In a curious turn of events, the police in Gardner, Kansas, installed cameras in Celebration Park after receiving numerous reports of a mountain lion lurking in the area. Most of us would steer clear of the park under such circumstances, hoping to avoid the potential of being a midnight snack. However, there are always a few brave souls who find the thrill irresistible—like the one who ventured into the park dressed as a gorilla. Different strokes for different folks, right?
The police recently shared some intriguing images captured by their cameras on social media, and the reactions were nothing short of wild (pun intended). Comments flooded in from across the nation, with reactions ranging from “This is hilarious” to “What the heck is going on in this park at night?”
Let’s take a closer look at a few of those bizarre photographs, shall we?
First up is an image of what appears to be a wolf. While it’s not the scariest sight to encounter at night, it’s certainly not the most comforting.
Next, we encounter something a bit more unsettling—a figure that looks like a long-haired pig-man. Surprise! It’s just someone in a ghillie suit, perhaps on the hunt for the elusive mountain lion.
Then we see an older woman navigating the park with a walker and a machete. Who knew that a purse strapped to her walker could double as a deterrent for would-be thieves? Quite the sight for a midnight stroll, right?
And here’s a nod to “Alcoholic Santa”—because why not?
Oh, look! A cute little skunk! Just out and about, sniffing around for snacks. Nothing to worry about there.
Then things take a weird turn. A man in a gas mask is seen holding a bag, seemingly collecting samples. Is he on the trail of our long-haired friend from earlier?
Next up, we have a raccoon. A friendly reminder of the wildlife we often overlook. Fun fact: at my old house, raccoons used to utilize my crawl space as their personal “latrine” (yes, that’s what the wildlife expert called it). Good times!
A rather disheveled figure raises an eyebrow—could it be a pregnant werewolf? Who knows!
And just when you think it couldn’t get any stranger, we see not one, but two eerily staring figures. If I were wandering through the park at 2 AM and stumbled upon these two, I might just faint from fright.
As of now, the Gardner police have not provided any updates on the mountain lion or these peculiar sightings. Stay quirky, Kansas!
