What Did We See During a Terrifying Night in the Woods?
This incident happened to me and a friend about two months ago. We often like to hang out late at night in his village, usually just relaxing, but this night took a different turn. We decided to walk to the local football field, which is surrounded by forest.
As we made our way into the woods, we started hearing whispers behind us. There was this strange feeling of being watched, but we shrugged it off. Once we reached the football field, we sat down on a bench about 150 meters away from the field. In front of us were bushes and small trees. The place was pitch dark, and it felt eerie. My friend reassured me that he had been here before and it was safe, so we tried to relax and continued talking.
About 10 minutes later, we heard a soft screech. We both went silent, staring at each other. A few seconds passed before another screech, much closer and louder, echoed through the air. At that moment, the motion detector 10 meters away flicked on, casting a dim light. I stood up, ready to run, but my friend, in typical fashion, called out, "Fuck off."
What followed was more screeching and movement behind the bushes. I was frozen with fear, but I could see something in the dim light—a pair of legs, dressed in dirty grey jeans and black boots. And there, on the side of one leg, was something that looked like a long knife. As soon as I saw it, I grabbed my friend, and we sprinted back to the village.
The next day, we returned to the spot, curious to see if we had just imagined things. But when we got there, two police cars were parked at the field. The officers told us to turn around and leave. We didn’t ask any questions, and we never found out what—or who—it was that we encountered that night.
Our Thoughts
This story plays on a common fear—being in a secluded, dark area and suddenly realizing you’re not alone. What makes this encounter so chilling is the gradual build-up of tension, from the whispers to the screeches, to the appearance of a mysterious figure armed with what looked like a knife.
The sudden appearance of the police the next day adds a layer of mystery. Were they there because of the same figure the narrator saw? Or was something else going on that night? Encounters like this leave more questions than answers, and the uncertainty of what might have happened adds to the overall creepiness of the experience.
Such stories often remind us of the fragility of our sense of security, especially in places we assume to be familiar and safe. Whether this was a near brush with danger or something more supernatural, the lasting impact on those who experienced it is undeniable.
