"The Secret Commonwealth" and it's relationship to ufo entities
Jacques Vallee, in his book "Passport to Magonia", which covered
the
subject of ufos and folklore, has a chapter called "The Secret
Commonwealth." Why would a distinquished ufo research like Vallee
have a chapter on fairy encounters in a book about ufos? Perhaps the
following essay, links and references will reveal why.

It has long been the habit of scholars to study the obscure, the
strange, and the unusual. Aside from the intrinsic interest of such
subjects, the fringes of human experience offer the widest scope for
unexpectedly enlarging our collective knowledge. Many common
scientific subjects were once "fringe:" electricity, meteors and
radioactivity
were all once beyond the pale of standard knowledge. No scholar worth
his salt would pass up an opportunity to write their name into
history as a discoverer.
Robert Kirk was such a scholar. Born in 1644, Kirk came from a long
line of educated men. His grandfather, John Kirk, was a notary and
scrivener in Edinburgh, Scotland. His father, Reverend James Kirk,
was appointed minister to the parish of Aberfoyle, in Perthshire, in
1639. He had a large family, of whom Robert Kirk was his seventh son.
Among
the Celts, this was a propitious place to be born -- seventh sons
were commonly believed to have second sight. Kirk never made a
reputation
as a seer, but he was exceptionally gifted intellectually. He studied
at
Edinburgh University and at St. Andrews, receiving his master's
degree at 17. Ordained as a minister, Kirk served at various parishes
for
the next twenty years. He married in 1678.
Kirk was also a linguist. He translated the psalms into Gaelic
verse, and translated other religious works into the Scots Highland
dialect.
His facility with Gaelic led him to be named editor of a new Irish
edition of the bible. In June 1685 he was appointed to his father's
old parish of Aberfoyle, and served there until his early death in
1692.
Aberfoyle was, in the words of Sir Walter Scott, "[a] beautiful and
wild region, comprehending so many lakes, rocks, sequestered valleys,
and dim copsewoods, and not even yet quite abandoned by the fairies,
who have resolutely maintained secure footing in a region so well
suited to their residence."
His linguistic expertise would have been enough to insure Robert
Kirk a footnote in the cultural history of the British Isles, but his
real
fame (and interest to readers of ParaScope) lies in his study of
fairy lore. He collected tales of fairy encounters by his countrymen
and
analyzed them in a monograph entitled "The Secret Common-Wealth."
In Kirk's time, fairies were not seen as tiny, gauzy-winged
creatures of children's storybooks. Far from it -- fairies were
thought of as
strange, powerful creatures, a paraphysical race of beings living
among mankind. It was common for some of the clergy to denounce fairy
folk
as demons, or at least servants of Satan. Kirk wasn't so sure. He
decided that they were a separate race "betwixt Man and Angel."
Lacking
scientific language to describe fairy attributes, Kirk resorted to
poetic descriptions. Fairies were made on "congealed Air" or
"condensed cloud." This ethereal composition was crucial to their
ability to
vanish at will, fly, or penetrate any enclosed space, no matter how
tiny. Being so nebulous, fairies imbibed only the most refined of
"spirituous liquors" (Scotland being a good location for such), and
Kirk noted that although they had prodigious appetites, fairies never
grew fat because they only used the quintessence of food and drink.
Humans sometimes stumbled upon fairy banquets hidden away in the
hills, but mortals should never partake of fairy food; one taste, and
the
luckless human was forever a captive of the Subterranean race. An
especially odd detail Kirk gives is that the fairies had a special
class of servant at their revels, whom he describes as "Pleasant
Children" or enchanted puppets, which sounds like the fairies were
tended by mechanical dolls...
Fairy affairs curiously mirrored the situation of their human
neighbors. When men experienced a good harvest, things were poorly in
the fairy realm, and vice-versa. Fairies lived in tribes and "orders"
(medieval social classes), had factions, fought wars among themselves
-- sometimes in the sky, to the astonishment of mortal witnesses --
and by custom had to move their homes at the beginning of each quarter
of
the year. These migrations were sometimes seen by psychically gifted
Scots, and led to them being called "the crew that never rest."
Fairy fashion echoed that of the country in which they lived. In
Scotland, they wore plaid kilts, and in Ireland dressed like the
Irish. Fairy women were the finest spinners and weavers in the world,
making
cloth as fine as cobwebs, which seems only fitting for a race made of
congealed air. They had no religion, but would flee when humans
invoked God or Jesus. Kirk repeats the common belief that fairies fear
and
hate iron, and offers an unusual reason why: Hell, it seems, is a
place so
hot and terrible molten iron flows like water all over the place.
