This poor Texas woman was attacked by a hawk and a falling snake

When you hear about an animal attack in Texas, you might normally think of a dog attack, a lion attack, or maybe even a deer attack on a human. But this story is probably one of the craziest animal attack stories to ever come out of Texas, maybe even the world. It involves a woman gardening, a hawk, and a snake that fell from the sky.

How could a Texas woman be attacked by a hawk AND a falling snake and where did it happen?

It honestly sounds like something straight out of a horror movie (or in my case, a NIGHTMARE). But it happened on July 25, 2023 in Texas.

A 64-year-old woman from Silsbee, Texas, named Peggy Jones was mowing her lawn when out of nowhere a huge 4-foot snake landed on Peggy’s arm and wrapped itself around her arm. Shortly thereafter, a hawk (presumably the creature that was CARRYING the snake) attacked Peggy in an attempt to steal her food.

Thankfully, Peggy was not bitten by the snake. She survived the attack, but her arm was badly injured from the double attack. Even after hearing her account of what happened, I still find it hard to believe that it really happened…

Thankfully Peggy is OK now, but this opens up a NEW form of terror. Not only do you have to look out for snakes on the ground, but you now have to be extra vigilant because snakes will want to attack you!

There may be snake hideouts in other places in Texas, so keep your eyes peeled…

There are a horrifying number of musicians who have been murdered. Some of these musicians were born in Texas, while others tragically died in Texas. We lost these musicians too soon, but we still love them in Texas.
