Is This A Sign Of The Times? (INSIGHT: THE GHOST)

Three days ago, Annalee Tutta, had been suffering from migraine headaches. She decided to go to the doctor and he prescribed a medication for her, which she thought would help with the symptoms. He also recommended a road trip. The doctor knew of a beautiful place to get away where she and her husband could even take the kids.

She looked around for the “signs” and couldn’t find any, but, she could feel that something wasn’t right inside. Her husband tried to reassure her that things would be fine, but it wasn’t long before a few of the locals pulled up beside them at the station. They wore the sign on their jackets.