Being highly sensitive creatures, the fairies cannot bear even the
smell of
cold iron, as it reminds them of the fate that awaits them once they
die... torment and eventual destruction in Hell. (Gehenna - the lake
of fire.
Fairy relations with humans are always strange and often tragic.
Time passes differently among the fairies. What seems like a few days
or
weeks in Elfland can be decades in the mortal world. Kirk's
informants told him of vast underground halls, lit by perpetual lamps,
where
hundreds of fairies feasted and roistered down the ages.
There were also more sinister aspects to human/fairy interactions.
Most people have heard of changelings, where a human baby is taken
away from its parents and a defective fairy child left in its place.
But
the Subterraneans did not balk at taking adults away too. They
particularly liked women who'd just given birth. They were kidnapped
to serve as
wet nurses to fairy babies. Interestingly, the fairies would leave
exact
doubles of their captives behind. Kirk discusses these doppelgangers,
who he calls "co-walkers," in some detail. Like changeling infants,
co-walkers tend to weaken, become incoherent, and eventually die.
They're not human or fairy, but a sort of biological robot created by
fairy magic to distract mortals away from the truth about the
abduction of their loved ones. UFO lore is full of co-walker types.
Many of the
classic "men in black" episodes feature clumsy, muddle-mouthed
visitors who don't quite seem in sync with the mundane world. MIBs,
like
co-walkers, perform some task, then depart -- though they don't
usually die in front of puzzled witnesses.
Kirk gives this account of one woman's abduction (I have modernized
his spelling):
"Among other instances of undoubted verity, proving in these the
being of such aerial people, or species of creatures not vulgarly
known, I
add the subsequent relations, some whereof I have from my
acquaintance with the actors and patients and the rest from the
eyewitnesses to
the matter of fact. The first whereof shall be of the woman taken out
of
her child-bed, and having a lingering image of her substituted body
in her room, which resemblance decayed, died, and was buried. But the
person stolen returning to her husband after two years space, he
being convinced by many undeniable tokens that she was his former
wife,
admitted her home and had diverse children by her. Among other
reports she gave her husband, this was one: that she perceived little
what
they [the fairies] did in the spacious house she lodged in, until she
anointed one of her eyes with a certain unction that was by her;
which they perceiving to have acquainted her with their actions, they
fained her blind of that eye with a puff of their breath. She found
the
place full of light, without any fountain or lamp from whence it did
spring."
Kirk goes on to say the returned woman was undoubtedly the same one
everyone thought had died, and that her husband, having remarried
since her "death," was obliged to divorce his second wife to remarry
his
first. The scholarly minister's interest in the Good People (as
fairies
were euphemistically called) proved unhealthy. Kirk's monograph was
finished in 1691. A short time later, after the minister returned from
London
to Aberfoyle, he went for an evening stroll in his nightshirt. Kirk's
perambulations took him past a fairy mound near his home. While
passing by the mound (or walking over it, according to some accounts),
the 47
year-old scholar collapsed. He was found and brought home, but died
soon after and was buried in the kirkyard of his own church. Kirk's
death on or near a fairy mound must have made his parishioners
shudder, but an even weirder postscript would be added to the case.
One of Kirk's relatives was awakened in the night by the apparition
of the dead minister. Kirk gave him a message for his cousin, one
Graham
of Duchray. I am not dead, Kirk's specter declared. The Good People
had carried him off. He had one chance to escape their clutches: when
Kirk's posthumous child was christened (his wife being pregnant when
he died), Kirk's apparition would appear at the ceremony. Graham of
Duchray was to throw an iron-bladed knife over the head of the
minister's specter. Iron was a powerful counter to fairy magic, and
Kirk would be released from their power by this act. (One wonders
what would become of his corpse, buried securely in the Aberfoyle
cemetery... but some folk in Aberfoyle claimed that Kirk's body was
abducted, not just his soul. His coffin, it was said, was buried with
nothing in it but stones.)
The child was born, and duly christened. While the family dined
afterward, Kirk appeared before them. Unfortunately, his cousin
Graham was so thunderstruck by this vision he failed to throw his
knife as
directed. Kirk's spirit faded away, never to be seen again. Well into
the twentieth century people in Aberfoyle maintained that Robert Kirk
was not really dead, but lived as an eternal captive in fairyland.
