The shadow was dark and ill-defined, despite the surrounding area being relatively in focus. Looked to be about 4-5 feet tall, roundish. Roughly human-shaped, but not quite right.
I received the following account:
"I have been working in the woods for a living here in the western US lately as a fire lookout in a remote location. I’m talking a 3-mile hike to a mostly abandoned dirt road, and another hour's drive before you even hit the pavement. This was last summer.
It was around 11pm on a moonless night. Pitch black outside and the lights of the town 30 miles away have mostly dimmed. It was a relatively calm night, with very little wind. The tower sits atop a more or less bald spot atop a lower peak in the middle of a burn scar. There’s not much within the immediate area besides some long grass and a smattering of younger fir trees.
At around 11pm, I’m sitting under the glow of a propane light out on the porch, finishing a book. I suddenly heard a rustling coming down the hill to the south, about 20 degrees to the right, where there’s less to see. It was just barely audible and sounded like it was approximately 300 feet away. It was very sudden and sent a shiver up my spine. I went back inside and grabbed my flashlight to have a look around from the catwalk. Nothing at all out there in that direction that I could immediately detect.
And then I saw it.
Well, saw something. To this day I’m still not certain what it was, but what I do know is that it wasn’t a trick of the light or of my eyes. I looked at that exact spot the next few nights and never saw it again. I know my home like the back of my hand. Every tree. Every shrub.
Out in the distance, next to a lone boundary tree, was a vague shape. Dark and ill-defined, despite the surrounding area being relatively in focus. Looked to be about 4-5 feet tall, roundish. Definitely wider than the tree. Roughly human-shaped, but not quite right. Like it was some memory of what a human looks like from someone who hasn’t seen another in a long time. Hunched. I watched it for what felt like forever. It didn’t move. Not initially. After a bit, it shifted slowly to my right, behind the tree.
And then it was gone. And I never saw it again. I would’ve been able to see it behind the skinny tree, and if it went down the hill or side hill. As I said, this relatively small snag was on its own, on a relatively gentle downslope.
Now, this is an area with a lot of animals. Mostly whitetail deer and wild cows. We have some black bears, some elk, some cougars, and some wolves, but they don’t tend to let themselves be seen. And they tend to skitter off when they learn they’re being observed. I’ve seen the predators before, but never that close to my tower. The whitetails and elk come up, but there’s little in terms of food, and people are known to come here.
We also have visitors and hunters, but my location in particular is only really known to locals and doesn’t exist on public maps. The “official” start of the extremely overgrown, hard-to-follow, and obviously abandoned trail is about 2 miles after a locked and unmarked gate. Hunters don’t tend to come up because the animals don’t tend to come close. Poachers wouldn’t because they’re aware we report to law enforcement.
It still freaks me out a little to this day. I hope it was just a person or an animal in some weird circumstance. I don’t feel too comfortable sitting outside after dark anymore." D
