 Whew! What a busy Friday this has been! From laundry to phone calls to errands and business-related tasks - you name it, I did it. I hope everyone reading this post had a similarly productive day and that you have an enjoyable weekend planned with the people you love the most. As I discussed in my previous writing, several years ago, I was left wondering why my entire body shook after witnessing a large, floating sphere outside my family’s home in upstate New York. Three full days after seeing the orb, I still had shared this incident with no one. I’m almost embarrassed to admit this but, it wasn’t until day number five that finally confided my orb secret to my husband. You may be surprised to learn that I never did tell him about the seizure-like event. Honestly, I was afraid to. After I saw the look on his face when I told him about the sphere, I was convinced that I had already crossed a line. Please know that it is not my intention to make my then-husband sound like a monster. He was a good man, but at his core, he was a no-nonsense, PhD scientist. He wasn’t creative or open-minded in the way that I’ve always been. As such, back then I knew that without any evidence, he’d never believe me, so the best thing that I could do would be to never bring up the subject again. After all, our marriage was already strained, and I didn’t want to make things any worse than they already were. Despite my best intentions, all of my efforts at our relationship really didn’t matter much. That's because, by the time that I told my husband about the UFO, I was already developing a faint ringing in both of my ears. Even worse, lamps dimmed whenever I was close by, and the picture on our television grew fuzzy whenever I approached it. Perhaps strangest of all was when my dog’s collar slipped over his head – by itself! The latter upset me so much that, for weeks, I refused to walk Hugo outside after dark. To my knowledge, my husband only took notice of the TV and my reluctance at walking the dog at night. At one point he smirked that I had probably been abducted by aliens. Honestly, I didn’t know how to respond. I was mortified. I don’t think it’s even possible for me to adequately put into words just exactly how I felt. For starters, I was terrified. Was something wrong with me? Was I was going crazy? Had my physical health been jeopardized? Due to the length of my encounter, would I develop cancer sometime in the future? To be brutally honest, I was afraid that my husband was going to leave me. Our relationship had basically been over for years, and in my mind, the fact that I saw a UFO was the perfect excuse for him to file for divorce. He could claim that I was mentally ill and go on with his life, leaving me to pick up the pieces of this mystery by myself. Even so, I tried to carry on like nothing had happened. The problem was that within a few weeks, I started to hear words inside my head. Then phrases. I knew that these were not my thoughts because the words I heard were typically different from the ones I would ordinarily select. I was now terrified that I was in the early stages of psychosis. No matter what I did, no matter how hard I tried, I simply could not concentrate. This proved to be a disaster on so many levels, not only because I had a family to take care of and a business to oversee, but I was also in the middle of penning a science fiction book (not about aliens). One morning, I took a long look in the mirror. Whether I wanted to admit it or not, the moment had finally come to face the truth: it was time for me to call a psychiatrist. And that's exactly what I did. More to come in a future post... What about you? Have you ever experienced something that you couldn't explain?

Hi Donna--I still can't get over the fact that you lived in Guilderland when all this happened to you. I have experienced things I can't explain, but the things I remember are mostly encounters with people who have passed away--my father, my mother, and, more recently, one of my friends who died from Covid. Never an alien encounter. I am intrigued by your experiences. 1/6/2023 11:03:18 pm
Hi Wanda! I still can't get over the fact that you and I were practically neighbors! Small world, eh? I have never seen a deceased person, but my mom saw her dad shortly after he passed. I think it's a beautiful thing to see someone you cared about like that. Thanks for stopping by! : ) 1/7/2023 12:14:49 am
Wanda, I hope you see this message. I'm just checking to make sure you're seeing my replies to your posts...I'm concerned that some people don't even know I'm replying ((Hugs)), Donna Atwood 1/7/2023 06:59:14 am
It's all fun and games until you start hearing voices, huh? ;-) On a serious note, you must have been terrified, Donna, even more so because you couldn't confide in anyone. I'm happy you reached out for help and look forward to hearing what happened next. 1/7/2023 10:47:30 am
Hi Yvette, You hit the nail on the head, lady! I couldn't tell anyone anything! Luckily, the UFO community is growing up and reaching out to the public about these types of things. The good news is I'm definitely not alone in all of this. I have tremendous faith in God, plus I have people in my life who support me and believe me when I tell them something happened. All of this will eventually make sense...hang on to your hat! Best wishes, Donna : ) 1/7/2023 05:25:56 pm
Donna, I am so sorry you went through all those repercussions and had no one to lean on or to understand you. That sounds very lonely! I never had such an experience, but after my mother died, that same day, I was lying on my bed, crying in grief. I felt the bed shake, actually move as if someone had bumped into it, and it seemed I saw a shadow at the corner of my vision. I always wondered if my mother was saying goodbye. I hope she is somewhere with my father, happy. 1/7/2023 05:49:12 pm
Hi Maura Beth, 1/7/2023 06:41:59 pm
You're certainly not alone in the odd experiences department, Donna. I've been seeing things for years. Thankfully, I tell my husband each time it happens and he listens and believes me. So do my friends and the family I've shared with. I'd like to know what they're REALLY thinking, but they haven't walked away from me yet. Maybe hearing your story will encourage me to share more about mine. Be blessed! 1/7/2023 07:54:26 pm
Hi Patty, 1/9/2023 12:56:39 am
My husband rarely listens to what I say or even cares. He thinks my writing is silly because I'm not making money to support even a rabbit. I mentioned rabbit since I got stuck with daughter's dwarf bunny. I've given up sharing any concerns with him. Friends would better help you through your experience. I'm leaning on my friends, more than I ever did before. 1/10/2023 02:31:29 pm
Hi Suzanne, I can appreciate what you're saying here. Having said that, I'm honestly surprised that you're not making any money (thus far) with your writing. Everything I've read to date has shown that you're a superb writer - no kidding!!!! Please know that even though we've only just met, I totally understand how you feel about what you've been through. In my estimation, true friends are important because they sincerely care about what is going on in our lives Sadly, on the other hand, marriages sometimes run their course. I'm sorry for what you've been through but I suspect you have a bright future ahead! Hang in there! Best wishes, Donna : )

Hi, Donna! I can only imagine how terrifying this time in your life must have been! After seeing the movie "THE ENTITY" many years ago, in the back of my very active mind, I wonder if something like that could happen to me. I will admit that because of that movie, there are still those times when I walk into the shower and I feel the hairs on my arm stand up. I wonder. Like Wanda, though, the events that I've experienced along these lines all (with the exception of one) had/have to do with those in my life who have passed on (my sister, my cousin, etc.). Now the "exception" is the one that you have given me the idea to blog about today. 1/18/2023 10:36:02 am
Hi Nonnie! My goodness, I haven't seen the movie The Entity, but it is now on my MUST VIEW list! I too have experienced goosebumps on my arms. Instead of in the shower, this happened when I was outside. I could feel someone staring at me. I turned to look and of course, no one was there - at least not that I could see. The thing is, I'm aware of active and passive camouflage technologies, so...if my gut says something's wrong, then I always err on the side of caution. Leave a Reply. |
