A weird thing happened over the weekend. Jo and I drove past a pond near our home and saw something really strange. Usually, there are cows standing in the pond, up to their chests. This time was different. This time, there was a guy walking on top of the water, and it looked kind of like he was following a path or pattern formed by algae on the pond surface. After a few steps, it seemed like sparks were flashing around his feet and lower legs. It seemed to be getting harder and harder for him to move forward.
My curiosity was really piqued, so we pulled off to the side of the road to watch this... this... whatever it was. He finally got to the center of the pond, and after a few seconds he looked around and then just disappeared.
By the time he was halfway through his walk, we'd pulled out our cameras. We tried to take some photos of this guy as he walked along the pattern on the water, but they just looked wavery and you couldn't make out anything. It was almost like a veil was pulled over him. This photo is what the pond looked like after he disappeared.
Ere long, we realized he wasn't coming back, so we drove on home.
Really weird. It really was the strangest thing to happen all day.
