Possible apparition located in NC

This picture was taken approximately 3:00 a.m. on a backroad in Statesville NC during a newspaper route, another report in the same area individual was stopped at a stop sign and it felt like something slammed into the vehicle full force but there was no animals within the vicinity. I’m not exactly sure if any of this is paranormal so that’s why I’m reaching out, to hopefully get an answer to an otherwise unknown or unanswerable question thank you.
