Brief Encounters: June B. on the operating table (October 1994)

1994 · Johannesburg (witness's home), South Africa

What was reported

Kenny MacKinnon interviewed June B. on 2 December 1994. On what she noted in her diary as the morning of 11 October 1994 she 'dreamed' she lay on a narrow operating table under a beam of light that came from nowhere and lit only her. About ten or fewer very narrow, dark, featureless beings in something like wet-suits stood around; one held her shoulders lightly while another, using a rigid finger-thick needle projecting at right angles from a drill-like device, worked on the base of her left thumb. She screamed but could not move, and sensed them conveying that they had to do it. She woke very upset with a sore thumb and a water-blister mark, still visible at the interview, and was confused over when she had told her husband Caesar and her friend Vera. She felt it had happened to her before.

What Hind made of it

MacKinnon probed what caused the blackness that ended the experience; June suggested fear. Printed as an interview without editorial verdict, with a bracketed note that the mark was still there at the interview.

Explanation offered
Nightmare or dream, which the witness rejects because of the mark on her hand; her homeopath did not believe her.
