Mannequin winked at me

Share Your Story: What's the Weirdest Unexplained Thing You've Ever Seen?

What I saw

When I was shopping in Pennies I saw a male mannequin wink at me.

Where I saw it

In Anchorage, Alaska in the mid-1970s. I think I was about 17 at the time and I was riding down an escalator just taking in the panoramic view. I looked at this mannequin and he turned his head and winked at me then he smiled. I thought it was a joke of some sort, like a candid camera sort of prank, or maybe the store hired a mime to make things interesting for the customers. After I reached the lower floor I went up to the mannequin expecting to find a real person, but it was only a dummy! I stared at him for the longest time. I know what I saw, but how could that be?!
