The Terror That Comes in the Night
There
is a book by David J. Hufford called The Terror that Comes in the
Night. The sub-title of the book describes the contents: "An
Experience-Centered Study of Supernatural Assault Traditions." Dr.
Hufford is a sociologist and university professor. According to his
research about one sixth of the population experiences the phenomenon
described in his book yet almost no one talks about it. The experience
Hufford describes is similar to what has become known in our culture as
the "alien abduction" phenomenon, yet differing in some aspects.
According to a Roper Poll done in 1992 at least two percent of the adult
population in the United States has experienced what they call "being
abducted." It is difficult to get an exact number since it is believed
that many people completely repress the experience and many others just
don't talk about it.
The Roper Poll used a sample of 5,947
respondents corresponding to the equivalent number among the 185,000,000
ostensibly represented by Roper's demographically balanced sample. The
margin of error is + or - 1.4 per cent. The poll excluded everyone under
18 years of age and all residents of Hawaii and Alaska, as well as all
residing in dormitories, hospitals, etc. When respondents were asked if
they had ever awakened paralyzed with a sense of a strange "presence" in
the room 18 per cent said "yes." This percentage with a + or - 1.4
margin of error represents 33,300,000 people.
In 1973 my husband
Coleman and I and our two baby boys lived in Virginia. Coleman was
working for Christianity Today as the advertising manager and I was a
stay-at-home mom doing some freelance artwork. One night I awoke with a
start. My eyes flew open like a close-up in a horror movie when the dead
person comes back to life. I was totally awake with the sense that
something was very wrong. That sense moved very quickly to terror. I
was paralyzed, unable to move anything except my eyes. To my left, over
my husband's sleeping body, I could see three figures gliding into the
room. Their feet, which I couldn't see because a monk-like robe covered
them, never touched the ground. They were coming out of a walk-in closet
bedroom and my first thought was, "How did they get in there?" It was
communicated to me in some fashion - I don't know how - that they had
come through the large second story window in the nursery, glided down
the hall, gone through the wall into the master bath, and from the
bathroom had glided into the closet. I knew they were very, very angry
with me for some reason, but I didn't know why. They communicated to
me, without speaking, that they were going to levitate my stiff body,
slam me through the window above our bed and drop me on my head killing
me. They wanted me to know that my husband would be blamed for my death.
I had no doubt that they were capable of doing this and my
terror escalated. I tried to scream at Coleman to wake up but I
couldn't. My vocal cords were paralyzed. Then I began to pray. I tried
to call out, "JESUS." Again nothing would come out of my mouth other
than grunts. Once more I tried to say "JESUS." More grunts. Finally a
garbled "Jesus" came out. At the name of Jesus the beings dissipated
into the air into little triangles just like a visual effect.
I
immediately woke Coleman and told him what had happened. After
comforting me, the inevitable question came. He said, "Are you sure it
wasn't just a bad dream?" Irritated, I replied, "Yes, I'm sure. Because
if it was a bad dream I'm still dreaming. I awoke before it began and I
have not awakened since. Besides I just KNOW it was real." At the
time, neither one of us knew what to do with this experience, so I just
filed it away and didn't talk about it again for over 20 years.
Then
over twenty years later Coleman was writing a pilot script for a
television series that was supposed to be about all sorts of strange
phenomena. He gave me a book on alien abduction and asked me to read
it and see if there might be any story ideas in it that he could use.
As I read the book it struck me how similar these people's experiences
were to mine. Then I came across a drawing of one person's alien
abductor. It was eerie. He had drawn the same beings that had come into
my room.
At the same time, I was reading a book about several
different missionaries who had gone to a variety of Third World
countries to tell people about Jesus. The book was titled, Demon
Experiences in Many Lands and it was published by Moody Bible Institute
in Chicago in 1960. In the preface we find this statement by the
publishers: "It has been many years since any serious study of demon
experiences has been published, and possibly never before a compilation
from competent observers in many parts of the world. The reason for this
omission is not clear, but the result has been a feeling on the part of
many Christians that these strange (to us moderns) phenomena were only
valid in Bible times." Several of the missionaries had this attitude
themselves when their strange experiences began. Most were totally
unprepared for the assaults that they and their new converts confronted.
