THE DEMON-HAUNTED WORLD
exchange for this unknown . . . The lack of physical evidence
is, I fully agree, most frustrating for both victims and researchers.
Unfortunately, the retrieval of such evidence is made
extremely difficult by the manner in which the victims are
abducted. Often I am removed either in my nightgown (which
is later removed) or already naked. This condition makes it
quite impossible to hide a camera ... I have awakened with
deep gashes, puncture wounds, scooped out tissue, eye damage,
bleeding from the nose and ears, burns, and finger marks
and bruises which persist for days after the event. I have had all
of these examined by qualified physicians but none have been
satisfactorily explained. I am not into self-mutilation; these are
not stigmata . . . Please be aware that the majority of abductees
claim to have had no interest in UFOs previously (I am
one), have no history of childhood abuses (I am one), have no
desire for publicity or notoriety (I am one), and, in fact, have
gone to great lengths to avoid acknowledging any involvement
whatsoever, assuming he or she is experiencing a nervous
breakdown or other psychological disorder (I am one). Agreed,
there are many self-proclaimed abductees (and contactees) who
seek out publicity for monetary gain or to satisfy a need for
attention. I would be the last to deny these people exist. What I
do deny is that ALL abductees are imagining or falsifying these
events to satisfy their own personal agendas.
• UFOs don't exist. I think that requires an external energy
source, and this doesn't exist ... I have spoken with Jesus.
• The commentary on the Parade magazine is very destructive,
and it enjoys scaring society, I beg you to think more openly
because our intelligent beings from outer spaces do exist and
they are our creators ... I too was an abductee. To be honest,
these dear beings have done me more good than bad. They
have saved my life . . . The trouble with Earth beings is that
they want proof, proof, and proof!
• In the Bible it talks about terrestrial and celestial bodies. This is
not to say that God is out for sexual abuse on people or that
we're crazy.
• I have been strongly telepathic for twenty-seven years now. I
do not receive - I transmit . . . Waves are coming from outer
