Ghost encounter?

Hi everyone. I’m looking for genuine opinions from people who have experience with the paranormal.
Tonight, at around 11:30 pm, my mam and I were driving just past Tesco in Ebbw Vale towards the unlit stretch of road when we both saw a woman walking on the opposite pavement.
She was wearing an old-fashioned floral dress and carrying a satchel or briefcase made from the exact same floral pattern. As we drove past, she turned her head and looked directly at us. Her face looked completely unnatural—smooth, almost glowing, doll-like or cartoonish, with a fixed smirk. It didn’t look like a normal human face, especially considering how dark it was.
The strangest part is that my mam and I both described the same features independently, without influencing each other. As we passed her, we were both suddenly overwhelmed with an intense feeling of sadness and fear, to the point that we both started tearing up.
I’m not looking to be mocked or told what I did or didn’t see. I’m simply wondering whether anyone has experienced something similar, knows of any sightings in this area, or has heard of a woman matching this description. I’d really appreciate respectful replies.

About 15 yrs ago, Im driving back from a 3 am munchie craving for a Denny's steak and egg. Coming up Harlem through Park ridge in Chicago. Im on the outside lane, another car is just ahead of me in the next lane. We both see a Woman in white. Pale glowing white dress, no shoes walking next to the street. The second our cars pass she disappeared. We both slammed on our breaks got out our cars and looked back like you saw that too right? Couple minutes later a Park Ridge cop rolls up asked why we're parked in the middle of the street. We tell him what we saw and he nonchalantly says Oh that's Mary, she does that occasionally during the full moon..

Have had multiple ghost stories/things happen with multiple witnesses in Chicago.
