911 Operators Reveal The Most Hilarious Calls They Received
While we all know first responders have among the most traumatizing jobs in the world, we must admit that 911 operators can surely tell some scary stories from their job.
In a recent Reddit thread, some of them decided to share weird and hilarious calls they got and their stories are simply epic!
Get ready for stories of people calling for help when seeing a wet deer, reporting in ghost hauntings, witchcraft, or witnessing duck fights. Yes, we said duck fights….
20. The Killer Alligator Ready to Strike
“Female: There are alligators in the river.
Me: Yes ma’am, this is Florida.
Female: But my kids play and swim in that river.
Me: Why do you let your kids play and swim in alligator infested waters?” – Reddit user BizzyM
Some people shouldn’t be allowed to have children if they let their kids play in the exact river where you’ve seen alligators swim around…
19. Reporting in a Ghost
“My dad used to work as a 911 call operator.
He says the best (or at least the strangest) was an old woman who regularly used to call in saying her house was either being haunted or broken into – she was never quite clear.
Apparently, nearly every day she would go up into the attic and find a new half-finished canvas painting (before it mysteriously vanished a few days later).
It turns out it was her husband, who had been secretly painting at night all through their marriage (and running a business selling some of these paintings).
He had always kept it a secret from her, fearing she would see it as ‘unmanly’ – but in his senility was forgetting to hide away the paintings in the day.
I think she helped running his business and when he died, she took up painting herself as a way to remember him.” – Reddit user wanderingpixelhead
This is quite an unique story, and what makes it really strange is that the man hid his hobby for so many years, not knowing his wife would actually support him.
We must all agree that seeing paintings in the attic and then seeing them vanish is quite unsettling…
18. The 911 Call Ends With a Marriage!
“When I was a kid I called 911 really quick and then hung up, just to see what might happen. The first responders showed up, talked to my mom, realized everything was fine, and I got off with nothing more than a stern talking-to.
It had a happy ending however since one of the first responders ended up dating and eventually marrying my mom.
They’ve been together happily for over two decades now.” – Reddit user Misanthrope_penguin
Nobody saw it coming, right? A little kid’s curiosity got him in trouble, but he did end up winning a father in the process!
17. Asking for a Deputy Knowledgeable in the Mystic Arts
“I once got a call from a man who wanted to file a report because he believed his daughter was doing witchcraft on him and he only wanted a deputy that believed in witchcraft to assist him.” – Reddit user Cuzimawesome86
If you’re wondering whether you should put all the little details about yourself in a CV when applying for a job, then you should know, it can one day help you. What if there actually is a deputy that knows all about witchcraft?
Next time, he should call for one of the Winchesters!
