STREETLIGHTS BLINKING

I first noticed it in a Walmart parking lot.

The kids had too much energy, so we went for an evening Walmart trip. As we walked back to the car, I noticed one of the streetlights in the far corner, blinking on and off.

There's something about blinking streetlamps that's inherently creepy. I don't know why. Maybe because we're evolutionarily designed to be afraid of the dark? And blinking streetlights often go out? Or, maybe it's because of the stop-motion effect. There's a reason why haunted houses use strobe lights all the time.

In any case, I found myself staring at it as we helped the kids in the car.

And that's when I noticed something was... off.

As a car drove by on the main road, the streetlight blinked off--and there was something there, that obscured the red tail lights for just a split second.

It happened so fast, I thought I imagined it. Especially when the light blinked back on an instant later, and there was clearly nothing standing under it.

I didn't think much of it and got into the car. As we pulled out onto the main road, glanced back at it. It was still flickering, and something about it sent a chill up my spine.

We pulled out onto the road and the light disappeared from view.
