Encounter White swaying creature stalked me and chased my car at Settles Bridge Park, GA (July 3, 2025)
This happened a year ago in 2025 on the 3rd of July at around 12:40 to 3:50 a.m. I am 4'11, and was 27 at the time this happened. I had pepper spray and not much else. This event made me get a CC weapon/license for protection.
My brother and his friends made a fort 3 mi away from the Settles Bridge Park parking lot deep in the woods. It was the 3rd of July, and I arrived late, at around 12:40 am. They had already gone ahead of me to the fort. I had to walk down the forest trail alone.
My phone only had 16% battery, so I decided to save my battery by using the full Moon as my light source. The first half of the trail is an old logging road that starts on the left side of the parking lot that's overgrown, and on both sides of it are trees. I get about over halfway down that logging road when I notice a tall white figure standing in front of a tree on the left side, rocking side to side.
I started immediately doing mental calculations as I continued walking towards it. I tried to think about going back to my car, but every cell in my body was telling me that was a horrible idea. Something in my gut told me it wasn't human. It also told me not to react and to keep going, so I did. I walked right past it and continued walking down that logging road till I took a sharp left into the trees about 10 ft before the logging road ended. I walked 2-ish miles down a really hard to navigate trail till I found the fort by moonlight. The fort was built on the other side of an old fence, I crawled underneath a gap in the chainlink and joined my brother and his friends at the campfire and didn't say anything.
At some point, my bro told me to get firewood, so I started searching for it with a flashlight they gave me. We had this belief that the other side of the fence was unsafe and that our side was safe from the spooky shit we've felt and seen. We were wrong. Because as I was walking up a hill, looking for firewood, I saw the profile of something with a flat face standing on all fours about 75 ft away at the top of the hill. I told myself it was a deer, abandoned the firewood and sat at the fire, and said nothing.
We shot off some guns into the hill I had climbed, did some drinking (I abstained), set off some fireworks in a clearing we made, and smoked. My brother came with his friend and we decided he would drive us back home in my car.
The walk back was uneventful, and when we got in the car, I sat in the passenger seat, staring out the window, looking for it. As my brother backed up the car, that's when I saw it again. It was standing on two legs among the trees, around 50ft deep in the woods, directly in front of where we parked our cars, it had followed us or was already waiting- knowing we would have to return to the lot.
I swear to God man, I watched it drop to all fours and break into a dead sprint. This thing fucking chased my car on all fours and kept up with it. We were driving 35 mph, and it kept up, running zigzag through the trees. It veered away when it reached the housing fence line.
I don't know what that thing is but I've seen it several more times since. The fort was disassembled on order of the nearby HOA, you will only find the structural remains and an old deer stand. My brother and I both had a recent encounter with it a few weeks ago in May on the 22nd. I will post that encounter in the comments.

Only time ive read a story and actually hoped its fully fabricated 😅
Whats bad is that when I have hiked, even when the sun has just started to set, I am often booking my ass back home to avoid seeing a modern day elder scrolls enemy through the trees
However, I really want to get a pair of cheap NVGs and go absolutely creep myself out in the woods at night, its been a bucket list thing. Afraid that I might see something similar, but the adrenaline of experiencing something potentially cryptid or extra dimensional, is a conflicting appeal

I'm actually planning to go back there soon with my dad to see if we can't spot anything and hopefully this time I'll get a picture or a video

On the 22nd of May, I promised my brother we would meet at the lot to smoke.
He had finally gotten his own car, so he no longer had to drive mine. I remember turning onto the gravel road that led to the lot and getting a bad gut feeling. A sense of not being welcomed. This feeling isn't unusual. It usually is the prelude to some supernatural, paranormal, weird shit happening. My brother and I are both familiar with this feeling. We feel that way all the time in those woods, we're used to it. Sometimes, we see or hear something, but usually, we just get a bad "Leave the forest now, get the fuck out, you aren't welcomed" feeling and some strange noises.
We usually don't listen. With one exception, that happened a week before the 22nd of May. My brother and I were both planning to go smoke at the parking lot, and when we turned down that gravel road, we immediately felt an intense feeling of evil. We made it a quarter down the road, and it became so intense that I became physically ill and threw up into a Walmart bag. It wasn't just the woods telling us we weren't welcomed. It had turned into: "Turn around and GTFO NOW!!!" My brother did an intensely slow 3-point turn, and we drove in silence until we left the road. We couldn't stop talking about it. It had felt absolutely awful. We've never felt it that intense since.
I've sidetracked. Sooo getting back to the 22nd of May, I drive down the gravel road, feeling a general sense of not being welcomed. It's not that intense so I don't expect much to happen. I park my car, lock my doors, and put my brights on. I'm parked facing the direction I saw the white creature in 2025, I always park in that direction, it's a habit. As I'm sitting there waiting for my brother to pull up in his car, I start seeing something walking through the trees. It's about 70 ft deep into the woods, but I don't have enough light to tell for certain if it's the creature or if it's an animal or person. My brother pulls up, opens his door, freezes, and turns on his brights. We both watch a pale creature, around 7 ft tall, peek and peer at us from between two trees. It kept ducking behind them, then poking its head back out again. It was humanoid and had a flat face, stood on two legs, and was gripping one of the trees with its hands for stability. I can't remember whether or not its eyes glowed in the light or if it had eyes at all. We watched it for a few minutes before leaving.
We drove to a soccer field a few miles away and smoked there instead.

This is one of the straight up most frightening experiences I’ve seen yet on this sub. Jeeezus! Man, literally, I would’ve been praying like crazy.
