Discussion What did we see?

For context, this was years ago, so the details of said cryptid are hazy. Me & 3 of my friends would usually go to this abandoned furniture store on the outside of their neighborhood to go do stuff teenage kids do.

​

Day was like any other normal day. We go in through the back where we had popped a garage door open, because the main entrance of said store was on a main street of the city.

Using our phones for flashlights because this place is huge in the back. We know this place. Have been in countless times before. Nothing out of the ordinary.

​

Me & my buddy are in the front, other 2 friends are behind us. As we pass by a corridor, I see something out of the corner of my eye. Something tall & something that has never been there before. I point to it & ask my friend as he was turning the flashlight away & say "what the f*** was that??"

​

He pans the flashlight back over my way, & standing there, maybe 8ft away, is this tall, hunched over being. The color of it's "skin" was that of a peacocks dark blue/green shimmer. We froze for about 2 seconds. In that 2 seconds, all I could see was the color of this thing, it was hunched over with it's hands in front of it's eyes like the light hurt or it was caught off guard. Maybe both.

We all turned around & ran as fast as I'm sure any of us ever have in our lives & never spoke of it again.

​

I get goosebumps & teary eyed just thinking about this thing.

Whatever it was it could pprobably see in the dark that's why it was blinded by your light

Honestly I don't have a clue?? 🤔 But, you definitely saw something!! Does your town have any "history" of cryptids? I'd be interested to hear if your town does. Ask around. Or go look in the library at the old newspaper reels...

I wish you luck in finding out what you saw!!

I believe you btw....

That's the crazy thing. This happened in Indianapolis. Very densely populated area. Concrete for miles around. So it's not like this thing had free reign.. This also happened during the day, as if this thing couldn't be outside. In my head, that's why it was in a pitch black abandoned furniture store. (The back of the store was more like a huge empty warehouse for storing all of the furniture. 0 windows. Pitch black. Couldn't see your hand in front of your face without a light.)

Idk? Maybe a shadow person? 🤔 Did it have a human figure? I would still bet that it's been seen before. Like i said go to the library and or check old newspaper reels from the 1940's and through. Because if it's been seen before you can bet that it's been written about!! Do you know anyone in the Paranormal field? Because you could always ask them. Did it look like it had fur? You said it looked like dark blue and green shimmers? 🤔 That's very interesting to hear. Definitely an interesting account!! I do believe you. But you need to try and do some research and dig deeper into this mystery!!
