Somewhere between 1:00 and 2:00 in the morning and I was walking near police patrolled park quite a ways from my apartment, it was a quiet night even for a weeknight with very little traffic, and almost no one on foot the park as it was most nights was completely empty. I went down a short side street, in order to loop back down my apartment.

When I first noticed him at the far end of the street on my side was the silhouette of a man dancing, it was a strange dance similar to a waltz but he finished each box with a nod forward stride. I guess you could say He was dance walking headed straight for me.

Deciding he was probably drunk I stepped as close as I could to the road to give him the majority of the sidewalk to pass me. The closer he got the more I realised how gracefully he was moving he was very tall and lanky and wearing an old suit.
He danced closer still until I could make out his face, his eyes were open wide and wild head tilted back slightly looking off at the sky, his mouth was formed in a painfully wide cartoon of a smile. Between the eyes and the smile I decided to cross the street before he danced any closer I took my eyes off of him to cross the empty street.
As I reached the other side I glanced back and then stopped dead in my tracks, he had stopped dancing and was standing with one foot in the street perfectly parallel to me. He was facing me but still looking skyward, smiles still wide on his lips. I was completely and utterly unnerved by this. I started walking again but kept my eyes on the man he didn't move.
Once I had put half a block between us I turned away from him for a moment to watch the sidewalk in front of me. The street and sidewalk ahead of me were completely empty, still unnerved. I looked back to where he had been standing to find him gone, for the briefest of moments I felt relieved until I noticed he had crossed the street and was now slightly crouched down. I couldn't tell for sure due to the distance and the shadows, but I was certain he was facing me.
