To whom it may concern,
I really don't know how to start this other than to just get to the
point, so I will! As a young child, I was put into a camp on Gambier
Island for the summers; however can't recall the years for some reason.
I was speaking with someone many years after the event took place which
I will get into later in my story. During my conversation, this person
talked about his experiences as growing up and quintessentially, his
childhood took place mainly on Gambier Island. For whatever reason, he
started to talk about an event that took place many times. He states
that he witnessed his mother being abducted in his "dreams", however
states that this isn't a dream or real and can't be explained in words.
As the story continues, he starts explaining an event that takes place
many years after and he recalls, him and a couple of friends camping
and being witness to an event that takes place many miles away, with
out going into too many details, he speaks of a story which becomes all
to real for me! As he is telling this story it bring ups a swarm of
feelings and emotions that I have not felt for quite sometime and,
unfortunately, allows me to recall an event that I believe I completely
closed off for many years. His story is so much like mine, I still
can't help feeling confused about the event and in some way try to
ignore it like it wasn't factual. To tell you the truth, I still can't
say with 100% surety that this event took place, but I can say that
still to this day, I have feelings that put me into high anxiety, fear
and confusion when I try to recall the events.
Please forgive me as I am not the best writer...
I and many of my friends are celebrating some of our last days at Camp
Fircom, many of us are sitting on the dock and I can vividly remember a
number of kids sitting around a campfire onshore not more than 200-250
feet from which I was sitting. Someone pointed to a light that was
doing acrobatics in the sky and almost seemed to dance, making huge
upward journeys, flashing and falling behind the mountains (I believe
on Bowen Island). Many of us watched with amazement and I can remember
thinking that this isn't right for some reason, that this wasn't
anything that I have ever seen or could understand. I don't remember
how long or how many people were on the dock with me, but I can only
guess that there was approximately 10-15 of us. All of sudden, this
object was over top of us and it wasn't your typical round flying
saucer but it was huge and almost transparent with the typical lights
however it didn't make one bit of sound, in fact this is where I start
to doubt myself because there aren't ways to describe this object only
that like being in a single frame from a movie. I remember being frozen
and being aware of this moment, no sound, not even from the others, no
movement everyone just staring at this massive object moving over top
of us! I don't remember feeling fear or excitement however I remember
as this object slowly went over us, once it went over the treeline and
was gone, I have a hard time articulately what happened next. It was
like a thousand voices screaming in the inner part of your head,
complete panic, people screaming and I can remember running to my cabin
crying, only to find the others in the same shape. What was more
interesting was, nobody spoke about this the next day and that includes
myself however I can still remember how weird this felt, almost like if
you spoke about it, it was going to happen again. I have never publicly
spoken about this and feel a weird sense of shame/fear but I am
wondering if you have ever heard anything about this or if this story
makes any sense....
My guess is that I went to this camp in the summer months sometime
between 1983 to 1985 http://www.campfircom.bc.ca/ and wondering in your
research if there are any similar stories.
