An eerie video of a mysterious yellow-clad man walking down a road in Ireland has prompted police to step up their patrols of the area in the hopes of finding the peculiar phantom. According to a local media report, Gerard McFerran encountered the weird individual during a drive in late December. As seen in the video below, the witness was taken aback when he spotted the stranger, who was wearing a long coat, pants, and boots that were all yellow. Chillingly, the man was also adorned with a mask and a black wig.
Mystified by the individual's odd appearance, McFadden attempted to find out what he was doing but was ultimately left with more questions than answers. "I asked him why he was dressed like that, but he mostly ignored me and just kept walking," the bewildered witness recalled, "all he said was that 'it wasn't him', that he couldn't get the mask off, and that he had been staying with a friend after getting a train up here." Ultimately, McFadden mused that "it was all very strange and made no sense at all."
After the footage of his curious encounter was posted online, the video spread like wildfire on local social media with many wondering who the 'yellow man' was and why he was wandering down the road. In response to concerns voiced by residents, police indicated that they had increased their patrols of the area where the "suspicious" individual was seen and called upon the public to report the mysterious person should they stumble upon him.
