06-28-2024 - On This Day in Insane History

On June 28th, 2024, in the small village of Piddleton-on-Marsh in the English county of Dorset, Constable Ian Wright was going about his morning rounds checking in on the locals and making sure all was quietly in order as usual in the tranquil hamlet. While passing the old stone church, Wright noticed something rather bizarre under the large oak tree beside the graveyard - two cows seemed to be having an intense discussion with several crows that were perched in the lower branches, squawking and flapping their wings vigorously. Wright hurried over to investigate, thinking poor Farmer Jenkins' cows had perhaps escaped their pasture again. But as he drew near, to his amazement, the cows did not run off - they remained where they were, cocking their heads from side to side and seeming to listen intently to the crows. "Well I never!" exclaimed the bewildered Constable. But before he could make sense of the strange happening, one of the crows let out an unusually long series of caws, at which point both cows nodded sagely and mooed softly in response, before calmly ambling off behind the church and out of sight. Wright rubbed his eyes in disbelief, thinking the early morning sun must surely be playing tricks. Yet the curious conversation under the oak tree would remain etched in his memory for years to come.
