He touched her sister with a dagger, and then vanished or walked out through the wall, I don't remember which. A week later, my Mum said, her sister, perfectly healthy before that night, was dead. <br /><br />My Mum was 100% serious about having had the visitation, but since she had recurring brain-chem problems as an adult that required repeated hospitalisations, I was never quite sure how to interpret the story.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7018073541417646773.post-23382442148506044042017-10-18T09:18:30.120-04:002017-10-18T09:18:30.120-04:00The late George (né Georgi) Papashvili, who grew u...The late George (né Georgi) Papashvili, who grew up in the tiny village of Kobiaantkari in Georgia, maintained that he and some friends as teenagers discovered an underwater entrance to a cave, swam in, and found skeletal remains of giant ("skulls the size of bushel baskets") humans or humanoids. When skeptics claimed the bones were those of non-humans, he responded that he and his friends were village kids well-acquainted with the difference between human and non-human skulls, and that the skulls were definitely human or humanoid. <br /><br />He was a pretty down-to-earth guy, by all accounts -- trained as a traditional leather worker, a sniper in WW1, and a post-war immigrant to the US where he worked at a number of different blue-collar jobs before eventually making something of a name for himself, first with his American spouse, Helen, as a writer, and later as a sculptor. Not someone with any obviously-loose screws in his head.
