Driving on a familiar gravel road in central Texas, late at night (I think it was clear instead of raining though), and suddenly this lone goat leaps into the middle of the road. It crosses the road, and leaps into the bushes on the other side. That apparently was some sort of signal, beause an entire herd of goats leaps out of the bushes and follows the first goat. I swear there were probably five hundred goats that crossed the road. And as suddenly as they appeared, they were gone.
I knew the area fairly well, and I knew that no one in the area raised goats. Who they were, where they came from and where they were going remains a mystery.

More farm country weirdness: this may be pretty normal for people who have knowledge of farms. It was strange to me.
My car broke down in farm country. Nothing for miles but farms, but I know there's a town about 4 miles ahead so I get out and start hiking it. I come upon a herd of cows. About 100 of them. Their eyes all follow me. As I walk by, the entire herd starts to follow me. I'm on the road side of the fence; the cows are on the other. Coltrane was the pied piper of cows for about a half-mile. I'd look back, and 10 feet behind were the cows. All staring at me and following me. I was pretty amused.
