I was initially contacted by "Julie" in early 2025. She informed me she had been recommended to speak with me by another experiencer who’s case I had previously investigated. She provided a very brief overview of some of her own experiences which went right back to her childhood. I went back to her with some initial questions, to which she responded.
However, following this, due to life getting in the way, it wouldn’t be until much later in the year that we got back in touch and spoke in depth about what has taken place over numerous video calls.
This extensive case report is the end product of these discussions.
Girl on the Back Seat
Julie believes that since a very early age she has possessed innate psychic abilities which have manifested in various ways. She has been informed by her mother "Tara" that she started speaking from about 6 months, and that sometimes she would say words that Tara was thinking.
Her first truly unusual experience is one which she cannot consciously recollect, but one which Tara has told her about. Julie was born in 1975. In the early years of her life she lived with Tara and her father "Martin" in a house in Ryton, a hamlet in Gloucestershire.
At the time Martin was a lorry driver. He used to set off from Ledbury 3 miles to the North North West. Tara used to drop him off early in the morning, bringing Julie along for the ride in a child seat in the back. The route would take them along Ledbury Road (A417) through Parkway.
One morning between late 1977 - early 1978 around 4:15am they were driving back home after dropping Martin off. Jul,ie was wide awake on the back seat of the car. As they approached the brow of the hill at Parkway according to Tara she began to get upset and began shouting and crying.
Tara asked her what was wrong. Julie exclaimed “The little girl who lives here keeps being nasty to me! She’s being horrible to me!” Of course there was no-one else in the car at the time, so Tara told her to calm down. They continued the journey home and soon Julie seemed to relax.
When she was older Tara informed her about the incident and also told her that a little girl had been hit by a car and died around that location. Ever since it happened she wondered if Julie both saw and interacted with the ghost of this girl.
Of course due to Julie’s young age there is the possibility that this was merely down to childhood imagination rather than a paranormal experience of any kind, there is no way of knowing for sure, especially as she cannot consciously remember what happened.
Sense of Pain
In 1987 when Julie was 12 years old Martin was unfortunately diagnosed with cancer of the oesophagus. When this developed he had to go into hospital for an operation. He had to remain at the hospital for a number of weeks. Luckily the operation was a success. Julie excitedly accompanied Tara to go and pick him up when he was discharged.
When he got back into the car on the back seat he reached out and put his arm round her. Immediately she felt an extremely severe pain on one side of her lower chest. The pain was so intense that it took her breath away and brought tears to her eyes.
She found out soon afterwards that during the operation Martin needed to have his two bottom ribs taken off on one side. Later on looking back at this incident Julie felt that she had sensed the pain of what her father’s body had endured merely through the act of him putting his arm round her.
Buttons
Between the age of 13-14 Julie and Tara used to play a game. Tara owned a tin of spare buttons of various colours and sizes which she stored in the kitchen. There were various occasions where her mother would take a random button from the tin and hide it behind her back, then ask Julie the colour of the button that she was holding. Most of the time it was just the two of them present, but on one occasion her younger sister Imogen was also there.
Julie claims that she was able to correctly state the colour of the button most of the time, far more often than should have been possible by chance alone. She says that the colour would just come to her mind, and that concentrating on it to try and work it out would stop this from occurring.
She only played the game about 4-5 times due to the distraction of her father’s declining health. She has not attempted this in recent years, although says she may be able to do so with someone she feels attuned to.
The Collapse
In her teens Julie used to play tennis regularly. On 26th Imogen 1990 she was playing a match when an extremely strong sensation came over her. This caused her to fall to the floor. She sensed that something was very wrong. Due to what had happened the instructor suggested she should head back home.
She got on the bus and returned to the house on her own. As she reached home she saw her younger brother "Steve" standing on the front drive. Immediately she knew before asking that her father had passed away. It made complete sense to her – just as she had felt his pain after the hospital operation, she also felt it when his life came to an end.
Glowing Figure
Several days after Martin’s passing Julie was lying in the darkness in her bedroom. Because her father had been ill for quite a period of time before he died she had taken his death quite well and had come to terms with what had happened.
Looking across the darkened room, which was only about 7 foot across, she suddenly noticed something unusual near the far corner. Down by the carpet was what appeared to be a yellow orb of light. Julie compares the colour to that of a fishing lure.
The orb started off quite small in size, about the size of a melon, but as she watched it began to grow! As it got larger it began to take a more humanoid shape.
By the time it stopped growing it resembled a hunched over man, about 5 feet in height. The figure was glowing with a golden light, but was clear enough to see features. She could see that it had the facial features of her father. However, it was not how she would expect him to appear – he looked extremely ill and gaunt. It was also too short – Martin was 5 foot 10 inches tall. It wasn’t pleasant at all, and Julie immediately got the sense that this was not her deceased father, but instead something pretending to be him.
The figure reached its arm out towards her. At this moment she screamed out loud. A moment later Tara opened the door and came rushing into the bedroom. As she did the glowing figure completely disappeared.
Tara asked her what was wrong. She told her what had just happened. Tara felt that Martin had come to say goodbye to her and said “You shouldn’t be afraid, that’s a beautiful thing.” Julie informed her mother that he would not have appeared to her in that way, and that she felt that it had been something else.
