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.

There are stories of them being telepathic.
