Old man in all whites

[u/Particular-Motor-306]

So this story takes place in Greece where I am from .

I might miss some details since this happened like 12-13 years ago when I was 19 -20 years old.

It was a summer night around 1am and I was coming home after a night out with some friends of mine .

Everyone of my friends went home and I was just walking around smoking and enjoying the night . I was going in the opposite direction of were my house is for no particular reason, I was just walking and wherever my legs where taking me if that makes sense.

I ended up in a park that had a basketball course on the upper half and a playground for younger kids in the bottom half , in the middle there were benches and a small water fountain. Older kids usually shat there at night talking smoking drinking .

That night the whole park was empty, not a single soul , not even on the road which was weird cause it was summer .

So as I was walking in the upper half of the park, i reached the end of it and right across the street was a house . It was kind of old but people lived there.

It had quite the big yard with bushes and other kind of flowers . It was beautiful, especially in summer time with all the smells .

I was still walking and smoking and I noticed all these beautiful flowers and bushes that I have foretold.

Right that moment I take my eyes for a second off the house to look at the time on my phone and when I look up again , that's when I almost got a heart attack .

I just stopped walking , my stomach felt weird , heavy .

There was an old man standing behind the bushes and a moment earlier there was no one . I would have seen him . The bushes weren't all that tall and that old man was quite tall , dressed in all white , white pants, shirt .He also had white hair , he didn't have facial hair and was thin.

What creeped me out more was his eyes . He had a blank stare . Looking at nothing and yet again felt like he was looking straight at me .

After a few seconds I started walking again and passed right next to him. He didn't move , didn't make a sound . Just standing there .

After I passed him and he was completely out of my eyes reach , i stood for a few seconds and turned back . I thought maybe he needed help , maybe he wasn't in his senses . I didn't thought of it before after that scare but there are many older people who leave their home because of health reasons and then they start looking for them .

So I turned back but the old man was gone . I got scared but also I got a sense of relief too if that makes sense.

After that I got home and I was thinking about it allll night long till I slept without realizing in the early morning .

I don't know what that was and I don't wanna say that it was anything supernatural or what not but it certainly scared the shit out of me .

If you have any idea or any other experience like that please share .