The incident traumatised her so much that she slept with the light on from that night onwards right up until the age of 23. She was absolutely convinced that she had been wide awake and that the experience was real and not brought on by grief of her father’s death. She only began sleeping with the light off again after she first met the man who she would later marry. This new relationship comforted her and allowed her to get over her fear of the dark.
Looking back at what happened Julie continues to believe that she was not visited by her father, but instead by a dark supernatural presence. While this is one way of interpreting the incident, there is also the possibility that this was a contact experience, and that this was an ET appearing in the form of her father through what is commonly referred to as a screen memory.
I have investigated many cases where beings have appeared in other forms to individuals, sometimes taking on the appearance of family members or friends. If it was a screen memory, then perhaps this was why the figure did not look right, and also seemed to be too short in height.
Abdominal Markings
One morning around 7am in late summer Julie headed downstairs to the kitchen still in her night wear. She was wearing a frock top so her abdomen was exposed. When she entered the kitchen she found Imogen was already awake.
Her sister looked over at her, then a moment later enquired “What’s that?” Julie replied “What’s what?” She looked down at her abdomen where her sister was staring. On either side of her lower abdomen, around the position of her ovaries were two oval-shaped markings. The skin was a dark pink and smooth, almost like scars which had healed over. They were not sore, but looked like someone had pressed their thumbs onto her.
Soon Tara came downstairs. Julie pointed out the markings to her. She did not seem bothered by them and simply said “Oh don’t worry about it!”
Julie expected the markings to heal up and disappear. However, while they did fade to a silvery white colour, they remained permanently visible. Imogen started to refer to them as her “alien autopsy marks”, although she only meant this in jest rather than a serious viewpoint on their origin. As they did not cause any discomfort she did not get them diagnosed by her GP.
The markings are no longer visible because since they appeared Julie has had two C-sections. Both of these happened to be cut across right through where they were situated. Interestingly Julie informed me that the skin around the positions of the markings took longer to heal up, almost like it had been weakened in some way.
While many experiencers have reported finding markings at various positions on their bodies after contact experiences, Julie does not remember anything occurring during the night before they appeared. There are a number of mundane explanations for such markings which cannot be fully discounted, including a rare autoimmune condition known as Morphea, and a rash called Pityriasis Rosea, although the later is not supposed to leave lasting scars.
Haunted Mansion
By the following year Julie had started dating a boy named "Ben" who lived in Much Marcle 3 miles to the West. Ben’s father worked as a gardener at a Tudor manor house named Hellens Manor, situated close to the outskirts of the village. Because of his position he and his family were given permission to stay at the manor rent free.
As with many other manor houses, the building is steeped in history, and is believed to be haunted by numerous ghosts. Below is a link to a page on the Haunted Britain website providing an overview of these hauntings:
Occasionally Julie was invited to stay at the manor by Ben’s family. She says that the house un-nerved her, and on numerous occasions while she was there unexplained incidents took place. They would sometimes hear objects being thrown in the bathroom. They never saw this directly, but would find random objects in the bath tub. On one occasion something got broken and Ben’s mother actually got angry and told off the ghost!
There were multiple times where Julie felt something touch her. One evening she and Ben returned to the manor. As Ben’s parents had also gone out they left the key under a log by the front door. Ben bent down to pick up the key. As he did Julie sensed something standing behind her, and then felt it touch her on the back. She was petrified and immediately told Ben what had taken place. He didn’t seem surprised at all.
Whenever Julie stayed over at the manor she slept in a room by herself. She would try her best to remain in the room till morning, but occasionally would need to use the bathroom. The landing was extremely dark at night, and unfortunately the light switch was positioned at the other end of it so whenever she needed to go to bathroom she would have brave this darkness.
One night at the manor she woke up in the early hours of the morning needing to go. She got out of bed and opened the bedroom door. As usual outside on the landing it was extremely dark and silent. She turned left and walked down the first section. As she approached a left turn she noticed an orange coloured glow coming from around the corner.
When she walked around the corner she immediately saw a line of burning torches attached to each of the walls! She knew that these were not physically present at the property and that they were a ghostly apparition of some kind.
Despite the situation Julie realised she would have to walk past the torches to get to the bathroom, and holding it until morning was not going to be an option. So she started to walk right past them until she reached the bathroom door.
When she emerged a minute later it was completely dark and the torches had vanished. She decided not to wake up Ben or his mother, but in the morning mentioned it to both of them. Looking back on the incident Julie wonders if it was what is commonly referred to as a time slip, which is where people appear to temporary glimpse visions of the past.
Lady in the Tree
One evening in late Autumn 1992 Ben was giving Julie a lift back home to Ryton via the normal route. Due to the time of year the sun had already set. It was a dry and still night.
Part of the route led East along a lane which would eventually join Roman Road (B4215). It was very quiet and there were no other vehicles around. To the North of the lane separated by farmer’s fields is an area of woodland known as Yewtree Coppice.
