At the suggestion of his [[doctor]], [[Claudia (Widdershins)|Claudia]], [[Iain Thompson|Iain]] records an audio [[diary]] with the help of his parents, [[Isla Thompson|Isla]] and [[Doug Thompson|Doug]], to give himself a sense of control over a supposed [[alien]] encounter he believes that he experienced.

He retells how he was obsessed with the supernatural when he was young and how he walked widdershins, i.e. anti-clockwise, around the [[Church of St Swithun]] and [[Llandyth Rock]], a [[standing stone]], to raise [[the Devil]]. The stone glowed and he found himself pulled into a fleshy [[spacecraft]] in the [[sky]] with the rest of [[Llandyth]]. He is unable to recall exactly what happened afterwards, but he felt that his [[eyeball]]s left their sockets and saw [[Gloria (Widdershins)|Gloria]] from the [[pub]] disassembled and kept alive with a funnel put into her [[mouth]]. He then understood that the same was happening to him. | ||
Iain awoke in [[bed]] the next [[morning]] and learnt that he and the other villagers had all been missing for three days. They proceeded to be taken by the [[British government|government]] to the [[college]] and interviewed about their whereabouts and whether they had seen anything strange, but Iain felt guilty for walking widdershins around the [[graveyard]] and decided not to tell them about the stone or the ship. The villagers came to believe that they had been the victims of a [[terrorism|terrorist]] [[gas]] attack and were returned home, after which Iain ran clockwise around the stone in the hopes of reversing what he had done. He then met two members of [[Torchwood Institute|Torchwood]], neither of whom Isla and Doug can recall, and agreed to show them around to ensure that he seemed [[innocence|innocent]]. | |||