Several of these experiences were very similar to the ones described
in Hufford's book and countless alien abduction books. A conclusion from
Hufford's book is that people unfamiliar with any notion of what he
calls an "Old Hag Tradition" describe their symptoms precisely in
accordance with those aware of such a tradition. Hufford never called
these experiences "demonic." But all of the missionaries came to that
conclusion. They believed that they were dealing with demons and they
looked to the Bible to learn how to overcome them.
As I began to
form my own opinion about my night terror experience, I went to the
Internet to see if any one beside myself had had a similar experience.
Was I the only person who had used the name of "Jesus" to end a night
terror or alien abduction experience? I found an article from Florida
Today magazine that appeared on August 17, 1997, written by Rita Elkins
concerning alien abduction and it's similarity to demonic oppression.
She quotes Joe Jordan, a director for the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) a
clearinghouse for UFO related research. When he is not checking out
UFO claims for MUFON he works in product development and engineering for
Sea Ray Boats. He and his partner Wes Clark, also a member of MUFON,
who is a quality control engineer at the Kennedy Space Center, have,
through their work at MUFON, come across several people who have been
able to stop their abduction experience by calling on the name of Jesus.
He shared a taped interview with Elkins for her article in Florida
Today:
Jordan punches buttons on a tape recorder. A nameless,
30-something man with an intelligent-sounding voice, slightly Southern,
tells his story. Calmly at first.
"There were strange lights in
a nearby woods at bedtime, barking dogs. He is up and down a few times;
yelling at the dogs while his wife sleeps soundly. Then lying down
again...I couldn't move...grey fog. I couldn't see anything, but it was
like someone was here." He felt himself lifted off the bed. "I was
terrified, so helpless... screaming inside, but I couldn't get it out."
The voice is less calm now, but still certain, not hesitant.
"I
thought I was having a satanic experience, that the devil had gotten
hold of me and had shoved a pole up my rectum and was holding me up in
the air...so helpless. I couldn't do anything."
A non-religious person, he'd been to church with his wife a few times.
"I
said, 'Jesus, Jesus, help me,' or 'Jesus, Jesus, Jesus!' And when I
did, there was a feeling or a sound or something. That either my words
that I had thought or words that I had tried to say or whatever, hurt
whatever was holding me up in the air on this pole. And I felt it was
withdrawn, and I fell. I hit the bed, because it was like I was thrown
back in the bed. I really can't tell what it was. But when I did, my
wife woke up and asked why I was jumping on the bed"
Elkins goes
on to say, "Relentless anonymity is given in abduction research. Nobody
in their right mind wants family, friends and co-workers to know they've
had their personal space violated against their will by strange-looking
creatures whose existence isn't even proven."
Jordan told
Elkins that three other researchers had had similar cases. They had not
revealed this because they felt it would hurt their credibility,
especially among the folks that invite them to speak at UFO Conventions.
I certainly can understand this. A number of years ago Coleman and I
went to a UFO Convention in San Francisco. Most of the people there were
defiantly New Agers and didn't seem to be open to traditional religion
at all. In spite of the fact that abduction experiences are described as
horrible, brutal and denigrating many believe they are done by good
aliens and are somehow beneficial to human kind. So my question is, "Do
you really think our alien 'space brothers' are assaulting us or could
there be a demonic connection to these experiences?
You may be
wondering why I have decided to share my night terror story with the
world on the Internet. I am sure that there are many who will just think
I am a total wacko. Some of you who know me may think I am farther gone
than you realized. But if there are people experiencing these assaults
who want them to stop I can offer way out.
Few years ago, my son
was taking a college class at a secular university. The teacher of this
class, which was a language class and had nothing to do with what we
are writing about today, began asking the same questions that were asked
in the Roper Poll. After a few questions one girl raised her hand and
began to tell the class about her abduction experience. When she had
finished my son said to her, "There is a way to stop these experiences
if you want to." The teacher interrupted," No, there is no way to stop
them!" "Yes!" my son replied, "They can be stopped." "No they can
not." At that point the teacher went back to the curriculum. I want
people to know that my son's teacher is wrong. There is a way to stop
these experiences. Please don't think that I am saying that the name
"Jesus" is magic. It is not magic, but it does have Amazing Power. The
Creator of the Universe knows his children. The Good Shepard knows his
sheep. Surely if he was willing to die for our sins, He is able to
protect us from the Evil Ones. If you want His protection, put your
faith in Him.
If you have experienced a night terror I would like to hear from you. Please write and tell me your story.
