I can't fully claim to ever have been abducted by extra terrestrials but some pretty bizarre things have happened to me throughout my childhood that I simply can't explain. My father claims to have seen "little men" outside of my bedroom door when I was seven years old in the middle of the night and as he advanced to chase them they ran around the corner of the hallway and just disappeared. Although I remember none of this, both my parents say that in the weeks after the intruder incident I drew pictures of the classic EBE dark-eyed, large-headed aliens, pointed at them and whispered, "Mommie, these are the men who take me at night." My parents are no jokers, and they'd never lie to me. Also, I've experienced nights during my childhood where eerie camera-like flashes seem to come from nowhere and everywhere at about five minute intervals and I don't know what to do but lay in bed terrified. I would run to wake my family but it was impossible to rouse them. I have experienced these bizzare lights and night fear while camping and during a sleepover at a friend's house where my friend also saw the flashes. During this particular incident, my friend and I (both twelve at this time)experienced missing time where be both lost about five minutes and woke up three feet from where we had been hiding under the covers. I have no memory of anything otherwise. Since then, beside the denial, night terrors and depression, I seem to have a residual electrical curse where it seems that every new electric thing I buy (cars included) breaks down or doesn't work properly once I touch it. Lights often flicker when I stand under them and I'm always setting off those in-store security scanners by the doors, which is very embarrassing knowing I haven't stolen anything. Has this happened to anyone else? Camera-like flashes and electrical mishaps? Please, please, please respond! I am very confused as to whether or not I'm going crazy.
