The Man from Taured story is a most interested one as it could indeed depict a "real" factor; real in the sense that perhaps there are parallel worlds where individuals do sometimes end up temporarily in the wrong scenario. There is a story of a U.S. Army soldier stationed in Germany during the Reagan Administration. The soldier got off a graveyard shift, returned his barracks room and tried to go to sleep in his bunk. Before, he had locked the entrance door and turned off the lights. It wasn't long before he heard someone walk up to the door from out in the hallway, opened the door like it was never locked, entered the room and stopped in the middle of the darkened room as if looking around. The soldier in the bunk was surprised because he was certain he had locked that door. Suddenly, the soldier heard this individual's foot steps rushed up to his bunk, grabbed him by the shoulders and tried to throw him out. Instinctively the soldier pushed the intruder away and felt his curly hair. In another second or two, who or whatever it was had vanished. The soldier immediately got up and went over to the door and turned the turned the lights back on. He found the door still locked just as he last saw it and the room was completely empty. The soldier in question was my brother who was assigned as a Spec 4 working in a joint military top secret project. That is the reason, he learned, that he got that four man barracks room all to himself. Others had a similar experience. My brother is a graduate from a university, works for the Federal Government, and would never make-up such a story like that. I am a U.S. Navy retiree and during active duty I was told strange stories they experienced by other personnel, some of whom worked in high positions. The barracks was constructed in World War I by the Germans and used during World War I and II as a German field hospital. The building had been since torn down. He showed me a photo of the barracks before it was demolished.
