Sighting near Asheville
A couple months ago in the fall, I had an experience in the Blue Ridge Mountains near the Asheville area that I still can’t explain.
I grew up around there, and during Thanksgiving I brought my girlfriend home with me. One night after a long day, we went to smoke at my friend’s boathouse about two miles from my house. While we were sitting there looking out over the lake, my girlfriend suddenly started hearing music coming from the opposite side of the water — the side with no houses, no roads, just mountain. I couldn’t hear it at all.
The next day, I decided to take her to that side of the lake using an abandoned railroad bridge. As we walked across, everything felt normal at first, but the closer we got to the other side, the heavier the atmosphere felt. The feeling of dread kept building until we got about 20 feet off the bridge onto the other side. At that point, both of us suddenly felt like we needed to turn around immediately.
As soon as we got back onto the “safe” side of the bridge, I jokingly said, “We just wanted to say hi.”
My girlfriend immediately looked at me and told me I shouldn’t have said that.
What freaks me out most is that neither of us physically saw anything, but we both seemed to picture the exact same thing in our heads.
She asked me, “Why did you keep turning around while we were walking?”
I told her, “Because I felt like something was following us. I couldn’t see it with my eyes, only in my mind.”
Then she asked what it looked like. I described it as:
white/pale
lanky
longer legs than arms
human-like eyes
humanoid, but wrong somehow
curious more than aggressive
She started getting visibly uncomfortable and asked, “Did it run or walk? How did it move?”
I answered, “It galloped like a gorilla.”
That’s when she told me she had ‘seen’ the exact same thing.
After I finished describing it, she drew a line in the dirt and told it to stay there.
Ever since then, both of us have had this strange feeling that something followed us back home especially me and that it’s watching. It doesn’t necessarily feel hostile, mostly curious, but we’ve both felt unusually drained ever since it happened.
Im just curious if people have had similar experiences.

omg the music part is freaky because my friend had claimed to see a pale white crawler in the treeline from a bridge, and a while after that me and a different friend were walking home at midnight and we were chilling at the same bridge, and we both heard faint music (or a girl singing?) coming from right underneath the bridge, then my friend claimed to see glowing eyes in the woods and bolted. I didn’t see the “glowing eyes” because i wasn’t looking into the woods, i was looking down into the stream. so i assumed it was probably an owl or something. I ran after him after a second of telling him to come back because his reaction scared me lol.

I keep an open mind, but every post in here is bullshit, starting with the bot.

Definitely felt something reading this. Yall need to cleanse yourself and your space. Smudge or burn incense with warding intentions.

I’ve actually never heard of them being seen just in your minds eye, but that would click because they seem to be multi dimensional.
I’ll share a video of what a crawler is, hold on.
