We used to go down to an abandoned train station to smoke in my home town. It was so isolated and huge, which is why it made for the perfect place to go and smoke with friends, skateboard and just generally hang out.
So my friend and I were sitting on the edge of the platform smoking a joint and chatting away at about 1am. It was so silent and peaceful. No wind blowing, no noise at all. It was a serene moment.
While we're blazing, we see a white owl come and land on the platform. My friend and I freak the fuck out. An OWL?! A WHITE OWL?! HERE?! (This is on the East Coast of South Africa, we don't see many owls, if any). Fuuuuuuck, we were so taken back by this owl. It blew our minds that this majestic creature had chosen to grace us with it's presence. It truly must have been our spirit animal reaching out to us in a moment of enlightenment.
So my friend pulls out his disposable camera and snaps a shot. We high five. We hug. We smoke another joint in celebration. Minds are blown all over the fucking train station.
A few weeks later and we've told everyone about our experience. It was so "out of body", man. Such a spiritual experience that cannot be expressed in mere words.
Anyway, my friend got his pictures developed and it was a seagull.
But it was a fucking SWEET seagull, though.

I got baked one night out on the beach, as I did many nights.
My good friend and i walked down the beach sharing a decent sized blunt. We finished the whole thing and decided to keep walking down the beach. As we walk, we notice a couple of strays laying in the dunes, about 50 yards away from the water. We were walking close to the water, but decided to stop. The dogs were about 30 yards away from us. We were high and it was dark, so we couldn't make out what the race was, but we knew it was 2 dogs.
We stood there, analysing the situation. Trying to see what we could do, we looked at the dogs, then debated on the options we had. We debated for about 10 minutes. The dogs were immobile, they could have been sleeping, but we had to do something.
All of a sudden, the choice was clear, we were gonna bring them home, and help them reunite with their masters, or keep them if they're not actually missing, but just strays. We started walking slowly towards them, trying not to startle them, make them run off. We try and make them come towards us, but without success.
By that time we're about 15 feet from them. We still weren't sure what breed they were, but we keep patting our thighs and saying come here boy, come on boy, whistlewhistlewhistle, come here" .. we did this for about 20 seconds, until one of the dog said "what the fuck are you doing!?" ..We panicked and ran off.
We went our way, wondering how we could have had the same trip.
TL;DR My friend and I met a talking dog, on the beach.

This is kind of the other side of the story. One morning I was getting picked up by my uncle for a ride to the airport at like 5:45. I was very tired, so i just hobbled into the first car I saw on the street, which happened to be the same color and basic shape as my uncle's. I get in the passenger seat, and as my brain starts to articulate the oddly powerful smell of some potent weed, I look over and see some dude staring at me in disbelief, he was not my uncle. It was pretty funny, he was obviously freaked out and super high. I just got out without saying a word and walked back into the building I was in.
