How on earth can a woman not only go into labor, but deliver without knowing? How? And how on earth could it happen while she’s using the loo…  on a train… in India… where the loo empties directly onto the tracks…

Who would believe it?

What anecdotes have you heard that seem too far out there to be real… but are?
