There's a steep hill right behind me here so this "figure" just appeared there in front of me as I climbed it up.

Nah, that's just what it looks like when it knows you're looking at it. Don't turn your back on it.
Now it's outside behind my window.
Do you have any iron nails? Hammer them into your doors and window frames. That might buy you enough time. Carry cold iron with you always, and put out a bowl of milk and sugar each evening from now on. Put it as far from your house as you can whilst still being within your boundary. Greet travellers and others who come to your door hosipitably, but don't let them in if their eyes are wrong. You'll know them by their eyes, but don't stare, that's rude, and you should never be rude to them.
If you get lost in the woods, and a stranger appears and claims to know the way, thank them kindly but do not follow them. If they offer you food, do not eat it, but do not reject it either, that might be taken as an insult, and you should never insult them. If they ask for your name, do not give it to them, or they will take it. Say "I am sometimes called ...", or "You may call me ...", and give a fake name.
They love riddles; do not challenge them, they will win. If they offer you anything, do not take it unless they say "This is a gift, freely given", or you have entered a contract, and it will not be easy to escape. Likewise, if you give them something, say "This is a gift, freely given" for they hate being beholden to others, and may pay you back in ways you do not want. Admire the crows, but do not trust that they have your best interests at heart. When you arevout in the woods, do not leave the path, you may not find it again.
Good luck.
Retuuurn the slaaaab.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE FRED?!
Jesus, this is so atmospheric, it seriously looks straight out of a horror movie/game
This...
This looks like right around the corner where I grew up. Random humans are rare, usually you see wild deer, but then again, aren't you a random human taking the photo?
More random people in the wilderness than you think, I remember when I went for a bike ride and I got to an area very rarely used by people and in the distance some random dude was sat on a log, I almost had a heat attack when I saw him lol
Bet if you sold him your soul he'd a taught you to play blues guitar like nobody else.
sold him your soul he'd a taught you to play blues guitar like nobody else.
The more I think about that the more it sounds like a good deal. No idea what will happen when I die though, do I just sit on a log in the woods as well?
