published on May 30 2002 SELF-CONFESSED crop circle maker Matthew Williams says he and his colleagues have come across evidence of paranormal activity while working in Wiltshire fields at the dead of night. Mr Williams said that he has seen unidentified flying objects when out making crop circles, spotted strange black figures moving across the fields and then disappear into thin air and experienced weird time anomalies. The revelation was made on Monday when Mr Williams, who is the only person to be prosecuted for making a crop circle, gave an illustrated talk at Devizes Town Hall to more than 40 people on how, when and where the field formations are made. Mr Williams, who lives in Bishops Cannings, moved to the county in 1994 and started making crop circles to disprove the theories put forward by investigators that they were the work of extra-terrestrial beings. But he told his audience that humans who planned and created the formations have experienced guidance from the paranormal. He said: "On one occasion we were chased out of a field by small balls of light. We were already in two minds about making this circle. The vibes felt wrong. Later someone else made a circle in that field and it was much better than ours. We had been pushing against something paranormal and it had made its presence felt." He said he and his fellow crop circle makers had become more and more convinced that paranormal forces were working through them. "There have been occasions when we have made mistakes on circles which don't show up in the cold light of day," he said. Mr Williams said that the simplicity and crudity of formations early in the season is dead giveaway that they are man-made because circle makers are rusty after the long lay-off between harvest time and when crops started sprouting again. Later in the season, when the circle makers warmed up, the formations would get more complex. The basic piece of equipment is a `stomping board', a piece of wood fitted with hooks and rope, a tape measure, sticks, scissors and pencil torches. According to Mr Williams the giveaway on most man-made circles are the walk lines, along which the circle makers tried to lay out the design. Crop circles have even been made under the noses of investigators. Mr Williams spoke of the `buzz' of making a circle within 200 feet of onlookers who saw `a fog descend on the field and when it lifted, there was the circle'. Back to 2002 index |
