Abstract
This paper presents an analysis ofa two-part device which occurs spontane- ously in spoken recollections ofone class of extraordinary personal experiences. This device is identified äs was just doing X ... when Y'. It is argued that there is a culturally-based scepticism about Claims to have experienced the paranormal. This paper reports on the ways in which the first pari of Ms device is used by Speakers to counter potentially negative inferences which may be drawn about someone simply by virtue of their claim to have encountered paranormal phenomena. The analysis focuses on the ways in which Speakers assemble descriptions of what they were doing at the time of the onset of their experience, and some interactional tasks addressed through the way in which these recollections are formulated. Finally, some inferential consequences of the two partedness of the device are noted.
