Ghost Stories & Paranormal Encounters

I was out with my mate, about 4 months ago, hanging out by the river down the main street of Werribbee, where I live. The main street has the typical row of buildings on either side of the road. But behind one side of the buildings, is the Werribbee river, which runs right through town. Therefore the backs of the buildings can be seen.

We were walking through the trees along the edge at about 11 pm. Me and my closest friend had both lost an uncle to accidents in water, so my friend had an unusual fear of water. We stopped walking through the trees and walked along a dirt path. All the way, I felt like I was being watched.

I asked Crystal (my best friend) if she felt it too. She nodded so we decided to get back into the light of the main street. There was a way I used to go to take a shortcut back into the street, it involved climbing a slightly steep hill made of dirt and soil. We walked toward the hill, still feeling like we were being watched, but now the feeling was very strong. I started to climb the hill, but it looked much higher and steeper than usual. All along the whole walk the hills looked much higher. I decided to walk quickly when crystal heard her uncle’s voice behind us. Then suddenly I went very cold and felt a hand on my ankle. Crystal yelled Go! Go! and we panicked and sprinted the last few hundred meters until we were under a street light.

I looked back toward the river and saw a shadow moving. Then and there I thought it was just some person playing a cruel joke on us, but the whole thing just didn’t feel right. We called it a night and started back to her house.

Every few minutes I’d look behind me and the shadowy figure would be standing across the road or in a driveway watching us. And I knew it wasn’t a person because I felt cold and tingly every time we were close to it.

I knew the whole night had happened but there have been times when I think I was just paranoid. Please if you know what the shadow figure could’ve been tell me because since that night I haven’t been the same person.
