[00:43.17]Anyway, he was startled¹ to find
[00:45.72]that I was lying next to him
[00:48.61]and that it wasn't me at the foot of the bed,
[00:52.13]so he began to really try to see who it was.
[00:57.02]He told me it was difficult at first to focus
[01:00.60]because he didn't have his contacts in,
[01:05.07]but as he took a good look,
[01:07.37]he could see there was no body, just a head.
[01:13.01]Even though his vision² wasn't as clear
[01:15.89]as he would have liked,
[01:18.10]he made an effort to see who was there
[01:20.51]and said he could make out a woman's head
[01:23.11]that was quite skeletal
[01:25.77]and appeared to have a lot of make-up on,
[01:29.11]lipstick and eye make-up, he said, very made up.
[01:36.05]The woman's head seemed to have long hair
[01:39.16]and some kind of big hat that has a sash
[01:42.32]that goes over the top and ties underneath³ the chin⁴.
[01:47.05]He said the head started floated up over the bed,
[01:51.45]over my side of the bed rather than his side of the bed,
[01:56.82]but he said, she seemed to be looking right at him.
[02:01.09]He said when it got towards the headboard,
[02:04.00]it suddenly vanished⁵.
[02:07.16]He said he was so freaked out
[02:09.13]that he just tried to go back to sleep,
[02:12.28]trying to forget what he had just seen
[02:14.84]until he finally did fall back asleep.
