Have you ever heard of a ghillie suit? It's a type of camouflage clothing commonly used by military snipers and hunters to blend in with their surroundings. The word "ghillie" comes from the Scottish Gaelic word "gille," which means servant or lad. In the video I came across, a witness described seeing a tall, dark figure that resembled a 10-foot-tall football player wearing a dark-colored ghillie suit. According to the witness, this encounter took place near Deadwood, South Dakota, when they were in the fifth grade. The witness and a few other kids were playing in a barn when they suddenly smelled a horrible odor and heard a loud, shaking sound. The barn started to shake violently, and the witness saw the walls being pushed from the outside. The dog with them started to bark and growl, and the witness saw the figure in the ghillie suit running away on two legs. The witness described the figure's movements as "like a cartoon," with bushes and trees rustling and breaking as it ran up a steep hill. The witness and the other kids ran back to the house, shaken and scared. The adults dismissed their story, but the witness insists that what they saw was not an elk, deer, or bear. It's interesting to note that ghillie suits are often used for hunting and military purposes, as they allow the wearer to blend in with their surroundings and remain hidden. However, in this case, the witness saw the figure in the ghillie suit running away, suggesting that it may have been trying to avoid being seen. Regardless of what the witness saw, this encounter is a reminder of the mysterious and unexplained creatures that may be out there, waiting to be discovered.
