As the alleged
abduction account is my main focus of research, it may
well be a good place to start.
We are aware that
various "selected" people are removed from their beds at
home, also cars, canoes, and in Holland, even bicycles!(1)
But why don't we ever get reports of abductions from
hospital residents, prison inmates, boarding schools and
orphanages. What about passengers on board cruise ships,
naval vessels, freighters and lengthy air line flights?
A noteworthy "blip" in
the above described format is a personal visitation
account that took place in a hotel in Florida, during
Dec. 1989. Not only did the hotel guest see an "embryo"
that was all energy and light, rather like an elongated
light bulb, but the visitor announced it had arrived "to
tell you something". The astonished hotel guest
responded telepathically, saying, "I am not ready to
hear it", and with that turned over and went to sleep!(2)
Another odd story that
came my way many years ago was from a person who
attended boarding school and found himself in a location
the following morning other than the bed he had entered
the night before. Also an officer in the U. S. navy told
me that during the Persian Gulf war they "lost" about
four personnel a month to apparent suicide, (i.e.)
jumping over-board during the night? Presumably heat and
stress being the motivator. The reality being they
couldn’t be located anywhere on the vessel.
Many readers will no
doubt recall the classic case of the Mary Celeste
discovered in sea worthy condition and crewless on Nov.
7th 1872, 950 kilometres west of Gibraltar!(3)
Theories abound, solutions are in short supply. However
this is anything but an isolated case.
OK, missing is bad
enough, but what about invisible…. how does that grab
you? Take the lady I know who lives on Vancouver Island,
an "experiencer" going way back. Had a group photograph
taken one day during a get together, she and hubby
weren’t in it! … honest! Will it come as a greater
surprise if I add that they also know a married couple
who participated in a logging protest which was filmed
by a T.V. crew on the scene. When the two protestors
watched the news cast that night they were astonished to
see they weren’t in the crowd that had been filmed. Yes,
this couple have also had their share of the strange and
unusual.
If the casual anecdote
is not concrete enough, then I offer the published
account reported by Budd Hopkins on an Australian case
which he investigated whilst on a lecture tour in that
country. A Mrs. Washburn produced four photographs which
should have included the whole family but did not. The
couple had been at a Brisbane, Queensland playground.
Budd Hopkins regressed the two adults and Mr. Washburn
spoke of seeing a "ball" take his family away. In
Hopkins view, all four members became invisible to
everyone present at the site. The UFO and its
accompanying "balls" also could not be seen by others.(4)
It is all too apparent
that "experiencers" can be found everywhere, in the past
fifteen years I have spoken to more that two hundred
abductees. In some cases at great length and still
maintain regular communication with a small number, ten
and twenty years after our first meeting. Mentally
scanning all these people, predominantly women, I can't
help but notice that none are in any way handicapped.
None are in wheel chairs, have false limbs or blind.
Suppose you are deaf,
need a hearing aid, contact lenses or eye glasses for
daily operational routine. Don't these things matter
when an abduction scenario commences? "Yeah, yeah I
know", deaf people don't have that kind of problem
because we are told that telepathy is the standard
communication technique.
Incidentally I have
yet to meet the hero who calls out, "hold on a minute
you turkeys, I need my glasses" Most certainly curiosity
was displayed by the "visitors" when they discovered
Barney Hill's false teeth during his on-board
examination.(5)
Maybe in passing it
might be worth raising that other small flag, people who
are colour blind. Does that also fall into the "not
needed on board" list? We receive descriptions of
computer type panels with all sorts of flashing lights.
Did a colour deprived abductee discover he/she achieved
an instant and temporary miracle? I'm still waiting to
find out.
Speaking purely for
myself, I long since learnt that when it gets really
cold I head for the bathroom more than usual. Now I have
read and heard many stories from anxious participants
who relate accounts of finding themselves naked,
immobile, on a cold table in a less than warm room,
whilst being subjected to a variety of unpleasant and
painful ( in some cases) examinations. Any and all of
the above is sufficient to send the participant heading
off in search of a toilet. Yet, they never seem to
express that urgent need. "OK., I agree with you", that
body function is mentally telegraphed by the head honcho
to the most recent "specimens" low priority list. Fair
enough, but when the story continues at the point of
returning to "normal" in bed at home, nobody ever
mentions an urgent need to head for the John. How come?
As many participants have already provided me with a
multitude of personally embarrassing details I fail to
understand why that very minor one would be excluded.
