As Above So Below
Strange Encounters with Mysterious Men in White
By Brent Swancer
Everyone knows about the Men in Black, those nefarious strangers in their black suits that prowl the fringes of our imaginations and dominate the landscape of truly bizarre paranormal encounters. While Men in Black are spooky enough, there seems to be a subset of reports that detail the phenomena of conversely men in white suits, and while there is no known connection at all to these two and the cases of Men in White are far rarer, it gives us a look into some weird reports that are really hard to categorize.
Some of these encounters with men or apparitions in white suits have a decidedly sinister atmosphere to them, some sense of menace permeating them. One of these is a report from a witness who says this all started when he was dropped off at school one day by his mother, on by all appearances was looking to be just another ordinary day. As he was exiting the car, he says he had a vision of an ominous individual standing across the road, of which he says:
This was very alarming to him, but since it seemed as if his mother had not seen the entity, nor did anyone else, he decided to stay quiet about it, all the while wondering if he had really seen what he thought he had. However, he soon saw the mysterious stranger again, this time standing in the middle of the baseball field, and this time a friend with him saw the figure too. The individual once again vanished, and while this was all pretty unsettling it would culminate in a rather harrowing and dramatic experience a few nights later. The witness says of this:
In another, possibly even stranger encounter he had with the Men in White he says:
Was this just reading too much into things or something else? Reddit user “organic-beans” has a pretty surreal account, which apparently happened to his mother. He says one day the mom was running late to a meeting and was frustratingly stopped by a red light. As she stood there anxious for it to change so that she could continue her half sprint to her job, she noticed a man standing across the street who was impeccably dressed in an immaculate white suit, polished white shoes, and a white top hat. The strangest part of it was that no one else seemed to notice him, just sort of flowing around him and ignoring him, which was odd to say the least. The poster says:
Other reports of “Men in White” seem to be firmly in the realm of ghosts. From Your Ghost Stories is an account from the U.S. state of Virginia, from a poster related her mother’s experience. She says that one night her mother woke up in the middle of the night to something she could not explain. She says:

Who were these apparitions and what did they want? Did it even really happen at all? Not all such reports have such a terrifying or negative slant, and in other cases we have such apparitions being of a more benevolent nature. Reddit user “Reintarnation” claims to have had several encounters with what he calls “The Men in White,” who he believes to be in a sense guardian angels. One of these happened one day when he and his son had been visiting a local apple festival, parking their car on a dirt road outside of the farm. He says of his weird experience:
In another, possibly even stranger encounter he had with the Men in White he says:
Guardian angels or something else? Other strange encounters are really hard to define, and are not particularly malign or benevolent, just plain odd. From True Ghost Tales comes one such account, from a witness who at the time had just started a new job and was walking to work in broad daylight. As he was walking along he saw an eerie sight, of which he says:

What was this all about and who was that man in white? What did he want, where did he go, and what was the meaning of his cryptic remarks? It is all almost dreamlike in its bizarreness, and a similar report comes from Reddit user “m_cam88,” who says that he had been out with friends on the evening in question, walking downtown on a night with a gorgeous full moon above. At one point his friends went on to a supermarket without him as he took a rest in a nearby park to admire the view of the moon, after which he went to catch up with them at the store. It was as he went around the corner to get to the market that that he would have a rather odd experience, of which he explains:

Was this a ghost or something more? Indeed, what lies at the origins of such outlandish encounters that we have looked at here? It is quite possible that we are looking at a range of different phenomena here with such reports as we have looked at here, with none of them linked in any way except for the detail of the white suits, but they are all very strange in their own right. What is going on with such reports, and from what sort of strangeness do such encounters originate? Are these demons, ghosts, or something else? Do they have any connection to their black suited brethren? There is no way at all to know, and these impeccably dressed men in white will likely remain specters beyond our understanding.