This kind of fairy lore echoes again and again through UFO
literature. Strange time effects, odd, diminutive "people" with
pointed features
seen to occupy UFOs, traditional fairy gambits of borrowing ...
"In the lore of Scandinavia, Scotland, and Ireland, when
God cast out the arrogant angels from heaven, they became the evil
spirits that plague mankind, tormenting us and inflicting us with
harm. The ones who fell into hell and into caves and abysses
became devils and death-maidens. However, those who fell onto the
earth
became goblins, imps, dwarfs, thumblings, alps, noon-and-evening-
ghosts, and will-o'-the-wisps. Those who fell into the forests
became the
wood-spirits who live there: the hey-men, elves, the wild-men, the
forest-men, the wild-women, and the forest-women. Finally, those
who fell into the water became water spirits: water-men, mermaids,
and
merwomen. These angels were condemned to remain where they were,
becoming the faeries of seas and rivers, the earth, and the air."
"In Ireland, all the sidh or fairy hills (grave mounds) were said to
open up on the occasion [Halloween]. Folks insisted that it was
impossible to keep the fairies underground on Halloween. Since these
fairies were simply pagan spirits, the church naturally insisted that
demons were abroad on Halloween." (Walker, Barbara, The Woman's
Dictionary of Symbols and Sacred Objects, p. 180)
The popular Encyclopedia of Occultism by Lewis Spence, connects
fairies to the devil ands says of fairies, "They steal human children,
and
leave in their places fairy changelings. . ." (Lewis Spence,
Encyclopedia of Occultism, p. 154)
Dr. Kurt Koch, probably the world's greatest authority on demonology
writes of fairies in his book Occult ABC:
"If a person wants their [fairies] help, he must apply to their
chief, the devil himself. This however, would cost a person his
salvation.
The idea that these spirits [fairies] are demonic is in accordance
with
the Bible."
(Dr. Kurt Koch, Occult ABC, p. 83)
According to The Encyclopedia of Witches and Witchcraft, "Fairies are
fallen angels." It goes on to describe fairies as, "Some fairies were
said to suck human blood like vampires. . . Many contemporary Witches
believe in fairies and some see them clairvoyantly. Some Witches say
their Craft [WitchCraft] was passed down from
fairies . . ." (Rosemary
Ellen Guiley, The Encyclopedia of Witches and Witchcraft, p. 117)
Fairies come from the underground of hell. "Fairies are generally
believed to live as a nation in an underground
location. . ." (Harpers'
Encyclopedia of Mystical & Paranormal Experience, p. 198)
Alien Abductions in the Gingerbread House
by Karla Turner, Ph.D.
http://www.karlaturner.org/
World renowned UFO researcher Jacques Vallee has repeatedly referred
to the similarities between UFO and abduction reports and the stories
of folklore and fairy tales. I disagree with Dr. Vallee on many, many
points of ufology, but here I will grant that there is one fairy tale
which does have something important to tell us about the alien
abduction phenomenon. It is not, however, what Dr. Vallee might think.
The story of Hansel and Gretel presents a lesson that every abductee
should heed. These innocent children, wandering lost and frightened in
the forest, came upon a gingerbread house that seemed to offer them
shelter and sustenance. The owner of the house, a wizened old woman,
was frightening to them at first, but their hunger pushed the children
to accept her offer to come inside and be fed.
They entered the gingerbread house and promptly became the old woman's
captives. Kept in cages, the two children were abundantly fed. It was
not for their benefit, though. In fact, they were being fattened up
for the oven! The deceptive nature of the gingerbread house and of the
old woman's offer of food worked quite well.
It is the deceptive quality of this story that holds a warning for
humans who are abducted by aliens. Like Hansel and Gretel, we are
initially terrified by our encounter with aliens, but in too many
cases, our fear is overcome by the words of our abductors and by the
thoughts and experiences they present to us.
I, too, am an abductee, and my quest to discover the nature of my own
experiences led me into abduction research over the past four years.
Working with many other abduction cases, I have learned just how basic
the deception of alien actions can be.
My family and I also delved into our own experiences, both past and
present. Barbara Bartholic, a dedicated UFO investigator from Tulsa,
Oklahoma, worked closely with us and helped us fill in the gaps in our
recollections of strange encounters through hypnotic regression. Ms.
