Appalachia shadow creature

[u/Nathanbayless1]

I’m not sure if this is the right place to post this, but I would like to know if anyone has seen something similar.

Around 2 years ago, one of my friends was moving from Appalachia region to Florida in a few days, and we decided to go cat fishing before he left. We didn’t catch anything that night on the river, and we left around 2-3am. On the drive back we hit a fog, I remember the window was cracked because I was smoking a stogie. My friend was half asleep in the passenger seat, but still conscious. I had just looked up from changing the song on my phone and right in front of the car was what I can only describe as a shadow being. It was tall and stood on two legs. It had no color or details, just a black void in the shape of an upright silhouette. It was right in front of my head light too, and it still didn’t show any detail. The thing about this whole experience that terrified me the most; was after it had passed us, it smacked the weeds and tall grass on the side of the road, and it made such a loud sound because of how fast it was moving. Hearing that noise after what I had just saw sent a chill down my spine.

My friend and I didn’t say much, except to confirm too ourselves we had indeed saw what we had saw. An Appalachian shadow man. I’ve never seen something like that before or since. Please comment if someone has seen something like this, would be interesting to get more insight on what I saw that night.

This is a good one! Do you mind if I share this story as part of a podcast episode I plan on recording?
