A woman performed a spiritual ritual on a Possum in Waukesha

https://www.jsonline.com/story/communities/waukesha/news/waukesha/2020/02/25/woman-performed-spiritual-ritual-dead-possum-waukesha-police/4870877002/

Waukesha police on Monday afternoon received calls that a woman was performing a spiritual ritual on a dead possum in the road at the intersection of Springdale and Bluemound.

The woman, who apparently stopped and got out of her car when she saw the possum, threw goldfish and windshield washer fluid on the dead animal, a caller told a dispatcher, according to a police call log.

The woman then pulled a Green Bay Packers lawn chair out of her car and yelled "repent" at the possum, the log said.

It's where they "suddenly" find 15,000 GOP votes somehow.

Should cross-reference names with local cemeteries.

Possums are notorious for appearing deader than they really are. Maybe it was just resting.

The book resurrecting possums for dummies suggest using water first and if that doesn’t work in 5 minutes to switch to something with ammonia like smelling salts or wiper fluid.

If that doesn’t work it’s a sign of possession so yelling repent and sprinkling holy water is advised. She was probably out of holy water, but honestly possessed possums aren’t that common.

Or maybe the possum was just dead and she’s a nut but I don’t like to judge.
