White creatures in the woods

(ONM) I have seen hundreds of these things at night in the woods in the rural areas around Memphis, starting around 2020. They are tall humanoid creatures with blacked out eyes and they move slowly and in strange jerky movements. First time I seen them I was visiting a veteran friend of mine who was down on his luck about midnight of Thanksgiving day in 2020. He had been living in a run down camper vehicle at the edge of the woods on his brothers property. Between his camper and the tree line there was the remains of an old trailer that had been destroyed by a tornado with a street light on top of the pole that was used to run electricity to the destroyed mobile home, on the other side of the pole was approximately 15 yards (meters) of a field that an old dirt road that split it in half with tall grass and brush at the edge of the far side of the field after which the tree line started.

I thought they were people hiding at first as they seemed to be grouping more in the darker areas where the light from pole was not as bright. I asked my friend about them and he shrugged it off and said that they were always there, and they didn't bother him. He also told me that no matter what you did that you couldn't get close to one.

So being a combat veteran with 2 deployments under my belt and my personal firearm from my vehicle I attempted to approach these things. As I got closer I noticed that they were solid white creatures with solid black eye sockets that moved in a jerky but very slow manner. There had to be 50 or more in that field, down the dirt road, and at the edge of the tree line and beyond. Determined to let some thing fuck around and find out I continued to walk towards them and all of a sudden they all looked at me with black empty looking sockets and instantly caused me to feel more fear than I have ever remember having in my life before. I did not approach them that night, I turned away and got out of the area and took my buddy with me to stay a few days at my place.

Since that first time I seen them I have seen them about a dozen times since, always at night and around wooded areas at all different locations.

I have since tried to run and catch them, and failed, because the creature simply disappeared the moment I closed in within 5-10 yards and lost direct eye contact for a mere flash. It's like they can phase in or out or something. If you get in close you can see that the weird jerky moment is parts of them (arms, legs, head) disappearing and then reappearing in a different position. I think they disappear anytime they move so they cannot be seen if they walk. I have pumped 45 5.56mm incinerary rounds from my AR-15 into one without a single shred of evidence of it left behind. These things do make audible noise that can be recorded but do not show up on video from a cell phone or old analog camcorder with cassette tapes. Animals also see them, however I have tried to show them to people and only about half of those I have shown have seen them.

I have wondered if I was loosing my mind and if anyone else has seen them and/or tried other experiments with them. I have searched all over the internet and only found a few cryptid creatures that share one or two similar things to them but nothing that was close enough for me to be satisfied. The only thing that was really close was the origin of White Zombies, sort of. There's been a few people tell me this shape shifting creature, but they don't change, or bleed. They seem to be different sizes, se larger some smaller and they group up in what I have came to call family clusters, 4 to 5 of them usually with two taller ones and one or two smaller ones.

Please let me know if you have any ideas on what they could be or if you have seen them before in the comments below.