As they drove along this stretch of road Julie suddenly became extremely anxious and found it hard to breathe. Ben pulled the car over on the side of the road next to a farmer’s gate to see what was wrong and try to calm her down. Ahead of them was an oak tree positioned alongside the edge of the road and lit up in the headlights. Due to the time of year there were no leaves on the tree.
When Julie looked up through the windscreen she was shocked to see a woman among the branches! She had a green coloured glow to her and was leaning back against the trunk in a reclined position. She was wearing a skirt, but was too far away to clearly see any facial features. She was not moving but Julie felt that she was aware of their presence.
She pointed the figure out to Ben, but when he looked he could not see anything. Un-nerved by what Julie could apparently see, he started the car back up again and they continued their journey back to Ryton. Soon Julie calmed down and her breathing went back to normal.
As this was the main road between Much Marcle and Ryton there were other occasions where Julie was driven past the location. From that night onward she always felt uneasy, although she did not see the lady again.
As you may be aware, the notorious serial killers Fred and Rosemary West lived in Much Marcle (Julie informed me that Ben was actually friends with Fred West’s nephew). Fred and Rosemary committed at least 12 murders between 1967 and 1987.
On 10th April 1994 police found the body of Fred’s first wife Catherine “Rena” Costello in Letterbox Field just South of Yewtree Coppice. She had been murdered back in 1971 after starting to ask questions about her missing daughter Charmaine, another of the West’s victims.
When Ben saw the news report about the grim discovery on TV he could barely believe it, and immediately informed Julie. The gate they had pulled up at, and oak tree where Julie had seen the glowing lady are situated at the South West corner of Letterbox Field, only 25 metres away from where Rena had been buried!
Thinking about what had taken place, both of them wondered whether the figure Julie had seen was the apparition of Rena haunting the nearby vicinity, and the reason only she had been able to see her was because of her increased level of perception.
This is something which Julie continues to wonder about to this day. If it was indeed the case, it is a mystery as to why Rena was standing within the branches of a tree rather than down at ground level.
Baby Monitor
By 2005 Julie had left Ben, married a man named "Simon" and had her first child "Timothy". They lived together in a bungalow on Lakeside, Newent.
Timothy used to sleep in a crib in a separate room to them. In order to listen out for any issues the couple purchased a good quality baby monitor.
In the early hours of the morning on a day in November Julie was stirred from sleep by the familiar sound of Timothy starting to wake up. However, she then heard something she was not expecting to hear. She heard what sounded like an elderly lady whispering “Shhhhhh” followed by tuneful humming noises, as if she was trying to settle Timothy back down to sleep.
Julie thought to herself “What the hell is that?” She went to check on Timothy and as she did the noises on the baby monitor ceased. When she entered the room he was sleeping there was nothing out of place.
Nothing else took place until the following November. On numerous occasions Julie felt the presence of an old woman in the property. This feeling would only happen at a specific location – the section of the hall between her bedroom and the bathroom. On all these times Julie never saw anything out of the ordinary, only felt that she was there.
Burial Site
On 10th November 2007 a man from Redhill Farm, Redmarley named Adrian Prout contacted the police and reported that his wife Kate was missing. Initially police believed that she had ran away from home. However, it came to light that less than a week earlier she had asked Adrian for a large divorce settlement. Despite no evidence of a body he was questioned on suspicion of her murder, and in February 2010 was jailed for life.
According to Julie, in the months following the court verdict the police conducted a thorough search of the surrounding area in the hopes of finding the whereabouts of Kate’s body. This involved them questioning not only people from Redmarley but also from Ryton, which lies just one mile to the North West West.
One of the people they questioned was her mother Tara. One day two detectives apparently knocked on the door. They informed her that they had spoken with a medium in the hopes of tracking Kate down. The medium had told them that she was buried at a place with lots of birds. Tara suggested they look for her in The Rookery Woods, Bromyard, 17 miles to the North North West.
Soon after their visit Julie went round to see Tara, and she told her about the police visit. When Julie heard what they had asked and where Tara had suggested they look, the actual burial location suddenly popped into her mind. Somehow she knew that Kate was buried in Redmarley Woods where she used to play in her childhood.
She informed Tara, not knowing where this knowledge came from. Tara said she was not going to pass this information on to the police as if she was wrong she didn’t want to waste their time, and if she was right she didn’t want her to be in any way implicated in the crime.
In November 2011 Adrian finally confessed to the murder and informed police of where he had buried his wife. After a 4 day long search they managed to locate her remains in Redmarley Woods.
Soon afterwards the news of the find was publicly released via various media, including the below BBC News article:
When Julie found out about the discovery she was amazed. She went over to visit Tara and found that she too had seen it on the news and made the connection to what Julie had said previously.
This is another incident which suggests that Julie has sixth sense abilities. Although she has no recorded proof of what took place I have no reason at all to doubt that this happened as she describes.
Further Hauntings
By late 2010 Julie had given birth to her second son, "Kevin", and her daughter, "Lisa". In December the family moved into another house on West View.
Within a fortnight of moving in Julie sensed the presence of a sad and angry man. Soon afterwards in the early hours of the morning she happened to glance out of the open bedroom door onto the landing. Even though it was quite dark, there was some light coming from the blue coloured PIR (Passive Infra Red) sensor light and a nearby street light shining through the upstairs window.
