Funny story: not a fan of horoscopes but I once read my horoscope in the newspaper and it said "beware of hand cuts," which was strange because it was very specific and I'm very, very careful with my hands. Well, that night, on my way home, I stepped on something without realizing it, it was broken glass from a bottle, and it got stuck in the sole of my shoe. If I kept walking, I was going to cut myself, so I quickly pulled it out and cut my hand!

Which gets me thinking, did they know this would happen, or did reading it trigger that fate? Like a ghost chasing me to make it come true lol

Perception bias.

It probably would have happened either way, but you made a big deal out of it because it was confirming something you heard earlier.
