The veils between the two worlds are thinning, and these entities are becoming more visible I think...... I have had my own experiences like yours, and it can be extremely frightening. But I have not been harmed in any way yet......I have found that these entities are there - especially in wooded areas - much more than we realize. If you manage to go back and capture video - try this: edit the video at 2x-4x SLOWER SPEED. I found that these beings are on a much higher vibrational frequency and use that to their advantage. We do not as readily see them at that high of a vibrational rate - especially with trees and shrubbery supplying even more camouflage. You can be standing right beside one or more and not SEE them because of this. However, video editing helps ...... they DO show up in photos too. But it's much easier for the naysayers to discount a photo, so I recommend getting video as well. I also use a 'GoPro' now ...... it films 'behind' me the whole time while I use a handheld video and film the front/sides. I have gotten some startling video results with the backward filming GoPro. Sometimes, I use gadgets too. Like EMF readers - and FLIR software, but usually I just go for it and hike into an area where I have had activity before and just take photos and video. To start with, your cell phone would do ....... then you could progress from there. I DO NOT EVER RECOMMEND PROVOKING OR ASKING THESE ENTITIES ANYTHING DIRECTLY!. I have never, in 2 years of investigating them in a forest here in Connecticut, ever directly provoked or engaged them in a conversational way. I feel like it would open up doorways that would be possibly harmful. I am politely curious, nothing more. I NEVER ask these beings for advice, etc ......... I get a strong sense NOT to do this, that it somehow changes the dynamic and gives them permission to interfere more in our lives. The entities I have seen range from very black, shadow types to tall, grayish beings with huge eyes and long limbs and torso. I have also seen some that look almost 'totem pole' like in facial appearance. Several times I have encountered what were some type of animal - leopard like entities. And twice I have seen some type of lizard like being ....... ALL were in the same forest. I understand your confusion and fear. To this day I am not certain 'what' they really are and exactly 'what' they truly want from interacting with me.
