According to French, “What you’ve got there are people who are interpreting various things in their lives, that they can’t explain, as being down to alien abduction.”
There are a lot of theories when it comes to extraterrestrials and a lot of people who claim they’ve been abducted. researchers are working on finding out if these individuals have experienced abuse in their childhood, as it could be a correlation between the two.
Also, sleep paralysis might also play an important part for those who claim they’ve been abducted by aliens. Sleep paralysis is being conscious but unable to move, and it feels like a temporary loss of muscle control. It can happen before falling asleep or during the night.
It’s definitely a very scary experience, as you’re awake and aware of everything that happens around you, but you’re unable to move. Those who experience sleep paralysis also tend to have hallucinations, such as seeing ghosts, demons, aliens, and other such frightening creatures.
