Okay, I don’t really know how to start this, or if anyone’s ever going to see it. I’ve never blogged before, but something happened last week that I just can’t shake. Maybe writing it down will help me figure out if I’m going crazy or if… I don’t know. Maybe someone out there has felt the same?

It started on Monday. I was leaving work, and it was one of those long days where your brain’s on autopilot. I was heading to my car, parked in the usual spot. Nothing out of the ordinary. But as I walked through the parking lot, I got this weird feeling, like someone was watching me. Not in a normal, “oh, there’s a person behind me” way, but more like when you’re a kid, and you just know there’s a monster under your bed, even though you can’t see it.

I shrugged it off, like you do. Probably just tired. But then, as I was unlocking my car, I saw it. Or at least, I think I did. Out of the corner of my eye, near the edge of the lot where the streetlight barely reaches, there was… something. It wasn’t a person, I know that much. It was low to the ground, kind of crawling, but the shape was all wrong, like it was folded up in a way that made no sense. I turned to get a better look, but it was gone. Just shadows. I convinced myself it was a trick of the light, or maybe a stray dog, but I haven’t stopped thinking about it since.

Here’s the thing, though: ever since that night, I can’t shake this feeling that I’m being followed. Not all the time, just when it’s dark out or when I’m alone. I’ll catch a glimpse of something in the corner of my eye, but when I turn, there’s nothing there. Just the usual shadows. But they seem… off, like they’re deeper or moving in ways they shouldn’t.

I know how this sounds. Trust me, I’ve been telling myself I’m just stressed or overtired. But it’s been a week now, and I can’t stop thinking about it. I’m hoping someone out there might read this and say, “Hey, you’re not crazy, I’ve seen it too,” or at least tell me I’m overreacting and need more sleep.

I’m not saying it’s paranormal or anything—hell, I’m not even sure what I believe. But something’s not right, and it’s freaking me out. If anyone’s out there, has this happened to you?
