Zombie Raccoons are terrifying residents in Northeast Ohio

Calls from residents reporting "zombie-like" raccoons have poured in across northeast Ohio, as officials puzzle over the animals' bizarre behavior.

Numerous residents of Youngstown in Ohio have reported encountering nightmarish raccoons that display unsettling zombie-like behavior!


People say, the raccoons stand on their hind legs, bear their teeth, and then topple over to the ground where they lay motionless for a while before repeating the puzzling maneuver.

Photographer Robert Coggeshall said he was playing with his dogs outside his home last week when a raccoon approached them. He quickly took his dogs back inside, but the raccoon followed them to the door.

Then the raccoon would stand up on his legs, which I’ve never seen a raccoon do before, and he would show his teeth and then he would fall over backward and go into almost comatose condition, Robert, Foxnews reports.

Not only raccoons show strange behavior, in January Owls have attacked humans and pets in Atlanta on at least three separate occasions. The large birds have reportedly swooped down, leaving their victims with varying degrees of wounds.


In March hawks are dive-bombing and even clawing at people’s heads in Connecticut and in St. Petersburg, Florida several otters attacked and killed a dog in the backyard of a couple’s house.

Another incident happened on the Braden River in Florida where an otter attacked a 77-year old woman while she was kayaking down the river. She told Fox13 that the animal suddenly jumped on her and began clawing at her. The animal eventually released its claws from her body and went back in the river.

Yet, the many birds that are sitting on the street like zombies as shown in the second video.

Something strange seems to be happening.
