I saw a dark figure outside. It appeard to be human but I couldnt make out a face. I was parking my car outside and it stood there until it realized that I saw it. When it realized that i was looking at it moved really fast and appeard to run and hide. I thought maybe it was a man loitering around my property. As I got out of my car I checked under my car to see if I saw human legs, maybe someone

Sorry, I mean, why don;t we say:

(b) He saw dark figures out of his house.

What are the differences between "out of the house" and "outside the house"?

I think both are same.
