i know fear. everyone knows fear. but to expect everyone to think your special or that your case of night terrors is an abduction well then your wrong.
night terrors is a sleeping disorder that alot of small children have, although it has been reported in older people.
basically your body wakes up but your mind isn't. so you are aware of your body but your mind is still in dream world causing you to hallucinate.
it shares many symptoms with sleep paralysis.
you had a nightmare, not visitors. prove me wrong.

as a child i did have night terrors. they are so vivid i remember them over a decade later.
i know how real it feels. one of my night terrors had me believing that a dog or wolf was attempting to eat my face and i couldn't move myself to do anything about it.
if i saw something else such as a alien figure i would have easily believed it was visitors.
the difference is i did research and instead of writing it off as paranormal, i made an attempt to educate myself about this phenomenon and realize its psychological not paranormal in nature.
and sir you have yet to see me act not calm.

Just because it isn't fact yet by your standards doesn't mean it isn't fact. Humans are far from knowing everything that occurs on this world and off it.
