We propose a mechanism for several unexpected particle production phenomena observed recently in high energy collisions and characterized by very low transverse momenta or intermittency-type fluctuations in longitudinal rapidity. It is based on a QCD parton shower model extended to very soft partons, leading to the formation of globs of very cold, nonthermal quark--gluon plasma. {copyright} 1989 Academic Press, Inc.
