Omg. I fear raccoons. They're everywhere. I've seen more of them in my daily treks than rats. This is a nightmare.

Irizarry, a student at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City, had recently shared an apartment in Brooklyn with three roommates and at least one uninvited guest who lived in the crawlspace over the ceiling.

“I mean, we’ve always kind of had problems with the apartment since we moved in,” Irizarry told Nexstar. “We live next to a cemetery, and we came up with this joke … that if we heard scratches on the walls, that we were haunted.”

No, her apartment wasn’t haunted. But one night in November 2021, she and her roommates made an arguably more horrifying discovery...

The picture showing a small hand peering over a ceiling
light pendant is creepy and funny at the same time. These
curious critters have a way of getting themselves into some
really awful messes.

Raccoons are very smart. I have seen them in groups over at Jersey City at peoples back yards. Those raccoons communicate with each other as they cross the street, climb over fences, and up on trees. They leave no man behind lol
