Weird things that have happened in your area o.O

[Sean Hollyman]

So the other day, some dude commited suicide.

He tied a rope across his neck, and the other end around a tree.
He got in his car and drove off. His head popped off, and landed somewhere else

I feel sorry for the people who found him.. o__O

So yeah anyway, what weird things have happened in your area?

Well, there was this one spiritual healer fellow who recently offered to treat my sister despite not knowing my family. I don't know if he could tell from looking at my dad, or if some rumor had spread to him. In the end I don't have any explanation for how he knew she's ill.

We get a case like this plastered on the newspapers every couple of years. Also, a town a bit further away regularly sets barrels of tar on fire, put them on the back of people, then chase them. They even made it into an article on crackedhttp://www.cracked.com/article_19839_5-giant-city-wide-parties-you-wonE28099t-believe-are-real.html

It's not really weird, more disturbing, but considering the OP I thought I would mention it. The older brother of someone I used to know hung himself literally less than 2 minutes walk away from my house.

Some crazy guy stabbed someone to death just outside of the infant's school in my town too. It was on the weekend, but they closed it down while the police were investigating the area.

My town is really boring, so people do shit like that.

There's a stretch of canal that runs behind my house. A coffin was spotted floating down it a while back. I was thinking that someone must've had a strange last wish, until they confirmed that there was nobody inside it.

 

[Mr Cwtchy]

Pardon my French, but where the motherloving fuck do you guys live!?

Honestly, my own area is pretty dull. Occasional bit of graffiti, that's it.

 

[bobmus]

Well a guy got stabbed in the face with a screwdriver outside my uni flat, but my hometown is boring middle-class England, so nothing of interest.

Sarah Palin was born in my home town. They test nuclear subs in the lake I live by. My next door neighbor bombed abortion clinics, then robed backs when the cops where distracted.

I saw a car chase between a red sports car and a police officer. It looked like the one out of Death Note.

How do you shoot a spear!?

Via a speargun; it's a fishing tool, essentially a smaller harpoon launcher.

[MellowFellow]

An intoxicated lady drove her car into a restaurant near where I live.

"Once Sheriff?s Deputies arrived and determined that no one was injured,
they began their investigation into the cause of the crash. They
determined that Mrs. Florio started in the parking lot across the street
from the Sweet Lemon Café. She backed into one car and then
proceeded forward and crashed into two other cars. She then drove
over a retaining wall, over the sidewalk, across NW Central Drive,
over another sidewalk, and through the front window of the
restaurant. Thankfully the Sweet Lemon Café is closed for the
weekend and no one was inside."

Not too long ago, some wife-beater kidnapped his ex-girlfriend's child - a girl of 3 - and through her over a rail of a nearby bridge. The girl fell into the river, and her corpse was later found by the police after several days. Supposedly, the guy got away with it, as the court decided there were insufficient evidence to support the accusation.

Though, I imagine this qualifies more so as horrific, rather than odd.

 

[Rawne1980]

Someone tried to rob a bookies near where I live.

He went in with a hammer and threatened the lass behind the counter to "hand over all the money or you get your head smashed in" or something along those lines.

According to the paper the girl burst out laughing.

Moral of that story is don't try robbing a bookies with a hammer when the cashier is sat behind bullet proof glass. Apparently it makes them giggle.

Our local (elected) treasurer sent half of our county's budget to her online boyfriend in Nigeria.

Generally, but you know, technology marches on.

Dudes walked on the moon, and now we can fire spears underwater.

Harpoon gun?

OT: I must have been the first person in my area to get properly stabbed in years.

Our festival usually has some interesting things.

Spoiler: and of course, there's the Goblin story

So this guy we know called Nathan had this old man coming up to him every couple of days and talking to him. He'd be going on about how he'd trapped this goblin in the cupboard under the stairs in his house. "Oh, the goblin's getting quite loud", and things like that. Then one day, he was like "the goblin's been quiet for ages now, and I need your help to have a look".

Throughout, he'd figured the guy was senile, but this peaked his curiosity, and he went over. The old guy tells Nathan, "right, I'll open the door, and if the goblin gets past me, you tackle it."

He opens the door, and this midget from a parade that had been through a few days previously was lying there, half starved, and very dehydrated.
