Stuart of Mutare: paralysis and silence (reference)

What was reported

In three separate footnotes Hind refers back to the Mutare close encounter printed as Case 133 in issues 17 and 19. She cites it as the comparison for Yusuf A.'s experience, since Stuart too was paralysed and noticed complete silence while the object was present; as the local example of witness paralysis when summarising the French COMETA report's discussion of that effect; and as a parallel to Kirsty's paralysis in Case 156. No new detail is given; the value of the mention is that Hind uses the case as her benchmark for paralysis effects in southern African encounters.

What Hind made of it

Hind treats it as the established local example of witness paralysis.
