"Man in the long black coat"
Just whom is the "man in the long black coat" ? Many individuals have seen this man, although many do not wish to admit it. Those whom have seen him, know whom they are. Why is this ?
The first time an individual will see the "man in the long black coat" is in their dreams. He is tall. He wears a long black duster type of coat. He wears what appears to be a black or dark cowboy type of hat. He also wears dark black boots. No one can describe this man's face because it is always black as night or so dark that no individual is able to describe his facial features. I do feel, however, that a brother- in- law of mine has captured an image of a man's apparition upon a rock near a lake in North Carolina which shows a very tall, large broad shouldered, rustic man. The man appears to be wearing rustic cowboy clothing and his face does appear upon the rock. The image was taken by my brother- in- law using his digital camera which was set on a timer. He was unaware of the capture at the time of the photograph. He was actually looking at the lake and kneeling down toward the water with his dog. The man's image appears upon an enormous large boulder behind him. It was months later when I viewed the image that I saw this man's image. I didn't even think about the "man in the long black coat" until months later when more and more images began to appear in his photographs of a wide variety of entities.
My brother-in-law visits a particular lake in North Carolina for camping trips. He takes multiple digital snapshots as a photographer. His photographs are quite fantastic. I've never seen anyone capture as many "spiritual" entities on images like this individual can. They appear at random and they are literally all over the area in which he visits. It's the most amazing thing.
"Man in the long black coat" means death ?
Does the "man in the long black coat mean death ?
There are many versions by multiple individuals as to whom they believe this man is and what they believe this man means to them. I have my own belief as to whom he is; What his symbolizes and what his purpose is. This man does not travel alone. He always comes with a helper to do his bidding, while he stands to the side watching. I, myself, have seen this man several times in my dreams and then after he visited me in my dreams, I saw him in person inside of my home. I will explain the circumstances (again) as to his purpose of his visit at my home and why I believe he comes calling. I do not believe the "man in the long black coat" is a part of the dark force. However, I do believe he does represent "death".
The "man in the long black coat" does not mean he is coming to take you away for the "dark force"...but he IS coming to lead you to either warn you of impending "death"...to "mark" you for death or to lead you to death's door step. If his helper tells you "no more bells, buttons or bows" and his helper puts a gun to your head or "shoots you dead" by aiming a gun at you in some fashion ..... this represents the fact that you are what is called a "three striker".
You have just been "marked" by the man "in the long black coat" whom represents death. If you only see this man in your dreams and you have NOT been shot in your dreams by his helper and you have NOT heard the words in your dream/s....then you are not yet on your third strike. However, the fact you have seen this man at least once....is a warning...to you, the individual...your at least on either your 1st strike or 2nd strike or you are being warned in some manner. No individual will see this man unless they have been at death's door in some fashion.
What is a THREE STRIKER ?
A "three striker" is someone whom has seen the "man in the long black coat" repeatedly in their dreams vividly and to the point that the dreams are as though they are awake. The dreams are so vivid in fact, the individual can recite what happened as though they happened either today, yesterday or last night. They will be able to recall exactly what was said; exactly the colors, the sounds and the smells as though they were in real time. Why is this ? Because the dream isn't a dream. The "man in the long black coat came calling with his helper and you've not had a dream. You've had an experience with not only him...but his helper.
A "three striker" will not only be "shot" by the "man in the long black coat's" helper in some fashion
(in my case, the helper put a handgun to my forehead, then pulled the trigger while saying "no more bells, buttons or bows" . However, the woman didn't say it with words. It was expressed through thought during the dream.) The "man in the long black coat" will never do his own bidding. It is always the helper whom does the dirty deed. The tall, large broad shouldered man stands far to the side, watching to ensure that the deed is completed.
