No, you are not crazy.  The black squirrel that you saw was probably a color
variation of the species of squirrel known as the "grey" squirrel.  They are
common in certain locations, like nothern and western Wisconsin where I grew up.
There are other variations in the color of this species also, like cinnamon.
All the color variations of this species are about the same size and shape.
The smaller red squirrel is a different species.
