An eerie piece of dashcam footage from England shows the moment when a motorist cruised past an eerie figure that some have likened to the infamous Slenderman. According to a local media report, the creepy incident occurred early Saturday morning as musician Lauren Amour was driving home to Newcastle and spotted "something on the road" ahead of her car. Switching lanes to avoid the oncoming object, Amour was stunned as she approached and passed a tall figure cloaked in black, its face a stark white.
"I was so scared," she later recalled, "I have absolutely never seen anything like that before. I can't explain it." Fortunately for Amour, her car was equipped with a dashcam that captured footage of the unnerving moment that she subsequently shared on social media. As one might imagine, the spooky scene spread like wildfire and generated an array of reactions. Some viewers were quick to note the figure's resemblance to the infamous fictional supernatural character Slenderman. Others posited that Amour may have encountered a ghost.
Of course, more skeptical observers insisted that the musician drove past a misguided person who was foolishly lingering along a highway at 2 AM while dressed in black. Of those three possibilities, the last may actually be the most frightening option, since one can only wonder what such an individual might have been up to under those circumstances at that hour. With that in mind, who or what do you think Amour passed during her drive home over the weekend? Weigh in with your thoughts at the C2C Facebook page.
