Chrono Cadet
While a woman named Laura Jean Daniels was walking home late from work one night, she looked up at the moon and reflected on the astronauts who had landed there. When she returned her gaze to ground level, her surroundings were no longer familiar. "Even the pavement on the sidewalk was gone," Daniels said. "I was walking on a brick path." The houses along the street had also disappeared, and several hundred feet ahead of her, at the end of the brick path, was a cottage she had never seen before. There was a heavy scent of roses and honeysuckle in the air. Puzzled and frightened, she continued along the path. As she neared the cottage she saw a man and woman "in very old-fashioned clothes" sitting in the garden. "They were embracing, and as I drew closer I could see the expression on the girl's face," Daniels told reporter. "Believe me, she was in love." Daniels, embarrassed to be witnessing so intimate a scene, was wondering how she could discreetly make her presence known, when a small dog came charging through a bush, barking madly. The animal "was quivering all over," Daniels said. "The man looked up and called to the dog to stop barking, and asked him what he was barking at." At that point Daniels realized the man "couldn't see me..... and yet I could smell the flowers and feel the gate beneath my hand." Confused, she turned and looked behind her- and saw her old familiar surroundings. "There was my street!" she related, "but I could still feel the gate in my hand." However, when she turned back to look towards the cottage again, it was not there. Instead, she said,"I was standing right in the middle of my own block, just a few doors from home." She never saw the cottage or the couple or the dog again. It was as if Laura Jean Daniels had briefly slipped through time, or space- or perhaps both.