After the triggered is pulled, some individuals can die in their sleep (in which the divine white light will appear for them (Those individuals are called "The blessed") if it is their time or other individuals will awaken to shout out and know the man has come calling. In my case, I woke up immediately and recalled exactly what had transpired. I remembered calling my brother and asking him about what was said because I didn't understand why those words were expressed to me. I described this man and the woman to him. My brother had told me the meaning of the sentence and it made sense to me.....
"No more bells, buttons or bows" What does it mean ?
As was described to me by my brother, the above means, that's it. Everything is taken away by the "man in the long black coat". It's over. No more of anything if you are told this by the man's helper. The helper does this man's bidding by shooting you and will mentally tell you those words. This man only comes calling when you are at death's door.
As one individual describes in his blog, he writes "He (
meaning the "man in the long black coat") is a man who has visited almost every family, neighborhood, community, society, and nation. His history dates back to the very beginning of the history of man. He is present at different parts of the world at the same time. He walks in the shadows of silence. He is the invincible man in a long black coat; he is popular called DEATH."

"man in the long black coat on horseback"
According to definition of Bow Bells, the "Cockney"said someone is born within earshot of "Bow bells" ...ie...the bells of St. Mary-Le-Bow church in Cheapside, in the city of London, which is not itself in the east side. The bells were silent from the outbreak of World War II until 1961.
I wasn't actually able to find a true definition of the expression "no more bells, buttons or bows" to the meaning. I do understand the meaning as expressed by my brother because it made more sense to me. From the individuals I've personally spoken to whom have also been visited by this same man and his helper, the meaning makes more sense to me. Many individuals whom have been visited by this man have had near death experiences, just as I have had. After they did, this man came calling.
When the "man in the long black coat" came calling for me, I had been very ill with type 2 diabetes. However, I didn't know it at the time. I had been ill for months prior to his coming to my seeing him in person. The "man in the long black coat" had visited me in my dreams multiple times with his helper prior to my actually seeing him in person, inside of my home on the final day. Prior to my seeing him in person inside of my home, my final dream of his helper shooting me was to let me know without a doubt, I was a "three striker". Basically "three striker" is like playing a game of chess with someone and being told "check mate". The game is over. Only with a game of chess, you can play the game repeatedly without any fears. When the "man in the long black coat" comes calling and the individual sees him in person AFTER his helper shoots him or her.....with the uttered words
"No more bells, buttons or bows"
The game is over. That's it. It is now time to make peace with whatever it is you wish to make peace with within the time frame that you have left. Your three strikes are up. The "man in the long black coat" has seen you. You have seen him. He knows it. You know it. You have both seen each other. There are no doubts the meeting. The man will come again when its time.
Whom are the "Three strikers" ? How do they know they are "Three Strikers" ?
Individuals whom are "Three strikers" are very well aware of whom they are. As described above, they have seen the "man in the long black coat" and they have been "shot" by the man's helper and have heard those exact words as described above only when they are on their last strike. This man only appears in person to an individual when they are near death or having a death experience. That is the only way an individual will "see" this man as a "human being". Otherwise this man will only appear in dreams as a warning to individuals. This man does not have his helper "shoot" individuals unless they are on their third strike. An individual may be warned that they are on their first or second strike as a warning. They will be able to describe this "man in the long black coat" because he is a very tall man and is very unforgettable once you have seen him in your dreams. When you have seen him in person and have been shot by his helper, it is an experience you will never forget.
"Man in the long black coat...some call him "Hat Man"
Some call this man "Hat Man" . I've often read blogs or articles where individuals describe him as "Hat Man". That's because they are not able to describe his face. Only the fact he wears a long duster type black coat; black boots and a very tall black hat. One man I spoke to described him as having black curly hair with a long pony tail. When I saw him in person at my home, I thought the man had a thick dark beard.
