Bruce Mangauzani: Africa's only interviewed abductee (reference)

not stated, not stated

Outside the region. Hind reprinted this case from elsewhere; it has a file here but no place on the map.

What was reported

Hind refers twice to Bruce Mangauzani, printed as Case 29 in issues 4 and 7. In a footnote to Kirsty's case he is cited alongside Stuart of Mutare as an African witness who suffered paralysis. In Proof of Abductions she describes him as the only African person she has personally interviewed who appears to have had an abduction experience, adding that at times it reads more like a ghostly episode than a classic abduction. No location or date is repeated here; the mention records Hind's continuing view of the case as Africa's rare indigenous abduction report, resting on the witness's word alone.

What Hind made of it

Hind sees it as Africa's only interviewed abduction by an African witness, though possibly more ghostly than alien.
