Doris Squire

Doris Squire was the wife of the farmer Squire, and lived with her husband near Wenley Moor.

When her husband discovered a Silurian hiding in his barn, he told her to call the police. When the Silurian attacked him, she saw it and had a nervous breakdown. She was taken to the local hospital, where the Third Doctor questioned her and learned what had happened. (TV: Doctor Who and the Silurians)

Several weeks later, she was still being treated for shock "after claiming to see some sort of lizard walking upright like a man". According to James Stevens, this story did not even make it into the gutter press. (PROSE: Who Killed Kennedy)
