[Arcturus]

This is something that happened to both me, and my younger brother when we were both children.
We had been playing in the garden and had left whatever we had been playing with outside when we had gone back into the house for dinner.
A couple of hours later, and after it was dark, we remembered we had left whatever it was we were playing with outside and decided to bring it back indoors.
Both being a little bit scared of the dark we agreed to go outside and retrieve the object only if we both went together.
As we got about halfway down the garden I saw what appeared to be an orange silhouette of a man to the right of us. Kind of like a man's shadow but orange instead of grey/black. The moment I saw this, my brother gasped with fear/surprise.
"What's the matter?" I asked him. "Did you just see an orange man over there?"
"Yes!" he said and we both ran back into the house as fast as we could.
I tried to find a logical explanation for this for many years afterwards. Was it the reflection of a nearby light or something similar and why did it have the head and shoulders outline of a human figure? But I couldn't find an answer and attribute it to something supernatural such as a ghost or some kind of entity.
