Really Weird Blotter Reports is this week’s Mystery Question, and I’m still shaking my head at some of them. Not sure I can come up with one that’s as ridiculous as some of these…
But first the scripture and photo. Late one afternoon last week, I happened to look out my front door and the house across the street was bathed in a red glow. I grabbed my phone and ran outside and captured the photo. Later I learned we’d had a massive solar flare on that day and I believe that’s what made the awesome colors. I’ve always loved that scripture…it brings me comfort.
Now for last week’s Crazy 911 Calls Again. Three of these calls were actually made to 911 operators. Can you guess which one I made up?
- “911. What is your emergency?” Caller in a slurred voice: “I can’t remember my phone number. You gotta tell me what it is.”
- The 911 operator received a call from a girl in gym class at the local high school. She was in a panic, saying there was a squirrel on top of a telephone pole at the school and it wasn’t coming down.
- When the 911 operator answered a call, a guy yelled he wasn’t crazy, but he’d just escaped his apartment and ran to the closest 7-Eleven. He swore that his roommates were in cocoons and were turning into giant crabs. Yep. He was high on drugs.
- An elderly woman called 911 and said there were two guys dressed in blue trying to break into her house. The 911 operator sent 6 cops over. It turns out it was the gas company reading her gas meter.
And the answer is…#1. Congrats to all who guessed correctly!
Now for Really Weird Blotter Reports–this week’s Mystery Question. Three of these calls were actually made to 911 operators. Can you guess which one I made up?
- A resident informed police that on February 25 a family in the area is taking over the minds of local dogs and turning them against their owners. The resident advised police that the only way to protect the dog was to an anti-force field on his head before letting it go outside.
- An older woman reported to the local police that her neighbor was doing something illegal. When asked what he was doing, the woman responded she didn’t know but she knew he was because he wouldn’t look at her or wave when she waved to him.
- At 9:36 a.m. Monday the sheriff’s office responded to a complaint that someone had broken into a clubhouse and ate a hotdog and watched television. The complainant said it was an ongoing problem and that they were installing cameras.
- At 8:29 police received a call from a woman who reported she smelled something funny in her room last night. She believed it might be her husband.
Okay, Super Sleuths, which one did I make up? Leave your answers in the comments and I’ll enter you in an October drawing for a book from my library!

#4 – because it made me laugh.
Author
I’m glad I made you laugh today, Mary! We’ll see next week!
Hmm, I am thinking #4. Although they are all pretty crazy.
Author
They are crazy, aren’t they Ellen! Glad you stopped by.
I think you made up number 1 because it sounds kind of Halloweenish, and since it’s October…
Author
Ahhh…love your logic, Priscilla…we’ll see next week how it works out. 🙂
I think #3 is made up.
#1 I hope! The other 3 are weird too! Beautiful photo! Thanks for sharing!
I’m going to guess#3 is made up even though it’s hard to believe that any of the other ones are true. Thanks for the laugh with#4!
Author
So glad I made you laugh, Angela! And we’ll see if it’s #3 next week!
Pat, that photo and verse just made my day. Love the pairing. Now, what’s up with your second photo? That is also intriguing. It looks like the white streak is in front of the trees. Have you taken up drone flying 🙂
These 911 calls are a real hoot. I can imagine people making calls #1-3, but #4? The only way #4 would make sense is if the wife had a restraining order or was divorced from him. It’s pretty funny, but I’m saying you made up #4.
Author
Tim, the 2nd photo is a video…made by Revell. 🙂 I do like the lines, though. I’m glad you thought #4 was funny. We’ll see next week if that’s the correct incorrect answer. 😉
I love the scripture and picture! They are perfect together.
I’m going with #4.
Author
I’m glad you liked my picture and scripture, Terri! Thanks for stopping by.
I’m guessing #4. It’s so funny!
Author
We’ll see, Paula. Thanks for stopping by.
I’m going with #2 this week.
Author
We’ll see, Gloria. I started at the other end and this is the first one for #2. 🙂

We’ll see, Patricia…we’ll see.
I love the photo and the scripture. I think you made up #4.
Author
We’ll see, Joyce! And I’m glad you enjoyed my photo and scripture!
Wow! The photo! Such a God creation! Hmmm, the poor 911 operator having to deal with these calls. I’m going with #1.
Author
I really do feel sorry for 911 operators and dispatchers, Barbara! Thanks so much for stopping by.
#4. The view from your house is beautiful! That scripture gives me comfort as well. 🙂
Author
That was the weirdest thing, Joy–the way the red glow took in the house across the street, then I turned around and there was this beautiful sky. Thanks for stopping by. We’ll see next week if it’s #4.
Some of these make me chuckle, they seem so outrageous. I’m going to guess #4 as the false one this week.
Author
I’m glad they made you chuckle, Megan! I’ve done my job. lol We’ll see next week if it’s #4.
#1

We’ll see Alicia!
Gorgeous picture! It’s interesting the way the color is peaking between the leaves on the trees. The verse is very meaningful.
I think these people need to be treated for their mental issues when they make calls like these. I think you have succeeded in coming up with one that is equally off the wall. The difference is that you are not making calls to 911, but simply making up a crazy scenario to challenge our minds. At least, I don’t think you made any of these calls, did you? LOL! I’ll go with #4 as made up.
Author
Oh, but I did make up one of them, Edward, and it wasn’t easy! These were really nuts. lol
Beautiful photo. I guess I’m going to go with #1.
Author
Thanks, Diana. We’ll see next week!
beautiful photo and scripture! I will choose #1 as false
Author
Thanks, Shelia. We’ll see…
Surely it has to be #4. I think of you often. Prayers
Author
Thank you for the prayers, Lucy! And we’ll see if it’s #4 next week.
Love the vibrant photo.
Author
Thanks, Sally Jo! it was an unusual sunset!
I’m going with popular #4 this week because wouldn’t you want to make sure it wasn’t your husband who smelled funny before you called 911? Or why call 911 just because you smelled something funny? I don’t know, it sounds crazy to me, lol!
Your photo is one in a million! Talk about being in the right place at the right time 🙂 That is a very comforting and assuring scripture and one of my favorites too.
Author
Trixi, when I saw that red glow against the house next door, I knew I had to capture it…then I turned around and Wow! What a photo op. Thanks for stopping by.
Pat, I love the scripture and photo!
#3
I think #1 is false and made up because there’s a word missing 🙂
Author
We’ll see, Delores. Sharp eyes. lol
