There were houses, but it was a Sunday night and most people's lights were out. I was in a very good mood as it was my "Friday" and at the time I had three days off. My husband was in off the road, and I knew he had ordered pizza and it was waiting for me, and I also LOVE the dark. So there negates a "poor state of mind". Anyway, as I got to the darkest part of the road, something darker than the darkness around it flew past , reversed, looked into my face then took off in its original path. This all happened in about 2 seconds. It scared me to the point that I shouted the F-word and jumped sideways into the street. If a car had been coming I would have been hit. It was about the size of a beach towel if you had it by, say a corner, and were pulling it in the air. So there is one story....

Oh I'm the same way. I'm a skeptic and look for a realistic explanation first as well. And your story resembles mine in the sense that they both took place in dark areas, although for you, it was probably much darker since yours was at night. Mine was during the day but in a semi dark building. Both saw something look at us and run off, all taking place within a few seconds. Honestly, the most logical explanation are hallucinations due to the poor visibility.
An alternative possibility is that someone actually was there but was acting very weird. But most likely, in both cases, it was hallucinations. Butt yeah, that is still freaky though and I would have gotten real scared too. When I saw the figure standing in the center of the basketball court looking at me, I left very quickly afterwards. Didn't run but didn't take my time either. Not sure if apparitions are real but that could explain it too but most likely, we experienced hallucinations. Very unsettling though.
