If you ever find town to be a bit too tranquil, just take a glance at the Nevada County Sheriff’s Call Logs. You’ll soon discover that, much like the unsettling silence of playing children, a quiet town is often a telltale sign that mischief or unusual happenings are afoot.
From mysterious electrical incidents to rogue peacocks, Call Log Diaries #9 proves that reality is often stranger than fiction.
Here are some of the most shocking (literally) reports that recently came through dispatch in Nevada County, California.
The Shocking Window Encounter
A 911 caller reported that a disabled woman and a child with Down syndrome were electrically shocking them through the window. While the logistics and motive of this alleged attack remain unclear, one thing’s for sure—this is a plot twist even science fiction couldn’t predict.
The Pantsless Power Surge
A witness reported an older woman — teeth and pants missing — messing around with the electrical box in the area of the Sierra Super Stop in North San Juan. She may have just been an elderly electrician making a fashion statement but regardless, this one definitely left locals buzzing.
The Scream-and-Dash Bandit
Imagine having a stranger come to your door, scream and then run away. One local man lived this nightmare and promptly called 911. We can only hope it was either a prank gone wrong or the world’s most aggressive game of ding-dong ditch because law enforcement was unable to locate the suspect.
Skunk in Suspended Animation
An immobile skunk was reported in a backyard, leaving the caller in a real stink. Was it playing dead, deep in thought, or simply waiting for a dramatic rescue by animal control? We may never know.
The Peacock Uprising
One caller reported an ongoing issue with nuisance peacocks, proving that these flamboyant birds are not to be underestimated. Between their piercing cries and flashy displays, it sounds like they’ve declared a hostile takeover of this neighborhood.
Life in Nevada County is anything but dull.
Whether it’s high-voltage hijinks, rogue wildlife, or unexpected screaming strangers, these 911 calls remind us that sometimes, town is better when it’s not so quiet.
