My mother was telling me about an encounter she had at my grandfathers home about a month ago. She described going outside to smoke a cigarette and she saw a being around 7-8 feet tall long arms down to the ground almost and very very thin. This being was about 20 yards away from her in the yard. My mom is a very big fan in the paranormal field and just the oddities in the world, but she said it made her feel very uneasy and she went inside to get my grandfather and it was gone. She also said it made a horrific noise at her that no one inside heard. She said it sounded like a screeching static noise. Now me being the millennial I am immediately thought of slender man. My mother had no idea who that is but she was describing him to a T! I played the slender man noise for her on YouTube and she started shaking and in tears told me that’s what she heard. Can anyone. Help me figure this phenomenon out? I know there will be some naysayers and skeptics , I was as well but she legitimately has never heard of him or seen him before so I’m genuinely intrigued. They also see a lot of ufos out I. The country where they live in rural middle Tennessee.