Nevertheless, the
eventuality it would seem has not been completely
ignored. for example, one youthful abductee recalls not
only being provided with various instructions for his
future, but also given a brief tour of the craft which
included of all things being shown how to work the
bathroom! The guide explained that there was no gravity
in space, and how this worked for that purpose. The
youngster recalled, "the bathroom reminded me of a cross
between a shower unit and a refrigerator", adding, "I
know this sounds completely crazy!"(6)
So regardless of
apparent scarcity of reports from those with the urge to
go, it would seem that sufficient is the need, so the
facility is built in for those who are caught short, be
it abductees or crew members.
Staying on track with
body functions for a moment. More than anything I recall
in the past, is the recounting of the extreme fear
element experienced by abductees. Generally it centres
on having "chief, big head", placing his face almost
nose to nose and looking into the eyes of the
unfortunate, immobile, captive and commanding
co-operation for whatever purpose, or retrieving life
memories from the brains storehouse. Each and everyone
has stated that their heart was beating so loudly and
violently with fear, that they fully expected to have a
heart attack, yet the thing that doesn’t seem to
have been reported as happening in any of these numerous
accounts is that the terrorised subject loses control of
his or her bowels. Strictly a reflex action brought on
by extreme fear.
Literature is replete
with personal comments about various people who either
in battle situations or encountering grizzlies, snakes,
etc. have reacted spontaneously in this personally
embarrassing manner.
I recently watched; a
lady relate to a viewing audience that she lost control
of her bladder when she discovered her child missing
from its bed! (7)
So why don't we hear
of this happening on board the craft, are they able to
predict and regulate this natural body re-action too?
Equally clearly this
abduction routine must get rather hectic at times for
the kidnappers. We are aware of "experiencers" awakening
to find night clothes are apparently back to front or
inside out or piled neatly on top of the bed. All are
convinced they didn’t go to bed like that.
An amusing, (but only
in the telling) story describes the lady who went to bed
attired in baby doll pyjamas only to awake wearing a
male T shirt with a slogan inscribed, announcing a
marathon event at some distant and unknown location.
Ponder on that story if you will. One even less
fortunate male found himself dumped alongside a road,
without any clothes, two hours after he claimed to
having been abducted. This event took place in March of
1978. (8)
Which brings me to
sleep walking, for long enough I have harboured a
nagging feeling that these accounts contain more depth
than is either generally realised or suspected. Has
anyone I wonder ever attempted to discover if these
afflicted night travellers have ever recounted UFO type
"dreams", or reported lights or craft in the nearby sky,
at other times.
The published
literature contains accounts of abductees finding grass,
soil and leaves on the bed sheets next day. One story I
read even described dried muddy footprints of the
unfortunate victim leading across the floor from her
front door to the bed.(9) This took place in
1967 in Britain.
In April of this year
(1998) I spoke to a Surrey, British Columbia, resident
who, in the course of a lengthy conversation, described
a variety of personal events that included orange size
balls of light within his home that appeared to be
intelligently controlled. But of far greater interest to
me was his story of finding himself in his basement
workshop, early one morning, yet he had not tripped the
motion sensor within the house! This gentleman presumes
he had been sleep walking. His wife woke him up by
calling his name because she could see a light in the
downstairs room although he claimed not to have turned
it on.
Another recorded story
concerns the young man who during the fifties
experienced a series of disturbing events, the nature of
which we are today all too familiar with. His account
also includes episodes of actually leaving the house and
going into the yard, adding that even to this day he
remembers "how the night felt so vast". "On most
occasions, I would be awakened by my mother, once she
stopped me from walking down the neighbourhood street.
But I do not recall leaving my bed".(10)
Then we have the case
of Jason Andrews (14) of Hawksworth Farm, in rural Kent,
England, who also suffers from bad dreams and sleep
walking. Both he and his brother Daniel told their
mother (Ann) they had seen things in the night.(11)
Over the years I have
met and also read about small children who exhibit what
would seem to be unreasonable and irrational fear of
anyone wearing a white coat (i.e. a doctor or dentist).
Two cases come to mind where several young adults were
required to hold the screaming, fear crazed child in
place, whilst simple routine events were carried out. 0f
those stories I am familiar with, one took place in a
hospital, - the other at a dentist’s office.
Interestingly enough, the mother of the child who
created such turmoil at the hospital, told me that she
had a "dream" in which she was lying on a table with her
head hanging over the end as someone was drilling into
the top of her mouth. In fact she could feel bits of
tissue and bone falling into her throat area making her
gag. On coming to from this nightmare she hurried into
the bathroom experiencing a sore and dried mouth. A
careful mirror examination however could show no signs
of blood or interior damage.
