When most people think of "alien abductions", they think of being sucked up into a UFO through a beam of light and being experiemented on द्वारा strange, gray humanoids with big, black eyes. If आप say that you're an "abuction victim", people often brush it off, laugh, या think you're crazy.

But what if it happens to you?

Many people in America and throughout the world share similar stories of being taken in the night and brought on ships. They are tested physically, mentally, and emotionally. The grays almost always communicate with them telepathically. There is a consistent feeling of being secure with one of these beings in particular, often an opposite-sex one.

What I've experienced since the beginning of my teenage years doesn't fit the विवरण of typical abduction accounts. In fact, I don't even remember them happening. The following I am about to disclose I believe are events that most people brush off as strange happenings, and don't think any और into it. But I still wonder...

About two years ago, I would be awakened in the middle of the night. Not द्वारा noise, but द्वारा the feeling of something small stepping across my bed. I have a pet rabbit in my room, so I thought she might have escaped from her cage and hopped on my बिस्तर as she often did. But I went over to her cage the first few times, and she was always there sleeping! This happened for two winters consistently, in 2008 and 2009, almost every night. I'd turn on the light, sit up in bed, and I'd still feel some invisible being walking on my bed. My parents attributed it to mice. We searched consistently, set up traps (which I felt terrible about), but we never caught one. The weird thing is, it was walking I felt. Not crawling as small creatures do. And I would sleep on my futon, फ़ुटन बिस्तर once in a while when it bothered me, but I felt it there, too.

As I'm sitting here लेखन this, I'm a little freaked out because my bedroom is pretty dark. I always keep my blinds closed. I'm scared of leaving them open. My mom complains about it constantly. During the day, I've been opening my blinds while I'm at school so my rabbit and gerbils can get some sunlight. But never at night. Is it because strange lights have shone through my window, या that I've seen crafts outside on dark nights? Is that why I'm so scared? My दिल is racing, although I don't think I should attribute it to my enthusiasm for लेखन this time.

I often wake up with unexplainable bruises, scrapes या pains. When I'm in the शावर, शॉवर या getting dressed in the morning, I'll notice them. Once, I discovered a distinctly triangle-shaped bruise on my leg. At the same time, I found two small scrapes parallel to each other on my upper thigh. I had a vague memory of being poked with a two-bladed scalpel in that area, but that was it. Did the aliens test on me the night before? The areas that I wake up experiencing pain in are...well, areas I don't think it would be appropriate to discuss it here. Once, I even woke up with a massive nosebleed.

I read the book "Communion" over the summer. I always kept that book turned over so I couldn't see the cover. The cover has a picture of an alien gray on it, and I don't know why, but it scares me. It's hard for me to look at pictures of aliens. I'm also fascinated with learning about aliens, alien abductions in particular.

I have wild, vivid dreams. They are sometimes apocolyptic. I often wake up in a cold sweat because they scare me so much. This happens when I have nightmares about UFO's and aliens. I often wake up exhausted in the morning, not all mornings, but quite a few. It was as if I had been up through part of the night, although I recalled sleeping through all of it. I used to wake up at बिना सोचे समझे times of the night, often at the same time, like 3:00 am. This hasn't happened recently, however.

Recently, things have been physically removed from me. I don't know if I did this during the night, but my mom laughs at me for suspecting otherwise. First, I wore a ponytail to bed. The अगला morning, my hair was free and I found the band around my wrist. I'm pretty sure I didn't do this. A few nights ago, I wore my retainer to bed. When I was in the शावर, शॉवर the अगला morning, I realized that it wasn't in my mouth and I didn't remove it before I got in the शावर, शॉवर like I normally do. It was on my nightstand. Again, I don't know why I would do this.

I don't know what to think. But I'd rather be aware if something like this was going on, rather than try to stay oblivious. Let me know if any of these things have happened to आप या someone आप know in the comments. If so, आप are not alone.
