Family

This just happened a few days ago.

I live with my parents in a small town in a rather rural area. My dad is into astronomy and he wanted to take my mom and me to watch the stars with him at around 11pm. I like night walks and I felt save because there usually aren't any people around in my street at night and my parents were with me so I decided to walk maybe around 50m ahead of them to enjoy the silence at night.

My dad told me to go to a nearby field. For that I had to leave the town and with that the street with lights.

When I first entered the dark area I immediately sensed that something was wrong. I had a very bad gut feeling. I looked around and saw nothing because it was too dark so I headed back towards the street lights and waited for my parents to arrive. We went back to the dark area and soon I saw a man walking towards us. It was completely dark but when he was about 2m alway he pulled out a flashlight and he aimed it directly at our faces so we couldn't see anything. It was weird but we didn't think much of it.

For a better sight of the night sky we went to path far away from the main road but you could still see the road where we met the guy. Suddenly he turned on his flashlight again and directed it at us again even though we were about 50m away now. I saw him turning around and walking towards us again before he turned off the flashlight. Soon after I heard him approaching us on that small path we were on and told my dad I want to leave.

We started walking back and I heard the guy turning around too. He walked in front of us the entire way back to the town. When we reached our house we saw another similar looking guy walking in the other direction.

Essentially nothing bad happened but my mom and me both had a really bad gut feeling and the fact that there's a series burglaries going on in our street doesn't make it much better.
