Who was the crazy person in your neighbourhood growing up?

Well, I had the evil woman to one side of the house that once organized a street meeting to confront my mother about our cats wandering about, when my dad found out he went berserk and when the woman's son slammed the door on him he nearly went through it. Then the woman on the other side was the gossip type, she'd go on and on and on and on and on and on about other people's lives to you. I'd often have to sneak down the path to avoid running into her, she told the people down the road that my father beat my mother till she lost the baby. I mean sure, my father did beat my mother, he beat us all, but that's not why she lost the baby, my mother just had problems when she was pregnant.
