36 don’t know what these beings that abducted me looked like. Then something was inserted in my left ear, | think. | told them they were killing or hurting my brain, then | blacked out.” In the next remembered scene, something very different was going on, this time involving other humans. “| believe the FBI came to arrest me,” Lisa said, “and they called me by my maiden name. One man was really mean to me.” Lisa remembered nothing more, but she wondered the next morning if the soreness in her left ear and her throat had anything to do with the memory of the ear probe. The second experience, which she recorded as a dream, also involved some physical procedure aboard a craft, but it began on a rather exalted level. “| dreamed | was given a heavenly audience,” Lisa reported. “I believe it meant that they [aliens] invited me to speak with them, but | don’t remember about what.” A physical exam followed. “| saw myself on a table in a spaceship and alien beings standing at the end of my feet, telling me or each other that | was an excellent breeder,” she recalled. “A reptile-looking creature was getting on top of me, | guess to rape me.” After this, she remembered nothing more. The final experience had a much more conscious element to it than the ‘dreams/ in spite of its more ‘fantastic’ nature. Lisa had gone to bed early on this night and awoke at 1:10 a.m. Preparing to fall asleep again, but still awake, she began to feel a growing sense of some “pressure” which became very intense. “| looked up at the ceiling over me,” Lisa said, “and saw images that looked like vultures or the phoenix bird. There seemed to be two of them... trying to chase each other off. Their eyes glowed green, | believe. Then there appeared a spirit form. It seemed to have white hair anda beard. | started yelling frantically, ‘Oh, God, oh, Heavenly Father!’ over and over and trying to get myself free from the force. | felt my eyes roll back in my head. “Then | felt a great pulling, and I’m not sure if | was in spirit form or my body, but very quickly | was in the clouds and sky. | looked down and saw the lights of a town and vapors of the clouds. The spirit took me to a wall or some sort of tunnel, and | was going to be taken in. | don’t remember more of what | saw. The next thing | know, | was back in bed and looking at the same birds disappearing. | came out of the odd state | was in and went to the kitchen, | was trembling so bad. The clock said 3:40.” “God help me,” Lisa concluded, “whatever | was seeing.” The vulture and the phoenix, after all, are very different creatures who embody quite different concepts. A time loss of two and a half hours occurred that night. And so did a serious injury to Lisa’s back. The “great pulling” that took her upwards jerked her with such force that the next day she could hardly walk. The pain continued getting worse, and when she consulted her doctor, she was told that the spinal damage could prove permanent. In this one instance, at least, the event was more than virtual reality.