In fact, when I first saw this "man in the long black coat", I thought at first it was my spouse standing at my stove in the kitchen because the only light that was on was the stove light below my microwave. I had placed my spouse's dinner inside the microwave and I was laying on my bed with my dogs...watching television. I was extremely ill with what I had thought was the flu. I didn't know I was only 40 points away from going into a diabetic coma and dying. For several weeks I was very ill and my internal system told me something was very wrong. I had gone to my VA doctor multiple times whom told me it was just the flu. I knew it was more than that but I listened to the doctor. I was near hysterics by that day and I went to bed early. I was laying in bed with my dogs surrounding me....like a den mother they didn't want to leave my side. I was having difficulty breathing and I felt so very sick I just wanted to lay there and sleep. I heard something near the stove and saw this tall, large man standing there. It was dark so all I could see was his forehead skin. I thought I saw a thick dark beard so I assumed it was my spouse coming home and standing at the stove just looking at me. The television was on so I couldn't really hear what was going on...but I wasn't that far from where the kitchen was or the stove, for that matter. I yelled out that the dinner was in the microwave but the man said nothing. So I turned my attention back to the television. My dogs just laid next to me and continued to sleep. The man just stood there looking at me and this annoyed me greatly. I wondered why my "spouse" was just standing there staring at me and not saying anything and this went on for some time. It probably wasn't long...but it seemed like it was. I called out my spouse's name several times without this man saying anything back to me. After I got very angry and annoyed, I got up out of bed and then my dogs jumped up out of bed and ran straight toward the living room.
When my dogs did this, I stopped immediately in my tracks before I got to my bedroom door. I then knew something was wrong. I've gone on multiple Ghost Hunting excursions before and knew this wasn't right. Had the man been my spouse, my dogs would have gone straight to him at the stove. What I saw was an apparition of what appeared to be a human being. The man was NOT real. Not only that....suddenly...the hairs on my arms were standing straight upward!
"visitation"
How do you know you've had a Ghostly Visitation ?
I knew immediately that I had just had a real encounter with a man standing at the stove inside of my kitchen which was an apparition. As I went toward the kitchen, I walked around to the side. As I did so, the "man in the long black coat" glided out of the kitchen and into the laundry room and was gone. I do have a back door in the laundry room but it was never opened. I ran from the kitchen to the living room to grab the phone and I called my spouse to see if he was at work. Of course he was at work. I could hear the noise of his job behind his voice. It was obvious I was still alone in my home with only my dogs. The door in the laundry room never opened or closed. The man never went through the door being opened or closed. He simply vanished. Yes, I was shaken by the experience because I had never had an experience quite like this before. I've gone on multiple Ghost Hunts. I've captured multiple EVPs and have been excited by them! I've never experienced anything like this.
What happens AFTER the visitation from the "man in the long black coat" ?
Walking with the divine light of the cosmic universe
A very strange thing happens after an individual is personally greeted by the "man in the long black coat". After seeing this man at my home, I wanted to know whom he was. I wanted to know if other individuals have seen him in their dreams; have seen him in person. I've been very curious about him to the point I want to know more about him and whom he is. What he does exactly and what his purpose is. I've always been connected with a spiritual guide. She has guided me along my way since I was 2 years old. I've always been am empathic individual whom can read Tarot cards; I can feel the energy vibrations of other individuals when they are within a certain space of mine and I can also see entities within images/photograhs as well. My spiritual guide shares quite a bit of information with me through visions and dreams.
There is a down side to opening doors. Once opened, they can't be closed. Those whom are "awakened" as I am...know this to be a fact. "Three strikers" can confirm the same information as I am blogging. Those whom have met this "man in the long black coat" will also confirm what I am blogging, as well. The most amazing thing I came to realize is that my spiritual guide revealed herself to me by name after the "man in the long black coat" revealed himself to me in person. After both revealed themselves to me, I became more awakened to more information. My "third eye" was MORE awakened than ever.
As I came to this realization, I began to cry. Why was this ? Because as I was excited to have finally more information about the cosmic universe (as I had always wanted more information revealed unto me for years) I was at the same time so very sad at the realization I was nearing my end times. No individual is revealed the name of their spiritual guide.....no individual is met in person the "man in the long black coat" unless they are on their "third strike". While happy that so much information is finally being revealed to me, I am extremely saddened at the same time. Hopefully that makes sense to those whom have shared my experience.
