Here's one for you - it's got both the supernatural shit and the animal encounters all rolled into one juicy... supernatural dinner roll (I said I would post stories, not good metaphors): One time in Asia (Philippines, to be specific), a continent that has the freakiest shit to ever come out of bulls, Ol' Grampa had to have his leg amputated or his disease or whatever would spread and kill him much quicker than normal. The night he was supposed to come back home, everyone was decorating the neighborhood to celebrate his safe surgery (the neighborhood was pretty much all blood-related).
That same night, about two hours before the old timer was supposed to come back home for the party, apparently one of the party-planners spotted giant motherfucking snake in the ceiling of the kitchen of Grampa's house. She was screaming, so out of human instinct, curiosity and stupidity, we all crowded around the door of the kitchen and even caught a glimpse of the side of the fucker's body. It was like a moving water pipe that liked wearing leather pants.
This was like 6 or so years ago when I was 15 or something. (Around the time I joined this site, actually.) I had no real idea what was going on, but I knew that the party, at the moment, got so fucked up the ass that a S.W.A.T. team for giant snakes was called in (apparently that's a thing) consisting of a bunch of dudes who only asked for beer and some of the party food as payment. One guy - and I shit you not - started Assassin's Creed-ing the side of the main house and opened up a part of the roof where we thought the snake would be. For a while the team couldn't find the guy. We told them it was an orange, exotic-looking snake, so that's what they were searching for. They finally caught the thing around the time Gramps came home from his fucked party (the look on his face made me both happy and sad). Only... the snake was brown.
Yeah, so here comes the supernatural part: My dad used to have a sister who liked playing with animals, or something. Apparently she died getting hit by a bus when she saw a snake or something she wanted to play with. I've never known for sure all the details because I've never had the heart to ask he or any of my uncles/aunts about her. And so we asked the Filipino version of a psychic what the hell a brown snake was doing in the roof instead of the clearly orange one we saw earlier, and she explained that it might have been my dad's sister in mortal form making sure Grampa made a safe recovery. When we spotted her, she... replaced herself with a brown snake? We don't know, but it must have sucked to be that brown snake.
So yeah. There's plenty more where that came from.
