True terror: Unhuman faces in the dark

According to the author, all of the story is true and none of the pictures have been altered from their original form. 

In May of 2021, my best friends and I were staying at Allegheny State park in one of the old rentable cabins.

We had been having a good time drinking around the campfire that night and went to bed around 2 a.m. I was sleeping in the upper bunk directly across from the fridge and the cabin’s front door. I rolled over in the middle of the night and opened my eyes to see my friend crouched on top of the fridge between the fridge and the ceiling. 

At that point I was awake. 

I yelled, “Jordan, get off the fridge!” 

Jordan replied from the bunk bed next to me, “Katherine what are you talking about!? I’m right here.”

I turned my head in the direction Jordan spoke. When I looked back, whatever had been on top of the fridge was gone.

If I had to describe the creature’s physical characteristics, I’d say its face was a human face — my friend’s face — but its body was inhuman in nature and super skinny — almost malnourished-looking. 

My friends and I talked about it in the morning. Jordan confirmed we had had a conversation in the middle of the night; we both remembered it. Since I am not a sleep talker, we were not sure what the creature could have been. 

But it gets creepier. 

Not even a month ago in September, something weird happened again. 

I was with the same two friends and we were having a campfire at one of their houses. We were sitting around the campfire telling real spooky stories about murders, radios going off without anyone on the other end and other bad things that had happened around the Fredonia area. 

We were also discussing what had happened back in May and still debating what kind of creature it could have been. 

We took some pictures by the campfire because the fire was really big. The next morning when we looked at the pictures we found something in the background of one picture — a face that wasn’t human and looked like it had sharp teeth. 

The original photo is below next to a zoomed in look at what was found behind me in the picture. 

What do you think it could be?
