Very strange....
Yesterday, early morning in the frozen dark, I was driving on an icy country road. It was much icier and challenging to drive than I'd expected, and my senses/reactions were working overtime.
As I turned slightly to the right, on the roadside standing facing me (and apparently following my movement) was this small...upright....furry...two-legged....totally-disconcerting: small thing. Standing watching me going past.
My first impression was of it (somehow?) being the animated back half of a massive rabbit or hare- but very long-legged, forming a shape like a capital 'A' . And I was very struck by the impression that this whateveritwas seemed to be watching me with utter controlled confidence and/or disdain (I can't explain this aspect fully: but I cannot shake the feeling off).
I was totally-unable to brake or stop (or I would've crashed, without a doubt)- had it been summer I would've done a full emergency stop. I'll estimate maybe around 0.5m in height.
There was no discernable head, from the body, and no perceptable eyes. It definitely had fur/hair, which was paler towards the...'apex' of its outline.
I'm not at all sure of what I saw...I presume it was some kind of visual illusion. Except: it really gave me the weirdest feeling. The movement of it (actual, or impression thereof) was totally-purposeful. Not so much menacing...but somehow insolent?
Very shaken by it. Just makes zero sense.
EDIT1 Not only did it appear to track my driven movement, it seemed to move up & down, a tiny amount. And not affected by my headlights in the least
EDIT2 I wonder if somehow the movement I perceived was similar to this amazing....concavic pseudokineticity effect?
(A small manipulated animal corpse malevolently displayed by a hunter, as a trophy? I am just struggling to find a rational explanation- hence my reductionist propositions)
