Weird and Questionable Things That Happened to People Whilst Trick or Treating

Okay, this story doesn’t involve an actual squirrel massacre. But it’s pretty dramatic nonetheless. In the weirdest series of events, this storyteller’s toddler tripped over a squirrel while trick-or-treating one year. Why this squirrel didn’t run out of the way when confronted by a running child, we’ll never know. Don’t most squirrels know how to run away?

In a tragic twist of events, the trip ended up killing the squirrel. The fact that this kid tripped over a literal squirrel would be pretty funny if it wasn’t so sad. No one wants a squirrel’s murder on their hands, much less a four-year-old. According to our storyteller, their kid has never recovered from the traumatic event. Poor thing.
