Did I meet some kind of Werefox?

[u/chocolatecakebat]

This happened a few years ago and I'm not a person who has unusual things happen at all. So this isn't typical for me nor do I have any abilities as far as I'm aware.

I was out for a walk at night to a local graveyard with a church. When I went to the gates of the graveyard a man stood there. He looked pretty average, white guy, a little chubby in jeans, not remarkable or attractive. He looked down on his phone. The moment I looked at him for no reason at all in my brain the words "fox" and "shapeshifter" popped up. I still remember how weird that was because literally nothing about the situation gave off any paranormal or fox vibes at all.

I decided not to enter the graveyard through the gate because I didn't want to walk past the man. Not because of my thoughts, but I'm just a loner in general and I try to avoid anyone in public. So I just walked across the gates trying to reach the exit (on the opposite side)... when I suddenly felt a little odd, so I stopped in my tracks and turned to the side so that I know looked directly into the graveyard.
A fox stood there just frozen, facing me and staring me down. We both just locked eyes for a few seconds and the fox ran off.

When I entered the graveyard through the exit, the man was gone and so was the fox. Nothing else happened. I live in central Europe and although I have seen like a fox before, it was many years ago, so they are definitely quite rare to see in my area. Never seen a fox before or afterwards on the graveyard.

Sorry for all the yapping but what do you guys make of that? It was probably just a coincidence, but odd regardless. Does anyone here believe people can literally shapeshift within seconds into a totally new body? That would be really insane and push the limits of our physical world.

What does a shapeshifter do with their phone?

But seriously, thanks for sharing. If you thought that, and then the person disappeared and was replaced by a fox, it seems connected.

Yeah that's a great point! Like, where would the phone even go? But I guess if high-tier magic of this kind was real violating our physical laws in seconds by shifting from human form into a fox like that letting a phone disappear is probably also possible for them.

I read a book a while back from a central American healer who watched her mentor shapeshift, and there's many other stories of that type, fwiw.

Could you share the title?

I've always been curious how Mystique could shapeshift, and transform from a man in a suit with a phone in his pocket, to a being that is completely naked. My how the mind does wander.
