In 2013 I was in my last year of highschool, and was on the bus home. I spent most of my time looking out the window, on occount of having to sit next to roudy middleschoolers. When the Bus was turning into a culdesac I felt a strange, ominus gut feeling. I looked out the window of the rear seat and saw something that should not be real. As a kid the other kids would sometimes tell of a little man who would run about when nobody was looking. For years I thought they were joking, but that day I saw a little grey figure. But unlike most apperations this one was much more well defined. About 5' feet tall, with garb that reminded me strongly of that of the early Meiji era where people would add western and traditional clothes together as they saw practical. In this case (from the top down) a Broad rimmed hat, a greatcoat, traditional pants with rappings on the lower part, and two toothed geta. It noticed me, panicked and bolted across the sidestreet and into the woods. The part that disturbed me was that as it went into the woods it ran next to a small pine tree and the lower branches (but not the top ones) moved as if by a strong gust of wind that did not effect any other trees further away (there was no other wind that day) implying it had physical mass. From what I can tell this is a one off incident, I have never seen anything like this before or since. Could someone explain what this was?
