Fake Barn County

You are driving your car through a rural area known as Fake Barn County. As you look out the window, you see a red barn in the field and immediately form the belief, 'There is a barn.' You are looking right at it, so you haven't relied on any deductive false premises; you just used your direct vision. The structure you are looking at is, in fact, a real, functioning barn. However, you are completely unaware that the eccentric locals have constructed dozens of incredibly realistic papier-mâché fake barns all along the highway to trick tourists. By pure chance, you happened to look out the window at the only real barn in the entire county.
