I found this Huge Fat Mantis in my backyard last Fall. Found her clinging to a weed, so I moved her to the bean patch where she hung out for several weeks. She has the swollen belly of a female getting ready to lay eggs. I never found any egg sacks, then she vanished as suddenly as she appeared. This is where this story gets really weird. Last Sunday morning, I was on my way to Church when I noticed what appeared to be a very tall and skinny old Woman standing on the shoulder of the Garland Street ramp to I-49 North. My first thought was, OH Lord Jesus, that poor old Woman is out here in the cold hitchhiking alone. I felt compelled to stop and see if she needed help, but as I got closer, I realized this probably WAS NOT SAFE for me to do, as I was traveling alone and no one else in sight. I figured, well, if she needs help, I will call the State Police to drive by and check on her. That plan went out the window when I noticed she was wearing a long dark cloak with a large hood almost completely covering her face. The clothing appeared iridescent and shimmering with a neon green glow. Yes, very weird I thought. It gets better. This tall skinny figure had what appeared to be a huge white guitar case or vase painted with Mexican "Day of the Dead" Flowers slung over the Right Shoulder. If that's not startling enough, the face is what freaked me out the most. It appeared ancient, pale, and wrinkled like a mummy. I kid you not, the face appeared like a PRAYING MANTIS! At this point, I became so terrified, I hit the pedal to the metal and went straight to Church like there was no tomorrow! Still trying to wrap my head around this. The most rational explanation is:

1. This was a musician or theatrical performer trying to hitch a ride on the I-49 ON RAMP (by the way, it's illegal to hitchhike on an Interstate Highway here, so we NEVER see hitchhikers here).

2. Somebody slipped me a hit of acid.

3. It was an apparition of The Blessed Lady of Guadalupe (Spanish Virgin Mary. No, I am not Catholic or Mexican).

4. It was a Tall White / Alien Gray Extraterrestrial Biological Entity (EBEN) trying to disguise itself as "Our Blessed Lady of Guadalupe".

5. I am BS Crazy and should seek Mental Health Treatment.

No pictures and no witnesses. I was too terrified to even think of taking a picture or stopping to interact with it.

Thoughts and recommendations, please. This is the most bizarre thing I've ever seen in my life!
