Initial data
Sixteen-year-old schoolgirl "Adele" was at home alone when she answered a knock at the front door and found a strange man standing on her doorstep, in a tiny hat with a pie of pork and "insanely beaming smile".
The visitor, who was "extremely magnificent" complexion, was elegantly dressed in a black suit and a white shirt, although his trousers and the sleeves of the jacket were too short.
"After he's madly grinning, seemed like an eternity... all of the man's body jerked," said Adele investigator Lynn Pickett. "Then he said, "you Have insurance? Now?" His voice was most odd. Like a robot - jerk and unconscious. The amazed girl asked the "seller" to come when her parents would be home.
Profusely sweating, he took off his hat and wiped his brow. A thick layer of carelessly applied stage makeup is left on the back of the hand. He was completely bald, and beneath the smeared makeup his skin looked unnaturally white and "dead".
"Can I have a glass? Water?" he asked, still smiling.
Fearing that he might faint on the doorstep, Adele, invited the stranger in and sat him in the living room. He walked with a special jerky, like a puppet. It hardly helped that he had removed his shoes. The girl brought him a glass of water from the kitchen and returned to find him standing by the fireplace, staring at the clock on the mantelpiece.
"He made me so nervous that I started to talk," she recalls.
"I told him that the watch was a gift from my father to retire, which seemed to him a huge revelation. He stared at me, still smiling, and said, "your father's Watch? It is here and now?" Then he took a glass of water and just looked at him. I realized that he initially asked if he could "see the glass" and that's what he was doing.
Having carefully studied him, he brought him back, not even making even a small SIP."
The seller seemed to have been mesmerized for hours. He stood, tapping him several times, saying, "Your father. Your father. His time. His time".
Finally he turned around, snapped, "Watch the lights!" and, affectionately patting on the clock, went without a single word. Adele had to rush past him to open the door, as if he was going to go right into it.
When he left, she ran to the window to see whom he will visit for longer, but he seemed to vanished into thin air.
Shortly thereafter, the group of tiny lights appeared and danced around the living room. The watch, which so delighted the extraordinary seller, stopped working after his visit.
Years later they went back during one of the TV appearances of URI Geller, and since then the watch work perfectly.

Summary: Sixteen year old schoolgirl, “Adele” was home alone when she answered a knock at the front door and found a strange man standing on her doorstep wearing a tiny pork pie hat and “an insanely beaming smile”. The visitor, who had an “extremely florid” complexion, was smartly dressed in a black suit and white shirt, although his trousers and jacket sleeves were both far too short. “After grinning madly at me for what seemed like ages…the man’s whole body jerked,” Adele told investigator Lynn Pickett. “Then he said ‘Have you got insurance? Is it now?’ His voice was most odd. Like a robot’s—jerky and without feeling. The startled girl asked the “salesman” to call back when her parents were at home. Sweating profusely, he took off his hat and wiped his forehead. A thick layer of carelessly applied stage makeup came off on the back of his hand. He was completely bald, and beneath the smeared makeup his skin looked unnaturally white and “dead”. “Can I see a glass? Of water?” he asked, still grinning fixedly. Afraid that he might faint on the doorstep, Adele invited the stranger in and sat him down in the lounge. He walked with peculiar jerky steps like a puppet; hardly helped by the fact that he had his shoes on the wrong feet. The girl fetched him a glass of water from the kitchen and returned to find him standing by the fireside staring fixedly at a carriage clock on the mantelpiece.
“He made me so nervous I started to blather,” she recalled. “I told him that the clock was my father’s retirement present, which seemed to be some huge revelation to him. He stared at me—still smiling—and said: “It is your father’s time? Is it here and now?” “Then he took the glass of water and just looked at it. I realized that he’d asked if he could see a glass, and that’s what he was doing. After scrutinizing it in a short of polite way, he handed it back, having not taken even the smallest sip.” The salesman seemed mesmerized by the carriage clock. He stood tapping it repeatedly, musing “Your father. Your father. His time. His time”. Finally, he spun around, snapped “Watch the lights!” and, giving the clock an affectionate pat, hobbled out without another word. Adele had to rush past him to open the front door, as it looked as though he was about to walk straight into it. Once he had left, she ran to the window to see who he visited next, but he appeared to have vanished into thin air. Not long afterwards, a cluster of tiny lights appeared and danced around the living room. The clock that had so delighted the extraordinary salesman stopped working following his visit. Years later it started up again during one of Uri Geller’s television appearances and has run perfectly ever since.
