I cant remember if I posted it here or not, but these "Invisible visitors" reminded me of an encounter experience that I had many years ago... I've got it saved on my PC somewhere, hang on....
Ok, got it! I'll copy/paste it below:

Quote:I had a strange experience of my own around 2007, here in West Central Scotland, close to the New Town of East Kilbride, about 10 miles south of Glasgow.
I was a stay-at-home dad to our first born son, who was about 2 yrs old then, and it was a nice day in the quiet village where I lived, so I had decided to take my son out in his 3-wheel stroller for a walk.
Shortly after leaving the house, I felt uneasy - like we were being watched, or possibly even followed.
There were the rustle of leaves by the hedgerow or small stones rattling softly on the road behind us, even though there was no breeze. I felt the hairs rise on the back of my neck, and several times, I whirled round quickly, to try and catch sight of whatever was there, but never did see anything.
It was then that I decided I didn't want to go any further away from the centre of the village, out into the countryside, so I doubled back and headed for the local play-park, so my son could play on the swings etc.
You'd think that the cheerful surroundings of a children's play park would have relieved the heavy / uneasy feelings, but it actually got worse and more intense.
This continued for about 5 or 10 minutes, until I felt drawn to look across the farmers field which borders the back of the play park.
There, about 150 yards away, stands a line of mature Beech trees at the lower end of the field, this is met at right angles, by a second row of trees heading away into the distance in a second field.
My eyes suddenly focused on the tree which stands nearest the junction of the two rows of trees...
This tree was shaking back and forth, rhythmically, and forcefully, as if being physically shaken. The trees on either side of it (as well as the row of trees heading away at right angles) did not move at all.
The weather was very still, and there wasn't even the slightest breeze, but this one tree was shaking very much, and all of the others nearby were completely motionless.
This was pretty scary to watch, but I was determined to find out what was causing it.
So I put my son back in his stroller and we left the park, heading down the road which would take us to a point directly by the end of that row of trees.
I wanted to look along the row, to see if anything could be causing the tree to move. This was on the same road as I had tried to walk earlier, but in the other direction (on the opposite side of the village).
I felt the same heavy "following" presence all the way down the road, to the end of the line of trees, and even heard twigs snap on the road-side behind us on at least three occasions! But every time I turned around, nothing was there.
There was nothing to see either, along the line of trees by the time I got there, and the one "moving" tree had stopped.
I continued walking a little further, to see if anything else would happen, but a couple of minutes later, the feeling of being followed suddenly stopped. The presence left, and everything immediately felt fine.
I went back over our route, and found nothing out of order.
I've never experienced anything else like this since, and I still can't explain it. There was no wind to move the tree, and even if it was a freak gust or something, it lasted for several minutes, and didn't affect any of the surrounding trees at all??
As a side-note - A few years later, I noticed that the same tree was dying off.
Its leaves were all brown and dry, while all of the neighbouring trees were healthy and green.
That one tree has since been cut down.
There you go,
