Definitely a “when worlds collide” sort of thing.
My favorite remarkable (if grisly) fact is this:
In 1838, Edgar Allan Poe wrote a novel in which a group of starving men on a wrecked ship resort to cannibalism.
In 1884, a real group of starving men on a wrecked ship resorted to cannibalism.
In both cases, the victim was named Richard Parker. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Narrative_of_Arthur_Gordon_Pym_of_Nantucket#20th_century
