Have you ever seen (or believed you’ve seen) a cryptid or some kind of paranormal event?

When my sister and I were teenagers and on a road trip in Oregon, we thought we saw some kind of imp creature in the river we were camping nearby. Heard the sound of snapping branches and when we went out to investigate it, we knew exactly where it was coming from but couldn't see because it was so dark. We were all scared of what could be making that noise and when we finally shined a light on it, it looked like this little thing with leathery skin and black eyes similar to Brundlefly, lol. We freaked out and ran away as soon as we saw it. However, in retrospect, we most likely saw a beaver (which would explain the wood snapping sound) or a nutria and we were so tensed up with fear, our minds just created this image of something else for the split second we saw it from shining our light on it. Typical scared teen dumbassery. 😂
