"There are worse things than death, I suspected. And I was beginning to get the distinct impression that one of them had taken an interest in me. "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. " Strieber stated: be there [in the presence of the entities], and yet I couldn't move, couldn't cry out, couldn't get away. I 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. °7? In later years, Strieber apparently changed his mind. While careful not to be too dogmatic, Strieber at times stated that he believed the alien entities may be benevolent space brothers who are here to help mankind with our spiritual and physical evolution. This kind of reversal is common in abduction cases. People who often report the most hideous, sadistic experiences imaginable will later come to identify with their captors as moral beings with a "higher cause." This same phenomenon was seen by psychiatrists after the holocaust of World War II.

The good news is that Walk-ins must be "invited in." However, when a person enters a state of altered consciousness—such as astral projection, telepathic communication, channeling, hypnosis, mediumship, etc.—the entities may attempt to fill the void left by the altered state. Nothing we have found in alien contact phenomena more closely parallels demonic possession, where disembodied entities enter a human being and take over the bodily functions of the host. ae ee ee ee fea. ATLL. ML ae TH Demonic possession, as a theme, appears numerous times in the New Testament. The indwelling of human beings by demons can begin in childhood (Luke 9:39) and can cause great physical harm including dumbness, blindness, epilepsy, and a host of other disabilities (See Matt. 9:32—33; 12:22; 17:15, 18). Tragically, many abduction researchers have uncovered cases of probable childhood abduction as well. 148 After discussing the paralysis and sense of helplessness induced by the alien entities "I felt an absolutely indescribable sense of menace.
