Introduction
I first met “Emily” at Into The Unknown 4 UFO conference on Saturday 20th August 2011. I was one of the speakers at the conference and gave a talk on the subject of ET contact.
Towards the end of the day Emily approached me and let me know of some of her experiences. I kept in touch and she provided full details via E-Mail soon afterwards. This report covers her various experiences, which have taken place since an early age.
Early Feelings
When she was young, Emily remembers always being afraid of the dark, and found it hard to go to sleep. There was always a sense of something “not quite right” in her house. She used to feel that the house was haunted. She also remembers having vivid recurring nightmares on many occasions. From the age of 4 she remembers having the feeling that she was different in some way.
While these things could be just put down to normal childhood fears and imaginations, they could also be interpreted as early signs that she was experiencing ET contact. Contactees often get a fear of the dark and of going to bed as they are subconsciously aware that this is when the ETs come for them. The feeling of a presence or of being observed is also extremely common, and probably occurs because the contactee is aware they are under ongoing observation by the beings in contact with them. Often contact experiences are wiped from the conscious mind of the individual, but memories come back in the form of nightmares or flashbacks. Could Emily’s recurring dreams have been related to this?
Nosebleeds
She would often suffer from heavy nosebleeds which would suddenly start and carry on for about an hour. These lasted until she was 13 years old. In the end her mother took her to the doctors to have the skin in her nose cauterised.
These incidents could have just been down to medical reasons, especially as they seemed to occur much less often after her visit to the doctors. However it should be noted that nosebleeds are another common side effect of contact experiences. Emily still gets them occasionally and also suffers from sinus problems.
Visitations
From about the age of 7 Emily remembers numerous occasions where she saw beings at the window of her room. She would be lying down on the bed still awake. The curtains would be closed like normal. Then suddenly the curtains and window would open without warning. Outside the window staring in at her would be several figures. These figures would always be in shadow and just silhouettes, she did not see their faces clearly. She does not remember ever seeing a craft or being taken from her room.
There were also occasions where a single figure would appear in her room alongside her bed. It would reach down and touch her on the arm. She also has a memory of a small red light on her arm. As far as she remembers this did not happen as often as the figures outside the window, but still happened more than once.
Around this same time she also remembers having several dreams of a different planet which had two moons that were visible even in daylight.
There is a good possibility that these experiences were numerous ET visitations, perhaps preceding abduction experiences which have been blocked out. The ETs often appear in the manner Emily speaks of, either staring in through the window or actually entering the room and standing alongside the bed. This has been reported on many occasions. It is interesting that the curtains and window opened by themselves. If these were visitation experiences then this suggests the ETs manipulated these objects using telekinesis.
Many contactees have spoken of the ETs touching them on the arm or head. This usually causes the individual to black out, and although Emily does not remember this taking place, this may well have occurred. The small red light she remembers seeing on her arm suggests that on one or more occasions the ET alongside her bed used an instrument of some kind on her.
The visions or dreams of the other planet may have been unrelated. However contactees are sometimes shown visions of other worlds, and it is possible that this was the ETs showing Emily their home world or another place for whatever reason. It is unlikely that she was actually taken there and saw this first hand.
If Emily agrees to a regression, we may discover more about what took place during these incidents.
The Arm
One night Emily had to get up to use the bathroom. The bathroom used to be at the end of a long corridor, which she used to hate walking along at night. Her parents were still up but were in the lounge with the door closed. Her sister was asleep in her own room. Near to the lounge door there was a cubbyhole that her parents used to store things in.
She quickly made her way along the corridor into the bathroom. She left the bathroom door open. While she was washing her hands she looked up and had a view along the corridor through the open doorway. Suddenly she saw what looked like a brown leathery arm suddenly jut out from the cubby hole. It then went back in out of sight.
Emily was in shock at what she had just seen and it did not immediately sink in. She quickly made her way back to her room and went off to sleep. However she still remembers the incident clearly as it frightened her quite a bit.
Could this have been the arm of an ET? While contactees have described seeing Greys creeping around their home on numerous occasions and peering out from behind things, it does seem unlikely that one would be in the cubby hole and put its arm out before withdrawing it. Perhaps this was not an ET at all but a ghostly apparition of some kind. Or could it have just been shadows in the dark, perhaps cast by an object suddenly falling, combined with her nerves at the time?
Collision With An Entity
On another night she was sharing a bedroom with her sister. Once again she got up to use the bathroom. It was very dark and she did not put the lights on. When she re-entered the bedroom she bumped into someone in the dark. She thought it was her sister who had got up out of bed. She exclaimed “You really scared me!” A moment later her sister replied “Pardon?” She was in her own bed! Emily was shocked and realised that there had been someone else in the room, someone who had now vanished.
