Strange/unusual things you've witnessed!

[quodec]

We were on a ten day holiday on the majestic Italian Lake Garda in May/June 2017. A week in we took a day trip up along the east coast of the lake, hopping on and off the shuttle boats - as the mood took us - to visit some of the beautiful towns along its shoreline. On one of these coastal boat journeys I was up top doing some filming of the distant coastline when I suddenly noticed a long dark snake-like shape in the water in front of the boat, coming slowly towards us on the starboard side. I was somewhat mesmerised for a few seconds by the sight of this underwater phenomenon and was slow in getting the camera functioning. So unfortunately by the time I had it rolling the 'shape' had passed under the boat. Nobody else seemed to have noticed and when I checked my camera there was nothing useful captured.
It is difficult to gauge what length the 'creature' was, but certainly several metres long judging by its movement as it approached the boat. Subsequent 'googling' suggests that there have been various sightings of a creature in the lake - not unlike the Loch Ness sightings! So what did I see? No alcohol had been consumed (!) and my eyes definitely saw this long narrow shape travelling towards us and beneath the boat. And to this day I'm convinced something certainly was lurking beneath the waters of Lake Garda that day!
So - have you anything in a similar vein to offer for our delectation?

The eels in lake Garda get to be up to 1.5 m long.

The same goes for this indiginous snake

Not strange but unusual to myself in that I've never witnessed anything like it before. Was in Cape May, New Jersey and was taking a walk down at the beach and out of no where there must have been nearly a 100 dolphins that started jumping and going nuts in the water out at sea. Possibly feeding on something ? Was an almost magical experience that I'll never forget.

In a similar vein and probably completely "normal" but I can still remember standing on Achill Head one time on a really gloomy day, looking at a wall of rain falling from even greyer clouds just off the head and coming closer. Knowing there was no way I'd out-run it back to the car, I decided to stay put ... and was rewarded with seeing the wall split in two and pass me by as a curtain of rain left and right while my bit of rock stayed perfectly dry!

Have just remembered - those curtains closed again behind my vantage point, and drenched the rest of the group I was with, still coming up the slope!

Well, here's another strange thing I've just witnessed! It's a Youtube clip of a 1997 Howard Stern show where he is interviewing an alleged serial killer! Eerily the guy sounds somewhat convincing! It seems that this guy has never been caught! Have a listen and see what you think. (Viewers discretion is required)

Its wet outside and I've nothing better to do so here's a story I doubt anyone will believe.

Was in a pub in the UK with mates and spotted another mate in there playing darts. The guy was totally pissed - think it was only about 7pm so god knows what happened to him later. I go over to say hello.

So mate at the dart board pint in one hand dart in the other. He throws the dart falls forward drops his pint and recovers. The pint hit the thick rubber darts mat (he tripped over the end of it) and bounces. Now the amazing bit is as the guy recovered himself from falling he put his hand out and caught the pint glass on the rebound, looks at it and carries on drinking. The pint glass was about 3/4 full and a bit less than 1/2 full after bouncing and was caught about 2 foot above the ground.

Sober I don't think even Mythbusters could replicate it.
