I know this sounds like its made up but i swear it is not a hallucination. but the more days pass the less real it feels. so it might be a hallucination but i dont even know at this point. so my day started off fine, and everything was fine until evening. i had dinner quite late, it was leftover pasta my mum made earlier. my Mum cooks in big batches even though there are only three of us at home most nights. My dad was working late, because he does shift work so sometimes he’s there and sometimes he isnt. my younger sister was already asleep when this happened, i think she had school the next day so she went to bed early, i remember that because i had to keep the hallway light off so i didnt wake her up when i went past her room. after dinner i just watched stuff on my phone for a while. When i got bored of that and went to get a snack it was nearly eleven oclock. the house was so quiet that the fridge even sounded really loud. Anyway I have a cat right, he mostly sleeps inside or just wanders around the house at night. he’s not mean, but he hisses if something scares him. so i was in my room when i heard him hissing outside near the back door and makig this weird low yowling noise like he does when another cat is in our yard. anyway i got up and went out the back to see what was his problem was. i had bare feet so my feet got frozen as soon as i stood on the cold grass. I saw my cat near the edge of the yard by the fence with his tail puffed out, making loud hisses and backing up slowly. That was when i saw the black shape against the fence on the other side of the yard. it was dark so at first i geniunely thought it was just a tree trunk i magically hadnt seen before or maybe a rubbish bag someone had left up against the fence. but it was too big to be a rubbish bag. then it moved, like it adjusted its weight or posture. when it moved i noticed it was very tall. taller than the fence by a lot. It was some kind of person but the shoulders were wide, way too wide compared to the rest of it, they didnt match the proportions of a human body at all. it had a head but I think the head was very small. the arms hung down too far and the fingers were completely stretched out, not curled in a normal way. next i saw its eyes open. They were bright orange and glowing, not glowing like a reflection or light bouncing off something, actually glowing. they had no pupils, they were just two bright circles pointed right at me. My cat saw the eyes open too because i remember he bolted under the house deck area and disappeared. i remember thinking i should probably go back inside right then, but i didnt for some reason. i kind of froze. then the thing shut its eyes again, not like blinking, they just disappeared like someone turned them off completely. and the second that happened, I couldn't see it anymore, not even its outline. It just stopped being visible. the space where it was looked normal again, like nothing had been there. i stepped back toward the house a bit, trying to see it again, and i remember i thought maybe i had imagined the whole thing because it was so dark and i was quite tired at that point. Then i noticed something near the fence line again. the fence there didn’t look right. it looked blacker, like it had been covered with ink. Then the blacker patch moved. it didnt walk or step, it just slid through the shadows along the fence and onto the grass. When it opened its eyes again, they were further to the left of where i expected. i went back into the house at that point, and I closed the door very quietly, i remember that clearly. i closed it slowly and locked it. My hands were shaking a bit at that point. When i got inside, I just stood in the kitchen for a while. the left over pasta was still on the stove in the pot because i hadnt cleaned it yet, it looked very normal. i decided i didnt want to look out of the window, i wanted to pretend that nothing had happened, and if i looked out and it was there then everything would become ten times more real. eventually i looked out the back window anyway and sure enough the thing was still outside. it started doing the same disappearing and appearing thing again. sometimes i’d catch the orange eyes briefly and then theyd vanish the second i looked right at them. after a minute of this it started showing up closer to the windows of the house. first it was the kitchen window. i caught it looking in, and when I turned to look right at it, the eyes appeared for a second and then shut instantly and disappeared. then it was the side window near the living room. i checked on my sister once just to make sure she was still alive. she was asleep. I didnt wake her up. i was pretty sure she was safe as long as the thing didnt get in the house. my dad still wasnt home by then, and he did not answer his phone when i tried to call him. the cat was still gone somewhere under the house or outside. the thing outside didn’t try to come in through the door or anything like that. It just kept looking in the windows, jumping from one side of the house to the other. at one point i saw it near the hallway mirror, not inside the house but in the reflection. you could only see the eyes, and they looked a bit like they were infront of the mirror. i blinked and it was gone. a strange thing is how it never actually touched the windows at all it only stared in. Eventually it stopped showing up at the windows as much and went back to the edge of the yard. i could still see the shadow distortion moving sometimes, like it was waiting for me to come out. The last time i saw the thing clearly was near the fence at the end of the driveway. the eyes appeared for a second and then shut. after that i couldnt see it anywhere. i stayed awake for a long time after that just checking the windows and listening, because ther was no way something like that would just leave. I was convinced it had just made itself fully invisible and was waiting for me to open the door. But eventually my dad came home and everything was normal again, and that was good, but also terrible because nobody believed me when i told them what had happened. I was pissed at myself for not thinking to take any photos of it. Thats everything that happened, if you believe it then good, if you dont believe it i dont care, because i know what i saw.

In 2003, while I was on night guard duty at a Military Prosecutor's Office in the Primorsky region (near Lake Khanka, Russia), I witnessed a creature that defies explanation.

The Context:
I was looking out the window at a lit-up area. My fellow soldier was resting nearby; he didn't see the entity itself, but he saw me freeze in shock as I watched it move.

The Entity:

• Appearance: It was about 40 cm tall (1.3 feet). The body was transparent, like moving water or a pocket of refractive air. However, the silhouette was filled with autumn leaves. It looked like a 3D figure made of leaves, but you could see right through it.
• No Shedding: The leaves didn't fall off. They were part of the entity's "structure" or its active camouflage, not just debris stuck to it.
• Movement: It was bipedal (ran on two legs). It ran along a concrete path next to a small metal fence of the same height. It followed the fence line, turned left, and disappeared into the dark.
• Sound: This is the most important part—it had physical mass. I heard the distinct, heavy sound of footsteps on the concrete, rhythmically bipedal, similar to the weight of a medium-sized dog.

