This happened a few years ago, and it was one of the strangest incidences in my young life:

Like most of the sophomores on that sunny day a few years ago, I rode the bus home. Like any other day, the ride was uneventful. No fights, weapon threats, nothing (Our bus route went through the trailer park). We were just leaving the street where the only black family in town lived, when I noticed something walking, no, crawling through their neighbors yard. At first I thought it was a large dog. This thing was whitish-grey, about 4 to 5 feet long, and like I said earlier, was sort of crawling across person's lawn. I looked closer. The only other rider on the bus, a scary-smoking-delinquent-senior, noticed it as well. He asked if I thought it was a dog. Soon both of us had our faces pressed against the window. There was something wrong with this dog, if it was a dog.

After closer inspection (our bus driver was a slow driver) we both came to a realization.

This thing was a BIG FUCKING POSSUM. Seriously people, this thing was massive. Now for some reason, every time I pull into my driveway and see a possum, I just get chills down my back. I don't know why, probably somethin about how they crawl around. But this thing haunted my nightmares for a few nights. Imagine this guys, just imagine a possum that fuckin big.

Over the next weeks I became obsessed with hunting this monster. I looked up hunting laws in my small town. I went gun shopping. I was going to hunt this fucker down. I'm guessing you can find a flaw in this plan: I had no idea how to find this possom again. Come to think of it, I've never even seen another possum in broad daylight, and I sure as fuck wouldn't dare to hunt this monster in the dead of night. No fucking way. Eventually the days passed, and I gave up on the hopes of hunting this beast.

I've googled the subject countless times, and I havent found any info or anything on it at all. Have any of you ever heard of a similar thing?
