Death note found in Helrin forest

I have made a huge discovery. I was camping in the Helrin forest, camp site #4. I was thirsty, so I decided to head down to the creek for water, I was mid filling up my pale of water when I saw it, Tall.. and dark, it was staring at me from behind a tree, the arms extended past its knees, and the fingers were bigger than my head, and the face.. it was blurred as if you knew there's something behind the blur but can't quite understand what it is.

I stood up, running as fast as I could, trying to get back to my camp, I could here it's steps following me all the way back. Then, the steps stopped, I thought I had lost it. I entered my tent, laying in fear, I drank the sum of water I collected down at the creek, and I tried to replenish my strength after all of that running. Just then, I heard it, the loud eerie footsteps. It was outside my tent.. I went silent.
