<div dir="ltr"><div><font size="4">"A grandmother in Scotland was inadvertently swept up in the <a href="https://www.coasttocoastam.com/article/plague-doctor-craze-sweeps-across-uk/" target="_blank">phantom plague doctor craze</a>
that has gripped the United Kingdom when a bewildered witness mistook
her for one of the menacing strangers due to her long black coat. The
weird case of mistaken identity <a href="https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/news/6943530/scots-plague-doctor-innocent-gran-black-coat/" target="_blank">reportedly</a>
occurred last week in the city of Newton Stewart as Jean Matheson was
innocently going about her business while clad in what is apparently one
of her favorite overcoats. Unbeknownst to her at the time, a concerned
resident caught sight of her from behind and was convinced that the
community was the latest to be visited by the eerie 'plague doctors'
that have been popping up throughout the United Kingdom."
