【Historical Creepypasta】 The Scarecrow in the Trench

One late night during World War I, a weary squad of soldiers found themselves trapped in a muddy trench. The German artillery had ceased, and an eerie silence fell over the surroundings. The soldier on watch suddenly noticed that a crooked 'scarecrow' had appeared on the barbed wire in no man's land, though no one knew when it got there. Such a thing was impossible on a battlefield. Even more bizarre, each time a flare shot up, briefly illuminating the darkness, the scarecrow's position would shift forward by a few meters.
