The Lady in Black
The incident of the Lady In Black happened to me many
years ago when my children was smaller. We were on our
way home in the car coming back from a camping trip. I was looking out the
window at the scenery when we went by a grave yard. What
caught my attention was this lady just standing there in a long black dress with
a black hat on and a breast length black veil. I remember thinking how unusual
this was. I looked for cars around and there
were none, I asked if anyone else saw her and everyone
said no!
I was so intrigued by this that I had to find out if maybe
she lived in a house near by or something. I could not get this image out of my
mind. Weeks went by, I continued my search trying to find out what
year that dress was made and one day I finally found it in an old book and the
year was 1854! This really was getting weird,
and being of a very inquisitive nature,
I went back to try and find the grave yard again. I found it and the
grave she had been standing by was that of an
infant and it was unmarked! I looked around
trying to find a house around there and there was not a house or a road to be
found! So my only conclusion here is, for some unknown reason I was allowed to
see this lady in the 1854 black dress! The year this happened was 1973.
