Not really a crazy story, but:

I am exceptionally good at chess, and have zero recollection of ever having learned how to play it. No memory whatsoever of who taught me, or ever learning what the individual pieces do- let alone strategy.

And I don’t drink and don’t do drugs, so it couldn’t have happened during the blurry years many have.

A few of my friends refuse to believe that a mutual friend who was my neighbour at uni was and is black and had family members visit from Jamaica. He was very white passing though.

People don't believe that I chased after people in the desert.

I rolled a Hummer on a high-speed pursuit in the Chocolate Mountains on the Mexico/US border and was ejected. I got amnesia from the impact, but besides that and some scrapes, I was fine.
