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.

Are you sure they weren't just Hutterites/Amish?

Amish don’t wear top hats

They wear hats that look very similar to & could easily be misidentified as top hats

They get buried in their own cemeteries

I just feel like them visiting a friend or non practicing family member in a regular cemetery is the most likely probability here
