My name is Rod Devlin and I never believed that some people could see ghosts, spirits and other things which were invisible to the rest of us. I assumed these people, who claimed they could, were frauds and charlatans.

The start of my journey, of discovery and the terror I was to experience, began with the Physicist Niels Bohr and one of his theories of quantum mechanics. He postulated that everything was in flux and was therefore continually in motion until we looked at it and only then does it become fixed and visible.

I thought if Bohr’s theory is true when using light, which is the medium we use to see, then what would we see if we used a different medium.

I was a consultant to a company which concentrated on communications.

I had free run of their laboratory which gave me access to advanced equipment, so I started experimenting with wavelengths that were outside of our visible range and beyond what is used in science today.

I also made a viewing mechanism, similar to 3D Glasses, which would operate in my new medium.

I almost dropped the mechanism the first time I switched it on. The shock I experienced made me think twice about using it again.

Eventually my curiosity overcame my shock and I started looking again through my viewing mechanism, which I named the Visor. I was looking into a new world. The figures I could see looked human and were dressed in a recognisable manner. However, that was where the normal comparison ended. I tried to avoid colliding with them as they walked towards me; however, there was no need as they passed straight through me. It was obvious that I was invisible to them. Whilst I could not see the walls of the room in which I was standing, I could now see other buildings which did not exist in my own world.

The apprehension I had first felt when I used the Visor turned into a mania to witness this New World and make a written record of what I could see.

I modified the Visor so that I could see the New World then with a flick of a switch I could see my world, otherwise I was likely to walk into a ‘my world’ wall or worse still; get hit by a ‘my world’ car.

Over the months that followed, I spent every possible free daylight hour viewing it. I followed people, I call them ‘people’ as I had no other word to describe them and found that they conversed with each other, but unfortunately, I could not hear any sounds as my only medium into their world was visual. Occasionally, I would come across a ‘person’ who would suddenly look in my direction with a puzzled look on their face. They would stare at the space I was occupying as if they could sense my presence. I would imagine that in their world they would be regarded as frauds and charlatans; a salutary lesson for me, considering my earlier views.

After about 3 months of using the Visor, I noticed a young woman who seemed to be following me. If I turned to look at her, she would scurry away and hide behind a building; she would then peer around the corner of the building to check whether I was still looking for her. After a while I became accustomed to her presence and tried to observe her surreptitiously. It became clear that she could see me, but whilst brave enough to follow me, was too frightened to approach me. Whilst she was dressed the same way as the other females were, in what could be described as a white uniform, she seemed to have individualised it. In my world she would be described as a ‘hippy’. She also appeared to be more ‘alive’, if I can use that wording in this context, than the other ‘people’ I had seen.

I had to assume she could see me and not see the other humans of my world, otherwise why would she concentrate on me. I came to the conclusion that the Visor was the difference between me and other people. I assumed that if I switched the Visor off I would disappear from her view. But unfortunately she would also disappear from my view. Therefore, I worked out a sequence; I would switch the Visor off for a few seconds, move closer to her, then switch it back on and check her behaviour.

So one day when she had followed me for some time, I initiated the sequence. I switched the Visor off then moved quite closer to her and then switched it on. She looked shocked. This reaction from her proved to me that the Visor was
