"I was out at night bringing in the washing," reports Demi. "I could feel someone or something watching me, so I quickly grabbed the washing. It was a breezy night and the winds got stronger... and out the bushes came a dark hooded black figure. I quickly ran in, shut the door didn't tell anyone."
As anyone who reads this website regularly will tell you, Demi, these hooded figures have been reported by many, many people. They seem to be a special subset of the ghost or shadow people phenomenon. What they are exactly is unknown. As an archetype they could represent mystery, the unknown, or death -- more likely, our fear of these things.
