A couple spotted a pretty terrifying figure while walking their dog and nobody can seem to agree on what it was.

Halloween is right around the corner so that means the spooky season is upon us - but we all want harmless scares, right?

You'll be hard-pressed to find somebody who wants to come face-to-face with an actual demon, but one couple believes that this might have happened.

The couple were out for an evening stroll with their dogs at Clumber Park in Nottinghamshire, England, when they stumbled upon something that sent shivers down their spines.

Capturing the eerie incident on camera, Hannah and Dave Rowett had a close encounter with a mysterious, shadowy figure that left them baffled and bewildered.

The unsettling incident occurred earlier as the Rowetts leisurely strolled through Clumber Park. What transpired next was nothing short of a scene out of a horror movie.

Their camera footage reveals a peculiar, ghostly figure seemingly materializing out of thin air, swiftly traversing their path, only to vanish into obscurity.

The couple shared this spine-tingling video on Facebook, attracting considerable attention and sparking a spirited debate.

Viewers are divided in their opinions, with some questioning the authenticity of the video, suggesting it might be a well-crafted hoax. However, others remain convinced that what the Rowetts captured is a genuine, otherworldly phenomenon.

One person wrote: "Yep definitely a demon of some sorts," while another contested: "Just some dust or reflection on the camera I guess."

Even Dave, who was initially a staunch skeptic when it came to matters of the supernatural, now finds himself a believer after this chilling experience. He, too, is grappling with the eerie footage and the inexplicable figure that crossed their path that night.

Adding an extra layer of intrigue to this hair-raising tale is Clumber Park's reputation for being a hotbed of paranormal activity.

Local lore tells of a spirit known as the Grey Lady haunting the area. Described as a woman clad in a long coat, this entity is often likened to a demon, eerily crawling on elongated limbs.

Remarkably, the description of the Grey Lady aligns eerily with the hunched-over figure glimpsed in the video, raising questions over the connection between the two phenomena.

As Halloween draws ever closer, more ghostly stories are sure to emerge so make sure you've got your cameras at the ready to capture the paranormal beings!
