The Andreasson Affair (34 page)

Betty:
And they're still all sitting there motionless. Becky's sitting there and she's smiling and grinning. She seems to be
awake
—she's up, standing up, just smiling at me. [Then, abruptly, Becky's facial muscles stiffened again.] Oh-h-h [
Softly
]—Her expression isn't changing now. She seems
frozen
in that smile. Just standing up there in the living room.

Over the months following the hypnotic sessions, Becky began recalling some very interesting things. Apparently, one of the aliens was left behind as a babysitter for the family during Betty's absence! During a follow-up interview on June 8, 1978, investigator Jules Vaillancourt made a tape recording of Becky's account:

Becky:
It kept on popping up in my mind—that there was a being in the house that stayed there when Mom and all the other beings left. I was thinking, “That can't be, because they all went out with Mom. So how could there have been one with me and the kids and grandparents?” I couldn't believe it was true. During daily chores, it kept reoccurring and reoccurring in my mind and bugging me. There was a being that stayed there because he was talking with me. I took him through the house to show him the rooms where everybody slept and one room I was afraid to go in, which was the cellar.

They did not go into the cellar.

Jules:
What did he look like? Was he similar to Quazgaa, or was he like the other three?

All the beings were identical in appearance except for Quazgaa, who as a bit taller.

Becky:
No, he was like the other three. He was shorter and he was showing me balls of light in the air. Like, he—you know, if you played tic-tac-toe on the ground, right? Well, he made it up in the air, and balls of light were going wherever he made them—like a
juggler. He was showing me games, a lot of new things. It was a good feeling. I was having a lot of fun. I wasn't even afraid of the dark.

Apparently, the alien kept Becky awake only long enough to obtain certain information about the house, during which time he kept her happy by amusing her with the lights in the air.

Becky:
It didn't seem very long, and I saw my brothers and sisters on the couch and everything.

Jules:
What were they doing?

Becky:
Just sitting there.

Jules:
Were they moving around?

Becky:
No, but they had a—um—when they were just sitting there, they had a very peaceful, non-afraid—something I can't explain—so that there was no fear connected with looking at them, you know, frozen like that. Then, ah, besides the games, one time I was going to
talk
—I had been talking through mind telepathy, and I went to speak out a word audibly. And when I did, the word “warbled.” It went
whrew-whrew-whrew
, and it startled me. He put his hand on my shoulder and I wasn't afraid anymore. I just continued to talk through the mind.

If an entity were indeed left behind during Betty's absence, it would help explain a certain strange occurrence she had reported upon her return. When Betty was with the aliens, she obviously was under some type of mind control and did not remember that there had been an alien left behind in the house. During the hypnosis session covering the period of time, when she returned with her two companions, Betty never specifically stated that she saw three entities in the house. She did, however, make some puzzling statements in a portion of session eleven (June 26, 1977). Betty was in the living room, watching one of the two aliens going out the door with her children to bring them to bed. Her other companion stood silently beside her. Suddenly, she was startled to find another alien being standing beside her!

Betty:
Oh! That other one is just suddenly in front of me.
I didn't even see him come in
. He's just there.

Betty assumed that this was the same being that had left the room with her children. But she had not seen him re-enter the living room. He could have come in another door, but it would have meant walking way out of his way around the house. Interestingly enough, the same thing occurred when this being left the room with her mother and father. Again, Betty seemed to be left in the room with just one alien. However, no sooner had he left than Betty stated: “And suddenly that one is in front of me again!”

Was Betty unknowingly involved with
three
instead of
two
aliens? This would make it seem as if the second being kept appearing out of nowhere. If not, where was the
third
entity that both Betty and Becky think remained behind to guard the family? Had he returned to the ship after his two companions came back with Betty? Are Betty and Becky experiencing a true recall of events, or are their minds playing tricks on them? Because both Betty and Becky were in bed when the aliens left the house, we'll probably never know.

. Despite Betty's use of “Quazgar” on her drawings, we arrived at the spelling of “Quazgaa” for our report. In hypnosis session seven, Betty tried to spell his name phonetically and said, “I see a Z, A, A. Big Z, A, Z.” Nobody really picked up on this, unfortunately, and all of us, including Betty, pronounced and spelled the name with an “R” sound at the end. Later, when we began writing the final report, we referred to the transcript and checked with Betty. We finally agreed that “Quazgaa” best reflected the correct phonetic spelling.
