Zhang, 28, of Wuchang, eastern China's Hubei province, says the weasel continuously leaves dead mice in his home and poos on his table. He says it all started when he was awoken one night by weasels in his home, reports the Wuhan Evening Post.

"They had eaten most of the meat I had hung on the wall so I took a stick to beat them. The female was caught in a mouse trap, while the male escaped up the chimney." Zhang's wife released the female in the mountains the following morning and it was never seen again.

"What I didn't expect is that from the very next night, the escaped male weasel came back to harass us," added Zhang. "It excretes on tables, and even throws dead mice corpses into our home. The scariest thing was when it jumped onto our bed, screaming. It seems to be protesting at me for catching his wife."

I wholeheartedly admit that this story is here purely because my eye was caught by the phrase "vengeful weasel"!
