That night, after the two children had gone to sleep, Travis was awakened by a strange buzzing sensation. Travis went to Christina's room. She was not in her bed. Through Christina's window came a violent light that filled the room and penetrated his body. Travis woke up underneath Christina's bed, his pajamas on backwards. Christina was sleeping peacefully. The details of the night before began to fade, but he remained aware that Christina had been taken somewhere, and then returned. After this incident , his psychic encounters with Mary Frances ceased.
