Neverland by Will Stanton

The document that I am reading is a transcript taken from a 2002 video tape of a home security camera placed in an exclusive mansion.

The transcript documents the sound and movements recorded on the video.
[Transcriber’s note: the room is very large and the ceiling is tall, but the camera covers the entire area.]

9:00 PM, no sound no movement.

9:10, a slight scraping noise is heard near one of the windows, followed by a “click.”

Outdoor sounds now can be heard.

Recording picks up soft fluttering and tinkling sounds.

What appear to be tiny golden sparks quickly stream from the window across the room, making a few circular movements, then landing on a high shelf.

A small figure appears in the shadows of the window.
The figure slowly floats into the room and gently lands upon the carpet.


The figure appears to be an adolescent boy, blond, slightly built, and oddly dressed in some material that looks like green leaves.
The boy’s face now can be seen clearly:

he seems to have an expression of excitement. He speaks:

“This is a part of Neverland I haven’t seen before. It’s all different and new to me. This should be a great adventure. Let’s explore!”

The figure moves about the room, picking up various objects, studying them, and then discarding them.

The golden sparks on the shelf suddenly move and fly around the room from shelf to shelf, finally settling upon a tall bureau.


The boy picks up two objects and again speaks,

“Look at those, Tink. I wonder what they are for.”

The figure moves to a desk and sees a large photo album.
He opens it and is studying it.

There is a pause.

The boy suddenly jumps back and then shoots straight up to the ceiling, plastering his back against the corner.

The boy seems to have a terrified look upon his face.
He shouts:

“Tink! I’m in terrible danger!
This isn’t Neverland. This is the Neverland Ranch!”

Both figures shoot out the window.

9:15, all is quiet; nothing to report.
