\u00a0Here is one of those stories about a mysterious person who appears at the scene of a tragedy, make a difference, and then can\u2019t be found.<\/p>\n

+++<\/p>\n

On Sunday, August 2, around 9:00 a.m, a 19-year-old woman, Katie Lentz, was hit by a drunk driver in a small Missouri town. Badly injured but still alive, Katie was trapped between the steering wheel and the seat. A rescue vehicle arrived at the scene and workers tried for 45 minutes to extricate her from her mangled car, but to no avail.<\/p>\n

Her condition deteriorated and she finally asked the rescue workers to pray with her. That\u2019s when a priest with gray hair, dressed in black and wearing a clerical collar, appeared on the scene and offered a prayer. He told everyone to remain calm and said that when they were done praying, Katie would be freed from her car.<\/p>\n

Right after the priest finished praying for her, the fire department arrived with the equipment necessary to cut Katie free from her car. When she was pulled from the wreckage, nearly a dozen firefighters turned to thank the priest for his help. But he was nowhere to be seen.<\/p>\n

The highway where the accident occurred had been blocked for a quarter of a mile during the 90 minutes rescue and there were no bystanders and not \u00a0<\/span>a single parked car nearby. A friend of Katie\u2019s told the local new affiliate KHQA hat they were looking for the priest to thank him, but so far no one had seen him. \u00a0<\/span>He wasn\u2019t in any of the dozens of photos that were taken of the accident and no one has been able to identify him.<\/p>\n

New London Fire Chief Raymond Reed, one of the rescuers at the scene, told KHQA that it was a miracle. \u201cI would say it was either an angel that was sent to us in the form of a priest or a priest that became our angel, I don’t know. Either way, I’m good with it.”<\/p>\n

Katie\u2019s mother agrees. She told USA Today<\/em> that emergency workers said her daughter should not have lived through the crash. She believes the man may have been “an angel dressed in priests attire because the Bible tells us there are angels among us.”<\/p>\n

\u00a0The young woman remains in serious condition\u00a0 and has gone through surgery for her injuries. \u00a0The image above is a sketch artist\u2019s rendition of what the priest looked like. <\/span><\/p>\n

Stories like these have circulated for years. There’s a phenomenon called the third man factor or the third man syndrome that refers to an unseen presence – a spirit, perhaps – that provides comfort during traumatic and life-threatening experiences. But in this instance, the priest was a physical presence witnessed by others.<\/span><\/p>\n
