One night I spent the night at my grandma's house, she lives in a trailer park with a playground and a forest in it. One of my best friends lives in the park too, just on the other side. The Past few times I spent the night I snuck out with him, we always go to the playground and we look up at the stars and talk about our dreams.
This night was different, it was going to storm I feel it in my bones. I still wanted to sneak out with him, no matter what.
"Hey, are you there" I texted, it was about three in the morning.
"Ya, I'm about leave are you ready" He texted back in a few minutes.
"Of course, hurry" I quickly typed.
I sat in my room at my grandma's house. It was small, just a twin-sized bed and a low window where I sat and waited for him.
When he finally came it was about 20 after three. He helped me climb out of the window. I remember the air being thick, and I was foggy. I really know it was going to rain. We walked down to the playground, it was down a long path through some trees. We walked to the merry go round, we sat down and after a few minutes of talking about our dreams from the previous night, I stood up and spun the merry-go-round, I laughed quietly, I didn't want the surrounding houses to hear me. I looked at the woods on the one-sided of the playground, it gave me a weird vibe. I ignored it as my friend swag us around again but this time I saw it.
Hunched over a little ways away was a white human-like being, it didn't look at me I only got a single glance of it for I was spinning around, it looked like a lemur but without ears or a tail, and it was bigger than me when it was hunched over. My friend saw it too, but it was running into the woods, his description was the same as mine.
"Hope I didn't see what I just saw," I said nervously hoping he said I was probably nothing.
"I saw something too, what did you see" He had a worried look on his face, I told him what I saw and he looked terrified. My friend doesn't get scared easily, he loves horror movies and horror games. Seeing that look on my face made me so scared I wanted to throw up.
"We have to go. " He grabbed my wrist and pulled me to the path leaving the playground into the streets of the park. As we walked away we heard a crashing sound, it sounded like a large tree falling. Where that running into the woods.
I didn't want to go home alone after that so we walked around the park some more.
Shortly after we left the playground we heard coyotes howling, we lived in Michigan so coyotes weren't abnormal, the way they howled was, it was like they were scared, or warning others.
To this day my friend still hears the coyotes howling and I still have nightmares about that night.

(UPDATE: 12/20/19: It has come to my attention that this thing I saw has the exact description of a wendigo, not one of an animal but of the old native stories.)
