When I was at uni/college there were a whole lot of strange people. Probably because there were three sheltered housing units within a mile of where I lived. The most well know was the woman who walked backwards everywhere, looking over her shoulder. We called her the "backwards walking women" in a fit of originality. She was a bit of a local feature, a really happy smiley lady who everybody said hi to. Then one day she vanished. It wasn't until a few weeks later when I found out what happened to her. I saw her walking forwards and she looked as miserable as sin. I guess somebody made her do it as "treatment". Poor woman. To my mind, her walking backwards was no big issue, she was friendly and happy and bar for a probable crick in her neck, there was nothing seriously wrong with her. I guess once she started walking forwards no one recognised her any more and she "vanished", just fell off everyone's radars.. sad really.
There was also a guy who'd dress up as a viking all the time and ride around on a motorbike. He was friendly too. Up until the day his girlfriend cheated on him and he charged over to the fella's house on his bike, drunk and waving a sword. The police stepped in and arrested him.
