  At first the Lillys kept their sightings to themselves。 But gradually rumors began to circulate and carloads of people gathered on Camp Conley Road every night to watch the space people fly by。
  
  〃We've seen all kinds of things;〃 Mrs。 Lilly said。 〃Blue lights; green ones; red ones; things that change color。 Some of them have been so low that we thought we could see diamond…shaped windows in them。 And none of them make any noise at all。〃
  
  Automobiles near the Lilly home began to stall inexplicably。 And the Lillys' little ranch house became haunted soon after the lights started their nightly fly…overs。 Kitchen cabinet doors slammed in the middle of the night。 Once their living room door; which they locked with both a chain and snaplock at night; was standing ajar when they got up in the morning。 They heard loud metallic sounds; 〃like a pan falling;〃 and Mrs。 Lilly heard 〃a baby crying。〃 〃It sounded so plain;〃 she said; 〃that I looked around the house even though I knew there was no baby here。 It seemed to e from the living room 。。。 only a few feet away from me。〃
  
  One of my sillier…sounding questions is: 〃Did you ever dream there was a stranger in the house in the middle of the night?〃 When I directed this question at the Lillys; Jackie Lilly urged her quiet sixteen…year…old daughter; Linda; to tell about the 〃nightmare〃 she had had that March。 She was reluctant to discuss it; but with a little coaching from the sidelines she explained how she woke up one night and saw a large figure towering over her bed。
  
  〃It was a man;〃 she said。 〃A big man。 Very broad。 I couldn't see his face very well but I could see that he was grinning at me。〃
  
  〃Jim was working on the river that night;〃 Mrs。 Lilly added。 〃And Linda woke me up with a terrible scream。
  
  She cried out there was a man in her room。 I told her she was dreaming。 But she screamed again。〃
  
  〃He walked around the bed and stood right over me;〃 Linda declared。 〃I screamed again and hid under the covers。 When I looked up again; he was gone。〃
  
  〃She came running into my room;〃 Mrs。 Lilly said; 〃She cried; There is a man in my room! There is!' She's refused to sleep alone ever since。〃
  
  When I asked for a description of the stranger; Linda said she thought he had been wearing a 〃checkered shirt。〃
  
  Bedroom phantoms in checkered shirts are old hat to investigators of psychic phenomena。 I have e upon this again and again。 So often that I have written long articles about it。 In some cases these ghosts…in…plaid are acpanied by the odor of hydrogen sulfide and sudden chills or sudden blasts of heat; while other episodes are probably purely hypnopompic。 That is; they are the residue of dreams which overlap briefly into the waking state 。。。 a phenomenon well…known in psychiatry and parapsychology。
  
  I once enjoyed a hypnopompic experience myself。 In the winter of 1960…61 I contracted walking pneumonia 。。。 and I walked with it until I dropped。 Early one morning while I was still quite sick and my system was laden with antibiotics and drugs I woke up and saw a large black form hovering at the foot of my bed。 It wasn't a man in a checkered shut but was roughly the shape of a Coca…Cola bottle。
  
  〃What do you know? I'm having an hallucination;〃 I told myself as I lifted my head and studied the apparition。 The blob slowly receded; growing smaller and smaller until it disappeared。 The experience was never repeated。

  Drasin and Estrella returned to New York City in late March while I decided to remain on in Point Pleasant。 Dan was convinced that something exceptional was happening in the Ohio valley and he planned to collect a camera crew and return。 We had seen a number of odd aerial lights but the oddest of all was so bewildering I didn't even bother to take notes。
  
  We were standing on a hilltop outside of Point Pleasant one night when Mrs。 Hyre called our attention to a bright red light slowly moving toward us。 It had the shimmering; prismatic appearance of the classic UFO light and Dan; who was a student pilot; agreed it wasn't a plane。 No normal wing lights or taillights were visible。 The sky was crystal…clear and there was only one small cloud overhead。 The light moved very slowly and appeared to be at a low altitude。 There was no sound whatsoever。
  
