Surreal 2D horror series Midnight Scenes continues with From The Woods
You might recognise developer Octavi Navorro’s pixel art in Thimbleweed Park, 2017’s detective point-and-clicker. But since then, Navorro has been releasing surreal 2D horror games on an almost annual basis. Navarro’s series Midnight Scenes has been the highlight, having disturbing premises and Twilight Zone creepiness. The newest episode, Midnight Scenes: From The Woods is due on February 9th and it looks as chilling as ever.
Scary ALTERNATE REALITY Incident in Labrador Woods
Peggy, her husband Derek, and their two children moved to Clarke’s Beach, a small town on Conception Bay in Newfoundland and Labrador back around 2000. Peggy always enjoyed the area until she had a frightening experience while picking berries in the woods near her home in August 2022.
“I had an experience blueberry picking that left me scared to go back for a while. I still get the chills thinking about it to this day. I always loved the summer. Where we live, there are only seven houses on our road with only one entrance. It’s surrounded by trees. My yard had lovely wildflowers, strawberries, and cherry trees. My neighbor had a plum tree that the moose come out and eat every fall.
Across from my house, there was a big piece of undeveloped land overgrown with trees and giant blueberries. It’s one of my favorite spots to go to. Every year I’d make a few trips across the road onto this little path until I came to a small clearing full of blueberry bushes.
Every year was the same for years until it just a little while ago I remember I was waiting for my sister to come and visit. I said to my husband that I was going to pick a few berries while I waited for her, so I grabbed a bucket and I was off. It was around 6:00 PM in late August, so it was starting to get dark earlier but I figured I had plenty of time. Now keep in mind I could see my house and hear if my sister pulls into the driveway from where I was. The piece of land I’m on is maybe a couple thousand feet.
So there I was picking away one for me one for the bucket. The berries were big but today they were huge. I mean I had never seen berries so big, it was blue all around. I kept picking and picking. I soon started to notice it was getting dark. ‘Oh no, another big patch, look at those!’ I said to myself. I couldn’t leave but no matter how many I picked, my bucket just wouldn’t fill. ‘Oh, it’s just my eyes playing tricks on me, because it’s getting dark. Keep picking, Peg, and you’ll fill your bucket soon,’ I said.
Suddenly, I got this strange silence coming over me. The air got a little colder. No wind. It got so quiet. No birds. Nothing. I couldn’t even hear the sound of the highway. I can always hear the highway. I thought I was deaf. All I could hear is my heart and I believe that stopped for a second too. Everything started to go in slow motion around me. All of a sudden something clicked and a voice said, ‘Get out of here, now!’ I remember standing up and trying to go and my feet felt heavy.
I looked for the path but I couldn’t find it. I started to panic because I could see my house but I couldn’t find my way to it. The harder I tried to get through the trees and reach the road, the further away it would seem. It’s like I was looking through something. I was walking on a treadmill in front of a big screen. I saw my sister’s car pull into the driveway and my husband talking to her on the step and calling out to let me know she was there, but I couldn’t call back. I tried and only whispered. I started to get scared. It was getting dark and I wanted out of those trees. I remember saying ‘Not tonight, buddy, not tonight. Leave me alone! I’m not playing your games!’
Next thing you know, I’m out on the path and standing on the road in front of my house unsure of how I got there but glad I was.”

NOTE: This Conception Bay, Labrador account is very interesting. I have been there a few times and I had heard of weird incidents. My father was stationed in Goose Bay, Labrador during the Korean War. He and others experienced a bunch of unexplained activity. There have been several Bigfoot encounters there as well. It’s a joint Canadian / US military facility where Special Forces have often trained. Some of the later unclassified training books mention incidents at Goose Bay, especially those involving Bigfoot encounters and how to react. I had 2 of these manuals many years ago but lost them when I had a fire in my apartment in 2005. Lon

