911 Operators of Reddit Answer the Question: What’s the Strangest Call They Took

We all expect little kids to be scared of monsters; who hasn’t had a young person in their life who’s convinced that something sinister lurks under their bed or in their closet? But you don’t expect grown adults to be afraid of monsters, and you certainly don’t expect them to be so afraid of those monsters that they call 911.

But then, if you were new to a country and you had never seen their animals before, I guess you could find them pretty scary! Personally, I think raccoons are cute, but if you’ve never seen one before, they could be kind of alarming—especially in the dark where the light hits them in just the right way and their eyes glow.
