Well....I have had a lot of stressful things go on in the last couple of months, but I felt calm and was enjoying the walk with the dogs.
I saw something that looked like a ' light' moving about, that's what drew my attention. Then I saw the figure, and just stood, staring for about a minute. My 9 year old son was stood a few metres away and I couldn't even call him back for a while. I tried to then I thought- " what is that? Who is that?" Initially I thought someone was playing with some sort of light or fancy phone light! Then I noticed it looked like it was behind black material, then I saw the figure. It was like 'it' or 'he' was looking at us...
When I called my son over to me, he seemed glued to the spot for a while, and said "wait a minute"... When he came over I said "is there someone there?" to him, and he said "It looks like the slender man"...!! He had only heard of that because someone had shown him that on youtube. As far as I know, that is a made up story to freak kids out?? I don't know if he was even looking at the same thing as me.
But I was so blown out by it that I had to walk over and have a closer look! ( I'm brave like that/ stupid!)
Now someone else has said it sounds like the slender man!!!! eeeeeeeek!
Intriguing......
UOTE="Ulalume, post: 1550472, member: 48913"]Yes, I've seen something similar. Judging by the surroundings, it was about 8 feet tall, a black, hooded grim reaper type figure. It was faceless, as far as I could see. Naturally, I assumed I was seeing things, and that it would disappear if I blinked, but it didn't. I watched it for about a minute, wondering what the heck was going on. Eventually I turned away. When I looked back, it was gone.
I was undergoing a lot of stress and depression at that time in my life, so I don't discount the possibility, even probability, that it was a stress-induced hallucination. Certainly no one else saw it (people were walking right by it, but appeared to see nothing) it couldn't have been a trick of the light - it was in an area lit by bright fluorescents. (This happened in my workplace at the time.)
Because sightings of such figures are supposed to foretell doom, I superstitiously worried what it meant for the future. However, nothing especially bad happened, at least nothing of which the seeds hadn't been sown long before. No one I knew died, or had anything terrible happen to them either, not for a long time.
Nemesis, I can't say what you saw, though of course the first thing to consider is that dusk is the most likely time for your eyes to play tricks. Maybe you could tell us what led up to seeing the figure, and what your feelings or thoughts were when looking at it. For instance, when I saw the figure - scary as it might sound - I wasn't frightened at all. I only wondered what on earth such a thing was doing standing in the rug department of our store!
