Initial data
Bob W. was taking out his trash and putting two black plastic bags in a bin behind his home in South London.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw something moving behind a pile of discarded plant pots and sneaking into his shed. Thinking it was a rat, he called out to his cross border collie, but it refused to enter the shed, whining and growling uncharacteristically. When Bob went to investigate, the dog barked sharply, as if in warning.
He went into the barn, and the dog followed, tail between his legs, still whining. Nothing moved in the dark coolness of the barn. With a shrug, he turned to close the door when something moved again.
Turning around, he saw the vague outline of what looked like "a small child with a big head, no clothes." He blinked, and the "child" held out a "long, bony hand, with four fingers and no thumb," as if to announce his alien ability.
The dog began to howl, and Bob broke out of the state of semi-trance into which he seemed to have fallen.
Very frightened, he tried to slam the barn door so that the creature could not get out, but there was a "puff of smoke or steam" and "an unpleasant smell of old eggs", and the creature simply disappeared into thin air.
The owner and the dog who ran into the house became very ill, and the next day they both threw up. The dog no longer went to the barn.
Original news

Time: evening
Bob W was taking out his garbage and was placing the two black plastic bags in the bin at the back of his south London home. Out of the corner of his eye he noticed something move behind a pile of discarded plant pots, sneaking into his shed. Thinking it must be a rat, he called to his Border collie cross, but she refused to enter the shed, uncharacteristically whining and growling. When Bob went to investigate himself the dog barked sharply, as if in warning. He entered the shed, the dog following, tail between her legs and still whining. Nothing moved inside the dark coolness of the shed. Shrugging, he turned to shut the door when something moved again. Turning, he saw the vague outline of what appeared to be “a small child with a big head, with no clothes on.” He blinked, and the “child” held up one “long bony hand, with four fingers and no thumb” as if to announce its alien credentials. The dog started to howl and Bob snapped out of the semi trance like state into which he appeared to have fallen. Very scared, he tried to slam the shed door to prevent the creature from getting out, but there was a “puff of smoke or vapor” and a “bad smell of old eggs” and the creature simply disappeared into thin air. Rushing into the house both master and dog were violently sick and the next day both them were still suffering from nausea. The dog never went to the shed again.
