Oddly, the Dibnah near-death experience I most remember giving me the willies was when he dropped his cap in a puddle just after scratching his bonce. Having wrung his cap out he put it straight back on. The water had a dead pigeon in it though and so he ended up catching a virus which started spreading through his head via the cap and the cut. It got quite serious out of nowhere.

How do you not notice a dead pigeon in your cap?

Here’s the tale, told by the man himself:
