                          PARANORMAL ACTIVITY AND IT'S
                  RELATIONSHIP TO THE UFO ABDUCTION PHENOMENON
                                       BY
                               William S. English

    INTRODUCTION:

      For  many  years,   UFOs,  or Unidentified Flying  Objects  and  their
    research  have  been classed among the fringe elements of  our  society.
    Looked upon as being somewhat of a cult and most certainly inhabited  by
    screwballs and nut-cases.

      Those  who have had Abduction experiences suffer trauma not only  from
    the  experience,  which in many cases is not remembered on  a  conscious
    level, but also from the trauma of being ridiculed by their peers.

      To  often,  the circumstances surrounding a legitimate Abduction  case
    are  clouded with extraneous issues that seem to complicate the  initial
    issue of abduction by a possible Alien life form.  Additionally the very
    nature  of  those  issues  often cloud the judgement of  even  the  most
    experienced  investigator of the UFO Phenomenon.  This is due largely in
    part because of the Investigator's desire to find empirical evidence  to
    support the existence of UFOs.

      As  a result of this,  over the past twenty years the majority of  UFO
    Investigators have totally ignored another,  and perhaps most  important
    aspect of UFOlogy.  The possible connection of Paranormal experiences to
    UFO abductions.

      Over  the  years  we  have equated  Paranormal  Activities,   such  as
    channeling,  psycho-kinetics,  manifestations of odd noises,  telepathy,
    and a host of other things associated with it, as being totally separate
    from  UFO  Investigations.   However  a  recent  review  of  files   and
    information  for  the past twenty years has shown a possible  connection
    between the two.

      Most notably this connection seems to be associated with the Abduction
    Phenomenon as shown by Doctor Leo Sprinkle in his work as early as 1963.

      In an article written by Dr. Sprinkle which appeared in "Psychotherapy
    in Private Practice" Vol.6(3) 1988, he had this to say;

      ".......in  our  contemporary  society,  those  persons  who  describe
    paranormal/psychic/spiritual  crises,  or emotional trauma from memories
    of  possible  past  lives,  often are faced with scoffing  or  skeptical
    reactions --  not only from their friends and relatives,  but  sometimes
    from professional persons, including psychotherapists.

      And,   if a person describes a UFO experience (including abduction  by
    alien  beings,  out of body experience,  near death experience,   bodily
    marks  from  a  medical examination,  genital  examination,   past  life
    memories,    planetary   visions,   automatic  writing   or   telepathic
    communication,  and a message or mission for Humankind, etc.),  then the
    psychological  resistance  of  the  psychotherapist,   as  well  as  the
    emotional trauma of the person,  can be an important factor --  not only
    in  the  process  of  psychotherapy,  but in the  questions  of  whether
    services are provided to that person!

      The complex and controversial claims of UFO abductees/contactees are a
    background  for  the  general  question:   Based  on  the  processes  of
    psychotherapy, what do we know about UFO experiences?"

      In  a recent conversation with Dr.Sprinkle I asked him  if  paranormal
    activity was common among those people who may have had possible contact
    with UFOs, and if so why hadn't we heard more about this..?

      Dr.  Sprinkle's reply was surprising as he went on to say, "Yes, it is
    extremely  common.   In  fact  I have been  researching  the  Paranormal
    question  since  1963   and was asked by the Lorenzens  (Jim  and  Coral
    Lorenzen of APRO) to write a chapter for a book they were writing in the
    mid 70's that dealt with this very issue."

      Interestingly enough,  Dr.  Sprinkle,  for many years seemed to be the
    only  professional  Psychologist who even adhered to the idea that  UFOs
    were possibly real. Having established a reputation in his field for his
    regressive  hypnosis  sessions  with  several of  the  more  modern  day
    abduction reports Dr.  Sprinkle has become the foremost authority on the
    subject of Abductions.

      In  the  same  article  he  went  on  to  express  several   tentative
    viewpoints:

     1.) I believe that `flying saucers' (UFOs) exist.

     2.) I believe that I cannot prove to anyone that UFOs exist.

     3.) I believe that UFO research is always frustrating, often fearful,
         sometimes fun.

     4.) I believe that psychotherapeutic services and social support for
         UFO Experiencers are helpful to them in accepting the reality of
         these experiences and in understanding of the silliness and the
         significance of these experiences.

     5.) I believe that there are many skills that can be useful to the
         psychotherapist who works with UFO Experiencers, but the main
         attributes are courage, curiosity, and compassion.

     6.) I appreciate the willingness of UFO Experiencers to share their
         information, and the willingness of professional colleagues to
         assist UFO Experiencers.

      Perhaps,   someday,  UFO research can lead to results which could test
    the hypothesis that UFO activity is an educational program.

      This  last  remark seemed somewhat new age'ish on  the  Good  Doctor's
    part,  but in light of the recent revelation of a few years ago that  he
    himself had apparently been abducted as a child, it is understandable.

      In some cases we as investigators have to ask the question  concerning
    the types of encounters that many abductees experience.  In so doing the
    questions  will elicit some type of answer or reaction.  Bearing in mind
    it  is often difficult for the investigator,  or for that  matter,   the
    psychotherapist  to  either  understand or accept the answers  they  are
    given.

      This  comes not from a desire to deny the subject's experiences,   but
    more   form   the  point  of  view,   that  it  is  difficult  for   the
    Investigator/Psychotherapist  to  accept the answer.  In many cases  the
    subject     will    present    an    answer    unacceptable    to    the
    Investigator/Psychotherapist.   This seems to be the case with regard to
    paranormal activity which may accompany such an encounter.

      Throughout  the several years Dr.  Sprinkle has devoted his efforts to
    finding  the answers to this phenomenon,  he has put forth the following
    hypothesis:

      Thesis 1.

      There  is sufficient evidence to accept the hypothesis that  many  UFO
    witnesses  have experienced encounters with space craft that are piloted
    or  controlled by intelligent alien beings (e.g.,  Hynek,   1972;Jacobs,
    1975; Randles, 1983; Rutledge, 1981; Smith, 1987).

      Thesis 2.

      There  is sufficient evidence to accept the hypothesis that  many  UFO
    witnesses  have experienced abductions and examination by UFO occupants,
    including  bodily,   psychological,  and/or sexual  examinations  (e.g.,
    Fowler,  1979,  1982;  Fuller, 1966;  Hopkins,  1981,  1987;  Lorenzen &
    Lorenzen, 1967, 1976, 1977; Sprinkle, 1979, 1981; Strieber, 1987).

      Thesis 3.

      There  is  sufficient evidence to accept the hypothesis that most  UFO
    witnesses are normal in their psychological functioning (e.g., Bloecher,
    Clamar,  & Hopkins, 1985; Keul & Phillips, 1986; Parnell, 1987; Schwarz,
    1983; Sprinkle, 1976b, 1979a).

      Thesis 4.

      There  is  sufficient evidence to accept the  hypothesis  the  psychic
    phenomena, including "channeled" communications, are associated with UFO
    encounters; further, there is emerging evidence that UFO contactees view
    themselves  as changing from "planetary persons"  to  "cosmic  citizens"
    (e.g.,  Davis,  1985; Kannenberg, 1982, 1986; Kinder, 1987;  Montgomery,
    1985; Puharich, 1974; Sprinkle, 1981; Steiger & Steiger, 1981).

      Remembering the previously mentioned hypothesis, let us review certain
    facts;

      "In  a majority of cases the contactees/victims are initially  unaware
    of their contact experience on a conscious level. They have subliminated
    their experiences to a subconscious level."

      We  know  this is possible due to findings from victims  of  childhood
    sexual  assaults  and  in many cases rape victims,  and in  some  cases,
    victims of violent crime or accidents. As an act of mental self-defense,
    the  incident  or incidents are forcefully  forgotten,   either  through
    external influences (i.e.,  programming on the part of the abductors) or
    through  the  psychological processes that come into play  to  create  a
    mental feeling of security.

      "Awareness  of  the contact experience can,  and often  times  remains
    dormant  until  such  time  as  an  incident/phase/word  or   experience
    triggers  the memory,  and starts the process of bringing the memory  to
    the conscious level."

