“This is gonna sound weird but seeing things in the middle of the road at night. I was once driving home one night and turn a corner to see a dog in the middle of the road. Nothing weird right? Completely normal sight in a suburb. Every instinct in my body was telling me to get the fuck out of there NOW. When I see stuff in the middle of the road at night it doesn’t matter what it is I get chills, goosebumps, my airs stand on end and my palms sweat.
