Ghost, demon, or cryptid is hard to know. At about 2AM my wife and I were walking up to an apartment building and I happened to glance up at the second floor window in front of us. It was an ambiently lit room, as if a TV was on a pale blue image illuminating the room. There was an object in the window. A very clearly defined silhouette. It had a slender body, no discernable arms or shoulders, not too tall - the head was only about a 1.5ft or 2ft above the windowsill. The head of this thing had crunchy looking hair in a style similar to Krusty the Clown of the Simpsons, but wait was a dark red color. When I saw this thing, I said quietly to my wife, "what is that?" And pointed at the window. She looked up at it and while we looked at it, it turned its head as if it sensed us, and it stared directly at us. The fast head movement was not human. It SNAPPED to us and stared directly into our eyes. We felt it. We didn't see the eyes. We felt them. We ran inside our home and before we went to sleep we did a religious ritual to banish the creature and protect ourselves and our home. No kidding, the family that lived in the apartment moved out 3 days later.