Please do not try to connect the "man in the long black coat" with the dark force. He is not one and the same. While YES, he will hand deliver you to the dark force if an individual has taken the life of another......that is not this man's purpose or his helper. It is my belief that this man's purpose merely represents "death" and that his helper is the one whom "marks" the individual for "death". The man will come calling again and if this man's helper has shot you, trust me, you have been "marked" for death if the words "no more buttons, bells or bows" have been uttered to the individual. Such as myself. The individual is what is called a "Three Striker". The game of "life" is over.
What is the Dark Force ? What is the Divine Light ?
As described to me through my spiritual guide, there can not be one without the other. Just as there is Divine light....there is the dark force. Just because an individual does not obey the dark force....does not walk with the dark force doesn't mean they should deny that side doesn't exist. Every human being must accept the reality that the dark force is a force to be reckoned with. If one accepts the fact that the Divine light exists....then they must accept the fact that the dark force exists as well.
If you wish to be protected by the Divine Light so that you do not wish the Dark Force not to be your savior, each and every day, place your hands in a fold....bow your head then say to the dark force the following words:
"I do not obey you. I do not walk with you. I do acknowledge you and I respect your existance. I follow the divine light. I obey only the divine light. I walk only with the divine light of love. I only have the divine light of love in my heart."
An individual whom has seen the "man in the long black coat" will always have challenges on a daily or near daily basis. The individual will always be challenged by the dark force after the individual has stated they are "blessed"; have survived a near death experience based upon some "miracle" or has stated outloud or on a constant basis has continued to state they ONLY walk with the divine white light of love. Why is this ? Why do YOU think that is ? It's logical.
The dark force is a force to be reckoned with. There are many whom have sold their souls to the dark force and many don't even know they've done it. Many KNOW they've done it and are proud of themselves for doing it. Those individuals are called "runners" and those individuals are "marked" by the demon. Individuals such as myself can see the "demon".....the "dark force" if you will.....through images/photographs and I am here to tell you that you have to be a really bad person for this entity to be just steps behind you or always watching you. No individuals has a demon always appearing in their images; hovering over their beds or lurking in their homes unless they've committed a great sin unto another human being. They've done something so bad toward another human being to unleash that entity and I would NOT want to be that person, let me tell you!
The dark force never unleashes the "demon" unto a human being unless they've committed murder or a sin so badly unto another human being that the person is constantly having dark shadows hovering over their bed and/or they are being constantly being followed to the point, they feel they are being driven "mad"...."insane" and having to be placed on medication to queel the voices inside of their head. Doctors have names for what's going on with these people. But if you speak to these people, they will tell you that they are being driven insane by a "demon" telling them that they were TOLD to do this...that and the other...to others. It is but the "dark force" working its "magic" via its minions. Doctors use other words for what's going on inside of these human beings head........but the truth is... that's the dark force at work. As told to me through my spiritual guide.
Case in point....the guy who went to the movie theatre and shot all of those people and called himself the "Joker". Doctors are claiming he is mentally ill. In all reality, it was merely the dark force at work. In every case where human beings get out of control and do these horrific things to others, it is the dark force taking over and these human beings are simply what are called "minions". The "minions" are doing the dirty deeds for the dark force. Just as human beings do the good deeds for the Divine white light of love. We call them "angels". The good helpers whom just happen to come along at the right time. These loving human beings just "happen" to be at the right place. At the right time to save someone's life. Ever hear of those cases ? There was no one around when someone was near death ? But out of the blue there appeared someone whom happened to be a nurse. Or a fireman or woman. A rescue person. They saved someone's life. Many instances like this. Those are the "helpers"....the "angels" of the divine white light of love. If you speak to those individuals, I am positive that they also had seen the "man in the long black coat" prior to their accident or incident.
demonic image
Why can individuals see "demons" within images or photographs ?
