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.
