The First Transformation

On the evening of 12th April 1984 at about 11pm, I was about to say goodnight to Shelagh, and retire to bed. I kissed her on the forehead and then pulled my face back until I was something like six inches away. Then Shelagh saw me begin to change. She saw that from my left eye a misty whitish substance flowed, it flowed out and across my face.

Her description is of very bright, silvery tadpoles, each one clearly wriggling across my face and appearing to cast its own glow. This effect spread until it covered the entire surface of my head and neck.

At its climax Shelagh describes a very large-nosed alien head and neck on top of my shoulders. The wriggling mass covering my face and neck moulding itself until it took on the appearance of a large, hooked, almost beak-like appendage coming down so far that it slightly obscured the mouth-line.
But it is the effect of the eyes that she remembered most, she described them as dominating the whole face. She says that this is probably because they were a deep, almost totally dead blackness compared to the vibrant, silvery glow which the head gave off.
This effect lasted for, at most, a minute or two, certainly long enough for Shelagh to put questions. She asked me, “Do you know you are changing?” I did hear her, but felt an inability to answer. I was aware of what Shelagh has described, but aware of it as a gentle tingling sensation spreading across my face. Shelagh recalled  the alien nodded in answer to her question. Shelagh watched with total fascination, describing herself as transfixed by it.

This was the first full face transformation I had experienced. Shelagh later reminded me that she had sat in a number of Spiritualist trance medium circles and had experience of seeing what is known as ectoplasm, a substance produced by spirits to manifest a physical appearance. However, Shelagh said that stuff was dead and lifeless compared to what she saw spread across my face. This substance she said looked alive and energetic by comparison. The end of this episode was anti-climatic. I felt the energetic tingling begin to diminish and fade, at which point I could move my head and speak. I smiled and said 'you have just seen me'.

Although there was a difficulty in movement while this was happening, I did feel a real sense of freedom and liberation. something of me was reaching to the outside world and I enjoyed it immensely. Although I have little recall of it, shelagh said that at one point I did speak and told her 'the most beautiful things' that left her wanting to laugh and cry at the same time, she said the emotions reached a climax and was the most astounding sensation she had ever experienced.
