Coincidence or not?? (magical thinking)

Hey guys, I wanted to ask about OCD and coincidences. Just now, I had a very unpleasant experience.
A few weeks ago, I was looking at some pictures of a blogger and then I had an intrusive thought, something along the lines of "I wish something bad would happen to her", I don't remember quite well. Immediately I was like, "wtf, brain?" and did my ritual (knocking on wood) and also did a small prayer telling God that this was only my OCD speaking and that I would never wish her anything bad.

I had already forgotten about this incident, but today I randomly looked up the blogger again and found out that someone from her family has passed away. Immediately I remembered my thought from a few weeks ago and felt sick. I am kind of a spiritual person who thinks that thoughts could materialize, but I never believed that the intrusive thoughts, which are OCD and not me, could actually become true. I get really bad intrusive thoughts all the time, and it would be horrible if they would enter the reality. I really hope my thoughts have nothing to do with the poor girl's loss!! What do you guys think?

It's an unfortunate coincidence. Thoughts are just thoughts and can't hurt people.

Coincidence. Exact same thing happened to me, but even worse. An uncle was visiting me and I was so bored I idly wished something would happen to him to make the time more interesting. An hour later he gets a phone call that his dad died suddenly.

Two people die every second. This kind of magical thinking fear is common that even non-obsessive compulsives get it -- most generic grief counseling books have a chapter on it.

I hope this helps rather than triggering, but as my dubious psychic powers seem to work faster than yours as an experiment I just pulled up a picture of Rachel Ray and wished death on her with all my heart within three days. If you're still feeling crummy then go check her wiki and see how she's doing.
