What were they?
when I was about 10-11, my family lived in rural TN. we lived in a bunch of trees and you had to drive a couple minutes to the next neighbor. we were in kind of a dark tree canopy and it was pitch black out (on our way home from football practice). in this canopy, all of a sudden 2 dogs came out from the trees, exact copies of dogs we had at home, same size, same breed, same color, just really dirty. I forgot to mention that it was me, my mom, and my sister, my dad was at home. anyway, we thought our dogs had somehow escaped, despite our distance from home, so we called our dad in a panic while trying to get the dogs in the car to get them home. our real dogs (Duke and Lacey) were home safe in their kennels. I was panicking and crying and screaming at my mom and sister to get back in the car since I thought they were skinwalkers. They were the exact same looking, same breed (labrador and Great Pyrenees) same color (silver and white) and both the same size, they ran back into the trees. so I’m asking: what are they?
EDIT: I thought I’d clear some things up
- we do not kennel our dogs often, and they are kennel trained, we don’t want them outside at night in pitch blackness
2.we were close to the “dogs” we got up and walked toward them
we do not live in trees, we live in a house
I have heard of ghost stories about mimics or skinwalkers and now paranoid
if you have anymore context /questions ask in comments, I will try to answer
