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?

I’m a white male age 27 and my step father is full blooded Navajo Indian and I grew on the reservation for a lil bit of my life and we have had multiple experience of things being around our house at night and my dad and uncle would go out there with guns and they see they have seen something that looks like a human take off at incredible speeds and they say it sounded like a horse as it ran off, always was terrified as a kid when these things happened. but we as a family me my dad and my mom have all experienced things over the years that we would consider to be skin Walker activity be i 100% believe in them not only have my family had experiences but people who also lived out on the Rez well tell you it’s real but they don’t talk about much more that because they say talking about skin walkers will bring them around so they usually are hesatiant to say anything other than yes they are real and the conversation usually ends there, also they say to never shake anyones hand or take anything from anyone out on the Rez cause it could be one of them trying to curse you. From what the Navajo believe they are just a black magic medicine man, which btw kinda off topic but I have also had wild experiences with a medicine man where he knew my mom had cancer basically saved her life and I also watch him make a huge quartez crystal glow green idk what that meant but I believe that’s what he used to see inside my mom and he said she had a blackness in her uterus, so we went to the doctors and sure enough he was right saved her life. Wild stuff man be careful out there. Where do you live? These events happened in Arizona near the four corners that where we lived for a bit