      At  this  point  we now begin to see the manifestation  of  paranormal
    activity. In many cases the contactee/victim begins to feel a feeling of
    un-rightness,  i.e., unexplainable fear, paranoia, panic attacks etc. In
    other cases the paranormal activity will manifest itself in other  ways,
    such as;

     Psycho-kinetic Activity (Poltergeist)

      Manifestation of visual phenomena (Green fireballs,  visions of ghost,
    physical assaults upon the victim or members of the victims  household.)
    The hearing of ghostly high pitched voices, screaming warnings that only
    the victim can hear.

     Telepathy and premonitions.

      At  the  same  time  we  must enquire as  to  the  validity  of  these
    manifestations. A case in point...

      A  college educated male,  approximately 30  years of age  recalled  a
    series of paranormal incidents that began at the age of twenty years and
    resulted ultimately in the discovery that he was in fact an abductee  at
    the age of four years.

      ".....I was twenty.  I was living in Jamestown, California at the time
    with three other young people in an old house outside of town. One night
    I returned to my bedroom after getting up to use the bathroom.  I turned
    off the light, got in my bed and laid on my left side. As soon as I laid
    down I "knew" there was something in the room with me. I could "feel" it
    thinking.   I  immediately became aware of something moving to  me  from
    across  the room and it stood on the foam pad  right in front of my face
    and  made  a depression there that my hands,  which were up by  my  face
    started to roll into. Then suddenly there was a weight on top of my body
    that  pushed  me down through the support of my pad into the  floor  and
    held  me  there paralysed.  There also was a load sound in  my  upturned
    right  ear which sounded as though something were yelling or shouting or
    exhaling right against my ear. It was one long sound though there was no
    variation in timbre, frequency, or pitch and it continued for the entire
    time that I could not move."

      He  went on to say that he slept for a year or two afterwards  with  a
    light on in his room or shining into his room from another room.

      He continued. "....a few days before I moved out of that place in fear
    of whatever it was that happened, I was watching T.V. in the living room
    in broad daylight when I felt as if something were  touching the insides
    of  my  thighs,  like there was something invisible trying to push  them
    apart.  I  now do not believe that there was actually something there at
    the  moment,  but that it was a strong subliminal memory of having  been
    touched  there.   Also when I was moving back down to college  I  had  a
    similar  sensation  across my upper abdomen while I was driving  a  car.
    That wasn't the end of my experiences.  It followed me to where I  moved
    and  ten months later I had a UFO sighting over Modesto,  California  at
    very  close  range.  Which by the way I didn't associate with  my  prior
    experiences.  There was also a vivid "dream"  I  had where something had
    gone into my consciousness, made me feel euphoric, and made my life pass
    before  my  eyes while they re-experienced it with me as  if  they  were
    looking  for something (This was also associated with a sighting in  the
    dream)   They also did something to the back of my head.  The memory  of
    these  things persisted in bothering me for years.  At the time I  moved
    away  from  the  rural areas thinking that these things would  stop.   I
    didn't know what was happening to me. I began having panic attacks after
    the one experience in Jamestown and I had never had them before.  All of
    this  was  quite  unsettling and I couldn't figure out why  when  I  was
    having one of the best times of my life that something so strange  would
    start plaguing me."

      The  incidents  that happened to this subject are most certainly of  a
    paranormal nature, and fall classically into that category. However, let
    us  examine  several  possibilities  we as  UFO  investigators  seem  to
    overlook.

      As  of yet,  science has not been able to adequately explain the cause
    of  Paranormal  activity.  Science has defined  paranormal  activity  as
    something laying outside of the realm of the normal acceptable standards
    that have been established for human behavior. Yet at the same time they
    are  just now,  within the last one hundred years,  beginning to  define
    that human behavior and the accompanying dysfunctions inherent in it.

      Assuming  for the moment paranormal activity is in fact real  in  some
    form  or  another,  let us examine further it's  relationship  with  the
    UFO/Abductee/Contactee Phenomena.