Bartholic, by the way, began her own research as an assistant to
Jacques Vallee in cattle mutilation investigations, so her expertise
in ufology is wide-ranging. I have recently written a book, Into the
Fringe, about the startling and often disturbing results of our
personal investigations, and it [was] published by the Berkley
Publishing Group in November 1992.
My interest soon expanded past the merely personal, and for the past
several years I have worked as Ms. Bartholic's research associate,
exploring literally hundreds of sighting and encounter cases with her.
And what I've learned through this work has raised far more questions
than answers. In fact, it has taught me to be wary of those
researchers who do claim to have answers. I have yet to hear of a
single theory or explanation that accounts for all of the data.
Some researchers have pointed out patterns of events in the abduction
experience, such as the physical examination, the taking of sperm and
ova, and the later presentation of a hybrid baby to the abductee.
Other patterns include the training of the abductee in some way and
the delivery of a warning of some upcoming global disaster. Yes, these
events are frequently reported, as one researcher has said in boring
repetitious accounts, and it is tempting to think that the explanation
for alien abductions may lie in these patterns.
So the researchers announce that the problem is solved. The aliens are
doing cross breeding experiments, ufologists tell us. Never mind the
overwhelming evidence against the viable commingling of different
species. Or, we are told, the aliens are here to save us from
destroying ourselves and our planet through violence, drug use,
epidemic disease, pollution, and resource depletion. Never mind that
these problems have grown worse, not better, since the ETs began
visiting us.
Most infuriating of all, we are assured that there are no actual
aliens, that our experiences spring from our own subconscious turmoil
or from our need for fantasy fulfillment. Never mind that many
abductees are young children, too young to be suffering from such
psychological disturbances. Well, then, the resourceful researcher
counters, the imagined aliens must spring from some collective human
super-psyche that is mirroring our failures and dangers back to us.
This particular theory adores the archetypal gray ET, because it
resembles some sickly fetal form of humanity and must therefore be an
objectified warning of what our species is in danger of becoming if we
don't mend our ways. Never mind that many, many abductees have no
dealing with grays, but instead are victimized by robust reptoids and
insectoid-type aliens. Not to mention the totally human-looking blond
beauties and black-headed, black-robed clan with the widow's peak
hairline.
No, too many researchers seem to find a theory and cling to it in
spite of data that contradict it. And it is the ideas of these
researchers that dominate ufology. But if the public had access to the
raw data, to the first-hand reports of abductees, especially those
unfamiliar with UFO-oriented books, magazines, and lecturers, they
would find a much less neatly organized set of patterns. These
"virgin" cases - people uncontaminated by ufological literature -
supply a staggering picture of human-alien contact events.
What follows here is an overview of these "virgin" reports, a list of
recurrent experiences that, taken together, gives us a close-up view
of what the aliens are doing here on earth. This data doesn't tell us
for certain just what sort of creatures the aliens are, or what their
purpose here may be. But it does tell us what humans are experiencing
and what they are observing in the actions and capabilities of the
aliens. Every detail in the following list has been reported by more
than one abductee, and in many cases the details have turned up quite
frequently.
ABDUCTION "CHECKLIST".
If these reports can be believed - and there is no reason to doubt the
honesty of the reporters - the abduction phenomenon includes the
following details.
Aliens can alter our perception of our surroundings.
Aliens can control what we think we see. They can appear to us in any
number of guises, and shapes.
Aliens can take us--our consciousness--out of our physical bodies,
disable our control of our bodies, install one of their own entities,
and use our bodies as vehicles for their own activities before
returning our consciousness to our bodies.
Aliens can be present with us in an invisible state and can make
themselves only partially visible.
Abductees receive marks on their bodies other than the well-known
scoops and straight-line scars. These other marks include single
punctures, multiple punctures, large bruises, three and four-fingered
claw marks, and triangles of every possible sort.
Female abductees often suffer serious gynecological problems after
their alien encounters, and sometimes these problems lead to cysts,
tumors, cancer of the breasts and uterus, and to hysterectomies.
Aliens take body fluids from our necks, spines, blood veins, joints
such as knees and wrists, and other places. They also inject unknown
fluids into various parts of our bodies.
A surprising number of abductees suffer from serious illnesses they
didn't have before their encounters. These have led to surgery,
debilitation, and even death from causes the doctors can't identify.
