The three women decided to cut down a dark alley to Church street as they were approaching a bend in the alley, and they noticed someone walking towards them dressed as a"cavalier". The figure "floated" towards them. 

They could not see his features, for he was outlined against the light at the entrance to the nearest Church, but he was wearing a large plumed hat and a cloak (a full suit for a cavalier).

As the figure approached them, they had an overwhelming need to press against the wall until it passed. When they reached the end of the alley, the witnesses looked back, but the figure had disappeared.
