Encounters x331 - Visits from the Grim Reaper

We like to imagine the Grim Reaper as a helpful and misunderstood entity, clocking in for a very intense job. But after these stories… we’re not so sure. We’re getting into listener encounters that range from oddly funny to deeply unsettling, all circling the same shadowy figure who seems to show up a little too early and a little too often. Grim Reaper appearances include: A shadowy, eight-foot figure appears beside a listener’s bed before returning in a dream to whisper “it is your time.” A hooded presence repeatedly appears throughout a listener’s life during a series of near-death experiences. An unseen “man in black” pacing closer and closer to a hospital patient throughout a nurse’s shift before the patient suddenly passes. A hooded entity sitting beside an apparition of a deceased relative at a funeral, sharing a quiet, eerie moment before vanishing.
