I was chased by a bat

[OrangePixyStix]

While we were skating yesterday I hear a sound of something flying by my head and turn to see it was a bat! I probably haven't skated so fast in my life but I booked ass trying to get away and friend said it was following me for a couple of minutes before it veered off back into the trees.

Freaked me out for a hot minute. I didn't think they would come out in the daytime but apparently they do.

Wha? OMG! I would have freaked out, too!

It didn't touch you did it? Urgh! That would give me nightmares for sure!

eww that would just give me the creeps! It's basically a flying rat

No, it didn't touch me but I have no idea why it followed me like that! Friend was behind me and just kept a distance and watched it happen (thankfully she wasn't laughing at me, I am sure I looked like a fool). I was flailing around my arms and trying to get as much speed as I could to get away.

I have not seen a bat on that trail before yesterday, but it definitely makes me more paranoid now that I know they are out there and willing to chase me down.

Bats are so creepy! We had one get stuck inside our cottage when we were kids - I still remember my mom and grandfather chasing it around with our butterfly nets. I was always scared of them because they say they will fly at your head and get stuck in your hair - ew!

Glad it veered off just in time!!
