#5: Have Raccoon, Will Travel
A woman found herself stranded with a flat tire on a quiet road at dusk. Just as panic started to rise, a man appeared out of nowhere to help. That would’ve been unusual enough, but he wasn’t alone. Perched casually on his shoulder was a fully grown raccoon. The raccoon didn’t seem fazed by anything and watched calmly as the man fixed the tire like it was an everyday occurrence.
After the job was done, the man nodded politely, raccoon still in tow, and simply walked away. There was no car, no flashlight, no explanation. It was as if he and his strange companion had appeared out of thin air. She never saw him again and still wonders if it was some kind of bizarre dream. The whole scene felt more like a surreal cartoon than real life, but she’s incredibly thankful for the oddest rescue of her life.
