In December 2013 Charlotte reached out to me to inform me of a number of fascinating and varied experiences of hers which had taken place since her childhood. This report is based on the information Charlotte provided.

Knowing the Future

Charlotte informed me that on regular occasions since 2000 at the age of 12 she has had visions or dreams which have then seemingly come true, and at other times general feelings relating to what has then taken place. In her childhood she used to tell her mother about it, telling her “I’ve dreamt this before.” But her mother assumed she was just referring to déjà vu.

She provided me with some relatively recent examples. One day in 2011 she needed to take the bowl out of the kitchen sink to use it. The bowl was full of washing up at the time so to clear enough space to use the sink she lifted it out temporarily and put it down on the floor. She was holding her mobile phone at the time so then put it down on the worktop alongside the sink.

She glanced down at her phone and immediately saw a vision of it slipping off and falling into the bowl of washing up on the floor. Several seconds later it did precisely this! She had seemingly seen a vision of what was about to take place in her mind.

In September 2013 she had a dream that she was shopping in Sainsbury’s buying a bag of ice cubes and bumped into her old work boss. In the morning she thought it was a strange dream to have but did not think much more on it. A week later she was out shopping and the dream came true! She actually informed her old boss about having it a week earlier, which surprised him.

In early December 2013, a week before I spoke with Charlotte about her experiences, she had a bad feeling in her stomach but no idea why. Within hours she got a phone call off one of her friends who informed her that she had been in a car accident. Luckily she was not hurt, but Charlotte is convinced this is what she had sensed.

Dark Grey Metallic Disc

In May 2001 Charlotte’s family took her on holiday to one of the Canary Islands named Feurteventura. Unfortunately she cannot remember the name of the town or city they stayed at, only that their hotel was likely on the main strip as there was lots of nearby bars.

Earlier in the day she had been fighting with her sister, which according to Charlotte was a regular occurrence. It was roughly 10pm on a warm and still night. The sky was clear of cloud and the stars were fully visible. She was out on a walk with her father. He was in the process of telling her off. There were not many other pedestrians around.

Ahead of them was a large hotel at a road junction on their right. Suddenly from around the edge of the hotel Charlotte witnessed an object come into view hovering in the sky. It was metallic dark grey in colour, and was the shape of a disc, with a central dome on both the upper and lower-side. There were no lights or markings visible. Charlotte estimates it was at least 60 feet in diameter and appeared to be hovering around a couple of hundred feet up, about the height that a low altitude patrol helicopter would fly at.

The object was completely silent, and was moving on a straight and level course very slowly, possibly only a few miles per hour. After several seconds it came to an abrupt halt.

Charlotte exclaimed “Oh my god dad, what is that?!” However the object quickly reversed its direction and disappeared back out of view behind the hotel. She asked “Dad did you see that? Did you see that?” He replied “You haven’t seen anything, you’ve been crying, your mind is playing tricks on you. Don’t worry!” They continued walking along the road. Charlotte looked for the presence of the UFO but it had completely disappeared.

A number of days later when they were back home her dad confirmed to her that he had actually seen something, but didn’t want to frighten her at the time due to the fact they were on holiday in an unfamiliar location.

Pale Blue Light

By 2009 Charlotte had moved to Hagley. Her boyfriend owned Gilis Rowland Hair Salon on Station Road, Stourbridge, and they both lived in the apartment above it (The salon has since closed).

It was a cold night in January or February. It had previously been snowing but was now calm. Even in winter time the apartment would get very warm, probably because of all of the hairdryers used during the daytime in the salon below. Because of this they would sleep with the bedroom door open.

Charlotte was asleep when suddenly she was stirred by her boyfriend gently tapping her. He calmly whispered in her ear “Charlotte look, look over there”, motioning his eyes towards the doorway. When she looked over she was surprised to see pale blue light coming into the room from the hallway. For an unknown reason the light felt very calming to her rather than frightening.

As she watched she could see that the light was clearly moving, like whatever was causing it had come out from the living room, had already gone past the bedroom door, and was now making its way along the hallway away from them. It slowly faded as it moved away. As the light faded, both her and her boyfriend seemed to drop back off to sleep, possibly because of how calming it was.

Her boyfriend and his sister both believed in angels. The following morning when they awoke he was really excited and happy about what had taken place. He asked Charlotte “Wow! Do you remember that in the night we were visited by an angel?” He was so amazed about what had happened he rang up his sister to tell her about it.

Charlotte did not know what the light could have been. However she says it could not have been ball lightning floating around the apartment as the weather was calm that night. Ball lightning is quite rare and only materializes in stormy conditions. She does not believe it was light coming into the apartment from an outside facing window.

