Two Encounters in the 1970s: Steve Boucher, Alfie's Trough, and an Abducted Audience

Steve Boucher, from St. Catharines, recounts a striking 1970s experience with his band during an appearance at Alfie’s Trough behind Brock University. While loading gear on a wheeled dolly and walking toward the bar, they encountered several otherworldly beings in a hallway. The beings interrogated the band members about being paid, then escorted them to a back area and warned that they would forget what happened once they left a certain doorway. After this, they returned to perform to an empty bar—despite the venue normally being packed on a Saturday night—and the bartender expressed confusion about the turnout. Later, while fetching the dolly, Boucher walked through quiet hallways and found a large, silent audience lineup of about 150–200 people. A man tried to persuade him to join the lineup, and outside, in the snow, footprints led to a corner where a giant saucer-shaped craft sat behind the building. A being escorted him toward the ship, a nurse-like woman on the ship claiming they could not take him yet due to too many already, and discussions about where he needed to go. He returned to the bar with his bandmates, who were suspicious and dismissed his account as unlikely. He later remembered the second incident more clearly through hypnosis, linking it to the earlier experience, though many details remain uncertain. Boucher is writing a book and plans to include this incident, hoping that someone in the audience or among readers remembers that night. The account preserves uncertainty about specifics (years, identities, and the full sequence) while tying together two related encounters involving an audience abduction and a unexplained ship.