Near the top of the stairs she saw a dark shadowy figure. She woke up Simon and pointed out the figure to her. He apparently couldn’t see the figure and informed her that she must be seeing things. It was there several seconds before disappearing. However, Julie would go on to see the same figure on at least three other occasions.
In 2011 Julie chatted with a neighbour about the property. She did not mention the strange goings on which had taken place. However, her neighbour informed that the husband of the previous couple who lived at the property had died there. He had an extensive career in the Navy. A couple of months after retiring he discovered he had liver cancer.
The neighbour said he had been justifiably angry about his rapidly deteriorating health because he had been looking forward to a long and happy retirement. Julie was convinced that his ghost was still present in the house.
In 2013 Julie and Simon separated. Julie moved into a new rental house on Meek Road with her three children.
Despite this change in address unusual activity continued. There were numerous occasions where Julie either saw or heard objects being moved around.
The most dramatic of these incidents occurred in the kitchen. She was alone in the house and she had set up her Apple Mac laptop on the table. She had got up temporarily when suddenly the laptop got thrown right across the kitchen in front of her! She was nowhere near it at the time so had not tripped over the wire. She was shocked because it was quite a heavy object so it would have required a substantial amount of energy to move it.
Shadow Being
In 2015 Julie once again moved house, this time to Winding Pool Close, Dymock.
Initially everything seemed calm. But one night after the children had gone to bed she was in the kitchen washing up when she suddenly had the feeling of something behind her. She turned around not knowing what to expect.
By the open kitchen door to the hall there was a shadowy humanoid form. It was about 5 foot 8 inches in height, a little taller than herself. It looked like it was made of black swirling smoke, but had a clearly defined shape with a head, torso, arms and legs. Julie describes it as “like black cotton wool, really dense smoke moving but keeping form”.
Disturbed by the presence of the figure she briefly turned away from it, thinking “Oh shit!” When she turned back round again the entity was still there by the doorway. She felt that it was there to observe her rather than cause her physical harm. She also knew that staying put would not accomplish anything so she decided to bravely walk out of the kitchen right past it!
As she did she glanced up at it. Even up close there were no facial features visible. It did not start to move or interact with her in any way. Once past it she calmly walked along the hall, opened the front door and stepped outside onto the front drive of the house, wondering what to do.
A number of seconds went by before she thought to herself “Oh damn, I’ve left the kids in there with it!” She overcame her fear of what was taking place and stepped back inside the house. When she did she saw that the figure had disappeared.
Within weeks of this incident she saw the same entity a second time! On this occasion it was dusk and she was again in the kitchen. The kitchen window is front-facing. She happened to look through it and saw the same figure, this time standing at the end of the front drive way!
Un-nerved by the fact that it had returned she moved away from the window. She does not know how long it remained there for.
Rainbow Light
On another day Julie was sitting in the living room on the sofa. She looked over at the door and noticed a rainbow coloured vertical line of light on it, the sort of light which would usually be caused by sunlight reflecting off or through something. However, she had never seen it before, and was sure that there was nothing present which could cause such a reflection. Upon seeing it she thought to herself “What the hell is that?”
Julie attempted to block it at different positions to determine a potential angle of reflection. She tried covering the window and the television, but nothing seemed to work. It was extremely bizarre but after un-successfully discovering its source she just ignored it and got on with her day. The light has never been seen since, it only appeared on this single occasion.
False Statement
Her partner at the time, "Lee", worked as an oven cleaner. Sometimes when she was able she would accompany him on cleaning jobs.
One day they drove to a house in Tewesbury. The lady who owned the property let them both in. As she touched the door handle and stepped into the house she felt odd, but didn’t immediately know why. They walked through to the kitchen. Justin began working on the oven and talking with the lady while Julie stood in the corner.
As they chatted Lee asked the lady “Do you have any children?” Immediately Julie’s heart sank, and she thought to herself “Oh my god, why did you have to ask her that?”
The lady responded saying “Yeah, I’ve got two children, a son and a daughter.” Julie began to feel really hot inside her head, found it hard to breathe and could feel herself start to well up with tears. In the end she could no longer fight it and she burst into tears.
Both Lee and the lady noticed what was happening. The lady asked her “What on earth’s the matter my dear?” Julie responded “I can’t say.” But the lady continued to press her, saying “You can! What’s wrong? Is something bad?” Julie looked at the lady and blurted out “He asked you a question a minute ago. You said you had two children. That’s not true!”
Immediately the colour drained from the lady’s face. Julie continued, not really knowing why she was saying what she was saying. “You said you had a daughter. She’s died and it’s her birthday today and you’ve lied about her!” As she said the words she found herself not wanting to, because she knew that this was deeply personal to the lady and may upset her, but she couldn’t help it. It was as if something else was speaking through her.
Lee exclaimed out loud “Oh my god!” But instead of getting angry the lady said “That’s fine. It’s true, it would have been her 14th birthday today.” She went on to explain that her daughter had died of Leukaemia. She asked Julie “How did you know?”
