This is a true story from my early teen years. I grew up around Esko, Minnesota. Not a lot happens there in terms of weird. It’s not a hot spot for crime, or the paranormal (that I know of anyway). Its also not known for cult activity. This is key.
One warm, sunny day, I had a friend over and we got bored around the house so we decided to go for a walk. We had walked about a mile from my house, when we walked by a slough that was mostly dried out at this point. There were a group of people standing around in a circle wearing black robes. A few of them had white robes on, and there was something in the middle of the circle. A small dog maybe?
Now, keep in mind, we were not on drugs, nor drinking, nor was this us creeping around in the middle of the night. We both saw it. This event took place in broad daylight, about 50 yards or so off the road.
My friend and I took off back towards my house where my parents were outside doing yardwork or something and we took them back to where we had seen the people. Not hide nor hair was to be seen. I did take some convincing that we were not making this up since there was no evidence of anything, human anyway, there. This happened around 20+ years ago and it still sticks with me. Who were they? Where did they come from? There were no vehicles. No bikes. Nothing. It was a very sparsely populated area.
Thoughts on this?
