So last night around 10 I went for a run. Kinda dumb of me, I know, but my family lives in a small town in a neighborhood that is pretty well lighted at night. I assumed I would be safe.
At one point during my run, I noticed a man/boy (not sure) who was across the street from me sprint to a tree and drop. He disappeared from view. At first I assumed he was doing pushups but than realized that he was actually in the street, pressed down against the curb, hiding in the tree's shadow. I couldn't even see him and wouldn't have known he was there if I hadn't seen him in the first place. I ran by on the other side of the street, glancing over at him every few moments to make sure he wasn't following me. After I was about 100 feet away I looked back and saw him lift his head up and get off the ground. He looked to be an older boy, or a man. I'm not sure how old he was.
This really frightened me. I ran home fast. But what made me even more nervous was after telling my TBM siblings about it, they mentioned that this sounded like one of their friends- and this came from 2 of my siblings, at different points in the evening, talking about 2 different boys they knew. Weird right? Both these friends of theirs are TBM. It seemed really strange that my brother and sister thought it was normal for an 18 year old boy to be out late at night hiding in shadows from people. They said they could see their friends playing "ninja" and trying to hide from people.
I think it's creepy. What are your thoughts? Is this a normal male activity? I seriously thought this guy was trying to sneak up on me, luckily I saw him.
