Monday 11th, March 2024
In the silent hours of a Thursday night in March 1994, an Irish Midlands taxi driver had an otherworldly encounter that continues to defy any explanation he can come up with. Preferring to keep his identity undisclosed, the driver recounted a surreal experience that unfolded on his journey home around 3:50 AM.
As he ascended a hill, the beams of his headlights illuminated an unexpected sight, what initially appeared to be cattle approaching at a rapid pace. Taking precaution measures, the driver slowed down and pulled to the side, only to discover a scene that defied earthly norms. Instead of cattle, two horses with a carriage in tow emerged, steered by two men draped in long coats.
Adding to the mystique, the horses sported black feathers on their heads, and the carriage, with transparent sides, revealed a mysterious coffin within. The procession was accompanied by a group of individuals walking behind, all adorned in clothing reminiscent of a bygone era. Astonishingly, as the ghostly procession drew within a car's length, it dissipated into the night, leaving the perplexed witness in its wake.
Upon reaching home, the taxi driver, grappling with the surreal experience, shared the account with his wife. Seeking validation, the couple relayed the story to their neighbors, only to be met with skepticism. The prevailing sentiments ranged from attributing the encounter to a dream or an alcohol induced hallucination to entertaining the notion of an encounter with the paranormal.
The incident transpired approximately two miles north of Glasson, en route to Ballymahon. The driver, resolute in his assertion of sobriety and sanity during the incident, remains haunted by the unexplained vision of that peculiar night in March 1994.
The enigma persists, inviting speculation about the paranormal source of the driver's experience. Whether it was a product of an overactive imagination, an elaborate hoax, or a genuinely paranormal event, the Midlands now holds the secrets of that mysterious night in its folds.