The Drawing:
I have attached a drawing of what I saw. The font and style are meant to reflect the "report" nature of the event.

It wasn't a hallucination or a trick of the light because it reacted to the physical environment (following the fence) and made clear, heavy sounds on the pavement.

Has anyone encountered a small, transparent bipedal entity that carries the texture of its environment? Could this be a specific type of elemental or a "cloaked" cryptid?

I spotted it/the object while it was still in the shadows as it approached. It felt weird right away—just a split second later, and it runs out into the lamplight. Then this even weirder crap comes into focus. It was maybe 3 meters away. I’m trying to make out a face, but I don't see one; just leaves, and the whole thing is rectangular. No head, basically. Its torso was swaying from side to side, and it was running like a dog, but on two legs. I clearly heard its feet hitting the concrete.

It runs past the window while I'm sitting at my desk; right in my field of vision, there’s a window facing the street toward the entrance and the barrier gate. Parallel to that, there’s a low metal fence, like the kind you see around gardens. It’s running, reaches the fence, and continues alongside it. I’m staring at it, completely frozen and shell-shocked. It runs along the fence, which then curves toward the exit barrier; it turns with it and vanishes into the darkness. That area wasn't lit. The only light came from the lamp above the building entrance."

This was around 7 years ago, and ever since I’ve been so scared to walk alone at night.

So me and 2 friends were on top of this big hill overlooking our town, you could see the river severn and wales, also everything around our town.

We were smoking weed, playing rap instrumentals and having rap battles and just chilling and having fun. We decided to walk home. At the bottom of the hill you could walk the road way or go through 3 massive fields to get to mine. They went the road way and I was so paranoid about getting stopped by police I went the fields way, big mistake.

When you first walk through the first gate there’s a small forest that you have to walk through to get to the gate that leads into the first field. I wasn’t scared at all, I just wanted to get home and was in a really good mood. Halfway through the woods I felt this feeling, this feeling of feeling really really uneasy, like something was wrong, that something didn’t want me in the woods, I ignored it and kept walking normally. I got to the gate and opened it, and shut it and walked a few steps in the field and looked behind me, didn’t see anything at all but could sense something. I kept walking for another 5 mins and I got home and went straight to my room and was wondering what had happened, never felt like that before. I had a weird feeling to look out my window overlooking my back garden as it was attached to the last field I had walked through to get home separated by a wooden fence.

I looked for a few seconds and couldn’t see anything but then what I saw I will never ever forget, there was this big dog thing which looked all crooked and weird. I’d say looked like a dog that had been ran over and bones broken in weird places. It was slowly walking around the cars on the drive when all of a sudden it snapped its neck in my direction and stared straight at me, I froze with sudden fear knowing whatever it was had spotted me and knew I was looking at it. It slowly moved backwards and all of a sudden the next door neighbours motion sensor came on and the neighbour came out to let its dog out for a wee, when I looked back in the direction of the dog thing, it had vanished.

I have no idea what it could be, but it followed me from those woods to my house. I never walked that way home and never went to that smoking spot ever again.

Anyone else ever had anything like this before?

I’m a pretty avid hiker and have never encountered anything like this before. I’ve seen plenty of bears, birds, snakes, etc., but this was different. I was visiting a Florida state park called Hontoon Island State Park, and you have to take a ferry over to it. There’s a walking trail called the Wet Trail that runs along the river. If you’re planning on going, fair warning about a mile in we found 17 rattlesnakes, so be ready for that if snakes aren’t your thing. At the end of the trail, they have a Native American shell mound. My buddy and I got to the top of this roughly 30 ft mound and were looking out over the river when I turned around and saw a face staring at me from behind a log. The features were human, but not fully detailed. The lips and skin were gray, and it had these yellow eyes. Not glowing, just yellow. It looked like it was hiding there watching us, and then it just went poof, gone in a blink. It scared the absolute dog shiz out of me, and I’ve been searching around the internet looking for similar encounters. Before I even saw it, my buddy said he felt like something in the woods was watching us. It was probably one of the most horrifying moments of my life. The way it looked at us felt like we were prey.

This is not a joke or a fictional story we are genuinely trying to understand what happened.

My friend reported seeing something in a forest near a road and a cemetery at around 3:20 AM. The road runs directly into the forest. He was together with another friend at the time, and both of them reported seeing the same thing.

They described a humanoid figure approximately 170 cm tall, entirely white in appearance (the whole body appeared white). The conditions were such that the figure could be seen clearly enough to make out its general shape. The distance was around 4–5 meters, and the figure was slowly moving and appeared to be coming closer.

According to their description, the figure had no distinguishable facial features. They also mentioned a faint glow or soft light around it, described as a kind of natural aura rather than a direct light source.

The figure did not interact directly, and there was no physical contact or sound associated with it.

I was not present during the sighting, but I am trying to help them understand what it could have been.

There is also some local context: there is a reported case of suicide in the forest, and an old cross is located there.

There is also an additional unverified report from a taxi driver who was driving with my friend. During the ride, the driver mentioned seeing something similar in roughly the same area, near the same road leading into the forest. This is not confirmed, but the description was reportedly similar.

We are not claiming anything supernatural. We are simply trying to find possible explanations or known phenomena that could match this description.

Any serious input would be appreciated.

Also, would it be a good idea to investigate the area ourselves to better understand what might have caused this, or would that be unsafe or not recommended?

Edit:

It didn’t look like any known creature or alien. It was perceived more like a ghost or soul-like presence at the time.
