The case of the “Jim Twins” is fascinating.

James Springer and James Lewis were identical twins who were born in 1939 in Piqua, Ohio but went their separate ways as infants.

They were adopted by different families yet went on to live eerily similar lives before reuniting at age 39.

 

The Jim Twins of Ohio

 

Each grew up with a brother named Larry, had a pet dog named Toy, went into law enforcement, and named his first-born son James Allan (with slightly different spellings).

And even if you chalk some of those matches up to genetic disposition, it doesn’t quite explain how each twin somehow married a woman named Linda before following with a second wife named Betty, or how both settled on the same vacation spot at a small beach in St. Petersburg, Florida, more than 1,000 miles away from where they were separately reared in Ohio.
