I forgot to mention this, but two days ago, I was walking to school.

I have a zero period class, meaning its before regular school, so I leave my house an hour earlier than everyone else.

Being that its October, and winter is nearly here, the night lasts longer. 

Anyways, it was 6:42 when I left, and it was oddly dark outside. Darker than normal. I had a headlamp with me, so that cars could see me walking if there were any coming towards me. 

I remember I didn't even get 50 yards from my house when I got that unnerving feeling that I was being followed. 

I sped up my pace a bit, hoping that its just a feeling. I thought I heard footsteps behind me, but when I looked, nobody was there. I just walked faster down the hill and nearly sprinted 300 yards to the cross before I got to the street where its only a half mile to the high school. That feeling didn't leave until I got to one of the nearby parks. I got to school safely, but I swear, there were footsteps. I saw a print in one of the mud lots while speed walking. I didn't see any person, but then again there are very large hedges everywhere.