  We watched as the light slowly approached the little cloud and disappeared into it; or over it。 Then we waited for it to reappear。 Seconds ticked into minutes。 The light did not e out from behind the cloud。 〃Maybe it went straight up;〃 Mary suggested。
  
  Suddenly there was the distinctive drone of an airplane engine and the obvious silhouette of a small plane emerged from the cloud; wing and taillights flashing。 It buzzed off at an altitude of three or four thousand feet And we laughed at ourselves; momentarily convinced that our UFO had just been an airplane。
  
  However; the more I thought about the incident the more incredible it seemed。 We should have been able to see the plane's silhouette clearly before it entered the cloud; and it should not have taken so long to pass through such a small cloud。 Something was definitely out of kilter。
  
  Later; I began to study the mystery airplanes and phantom helicopters that have appeared all over the world; and several reports of UFOs that seemingly turned into conventional airplane configurations surfaced。 One of the most recent es from Canada where a group of out…doorsmen on the Cowichan River in British Columbia watched a low…flying object in October 1973。 (1)
  
  〃It didn't make a sound and it was something we had never seen before;〃 one of the witnesses reported。 〃There were three red lights rotating around the top part and there were blinking red lights going in the opposite direction around the middle part。 There was another light at the very top…a red flashing one。
  
  〃Then; from the bottom; a white light shone out like a spotlight。 It moved its beam up the river as if it was looking for something。 By this time we were all pretty scared。 We thought sure the others at the camp must have seen it; too; but afterward they said they hadn't seen a thing。

  There was a bend in the river between us so I couldn't say for sure whether they did or not。〃
  
  The witnesses claimed they got a good look at the thing; that it was circular; about eighty feet in diameter; hovering about two hundred feet in the air; and had been in view for a full fifteen minutes。
  
  How did it depart?
  
  〃Well; if we told people about this; they'd think we were crazy;〃 the witness said。 〃But all of a sudden it looked as if it had turned into an airplane。 It made a noise like a plane and it looked like a plane; only all the lights went out except for a little red one。 It went right past us and disappeared over the trees。〃
  
  Throughout West Virginia I had heard stories of large; gray; unmarked airplanes hedgehopping the treacherous hills。 I knew the air national guard kept some cargo planes at the Charleston airport and that some training flights involved hedgehopping to keep below radar beams。 But none of the flights reported to me proved to be the work of the national guard。
  
  Drasin and Estrella had hardly started out for New York when all hell began to break loose。 Late on the afternoon of March 31; a workman in the Point Pleasant lumber yard saw a glowing object hovering over the home of Mrs。 Doris Deweese。 Shortly afterward; Mrs。 Deweese watched a luminous object zip across the sky and crash into a small shack on a neighboring hillside。 The shack housed the transmitter for Sheriff Johnson's police; radio。 It started to burn。
  
  What followed was straight out of the Keystone Kops。 The police and fire department rushed to the snow…covered hill and bogged down on the mushy dirt road。 There was much frantic scurrying and cursing as the men battled the blaze。 Part of the hillside was badly scorched。 The transmitter inside the shack was not affected by the fire but it was burned out; as if it had been struck by lightning。 So in the critical days that followed; the sheriffs department was without its main transmitter。
  
  I was disenchanted with the TNT area because of the crowds that were now streaming back there nightly to watch for the newest sensation…flying saucers。 I started searching for a private place where I could carry out my observations quietly。 Don; Dan; Mary; and myself had interviewed a number of people in the little munity of Gallipolis Ferry; a couple of miles south of Point Pleasant on Route 2; and I had been impressed by their testimony。 House lights frequently dimmed there and television sets often acted up late at night。 Great blobs of light had been seen on top of the wooded hills in the sparsely settled animal preserve called the Chief Cornstalk Hunting Grounds just south of the village。 One resident was having trouble with poltergeist phenomenon 。。。 lights moving through his house; rappings on the doors and windows; the sounds of babies crying
