When I was about twelve I was celebrating 4th of July at home with my family. It was maybe 11:00 pm and my family was in the back yard, wrapping up their celebration. I was sitting alone in the foyer, just looking out the window. I turn my head away for a second and when I look back, I see the silhouette of something walking up the road, towards my house, silently. It looked like a person, but the proportions were just wrong. It had long lanky legs that bent in ways they shouldn’t have. Its arms dangled down below its knees and its neck was nearly nonexistent, with a fat doughy head on top. I was never a kid who would get nervous about strangers, but for some reason just the sight of this thing washed a wave of terror over me. I just dropped like a sack of potatoes on the floor. I couldn’t move, nor did I want to. I just laid there for what felt like hours, but in reality it had only been maybe 3 minutes. When I looked up the figure was gone. I never knew what I saw that night, nor did I tell anyone, but I get sweaty hands whenever I think about it. Any idea what it could possibly be? I’m out of ideas.
