Why does this image freak me out so bad? (Patreon)

Years ago, I was messing around with creating a Knifepoint Horror cover image by simply taking an old picture I found online and adding a human presence to it with some quick random slashes. The accidental result was this. For whatever reason, I find it completely disturbing. Who--or what--is that presence, which wound up being a little less human than I thought, and why is he/she/it merely staring at the house--or barn--or whatever that is? Is that a chair it's sitting in? Gahhhhhh!

More disturbing still is that I had completely forgotten about the picture until tonight, when I was rearranging computer files I haven't examined since God knows when. Almost as if it had been.... waiting.

UPDATE, 10/22: And then, seemingly out of nowhere, listener and entomologist Meredith Pounds creates this and sends it in....no sleep tonight, I'm afraid....
