Hello, we've got a truly weird experience to discuss today.

It comes from David and happened when he was a student.

He explains one afternoon after lectures.

I had two female friends with me in my room.

It was a knock at the door and a student

from another university breezed in saying she was studying psychology and looking for subjects

to use in a questionnaire. I agreed and she closed the door and sat at the top end of my bed.

At the other end was a folded blanket. A few minutes of questioning passed when the centre of

the blanket slowly rose up and from under

there appeared the head of what I can only describe as being something like a seal. It had whiskers

and no ears. It was black as were its eyes which turned in their sockets to look at me. Then slowly

the head went back down and disappeared.

The psychology student screamed and feared and rushed out of the room.

My friends asked, what was it? I replied,

It's all right. I don't know why I said that, but somehow I knew it was all right.

It sounds bonkers, but the way the creature looked at me was as if it was saying,

uh-oh, I'm in the wrong place, before disappearing sheepishly.

We searched the room, pulling the place apart, they found nothing.

The event was so strange.

Had there not been other witnesses, I don't think I would have believed it really happened.

Utterly bizarre, thank you, David.
