Whenever really crazy events happen to us, we want to immediately tell everyone we know. But, when things are over-the-top wild, it so happens that the majority of people we know won’t believe us. Like, when you tell your friends you met a notorious serial killer who’s on the loose and the entire federal government is looking for–they may not believe you (seeing as you’re still alive and all). One Twitter user decided to open up about the time she met notorious serial killer Andrew Cunanan–the man who is responsible for Gianni Versace’s death.
Hi. I have a story to tell about meeting a serial killer. It's nuts. But it's true. So here goes.

It was the spring of 1997. I was in the sixth grade.

Every day after school, I'd go to the park by my house, the Panhandle, to play basketball.

One day after school, the park was more empty than usual. I usually practiced on the half courts. But the full court was open, so I was pumped.

So I'm there, doing my best MJ impression. And then I notice this guy who's watching me.

He's older than me, an adult, but still pretty young. He's wearing a long dark green coat. He's standing on the sideline, between the park's grass and the court.

I tried to just ignore him. If you know the Panhandle in SF, you know that there are always characters lurking around, sketchy, but not dangerous.
