I'm having the same issue. I've surrounded my house by bamboo only one layer deep. All of the animals and the Endermen are "stuck" and jumping. They look like carousel animals. It's very frustrating.
I've had this happen to me. I was living just outside a well-populated village. I had dug out a mine beneath the village and was busily mining about two to three blocks below when I heard an Enderman. I ran to the surface and the entire village was empty except for one baby zombie. Oddly, there was a new path leading out of town towards an open hole in the ground...
Creepypasta indeed. It freaked me out for a solid week 😆 Now I build fences around nearby villages and light them up in hopes it'll prevent the same issue.
