Lincoln and Kennedy were as everybody knows, two of the most popular Presidents that America has ever seen. Both being civil rights campaigners. But, could they have been two different men with the very same soul, leading their country forth in two very different eras?

The coincidences between these men and their lives are very obvious and quite spooky when collated together. Some of them very small and others seem to be so giant its a wonder they haven't been front page news!

It all began when in 1846 Lincoln was elected. Strangely, Kennedy was elected 100 years later nearly to the same day and to the same position. Both men when assassinated were killed by men with 15 letters in their name, being .. John Wilkes Booth and Lee Harvey Oswald. Small but certainly significant considering that when both Presidents had been assassinated they were succeeded by two men with the surname Johnson who each had 13 letters in their name!!

Lincoln and Kennedy both went through the enormous tragedy of loosing a child whilst in the position of President. All these things seem maybe coincidental but the list really does get deeper and more evolved. For instance Both Assassins were in their twenties and both were shot before their trial dates.

well over 100 years ago Lincoln had a secretary named John Kennedy and more recently Kennedy had a secretary called Miss Lincoln!! Coincidence - I think not!! History certainly seems to be repeating itself. But is it the same soul finding refuge in what it knows or simply no more than coincidence..

They do continue however with things like, on a Friday booth shot Lincoln in the back of the head at the Ford Theatre and ran to a warehouse. Oswald, also on a Friday shot Kennedy also in the back of the head in a Ford car from a warehouse and ran hide in a theatre.

The most surprising coincidence' of all is that both men on the day they were shot each said that if someone was to try to kill them that day there would be nothing they could do to prevent it.

Is it the same soul living on through time? Does this happen to us all but is unrecognizable to us? I am sure we will never know but it makes for interesting reading and thought. I leave it up to each individual to decide.

Maybe fate dealt a hand in these tragic men's lives. Lets hope that the cycle however is broken as we don't want to go through another assassination anytime soon!!
