Unknown Narrator

I was startled, but kept going until I made it back to the cabin, and then I returned to the river again. By now, I was a little frightened.

i kept telling myself i was just overreacting and should try to enjoy nature i sat at one of the tables and watched the river for a while that's when i started to feel like something was watching me i looked around assuming one of my friends was trying to prank me but there was no one

across the river i noticed some disturbed brush it opened into a small clearing blocked off by two logs in an x shape the longer i sat there the more uneasy i became i couldn't shake the feeling that something was hidden behind that thick brush Hoping to find some sign of life, I moved down to the river's edge. But there was nothing. No fish. No frogs. No roads. Just mosquitoes.

A whole swarm of them. Disappointed, I went back to the table. That's when I heard it. A sound I can't accurately describe. Like a scream mixed with a gurgle. As if whatever was making the noise had a mouthful of water. It was inhuman. I froze. I should have run for my life, but I just stood there. I heard rustling in the bushes behind me. Yes, the same bushes I'd been worrying about earlier.

And then that scream again, even louder this time. It was the loudest sound I've ever heard. Run. So I did. I sprinted through the forest, but what should have been a quick run back to the cabin turned into anything but. After about ten minutes of full-on sprinting, I realized I was lost. I stopped for a moment, panicking, to see if anything looked familiar.

Finally, I spotted a bridge I remembered crossing on my way there. I started running toward it, wondering why that thing hadn't just attacked me when I first froze. That thought haunted me. I could hear it chasing me. It felt like a twisted game. Every time I stopped, it stopped too. Eventually, I made it back to my cabin. Instead of going inside, I stood on the porch facing the forest and cried.

I couldn't see anything unusual out there, but I knew it was there. I didn't want to turn my back on it, so I stayed on the porch for hours, silently crying, checking my phone occasionally, and writing all of this down. I still don't know what that thing was. The only creature I can compare it to is a wendigo or skinwalker.

all i know is that i will never go back to that river again if anyone has insight into what or who might have been out there i'd appreciate it these past two days have been too strange not to be connected edit last day of the trip we burned some sage before heading to bed that night Brett came to me around 4am and said he couldn't sleep.

We watched TV for a while before hearing tapping on the back window again. It lasted a few seconds at a time, almost in intervals, if that makes sense. Brett managed to record a video. We decided not to investigate because, frankly, we were scared out of our minds. After about 10 minutes, the tapping stopped.

Brett and I took turns sleeping and nothing else happened that night until we were both woken by loud banging on the shed out back. When we went to check it out, no one was there. I'm leaving in two hours. I can't wait to get back to city life and leave all this weirdness behind. Thank you for all your support and guidance over these past few days. I really appreciate it and wish you all the best.
