anything more on the possible gaunt person? I've had a few similar experiences but I've always blown them off as anxiety or (whenever I had smoked) stupid stoner paranoia

sure! It was before stories about slenderman were a thing (or at least, before they reached me), however I'd generally say the description was similar. 
before I describe it, it was outside of my normal vision
I could tell it was gaunt bc I could see the shadows under the cheekbones. the head skin looked grey, like someone ludicrously old. bald, or super thinned hair. very tall too, like 6 6 or taller. wearing something that looked like a suit, the color worn-out black gets. I don't think it looked aggressive or anything, wasn't like in an attack posture, just kind of rocking back and forth (towards and away from me). One of the freakiest parts was that it was aimed directly at me, with nothing between us nor anything beyond me, and it didn't move from that spot until I looked. hmmmm... I don't think I remember anything else.

actually, speaking of something in the woods I have a story about something large I briefly came across 

>be me
>winter 2017ish, some snow on the ground
>bored as hell so go on a walk outside
>walking down some barely used road outside my neighborhood
>fairly wooded area, but i can still see around me
>going near a field, and the area is fairly quiet
>whatever it's literally winter it's always quiet
>something large just beyond the treeline crashes through the vegetation
>didn't see anything there, just. a large crash and movement in the vegetation
>immediately nope and speedwalk home with no further problems

i was younger and completely sober. around where i live it gets pretty dead in the winter too. i still hear weird shit in there when i go home, but i don't go very deep into the woods and nothing's happened so far

yeah, plenty of big fucks out there to do this. If you lived in the northern side the worst-case scenario being meeses. The fact that a megafauna animal exists, and lives so far outside the human-decided norms of current fauna, fucking fucks with me. These things don't care that we are the top of the hierarchy, that we are the top predator. My Dad hit one with his car and.... the thing just walked off. What the fuck.
