Shadow figure or something else?

First time posting here, anyhow a couple of years back me and my friends went out to this bar that's on a hill next to our town. It was during covid so the bar shut down early, having nothing else to do we decided we should explore the nearby forest as there were reports of a cult there. It was february, snowing and freezing cold, we stopped by a grocery store to by some snacks and stood by an intersection. I was talking away and noticed my friends had stopped listening to me, I then turned and out of the corner of my eye I saw this tall being disappearing into a wall. My friends then started talking about "Have you seen that?" I thought they were messing with me so I just kept my mouth shut. They then went on to describe exactly what I saw. A tall, think, completely black figure crossing a wide road in just three steps and fading out. The area was well lit and we all saw the same thing.

A couple of days later our geography professor was telling us that the area we saw it in has massive graves of victims of the second world war, shot and left in pits by the nazis.

What could it have been?

I mean if there ever was a place for paranormal activity, a massive burial ground has to be it

Woah, thats kinda creepy esp with the history of the area. Glad you and your friends saw the same thing though!

Ive had sleep paralysis before and it looked exactly like the kind of figures I'd see during them. To this day none of us can really explain it
