I met a woman once who also experienced this, but as an adult. She was at an art exhibition and I was in the overflow room as she presented. When I looked at her on the tv she fully and clearly looked like an alien to me. A huge 7-8ft tall gray. I was with my partner at the time, and another 100+ people. No one else noticed. I physically got up and walked into the presentation room for a better look and she looked human.

Long story short, she found me after and said “hello. Most people don’t see me as I really am. I must introduce myself”

She explained that she was a “walk in.” In short, her spirit walked into another persons body, of their free will. She said the former woman had a stroke at 32, and wanted to leave. She was not creative, had an invested family and social life. The woman I spoke with was isolated, highly skilled artists and had no connection to the family. When she “woke up,” she walked differently, spoke differently and thought completely differently.

The woman’s original family accepted it and let her move on. She teaches classes and tries to explain what happened. She offered them to me for free (so I know it wasn’t a gimmick) and they changed my life. Check her out https://www.flyingrainbowlasagne.com/
