i just sat outside on my back porch having a cigarette and i saw what i truly thought was a mouse. it even waggled its whiskers about and moved its head.
then i realised that what i was seeing was, in reality, a bit of dust / fluff swaying in the wind against a backdrop of the fence!

uh - oh.

share your stories of mistaken identity / hallucination please, then i wont feel like a complete nutter :-)

When I was about 13 I woke up in the middle of the night and, in the half light, I saw a small shappe on the edge of my duvet near the bottom of the bed. It was a mouse! I didn't know what to do, so I just stayed completely still, maybe thinking it'd gently scurry away. But it didn't move. What to do! So I lay there for about 20 minutes, frozen, just looking at the little creature, but it didn't move.

Eventually, I thought "this is too weird, I have to get out". So I girded my loins and decided to brave a jump out of the bed. As I did so, the creature moved! Aaargh! No, not aaargh. It was my foot.

When I was about four I saw a brown Liquorish Allsort on the kitchen table. I put it in my mouth and it was a cube of raw beef.

I woke up one morning, rolled over to face the ceiling and for a split second I thought that the lightshade hanging from the ceiling was my friend Andrew's grinning head.

i thought a plant-hanging hook was a cockroach (it was on the ceiling). No wonder it wouldn't die.

had exactly the same thing as Mark C above only it was about 9 months ago and it was really a mouse. just sat there on the boxes at the foot of the bed. (there on the stair, right there). after a couple of minutes he got down and just walked out the door. was most odd.

the jacket i have hung on the wardrobe door looks like a different something in the halflight / half awakeness on a weekly basis.

Lynskey attempted to freak me out once by insisting that a plastic bag which had been snagged on a fence was in fact an old drunk beckoning us over. I fell for it entirely, luckily for me he forgot that he was trying to fool me and started to believe it himself, we actually had to get to within two feet of the bag to realise that it wasn't a grinning signalling tramp.

I was sitting with my friend in a restaurant once, waiting for a friend of his, a dude in his maybe early '20s with long blond hair. My friend thought he saw him coming in the door & then realized he was looking at a five year old girl.

I found a mutilated calf once. It's head was cut off clean, and it had been otherwise sliced up in a non-random-seeming way. It freaked my friends and I out pretty bad. But every time I tell this story, someone asks, "Whay were you doing in a cow pasture," and I say, "Looking for mushrooms," and they roll their eyes. But I swear it's true.
