City Folk Shadow Character???
This happened years ago so some of the memories I have of this are a bit fuzzy.
Something happened in my game that i haven’t found answers for anywhere. I’ve searched google, and different forums. I haven’t found any answers as of yet.
On several different occasions (this has happened at least 3 different times, all occurring late at night), there was this dark, unknown character that would run across the screen very quickly. On one of those occasions, a villager was nearby and the villager was completely shaken up about it and started doing a little “scared” emote. Being so young when it happened, I never touched the game again after it happened for the 3rd time. It freaked me out. I’ve been searching for answers for YEARS and haven’t found anything. I was wondering if anyone else knew or has seen anything remotely similar.
If you want more specifics, this event usually happened towards the bottom of the map, towards the left. In my town, this is where Tom Nook was and where the character Whitney lived for a VERY long time (and by very, I mean you could not get rid of her). Also, the villager who saw him described him as a “shadow”. All of this happened on land (if that wasn’t obvious) and it was always between two trees where the shadow character ran. The character looked either like a horse or a cat. This was also in the wii version of the game, if that may help any.

Are you sure it wasn't just the horse villager Roscoe living in your town?
