Coincidence?

I bought the game FEAR yesterday. I played it for a bit. A fun game, very creepy. One of the guys I work with is into video games too and we play a lot of similar games. FEAR was a game he recommended I buy. We are discussing the game and he is telling me about one of the creepier scenes that is in it. The conversation goes something like this:

Billy - "I will tell you if you want me, too. I don't want to spoil the game."
Me - "Go ahead I don't care, I will still play."
B - "Well you are in an elevator. You push the button to go. The lights flicker and go out. They blink back on and the little girl, Alma, is in the corner. Then the lights go out again."
Right after he says that the lights in the Warehouse flicker and go out, just like in the game. Both him and I spooked for a second. We then both proceed to laugh.

Coincidence? Well ya.

It's amazing how much some people are willing to read into coincidence.

A friend of mine answered the phone once with; "Wow! Oh my god I was just about to call you, isn't that amazing?"

I said; "And how often does that not happen?"

"Shut up."

Freaky game. Sounds like a game called Silent Hill I used to play on the PS2...

Silent Hill was great for the creepy factor also. The AI though in FEAR is better and it seems creepier to me, but they are similar. FEAR is also an FPS.

FEAR is an FPS where Silent Hill is not, my post did not make that clear.