As it was dark it is possible that there was an ET standing in the room which Emily bumped into on her return. But as with the arm incident, there is also the possibility that it was something else manifesting itself. Whatever it was, it had appeared solid, and had then inexplicably gone.
Unexplained Bruises
Ever since her childhood right to present day Emily sometimes finds unusual bruises on her legs when she wakes up in the morning. She rarely has any idea where they have come from. Could these be markings from repeated contact experiences? As the bruises do not look artificial in nature they may just be natural. Perhaps she bruises easily and bumps her legs against the bed or surroundings during her sleep. However the idea that they are related to contact cannot be put out of the question.
I have asked Emily to take a photograph of any bruises or other markings she finds going forward. If she sends any photos to me they will be added to this part of the report.
Other Signs
Ever since her childhood Emily has suffered from sudden tiredness. She has no idea why she should get this. It does not appear to be related to particular experiences, but as tiredness is another side effect of contact experiences it cannot be completely ignored.
In her younger years she also had a phobia of lifts. She is able to cope with them better now, but still feels uncomfortable in them and will usually take the stairs if possible. Contactees often report having this particular fear. It is likely that the feeling of ascending upwards reminds them of when they have been lifted up into a craft. The fact that Emily has this particular fear is another sign that she is a contactee.
Premonitions
In her teens Emily remembers having numerous dreams which seemed to come true soon afterwards. These were not always of significant events, sometimes they were just of random things taking place. One night she had a dream that a particular pupil at her school had their hair cut in a certain style. The following day when she saw this individual, they had just had their hair cut in the style she dreamed of.
When she was 18 she dreamed that there was a man who looked like Arthur Lowe standing next to the flats opposite her house. The following day she found out that Arthur Lowe had died.
While these dreams could be put down just to coincidences, many contactees report having psychic abilities, the most common of which is premonitions of future events. Did Emily develop this ability as a side effect of contact, or was this the reason why the ETs were interested in her to begin with?
Missing Time Incident
Around 1996 both Emily and her mother had a missing time experience which they have never been able to adequately explain. She was staying at her mother’s house. Her mother was sleeping in a room alongside her own, and they were chatting with each other through the wall. They started chatting about 9pm.
After a short while Emily checked the time again and it was now 11.30pm. Neither she or her mother could work out how that amount of time had gone by, they were certain they had not just lost track of time and spoken for two and a half hours. If Emily gets regressed we may explore this incident further and find out if anything unusual took place.
Paranormal Activity
In her twenties, Emily had moved into another house. Once again she felt that this house was haunted, and experienced paranormal activity on various occasions. She would often get the feeling that there was someone standing behind her watching her. Objects would sometimes move on their own - cups would fall, bags would crumple of their own accord. One night there was a loud crash from the kitchen followed by the sound of someone walking up the stairs. But when she checked there was no-one there.
This activity may have well been down to a ghost at the property, however I have mentioned it as contactees often experience paranormal activity in their proximity.
Nightmares
Around the same time as the paranormal activity in her home, Emily had numerous vivid nightmares in which she was pulled from her bed and out of the window. These could well have been brought on by memories of abduction experiences which were perhaps happening there, or had happened earlier in her life.
Ongoing Contact?
In more recent years Byrony has not experienced many strange incidents, so it is possible that contact has ceased (for now at least). However she still occasionally hears a sudden loud buzzing sound in her head. This tends to occur when she is lying in bed and just about to drop off to sleep.
She suffers from mild tinnitus, but says that this is completely different. Sometimes this is followed by the feeling of something causing her to pass out. Occasionally the buzzing is followed by a feeling of moving very fast along a tunnel. Sometimes she has woke back up at this point and seen strange floating lights in her room which then fade away.
Often she also senses the vibrations of someone walking across the bedroom beside her bed. She also sometimes feels that there is someone walking across her bed or lying down alongside her. These feelings are very un-nerving.
On occasion Emily has looked out into the garden and seen what she felt were figures standing there.
Grey Dream
In 2010 Emily dreamt that a Grey appeared in her bedroom and came and stood alongside the bed. She asked the being “You’ve come to take me haven’t you?” to which it responded “Yes”.
However Emily believes that this dream was down to the fact that she had looked into contact by then. She does not currently feel that it actually took place. But it does have similarities with some of her earlier experiences. Maybe after reading about ET contact this jogged her memory and she saw the being alongside her bed for what it really was.
Conclusion
Emily has had some very interesting experiences over the years. Although she has not reported seeing any UFOs, her earlier memories of visitations by beings, and the fact that she has experienced so many of the common signs of contact, lead me to believe that she may well be a contactee. I hope that she decides to go for a hypnotic regression later in the year as this may uncover lost memories and prove that she has experienced contact. If this does go ahead the results will be added to this report.
