That sounded about right.
Then again, anyone hearing such a crazed explanation without being shown solid evidence would probably have trouble believing the specifics.
After all, quite a few of the events involved had been outrageous enough that even the people who'd witnessed them with their own two eyes still occasionally wondered whether they'd hallucinated the whole thing!
