“Richard Williams” and three of his friends, Pat S, Nancy T, and Ross K were having lunch together at a coffee bar called “Stewarts” located on the south side of Dunedin’s Octagon. On that day the weather was cold and damp and all of the participants were feeling a bit under the weather, with headaches, etc. They sat around the table located opposite the stairs and quietly ate their lunches. All of the sudden time stood still. The noisy and busy coffee bar occupied by about 80 people turned into an absolutely silent place where everything froze. It looked like a still frame from a movie film. People were twisted in strange positions, frozen whilst performing movements. Their bodies looked comic and their positions seemed to be very unstable. Richard remembered a cloud of steam suspended motionlessly in a dynamic configuration above the expreso machine. He also remembered a waitress pulling out burning hot cakes from the oven, and sustaining their heat in the motionless hands. In the whole café only the four of them seemed to remain non affected, thus having the occasion to observe what actually happened. At the top of the stairs that led down to the coffee bar from street level an unusual man appeared. He was about 1.75 meters high and looked about 19 years old. He was dark, slim, thin, with olive skin and black wavy hair. His clothes looked normal, but displayed high taste and elegance. Everything about him looked strikingly perfect. The man was surrounded by a beautiful white glow, especially around his head and chest. The light seemed to be emitted not from him, but from the air that surrounded him. He glided down the stairs without moving his legs. He actually floated in the air slightly above the level of the stairs. Then he moved to the counter and stood first in the queue. As soon as he got there, everything started to happen normally again. People continued their actions from the point when they were suspended in motion. Everything looked as though nothing had happened. The man bought a glass of fruit juice and sat at the last free chair left at a 12-person table. He acknowledged the witnesses attention with a smile. They wanted to talk to him and find out more about his unusual arrival but there was no access to his chair. So they decided to leave the coffee bar and wait for him upstairs at the only way out. After about 5 minutes waiting and not seeing him pass, Richard went down to find that he was gone. There was no other exit from the coffee bar. The group was then surprised to find that their various ailments, which included, flu, migraine, etc were gone. About six weeks later they spotted him again. He stood at the top of the stairs, (at the same coffee shop) intending to enter the café. He moved his head in their direction in a kind of greeting. His clothes were the same, except that this time he was surrounded by a faint green glow. When he appeared nothing actually happened. He walked down as normal people do (his steps somehow lighter than normal humans) unnoticed by anyone but the witnesses. He again bought a glass of fruit juice and again sat in the same place. A few times he acknowledged their attention by a friendly look. This time we decided to interrupt him and to find out who he was. They wanted to stand up and come closer, but none of them could move. When finally they managed to stand up, they directed themselves out of the coffee bar seemingly against their will. Pat desperately tried to turn back to the stranger but her efforts failed. After a while Pat decided to return back to the coffee bar, only to find out hat he had already gone. They never met him again.
