Like you, I have long been fascinated by UFOs and the phenomenon of alien abduction. My interest has semi-recently morphed from distant and casual to something a lot more intense, as my identical twin sons are experiencers. They just turned five, and haven't had any experiences in a few months, which is a relief, as it was terrifying for them and for me. It started in the winter of 21/22, and stopped in September of '22, with just a couple after that. When it started, they weren't scared--they just suddenly started talking about the rocket ship with all the lights they could see out their window, and how it made no noise. I promise you - they had never seen anything about UFOs on TV. I am very anti-screen, and especially at that point in time, they'd watched precious little TV. (I know people love to debunk that idea, with "well, you can't control everything they're exposed to, blah, blah, blah." To which I say, I'd worked from home while being a stay at home single mother without any child care for years, do not tell me what I know and don't know.) From there it went to something far more frightening, that escalated to one of the twins just becoming absolutely hysterical one night, and completely unable to verbalize what had happened, other than to say it was "dangerous." I know this might sound completely batshit, but not long after that, I wound up calling a woman who does house clearings (like of ghosts), and she came and blessed the house. That was September of 2022, and things have been much calmer ever since. FWIW, their biological father (who left when they were six months old and they've never seen since) was also an experiencer. In a way, I am too--except in my situation I can say with confidence my experiences were prompted by sleep paralysis. Usually my sleep paralysis went a different direction, with my brain conjuring up a hallucination of being interrogated by government agents, but a couple of times it went with aliens. I was always pretty aware of what was happening, however. I will also tell you that at least in the case of my boys, being an experiencer goes deeper than just aliens. When they were just learning to speak, I was tucking them into bed and all of a sudden both of them were staring at something above my head. They both pointed, at what looked like nothing. I asked what they were looking at and they said, "the man." They stared, fixated, for several minutes, until they both visibly relaxed in the same moment. This was one of several such ghost stories. They also seem oddly psychic. Last week, I was at a public health forum on housing insecurity, where the issue of people living in motels was discussed multiple times. I got home, and within five minutes my son said, "Mommy, did you know sometimes people live in hotels?" I asked him how he knew that and he said, "I've seen it." (I do not think he has seen it.) Anyway - long story short - I don't know what it is they have experienced, exactly, but I know that I have never in my life seen a human being as terrified as my son was that night, and I will never forget it.
He didn't like talking about his suspicion that he had been abducted, perhaps more than once, as a child. He would talk about the time he and his friends were walking down a quiet country road one night and had a UFO sighting. It was quiet in the sense of little traffic, but in rural South Carolina there are cicadas, frogs, and a million other things making a racket. As they were walking, they noticed everything had turned to an eerie silence. They then saw white lights overhead that changed formation soundlessly before leaving at an impossible rate of speed. The thing he talked about most, though, was how eerie the silence was before they saw the UFOs, and how disquieting it was that no one who was there ever wanted to discuss what they saw that night, like it was intrinsically understood as taboo. Additionally, he talked about a house his family rented for one year that he strongly believed was haunted with a malevolent entity. The rest of his family (who are a lot more stable than he is) agree that the house was haunted, but most of the experiences were centered around him.

Wow. That's incredibly intense. So weird and powerful. Do you know more about their biological father's experiences?
