[THEWATCHER]

As I moved into my new home in the small Cotswolds village in March of 1979 my whole life changed. Although losing most of my contacts initially I soon re-established these links. During the first 6 months of moving in I received literally hundreds of visitors. Ranging from local and not so local ufo investigators/researchers, the media got wind of my new address, plus assorted Military and Intel types, British and American. I even received a request from the then nearby RAF Kemble to give a talk to RAF aircrews on the topic of Ufos. West Country researchers from not so far away Warminster descended upon my home at all hours. I was kept on my toes by this as you can imagine. An interview with BBC Bristol was also arranged. Gossip in small villages we all know about and here was no exception. Who was this young whippersnapper from London who has moved here? He gets so many people calling at his home including Military, what gives? LOL LOL. Also, on a downside, I soon became aware of many strange, often terrifying things happening in this house, paranormal events. Lucky for me I was somewhat used to strange things so these did not faze me too much, even when I was shoved down the stairs by unseen hands whilst in the house alone. In May Andy and his then girlfriend called at my home to pass me copies of our first edition of our glossy magazine "Strange Phenomena". A research mag put together by its 3 founders, myself, Andy Collins and parapsychologist Graham Phillips. Published from our HQ (Grahams home) in Wolverhampton. Months later we published issue 2, after that we lost financial backing and issue 3 never saw the light of day. I tried to explain discreetly to Andy during this brief visit of all the weird stuff going down. He sensed much but could do little. I kept a record of events and posted a letter to Norman Oliver in London, asking him to keep these confidential, I simply wanted someone to know what was happening. Also during this time period, as this will have a direct bearing on later events. My then wife was watching TV one evening, I was busy checking some paperwork. She called over to me to look at the TV screen saying something to the effect of "Look, Dr Jolly, thats my doctor". I looked up and at the TV to see some guys picture and his name underneath. Was not paying too much attention but later it fitted in with things. She had pointed out as being her doctor Dr Louis West. Months later I found out whom he was and what he was famous for.
