Grim Reaper Sighting
by Witness

I am submitting this because I want people to know that Death is real. I don't mean the process of passing on, I mean "The Grim Reaper." Now this may be a hallucination or a "tulpa," as John A. Keel refers to these kinds of things, but I not only saw it, I felt it.

In 2001 at around 6:30 p.m. on the 13th of June, I was about 1/2 a kilometer into my woods in order to feed the guineas I had bought to scare away the neighbor's blasted mutt. I brought out the feed and looked to a hill in the forest and immediately dropped everything to stare. Behold, just to the south about quarter of a mile to the side of me, a figure with a gray robe and small wings walked across the hillside. It stood around 20-25 feet tall and carried a large (about 5-foot) mace. I continued to gaze at it until it turned and walked away, out of sight.

I believe this creature to be either the collector of souls or the devil himself. No human can reach that height. It also glided somewhat high enough that I could see the ground beneath it, so it couldn't have been a prank. It made no noise whatsoever, except the wind as it moved and a hideous, terrifying sound that I wish to never hear again.

I never believed that there was a Grim Reaper. I thought it only symbolized death. I've moved the guinea pin to my front yard, and I don't allow my children into those woods. I fear that it might come back.
