March 8, 2022
What would you do if a tiny hand reached out of your light fixture? Yesenia Irizarry had just moved in with some friends in Brooklyn, New York, when she realized they had an unwanted visitor making itself at home. The college student heard scratching in the ceiling, trying to claw its way in. Then, a small five-fingered hand appeared, poking out of the light fixture. It was a raccoon! Animal control, which caught it in the crawl space above the light, said the animal may have had rabies.
