I recently received a letter
that apart from being very interesting is also
disturbing because of the questions that it raises. This
is a strange story the likes of which I have never heard
before and I have had more than my share of the wild,
weird and woolly. But back to the letter, here we go:
"What I'm about to tell you is very difficult for me to
talk about. Every time I think about it I feel like
throwing up. This happened in _____ (BC) when I was
about 18 or 19 years old. One morning I woke up with a
terrible pressure in my lower abdomen. My periods were
late in coming, (which was not unusual for me at times)
so I assumed that maybe I was about to start my monthly
cycle. So I got up and went to the washroom but saw no
blood. However while I was going to the washroom I heard
a couple of "plops" and felt something weird around my
vagina area. When I got up and turned around I got the
shock of my life. In the toilet were four grayish
"things". They looked like a cross between a fetus and a
seahorse. (Please bear with me as I know this must sound
absolutely insane). They were about l½ cm. long and a
bit larger than ½ cm. wide. The worst part of this
incident was that these things were ALIVE. I say this,
because these things were moving through the water like
a seahorse does to propel itself through the water as it
swims. The "tail" would curl up and then down as it
maneuvered around. Here is a picture of them. I'm sorry
I'm not much of an artist, so I'm afraid this is the
best that I can do."
"They
were almost the colour of a raw shrimp or prawn,
jelly-like gray things with no eyes that I could notice.
Just kind of a bump where the eyes should have been. No
ears. No fins as fish might have, etc. They were
disgusting. I was so terrified that these things had
come out of my body, that I flushed them down as soon as
I could. I think I was in shock for several days from
this. It was really traumatic for me, and there was no
one that I could talk to about what had happened. To
this day I have not shared this with many people, maybe
three in all. If you have ever heard of anyone with the
same type of experience, or you know of any scientist
that might shed some light on these things I would
really appreciate it. Do you know that ever since that
experience, I can't help but check the toilet every time
I go now. I am terrified that something like that will
happen again. Well that's the story in a nutshell. I
still have nightmares about those things sometimes."
This letter arrived in February 2001. I thought about it
a lot. Many questions came to mind that needed answers.
Clearly some of those answers weren't going to be
forthcoming. In March I was sorting through a box of
papers that I had kept since I was teaching in high
school. Lo and behold, what did I find but a diagram
from some past biology class. My first reaction was
"WOW"! Methinks I have seen this stuff elsewhere and all
too recently.
VARIOUS
STAGES IN THE EMBRYONIC DEVELOPMENT OF FOUR VERTEBRATES
George
John Romanes "Darwin and after Darwin"
The Open Court Publishing Company. La Salle, Illinois.
I
spoke to a R.N. about her knowledge of obstetrics. She
read the letter and told me that if indeed this lady had
miscarried, the fetus would be pink in colour. In her
opinion the "baby" would be in its eighth week and she
felt certainly not capable of any movement that
resembled active "swimming" motions. She also added what
many women are fully aware of and that is any
miscarriage will be accompanied by the loss of a large
amount of blood and a D&C would be also required to
remove the afterbirth material. This "lesson" in
impromptu delivery came with the additional information
that the arrival of the baby would be proceeded by
severe cramping in the lower regions.
Armed with this knowledge I sent a copy of the fetus
diagrams to the lady who wrote the letter. A short time
later I received a phone call. She told me that on
opening my letter and seeing its contents her immediate
reaction was an overpowering wave of nausea that swept
up from her abdomen to her throat. Her next reaction was
a replica of my own, "WOW"! I then proceeded to ask some
further questions. Yes, she was married at that time, no
she didn't tell her husband, no she didn't go to see her
doctor nor did she go to the hospital. Yes, if it should
happen again (heaven forbid) she would exercise a
greater degree of common sense and less of panic. Making
a point to retrieve the "creatures" for lab analysis and
hopefully identification.
So in conclusion I might ask on behalf of the "surrogate
mother", does anyone know of, or has heard of, a similar
case anywhere? Should you wish to make any further
contact I can be reached at UFO British Columbia by
e-mail:
(N.E.) I have known this lady a good ten years or more.
This incident is only one of many strange occurrences
that have taken place since early childhood. It will
come as no further surprise when I state that both her
son and daughter can relate their own share of
unexplainable incidents. Like many "experiencers" this
lady seems to have come to terms with what has happened
in her past. Consequently she has developed a sense of
compassion for people like herself, caught in a mesh of
something that seems beyond our ability to fully
comprehend. They can only reach out a helping hand to
others in similar circumstances and say again; "You are
not alone".