Julie said “As I walked through the front door and put my hand on the handle someone told me in my head.” Despite clearly being shocked at what was taking place the lady was alright with it and said she was happy as it proved to her that her daughter was still there in some form. They spent a number of minutes consoling one another before leaving the property.
Julie says that after she returned to the car she developed a strong headache which lasted for a while before finally settling. Looking back at what had happened she felt like something had been directing her to speak, not the lost daughter, but something else entirely.
When I asked Julie about what she knew when she first entered the property she said “I would say I had a knowing of something, but when I blurted it out I didn’t know what was coming out, it was automatic. I had a feeling when I went in. I knew something was wrong but not specifically what.”
This is a fascinating incident which once again suggests that Julie has the ability to sometimes perceive things which have taken place. It is near impossible that she would have somehow found out this information in advance. There had been no articles written about the death of the lady’s daughter, and neither her nor Lee knew the lady in advance, she was just a work client.
Translucent UFO
Julie’s son Kevin enjoys star gazing, so for his 15th birthday on 23rd May 2020 she bought him a telescope. A few days later at around 10:30pm they decided to head outside to stargaze. They walked down to a patch of open grass at the end of Winding Pool Close.
It was a clear, still and warm night, perfect for sky watching. Due to the time there were no other pedestrians around.
At about 11:30pm they decided to head back to the house. When they reached the end of the drive they briefly stopped for a chat.
All of a sudden they heard a whooshing sound over the road. They turned round to look just as something sizeable and moving at a fast speed passed by. It came in from their left, heading along the road in a Western direction. It was so low down that Julie is convinced it must have flew between one of the gaps separating the houses at the end of the road.
She only glimpsed it briefly before it vanished into the darkness, but describes it as looking like an elongated oval-shape, almost transparent, but with a surface made up of flattened panels like a diamond. It seemed to be about 40 feet in length, and was at quite low altitude, only about 25 feet. As it passed by on a straight and level course they felt the air being displaced by it.
As it passed them Julie exclaimed “What the hell!” Kevin responded asking “What was that? Oh my god, it was like if dragons were real!” They stood and chatted about what had just occurred before heading back inside.
Julie says that soon afterwards they discussed it with a neighbour who suggested it may have been a goose swooping down as it flew past. However, she is convinced that the object was much too large to have been a bird, and its appearance sounds nothing like how this would appear.
Looking back at the incident, Julie feels that there was something organic about the object rather than it just being a solid machine. It was so close to the house that Julie wonders if it was there specifically to observe her and Kevin.
Bag-For-Life
By 2021 Julie had met her current partner "Mark". One day in 2021 she was round his house on Drayton Road, Abingdon, Oxfordshire and sitting in the living room.
She heard a strange rustling sound coming from the adjoining kitchen. She headed through there to see where the noise was coming from. Sitting alongside the sink was a bag-for-life. This bag was moving like there was something alive inside it. She thought to herself “Oh my god, there’s a mouse in it!”
She approached the bag, picked it up and shook it. She was mystified to find that it was empty. A moment later the sink mixer tap blew off with a strong jet of water! Panicking she grabbed it and tried screwing it back on. Mark heard the sound and came through to find out what had happened.
It is of course possible that the moving bag was just down to creases in it naturally collapsing, and the tap was just a freak malfunction. But the proximity of these two incidents is what has Julie wondering if there was a supernatural explanation.
A Perplexing Vision
As you have read, for most of her life Julie has experienced paranormal and psychic related events, but nothing which could be clearly defined as contact. However, that would all change on 9th March 2022.
Julie sleeps on a sofa bed in the living room. She always leaves a small lamp on in the room so is never in complete darkness.
She awoke in the early hours of the morning with the feeling of a presence in the room. She was lying on her left side, so when she opened her eyes she had a view across the living room to the door which leads through to the hall.
She was surprised to see that the door of the living room was open, even though she had closed it when she had gone to bed. There were several beings standing there. Two of them were just inside the room and were just under 5 foot in height. The third, which appeared visibly shorter than the others, about 4 foot, was peering around the edge of the door frame, almost like it was dubious or frightened to come in.
The beings had a slender build, bulbous heads, and appeared to be unclothed. Their skin was grey with a slight blue-ish tint. They had large almond-shaped eyes which were completely black. Their noses were thin and not particularly pronounced, and they had very small mouths. There seemed to be a dull blue-white coloured glow coming from them, with no obvious source.
While not massively familiar with the contact phenomenon, Julie was aware that these beings were Greys. One of the two in the room began to speak. When it did it did not open its mouth. Julie believes it was speaking telepathically directly in her mind.
It started to say the same phrase over and over in a deep guttural male-sounding voice. Words she did not understand – “Manafuksa ich nach!” (Not sure if spelt correctly). As it spoke it gesticulated with its hands.
She was confused and un-nerved, as this was the first time she had seen them and didn’t understand what she was being told. The shorter Grey now entered the room and stood next to the other two. Julie felt like she could move freely but purposely remained lying down staring at the beings.
The Grey speaking with her then turned and pointed at the wall on the far side of the living room. As it did, the wall seemed to dissolve away from the centre outwards in small pixel-like blocks. In its place was now a vision of another location! It was quite dark but the scene was lit in a dull peach-coloured glow.