Some abductees experience a degeneration of their mental, social, and
spiritual well-being. Excessive behavior frequently erupts, such as
drug abuse, alcoholism, overeating, and promiscuity. Strange
obsessions develop and cause the disruption of normal life and the
destruction of personal relationships.
Aliens show a great interest in adult sexuality, child sexuality, and
in inflicting physical pain on abductees.
Abductees recall being instructed and trained by aliens. This training
may be in the form of verbal or telepathic lessons, slide shows, or
actual hands-on instruction in the operation of alien technology.
Abductees report being taken to facilities in which they encounter not
only aliens but also normal-looking humans, sometimes in military
uniforms, working with the alien captors.
Abductees often encounter more than one sort of alien during an
experience, not just the grays. Every possible combination of gray,
reptoid, insectoid, blond, and widow's peak have been seen during
single abductions, aboard the same craft or in the same facility.
Abductee "virgin" cases - report being taken to underground facilities
where they see grotesque hybrid creatures, nurseries of hybrid
humanoid fetuses, and vats of colored liquid filled with parts of
human bodies.
Abductees report seeing other humans in these facilities being drained
of blood, being mutilated, flayed, and dismembered, and being stacked,
lifeless, like cords of wood. Some abductees have been threatened that
they, too, will end up in this condition if they don't cooperate with
their alien captors.
Aliens come into homes and temporarily remove young children, leaving
their distraught parents paralyzed and helpless. In cases where a
parent has been able to protest, the aliens insist that "The children
belong to us."
Aliens have forced their human abductees to have sexual intercourse
with aliens and even with other abductees while groups of aliens
observe these performances. In such encounters, the aliens have
sometimes disguised themselves in order to gain the cooperation of the
abductee, appearing in such forms as Jesus, the Pope, certain
celebrities, and even the dead spouses of the abductees.
Child abductees sometimes show a new and obsessive interest in their
own genitalia after alien encounters, saying that their abductors who
come at night have been touching these parts of their bodies.
Aliens perform extremely painful experiments or procedures on
abductees, saying that these acts are necessary, but giving no
explanation why. Abductees' eyes are painfully removed from the
sockets, allowing the aliens to scrape the area or implant devices
into the area before the eyeballs are replaced, for instance. Some
abductees are subjected to painful constrictions, often around the
head, chest and extremities. Painful genitalia and anal probes are
performed, on children as well as adults.
Aliens make predictions of an imminent period of global chaos and
destruction. They say that a certain number of humans- -and the number
varies dramatically from case to case--will be "rescued" from the
planet in order to continue the species, either on another planet or
back on earth after the destruction is over. Many abductees report
that they don't believe their alien captors and foresee instead a much
more sinister use of the "rescued" humans.
In every instance from this list, there are multiple reports from
unrelated cases, confirming that such bizarre details are not the
product of a single deranged mind. These details are convincing
evidence that, contrary to the claims of many UFO researchers, the
abduction experience isn't limited to a uniform pattern of events.
This phenomenon simply can't be explained in terms of cross-breeding
experiments or scientific research into the human physiology.
Spritually Enlightened?
It becomes clear from these details that the beings who are doing such
things can't be seen as spiritually enlightened, with the best
interest of the human race in mind. Something else is going on,
something far more painful and frightening, in many, many abduction
encounters.
There is a theory current in ufological research that says abductees
who perceive their experiences in a negative way only do so because
they themselves aren't spiritually or psychically advanced. Persons
with higher cosmic development have positive alien encounters, so the
theory goes, and those who have painful or frightening experiences are
merely spiritual Neanderthals. This is a pet theory of researchers who
claim that aliens, whether objectively real or not, serve as "mirrors"
of our spiritual nature, on an individual or a species-wide basis.
Strieber has voiced this theory, for instance, in Majestic, where he
says, "In the eyes of the others [the aliens], we who met them saw
ourselves. And there were demons there."
Having worked with so many decent, honest, positively oriented
abductees, however, I believe this theory is wrong. It is worse than
wrong - it is despicable, as despicable as blaming a rape victim for
the violence committed against her. This attitude leaves many
abductees feeling doubly violated, first by the aliens who took them
and then by the UFO researchers to whom they turn for explanations and
help.
Perhaps it is easy to understand why such a theory would be so
popular. Humans have a deep need to believe in the power of good. We
need for the aliens to be a good force, since we feel so helpless in
their presence. And we need for some superior force to offer us a hope
of salvation, both personally and globally, when we consider the sorry
state of the world.
