Trail cam caught something weird behind my shed near Eugene last night

I was checking my hunting trail cam footage around 3am and saw a dark shape just standing still by the fence for like 20 minutes. Then it moved sideways real quick behind the bushes and vanished. No tracks in the mud this morning either. Anyone else have cameras catch weird stuff that has no good explanation?

I read about this kind of thing in a forum a while back where a guy in Washington had a similar experience. He said the shape just stood there too, then seemed to slide sideways like it was on ice or something. Made me think of that old Skinwalker Ranch stuff I heard on a podcast, but out here in the PNW it's probably just a deer acting weird or maybe a person in a ghillie suit messing with you. Still, no tracks in the mud is the part that gets me, you'd think something that heavy would leave a mark. Keep us updated if you see it again, that's the kind of footage I'd love to look at myself.

and the sideways sliding thing is what gets me, like that's not normal animal movement at all. no tracks in the mud is the real kicker though, that's hard to explain away. i've heard stories from guys up in the cascades about similar stuff, things that just move wrong and leave no sign. you should definitely set up another cam pointed at that spot and see if it comes back.
