Southern Africa Unexplained

Case No 81 · UFO Afrinews No 10, August 1994

Odd Sequel to Sandra's Story: the silent man and the stopped clocks

Muizenberg, Cape Town (sequel at Sandra's workplace), South Africa

What was reported

Case 81 in AFRINEWS No 9 told of two people walking on Muizenberg beach who watched a light behaving very oddly and then saw a man come out of the sea acting most strangely. Sandra later went back to investigator Pam Puxley with a sequel. She works with mentally handicapped adults, one of whom had never made any sound at all. Back at work after her sighting, she heard this man scream horribly in the middle of the garden and then utter a single word. As he did so, every one of the building's three clocks stopped dead at 12 o'clock, and so did her battery wristwatch. Hind doubts any link to the beach light but prints it because it shows how sensitive Sandra is to people and their thoughts, which may explain her reaction to the man in the water.

What Hind made of it

Hind feels it has nothing to do with the beach sighting but reveals Sandra's sensitivity to people and their thoughts.

In their words

  • It was 12 o'clock, and even Sandra's battery-powered wristwatch stopped... all at the same time!

  • She is obviously very sensitive to people and their thoughts; which might account for her reaction to the man in the water!

    Clocks and watches stopped: Karen and Sandra, both April-May 1993, both Puxley cases. The shared investigator, who may have asked the question, is the simplest common factor.

The sea light at Muizenberg and the man in the vlei

A white light over False Bay put a thin beam on the water, then rushed the beach. Walking back, Sandra found a barefoot man thigh-deep in the vlei, facing it.
