"I never in my life had seen a man so pale, he was dressed in essentially an all-black suit, with a matching fedora hat and large sunglasses."
I received the following account:
"Hello, Mr. Strickler. Thanks for taking my email. When I was around 10 years old I was raised primarily by my grandparents who lived in a rural area of Cass County in East Texas. I'll never forget one day when a most unusual man unexpectedly came by the house one afternoon.
I remember there being a knock at the door as I was playing in the living room at the time and called out to announce to my grandparents someone was at the door. My grandmother took a quick peek out the front window before answering the door and I remember glimpsing at a very dark-colored or black sedan (unsure of the type) parked outside. Thinking back I find it odd at the time I couldn't recall hearing it pull up as I had been playing near that window for some time.
My grandmother answered the door and to the best of my recollection, the man revealed himself to be some sort of door-to-door salesman. My grandmother invited him in and called for my grandfather. I never in my life had seen a man so pale, he was dressed in essentially an all-black suit, with a matching fedora hat and large sunglasses which initially made me wonder if he wasn't blind. He also had one of the saddest excuses for toupee I've yet to bear witness to. I was totally transfixed on the man and couldn't get over the stark contrast of his pale skin to his seemingly drawn-on with lipstick this pinkish lips.
My fixation became apparent and my grandmother shooed me into a back room to leave the men to talk so to speak uninterrupted. Throughout the visit, I kept trying to sneak peeks at the man and commented to my grandmother whether or not she thought he was sick as he was so pale and thin.
Eventually, I suppose he finished his pitch and eventually made his way quite slowly for an exit. I recall as he was leaving he seemingly thanked both my grandparents. I couldn't make out everything that was said but I recall he did something more odd than his appearance. He seemed to pass his hands in front of both of my grandparents' faces and said something to both but all I could make out was the word "forget" and soon was on his way. My grandparents seemed to be momentarily in a dull fog after closing the door and quietly pulling off (never saw him drive off). I immediately asked them who was that man and they looked at each other and said, "What man?"
Now as you can understand all three of us were quite baffled having no recollection of a visitor and me having no rational explanation as to how in the hell they couldn't remember that fricking wack a doo-looking salesman! I went on for weeks asking them who the man was and trying to jog their memory and as always they said there was no one. They even went as far as to say I was mixing up another business acquaintance of my grandfather and had him drop by one day, but I assured them there was no way I could confuse the two as the man in question was paler than Gollum in the LOTR trilogy and their friend was nothing of the sort.
I had almost forgotten about the incident entirely until watching a show related to a MIB theme and it came back to me. As recent as a year ago I tried to bring it up again when I was home visiting and my grandfather didn't remember a thing while my grandmother again didn't recall the strange man but vividly remembers me asking for weeks on end about a strange man neither of them ever remembered setting foot in the house. This happened back in the mid-90s and I'm in my early 40s now. Looking back a lot of the details aren't as crisp but I know what I saw." S
