I'm curious about some of your views on the phenomenon. Considering cases like Hills and Mrs. Cahill, do you think it to be a completely objective phenomenon?edit on 11-3-2011 by WingedBull because: (no reason given)
Correct, but it makes it slightly more suspicious for me.
That doesn't make it untrue (or true).
That is a very good point. I would like to see how the other people draw the aliens, if they actually saw them (which I some how doubt).
Yet are reported being seen in the homes of their victims, wearing no noticeable equipment to help them breath.
She describes being thrown back by a force, not necessarily being physically hit by the alien. And I wouldn't trust her dreams of the event, in fact I don't really trust her at all, I think she did see a UFO or something weird, but she has made up a large portion of her story to make it sound better.
She describes being "hit" and thrown to the ground so hard it knocks the wind out of her. In her later dreams of the incident, she says she tackled one of the beings.
If I understand what you're asking, abduction events can of course be remembered through things such as flashbacks and dreams without the help of a hypnotherapist. These conscious memories can some times flood in after the first few flashbacks, like a domino effect, because the memories are are linked, our memory is a relational database, and all similar memories are connected in some way. I personally feel these types of memories are less reliable and usually harder to make sense of than memories retrieved via hypnotic regression, but it all really depends on the person and how their mind was manipulated. If I'm not answering your question properly let me know.
Now, with lose of memories can one regress those lost memories over time or even a long time like decades, and/or that being after an event? Can a domino effect happen with your memories coming back?
Or is it only threw a hypnotherapist?

I think the amazing power of the human mind is behind the entire thing. The raw power of imagination, fantasy and delusion creates these "abductions" in my opinion.

No, they are researchers, she just goes around telling her story from what I can see. It isn't even a particularly detailed or revealing experience, the only the thing that makes it interesting is that other people saw the same UFO. I will say there was probably a UFO, but beyond that everything relies upon her words alone, and there are some questionable inconsistencies as you have pointed out.
Does that then make researchers such as John Mack or Budd Hopkins suspicious?
Perhaps it was, or maybe it was simply a method of making her unconscious, and felt violent to her.
Either way, it was a violent act.
Because she clearly has grown an obsession from her events, though she can't really remember what happened to her, she was quickly made unconscious. She's just trying to fill in the gaps and have a bit more of a story to tell imo. By trying so hard to recall these things she's mixing fantasy into her memories. Maybe she did see aliens, they were some what like a Grey with a big head and large eyes. The red glow is probably her mind contaminating the memory with what she expected to see, evil little demons will glowing red eyes. I doubt she even got a good look at them in a conscious state. And if she did see aliens, and their eyes were a fluorescent red, I'm guessing the glow make them appear round, like a round source of light. As for why their eyes would be glowing red, who knows, it's not too hard to fathom considering we are dealing with a species we hardly understand.
Why do you think that?
I can't sell licensing for anything, all of the ideas presented here have been developed over time through abduction research, I'm just presenting them here in my own way. If someone wants to incorporate these ideas into an abduction movie, go ahead, I would love to see an abduction movie that doesn't twist and sensationalize every aspect of the phenomena. Realism is often the best seller I have found, if you consider abductions to be real that is.
you should sell licensing to a movie dude.
It could be, but I also don't doubt sleep paralysis can occur naturally. But judging by what you said, you seems to think you're being abducted? Why is that exactly, can you elaborate? And what sort of evidence do you claim to have?
Is sleep paralysis anything to do with with abductions?

The difference is they have a legitimate reason to be so involved with the subject.
What is the difference?
I don't think she used hypnosis to remember what happened, it came in flash backs if I remember correctly. And as I have said many times now, I personally feel flashbacks and dreams are less reliable for many reasons, they can recall events with more clarity under hypnosis, which has been used successfully for in many different cases not involving alien abduction for that reason.
Other witnesses have recalled the events through hypnosis, which you have defended.
It is inconstent with the conclusions reached based on abduction accounts. Her descriptions clearly differ from the majority, and the majority is what we consider to be most likely true, it's a framework that allows us to analyze the authenticity of abduction accounts. You may say it's all based on fantasy in the first place, but that's why we examine all the information they provide and decide whether it's coincidence or corroboration. I just don't find the arguments provided thus far properly explain this phenomena. Therefore I will not dismiss it at this point.
Define "inconsistency". There are no internal inconsistency
Because she constants tell everyone about her story, she clearly seeks to make a profit from this though actually knows very little about her abductors. She is vastly different from the typical abductee, who often knows something weird is happening in their life, but don't bother to look into it. Those who do look more into it wont be shouting the results to the world, it's a very personal thing that they seek help for, and can have a major impact on their life. Those who do submit information for abduction research will also often remain anonymous; so this women is far from the typical abductee.
How is she any more obsessed than any other abductee?
She's not different really, and that's why we compare her case against the majority descriptions. She basically just had a very brief alien and UFO sighting, she remembers nothing of the abduction, so in the end she can't really provide us with much information about what goes on inside a UFO, because she can't remember. Her descriptions of aliens were some what similar to Greys, and she described things such as missing time and suddenly being knocked unconscious, and these things are to be expected. All abductees will provide some truth mixed with some confabulation, that's why you need to examine all cases as one body of evidence, and analyze the information as I've been saying.
I am finding all of this particularly interesting. How is she different than any other abductee?
So a dribbling dwarf freak that drags people down stairs? Sounds like something paranormal rather than aliens. I don't really believe houses can be haunted, so I wouldn't say it is paranormal though. If other people have been physically damaged by this being, then you have some sort of proof you aren't insane. It doesn't really sound like you're being abducted, but it could be that you're only remembering screen memories. I don't really know what to make of your story, if it's real.
I opened my eyes, unable to move and there was this ugly stockydwarf like creature standing beside the bed, dribbling spit.
--
An ex partner was driven out. Eventually he was pushed and dragged down the stairs. The injuries he sustained was incredable. Cuts, bruises, carpet burn all on one side.
I'm not saying you are a liar, but I don't really know you're telling the truth do I? That's all I meant.
I am not a liar,
Well that is interesting indeed, please share with us some pictures of this device if you manage to get it removed. Don't let them confiscate it, request to keep it, or at least get photo's of it.
in a few months i may have some answers and the rice like lump removed from just under the skin on my leg.
Well that is strange, maybe they are actually saying "sorry we have to replace your abduction memories with such frightening stuff, but it helps to make people think you're only having nightmares"?. You haven't actually said all that much about your experiences, so I don't really have much to go by. Seems like you're holding a lot back. You're accounts seem to be very violent and not typical (but also not that rare). I just don't want to jump to conclusions and think that aliens are beating people up and dragging them down stairs when it could be they are actually loving and nice. I am obviously very suspicious of their motives, and why they are even here. I even made a thread not long ago titled "Aliens are Evil", which I highly regret now. Anyway, I don't want to make you feel like no one believes you or anything like that, I'm sure you have all the proof you need. You don't need to prove anything to anyone.
They actually apologised for being so scary once!
