True scary story

Okay so here goes. This may take a while to set up. So in 2015 or 2016 my dad took over this restaurant at this campground called viking lake. It was a charming little place, it was right on the shore of the lake and people would come and go whether it be for fishing supplies, ice cream, or food. Anyways, we met this guy there( I'll call him Steve). We liked Steve. He was a hard worker, and always helped us with anything. So long story short, he slept in a camper every night at the campground as he had no home. So this restaurant thing never really worked out. It was too expensive for my dad to pay every week, so we packed everything and went back home for good. I didn't mind as we had to drive an hour there and then an hour back home every day. But since we didn't own the property no more, Steve couldn't just stay on the campground all the time anymore with his camper. So we said he could live on our acreage in his camper. So this guy became like my brother. Every night I would walk out to his camper. We had a wifi extender so he had wifi in his camper. We would play ps4 or sometimes just watch TV shows. So his camper was probably 50 feet away from the door leading into the backyard area, and his camper was situated almost to the end of our property so it was a short walk. Anyways, one night I was walking out there and it was pitch black except for the light coming out of the animal pens, and I heard footsteps in the woods. The woods were basically 20 steps from the left of my back door, and bear in mind the camper was straight ahead after opening the door about 50 feet, so basically it was just a super long narrow path to the camper. So as I was walking I hear footsteps, and I look. It wasn't just something that I heard, because all of my goats were looking into the woods with me. It was definitely the footsteps of some kind of bipedal creature. I said hello? And the footsteps got louder and closer to me. I ran back to the door but before I walked in I turned around and said who is there? I heard a really weird low pitched growl come from the woods and I just ran inside. An hour later, Steve texts me and asked why I haven't been out there yet. I told him I heard some things and I was pretty freaked out. He basically mocked me and told me I'm hearing things, basically just trying to get me to show him wrong and go out there to game with him. Anyways, I eventually give in and walk all the way out to the camper no problems with a flashlight. We game for a while, and I leave the camper and am on my way back to the house. Next thing I know I hear these loud footsteps again crunching up some leaves and sticks. I turn the flashlight on and look around everywhere but I don

don't see anything. I eventually hear something way high up in this huge tree. It sounded like a woodpecker, but it was hitting the tree in a very slow rhythm. It was getting louder and louder. I said hello, and right when I said it the noise just goes rapid fire as if someone or something was just hitting the tree as fast as it could with a fist. I aim my flashlight towards the noise and it stops. Then I see an extremely pale, skinny arm worm it's way around the tree as if it was trying to hold onto it. I don't know how I didn't run after that part, but instead I walked a little bit to try and see what was behind the trunk so far up. Whatever it was peeks its head around and i never ran so hard in my life.

That's the story, but I can kind of explain what I saw. It was a somewhat tall creature, extremely pale, completely black eyes. Its limbs were long and skinny, and I remember how all of the limbs looked twisted around and mangled, like it had been run over a bunch of times. Biggest scare I had in my life. I literally thought I had seen the rake.
