Southern Africa Unexplained

Case No 48 · UFO Afrinews No 8, Sept. 1993

Gamida (An Addition to her Story in UFO Afrinews 7)

1987 · Johannesburg area, Johannesburg, South Africa

What was reported

Gamida, an anonymous South African woman, adds to the account printed in issue 7. From 1987 she felt caught between two forces, one evil and one benign, and feared she was hallucinating until she heard Hind discuss David Jacobs' book Secret Life on Radio 702. In the early hours she would feel vibrations, slip into a dream-like or hypnotic state, sense figures beside her touching her face, kissing her forehead or working at her mouth, and be unable to scream or move. She says she was repeatedly raped but never saw anyone; the assaults stopped after spiritualists told her it was witchcraft. Later episodes involved her jaw being forced wide, leaving a click needing medical care, something put into her ear, her teeth checked, and a fluttering in her chest that preceded a lumpectomy whose tissue puzzled her surgeon. Her last experience was 27 October 1991.

What Hind made of it

Hind believes the experiences are ongoing but has lost touch; she refuses to push a case needing such sensitivity, respects Gamida's wish for total anonymity for the time being, and expects it will eventually serve a purpose.
