Not creepy, but odd. My grandfather used to deive a truck for Wanda Petroleum back in the 70s, and one night while he was driving to a town, he heard something rattling outside his truck, like something had come loose and fallen. So he pulled over to see what had happened. As he was inspecting his truck, he heard the rattle again. Without the road noise it sounded like chains being dragged. He looked away from his truck toward the sound and he saw a massive shape moving along the side of the road back the way he had came. When it got closer, he saw that it was an elephant, escaped from a nearby circus, dragging chains behind it.

My grandpa never said what he did after that, just that it was one of the strangest things he'd ever saw. It was also one of the funniest tales the quiet old koot ever told me.
