In July 2011 a man named Shaun got in touch with me via Richplanet.net about an experience which happened to him when he was only 5 years old. He feels that this experience may be linked with ET contact.
Shaun has always been very guarded about sharing his story but after watching my interview on Richard Hall’s Starship chat show he realised that others had experienced similar things so contacted me.
Incident Details
It was the summer of 1975 and Shaun had recently moved to Cwmbran with his parents.
One night he was awoken from his sleep by a tingling vibration, a low humming sound and a white glowing light coming from outside his bedroom window. This light grew brighter until it blinded him and he had to close his eyes. A moment later the light seemed to vanish and darkness returned to the room.
When he re-opened his eyes he could see a soft glowing shape a bit taller than his own height standing at the foot of the bed. He could not understand what it was but it felt to him like it was made out of energy which was alive.
At this point Shaun became terrified and pulled his bed covers up over himself to hide away. A moment later he felt a weight pressing down on his lower legs. At this point he was extremely shocked and lay there very still. This was the last thing that he remembers taking place. The next thing he knew he was waking up in the morning.
Incident Analysis
There are signs here that Shaun may have experienced a visitation and was possibly also abducted. Contact experiences often start with a glowing light being seen outside the window, this may well have been from a craft in the vicinity. Also the vibrations he was feeling have been spoken of on many occasions, and are another common sign.
Many abductions are preceded by the appearance of one or more beings near to the experiencer, and this may be what Shaun saw at the base of his bed. Glowing entities like the one he describes have been seen before, and are sometimes referred to as “light beings”. If it was a visitation by an ET, it may not necessarily have actually looked like this, it could have just been manifesting in that way. The fact that after feeling the weight on his legs he appeared to fall off to sleep despite being completely terrified is another commonly reported aspect, the ETs appear to possess this ability. It is probably done to stop the experiencer from struggling against what is taking place.
The fact that Shaun pulled the bed covers over his head shows that he was not paralyzed at the time, so was not undergoing sleep paralysis. However there is another condition known as hypnogogia where things such as those Shaun mentioned can be experienced, at present this cannot be fully ruled out.
Shaun has no other memories of what went on. There is the possibility that he was taken but was unconscious throughout, or that the memories of the experience have been wiped from his mind, as is often the case. If Shaun decides to be hypnotically regressed these memories could be unlocked and he may find out more about what took place.
