Some fans are better left in the dark.

Camper Derrick Skou found out the hard way when he was relaxing during a camping trip and playing some tunes. The unsuspecting Oregonian was attacked by a RABID BAT AND WAS BITTEN ON THE NECK VAMPIRE STYLE!

From the article:

‘Something hit me. I was concentrating on staying in time and all that, and it hit me here, and I kind of saw something out of my peripheral vision. And then it’s there, and then it just bit me.’

The first that Skou knew was when he saw the bat land on his neck.

‘It was like a cold dog nose,’ said Skou. ‘It was a cold bat nose, mouth, whatever. It didn’t sting. I wasn’t injected with anything. It was just a cold bite.’

The bat tried to swoop down for two more passes before it was shot dead.

‘Whether we would get in trouble for shooting it, and I said well, it drew first blood. We need to take care of this thing,’ Skou said.

Luckily a pal took the bat out with a BB. Hospital testing revealed Rabies. Skou is on a medication and is healing from the attack.
