I'm not sure if this is a ghost or angel story. It concerns me when I was about 17 seeing a tall dark cloaked figure in the distance usually at dusk and when I was cycling around. As I'm fairly used to these things I simply told the figure to go away and leave me alone. It did this and I saw nothing else of it. 2 years later I was seriously ill in hospital and came very close to death. A few weeks later i was telling my sister about the tall dark figure when she went white and told me she too had seen the same figure. In her version the figure had been much closer and appeared for about a month before I was ill, at the foot of her bed and at school and between her bedroom door and mine. We could only conclude that the figure was either an angel of death come to collect me, or a guardian angel warning me of what was to happen. I prefer to think it was the latter.
