Sorry, but this psychologist doesn't buy the "sleep paralysis"
loophole. That fall-back explanation does NOT account for a list of factors involved in the abduction experiences.
Does "sleep paralysis" occur? Sure.
I just don't accept it as a SUFFICIENT explanation for the abduction experience.
And, I think it's a nice 'warm, fuzzy' pseudo-explanation for folks who are toooo uncomfortable facing the facts of the abduction phenomena.
Super-rationalists are hyper averse to accepting "supernatural" or other 'out there' phenomena as even remotely possible. Soooooo, one of their strategies for dealing with such realities and possibilities is to DEFINE THEM OUT OF POSSIBILITY.
The only ones they are fooling are themselves, however.
I wonder why i never saw or heard anything strange or menacing when i had sleep paralysis?
Your sister deserves protection, imho.

You are not a psychologist.
You are correct Though that HSP is not sufficient. What you are missing is the false memories induced by hypnosis and confabulation by quacks.
Surely , mr psychologist, you see the ethical problem with suggesting that a 13 year old girl is being abducted by aliens rather than seeking a rational explaination? Lets not add to the confusion.

Nice try at tarnishing the reputation of a quality researcher.
He did a good job.
He documented things in a systematic way.
Just because his results don't fit your lofty constructions on reality is a laughable reason to toss him and his data in the trash.
Maybe you sleep better at night doing so.
Your fantasies don't satisfy most thinking folks as suitable explanations for the typical sequence of events.

I think it's cheeky to try and so derisively dismiss the realities of their EXPERIENCES vs your fanatasies about their experiences.
in the cases where the woman goes to her gynecologist at the end of the first trimester of pregnancy and the baby is fine. THAT VERY NIGHT there's another abduction and the woman remembers it or wakes up the next morning and knows the baby is gone. She goes to the gynecologist THAT DAY and sure enough, the baby is gone.
Go laugh in that woman's face. Maybe she'd give you a fitting response.

I find your replies extremely insulting.
Enjoy your constructions on the "sequences of events" this thread is set-up to talk about.
Yes, there was documentation on at least a woman or 3 who had that experience with her/their hybrid baby(-ies) at the end of the first trimester. No. I don't have a ref handy from what I read a decade or 3 ago.
I think the report has been included in one or two or more of the better researched books on such topics.
I don't expect to respond further to your posts or replies unless I care to make a point off of them for other readers.
