They're all correct and there's no difference in meaning. As long as you follow the general "subject-verb-object" word order, modifiers can be placed almost anywhere.

I would say that
1. "Sometimes these things happen"
2. "These things happen sometimes"
Are both used, however, I would say that "Sometimes, these things happen" is used 9 times out of 10.
Which one you use depends on the context of the sentence before it and how you're delivering it.
