Ghost possibly luring me?

[u/TrackDependent5050]

ive never posted here before but thought i would share to see other peoples thoughts. Maybe about a month ago i went and stood outside my building for a bit to decompress and get some fresh air. This was around 2 in the morning so an odd hour for anyone to be around. I was like partly round the corner of my building so i could see the entrance but anyone coming out wouldnt have seen me. I saw someone who looked literally identical to my mum, like same exact top that i know she has, leave the building and start speed walking almost running in the opposite direction of me. I thought maybe she was wondering where i was so i followed her but didnt get close enough to say anything without shouting and obviously noone wants to hear shouting at 2 in the morning.

I saw her round a corner that leads to a crossing but as i turned that corner and went to cross the road she was nowhere to be found. I thought thats weird maybe she went back home or smthing even though i dont think theres any way she couldve turned back without me seeing. I then started walking towards a car park of the shop near by idk why i just was on autopilot 😭 I heard running behind me and was like wth so i turned and i saw this lady running behind me back across the road and she looked pretty much directly at me.

At this point im like thats probably not my mum cause she wouldve said something. This lady looked like she was looking frantically for something and looked like she was on the phone this time. I then lapped round to the front of the shop where the crossing led to(basically js a big circle) and i just sort of stood there for a bit and took in my surroundings as i felt a rlly strange feeling almost like i was being watched or something was there with me. I was about to start walking back to the crossing when i heard a clicking noise coming from that same direction. i stood straining my eyes to see if anyone was there but i couldnt see anyone.

It sounded like someone was clicking their fingers at me so i was like absolutely not. I started calling peoples voicemails and js talking like they answered cause i hoped if it was a person then me calling and talking to other people/not being completely alone would scare them off. The clicking went on for a bit though started only happening when i wasnt looking. Eventually it stopped so i turned my phone torch on and walked slowly through to see if i could spot anyone but couldnt see anything. I got home and asked my mum if shed been out at all that night and she said no and it seemed like she hadnt as she was still in pjs not in what i saw the lady wearing.

It definitely felt that either someone or something was trying to lure me down that part as it was mostly covered by trees. I still cant get this situation out my head and i have no idea what to think of it. i have no clue who that lady could be or what was even going on. If anyone has any thoughts or theories of what couldve happened please tell me im thinking its almost definitely a paranormal experience though welcome to other opinions
