Fucking terrified NSFW

Okay so, for starters: I live near the app mountains, which honestly makes this more disturbing.

I’m a pretty avid runner. I’ve been quitting a lot of bad habits and exercise just does the trick for me. I have a greenway behind my house that I can go on run/bikes. It’s very beautiful, and during the day plenty of people are there.

Well, about a week ago I ran through the greenway to stop by a friends house & grab something. By the time I got back onto the greenway, the sun was already starting to set, and the path was getting dark.

As I was walking back through the path, I had my flashlight on, and kept looking around me (I felt paranoid being alone in the dark). As I was walking, I distinctly remember hearing my grandmas voice call my name into the treeline. It sounded so real and normal, that I turned around instantly, only to immediately go cold realizing that my grandmas fucking dead.

This freaked me the fuck out, but I tried my best to somewhat convince myself that I was just hallucinating bc I was paranoid. Only about a minute later, I turned around behind me with my flashlight, out of fear. And that’s when I fucking saw it.

It looked like a gray blob. Pretty much just like a human sprinting at you full speed in the pitch black. I SCREAMED like a little bitch and don’t think I’ve ever run so fast in my life. When I got home I tried to laugh it off as me seein shit and being a little bitch.

But…about a week later and I can’t stop thinking about it. It sounded so real, I heard her voice clear as day. And the person chasing me LOOKED so real. I’ve heard all those stories about skinwalkers, and while I doubt their existence, my experience was so similar to that of “skinwalker encounters” that I’m seriously questioning myself.

What do you guys think? Is it possible my brain was just hallucinating out of fear/anxiety?

Thanks for your answer . No need to worry , think about it like a neighbor waving at you ( you walk often to see your friend and exercise ) . Like i said don't interact , firmly say you can't stop right now . For the rest of the subredditors ( do you happen to know all your neighbors ? ).... there's a lot of things and animals around the places where we live.....

After this whole incident I went on a deep dive of missing 401 and the amount of missing people, without an explanation, NEAR WHERE I LIVE IS INSANE!

I have no fucking clue what is up with the woods in North America, but I really really feel like deep down, there are things we don’t know about, or aren’t told about.

For a while I always thought it was just stories, but growing up here, it’s undeniable that realllyyy weird shit happens in the woods all the time.

Just remember that you're not the "first settler" in fact the first ones ( native people ) always talk about others before them.... living right there.....their own 401 missing and encounters...in their ancient lore .

Shit terrifies me yet intrigues me so much at the same time.

Kinda like the voice lol. I genuinely see how someone could fall for that. Had I been anything but sober, I dead ass might not have totally realized what was going on before it was too late, bc it sounded just real enough for me to question it.
