Monstrous parallels

Parallels between possession and abduction

It would seem that UFO abductions were occurring since the beginning of times. When we compare ancient chronicles, myths and legends, to what is occurring today, it seems we going through the same mystical visitations yet again. In past centuries people believed they were being taken away by gods, fairies or powerful magicians from some mythological land. Other victims believed their houses were haunted and that ghosts or demons were bothering them.

Incubi and Succubi were believed to be demonic beings. Masked as pretty young women or men, they generated lustful dreams and then engaged in sexual intercourse with their sleeping victims: Succubi with women, Incubi with men.  Even the German religious reformer Martin Luther believed that demons provided human sperm, and became procreative in hopes of obtaining human or human-like offspring. This belief of the fertilization of women by heavenly or divine, as well as demonic beings, has pervaded throughout the course of human history. Possession stories have a striking parallel with the abductee feeling sexually abused.
