As I was walking through a farm coming up to a big road that separated the farm from the woods, I saw a man coming out from the woods and walking down to the road.
Now that might sound benign and not worth noting but it’s what I noticed next that gave me the creeps.
His outfit wasn’t that of a hiker or a farmer. He was dressed in smart trousers and a bomber’s jacket which is completely out of context with the surrounding nature.
That made alarm bells go off in my head.
He was walking down towards his car which again was a city car, not one you’d drive in the kind of woods/farm/trail area that we were in…
It all didn’t look right and didn’t feel right.
By the time he got down to his car, I had already crossed the road and was about to get into the woods.
I tried to act normal and not show vulnerability, he kept looking my way which continued to creep me out.
When he got to his car instead of driving off, he opened the car boot and reached in to get something out with both hands.