I once spoke to a man whom I determined was a "runner". I am able to detect individuals whom I call "runners" based upon images or photographs that they show me. I don't always see entities in an image that are shown to me by someone. But many times if someone hands me a photograph or shows an image to me...hands a photograph to me, I can pretty much tell what's going on by looking at it. The image above, I found online. It isn't mine nor did I circle it. Someone saw a demonic entity within the image. I will state that this is not only what I see in the image of what the individual drew on the image. I see what they drew.....but look BEHIND what they drew! The person whom drew the image failed to spot the most important part of the entire image. They failed to notice much more going on with this image!! There's an entire story going on here!
Look behind what the person drew. There is ANOTHER entity with its head pulled back spewing an entire BILLOW of ash upward into the sky!! Not only that ? Take a look at the entire building coming down appearing like it is being peeled like a banana! That "demon" with the head is nothing
compared to the "demon" spewing all of the ashy smoke into the sky and peeling that entire building downward like a damned banana!!! That image is telling an entire story! So the individual whom drew that tiny little demon head didn't realize there's an entire story going on with the above image.
When I see an image.......... I am able to see an entire story going on. One time when I met this man, he showed an image to me. I told him to put on his sunglasses. It wasn't for his benefit. It was for mine. I didn't want to see the reality of what his image really revealed to me. I knew immediately HE was a "runner". HE was being chased by a demon. I saw the damned thing straddling the entire top of a waterfall. Not only that, the demon's minion was IN the water not far from where he had taken the photograph and the minion was not far behind what I saw was a woman in the water. Her mouth was open as though she was reaching out and screaming. Was she screaming for help ? Did this man put this woman in the river ? Was it a lake ? The "woman" was not an actual woman mind you. It was water in the form of a woman. I saw her all the same. She was closest to him. She was reaching out to him, all the same. Her head was tilted and her mouth was open as though she was screaming.
As I described this photograph/image to this man...he kept telling me to "hush" but I did not. His iphone kept closing and I kept telling him to open it back up so I could continue to view the image so I could continue to describe what I saw. He asked me for my opinion...so I was going to conclude my opinion. I did not tell him I felt he was a "runner"...but indeed...that is my conclusion. Did this individual place a woman in a lake or a river where the waterfall was ? I can't conclude my personal opinion of this one way or the other. He told me what lake it was and where he took the photograph. However, because I told him to put on his sunglasses (it was at night and we were in a club) the name was intentionally blocked from my memory. I do this on purpose so certain details of images/photographs or information are blocked from my memory if they become too graphic.
If an individual is pyschic or an empathic and they are able to pick up energy vibrations from others; if they are able to see entities within photographs or images and someone has asked you to view their images/photograhs to give them a reading, simply ask the individual whom is sharing the information to place their sunglasses on and the information be blocked from your memory. Sunglasses will help block negative energy from affecting you in a personal manner if you are indoors whether it is day or night. I've found this to be very helpful. I recall particular details about this man's photograph but not names, etc. That is because I deliberately blocked names and particular details out of my recall memory on purpose. I simply didn't want to know or recall the information in case it was true this individual did place a woman in the river or a lake...ie..where the photograph was taken. I don't know the individual and have no clue whom the person is. It was just someone whom wanted me to view the image and I suppose wanted to "test" my abilities on seeing "entities".
Many times when someone speaks with another about entities; ghosts and ghostly matters, they are either like-minded or they seem to want to challenge you. I've come across both sides. I am very matter of fact when it comes to reading images; reading tarot cards and talking about what it is I know to be true. My mind will never be changed about what has been revealed to me through my spirit guide. I know what I know because of her and what has been revealed to me from the other side. No one will ever change my mind regardless of what is said.
Multiple individuals have met the "man in the long black coat" and Bob Dylan wrote the song as well as sang the song called "man in the long black coat" :
