Some Intimate Encounters ('Irrira'): the bedside visitor

What was reported

'Irrira', a Vanuatu-born woman living in South Africa, 48 in 1989, describes the first of several contacts. Lying awake about 2 am, she turned over and found a man standing by her bed in a soft, silvery metallic hooded track-suit with two small aerials on the hood. She felt her whole body vibrating in tune with him and greeted him as if long expected, but he said only 'Peace be unto you, my child'; when she complained that he told her nothing he vanished at once. Her husband joked about it next morning. Two weeks later she woke sure they were back; he was already awake, felt them too, and showed her the hairs on his legs standing on end. Neither saw anything that time.

What Hind made of it

Presented as 'another case in point' of intimate contacts over a period, following the Oberholzer case; no verdict offered.

In their words

• all he said was, 'Peace be unto you, my child.' That was all.

• the whole vibration of my body was in tune with him, like a physical vibration.

• 'Look at the hairs on my legs, they are all standing on edge.'