I think the aliens know this about us--they know that we want and hope
for them to be benevolent creatures - and they use our desire for
goodness to manipulate us. What better way to gain our cooperation
than to tell us that the things they are doing are for our own good?
Looking at the actions, the results of alien interference such as the
long list above, there is a great discrepancy between what we desire
from them and what they are doing to us.
Not all abduction reports are filled with frightening or painful
events, of course. Many people say that their alien encounters felt
benevolent, that their abductors treated them kindly or at least with
a scientific detachment. Some abductees recall being told that they
were "special," that they were "chosen," and that they have an
important task to perform for the benefit of humanity.
Given such a positive message, the abductees may ignore the fear and
the pain of their encounters and insist to themselves and to others
that a higher motive underlies the abduction experience. And, in some
cases, all that an abductee remembers is a benevolent encounter, and
so has no reason to assume any negative action has occurred.
Intensive research now shows that at the core of the human-alien
interaction there is a clear pattern of deception. We know, for
instance, that "screen memories" are often used to mask an alien
abduction. Such accounts abound, in which a person sees a familiar,
yet out-of-place animal, like a deer or owl, a monkey or a rabbit, and
then experiences a period of missing time. The person often awakens
later to find a new, unexplained scar on his body.
Uneasiness about the encounter will persist, however, and far
different memories may start to surface in dreams or flashbacks, and
then the person seeks help to explain the uneasiness. Quite often,
hypnotic regression is used to uncover the events behind the "screen
memory," and that is when a typical alien abduction surfaces.
The most recent research in which I've been involved has turned up yet
a second sort of screening process. If it turns out to be accurate,
then thousands of abduction cases are in urgent need of re-
examination.
The typical scenario of undergoing the regressive hypnosis usually
results in penetration of the initial blocked memories.
The abductee then recalls an encounter, hitherto un-remembered, such
as undergoing a physical examination of some sort, perhaps having body
tissues removed or having a gynecological exam. Other typical reports
include the taking of sperm and ova, of being told of an important
task to be carried out, or of receiving a warning of upcoming
disaster.
In most cases, both the abductee and the investigator come away from
the hypnosis session feeling that they have discovered the truth about
the experience. Rationalization leads them to believe that the aliens'
purposes must be scientifically objective or benevolent. The less
threatening and more benevolent the hypnotically recalled event seems,
the more satisfied are the investigator and the abductee. "That wasn't
so bad, now, was it? These beings are our friends, or at least they
are not our enemies." And everyone goes away with a sense of relief. I
have yet to hear of a researcher who actually questions the uncovered
scenario.
However, from several recent cases, it is apparent that these
recovered memories may well also be yet another screen, masking events
that are much more reprehensible. I will explain one such case, to
make the point clear.
A Strange Report
A man in his late 40s came to us to explore several alien-related
events in his life, and in the interview he told of a strange,
although not apparently alien-oriented episode that had haunted him
since childhood. When he was ten years old, his grandmother came to
visit in his home, and since the house was small, she shared his bed
on the first night of her visit.
During the night, the boy was awakened by a loud male voice. He
couldn't understand what the voice was saying, but it sounded angry
and was addressing the grandmother lying beside him.
The next morning, he asked his grandmother, "What was that voice in
the bedroom last night?"
His grandmother, with tears in her eyes, pulled him tightly to her and
said, "That was the devil." She said nothing more about the episode,
but she did insist that her son take her back to her own home
immediately. It was an unreasonable request, and her son tried to talk
her out of it. But the grandmother was adamant, and finally her son
agreed to take her home the following day.
The entire family made the trip of over a hundred miles back to the
grandmother's farm, and within an hour of their arrival, the
grandmother suffered a massive stroke and died. Ever since that event,
the man had felt a heavy burden of guilt associated with his
grandmother's death. Yet there was no conscious reason for him to have
felt that way. The entire event was poignant and mystifying, but in
all the alien encounters he had subsequently undergone, he had felt
that the aliens were his friends and were helping him by expanding his
psychic abilities.
A regression session was arranged, and in the course of the hypnosis,
he was asked to look at that childhood experience. What he recalled
was an abduction in which he and his grandmother were taken to a
spacecraft in the company of reptilian aliens. He remembered the
aliens telling his grandmother that they were interested in learning
about her knowledge of medicinal herbs, and they offered to exchange
medical information of their own.
