Something quite odd just happened.

[Fisty]

Just been out for a walk with the dog along the sea front, it's quite dark but not pitch black. Im walking along the sea wall path, to my right is a wall with a drop of about 10 feet the other side of it into the sea, to my left is a concrete sea defence about 15 feet high and curved to form a wave shape.
About 10 metres infront of me I could see the shape of a person walking towards me, as soon as I saw this the dog shot to my side and walked to heel (he never does this).
I decided to put him on his lead incase he bothered the person walking towards me, as i bent down to put his lead on I could hear the footsteps of the person ahead, then as i stood back up they stopped.
I expected to see the person within a few steps of me but when I looked up there was nothing. Zip. The person had gone!! To make things worse the dog refused to walk any further and insisted going back the other way.

Fucking odd!!

Cool story bro and all that.

It was Blind Pugh come to give you the black spot. Check all your pockets, and see if there's a mysterious shadow on your hand.

A ghost. It's clearly the only explanation.

Maybe it was ghost of Kim Jong-Il, would certainly explain the dog's reaction.

[Tungtvann]

Might have been a ninja.

[recman]

Maybe whoever it was got so scared of your dog that they just launched themselves into the sea.

Just maybe.

[Skudd]

It was a physical metaphor for your hopes and dreams.

Were you tired? I've 'seen' all kinds of odd things when I've been tired... doesn't explain the dogs behavior mind...

We can call it a ghost, but then you've got to define what a ghost is, so it's not really an answer

Did you feel concerned or unnerved at any point? Like a sense something was wrong?

The brain is very good at turning what the eyes see into patterns that we recognise; figures and faces in particular. This is because we have historically needed to recognise human from animal and our own tribe from others. This is why we see a face in the moon or Jesus on our toast etc.

What the brain doesn't do, though, is imagine approaching footsteps.

It may have been a gay ghost as it definitely seems to have put the willies up you

Indeed. I'm sure there's a perfectly rational explanation. But when several factors come together like this it becomes more difficult to rationalise. Fisty will unlikely ever know the rational explanation though.

Best theory I've heard so far is the Smiler one.
