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. | 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.

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]]. | Iain awoke in [[bed]] the next [[morning]] and learnt that he and the other villagers had all been missing for three days.

Iain takes Isla and Doug to the church to retrace his steps and remembers that Torchwood read [[myth]]s of the Devil visiting Llandyth every few [[century|centuries]] to make the villagers play games which not everybody would survive, most recently in [[1702]]. He admitted that he walked widdershins around Llandyth Rock, which Torchwood then inspected and identified as an [[antenna]] left behind by the cataloguers to help them return. It was thus a coincidence that Iain walked around it when he did. | |||
