Creepiest/ weirdest person you've ever met

That guy liked to wear dresses...and we're pretty sure he ate that baby...

 

Okay... this is a cross between a weirdest person story and a love story... lol

About 35 years ago, a guy and his wife were planning on moving up north to an empty piece of property beside the farm where I grew up.

They had most of their stuff packed and stored, ready to move, and were just waiting for him to turn 65 and his retirement. Two months before, his wife was diagnosed with cancer. He spent the next couple of months sitting by her side as she slipped away.

After she passed, he decided to continue on with their plan. Everything was mostly packed, so he came on up.

The property he had bought was just bush and forest... one small clearing about 100 feet across and that was it.

Over the next couple of decades, he built a sprawling ranch style house, mostly himself, cleared about 8 acres of lawns and gardens, including paths all through the surrounding bush, raised bees, had 2 acres of vegetable gardens every year, lived off the electrical grid, had a small generator for lights and so on.

Everything he did, was based on notes him and his wife had made in terms of what she wanted. His main motivation was literally to make his dead wife happy.

That's the love part... lol

About 20 years ago, he started running out of his own clothes. Fortunately for him (?), he did have a large selection of clothes available. They were just his wife's is all.

You haven't seen anything, until you have seen a 70+ year old man, caring for his bees, wearing a bee net hat, a blousy (poofy/frilly) shirt and a hot pink miniskirt. To make it even better, he would use those wide vegetable elastics around his legs to hold his varicos (sp?) veins in.

He was a nice guy, don't get me wrong, and what he knew about gardening would have put any 'expert' today to shame. But so very odd....

The creepiest part of it all, was when I moved back to the family farm about 10 years ago for the summer in between house flips. We had been there for about a few days, and we would start to get those 'somebody is watching' feelings. Keep in mind, this was literally the middle of the bush. Besides us and him, the next nearest person was about 4 miles up the road. It turned out that some of those paths he had made through his property, included ones that skirted close to the edge of the property where he could watch people at one of the two cottages we had on that side of the property. He'd ride around on his riding mower and peak through the bush at whomever was around.

Then of course pretend like he didn't when the subject was brought up... lol

 

And we're POSITIVE he ate that baby. Tori Amos fans are cannibals, you know...

 

There is a guy downtown named Wes, who is one of those "used to be normal before the drugs" types...I used to hang out with his cousin, so I do know the back story, not rumors.
Anywho, he had a Chuck Norris infatuation...he would always come in to the coffee shop I worked at and tell us how there was a monkey man in the moon that he could see and that he was going to fight Chuck Norris. (this was 20 years ago, before all the internet "Chuck Norris" stuff) Then he'd go into the parking lot and practice his pretend karate moves...
He would "hitchhike" by waiting at traffic lights and then just get into a car that was stopped at a red...lock your doors people
He would walk out into the street and "direct traffic"

I still see him sometimes, and I am careful not to make eye contact...

 

This old arab dude I went on a date with when I was 17. he told me he was 25. Turns out he was 45. I wanted to go home and was like 'i just want to touch, just touch'. blah.....thank god we went with another couple or I am sure I would have lost my virginity by force that night.

 

when i was working at this head shop i would have this 52 year old man come and visit every saturday asking for my co-worker Alicia, i told him every week that she doesn't work saturday mornings and he'd stay for a couple of HOURS and talk to me.


he was awkward, and whenever i responded 'yeah' to what he said he'd go 'yeah what?'

one time i had someone ask me to check out a shirt so i walked out from behind the desk and after the customer left, dude goes 'you have really nice feet' and i was like 'thanks' and he said 'do you mind if i put you on this list i keep of girls with really nice feel? you'd be around number 3'
and i was like uhh. then every time he came he would tell me how he was telling his friends about me and stuff...


then he asked me on a date and i told him i was married and he stopped coming but started calling for alicia on saturdays, when i worked.


then end.

 

the weather is bit crap and the people are anti-social but apart from that it's an o.k place.

the weirdest guy i know is me...and proud!

 

she can't be that boring if sh elive sin a tent!!

 

meh, what ever floats your boat dude :cheers2:
