A North Dakota cemetery worker was left scratching his head when he stumbled upon a trio of turkeys eerily circling a gravestone. The creepy scene was reportedly filmed by Paul Eickhof at the Riverside Cemetery in the city of Fargo. In the cemetery worker's footage, featured above, the three turkeys can be seen continuously running around a memorial marker labeled 'Harris.' While it is uncertain how long their 'ritual' had been unfolding, one can surmise that it was quite a while based on the ring of exposed ground encircling the gravestone in the otherwise snow-covered cemetery.
As for the cause of the weird incident, which Eickhof rightly called "quite bizarre," wildlife experts say that the circling was actually typical behavior from turkeys as the not particularly intelligent animals often get trapped in a loop while examining suspected threats. A similarly strange piece of footage from Massachusetts made headlines back in 2017 when a motorist filmed the creatures eerily walking around a dead cat.
