October 2018, my brother Daniel and I went on a camping trip
the name of it is spiral ponds and it just south of our dollar and North famous Bay so kind of right in the middle on the east coast of Australia South Coast and it's a beautiful big kind of open bush campground with nice trees and glass of water that Tom Have you sign and get a bit chillier basically a bush campground right on the beach.
We went in your converted camper van combi van and I had woken up before you our first morning there and I was just on my phone taking photos of the sunrise out the back of the van hashtag van life and then you work up and
then I said I said to you did you get off?
And you said no. I said are good because I saw something scary
so yeah, I've got up to use the from
500 meters away your
land
the distance
hundred meters or so.
And so it gave like a bit of a glow to the air and it was pretty clear. So you know the moon was pretty decent and so then as I looked over in that direction where the lamp is, and maybe a bit over 100 meters away from me maybe about 100 days authorities to fake IDs. And instantly I was filled with this dread like this icy cold hand was gripping my heart and I just felt my stomach dropping and such a bizarre reaction just to see have seen me say figures but yeah, they're kind of these Polish figures hunched over and just generally kind of swaying side to side standing just kind of a diagonal to each other but facing my way I think so I just couldn't take my eyes off them you know it's just like gays let's just stuck to those really scared and I don't know why people will know there's no other people around well people just be standing there can't be kangaroos because there's no gray there any any kangaroos.
Bush and I could say the Buddha wasn't the bush.
No idea what it was some kind of supernatural being ghost, you know, which sure he knows, you know, but also scared. And eventually I managed to drag my eyes away scampered into the van. And I was I was being very quiet because I didn't want them to see me and chase me down quickly jumped in the bed. And so I'm just being there in paranoia. And after quite some time I dropped off the fight that was that you struck upon one that I hadn't even considered what if it was a kind of circle kind of like Bigfoot kind of figure. And as soon as I saw the picture on Google Images, just like an illustration, if you had that same kind of fear, instantly realizing what it was it I'd say
