(Warning) A Terrifying Experience

I worked as a part-time cleaner at the Porcelume Refinery in the Lemnian Hollow for two weeks (I think it was for some renovation or something). One night shift, trying to catch the cable car, I took a shortcut. I vaguely noticed what looked like an old white mop hanging in the bushes nearby. Didn't think much of it at first, but five minutes later, I saw that same mop head in the bushes again. That's when it hit me - it wasn't a mop at all, but some creature's head...

I sprinted to the cable car station at Olympic speed and couldn't sleep all night. I even gave up on signing another two-week contract that was on the table.

Later, before leaving the Waifei Peninsula, I took a trip to Sailume Bay. Heard some residents there had spotted strange things too. I compared notes with this one bro, and turned out we saw the exact same thing - some creature that follows people from a distance. I got lucky and bailed, but that poor bro had it rough - he still has to work in the Hollow.

Really want to know what we actually saw - was it an Ethereal or some other monster? Wondering if anyone on the Inter-Knot has had similar experiences.
