Mysterious woman in black seen walking across the country
Quote:
A mysterious figure dubbed 'the woman in black' who is walking alone across America has captured national attention.
Dressed in a dark, floor-length robe and carrying black luggage, the woman has already traipsed from Georgia to Ohio and keeps to herself.
No-one knows why she is walking, but speculation is rife online that she is on a religious mission.
Nobody knows the story to her. She won't talk to nobody. It's like a mysterious story on the internet,' Mossy Grove's Alexandria Schubert, who spotted the woman in east Tennessee, told WATE.
Police have identified the woman as Elizabeth Poles, 56, of Motts, Alabama. Beyond that, details are sparse.
WATE reported Poles told Sullivan County Sheriff's investigators she was from an Islamic nation and worked at the Pentagon, but they determined that wasn't true.
The Inquisitr reported that some people think she is on a 'Bible mission' and is heading to Virginia, referencing a YouTube clip in which she is seen arguing with a man about religion in a parking lot. Others think she is mentally ill.
To help solve the mystery of the 'woman in black', a Facebook page has been created to track her travels and document her mission.
'Have you seen the mysterious woman/women in black drifting through your area? We want to know! Where is she headed? What's her mission?' the page, which has more than 9,500 likes, states.
The creator of the fan page claims it wasn't meant to 'harass, stalk, endanger, or belittle this woman'.
However it traces Pole's every step, inviting people to post photos of the woman. She has already been spotted in Georgia, Ohio, Kentucky and Tennessee.
i thought it'd be one of those weird threads by the ke$ha stan
