Questions for THEWATCHER

[THEWATCHER]

1970. My research centred at this time on reports of lights and structured craft being seen near and entering/leaving the waters of the
two large reservoirs near Enfield. The William Girling and King George reservoirs. Opposite lies an area off Sewardstone road known as Barn Hill. This will crop up again in later years.

In March of 1970 two young Enfield children went missing, searches included the reservoirs. In june of 1970 the two bodies were found in a copse near Barn Hill. The location where the bodies were discovered, in a small copse, lies less than 400yds from a main road. Great mystery surrounds the death of these two young children. A press blackout ensued and any investigation or enquiry met with stonewalling. The families were told not to speak with anyone and were moved away from the area. Strange that even in a mild summer the official word, what few of them there was, was that the children died from exposure.

My interest, as stated, was due to the almost flap conditions in the area, so many reports of lights and objects being reported almost daily. A tip off from a friend alerted me to the events of the day when the two children were found. My friend called round to see me and mentioned all hell was breaking loose at the location. I went to see for myself. It did look very strange. So many police, others in plain clothing, and then the stranger part, army there in numbers too. Speculation was rampant within the scores of joe public types stood along the roadside held back by police. I moved along, asking questions here and there but no one knew what was going on.
A great deal of activity could be seen at and around the small copse, not far from the ridge. Police and army personnel. Police officers carried two blanket covered stretchers from the copse and headed for the official vehicles parked nearby. Then more army personnel went up to the copse carrying spades and sacks.

In short, the topsoil was removed from the copse where the two bodies were found. Years later the grass barely grew within the copse. Very little information was given out afterwards, the press played the whole thing down, the official word was the unfortunate deaths were due to exposure to the elements. In June, and less than 400yds from a main road and civilisation.

Sadly, as is life, this soon became forgotten and local life continued. So did the spate of sightings in the area. I tried to obtain info from as many official sources as possible, snooping everywhere trying to find any scrap of data regarding the events connected to the deaths. I trod on several toes and probably peed off many people with my incessant enquiries.

As an aside, a few months later, we noticed, over a period of several nights, two people sitting in a car whom simply sat there, occasionally looking over towards our home. Most of my family commented on this, and my parents came close to phoning the police more than once. At that time I was working night shifts at Fords and sometimes decided to take the bus which meant i had to pass by the car and go across the park to the bus stop on the A13 Ripple road. I did this 3 times over 3 nights. The same couple in the car, watching nothing in particular, and as soon as i left my home they looked over towards me and watched till i passed their car.
A strange little piece of trivia i agree, no harm came of it, after several more nights of sitting there for a few hours, they simply showed up no more.

(please excuse if this makes little sense in places, its late here as i type, after 2am).

In December of 1970, a few weeks after this car event above, I was driving to work at Fords one night when I suffered a near fatal car crash. That put paid to my investigations for a while LOL.

Next..........1972 and my first run in with MIBs, only these black suited gentlemen were of the NSA variety. With their green Mercedes car sporting false (unissued) number plates.

Back soon...............
