How spooked would you be?!!!A hotel receptionist was shocked when she felt a vibration in her underwear and realised a bat was hiding in her bra. He does look cute though, but I would be shocked to find him in my bra!!
Abbie Hawkins told the Eastern Daily Press she had felt something moving inside her clothes, but assumed it was her mobile phone.
Hours later, she discovered a furry stowaway had been keeping her company since she got dressed that morning."Once I realised it was a bat I was shocked, but then I felt quite sorry for it really," the 19-year-old told the newspaper. It looked very snug in there and I thought how mean I was for disturbing it. I did not notice anything as I put my bra on. The bra was in my drawer but it had been on the washing line the day before.
Around noon during her shift at a Holiday Inn near Norwich International Airport she "plucked up the courage to investigate"."I just lost my breath when I saw it and I did not know what it was at first," she said.
The creature took flight when her colleagues crowded round to have a look at it and flew off into a dark corner of the office before being captured and released outside.
"I will certainly be checking my bras every morning from now on!" Miss Hawkins said.

She had hung the nra out on the line and it was left out over night, when she brought it in she didnt realise the bat was there, until she put it on and feel abit of discomfort. Only at dinnertime did she investigate!!!

My mom had a bat stuck in the window one day. They got it out and let it outside. Only to find it the next day flying circles in my sisters bedroom above her head. It came in through a small space between the door and the floor. My sister lost her mind and started screaming. She had my little guy in her room with her who spotted it flying around the ceiling and he was asking what's that, when she looked up and seen the bat she started screaming. lol. They are sneaky little creatures. I would have probably started screaming too!

That's adorable! Must have been a baby bat
to fit into such a tiny space as a bra.
I can just imagine how loudly I would have
screamed upon finding a traveler in my own
underwear! Yeesh! I would not have been a happy
girl!

ok, now how do you not feel that your bra has a little extra weight to it when you pick it up? and even when she put it on you telling me that she didnt feel that in her bra? She thought it was her cell phone, how absent minded do you have to be to not remember if you put your cellphone in your bra.

Its amazing how she didnt notice that she was abit bumpy on one side. Surely she didnt have her phone in her pocket all morning since she works in a hotel!!
The mind does boggle!!!

that is really weird. I do not understand how you would not notice a bat in your bra. It kind of seems made up. if i did take my bra off though and saw something alive in it i would freak out though!

I heard a similar story about a woman who went into her bedroom and found a bat lounging on her freshly made bed. She was so shocked that she let out a scream and, in turn, the bat screamed as well. She ran out of the room and closed the door behind her and called an exterminator. However, whent he exterminator finally showed up and went to investigate, the bat had disappeared and was nowhere to be found.

It's not cute for me, just scaring... These kind of animals, I'm sure that they have a lot of bacteria. I think it's better for the woman to wash her bra first.
How can these kind of features can hide in the bra and then I'm sure you will take a look at your clothes before wearing it right?
This kind of incidednt reall seems impossible, but actually all things are possible in the world.

Ah, what an amazing story! It made me laugh and I think it's quite sweet. I love bats (although I wouldn't like one in my bra, lol!), but it was obviously quite nice and snug in there and probably thought it had found a good home for a while. I'm glad that the lady was also concerned about him, it must have been such a big shock at first! 
. Thanks for telling us about it!!

that is really scary... i will be shouting at the top of my voice if that happens to me... anyway, i am a very sensitive person and i will definitely feel it straight away if there is something hiding inside my clothes straight away... i bet she will be checking her bra from now on before she put it on... take care and have a nice day...

Now this is funny! I mean how could you miss something like bat in your bra? How small was the bat anyway? If it was a small bug or something even smaller, it would be easy to miss but a bat... I don't know. It's just of wierd. LOL

Well you have to be careful of hanging your close out on the line. That is something a bat got comfortable in the bra. That's nice it didn't feel threaten or anything and that's a plus. At least she didn't panic and kill the bat. At least it was set free back into the wild. At least now she knows that there are bats that live in her neighborhood.

That would be a shock. I think I would faint. I would definitely scream. I hate things that are from outdoors in my house it would be alot worse if they were in my clothing.
I think anything in your clothes would be way nasty, especially a bat.

I'm having a hard time believing this one. In fact, I don't. Couldn't this girl come up with something more believable for her 15 minutes of fame?

Oh my. Haha. Well, at least it was in her bra and not in her underwear. Now that would've been a bit more uncomfortable. Haha.
