Mystical Beast?
Another longtime lurker joins the fray...

A few years back I was a Special Constable in the Police. At the time I was working out of Henley nick. I was working a night duty and it was in the wee hours of the morning, around 3am.

My crewmate was driving us down an A road in the Oxfordshire countryside, and I was feeling drowsy. I was trying really hard to nod off, whilst appearing awake, which is difficult to do in a moving car.

I had my elbow resting on the top of door and my cheek resting on my fist. And my eyes where drooping when suddenly I saw...

...a Unicorn.

Yup, it was standing on the verge, eating grass. A white Unicorn with a single horn on its head. I swear, it was as real as this keyboard I sit typing on.

My eyes snapped fully open and I turned to face my crewmate. "Did you see that Dangerous?" I asked. He looked at me. "See what?" he replied. "Erm, nothing".

I looked in the mirror and saw nothing behind. It obviously wasn't there, a mere figment of my sleepy imagination. But it looked so REAL!

Now to the point of this unamusing tale, we all know Unicorns are stuff of fantasy, right?

But what if my dozy brain had conjured up a UFO hovering over the trees? It would have looked real, and maybe I wouldn't have been so hasty in giving myself a mental slap and a 'don't be silly, it doesn't exist'. I mean, loads of people have seen UFOs.

Quite a few of them people working at night, in the early hours...

Length? About 12 inches, with a pointy end and a spiral down it.

You have a point
with a lack of tangible evidence to prove otherwise, I'm staying firmly in the skeptic camp. I've also experienced weird things, but if I'm being perfectly honest, it all could have been explained away by good old fashioned science.

When I actually see proof of ghosts, alien visitors etc... then I'll believe it. Until then though, it makes for interesting reading anyway! Yay!