      In  most cases paranormal activity and abilities are existent to  some
    degree in all of us.  Whether it be the ability to look briefly into the
    future  (DejaVu),  to detect the loss of a loved one before being  told,
    telepathy (such as in twins),  psycho-kinesis, etc. . .. However,  these
    abilities  lay  dormant until something,  either an event or  a  memory,
    triggers the ability.  In many cases this particular event is the result
    of  a trauma,  or for that matter,  the incident that is triggered was a
    trauma in itself.

      One particular point that we must remember is the human mind and brain
    is the most complex and even today unknown aspect of the Human-being. We
    can  chart  the  Brain,   and  even have a fair idea  as  to  what  each
    particular  area within the brain will control.  But!  We are unable  to
    delve  deeper into it to look at the area most commonly referred  to  as
    the soul.  That part which makes up our personalities,  our abilities to
    think  and discern information.  Control emotions,  or for that  matter,
    what  creates those emotions which separate us from the lower orders  of
    the  animal  kingdom.  In short,  we don't fully know what  exactly  the
    abilities are within the human animal.

      An  interesting point which should be considered is,   most  biologist
    will  tell  you  the brain capacity of the lower orders  of  the  animal
    kingdom  reflect  the full mental ability of  those  animals,    barring
    mental  retardation  or  defects.  Yet a human brain,  followed  by  the
    dolphin,   is one of the largest,  if not the largest brain  within  the
    mammalian chain.  And we do not use it to it's fullest capacity. This is
    odd  since development on an evolutionary scale theoretically  says  all
    life  forms physically develop to their fullest capabilities.   If  this
    holds true,  then why hasn't humankind? Or is there the possibility that
    we  did,   and then through some cataclysmic occurrences we  lost  those
    abilities..?

      Having set the stage somewhat,  and seeing that the human brain or the
    human  animal is capable of far more than many of us give credit to  it,
    lets us now examine closely the relationship between Paranormal Activity
    and UFO contacts.

      Accepting the possibilities previously stated, we as human-beings have
    created  in  our minds and in our a world a certain amount of  stability
    based upon what we consider to be incontrovertible facts.  But I now ask
    the question;  "What if those facts we have established are found to  be
    falsehoods?"   This creates an interesting dilemma....How would we  cope
    with  such  a  revelation?  I  present the  following  theory  for  your
    consideration...

      Theorem....

      Throughout  the span of recorded history,  the human animal has  given
    basic  and  simple  explanations to those things  we  are  incapable  of
    understanding.  We have placed these strange occurrences into categories
    we  are comfortable with.  Such things as Religion to explain  celestial
    beings  (angels),  and beings horrible and evil (demons).  Those  things
    defying  our  ability  to explain technologically  or  logically  became
    things  of  magic and Witchcraft.  As humankind progressed  through  the
    sciences and technology,  what was once within the realm of religion and
    magic  went into the realm of science and logic,  and this is where  our
    development stands.

      Suddenly  there  comes  into our existence something which  cannot  be
    placed  within  the  normal  classifications  we  have  established  for
    ourselves.   Since we no longer for the most part believe in magic,   we
    attempt to place it within the realm of science.  Yet when we are unable
    to give logical explanations through science,  it then falls within  the
    realm of magic, or the paranormal, which falls outside of both magic and
    the  sciences.   It is at this point the primal instincts of  the  human
    animal  come  into  play,   and at the same  time  something  even  more
    astounding.   The human brain's ability to protect itself from something
    that does not compute or work within it's ability to assimilate.  Unlike
    a  computer however,  it reprograms itself to continue functioning on  a
    relatively  normal  level until such time as  more  information  becomes
    available to help it assimilate the previously blanked out data. At this
    point  some unusual occurrences take place causing the brain to  trigger
    the previously blanked memories and bringing them forward from the  sub-
    conscious  into  the  conscious  area of the mind,  or  Id.   With  this
    occurrence  comes increased metal activity that creates an  increase  in
    Neuro-electrical  activity within the brain itself,  thereby  increasing
    the  brain's natural abilities to manipulate it's  physical  surrounding
    without physical intervention..

      This theorem may not be as far fetched as it may sound.  We know  that
    bio-electrical activity is one of the motivating factors which makes the
    human body animate, function, and live. We also know for example that in
    the  event  of injury to either the brain or the Neuro-systems  (nervous
    system) certain parts of the human body cease to function.

