So
many strange unexplained events happened so long ago. As a small child growing
up, all things experienced just seem a part of life and it is a part of the growing
process. How does one so young and small know any difference, that something is
not part of the everyday normal? But as time goes on, a realization sets in
that something isn’t right. Not all things are “normal.” Trying to describe
these events is extraordinarily difficult since there are not words to describe
the events and the sense of what they were like. There is nothing on Earth to
compare this situation to. As I grew older, it became a secret to keep. I didn’t
understand most of it. I just couldn’t talk about it; how could I talk about “it?”
I
have always said alien abduction does not happen in a vacuum. As sneaky as
these alien Beings are, not all of their activities go unnoticed. Many events
can be explained away with a simple explanation that will appease the mind and
the senses so everyone’s lives can go back to that treasured spectacle which is
the ideal of normalcy of life. The human mind is very good at explaining things
away so everything can go back to the way it should be. It helps us sleep at
night knowing that everything is as it should be.
There
was one person who recognized that something unusual was happening to me as I
was growing up and was as perplexed about it as I was -- my mom. Moms know
everything, don’t they? They always seem to know what you did before you
realized you actually did it. I think everyone who had a mom can attest to that
motherly super power. She knew something unusual was going on with me but
couldn’t figure it out. She saw strange things happening with me that were not happening
with my sister. I was definitely different. Mom sought help from everybody she
could think of: teachers, clergy, friends, therapists, family, and the usual
kinds of outlets, but with no answers. Nobody could explain the strange things
that she observed.
I
want to write about a few things that relate to both of us and our experience. We
lived in the country. And I do mean the country. We had no immediate neighbors.
We had nobody around. We had several acres of land. I’m talking total isolation
in the country: dirt roads, no street lamps, no sidewalks, nothing. A farmer
owned the land all around us. My parents’ families thought they were nuts to
build a house so far out in the wilderness but they did it anyway. That’s the
way we rolled, so to speak.
When
I was very young, my father worked the night shift in town which was many miles
away. A very strange thing would occur on some nights. My mother would hear
voices outside of the house. She said it sounded like several voices which
would get closer and louder. Here we were a mom and two little kids alone in
the country with nobody around and she hears people outside the house. It
scared her so much she called the police. This is a huge event. To be scared so
much to actually call the police. The police came and searched the area but
they could not find anything. The only explanation the cops could come up with
is that perhaps some people were having a party some ways away and somehow
their voices carried just right to make it seem like it was happening right
outside the house. The voices would return several times but my mom only called
the police the one time. There was no explanation for those events.
I
also have a memory of that time period that is very disturbing and I have never
forgotten it. It was at night; my mother is upstairs in one of the bedrooms in
the corner. She is crouched down holding a rifle across her chest and she is
staring straight ahead. Her eyes are big and round; I have never seen her look
like that before. She was beyond scared of something, totally terrified of
something. It looked like she was staring at something that was behind me. I
was trying to get her to move and she wouldn’t move. She wouldn’t look at me.
She was like a statue. She was frozen clutching the rifle with both hands. I
could move, I was touching her with my right hand and trying to move her.
Nothing worked. Then I have no memory of anything more; but I never forgot
that. Why was she frozen in fear like a statue? What made her get the gun out
of the closet? What made her crouch in the corner with the rifle? Why couldn’t
I get her to move?
My
mother was sensitive to what was happening to me even though neither of us could
explain it. There was a time I had left my room to go outside. It was during
the day in the summertime. My mother had gone into my room and she started
screaming. She was screaming that there was “something” in my room and it
panicked her. I felt terrible. I didn’t want to talk about it. It was something
we were not supposed to talk about. I had to dismiss it and explain it away to
myself. That is what I was supposed to do. She knew “they” were in the room. She could
sense their presence and this would occur many times over the years. But this
was more than a feeling of a presence. These alien Beings have the ability to camouflage
themselves so they can’t be seen but they sure can be felt. An abductee can
feel their presence. It is a very particular sensation. My mom knows this
feeling. Alien abduction doesn’t happen in a vacuum. There are indeed witnesses
but no one cares to listen about this aspect.