College Friends Observe Possible PALE CRAWLER HUMANOID in Western Pennsylvania Woods
A group of college friends in western Pennsylvania is together in a local woods at night. After a while, they notice an unknown being, possibly a pale crawler humanoid in a nearby tree.
The following account was referred to me:
“My experience is from late 2006, just before the winter break of my freshman year of college. I went to a small college in rural western Pennsylvania and the freshman parking lot was on the edge of campus up against a State Game Land. We’d go out there a couple of nights a week to smoke some weed. That night, we went to our usual spot in a clearing with a fallen log to sit on just past what you could see from the parking lot (though we could see the lights from the lot through the trees behind us).
Now, I’m sure you’re already thinking, “It was probably just the weed.” But we were veteran smokers, had just started smoking that night, and had been smoking out of the same bag previous nights without any weird things happening. We packed a bowl and had maybe one hit each as we sat there talking quietly. It was winter and this night was particularly cold, like in the teens (Fahrenheit), but very still. There was no wind, almost nothing making sound out in the woods where we were. I took my first hit and handed the bowl and lighter back to my friend, then looked up to exhale.
That’s when I saw it through the smoke. There was a humanoid face in the trees on the other side of the clearing, opposite the parking lot. It was just above a branch that it had its hand wrapped around, I think it had three fingers with a very long, narrow thumb that stuck out several inches past its other fingers, each tipped with a pointed nail.
As the smoke cleared, I got a better look at its face: Very pale, almost grayish skin. Bald, no eyebrows, no other hair of any kind. No ears that I could see. Big eyes relative to its head that was very dark in color, catching just a little bit of light from the lights of the parking lot behind us which made them seem kind of reflective. I didn’t get a great look at the nose or mouth as I was fixated on the eyes. But from what I recall, they seemed small relative to their head compared to a human.
I tapped my friend’s knee and quickly glanced over at him to see if he saw it as well, and he was starting at it too. So it’s something we both saw independently. I looked back at it just as it released its hand from the branch, revealing very long, thin fingers to match the thumb, and then it moved backward out of our sight without making a sound, even though there were dry leaves all over the ground.
Only a few seconds actually passed during this span, but it felt much longer and there was this odd calm over the whole situation. As soon as it was out of sight, however, my friend and I both felt intense fear and we ran back to the parking lot. It was in such a panic that he didn’t realize he had stuffed the still-smoking bowl into his coat pocket and dropped the lighter. We ran to the opposite side of the lot from the woods where there was a road, some cars passing, and some other students walking around where we finally felt safe.
There was an initial, “Oh my God! did you see that? What was that?” We calmed down and talked about the details of what we saw, which matched up perfectly. The only thing he noticed that I didn’t was that he said he didn’t think it even had a mouth. We thought maybe it was a “classic gray alien” or something, but knew no one would believe us and didn’t tell anyone else.
The next day, we went back to the spot in the woods and found our lighter standing upright on the log we were sitting on. The odds of it falling and landing like that are very, very low, adding another creepy factor. Did this thing find it and put it there?
We also walked over to the tree where we saw it and found the branch it was grasping. It was a good 10-12 feet above the ground. We couldn’t even reach it by jumping and there was nothing around. No stumps, no rocks, no lower branches. Nothing that it could have been standing on, so it had to be tall to appear there.
Weirdly, the leaves on the ground had been disturbed all around the area beneath the tree. Not like, just tracks or something, but it was as if something had intentionally brushed the leaves away and then dug some shallow holes, maybe 4-6 of them about 6-8 inches deep and 2-3 inches wide. My friend was a biology major who had been an Eagle Scout (and now works in a state park), so he knew a good deal about most of the area’s wildlife and didn’t know of anything that would disturb the ground in that fashion. Plenty of animals dig, but they don’t sweep away an area (probably 5ft x 5ft) of leaves like that just to dig a couple of holes like that. He couldn’t find any other tracks leading away from the area either.
We never went back out there after dark again and never saw it again either.” BB

‘GLIMMER MAN’ Follows Fleeing Teens In Dark Woods
Two teenage friends spend the night in the nearby woods, only to observe a ‘glimmer man’ watching them. They start to leave the woods but soon realize that they are being followed.
The following account was recently forwarded to me:
“This occurred back in the early 1990s when I was a teenager. My parents were not strict so I had a lot of freedom. One of my friend’s parents owned a huge part of a nearby woods where we would spend much of our time. We built a makeshift hut, so this place became our ‘sanctuary’ for a long time.
One friend spent the night at our sanctuary, which none of us had ever done before. We only hung out there during the day and then went home. Because of this, we all planned to spend the night together because it would be fun. Some of our friends weren’t allowed to spend the night there though because of their parents and the others just chickened out because they were afraid. So it was just me and one other kid, my friend’s cousin. We weren’t close at the time and fought a lot. But surprisingly we got along well that night.
At around 11 PM, about 10 minutes after laying down in our sleeping bags, we heard rustling. I set up and saw a very tall silhouette of something that looked to be human-like. But the weird part was that it was also transparent! I could see right through it. I squinted and froze. It very quickly climbed up a nearby tall tree. When it reach a large bough, it stopped moving and simply disappeared! I was in complete disbelief and shock. I had no idea if this was real or if I hallucinated it. I wasn’t scared, actually more perplexed. I said to my friend that we should leave and not wanting it to hear me I got close to his ear and said there was something in the woods looking at us. After I said that I saw his facial expression turn into fear. So we got up and started walking down the path toward the edge of the woods. We did so calmly. I didn’t want to sprint because it might give chase.
Very shortly after we started leaving we both experienced this weird feeling of deja vu and confusion. It was like we were hit with hard drugs or something, even though we didn’t use drugs and only ate food from home. I did have a small flashlight. I felt disoriented but we continued to walk in this direction for quite a while, stumbling in the darkness. Because of our mental state and I realized we should have been out of the forest by now. I knew this was the way out after going in and out of this place for years, even in the dark. I didn’t recognize the trees and landscape around us, just the path. It was like our surroundings were changing.
Then my friend sees the transparent thing I saw earlier. It was perched on a tree branch in front of us. He pointed it out to me. I told him that is what I had seen earlier. We stopped and watched it. It had a heatwave effect. We stared at it for 10 seconds in disbelief. It looked like a transparent being, but there was a defined edge around it. It then quickly climbed up the tree a little more and then jumped into the next tree. It was completely silent. As well, the woods were completely silent.
Then, for some unknown reason, we both panicked and started to run. The surroundings still seemed foreign, but we just wanted to get away from this unknown being. We were beginning to wonder if we had gotten turned around at some point because we should have been out of the woods by this time.
But, as soon as we started to fear that we were lost, we suddenly began to recognize where we were. We exited the woods and quickly made our way to each of our homes.
The next day, we all met back at the sanctuary. My new friend and I described to everyone what had happened to us the previous night. There was a lot of kidding and teasing, but there was also a sense that each of us knew that something unexplained has actually occurred.
Gradually, each of us started to spend less time in the woods together. We all seemed to drift apart and found new friends over time. I occasionally wonder if the encounter with the transparent being was the reason why our friendship faded away.” JK