She could see what appeared to be the ruins of a destroyed two storey building. The wall of the building closest to her had seemingly collapsed enabling her to see the floors inside. Everything was covered in dust. The building design did not look particularly old-fashioned, but did appear run down. It did not look like a building from the UK. It was potentially European, but there was nothing she could make out which would confirm this. On the ground floor was lots of rubble and debris. On the first floor was a double bed.
Floating about three feet above the bed was a unclothed woman in a upright curled up foetal position. She had white skin and fair hair that was tied up in a bob. Julie did not recognise her. The woman appeared to be enclosed within a clear tight-fitting sac of some kind.
The Grey pointed at the lady like it was trying to draw her attention to her. It continued to say the same phrase as before, “Manafuksa ich nach! Manafuksa ich nach!” There was particular emphasis on the first word.
Her smartphone was on charge in the room but Julie did not think about grabbing it to take any photographs or video footage, she was too absorbed in what was taking place.
After a couple of minutes the vision quickly faded away and the living room wall returned to normal. The Grey stopped speaking to her, then it and then all three of them turned and silently walked out of the living room via the open door.
Julie was quite traumatised by what had just taken place. She sat on the sofa bed petrified, and did not drop back off to sleep for the rest of the night.
In the morning she contacted Mark and told him about what had happened. He was supportive and seemed to believe her. By the following evening she had calmed down enough to once again sleep on the sofa bed.
Shaken Awake
Just over a week later on the night of 17th March Julie was once again stirred from her sleep. She awoke at approximately 3:30am with the feeling of something grabbing hold of her shoulder through the T-shirt she was wearing and vigorously shaking her.
When she opened her eyes she saw the same Grey which had spoken to her before. It was leaning down over her with its face very close to hers. Once again it telepathically repeated the same phrase with a sense of urgency - “Manafuksa ich nach! Manafuksa ich nach!” It was as if it was still trying to get her to understand what it meant.
Julie looked past it for a moment and saw the other two Greys that she had seen a week earlier. They were standing still and watching over proceedings.
When the Grey close to her realised she was awake it let go of her shoulder and stopped speaking. Then just like the previous occasion, the three of them exited the room. Julie heard their scampering footsteps in the kitchen, and believes that they must have then exited the house via the back door, as she then heard the 6-foot-tall fence rattle outside, suggesting they had climbed over it.
After this second incident she and Mark looked online to see if they could fine the meaning of the words the Grey had been speaking. However, they were unsuccessful. Even after trying different spellings there did not appear to be words in any language which matched up with what it had said to her.
I have attempted to use Chat GPT to explain the meaning of the words. Obviously the correct spelling is unknown, but below are some different spellings and the responses given by AI:
“Manafuksa ich nach”
It’s not a standard phrase in any one language — it looks like mixed slang, probably Arabic + German, and it’s a bit garbled. “Ich” is German for “I”. “Nach” is German for “after”, “towards” or “following”. “Mana” or “ma na” in Arabic dialects (esp. Maghrebi) can mean “not” or “no”. “Fuksa” isn’t a real Arabic word, but in slang it’s sometimes used to echo “fuck” or just as filler sound.
“Manafucksa ick nack”
Isn’t a recognized phrase in English (or common slang). It sounds like made-up or playful nonsense, possibly meant to sound crude or insulting without actually meaning anything specific. A couple of likely possibilities: Intentional gibberish — people sometimes mash words together for humor, shock value, or rhythm. Mock-insult — “fucksa” gives it an aggressive tone, while “ick nack” sounds like knick-knack, which makes it feel silly rather than serious. Inside joke / fictional phrase — could be from a game, song, TikTok, or friend group where it has a private meaning.
“Manafukse ikh nakh”
That phrase looks like Yiddish, but written phonetically and a bit mangled. As written it’s not a clean, standard sentence. However, it’s very close to a well-known Yiddish vulgar idiom “Ikh fuk zikh nokh”. The literal meaning of this is “I’ll fuck myself later.” The idiomatic meaning is “I’ll deal with it later" or "I don’t care right now.”
It is of course very unlikely that the Grey was stating any of these things, so the true meaning of its repeated phrase remains unclear at present.
Reptilian Visitation
During the night in the summer of 2023 Julie was stopping over at Mark’s house. Her pet French bulldog "Brutus" was in his cage at the corner of the room.
In the early hours of the morning she was awoken by a loud repeated and fast clacking noise which lasted for a couple of seconds and reminded her of a chainsaw. The noise sounded familiar to her but she was not sure why, as she had no conscious recollection of hearing it before.
Immediately she jumped up and stood on the bed, instinctively raising her hands to defend herself. This sudden movement caused Mark also start to wake up. Julie looked across the bedroom and was shocked at what she saw.
In the dim blue-white glow given off by the fairy lights which they had intentionally left on she could see a 7-8-foot-tall lizard-like figure. It appeared to be unclothed and had dark green coloured skin. There was not enough light to see whether its skin was scaled or not, but given its appearance Julie feels it may well have been. It had a flattened nose similar to a Komodo Dragon, and red glowing eyes. Its mouth was closed and she did not see any teeth.
