When I was little, I was told constantly by my Grandpa that Alabama had purple hoop snakes. To move they had to hold onto their tail with their mouth and become a hoola hoop. From here, they would roll down hills.
I stronly believed him for years. Arguing with anyone who told me they didn't exsist. I later found out in grade 6 that they weren't real. :D
