‘I walked into a magical supplies and Pagan shop on *** in Cambridge. I was talking to the proprietor (who was behind the counter) when I saw a face out of the corner of my eye, on my right-hand-side. It looked like a carved wooden face with almond-shaped eyes. I turned to bring it into full view, thinking that the proprietor had acquired a new artifact for sale. There was no object on the shelf that remotely resembled what I had seen. The proprietor said that on other days, candles would fly out of the shelves and across the shop (they were stacked horizontally on the shelves).’ ‘I just saw the face, brown and textured like smooth wood, and with almond eyes.’
