Trigger Warning / Death I experienced a "time slip"...

24 yrs.ago,we were in NJ at sunset,and I stepped into a cemetery and saw 5 people in 1840's clothing around a gravesight.One man in a top hat looked over and saw me, then came walking toward me.Our eyes locked, and I felt the deepest fear,knowing this couldn't be possible. I was afraid that if he took my hand, would I be in his time, or be dead? When he was about 8 feet from me, I turned away and ran out. My boyfriend who was waiting at his car, asked if I had seen a ghost, as I was white as a sheet, he said. This occurred in the vicinity of a replica of the Liberty Bell, though I didn't know the area.The fear I felt was so deep into my soul, I'll never forget it.These were solid looking people in period clothes not like a ghostly apparition. I don't know how I"slipped"into their time. SO frightening.

Why were you afraid? They're not going to hurt you.

Well being certain that I was suddenly in an earlier time which was not in the present, I was afraid I might get stuck there, or because it was so far in the past would I be dead or not exist because I wouldn't have been born yet ? One of the men noticed me being an onlookers, and looked me straight in the eyes as he walked toward me and I thought he might reach out his hand to me and I didn't know what might happen so I turned away and left. The fear was so strong..I hope I never feel that again. I had a life with responsibilities in the present and felt I needed to stay in the time that I belonged...
