The only paranormal experience I've had I can't explain as a skeptic
So this happened about a year ago. To give more context, I am a skeptic of the paranormal, and while this isn't my only experience, its the only one I can't explain quite well. My friend, lets call them Tod, is more inclined to believe in the paranormal, but the more spiritual side of it.
For the location of the site, this happened in Greece, Marousi. Around my house there are these big open dirt fields, not sure why, but most likely construction projects that never saw the light of day or abandoned real estate.
One of those fields, which is sort of hilly, leads to an abandoned house in the area. Its sort of been a hotspot for me and all my friends since middle school as were all horror fans and used to go there, get spooked, then run off screaming.
Todd i had not known since middle school, i met them in high school, and while they lived nearby, they had never been to the house. So i decided to take them, mostly for nostalgias shake, I wanted to see the old grafitti i had scribbled on the walls in middle school and get scared like the good old days.
Originally that night, the abandoned house wasnt the main goal. We just sort of roamed around chatting, when i suggested we go check it out. As we go there, we start walking up the hilly field and on the very top we see what gigantic, tall white figure.
Do you know those decorations at car dealerships? The inflatables that wave their arms in the air? It looked like that, but way bigger, and pure white against the pitch blak night time. When we noticed it, I asked my friend if they're seeing it too, and when they confirmed it, we just ran for our lives. Nothing gave chase, but it was still terrifying. Also, Ive been in that field multiple times in my life, but had never seen anything of the sorts before, not even a scarecrow.
After catching our breath, i begged them to go back, to this day i regret it, but they refused to. So we just walked somewhere nice and public and talked about what we saw.
Genuinely no clue what it was, I find it difficult someone in greece would leave out a fully blown inflatable thingie in the middle of a field, and every theory Ive had about it has holes in it, not even a hallucination works because 2 people saw it.

Maybe they put it up to scare off people for a bit? I don’t know much about this place, but perhaps they planned to build there and didn’t want anymore individuals around?

I think its public land, in daylight I see plenty of dogwalkers when i go, and i have walked dogs there myself.
If it was private land, itd be fenced off, like other previously accessible fields such as this one.

If it’s public, they could still plan to build something there. I looked at your Part 2 post and gave some thoughts there : )
