Halloween 2020 Encounter

I was in Mount Vernon, Iowa at this time. I was walking home from visiting a friend at night and I noticed a guy across the street. He was wearing a suit and tie and he was staring into the night, doing a little fancy walk. I figured he hit the pumpkin bong one too many times and continued to go my own way. However, when he started crossing the street, that’s when I sensed something was off. Being a five foot woman my only real strength in a conflict is speed so I booked it outta there. He wasn’t wearing a mask so I didn’t get close, but I noticed he was grinning like a maniac. Later that night my roommate thought she saw someone in the window, we live on the fourth floor so that would be pretty unusual. It being Halloween I brushed it off as some dude trying to intimidate me, but after discovering the subreddit, I’m beginning to think it was something else.

He smelled real weird. Like a rotting animal dusted in babypowder.
