One day while heading inside one evening after playing with friends, I spotted a small spider crawling along the ground. I wondered how aware the creature was to the rest of the world, and decided to perform a test.
I reached into my pocket and pulled out a plastic spider, the kind with the little clip on the back so you can hang it from your shirt. It had been on my Halloween costume that year. I knelt down, and then very carefully dropped it in front of the spider (I think it was a wolf spider). The real spider froze, undoubtedly frightened of what appeared to be a giant Black Widow, or a Tarantula, which was suddenly blocking the way.
At that moment, my Mom yelled, and I went in for dinner. After supper, I checked on the situation, and saw that the Wolf Spider still hadn't moved.
Several days later, I was passing by the same spot and saw that the spider was still there. I removed the plastic novelty, and then poked at the spider. It didn't move! Taking the tweezers from my Swiss Army knife, I picked it up and gently blew air at it.
It was dead! Probably frightened to death! How it changed my life:Everything has a consequence, even some you don't even think are possible! You can join Unsolved Mysteries and post your own mysteries or
