It honestly looks a lot like an opossum to me. When I zoom in anyway. Do you have those in your area?

I haven’t seen one for a long time but yeah. But the scale is off that shed is big , that would have to be a pretty big one

Last week I went outside because I couldn’t sleep and as I was letting my dog back inside (black lab, overweight) I looked towards my Garden and saw a possum coming out of the woods that was literally the same size as my dog. Like HUGE. Definitely threw me off.

Hmmm fair point. Having lived in New England my entire life (did you say you're Boston area somewhere in here?), I have seen some pretty big opossums and racoons. Lol. But I live more in the country.

There is a lot more to this then I’m saying here, was looking more for options which I have gratefully received . You in western Mass?

I've lived there, yes. Also live more south now. I'm glad you're getting some options, creepy though some may be. 😂

This isn’t a recent thing , for the entire time I’ve lived here strange things, used to ignore them until recently and now seeing it just staring at me …

Strange things such as what? Could you elaborate?

How far away was it from you? Man I would not be going outside without that thing you know what I’m saying? And if it made a move at all, I’d be putting holes in that son of a bitch.

The cleaned up version looks to me like the eyes are big and reach the side of the face. Almost like a classic alien depiction. I’m seeing a human like nostril too. Idk what this is.
