5 Strange Calls Police Officers Responded To On Halloween
Halloween is the spookiest night of the year, so it makes sense that police officers will have some strange calls to respond to. Here are 5 of the most bizarre ones!
A Sasquatch Twist
Reddit user Flyntlawk was called out on Halloween about some kids who decided to dress up like Sasquatch and walk through the woods next to a road.
“It was all fun and games until someone actually believed they found Sasquatch and started chasing them down in their pickup,” they explained.
“If you couldn’t guess, it was the kids calling 911 cause they believed they were going to get killed.”
She Wasn’t Part Of The Porch Decor
Back when Reddit User Wolf_Craft was a teenager, their mom was married to a detective. One year on Halloween, their mom’s husband was called by a screaming mom to come over to an old woman’s house.
This old woman passed away on her front porch, and not a single person in the neighborhood had noticed.
“They thought her body was creepy decor,” they stated. “A teenage boy thought he’d have his friends take a picture of him and the “prop.”
“He put his arms around the body. Said he thought the smell was coming from the inside of his costume mask until he realized the skin was too skinlike.”
She Was Convinced She Witnessed A Murder
IsClearALiar is a Reddit user who had to respond to an elderly woman who called to lodge a complaint about a murder she witnessed.
She went on to say that tons of people coated in blood were wandering around outside her home.
“[I] checked there and had to calmly inform her that this is Halloween and these are just some teens in costumes,” they said.
A Banana Man Passed Out On The Lawn
When Reddit user Dark_Knight7096 came home from a night out on Halloween, they were perplexed to see a big, yellow object on their lawn.
Upon further investigation, they determined the object was a guy in a banana costume who had passed out in the grass.
Since it was 40 degrees outside, and 1:30 a.m., they were worried to leave banana man outside all alone, so they called up the police.
A police officer arrived, rolled banana man over, and spotted a cell phone clutched in his hand. Banana man missed six calls from someone in his phone called “boo bear,” so the officer called the number.
“Do you know anyone dressed like a banana?” the cop asked the person on the other end of the phone.
“No, no, he is fine, sort of. He’s passed out on someone’s front lawn on (street name). Do you know where that is? Ok, great, look for the police car with flashing lights and come get him.”
Five minutes later, two kids in costumes arrived in a car, ready to collect banana man. But first, they asked the police officer if they had to go back to the station.
The officer told the kids to just take their friend home, but they wanted to know if they had to fill out any paperwork and if banana man was going to get arrested.
They kept on asking the same questions, so the officer asked, “Do you want me to arrest him? He hasn’t done anything wrong. I don’t feel like doing paperwork on this; he’s already thrown up once; I don’t need him throwing up in the back of my squad car; just take him home.”
The kids still kept asking about paperwork and jail, so the officer climbed into his car and drove off. The kids then turned to them to answer the questions that had already been answered.
Batman Went To Jail
While Reddit user strykerdoc isn’t a police officer, they are a dispatcher and paramedic. On Halloween night, a couple of years ago, they were on the night shift, and multiple phone calls came in to 911 about a man dressed completely in black who was dashing through different yards and sliding across the hoods of cars.
Within a 10-minute span, there were reports from five or six blocks away about the mysterious man.
“When I called down to the station to ask the desk guy if they really just arrested Batman, they laughed and hung up,” they said.
