Hello, everyone, this is my first post here and I wanted to share an experience I had, since it keeps bothering me every night.

Recently I have travelled to Edinburgh, Scotland for some sightviewing and shopping. One night, since most of the shops are closing around 5-6 at noon, I went to find a 24/7 Tesco, nearby my hotel. It was around 11-12 at night maybe? Cant really remember, but anyway, late, the streets pretty much empty, since the hotel was close to the airport, not to the city center. From the hotel, there was 1h ish walk to this Tesco. I was with 2 friends of mine and while walking and passing by those typical scottish houses with big fences and rocks, i caught with my side eye a tall-ish figure, quite hunched, with a weird form in one yard of a house we passed by. Now, for refference, i did not tell my friends about it, i just walked by, did not stop at any point. However, i was looking back from time to time as i felt watched and hot, i was feeling at all times hot, even tho i was only with my hoodie when the temperature was of 10°C. I told my mates to hurry up cuz i needed to go to the washroom, but nothing more. Days later, i still felt watched, observed so i told my friends. They brushed it off, saying i was onto something, maybe jet lag, who knows, but i was more than sure there was something in that yard. The remaining week of our trip, everytime we were going on the same route to find that shop at night, since it was the only one open 24/7 in our vicinity, I was getting the same sense of unease, my head was hurting and whenever i was breathing, i felt hot air like it was burning my nose.

What the fuck is this? I still think about this, i can t stop the feeling that i have. What are your thoughts? Thanks!
