This is my only real Fortean experience, and I haven't really discussed it much before except with my partner.
About 8 or 9 years ago my partner and I were in a small coastal village in Dumfries and Galloway. It's a place we are familiar with as have family in the area, so know it quite well.
We were stood at the sea front which is separated from the nearest buildings in the village by a field perhaps 50m square which has no real features, being flat and unremarkable. What I mean is there is nothing between the shoreline apart from a grassed field, and at the other side of the field are some houses/businesses with their back gardens/walls backing onto the field. I hope this makes sense! The grass in the field is also short, likely mown on a regular basis, so isn't meadow-like.
My partner and I both saw an elderly couple walking across this field towards us, perhaps halfway across. They were probably aged 60 plus (not to offend anyone, I use elderly to give some context), and as such were moving fairly slowly. Nothing very noteworthy so far, but when I turned away briefly and turned back, the couple had gone. My partner also noticed this was strange, as there was no where they could have obviously disappeared to, and in such a short period of time. The field is flat and would perhaps have taken a minute or so to walk to a location where you could no longer be seen. The period between seeing the couple and not was less than that time, and regardless, it seemed odd that the couple would do an about turn when they were heading directly towards us. Not impossible, but unlikely, unless my face really is that offensive!
When discussing with my partner, they couple did not seem recognisable to either of us. We were the only people at the location besides them, the weather was not great as I recall, and its a very quiet small village too, so this was not unusual.
Anyway, I hope this is of interest to some on here and that it makes sense! I've never been able to explain it and there may be a perfectly rational explanation, but odd nonetheless.

if you feel able to say which village, I'd really enjoy it!
