An Adirondack Mountains resident describes their encounter with a 'Glimmer Man' while sitting in the backyard and watching their kids in the pool. The witness is shocked by the sighting.
"I wanted to share my account regarding a 'Predator-like' being. It was sometime around 2006 or 2007 and my kids and my friends were having a campfire in the yard right outside our home. We live outside of our town and have wooded areas all around us, on the edge of the Adirondack Mountains in New York. Off the deck of the house was a fire ring with a small above-ground pool. Next to that, our property is lined with white pine trees which are quite big and very branchy. The woods behind the pool go back quite a ways and the pine trees are continuous to the woods.
I had just brought out marshmallows for the fire and sat in a chair with my back to the side of the property with the trees leading to the woods. To my right, it was light out and I sat listening to the chatter from the kids while gazing into the woods trying to relax. There was no wind or breeze and it was a very quiet night.
I noticed a movement in the trees to my right, up in the branches that were just behind the pool. I stared at the area because I saw something move but nothing was there. As I stared I started to see some kind of movement but it was like the branches and pine needles moved instead of an animal or being which didn't make sense. I watched for about a minute when the movement leaped, for lack of a better word, to the next tree that was closer to us. There was no noise and no swaying of branches like one would expect if there was weight on the tree.
As I watched I noticed that I was seeing pixels, like in a digital picture, moving. I made out the shape of something that had arms and legs and a head but not quite human-like. This shape was hunched down on the branch with one arm holding the tree trunk. The legs bent like it was squatting and it felt like we were being watched even though I could see no face or any other description. It was just pixelated movements in the shape of a being. It had moved closer to us and was in the tree on our side of the pool now.
When I realized how close it was I told the kids it was time to go inside. They fussed a bit but I insisted they go inside. Right then my son saw me looking up in the trees and asked what I was looking at and, of course, told him that it was nothing. I did not take my eyes off the shape and as soon as the kids got out and moved up and moved toward the deck to go inside, the shape moved from the branch. It was moving back to the tree where I first noticed it. The movement was so fast, so effortless, and so silent that I got scared. Then it vanished into the woods, moving from tree limb to tree limb, and was gone in a matter of seconds. Nothing. I know of no creature that can move like that and I know of nothing that fits that description.
I've never seen it again and we still live in the same house. We all have eerie feelings about the woods behind the house and that feeling remains with us to this day. Anytime we walk through the wooded area we have sections of the woods that we do not venture into for no apparent reason except for that uneasy feeling we all get."