They gave the boy and the grandmother a liquid to drink, explaining
that it was beneficial and would make the grandmother feel young and
attractive again. So both of them drank the liquid, and the man
remembered seeing his grandmother indeed looking much younger. That
was the extent of his recollection.
Both he and Ms. Bartholic, who was conducting the regression, were
puzzled by this, because there was nothing in the episode to account
for the guilt he had felt about the grandmother's death. So Ms.
Bartholic deepened the man's trance level and asked him to look at it
again, with much clearer vision. And what he then recalled was much
more disturbing.
The abduction, at first, followed his initial recollection. But when
the liquid was drunk, he now remembered a very strong feeling of
change in his body. And he saw that the grandmother didn't actually
look younger. Instead, she was placed on a table and approached by one
of the reptilian aliens who wanted to have intercourse with her. The
liquid had acted as an aphrodisiac, yet the grandmother resisted and
said that since her husband's death she would not have sex with
anyone. The reptilian laughed and disappeared from the room
momentarily. When he returned, he was accompanied by a man who looked
exactly like the dead husband.
At this point, the grandmother agreed to have sex, but as the act was
in progress, she suddenly realized that the image of her dead husband
was a cruel illusion. It was actually the reptilian on top of her, and
she cried out in great resistance for him to leave her alone. Once he
was finished with her, he lifted up the little boy and placed him on
top of the grandmother, forcing another sex act upon the both of them.
Then the grandmother was removed from the table and the little boy was
victimized himself by the reptilian, forced to have anal and oral sex.
The grandmother protested violently, pushing the reptilian away from
her grandson and interposing her body between them. "By Jesus," she
shouted, "you will not touch this boy!"
That must have been the wrong thing to say, because the reptilian
became very angry and threatened her. "You will die for that!" he told
her, and the two people were returned to the bedroom from which they'd
been taken. The next morning, the grandmother told the little boy that
the devil had been there the night before, and that was when she
insisted upon being taken home. And, as it turned out, she did die
immediately thereafter.
This, then, was the cause of the man's lifelong sense of guilt about
her death. He had been forced to have sex with her, and her death had
followed shortly after. But none of this story would have emerged if
Ms. Bartholic had done as most investigators do and stopped the
regression after uncovering the story about the exchange of medicinal
knowledge.
There are other cases in our files that show a similar deception at
work in the initial hypnotic recall. We cannot trust that first
memory, it is clear, for like so much else in the abduction
experience, there may well be further maskings of events.
Before we allow ourselves to believe in the benevolence of the alien
interaction, we should ask, do enlightened beings need to use the
cover of night to perform good deeds? Do they need to paralyze us and
render us helpless to resist? Do "angels" need to steal our fetuses?
Do they need to manipulate our children's genitals and probe our
rectums? Are fear, pain and deception consistent with high spiritual
motives?

Karla Kandace Turner, Ph.D. was a highly respected abduction
researcher, author, lecturer, and teacher. She received her Bachelor's
degree from the University of California in Sacramento, a Master's
degree from the University of Nottingham, Nottingham England, and her
Ph.D. from the University of North Texas in Denton. She authored three
books about the abduction phenomenon: Into The Fringe, Taken, and
Masquerade of Angels.
In 1995, Karla contracted a very dangerous form of breast cancer
immediately following an abduction experience. She lost her battle
with cancer on January 9, 1996 at the age of 48. Karla has been
greatly missed by those her knew her and by the many people she helped
through her books and research. If you are interested in learning more
about her and her views about the abduction phenomenon, we highly
recommend that you read her articles on this Web site and her books,

"UnHoly Communion: The Spiritual Nature Of Abduction Reports"
"But the UFO phenomenon simply does not behave like extraterrestrial
visitors. It actually molds itself in order to fit a given culture."
- John Ankerberg, The Facts on UFOs and Other Supernatural Phenomena,
p. 10
"Human beings are under the control of a strange force that bends them
in absurd ways, forcing them to play a role in a bizarre game of
deception."
- Dr. Jacques Vallee, Messengers of Deception, p. 20
"We are dealing with a multidimensional paraphysical phenomenon which
is largely indigenous to planet earth."
- Brad Steiger, [cited in] Blue Book Files Released in Canadian UFO
Report, Vol. 4, No. 4, 1977, p. 20
"A large part of the available UFO literature is closely linked with
mysticism and the metaphysical. It deals with subjects like mental
telepathy, automatic writing and invisible entities as well as
phenomena like poltergeist [ghost] manifestation and 'possession.'
