Strange 'Visitor'

What was reported

Susan, then about twelve or thirteen, had moved with her family to a new house in Masvingo after her father's death, during Zimbabwe's war of independence. Resting on her bed one afternoon between one and two, lying the wrong way round on her stomach facing the window, she fell asleep and woke as someone walked into the room. She could see a tall male figure in a dark one-piece outfit but was completely unable to move. He said nothing and stood looking at her, lit from behind by a light she now thinks too bright for daylight; she recalls no facial features. He then disappeared, the paralysis lifted, and she ran to the kitchen demanding to know why the maid had let a stranger in; the maid denied anyone had entered and her brother laughed, though her mother worried because of the war. Susan had forgotten the episode until hearing Hind discuss American abductions on radio.

What Hind made of it

Hind says more must be learned about Susan's visitor but hypnosis of any kind is banned in Zimbabwe without a doctor's note.

In their words

• She could see the entity but she could not move; it was as though she was paralyzed.

• The man then disappeared.

• hypnosis, regressive or any other, is banned in Zimbabwe without a doctor's note recommending it for medical purposes.
