Min Min

by Fi McConachie

“The light came on, floating as airily as a bubble, moving with comparative slowness ... I should estimate now that it was moving at about 10 m.p.h. and anything from 5 to 10 feet above the ground… Its size, I would should say, at an approximate guess, would be about that of a new-risen moon.”

“That light and I passed each other, going in opposite directions. I kept an eye on it while it was passing, and I'd say it was about 200 yards off when suddenly it just faded and died away. It did not go out with a snap -its vanishing was more like the gradual fading of the wires in an electric bulb. The mare acknowledged the dowsing of the glim by another snorting whistle.”

Henry Lamond - 1912

"Four days ago 3 young children at Lawson Station were reported missing. It appears that the children wandered away from the homestead during the night. It is unclear why the children would leave their rooms at this time. Bill Lawson, the father of the missing children, has been helping police with enquires but to date no further information to their whereabouts has been discovered. Police are also talking to Jack 'Gulgulli' Jones, a local black."
