To ask for an explanation for wtf just happened? **MNHQ UPDATE: Mystery solved!**

[WeirdlyKind]

I'm seriously creeped out and can't figure out a rational explanation so I'm hoping someone can!

Sitting in the kitchen, eating dinner when a black shape ran past my legs, close enough that I felt it pass. Figured it was my cat at first but when I stood up, she was sitting on the windowsill!

The dark shape ran into the living room where my partner is (he saw it too, because he shouted me!)

It apparently jumped on the sideboard and vanished in front of his eyes. There's nowhere it could go - the sideboard is solid oak on a solid stone wall.

The dog is now going mental at the sideboard like there's something there (if there is, we can't find it!)

I'm genuinely creeped out - anyone have a rational explanation? What the hell did we see?

Maybe it was the same cat all 8 times, then after the 9th time it will depart.

Awww ❤️

Rat! We live next to a farm and one ran ost our patio doors earlier. Very similar

@WeirdlyKind

We're all wrong!

It was next door's bloody rabbit! Sitting watching Call the Midwife and the damn thing hopped out from behind the TV unit. Nearly gave me a bloody heart attack!

Well that’s officially the most amazing thing I’ve seen on here tonight! You’ve won MN.

That is so funny! Far far far better than a rat, though!

Sorry OP but that’s hilarious.

Very cute rabbit

Awww!

Omg I was reading this thread thinking definitely a rat and thinking I would have to burn the house down. Love your update 😊

Not how I saw this thread going! But what a relief. Much easier to get rid of than a rat!

@Ballcactus

Hard to know but I think you should burn the house down tbh

For sure. 😂 Move to another county too.

How did it get in? Cheeky rabbit.

It's your rabbit now.

Shadow. Any sort of wildlife. Dog is probably barking because of both your reactions. Im sure there will be people along to tell you its a ghost... its not.

What a difference a few scraps of generic material makes. A rabbit is totally different from a rat. Cute and sweet and pick-uppable rather than nasty and repulsive and disgusting. Funny isn’t it!

Very pleased it was a bunny.

That might be the best story ending of the year so far how did he get in?!

It's a rat dressed as a bunny

HahhahahhhahhhHahaaaaa
Rabbit
Brilliant

Didn’t expect that, I thought rat. Lucky the dog wasn’t quicker. Great story with cool ending.

Not surprised it scared you to death - not exactly what you expect to see! Ah, she/he looks cute though.

Called pippin, not Houdini! But yes, much nicer than a rat! Little bugger must have snuck in while we were bringing the shopping in and hid! No wonder the dog was going mad 🤣😁

This is the best thing I’ve seen all day!

Made me laugh like mad when I got over the shock! 😁😁😁

🤣 brilliant @WeirdlyKind.

So sweet!

I want one now.

Well, thank gawd for that!
