I have a coworker who is always making it clear that she’s so busy and likes to explain what she’s busy with. I don’t like running into her because she likes to chat a lot about random personal things and sometimes hours can easily pass from her chatting and it takes a toll on my productivity, so I try to avoid her at work.

I feel like she gets a lot of praise for “what she does” but in reality it’s cause she poses herself as this really busy person when it’s other people who do the grunt work for her.

I want to share this because if there is anyone who could give me some input on what you think I witnessed, I would greatly appreciate it. This was hands down one of the most terrifying experiences of my life, and is the first time I’m writing it down.

The summer of 2023, I was walking my dog around 11 pm, just our regular evening walk. Right across the street from the apartment complex I lived at, there was a Catholic Church. The sanctuary was separated from the building that had a fellowship hall, offices, Sunday school rooms, etc. In between the two building structures was the church parking lot. Whenever I wanted to do a shorter walk, I would cut through the church parking lot so I didn’t need to go all the way around the block.
As I was about to cut through the parking lot, I noticed there were 2-3 cars parked in it, which was unusual for that hour, but didn’t think much of it.
My second observation was that, through the fellowship hall window, it appeared to be occupied because the room looked to be lit by candlelight. I presumed there was a late-night prayer circle or something like that, which explained the cars to me.
As I started walking through the lot, I saw a skinny, blondish, nerdy looking white guy with glasses walking from a truck that I assumed was his; however, I did not see him get out of it. I didn’t notice him till I saw him on the other side of the truck’s bed walking to the back of the truck towards the fellowship hall lit by candles. He stopped for a second and then suddenly got on all four in a VERY unhuman like way, swiftly made his (or its) way to the window of the fellowship hall & immediately stood up on both legs and peered in through the window with his nose practically touching the window. I stopped cold in my tracks with my dog, and then it turned its head over and looked at me. All I knew to do was to turn the other way and walk normally and just pretend like I wasn’t phased by what I saw. My dog seemed to understand the assignment cause he moved with me without making a sound or slightly pulling back like he normally would wondering why we were walking back the way we just came. I didn’t look back, and it clearly did not follow me. I’m telling you that the way it moved on all fours, it is simply impossible for a human to be able to move like that. The best way I can describe it is that it moved like a spider but with four legs, and it moved INCREDIBLY fast. Yes, we can move on all fours, but our limbs cannot move the way that thing did with its abdomen near the ground at that speed. I went back to my apartment and did not sleep that night and left all the lights on.

This was in western Tennessee, an hour NW of Nashville. I was stone cold sober, and to this day I am in total disbelief about what I witnessed with my own eyes, and every time I think about it, I get a cold feeling inside and goosebumps.

I’ve shared this story with a few close family members and friends, and a couple of them said without hesitation that it sounded like a skin walker. Honestly, I never even knew what that was before, and while I consider myself open-minded, that’s something I’m not sure I would’ve believed to be anything more than folklore. Obviously, that experience has completely shifted my perspective and shown me that this world has a lot more in it than I ever thought it could. I don’t really like to think about it, but this situation forced me to believe there is a supernatural in the physical world. Also, to this day, I wonder what was going on in that candlelit room, and what made that thing want to look in.
