Here's some material to pitch in to the discussion on the possible relationship
|
|
between abductions and paranormal phenomenon. When the proceedings of the
|
|
Boston conference emerge you will find a short paper by myself titled:
|
|
Abductions:the Paranormal connection."
|
|
For now I will simply list some quotes for people to track down the fuller
|
|
references.
|
|
1. "Too many witnesses related occurrences more often identified with
|
|
parapsychology than Ufology, yet these same witnesses described abductions as
|
|
valid as any others." Bullard, T.E. (1987). "UFO Abductions:The Measure of a
|
|
Mystery." Washington. Fund for UFO Research. Page 152.
|
|
2. "..the fact is that many people who have been abducted do subsequently
|
|
have psychic and sometimes psychokinetic ability...In many instances it seems
|
|
to have preceded the UFO sightings but also seems to have been much enhanced
|
|
afterwards." Dr James Harder in Fuller, C.G. et al (1980). "Proceedings of the
|
|
First International UFO Congress." New York. Warner. Page 354.
|
|
3. "I believe this superior imagery ability, coupled with the high ESP scores
|
|
in other experiments, and the very clear incidence of paranormal experiences in
|
|
abductees' lives, will prove to be the key to the entire mystery, for these
|
|
seem to be the only things that make them in any way different from evryone
|
|
else..." Randles, J. (1988). "Abduction." London. Robert Hale. Page 208.
|
|
4. "Another feature which this and many other cases turned up was that the
|
|
witnesses who had experienced abductions had an incredible history of what they
|
|
believed to be psychic phenomena. This is usually so extensive and important
|
|
that this may be no mere coincidence but a crucial clue to the understanding of
|
|
why they subsequently went through an abduction." Randles, J. (1988.)
|
|
International UFO Reporter. Jan/Feb. Page 7.
|
|
5. "They (abductees KB) tend to be people with either a long history of
|
|
possessing psychic abilities, or they seem to develop psychic abilities as a
|
|
result of their experiences." Rogo, D.S. (1980.) "UFO Abductions." New York.
|
|
Signet. Page 15.
|
|
These quotes will give you some material to follow up.
|
|
In private discussions with Jenny Randles, from the UK, she confirms my
|
|
Australian findings ( see the paper in the International UFO Reporter May/June
|
|
1990 titled: "Australian abductions:an Update.") that almost all abductees
|
|
reveal a high incidence of self reported paranormal events-far higher than the
|
|
average population reports.
|
|
I understand that Budd Hopkins has also found, but refuses to publish details
|
|
of, the same thing. It is therefore a pity if MUFON does have a policy as
|
|
stated. I suspect we need to broaden out interest in abductions to cross-
|
|
reference with parnaormal events. So, when you next interview an abductee ask
|
|
them about paranormal events in their lives, i.e poltergeists, telepathy,
|
|
precognitive visions, out of body experiences, automatic writing, seeing
|
|
ghosts, hearing voices etc. Then, most importantly publish your results!
