I've always believed in the paranormal, however I never had an experience or anything like that, but that was about to change for me on September 16 2017. I stepped outside my back porch for a cigarette it was around 3am in the morning so it was pitch dark out and cold, has I lit my cigarette I realized how disturbingly silent it was, not even the wind was blowing, I have a 6 year old German Shepherd that follows me everywhere so she was already jumping off the porch heading by the fence that separates my apartment from the woods,she has a habit for running off for a couple minutes but always comes back.I saw that she was staring into the woods intently and her tail wasnt wagging I called to her but she didn't even move,she started growling warning me there was an animal or someone close by.like I said it was pitch black out so I didn't see anything has I got ready to step off the porch I noticed 2 extremely red pair of eyes glaring at me from a distance and they weren't blinking, suddenly! they started getting closer and I heard the dry branches that had fallen from the trees crackling I yelled for my dog to get inside quintessa by that time she was barking viciously trying to get to the thing behind the fence has I turn around to bolt it my dog started whimpering and running towards me with full force,we both got inside I slammed the door and locked it.I had a glass door so I was able to see through it and what I saw when I grabbed my phone and turn on the flashlight and what I saw will give me nightmares for the rest of my life.it was a 7 ft tall naked man he's legs were bent the wrong way he's facial expression was twisted into a silent scream with he's red eyes bulging out of the sockets he's arms where reaching past he's knees he grabbed the fence and started shaking it I was paralyzed with fear from what I was seeing I didn't even noticed when he jumped over the fence and started twitching towards my porch if it wasn't for my dogs loud barking I would of never snap out of the trance I was in,has he started getting closer I turned around and grabbed the 9mm pistol I keep close by right when he got ready to jump on my porch I aimed and unloaded all 7 bullets into the door sending broken glass everywhere! He fell back from my porch and just vanished into thin air,my adrenaline was so high I didn't even cared that I pist on myself
