Person dressed in a long black cloak (wild imagination/ hallucination or am i just crazy?)

This happened a very long time ago when I was a kid, my dad dropped me off at my cousin's house, they live 30 minutes away, so the drive was pretty quick, sort of. Their House was located in the middle of the rice field, and the field was bare because they harvested it several days before my dad dropped me off here.

(Fast forward) It was about Noon, Me and my cousin was playing outside the house with our toys, pretending that we were running a restaurant, and when I turned around to pick up the doll that was supposedly our customer, a person was standing right in front of me (I don't know if they were a male or female so I'll just call them "person" or "they")

I was surprised to see that there was a person standing there, they were dressed in a long black cloak, I couldn't see their face despite the day light and they were also holding a scythe, so I just stood there looking up to this person towering over me but I wasn't alarmed, but rather surprised and confused, wondering if they need help like maybe they were lot and is asking for a direction? My cousin then noticed the person standing there and went to my side and asked me who this person is, and i told her that i don't know them and that i just saw them, maybe they need help? or maybe was here for our aunt.

My cousin then shrugged and went back to playing while i just stood there in front of the person and I began to feel scared, and played with my fingers waiting for them to say something but they didn't, feeling awkward I decided to ask them a question "hello, do you need anything? are you lost?" I asked. But they didn't answer and so I asked another question thinking that maybe they were hungry and was just shy to ask for food "Are you hungry? I have a banana, do you want one?" I asked, but still no answer, maybe they were really just shy, so I turned around and walked towards the wooden chair by the back door of the house and grabbed one banana before going back to the person, and at this time my cousin already went inside the house leaving me alone with this person.

I held the banana in front of them and urged them to take it, but they just stood there and did not even utter a word, and about maybe a couple minutes, they reached their hand out, and I remember seeing it pale...like ghostly pale, and when it touched my hand it was very cold, it's like touching a block of ice, and also the hands were wrinkled, suggesting that they were an old person, after they got the banana out of hand, they didn't walked away or said anything and just stood there in silence, And a moment later I heard footsteps rushing towards the back door and the door swung open and I turned around to see my aunt, and then I told her about the person, but when I turned to look at the person, they were gone, leaving me confused and my aunt just pulled me by my arm and led me inside the house and scolding me because it was already noon and we needed to take our afternoon nap(we were kids so napping at noon is pretty common here).

And that's the end of it, but now that I think about it, it was creepy as hell, because if I saw that person walking towards us while me and my cousin played, I would've noticed them, and the way they disappeared like a bubble made me realize that it wasn't really a person? because like I have said, my aunt's house is in the middle of the rice field and surely, I would've seen them approaching me and my cousin or walking in a direction away from the house and not disappear like a bubble.

I know it's sounds crazy, but this really did happen, and i don't know if it's just a wild illusion or imagination...what do you guys think?
