Last summer 2004, my daughter (age16) and I were going out to feed her horses. It was almost 1:00pm (I know it was late for an am feeding but we usually late feed at dusk (8:00pm). We live 5 minutes from the pasture we rent.

We were on an isolated dirt road, near the pasture, when up ahead we saw someone coming toward us at about 300 feet away on the left side of the dirt road. We laughted- how could anyone be dressed in a hooded black robe with long bell sleeves and the length about one foot off the ground with all this heat- 95 degress outside the truck. We were sweating with the AC on full blast.

As we came closer (15mph) the figure turned to its left. When this occurred we lost sight for just a few seconds, because of ONE large bush, now between our line of sight and who ever it was. As we passed the bush we wanted to see who was there. There was no one! There was no place for whoever to go or hide.

We both realized what we had seen had no face (just black inside the hood), no hands or feet and as it moved it had just floated slowly. We couldn't even speak. We have talked to no one.

Since this occurred we learned the older woman we rent from, her husband, had died very abruptly (murdered) many years ago. We do not know if these incidents are linked but who would know? I would have liked to believe I could handle this kind of thing much better than I have.

We don't talk about it and my daughter avoids the pasture. We are hoping to move our animals to their permanent home soon. Very soon. Thanks for the opportunity to share, vent.
