In India, there is a temple called Karni Mata that is inhabited by 20,000 rats the locals believe are their reincarnated ancestors.
You have to remove your shoes before entering to keep the temple clean..for the rats.
5 of the estimated 20k rats are albino and they are considered extra super sacred.
If the White rat is spotted, visitors fall to the ground, bowing and praying to the White rat because they believe it can grant wishes.
Yes, seriously. Yes this is all true, every last word of it.