The being was standing up on its hind legs. It seemed aggressive, and Julie sensed that it wasn’t friendly. This being was a Reptilian, but unlike the Greys she had interacted with previously, Julie was unaware of this.
Upon seeing the being she shouted out loud. Mark looked up at her and asked “What’s wrong?” Julie whispered “Shhhh. Don’t move!” in an attempt to get him to keep quiet.
Just behind and to the left of the being was a glowing white oval-shaped light which Julie describes as a “vertical puddle of light”. A moment later the Reptilian stepped sideways into this light and disappeared. Julie assumed it had been a portal of some kind which the being had used to enter the room.
As Mark had been looking at her not across the room he had not seen what had just taken place. Julie told him about the noise and then said “It was one of them, and it scared me.” She did not go into detail because of where the incident had taken place and she didn’t want him to worry.
Julie was convinced that she had been fully awake and what she had seen was not simply a vivid hallucination brought on by a nightmare. She was extremely upset about what had occurred. She lay back down and started to cry. Stuart put his arms around her to provide some comfort and in the end she managed to fall back off to sleep.
In the morning Julie thought about what had taken place. She was surprised that Brutus did not seem to react at all to the presence of the being.
In late 2025 Julie purchased a second dog, a Labrador which she named "Samson". She feels that one of the driving forces behind this decision was because of what had taken place, which has weighed on her mind ever since. She informs me that her neighbourhood is friendly so she does not feel that she needed him for protection from other people. However, for an unknown reason she feels that Reptilians are not fond of dogs.
She does not know where this came from, but has not seen the being since so maybe there is some truth to it. That said, Knuckles was in the room at the time of the incident and that did not seem to stop it from appearing.
Orange Orb
Around 8:30pm on 10th October 2023 Julie stepped outside to go and pick up Lisa from Ledbury Fair, a street fair which takes place annually.
It was a dry, still and clear evening. She took a couple of steps along the drive and happened to glance into the sky.
Suddenly a glowing orb of orange-white light appeared in the sky to the South East at an elevation of around 60 degrees. It had a gradient to its brightness, with the centre being brighter than the outer edges. There was no tail visible behind it. It moved fast to the South across the sky on an arced trajectory over several seconds before vanishing into the distance.
The object appeared to be quite sizeable. She felt certain it had not been a meteorite or fast moving aircraft. Shocked at what she had just seen Julie stepped back through the open door into the hallway. She turned her head and stared wide-eyed at Timothy, who was sitting in the living room at the time.
Upon seeing her expression, he asked her “What have you seen?” She explained to him what had just taken place. Because of both of their prior experiences he fully believed her.
The object is unlikely to have been a meteorite as these are only visible for a second and tend to have a long tail behind them. It was moving too rapidly to have been a distant helicopter or drone. A sky lantern or orange coloured LED balloon caught in a fast air current cannot be entirely ruled out, although it appeared to be a still evening, at least at ground level.
The Greys Return
On the 8th January 2025 Julie was once again woken up in the night by the sense of something in the living room. She knew instinctively that the three Greys she had seen back in early 2022 had returned. However, she was no longer frightened by them.
She was lying on her back with her head facing towards the ceiling. For about five minutes she didn’t look at them. Eventually she did turn her head and open her eyes. As expected, the three of them were once again standing over by the door, which, like before, was open.
Instinctively she sensed that they meant her no harm. She lay there staring at them for a while. She felt comfortable with the fact there were there and was not threatened by their presence.
Julie feels that she must have blacked out, as the next thing she realised it was morning time. She was surprised to find that in addition to the vest top and pyjama bottoms she had gone to sleep in she was now also wearing one of her summer-weight jumpers and one of her daughter’s socks. She had not been wearing either the previous day. The jumper was one that had been packed away in a chest of drawers in a different room.
Throughout the following day she felt anxious like something bad was going to happen. However, to her knowledge nothing did, at least not to her directly. By the evening this feeling disappeared.
This is a fascinating incident which suggests that Julie may have been taken after she blacked out, although she has no recollection of this at present. Many people have reported suddenly blacking out against their will following visitation experiences, and in some of these cases they then have memories of being aboard craft.
There are also cases on record where people have reported finding themselves in different clothing or clothing put on incorrectly after such experiences, suggesting that the beings may have attempted to re-clothe them but done so incorrectly. There is of course the possibility that in some of these cases these individuals may have sleep walked and put the clothes on without being consciously aware of doing so.
While this cannot be ruled out, Julie says that she is not prone to this condition. That said, it seems odd that the beings would have gathered these clothing items from other rooms in the house and then dressed her up in them in addition to the night clothes she was already wearing.
Arm Bruises
One night later in the same year Julie had an unusual dream, one she cannot remember the precise details of. When she awoke in the morning and went for a shower she found bruises on her right arm which looked like finger marks, almost as if something had forcibly grabbed her. There were three elongated bruises on the top of her forearm and one underneath.
After her shower, she put on a T-shirt and headed downstairs. Mark’s daughter saw the markings and commented on them.
