Lucy Palmer is a former security officer and a
Wiccan. She shared with me the unsettling and bizarre story of Shelagh
and her partner, Robert, and their disturbing immersion into the fraught
domain of the Men in Black:
“They lived together as partners since meeting in 1983, when the
paranormal experiences began almost immediately. At the time this
occurred Robert was working in a supermarket and Shelagh was at home
alone. It was August 1991 and Shelagh was in the kitchen when she heard
the front door bell ring. The building was a terraced house on a very
busy Oxford Road in Reading [England]. The house had a flight of seven
or eight stone steps up to the front door. This was the kind of house
with another set of steps leading to a below street level basement room.
Shelagh went to the front door which had a large pane of frosted glass
in it, meaning you could see the shadow of anyone standing outside. But
what struck Shelagh is that she could not see the dark form of anybody
waiting outside, so her initial thought was that they might have gone
down to the basement door.
“She opened the door and was confronted by a man with a broad smile
on his face, so the suggestion is that he had been stood outside but
cast no shadow on the glass! He wore an immaculate black suit, white
shirt and black tie. She described his suit as ‘too perfect to be real,
with perfect creases in the legs. She reported his shirt as a very
dazzling white, hypnotically so. She particularly noticed that he didn’t
have a single bead of sweat on his face or staining his shirt collar,
even though it was a very hot, cloudless day. His eyes were black and
his skin a Mediterranean olive. He carried a brand new briefcase in his
right hand. Shelagh was a former police officer, having served in the
Rhodesian Special Branch in the 1950s and 1960s. With her experience she
has on many occasions demonstrated a good sense of recall which is why
she took all this visual information in the first moments of confronting
him.
“Then the weird part of her report is that although the road behind
him was a busy main road leading directly into the heart of Reading, she
gradually became aware of no traffic and no pedestrians passing, with
this, everything behind him seemed to slip out of focus. He, on the
other hand, still smiling inanely, became sharper focused and she could
do nothing about it. Shelagh says her vision was restricted, against her
wishes, to focus only on his presence. She could see a small metal pin
badge on his right suit jacket lapel and realized this item was what she
was continuing to stare at. It sounds like it was exerting a hypnotic
fascination. Shelagh never was able to describe what he badge was
because even though she was concentrating on it, she found it challenged
her by continually slipping out of focus. He then spoke, there was an
accent, foreign, probably European, but she could not place it:
“‘Hello, is Robert in?’
“‘No, he’s at work.’
“‘Oh okay,’ the MIB replied, ‘When is he home?’
“‘Probably about 6 this evening.’
“The MIB continued to smile as something very strange then happened.
It was like a sudden jump in a film because the next moment he was stood
two steps further down, but he hadn’t physically moved. Still smiling,
he then told her: ‘You do need to stop what you are doing.’ Then the
jump happened a second time and he was stood down on the pavement, all
the time perfectly motionless with hands and briefcase held rigidly at
his side. Still smiling and looking up at her. Then the next ‘jump’ and
he had turned to face the left, (her right). Then he started to walk
away – this being the first actual physical movement she was aware of.
“The moment he was out of sight she stepped out of the porch
expecting him to be walking along the pavement or getting into a car –
but he had disappeared. At that point she realized the street sounds had
returned and the usual stream of traffic had resumed. She walked along
the street, looking down the only side-road close by, but didn’t see
him, or him in any vehicle. She told Robert about this when he got home
and it was documented as another weird encounter. There was no follow up
and he never returned physically.
“Shelagh had a long history of remarkable clairvoyance, in the 60s she had been a High Priestess in a Wiccan coven.
So her occult presence was long and experienced. In the 1970s she
appeared to undergo an abduction experience. Then when she met Robert in
the early 1980s they received many communications from spirit guides
alluding to a ‘mission.’ This messaging, received through Shelagh as the
medium was accompanied with a string of paranormal events – the MIB
being just one of them.
It’s very weird accounts like this one told by Lucy Palmer that
demonstrate the Men in Black are not “secret agents” of “the
government.” They are much stranger than that…