Being Visitations

About 6 weeks after the light incident Charlotte awoke during the night. She had recently separated from her boyfriend so was alone in the room. It was very dark due to the blackout blinds, but still light enough to see the furnishings. For an unknown reason she felt extremely anxious. Her stomach was in knots. She could sense a presence in the room, and could hear what sounded like someone gasping for air, regular and continuous short breaths. The noises sounded like they were coming from the end of the bed.

Without looking, Charlotte tried to remain extremely still and held her breath. She thought to herself “Something’s in here. If it can’t hear me breathing it may think I’m not here.” She thinks that because she held her breath so long she collapsed and fell back off to sleep.

Her next recollection was of waking up to the sound of the doorbell and her pet dogs barking (which they would always do when it rang). It was now daylight. She immediately remembered the breathing sound she had heard and was quite upset by it. She jumped up out of bed in her night clothes and ran to the door, seeking comfort from whoever happened to be there. It only took her 5 seconds to reach the door, but when she opened it nobody was there. Checking the clock she found it was now around 7am.

Roughly a fortnight later, almost exactly the same thing took place! Once again she woke up frightened, heard the gasping noises near the end of the bed, held her breath without looking and blacked out.  Once again she was woken in the morning by the doorbell and barking dogs, and when she went to check there was no-one there. It was possibly exactly the same time as before, her alarm set for 7.30am had not gone off.

Two weeks later it happened a third time! On this occasion when she heard the breathing noises she became more curious. She still decided to hold her breath but felt brave enough to look down to the end of the bed where the sounds were coming from. She could make out the silhouette of a figure standing there. It looked tall, about 7 feet high, but was hunched over. Its head was shaped like a light bulb and looked hairless. It was too dark in the room to clearly make out facial features.

The being appeared to be unclothed and its skin reminded her of a wet seal. It had skinny long neck, arms and legs. Its lower legs were not visible due to where it was standing. Strangely its arms appeared to be covered in long thin hairs, but not its body or legs.

Behind the being was some tall mirror-fronted cupboards. She could see the back of it reflected in this. She noticed that the being appeared to not have buttocks, the legs just smoothly melded with its torso.

While she looked at the figure she also sensed an unusual odour coming from it which she had not detected on the previous occasions. It reminded her of raw meat. This made her feel nauseous as she is a vegetarian.

Instead of jumping out of bed and run out of the room Charlotte did what she’d previously done - she held her breath and then seemingly blacked out. Just as with the previous occasions she was woken by the doorbell and dogs. Again she checked, but instinctively knew that nobody would be standing there.

When she returned to the bedroom she found that her alarm clock had stopped at 3:20am. However this may well have been just because it happened to run out of batteries, as when she changed them it started working normally again.

Because of the three repeated experiences Charlotte felt extremely uneasy. She felt that the world that she was living in had changed and nothing made sense anymore. She said that this was “confusing and terrifying at the same time, very negative.”

Soon after the third experience with the being she told her mother about what was taking place. Her mother was concerned and asked her if she was taking drugs. She also decided to tell her friend Andrea about what was going on. She seemed interested but didn’t ask many questions.

A fortnight later Andrea was staying over at the apartment to keep her company due to the recent breakup. She was soundly sleeping when suddenly she heard Andrea shout “Fucking make it go away! Charlotte, fucking make it go away!” She seemed extremely frightened and was pulling the duvet up around her. Charlotte switched on the bedroom light but there was nothing visible.

She asked Andrea “What was there? What did you see?” Hysterically Andrea said that she’d seen something at the end of the bed in line with Charlotte’s feet. Due to her current state, Charlotte did not ask her any further questions. Andrea said “I’ve got to get away from here. I’m going to stay in a hotel. I’ll phone you tomorrow.” She got up, quickly grabbed her stuff and left, clearly very frightened.

Despite what her friend had seemingly witnessed, and what she herself had previously seen, Charlotte was able to settle back down to sleep. She felt strangely complacent towards what had taken place.

This time she was not woken up by the doorbell and her dogs were quiet. However her alarm clock had once again stopped, this time at 2:10am. She was unsure as to whether this was the time that Andrea had woken her up, but suspected that it was. The batteries had only been changed a fortnight before but seemed to have been drained of power entirely. This was a mystery as according to Charlotte they were not cheap batteries, there was no real reason for them to have done this so fast.

She was concerned about Andrea so decided to give her a call. However when Andrea picked up the phone she just brushed off what had taken place. She said “Sorry I was a weirdo last night.” Charlotte asked “What happened?” Andrea said “I saw something at the end of the bed. I don’t know what it was. I must have been dreaming.”

After the incident Charlotte has tried to bring up the incident with Andrea on several occasions, but she just jokes about it. But Charlotte remembers how frightened she appeared to be on the night it happened.

In January 2010 Charlotte moved to a house in Kingswinford. On a day in February she was pottering around the house when she noticed that the clock in the kitchen had stopped. She had no spare batteries at the time so decided to put up with it until she could obtain some. Later in the evening she was getting ready for bed when she noticed that the alarm clock had also stopped! She tried to clear her mind regarding what had taken place on previous occasions when clocks had been found stopped.

