This story is odd and happens in the one place you would not expect it to a Catholic University.

I went to a local private Catholic University for college. I'm not sure why they decided to but someone scheduled a ghost hunt. I went with a friend and we walked around the school in a big group. While outside we walked around some of the grounds surrounding the University. It was windy out and we walked near this road that cuts through the property.

It was dark but I could still see a little and I saw what looked like a humanoid creature moving near us and it went down the road and I lost sight of it soon after. I recall seeing something that looked similar before while on my way to school one day in the morning in a fenced off area. I know the locations of both these sightings and could point them out if someone wanted me to its still clear in my head.

The creature was gray in color and not wearing anything. I don't think it was a ghost it did not strike me as one at the time. If you want a mental image of it think of Gollum from the Lord of the Rings or the Rake from that internet creepy story. It has that hunched over posture and the grayish skin. To make it clear also I did not know of the Rake story yet so the images you may have seen online were not in my head as mental images. I found it when I went looking for answers though.

I did not see its face either time just what its back looks like and its general shape from a side view.

If anyone might know what it was I am all ears. I have looked into it a lot and found a few things it could be but its nothing really similar to what I saw.

Oh good lord, I read the title and thought you found a photo of me from my freshman year of high school. Lol.

It could of been anything, alien, ghost, demon, earth spirit of some kind, some guy in a mask....

[KlaineyGStudy]

It is really hard to say what it was you saw, but it sounds creepy. When you saw it on your way to school was it moving or stationary?

[MacCionoadha BeanSidhe]

Was it skeletal thin and have any pets gone missing in the area or has any animal carcasses been seen? If so, it could be one of a few things, but in all possibility, it could be a Wendigo. Did the creature look something like this?

Should I be scared to see that picture then?

If it was a guy in a mask and body suit then get that guy a manager and put him in movies now!

It kind of looked like that but not that skinny. If I am correct also a Wendigo is a cannibalistic Algonquian spirit/monster.
If you want a visual this pic works well similar setting also. (note the pic here is fake as far as I know)

I know two men where hung near the University back in the 1700's and around that time. I'm not sure what it could be there are so many things.

You are correct in your summation of a Wendigo. From what you posted, it never acknowledged your group, which I believe was lucky on your part. Lord knows, what could have happened if it had noticed all of you. I hope you never witness the creature again.

I hope you never have the chance of seeing something like that creature again.

You need blinds. They can't look at you if they can't see you

[earthlydelitesGStudy]

Good point!! *closes the blinds* does that go for Pooky too ?

[MrsFrootloops]

Pooky's gonna look at you no matter what, you just keep a soap on a rope around your neck and he won't try to eat you.... much. lol.