      Taking  it  a  step  further,  we currently  are  able  to  manipulate
    invisible  electrical forces in the form of Radio and television  waves,
    which transmit pictures, turn motors, and make possible such innovations
    as  the  modern  home computer.  Therefore the idea of the  human  brain
    creating  such amounts of electrical activity as to be able  to  control
    and effect it's surrounding environment is not far fetched at all.

      Now  you ask the question;  "What has this to do with UFO Abductees  &
    Contactees?

      Simply put, we must first consider two possibilities.  The first being
    we have accepted that UFOs and Aliens do exist, and therefore based upon
    the  available  evidence human-beings are being contacted  and/or  being
    forcefully abducted for whatever purposes.

      Because  of the trauma caused these Abductees/Contactees their  brains
    have  shut down in order to be able to assimilate the data necessary  to
    cope  with this incident in their lives.  In many cases these  incidents
    are  on-going  occurrences  which  would require  some  sort  of  mental
    manipulation  on  the  part of the abductors to keep  control  of  their
    subject.   Because  of the ingrained human survival instinct  the  human
    brain  begins to increase it's bio-electrical activity  thereby  causing
    paranormal  activity in it's surrounding vicinity.  whether it  manifest
    itself as uncommonly clear memories that cause the abductee/contactee to
    relive  the  physical sensations that they were subjected to during  the
    course  of  their abduction,  or other physical manipulations  in  their
    surroundings i.e..poltergeist, telepathy, psycho-kinesis..

      The  second possibility we must consider is the physical  modification
    or  manipulation  of  the  human  brain on the  part  of  the  abductors
    i.e..implants,   bio-genetic  engineering or modifications etc..We  know
    that it is possible to control the human mind or at least certain  areas
    of  the  brain  that will cause pleasure and pain,   anger  and  apathy.
    Therefore why is it not possible for a possibly more advance culture  to
    have  carried  this  further and be able to control all aspects  of  the
    brain?  Making possible such things as channeling (communications)   and
    all of the previously mentioned paranormal phenomena.

      A  recent review of case studies that date back as far as the late  to
    middle  fifties  has shown that in almost all instances where  a  person
    reports  abduction  or contact in some form or another there  is  almost
    always paranormal activity reported.

      Currently  there  are  certain individuals within  the  UFO/paranormal
    fields  who have shown and uncanny ability to predict where and  when  a
    UFO  sighting  or flap is about to occur.   Increased  E.S.P  abilities,
    etc...In  almost all cases it has been shown that they are abductees  or
    contactees..

    CONCLUSIONS

      Contrary  to popular belief,  it is apparent that Paranormal  Activity
    and UFO related Activity are NOT separate issues, but rather, are one in
    the same.  Both being an integral part of the other,  and both playing a
    significant role in the lives of the Abductees/Contactees.

      It  is  apparent that we as Investigators and Psychotherapist  can  no
    longer  ignore the fact that Paranormal activity does occur in some form
    or another in relationship to the UFO/Abduction/Contact Phenomena.

      We  as  Investigators and Psychotherapeutic  professionals  must  come
    together  to  establish  criteria  in which  to  investigate  and  treat
    Abduction/Contact  trauma  victims,  bearing in mind that  these  people
    require  a  different  type of treatment and  inter-action  between  the
    investigator, psychotherapist, and mental health professional.

      The  psychotherapeutic profession must help establish  the  acceptance
    within  the  mental  health  professions that there is  indeed  a  whole
    phenomena  in  existence  that does in fact deal with  UFO  contact  and
    abduction,   and  that new methods are required to treat and  deal  with
    these unfortunates.  Most importantly they must also be taught to accept
    the  fact that whenever a victim of such occurrences comes to  them  for
    professional help,  they are NOT crazy,  but in fact show be in the same
    classification as that of sexual abuse, and violent crime victims.

      We  as Investigators must educate ourselves for a better understanding
    of the trauma that victims of Abduction undergo, and become aware of the
    various aspects of Paranormal activity that in fact do exist..
