An Alabama resident and her son are outside on their property at night. They hear a clicking sound and then the flashlight beam is 'blocked' by an unseen figure or entity.
I received the following account:
"Hi. Lon. I live near Birmingham, Alabama. I have an outside entertainment system that I use a lot during the summer. It's a large projection screen and some outdoor furniture. We use a projector to watch movies late into the night during the summer.
My 16-year-old son and I were out there watching a movie one night. It was around 2 or 3 in the morning. Suddenly I hear a clicking noise. It sounds like electricity clicking on and off. It also sounded a bit like the snapping of a fire. I live on a farm with miles of acreage, so I started to get worried that a freak fire had started. I paused our movie and listened. My son quickly whispered, "I hear it too." I always bring a flashlight out there with us. I picked it up. It's a shop flashlight, so it's very bright. I shinned it out into the open field behind us. I couldn't see anything, but I could still hear the noise.
Suddenly I froze. I was shining the flashlight out onto the field, but I wasn't. Like the beam of light stopped maybe 10 feet away from me. It was like the light was reflecting back at me like it had hit something I couldn't see. I moved the flashlight to the side, and the beam spread out over the ground like it should have. My son, who is afraid of nothing, started to panic. And that scared me. I mean, this kid isn't afraid of anything. He loves True Crime/Missing People docs/horror movies etc, and never has nightmares because of them. He's never been afraid of the dark or anything like that. So the fact that he was scared meant there was something to be afraid of.
He suddenly says, "It's a Glimmer Man. Mom, we have to get out of here now." I had no idea what he was talking about. I'm into the supernatural, but I hadn't heard of that one. I escorted him back into the house and then went out to collect our projector and other items we left there. I couldn't leave that stuff out there. The noise had stopped by the time I got back out there, so I wasn't as afraid. Once I collected everything, I decided to take another look. I needed to make sure a fire hadn't started. I shined the flashlight around, and suddenly, the beam was blocked and then unblocked. It was like something had run through the beam of light. I was really scared by that point, so I ran into the house. Later I looked up accounts of the Glimmer Man, and it seems like what I "saw." M
