Before you go on to complete the rest of this form it is important that you are emotionally, and psychologically prepared.

First, wherever you are try to relax, slow down your breathing, and become aware of your peripheral vision. It is good to be aware of the hustle and bustle that is around you. Later you can use that noise to disconnect from your usual “ego”.

Read the page below titled “Mental Excursion”. Take your time..

..The more you slow your mind down, the deeper you can delve as you sift through it.

Next read (if you haven’t already), print out the jpeg file called “witness_drawing.jpeg” and make your drawing on it. This will be of the flunstellas as you remember them. Then scan it into your computer and attach it to the email along with this document. Send them both to.

Alternatively you may choose to use some digital means of producing the image such as in paint or photoshop.

Remember flunstellas appear differently to different people. Try and be as creative as you can. Represent what was different about the way the flunstellas appeared to you, use whatever material, or style you think best represents your experience.

Mental Excursion

We have found a general pattern amongst these first hand flunstella experiences,,,

Following this pattern,

We’d like to take you back to a time when life was quite hard.

It was a time when maybe you had given up hope.

The pattern repeats the convergence of two events, time and time again.

One is internal and the other external.

First the internal event would have been that, for some reason you had given up on your dreams, someone maybe yourself, had let you down.

You’d hit a brick wall….you’d given up hope.

Simultaneously you would have found yourself in a social space, amongst people. Sometimes this may have been a waiting room, a supermarket, a pub or on public transport…?…?

We’d like to take you back there…to find out if you discovered

redemption, as you lost yourself.

Picture the scene.

Wherever you were, think! Was it busy?.. What time of day was it?

As you mood sunk you found yourself fading out of the situation…

Your ego was evaporating….

You realize that everyone else in the room also has had similar pain in their life. Your focus becomes diffused, your peripheral vision widens and widens…

You feel yourself lifting away from your body, as you pull up, floating, seeing in many direction’s at once. As you lose their sensation you realize just how tired and tense your muscles were.

As you float up, taking in the whole room, you start to notice movement, things moving subtly across each other, in a multitude of directions, at varying speeds. You start to see ideas, memories and emotions as they slowly become visible, moving around the room.

Eventually after some time you realize…

These ideas and memories are not yours.

You can see people’s fears, their work memories, images from their childhoods, secrets they tell no-one.

Maybe you can tell who these ideas belong to. Maybe you can’t. You can see how these ideas relate to each other, how one links to others near it, they are connected in a way that resembles constellations.

They move in unison like flocks of birds, or shoals of fish.

Briefly describe any previous paranormal experiences, you believe you may have had:

Up until now none – I was a little skeptical before now.

In your own words describe the (flunstellas) phenomenon as you experienced it:

I was at a friends party, a little tipsy and it was around half twelve at night. It had been a bad night and I’d just had a fight with my best mate. I phoned a taxi to go home but they said they’d be about 45 mins.

I slumped onto the sofa to wait. Half awake and half drunken stupor I thought I saw something out of the corner of my eye. It’s hard to describe but it was as though black swirls slung through the air and rested on the faces of some of the people at the party.

It was like somebody had drawn cartoons over the faces of a group of lads drinking in the corner they looked so funny I couldn’t stop laughing but as I blinked they were gone.

The guys that they had touched were oblivious they had no idea what had happened

Describe any individual elements of the flunstella, (flunstellements) that stand out in your memory:

The most memorable thing was the effect that I had on me – before I felt as though all I wanted to do was go home and go to sleep but after I felt really giddy and ended up canceling the taxi and staying at the party until the end

How did the flunstellas move through the space?

Like oil swirling in water

Did the flunstellas appear to be the mind projections of one person or several?

Not sure – I think one

How did the different flunstellas interact with one another?

They were like a flock of birds – all moving in the same way but with no real sign of communication. They seemed to swirl around the room until they found the right people to interact with to make me laugh.

There was no sound – if felt like in the seconds that I saw them that all the sound around me disappeared

Where were you when you saw the flunstellas? (Please describe the situation, what was the social context?)

I was at a party in a house in Liverpool. It was a small two bed, terraced house. I was in the front room. There were 9 people in the room. 4 lads talking in the corner, two couples kissing and me.

What are your memories of the people in that situation?

Drunk – really drunk. The couples were kind of in their own world and the lads were being a little obnoxious and telling rude jokes.

Please describe your emotional state, in the moments immediately prior to

your experience (include any stress stimuli):

I’d just had an argument so I was really angry and had planned to storm off home. When I found out that the taxi was gonna be ages I kinda felt a bit depressed and had decided to just wait it out. Then I kinda felt a bit sleepy

For the next part of the form you will need to use the Microsoft Word drawing tool. If you know how to use this then you can skip to page 12. Otherwise follow the instructions below.
