2 cousins are outside playing on a trampoline when they both observe a shimmering, transparent humanoid moving through the woods near the house. Was it a 'Glimmer Man?'
I received the following account:
"This happened about 15 years ago in central Arkansas. For those unfamiliar with the general layout, there is Little Rock, and then a lot of trees surrounding various cities outside of it. My cousin lived in a log house located in one of those areas, aka the middle of the woods. He was around 11 and I was around 13.
We were alone at his house and jumping on his trampoline while talking and playing when I had this really weird feeling I was being watched. It wasn’t a completely uncommon feeling, but I always stopped what I was doing and looked around when it would happen.
The first thing I noticed was my cousin’s face. He had stopped jumping and was blankly staring into the woods with his mouth open. I quickly looked in the same direction and saw an outline of something moving slowly through the woods. When I say outline, I mean it literally. It was invisible. Like a shimmer slowly moving through the trees with a very clear humanoid outline.
I slowly nudged him to the edge of the trampoline without taking my eyes off it before we both jumped and took off to the house. We locked every door and window before talking about it. When I asked him what he saw, he said it looked like a person but he could see through them.
We called his mom, and she had a police officer show up and scan the surrounding area thinking it was just a hunter in their woods or something. They didn’t find anybody and chalked it up to kids getting spooked by a noise in the woods. I still have no idea what that thing was, but we still talk about it after a few drinks." C