As
we talked about this incident now, mom mentions that while she was in my room,
she could feel something watching her and staring at her from my closet in the
bedroom. She knew exactly where this was coming from in the room. This was more
than the sensation of a presence and every time she talks about it, she gets
the same feeling and sensation all over again and it totally unnerves her just
as it did all those years ago. This information about the closet was
fascinating for me because I have been plagued with dreams about that closet in
that bedroom. I have written pages and pages of dreams associated with that
closet and how there is something in there that isn’t right or that something
is trying to tell me something from that closet. What a perfect place for a camouflaged
alien to hide in to observe their prey, a bedroom closet where they are out of
the way and would not be disturbed.
When
the truth came out about what had been happening to me for all of these years,
my mother felt relief after dealing with the shock of non-human beings interfering
with our lives. She felt vindicated. There was vindication after all those
years. Finally, we knew what it was. She knew something was happening all along
but there was no one with any answers to help us deal with it. Vindication can
be a healing thing and I’m glad it finally came for both of us. My mom did the
best she could in trying to deal with the unknown.
A
mother knows what is going on with her children. We did the best we could in
dealing with a force that most of humanity doesn’t even know exists. To me,
that is a hell of a mother and I was very lucky indeed.
The voices could also be a ghosty thing. There was a place near where i lived which would 'replay' noises from the past every now and again.
ReplyDeleteAnother take might be that your mom was a bit crazy. I've worked with many crazy people many of whom see or hear stuff that's not there.
Arguably some of them could be super sensitive and are picking up on stuff that's too faint for us to notice but many are simply nuts.

How dare you imply that my mother "was a bit crazy."
DeleteHow dare you say something like this!
You obviously have no reading comprehension or any kind of basic understanding about what happens with the alien abduction phenomenon.
So, according to Brian Coombes it's either "a ghostly thing" or Conner's mother is "crazy".

By the way B. Coombes -- my mother thinks you are a total jerk!
DeleteHuh, this sounds kinda familiar to me. I too lived out in the middle of nowhere and had some strange, unexplainable things happen. Have my whole life, although things seem less intense nowadays. One time, I was probably around 12 or 13, I was standing between the kitchen and the living room of our trailer, my parents were in the living room, and we could hear a sound that was like someone was dragging something really heavy all around the perimeter of the house. Then, it would switch just like that to sounding like someone was walking on the roof of the house, then back to the dragging. It went on like that for what seemed like forever, then my dad finally went outside to look, but he never saw anything. We talked about calling the sheriff but we never did. That same thing happened maybe a couple weeks later when I was at home by myself. I was so scared I went and got a fork and a bible and sat on the couch petrified until my parents got home. Our neighbor about a mile or so away talked about seeing a little "demon" in her barn when she went out to milk her cows one morning. My parents and I did see a black triangle UFO with red and blue lights on the bottom a few miles from my house one night. It appeared to rotate as it went over the car. We followed it for a few miles, and it finally stopped and appeared to hover over some trees, then it crossed the road where we were parked and continued on to the north. We watched it till it disappeared. I don't have any straight up memories of being abducted, I would wake up paralyzed a lot as a kid, and there was one night, I was probably about 8 years old, I had a horrible dream that seemed like it lasted all night long, I kept waking up paralyzed, and then what I thought was Caspar the Ghost would chase me, and there was another kid with me. We were running outside, and I finally fell in a ditch, and then I could feel my hair standing on end and something was sticking in the back of my neck. For some reason I thought it was popsicle sticks. I finally did see, when I was about 23, what must have been a "gray" alien in my boyfriend's bedroom,I woke up in the middle of the night with it's face really close to mine, and then I blacked out. It was like no time passed by and then I was awake again and it was suddenly early morning. I remember a little later getting in my car and sitting behind the wheel thinking to myself "oh god, what happened? It was a demon. No, it was a dream. No, it was real. No it was a dream." I told myself that was a dream for 15 years, and then finally, I was thinking about it one day, and I realized that it wasn't a dream, and I had just been telling myself that so I would feel better. That same night, I dreamed I was in a round room, and a gray was sitting in front of me behind something that was like a desk or a table or control panel or something. He was a bit scaly looking in my dream, though, anyway, he told me inside my head with this metallic sounding voice "I am your father" and I remember thinking "Well that's bullshit!"