For the past fifty
years I have read and heard numerous accounts from
abductees who in the course of events, frequently
ongoing, or sometimes just a "one shot deal", have come
away with a deep seated feeling that he/she has been
given a mission they have to accomplish. In a few such
instances that person can describe with conviction that
their assigned job is to "look after the children", or
"awaken the world to its potential destruction". What I
find puzzling here is that some of these assigned
participants are beginning to die off. So when is, or
was, that special moment they were chosen for. Perhaps
their next lifetime? Or merely another example of the
convoluted deception that the "visitors" engage in so
frequently.
Should you the reader
have had the opportunity to travel to Europe, or failing
that, ever been interested in architecture, you will no
doubt have noticed the grotesque figures that adorn many
ancient buildings. Are these figures merely figments of
someone’s imagination, bearing in mind that they crop up
in widely dispersed areas and communication as we know
it today simply didn’t exist in those days. We are,
after all, referring to stone masons. Master carvers,
but very likely totally illiterate. So where did the
uniformity of imagery originate? Was it from an
experience they underwent and the "people" they
encountered?
My reason for raising
this issue is due to having met two people who involved
it would seem, albeit reluctantly, in visitor
interaction describe the inevitable "dream" which
instead of containing the little grey guys, portrays a
different player, far more scary, if indeed that is
possible. Someone who conveys a greater sense of
malevolency and also very convincing in its actions of
evil intent. The medieval gargoyle, no less.
Do other strange
things remain to discuss? Yes, how about the
"experiencer" who has webbed feet! Or the person who
admits to being afraid of water but paradoxically
informs me that when in a swimming pool she can swim
extraordinary distances underwater. So much so that
companions are congregating at the pool's edge greatly
concerned they are about to witness a drowning. This
"mermaid" nonchalantly adds that she has a strong inner
feeling that at one time she (we?) could breathe
underwater.
Are these isolated
cases? I really don't know, I suspect not. Another
person told me that when it gets cold her own built in
thermometer goes into overdrive and her body becomes
hot. Piling clothes on is not the explanation in this
case. Something else that I have been struck by is the
"relationship contamination effect". What am I babbling
about here, you ask? Well, a number of times I have come
across women who in the course of normal events meet up
with an appealing male and eventually move into a
semi-permanent living together life style. However what
is vastly different in this case is that invariably the
woman is an on going "experiencer", very likely has been
all her life. The male claims to have had no such
interaction, and is scornfully sceptical of such ideas
but within a very short time of sharing the same space,
he begins to report vivid "dreams" that have either a
UFO content and/or greys included. In addition the male
companion discovers strange body "injuries" that he is
not able to account for.
Being of a suspicious
mind I must ask was it "coincidence" that the two came
together? 0r was it an arranged meeting for someone
else’s ulterior motives? It should also be noted that I
find these relationships are not of a durable nature. So
again I wonder if when they each go their separate ways
does the "contamination remain" attached to the newly
infected recipient and was it intended that way?
Adding to this litany
of "that’s incredible", I must mention the two hours or
more I spent listening to a lady describe her own travel
trip to Venus. This Langley resident was really amongst
the privileged. Not only did she inform "them" she
wasn’t going without her dog, but they agreed to take it
along. 0n the way she was offered filter tip cigarettes
and coffee in a styrofoam cup! Both of which she
accepted. I would have been tempted to let all this go
in one ear and out the other, except she included in her
account the details of an on board accident, the likes
of which I have never previously come across. As it had
a ring of truth I gave her remaining tale the benefit of
doubt. Particularly as prior to her return home a crew
member said to her, "everything is an illusion". (12)
In conclusion I should
touch upon another fascinating speculation. In reading
various publications I came across two cases where small
boys who, from details provided, had a typical history
of visitations. But what struck me as rather interesting
was that in each case both youngsters came within a
fatal accident scenario, yet were miraculously saved!
How and by whom? I will leave it to the reader to
decide. In a similar vein I should include Alan Godfrey,
the Yorkshire policeman who claims to have been abducted
whilst on official duty. He too relates that in his
youth he eluded a speeding car by leaping into the air,
as he played with friends on the street. (13)
Permit me to climb out
to the very end of the limb and ask the much larger
question. Are the "chosen ones" provided with twenty
four hour security protection? If someone somewhere has
them listed for a future task in the long term plan,
then watching them get "rubbed out" by some hair brained
driver would be more than irritating, it may be
extremely inconvenient. So may I propose that we apply
for a government grant to conduct a study on the
mortality ratio of "experiencers". In conjunction with
that we might well discover that they live to a ripe old
age. For all those interested, please form a line to the
right of the main door. Meanwhile, don't go away, I'm
sure there are more thought provoking mysteries to be
unearthed from this veiled realm.
