Weird Things I've Seen While Running

​I have seen and experienced some really odd things while running and hiking. Here are my top 3.  All of these occurred while I was living outside of Austin, TX.  What have you seen while running, walking, hiking, swimming, cycling, or outside in general?
 
I lived in a small suburban town outside of Austin, TX.  There was a university and a golf course across the street.  It was a rather tame place to live.  I was running down a street that connecting to my neighborhood and I saw a discarded mattress on the side of the road.  On top of this old discarded mattress was a whip.  I just kept on running…
 
Another Texas story… As I was running in my neighborhood I looked down and had to do a massive mid step jump.  I was about to step on a giant tarantula that was casually crossing the street.
 
Maybe this isn’t technically one of the weirdest things I’ve SEEN, but it was a freaky experience.  I was running in a thunder and lightening storm.  Not the smartest thing I have ever done.  And I had just moved to TX.   I had never experienced ground strike lightening.   A giant lightening bolt landed on the ground maybe 200 meters in front of me.  I felt this lightening strike in my soul!  It was awful. When I got home, I turned on the news and a University of TX student had been stuck by lightening on campus.
