There are a few things one would like to ask about the 'Watchers' for those who have called and gotten a response from one of the bunch, whether by 'prescribed' ways or merely some other forms, it matters little.
How do they normally seem like? Perhaps the texture and quality of their beings, the 'capacities' of what their presence might have? How does the communication go about? 'Lively' or quite 'dull'?
Furthermore, what can 'watcher' actually do to influence the supposed 'physical/material plane'?
In terms of how they can affect the physical, think of poltergeist activity. They can move things, create auditory phenomena such as knocking or banging on walls, etc. Communication seems subliminal... like a whisper. Mental. I've never "heard" it "speak" the way I have other entities, such as a quiet voice somewhere behind and slightly above my head (which is how most voices are "heard" for me) or sometimes given other ways of manifesting. Example... speakers, playing music. I've had a few conjured entities "speak" through the music coming out of the speakers.
Only when it was music somehow connected to them. Some spirits, like the dead, may prefer one kind of music or another and be willing or able to speak through that music if it's playing during conjuration. I've heard of others doing this with great success but have only been able to get it myself a few times, maybe two or three notable occasions.
As for the Watcher's appearance/texture and quality of their being as you phrased it... with only one notable exception, it has always appeared to me as a shadow, or like a "negative" of a person. It's easy for me to miss because I have a very difficult time focusing enough to get visible appearance outside of a skrying mirror. The one notable occurance was during my first conjuration of the Watcher, wherein it appeared to me as a much larger than average Boxer breed dog without its ears cropped or its tail docked. That's the only time it's ever appeared to me as almost "solid", "physically corporeal".
Ever since it's just been a shadow or a sensation in the room not unlike a steady, chilly breeze. Attached is a photograph of my dog, Rocky, who the Watcher must have modeled its first appearance after. I love and trust Boxers above all other dog breeds, having raised them since I was 10 years old (I'm almost 29), and I do believe this is why the Watcher chose to present itself to me in this form. Imagine this dog with a BAD attitude and it's pretty much how the Watcher looked the first time I called it (and for some reason hasn't appeared this way since).
