Abducted?

[MrPlanetHugger]

I can't believe I'm saying this but here goes....over the last few months I have woken up during the night with a feeling that someone is looking at me. I never paid much attention to it and went back to sleep. About three months ago I was staying in a hotel in Wexford for a family funeral. Again I awoke with a sensation that someone was looking at me. As I looked over to the doorway I could see a silhouette/figure of a 3 to 4 foot something looking at me. It was like they wore peeping around the wall at me. As I raised my head and blinked to focus it was gone.

Then about four weeks ago it happened again. This time in my own bedroom. It was exactly the same sensation. But this time I could see the figure much more clearly as the light from the street lamp was shining through my hall door. It was much smaller this time approximately 3 feet but still could only see half of its body. As I lifted my head I could clearly see the outline and shape for at least a second or two and then it was gone. It was crazy. Both times. I felt completely at ease. I could not make out any facial features or any distinctive marks. it was just a shadow or silhouette. I have no idea what it could be. Just wanted to get it off my chest as if i said it to my partner id freak her out

Welcome to the site MrPlanetHugger, thank you for sharing your experience with us. First off I would like to say that there are many other causes for these type of experiences, like lucid dreams, hallucinations or varying degrees of sleep paralysis so I wouldn't write any of these causes off just yet.

If you are currently under any stress, pressure or worry, this can affect you sleep patterns and 'mess with your head' so to speak.

If your worried about this in any way I would recommend you see your GP first before investigating other avenues of possible cause.

On another note, did it occur around the same time, was there anyone else in the room with you(asleep), did you notice anything misplaced or moved the next day?

I have to say that it felt like i was wide awake....My partner was asleep beside me when it happened. Nothing was moved or out of place that i noticed. I dont feel stressed or anything like that. Both times it felt real. i understand what your saying about the mind playing tricks so ill do some reading on it. Iv been researching UFO's for many years so maybe its just my mind.

MrPlantHugger, have a look at lucid dreams and sleep paralysis as a starting point, as you said it could well be your interest in this area thats partly to blame for these experiences.

If you have any questions or other experiences let us know.

Hi MrPlanetHugger,

Have you tried talking to the person looking at you?

If it were aliens they probably wouldn't be looking, they would be taking you or communicating telepathically without a figure appearing.

If it were a lucid dream then it 'should' be more interesting then just someone standing there!

If it were sleep paralysis then you would know you were paralysed.

Could be something simple like a spirit either passing through or wanting to talk/communicate with you, now that it knows you don't freak the lid when they appear you might then start to be able to make out more details of the 'shadow'. If there is a next time just simply ask who are they and what do they want!

If it was malevolent or bad then it would have annoyed you by now so it should be a good experience.

As for involving your partner I wouldn't just yet until you know a bit more.

Have fun,

Graham

Thanks for posting & sharing the experience MrPlanetHugger
  sounds like whatever is going on is directly  associated to yourself not so much the locations, as you state you have experienced this in two separate properties  with an interval of time  in-between . Interesting  type of situation  .

Planthugger, all the information above will help make light of your experience and i hope you find the answer and be able to come back and inform us all.

On another note,
would you say the experience has anything to do with your family member's funeral!?
Im not looking for an answer to that question its just something for you to think about also.

What is abduction all about? Is it just related to genetic experiments. Do they want to see how far they can push us psychologically. Abduction is one of the most hostile events that could happen to a human being. If they are capable of disrespecting our freewill and natural rights to such a degree, then, their intentions towards us are not good. There is a clear connection between many abduction stories and all of these people cannot be making up the same story for no reason.

There are many reasons as to why so many people have the same story, one of the main ones would be Hollywood and the way they depict alien abductions as the greys and they only come at night when your in your room or bed alone, the odd time someone else is around.
Its very rare for Hollywood to show alien abductions in another environment apart from the night time bedroom setting. Its a major stereo-type which has been engrained into society as a whole, you say 'alien abduction' to pretty much anyone and this is the first image that pops into their head.

There are some other cases that can be explained by sleep paralysis which is also a known cause for a lot of the 'old hag' experiences people have. Sleep paralysis can happen anyone and can be quite frighting at first, it can be caused by stress among other things.

Then there are cases with children mainly that can be explained away by night terrors, I have a relative that has very realistic night terrors where even the family were freaked at some times. But they eventually grew out of it, a child's imagination or even an adult's imagination can create whatever the person is able to image which brings me to lucid dreams which can account for another portion of alien abduction stories.

Physical scaring and marks are also associated with alien abductions. It has been known and proven in sleep research that people are capable of going about a normal life at night time, sleep walking from cooking a full meal and eating it and then cleaning up to then just going back to bed and not remembering any of it. Also people have been known to fall out windows injury/cut themselves while sleep walking to wake up the next day with no memory of any of it just marks on their body.

Then you come to the cases that can't be explained by any of the above or other means with regards implants which I've never witnessed myself. These tend to be an odd one for me personally as I haven't been able to come up with a reasonable explanation to this bit just yet. There have been many theories but to date none of them stand out enough for me to draw a conclusion.

well strange and all as it sounds, i think i have been experiancing, wharever you wanna call it ''obductions'',  im from south west ireland and the first time it happened i was driving 4 years ago and there was a light above my car(maybe 7 foot across 5 foot high) and i stopped the car and stared at it until it moved away and (turned off), since then, at least once every few weeks. i wake to remember strange, extremely vivid dreams where i was talking to your stereotypical green tall things with black eyes-however the ones in my dreams have large blue eyes with pupils and are just bigger then normal eyes, there are also writings that i regularly see in these dreams and the people are adiment i remember the writing,but i can only remember two letters i was shown and found one on the internet its λ (a greek letter pronounced lamda) and the other is an odd shape i havnt found on the internet..hmmm cant wait to see peoples reactions to this post  , however i feel it nesecary to post to see if anyone else experiances this..
