Having worked all over the place, the weirdest and most surreal moments in time are when you're on smoke break during the night shift, staring into the desert/forest/rural wasteland at nothing in particular, and letting your mind wander. Whether you spook yourself into hearing or seeing something that doesn't exist, might exist, or did exist, to thinking about how far away your bed is, and the possibility you might not see it again.
But thats just a hypothetical, the most weirded out i've ever been was working night shift out in the middle of nowhere, going for my break, and seeing a car drive about 1km away from where i was standing, facing me, and not moving. Nobody got out, and just idled and watched. None of my crew saw it leave, either.
My buddy insists that one time, during an over-nighter, he was taking trash out to the dumpster and saw a fucking raccoon-alligator hybrid about six feet long clamber out of the dumpster and in to the woods. It's wild out there. Stay strapped stay safe.