Many of the UFO reports now being published in the popular press
recount alleged incidents that are strikingly similar to demonic
possession and psychic phenomena."
- Lynn E. Catoe, UFOs and Related Subjects: USGPO, 1969; prepared
under AFOSR Project Order 67-0002 and 68-0003
"UFO behaviour is more akin to magic than to physics as we know it...
the modern UFOnauts and the demons of past days are probably
identical."
-Dr. Pierre Guerin, FSR Vol. 25, No. 1, p. 13-14
"The UFO manifestations seem to be, by and large, merely minor
variations of the age-old demonological phenomenon..."
- John A. Keel, UFOs: Operation Trojan Horse, p. 299
"A working knowledge of occult science...is indispensable to UFO
investigation."
-Trevor James, FSR Vol. 8, No. 1, p.10
"Studies of flying saucer cults repeatedly show that they are part of
a larger occult social world."
-Stupple & McNeece, 1979 MUFON UFO Symposium Proceedings, p. 49
"The 'medical examination' to which abductees are said to be
subjected, often accompanied by sadistic sexual manipulation, is
reminiscient of the medieval tales of encounters with demons. It makes
no sense in a sophisticated or technical framework: any intelligent
being equipped with the scientific marvels that UFOs possess would be
in a position to achieve any of these alleged scientific objectives in
a shorter time and with fewer risks."
- Dr. Jacques Vallee, Confrontations, p. 13
"The symbolic display seen by the abductees is identical to the type
of initiation ritual or astral voyage that is imbedded in the [occult]
traditions of every culture...the structure of abduction stories is
identical to that of occult initiation rituals...the UFO beings of
today belong to the same class of manifestation as the [occult]
entities that were described in centuries past."
-Dr. Jacques Vallee citing the extensive research of Bertrand Meheust
[Science-Fiction et Soucoupes Volantes (Paris, 1978); Soucoupes
Volantes et Folklore (Paris, 1985)], in Confrontations, p. 146,
159-161
"[The occultist] is brought into intelligent communication with the
spirits of the air, and can receive any knowledge which they possess,
or any false impression they choose to impart...the demons seem
permitted to do various wonders at their request."
- G.H. Pember, Earth's Earliest Ages and Their Connection with Modern
Spiritualism and Theosophy (1876), p. 254
"These entities are clever enough to make Strieber think they care
about him. Yet his torment by them never ceases. Whatever his
relationship to the entities, and he increasingly concludes that their
involvement with him is something 'good,' he also remains terrified of
them and uncertain as to what they are."
- John Ankerberg, The Facts on UFOs and Other Supernatural Phenomena,
p. 21
"I became entirely given over to extreme dread. The fear was so
powerful that it seemed to make my personality completely evaporate...
'Whitley' ceased to exist. What was left was a body and a state of raw
fear so great that it swept about me like a thick, suffocating
curtain, turning paralysis into a condition that seemed close to
death...I died and a wild animal appeared in my place."
- Whitley Strieber, Communion, p. 25-26
"Increasingly I felt as if I were entering a struggle that might even
be more than life and death. It might be a struggle for my soul, my
essence, or whatever part of me might have reference to the eternal.
There are worse things than death, I suspected... so far the word
demon had never been spoken among the scientists and doctors who were
working with me...Alone at night I worried about the legendary cunning
of demons ...At the very least I was going stark, raving mad."
- Whitley Strieber, Transformation, p. 44-45
"I wondered if I might not be in the grip of demons, if they were not
making me suffer for their own purposes, or simply for their
enjoyment."
- Whitley Strieber, Transformation, p. 172
"I felt an absolutely indescribable sense of menace. It was hell on
earth to be there [in the presence of the entities], and yet I
couldn't move, couldn't cry out, couldn't get away. I'd lay as still
as death, suffering inner agonies. Whatever was there seemed so
monstrously ugly, so filthy and dark and sinister. Of course they were
demons. They had to be. And they were here and I couldn't get away."
- Whitley Strieber, Transformation, p. 181
"Why were my visitors so secretive, hiding themselves behind my
consciousness. I could only conclude that they were using me and did
not want me to know why...What if they were dangerous? Then I was
terribly dangerous because I was playing a role in acclimatizing
people to them."
- Whitley Strieber, Transformation, p. 96
