Transluent like figure walking, early morning.

1984/85 5:30-6:00 am Saturday or Sunday, ages 13 yo and 15 yo. A tall white thin partially solid/translucent-like figure walked from behind a building. It was about 30 ft away. I froze as soon as I saw it, it took a few steps then stopped, turned its head, and looked at us, I thought I was going to die I was so scared, worried I was seeing something I was not supposed to see. The figure looked at us for several seconds then started to walk again. It went up a small embankment towards a creek. We ran, did the paper route, then later when we told the story no one believed us. Back story: My friend and I were walking to her paper route; it was light but not fully, I think it was summer. I lived on an industrial street, no businesses were open, so no one was expected to be around at that time of day. My friend was not wearing her glasses so to her it just looked like a cloud floating over the ground. But she will vouch that I saw something that day that scared m! e to death
