There are times when you see things when you are out and about and say "What the hell did I just see?" My wife and I had stopped by the Carl Sandburg home yesterday afternoon to walk around and we were nearing the end of our walk and we decided to sit down on one of the park benches at the end of the driveway. We were sitting there talking and I happened to look up and I see a tall thin woman walking down the drive with her small child.
Coming up behind her was a man dressed in a black, hooded robe pulled down way over his head hiding most of his face. He had a white sash tied around the robe in the middle and he was walking with a five foot long staff that I at first mistook for a sickle. My eyes got real wide and I nudged my wife and said "Hey babe, look at that!' and nodded my head in the direction of the black robed man. All she could see was the woman walking with her child. My wife's reaction was "So? It's a woman and her child." I said "No, that!" and I gave a sharper nod. My wife took one look up and said "I'm not ready to go yet!" She thought it was the Grim Reaper coming to take us to the other side.
I did not see this character when we were up at the Goat Barn or anywhere else on the property as we made our usual stops. I did not see him after that sighting either. A sign from beyond? Perhaps. My wife interpreted this sighting as a sign that the worst had passed us and that we were fine now. That was the most positive thing we could come up with so I ill take it