During the day Julie felt quite disturbed by the markings and wondered if a being had grabbed hold of her in the night. The markings slowly vanished over the next couple of days. Sadly she did not take a photograph of them.
I asked Julie whether the markings could have been caused by Mark reaching out and grabbing her arm in his sleep. She said that this was unlikely as he always sleeps soundly and does not tend to move around. I also asked her if they could have been insect bites but she says they looked the wrong shape and did not itch in the way bites usually do.
Rear View Mirror
At around 10pm on an evening in October Julie drove with Timothy to pick up Lisa from a friend’s house. It was quite dark, but dry, clear and still. On the return journey Timothy sat in the passenger seat, and Lisa sat on the back seat.
They were driving West along Crowfield Lane and approaching the T-junction with the B4215. Just before arriving at the junction Julie prepared to brake by looking in the rear view mirror.
She was shocked to see a figure sitting on the back seat alongside Lisa. The figure appeared male but non-human. He had blue-grey coloured skin, elongated facial features, a large forehead and high set black coloured eyes. He was wearing dark coloured clothing.
The face of the being reminded her a little of the famous painting by Norwegian artist Edvard Munch entitled “The Scream”:
Upon seeing the figure Julie immediately slammed on the brakes. As she did, Timothy shouted out “What’s wrong?” Julie immediately arced her head round to look, but there was nothing there. As she didn’t want to frighten Lisa un-necessarily she simply responded saying “Oh nothing, don’t worry. Thought I saw something.”
Julie has not seen the being before or since, despite driving using the same junction on other occasions, so does not believe it was caused by a trick of the light at that particular location.
Possible Surveillance?
In early December Julie began to notice people behaving strangely in her vicinity. Numerous incidents took place within the space of a single week.
The first incident involved a dark coloured saloon car with two dark haired men sat in it which was parked on Winding Pool Close opposite to the house. They were there a good while before seemingly driving away.
Later on Julie decided to take the dogs out for a walk. That’s when she noticed the same vehicle once again parked up in a lay-by. A number of days later she had driven to a car park close to where she lives, and once again noticed the same vehicle.
On another early morning she was taking the dogs a walk around the local church yard. It was about 6:30am. She noticed a man sat in the church porch. She felt uneasy as it was quite unusual for anyone to be around at that time of morning, so decided to leave the church yard and walk home via a different route to usual.
Just as she was walking up her road, she noticed the same man behind the wheel of a grey coloured VW transport van. She did not want to go into her house while he was around as she didn’t want him to know where she lives.
The van drove past really slowly, reached the end of the cul-de-sac and turned around. But instead of driving away it then parked up. Julie waited and eventually the van drove away and she was able to enter her house.
On a day soon after this incident two men and a woman came to the front door. They claimed to be Jehovah’s Witnesses. She had Jehovah’s Witnesses come to the door before, but had not met these individuals before. This was not particularly suspicious of course, but something else took place which made her doubt their authenticity.
She had come across an audio book of King James bible (An early modern English translation of the Christian bible for the Church Of England), and decided out of general interest to start listening to it. When she mentioned this to the people at the door they seemed to have no clue as to what this was.
She did not say anything at the time, but she immediately became suspicious of them, as surely they would have heard of this with their strict religious upbringing?
While these incidents did occur in relatively quick succession, there is nothing directly linking them. Although in some contact cases surveillance does appear to be an aspect, it is also possible that these were just normal civilians acting oddly in various ways.
The Silhouette
Julie works at a hair salon. At the end of one of her shifts in late December she had just exited the building out into a courtyard area. Due to the time of evening there should have been nobody else around.
As she stepped out of the doorway she felt like she was being watched. She looked over to her left at an adjacent building. Standing in front of one of the windows was what appeared to be the silhouette of a humanoid figure. It was visible because of light that was passing through the building from the other side.
The figure was approximately 6 feet in height. Suddenly, as if realising it had been spotted by her, it stepped sideways away from the window into the darkness. Julie was frightened so ran up an alleyway to get away from the area.
The salon has a CCTV camera set up which watches the entrance to the courtyard. Theoretically there would be no way for someone to enter the courtyard without being captured on it. But when she checked the footage there was no sign of anyone entering or leaving. The courtyard also has motion sensor lights which come on automatically when someone enters it, but again there was no sign of these being activated.
The origin of the figure remains a mystery to this day, but Julie feels that it cannot have been a normal civilian.
Conclusions
Julie has had a wide variety of fascinating experiences throughout her life. While some are clearly contact related, involving types of beings regularly reported by others, some of her other experiences seem to suggest she possesses psychic abilities and may be able to sometimes see ghostly apparitions.
One of her most intriguing experiences is arguably her initial visitation by the group of Greys involving the words one of them said to her, and the strange vision of the damaged building. At present we have no idea of the location seen in the vision, nor the identity of the floating lady. Nor do we have an understanding of the spoken phrase, despite extensive investigation. Perhaps answers to these aspects will come to light in due course.
I would like to thank Julie for the extensive amount of time she has given up in order to make this case report a reality. This appears to be an on-going case so I hope she will keep in touch. If she does report any further incidents they may well be added to this report, so do check back from time to time.
