A Finnish youth walks to a nearby woods to smoke a cigarette when they encounter a bizarrely shaped human-like quadruped that slowly exits the woods and crosses the road.
I received the following account:
"This happened when I lived in a children's home in a more remote part of the town in Finland. It was at the start of winter, around the end of December 2017. The house is located in the woods but has many houses close to each other. I had to walk to a side road in the woods to smoke my cigarette since it wasn't allowed to smoke on the property. It was already dark, but the road was dimly lit by the lights of one of the houses. This is the part I always felt uneasy walking. I was almost back at the house when I started feeling really uneasy again, but this time it was intense, I felt something watching me.
I heard a branch break and some leaves crunching and saw this bizarre-looking 'thing' walking from the woods, over the road, and back to the woods on the other side. It was pale/greyish, on all fours, but the legs were weird, like humanoid but at the same time the knees bent like a dog. The front legs were mostly the same but not so bent. The body was slim and the back was kinda arched, like upwards? The head/face is so hard to describe, it was kinda of humanoid too, but had no human features or ears. I focused mainly on the legs because they looked so wrong.
It didn't make any sounds or didn't smell like anything. I was close enough to see details but not close enough to smell if it smelled like anything closer. I stood there, my heart was pounding and I wanted to scream and run home but I couldn't because the thing was on the way. It was slow too, like the average human speed when walking.
After it was gone I ran back home and told a friend who told me he always felt uneasy there. What could it be? I really want some answers. I tried to draw it, the legs were slimmer." DK
NOTE: Most likely, this quadruped human-like creature was a pale crawler. I have had a few reports from Scandinavia in the past, but it is rare. Lon
