I'll start the ball rolling with a cow swimming/floating through Bridlington harbour.
I don't care what anyone else posts - that's HILARIOUS! C an you imagine what a cows face would look like when floating. A look of total bemusement I imagine!

Sitting in a pub in York (The Maltings, for those who know), looking out of the window, a Viking Longship goes past the window (the trailor was obscured by the edge of the bridge and it was so long it didn't look like it was being towed).
When you're pissed it's hilarious and surreal, especially the look on the face of the guy sitting with his back to the window when everyone looked over his shoulder, surprised, then said 'Oh look, a Viking boat'.

Man slipped in front of me at the traffic light waiting to cros in heavy traffic. Foot went under the rear wheel of a bus. Screams ensued and the everyone tired to alert the bus driver of the problem.
Only problem was that a crowd of people losing their minds did no favours for the bus driver. He was being told "go forwards" and "no, reverse". So, as you can imagine, the bus was going backwards and forwards over the lower leg of this poor guy who was trying to pull his leg out from under the wheel. Lasted about a minute but seemed to go on forever.
Just to add:
If anyone doesn't know Clapham Junction train station there is a large height difference between some trains and the platforms.
Anyway, I was sitting on the train a long time ago and the train was about to leave. This little chap came flying up the stairs and heard the "beep, beep, beep" signaling the doors were about to close. hahaha I remember this like it was yesterday.
So, he is about 8 metres from the door and launches his suitcase first which flew through the doors and smashed into the closed doors on the other side of the carriage. He then tried to jump into the train as the door closed. Due to the gap in width and gap in height between the the platform and train.....oh and the fact that his take off point for someone not immediately athletic in appearance may have led to him falling through the gap under the train.
He climbed out but the doors had already closed with his bag on it.
I have never laughed so hard in my entire life. I laughed for the entire hour journey and was luck enough to have a mate there to witness it.

divine retribution from ants.
On hol in the algarve. Grumpy has been ant baiting all afternoon and evening, killing them by torture and making them suffer etc. We all go to bed and during the night grumpy wakes up screaming. Ants have come in thru a hole in the in the skirting and have walked up the bed leg, over the head board, past me and straight down the other side onto him. He was absolutely covered in the wee darlings biting for all they were worth.
I reckon them critters is darn intelligent!

Me: I saw/witnesses a few fellow cyclists being hit from above by a bed once.

Once in a Malaysian jungle a dude I knew well got apparently "possessed" and he was suddenly able to speak fluently in a language I know for a fact he didn't (and doesn't) speak. At the same time there were a couple of army guys rolling around in the ground bawling their eyes out on command from this friend of mine who was uttering very stern words (in this strange language), when he's usually quite a soft spoken and jovial chap.
Before we left the army dudes there confiscated all our cameras and removed all film lest we captured any of that morning's events.
It's been about a decade now but my friends and I still talk about that day.
I don't know where you guys stand on this kind of stuff, but I was there, what happened is corroborated by all my fellow mates who were also there, and I kid you not - it was freaky and I know of no science that can explain what went on.
And as to multi-lingual mate? No recollection of said event, and yup, still unable to utter hardly a word or two of said language.

^^^^^@Deadlock. That's pretty spooky. Some strange sh1t going on.
Strangest for me was when I used to live not far from a major airbase. One night I was outside and caught some aircraft lights coming towards me, usual port red / starboard green / white tailight.
It was a very large delta shaped aircraft as far as I could make out, did about 3 orbits around my area including very near my house about 3-4000 feet or so.
Nothing strange in that except it made absolutely no sound whatsoever, no jet noise, prop, humm etc. and it was a perfectly still quiet night.
Never saw anything like that again.
Your thoughts Eric ?