She got into bed and managed to drop off to sleep. However once again she was visited in the night. She woke with the feeling of something touching and leaning down on her feet. When she opened her eyes and looked down the bed she saw a similar being to before, although this time it was leaning over at a steeper angle and staring at her. She could also see it clearer as it was less dark in the room.

The being had large almond-shaped eyes which where shiny and dark green in colour, with no irises or pupils visible. Its nose was very flat and unpronounced. The lower jaw appeared more set forward to that of a human, with a pointed chin. The skin was a mottled grey colour with a mix of shades. It looked wet and shiny. Once again it had thin hairs on its arms, which were a fair colour. Looking at the torso, she could make out its collar bone and shape of its ribs.

It felt like it was trying to tell her something rather than look at her, but she didn’t hear anything except for the same gasping breaths she had heard before. Once again she was frightened by the presence of the being so held her breath and blacked out. Unlike the experience where Andrea was present, she once again woke to the sound of the doorbell and dogs barking (not forgetting she was now at a new address). She ran to the door but as usual nobody was there.

Returning to the room she found the time was 7am. Looking round the house she expected to find electrical issues, and was not disappointed. The clocks which had stopped the previous day were still working, but the clock on her DVD Player had gone off, as had the clock on the cooker. Both had flashing dashes waiting for input, as if there had been a power cut in the night.

In 2012 she moved to Tamworth with her current partner. She had previously told him about her experiences but he didn’t seem to really believe her. One evening around 7.30pm the kitchen clock stopped. She jokingly said to him “The aliens are coming tonight.”

Later on they got into bed and dropped off like normal. But during the night Charlotte was stirred from her sleep by her boyfriend. He sounded out of breath and was sat up in bed alongside her. She tried to calm him down and asked “What’s the matter?” He said “I’m alright. I thought I saw something leaning over you.” Like previous occasions Charlotte seemed really complacent to hearing this, despite what had taken place before. They both settled back down to sleep.

Once again she was woken by her boyfriend kicking the bedroom radiator, causing a loud humming sound. He jumped up out of bed shouting “Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!” and ran into the bathroom. Charlotte heard him washing his face like he was trying to wake himself up.

When he returned to the room Charlotte asked “Are you alright?” He said “Yeah, yeah I’m fine. I was trying to fight something off.” Charlotte asked “Ok…Fight what off?” He responded saying “I don’t want to talk about it.” He got back into bed and initially lay facing away from her. After a minute he rolled over and said “Charlotte, I’m not happy that they followed you here.” Despite what had happened they both settled back down to sleep.

The following day Charlotte could see it was playing on his mind, but didn’t bring it up with him. However after this incident she says that he treated her experiences with more understanding than before.

Abduction Flashbacks

Charlotte says that on a number of occasions she has experienced sudden visions of being in a different location. She says that this tends to happen more often when she is concentrating on something.

One day she was driving across to a friend’s house, with another friend in the passenger seat. Suddenly she had a vision of being in a large, square shaped, white coloured room, about 50 feet across. There were large white cabinets around her going right up to the ceiling. Everything looked clinical and clean. The air in the room was humid with visible mist around her.

The walls of the room sloped outwards. One of them was clear, like a huge window, and through it she could see stars and the Earth. In the vision she had no idea of how old she was, or whether she was clothed or not. But it felt calm not frightening. Charlotte says that she suffers quite badly from vertigo. She hates flying, and won’t walk up a staircase unless it has a banister. But for an unknown reason was not scared of being up in space and looking down at the Earth.

This was not the only time that she had a vision of this place. Charlotte says that numerous times while practicing a dance route she has seen a quick flash of the same white room in her mind.

Sense of Presence

Since having her son Charlotte says that she has not had any further definite experiences. However there have been a number of occasions where she has woken up to feel the sense of a presence in the room. She wonders if the beings may now be interacting with her son rather than herself, but has no real evidence suggesting this at present.

Conclusions

The repeated visitation experiences which Charlotte (and sometimes others) experienced are very interesting indeed, especially considering the fact they continued across numerous different addresses. Some of the bizarre aspects such as electrical clocks stopping working and the door bell ringing by itself could easily be dismissed if they had only occurred once, but they were repeated enough times to surely not be coincidental.

Unfortunately Charlotte has no photographic or video evidence relating to what took place, and I am unable to speak with her previous or current partners about what happened. But the very specific details she provided have convinced me that she is talking about real memories.

Her other experiences are also compelling. It is common for experiencers to have precognitions or premonitions of future events, and it looks like Charlotte may be experiencing both on a regular basis.

Although her encounters appeared to have died down at the moment, it is entirely possible that she may experience other things going forward. If she decides to keep in touch with me this report may well be updated.
