If there is one thing that most of us can agree on about life, it is that it has a great capability for throwing us curveballs. We can just be going about our normal business expecting nothing out of the ordinary, and then something that can only be described as crazy happens. No matter how normal or even boring their existence might be otherwise, most people have a story or two about something that seemed to come completely out of the blue and disrupted all that had come before.

For everybody with a story like this, the execution is a little different. Maybe they saw some kind of animal somewhere that it shouldn’t have been, or they appeared to have a brush with the paranormal. Whatever it is, it usually makes for a good story or a wild mental image at the very least. It can be weird enough that others don’t believe them. Sometimes truth really is stranger than fiction.
