    No lie, this really happened....one time I went to visit my cousins in Southeastern Kentucky and we were at church and we could hear from outside a man was moaning and crying for help. The people thought he was filled with the Holy Spirit and got so much more excited. Then when church was over and everyone went out, the man who had been moaning and crying was still shaking, holding the butt of a cigarette and on the ground in front of him was a huge copperhead snake. It was the time of the summer when snakes shed their skin. He could not see the man but he knew the man was there. The man wasn't moving anywhere.
