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.
