"Strangest thing I have come across has to be a homeless campsite. The sight itself wasn't too bad, just a few candles, some random papers, a cushion from a lawn chair, but seeing it scared the crap out of me knowing there could be someone down there with me." source

"I found a really big snapping turtle. And it was angry. I tried lifting it out by creating a seal with a vacuum, but it would always claw at the manhole, pull itself loose, and drop back in.
