Who has had a genuine abduction experience?

Let me start off by saying that I am not sure whether or not i was taken. But the circumstances which lead to my believing it happened are as follows:

i have a fun day of family gathering with... DER!!!... my family. However, something isn't right. i can't seem to get into the mood for fun. You know when you think you're being stalked? Call it paranoia or what you will, but i had the feeling of being watched.

I get home. the feeling hasn't subsided and i'm a bit creeped out. i have some cookies and milk to help me feel better *chips ahoy! cookies, if you need clarification*

i try to go to bed at my aunt carolyn's house. can't sleep. watching some television show. i think it was mcgyver on TV Land. suddenly feel extremely tired. i'm out like a light. i have very surreal dream of an alien (typical gray alien stereotype. bug-like eyes, slits for nose. no ears. not much of a mouth. much like the creature on Whitley Strieber's book Communion) inserting a needle into my nose to my brain.

i wake up and not only have i got a nosebleed, i've also got a scab on my head that wasn't there before (i STILL get the nosebleeds and the scab comes back every year, then fades away during winter.)


what do you make of it?

Wow, how many does this make?

Im sorry, im not sending any flak towards you, its just that during the last few weeks, ATS has encounted so many of these "Abduction Experience" stories and its just hard to beleive whats what.

well, i don't know what's going on. i'm trying to understand my own experience. i just want to know why the hell i am being followed. ever notice something moving out of your peripheral vision and then there's nothing there when you look?

Hey, interesting experience. Your story sounds a little similar to mine. I kinda had the same thing happen to me. Well it happened when I was dreaming. It felt like I had suddenly woken up and I was paralysed. I was lying on my side, so I didn't get to see whatever it was clearly. All I saw, was what looked like the figure of a typical grey, and it scared the freakin daylights out of me!!

So then, I was like "Oh God, please help me" in my head. And - at least it seemed like it - whatever it was went away.

I know it probably was JUST a dream, but before I had this dream - I think it was a few days before - I was thinking about taking down an alien ship in my mind (just fantasising, I know sounds weird though). I know fantasising about taking down an alien ship using my mind, might make me sound a little crazy (ok, REALLY crazy), but I had recently read some stuff that made me really mad. So, I fantasised about taking one of their ships down.

This was when I was only just getting into aliens and stuff, so yeah. I thought your experience sounded a lot like mine, cos I don't know if I was taken or not. Probably not, but still.


I've also had a dream where aliens were watching me through a light that they would shine on me from their spaceship. In the dream I was trying to hide from the light, because I knew that if the light was on me, they could read my mind or something like that. When I woke up, I looked out the window (it was still dark) and I saw Venus. And it was a little creepy cos it looked a lot like the light in my dream. I know it was Venus, but it was still weird.


Btw, have you seen that movie with Julianne Moore "The Forgotten"? In that movie the main characters felt like they were being watched and followed, and they were, everywhere they went. Not to scare you, just thought you might find it interesting.

Here is a copy paste of what happend to me
eerie similar

When I was very young around two year’s old (living in Scotland), I went missing from my back yard. My Mother tells me that she was at the kitchen sink washing dishes and watching me. She left the room to fetch something only for a moment and when she came back I was gone.
I was found hours later about a mile away behind a shopping centre. All I remember is riding home with the police and them asking me if I knew where I lived? I did not. Also, I was riding a trike in the back yard, it never showed up again.
The thing is, the layout of that community is in such a way that there is only one way in and out with a crossing guard at the intersection. When I went missing, my Mother ran out and asked the crossing guard if she had seen me, but she had not

The next big incident happened in 1997, (now living in Canada) I was driving back with my friend, from North Dakota. He was attending school there. It was late at night in the summer and the road was dark (there were no street lights). All of a sudden it felt like a blanket was being pulled over my head. I looked up and there was a giant, black triangle (HUGE triangle) over the car moving very slowly. It didn’t make any sound which struck me as so odd. My friend was sleeping at the time. I was yelling at him look, but he didn’t wake up in time to see it speed off behind a hill range

