I was perplexed as the mysterious ‘lady in black’ roamed small town America.. news media organizations followed her, Twitter did too.. Facebook posts and pages were dedicated to her. She was on a ‘religious mission,’ she said.. she said she worked for the Pentagon, others claim she did not.
The woman walked cloaked in black with a walking stick.. the frenzy over her appearances got to the point where, on Wednesday, she apparently had enough. Police officers swept her away from a crowd of dozens of people this past week in Winchester, Virginia. And with that, the long national mystery has become even more mysterious..
The police say “she wants to be left alone.” Which is understandable.. As a matter of fact, on her long voyage on foot through the states she went to, she never went to the media or broadcast her perils or plight to the world. Instead, social media was the buzz buzzing over her existence.. And with it came thousands of comments about what she was doing and where she was going.. some even thought she was a sign of dreadful things to come, in the same way that the Mothman did.. Others saw her as a sad person on a special voyage for personal ambitions.. Facebook posts began defending her and demanding others stop mocking her travels..
Religious voyage?
Woman with mental problems?
Those mysteries may remain just that.. as the lady in black vanishes into the night..
