Meet The Mysterious "Opossum Lady" of YouTube

Georgette Spelvin remains a mystery since she operates under a pseudonym. What we do know is that this Southern California resident with Jackie Onassis' poise, has a multitude of opossums, a handful of squirrels and a killer sense of humor. Her YouTube channel has shared these kinds of surreal moments of excellence on a regular basis since 2010. But In the end, we only know what Georgette Spelvin wants us to know: that she is a very funny lady with a big heart when it comes to injured and in-need wildlife. The lesson she most often imparts in her videos is that "if you see an opossum or squirrel outside, leave it there," and if you see one that's injured or in danger, contact your nearest wildlife rescue.

    "I AM A DEAD SQUIRREL THAT KNOWS EVERYTHING," screams the homepage. Pearl can also be seen regularly, presented as a sort of religious deity, in the background of Georgette's videos.