Over the years, I told so many people about that incident. Well anyway, last year I went to the auction and bought another car that was cheap on gas (same kind of car I was in when I seen the triangle). So, I am driving it home and I start remembering that night back in 1997. All of a sudden it dawns on me that things didn’t fit right about that night. I do not remember stopping the car or rolling the window down, that really bothered me.
Moving ahead, I am not sure how long after, maybe six months: me and my wife are lying in bed almost asleep, eyes closed when there is this bright blue flash (really bright). I am about to say to my wife what was that? (not sure if she is awake or asleep) when she says "what was that". I would have put it down to thunder or an electrical surge, but again there was no noise and our blinds are black out blinds (they don’t let light in).
About four months ago I am lying in bed sleeping. When all of a sudden, I feel I have to sneeze, but I can’t. I can’t move at all. A voice in my head tells me not to move (it seems female for some reason, I don’t know why). In my head, I say “I have to sneeze” but it replies, “you have to wait until the bone comes out” . I get a mental image of a wishbone coming out of my nose. It doesn’t feel like a bone I suggest ... no response. It feels hard and smooth like glass or tensile steel. Its in deep, its still coming out, still have to sneeze so bad, again it says “not yet”. I can feel the pressure on the inside of my nose like its spring loaded, just as it comes out I hear a "Ting" like two glasses clinking together. I can sneeze now. I sit up I am on the edge of the bed and I sneeze. All this gunk comes out, (not to be gross but snot all over my chest). I have to get up and clean myself off.
That’s it so far. I figure I am either crazy or I’m not

very interesting cases, i must say. and yes i've seen The Forgotten. i like that movie very much. Sometimes i can't stand thinking about aliens and other times i find myself utterly obsessed. i don't know if they're making me obsessed or uninterested. they might want me obsessed because they want me to know about them. or maybe they want me uninterested because they want me to be off my guard. but they won't catch me off my guard. ever.

Dude, I want to say that I have 30 years worth of people's stories like these, scores of them, happening to people who never ever thought of aliens or ufos. Only 3 or 4 of these wanted others to know of their experiences.

These things happen far far far more often than you dare to imagine - it is just people don't want to talk about it publicly in 98% of the cases! The average person is never ever ever going to realise just how many people have these experiences - simply because they are never ever exposed to the people who have these things happen.

The fact that ATS is becoming a little bit known as a forum for sharing weird experiences is a good thing I reckon.

That's generally an "eye floaty"... or a bit of residue/tissue floating across the viscose film that protects your eye from drying out. There's nothing ET in that particular instance.

The reason it disappears is because you have moved your eye and thus the "floaty". Sometimes it will then stick to the inner of your eyelid or another piece of tissue and disappear.

In regards to genuine abduction experiences. How does one divine them as be genuine... or not? It's really just a question of perception and speculation without evidence which means, some people (not all) will perceive a bad dream or even sleep paralysis as being an abduction experience.

Of all the reported abduction experiences, I believe majority of them are simply mundane things that have been misperceived, though there is a small nucleus at the very heart of it that are the genuine phenomena.

Edit to Add:

Being obsessed (as you put it) does not make for a strong case and looking too deeply into an obsession cannot bring you any clarity. It's too easy for your perception to be fooled or tainted by your obsession!

thank you. that's just the kind of reasoning i wanted. too many people dismiss these cases as bogus or attention scams or insanity. but i'd like to recommend the book, "communion" by Whitley Strieber. it's a very detailed log of most of his encounters that were recovered by regressive hypnosis sessions. really interesting material.

while you raise interesting points, the reason for my belief in the authenticity is the fact that after the alleged encounter (i didn't peg it to aliens. i had no idea what aliens were at that age. my mom was a strict believer in watching only christian material and she never allowed such "filth" into my head) i had chronic bloody noses and still do to this day. in fact, i can almost TIME when it's going to happen. what could cause this? allergies hold no argument because i only have asthma. no sign of any form of epilepsy (i have an uncle with it but that was self induced. he dove into the shallow end of the pool and hit his head.) and my memory was vivid. i don't remember the journey to and from wherever they took me (unless they did it right there. i don't really recall. i was too frightened out of my head to look around me.) but i might later decide to invest in regressive hypnosis myself and put an end to this convoluted mystery. or maybe it will open a doorway to a place where nobody wants to be: the peak of realization of our greatest fear that is lack of control.

I have been abducted on a number of occasions both in the U.S. and abroad where I now live. The only thing that I objected to was their fascination with my privates.

I don't think that they intend any harm.

sir, are you sure you remember the entire ordeals?

and as to the fascination about your genitals, that's a common abductee characteristic. the aliens sometimes do sexual things to you (sometimes even to the point of sexual intercourse, which may or may not be linked to either A) a need to reproduce or B) an agenda to produce a hybridized offspring between a human parent and an alien parent.
