INVISIBILITY OR ABDUCTION?

These two “incidents” did not appear in our book which had already been written back in 2003.  Both incidents happened within a week of each other and we were baffled as was our therapist and a Registered Nurse (observer), when we described the incidents.

We lived in South Berwick, Maine in a 200 year old house.  The second floor was not accessible from the first floor and my wife never or rarely went into the basement.

Our granddaughters lived just a couple of blocks away and it was not uncommon for them to come over and visit, almost daily during the summer.  Lizzie was 9 years old at the time, (the oldest), and she was visiting with me in the dining room.  Peggy, (my wife) was in the bedroom, making the bed.  Lizzie decided to help her make the bed.  Lizzie came running out of the bedroom and said to me:  “Where is Nana, I can’t find her?”  I didn’t think much about it and told her she must be in the bedroom still making the bed.  Lizzie searched through the entire house and came running back to me and said:  “She has disappeared!  She is not in the house.”  I told Lizzie that was ridiculous, Nana never goes out while you are here without telling me.

A couple of minutes later, Peggy came walking out of the bedroom.  Lizzie asked her where she had been and Peggy said she had been in the bedroom the entire time, making the bed.  We thought little more about it.

Almost a week later, the same scenario took place.  Lizzie kept telling me that Peggy was not in the house!  I looked around through the few rooms we had and said perhaps she was out in the yard.  Lizzie ran out into the yard and Peggy came walking out of the bedroom a couple of minutes later.  (There is no access to the yard from the bedroom.  The only way out of the bedroom is through the living room!  Lizzie is now 12 years old.  She maintains to this day that Nana was “gone” or “vanished” during each of those times.

We tried hypnotic regression concerning the first incident and Peggy had a vague recollection of being abducted, in broad daylight, and lifting up through the roof, past the treetops into “something”.  Unless time was warped somehow, five minutes is not long enough for an abduction to take place.  This may tie-in, somehow with invisibility.  Our granddaughter is not given to lying, certainly not about something as mundane as not being able to find her Nana for a short period of time.  Lizzie and I were in the house the entire time and indeed, Peggy must have been either invisible or missing during both of those episodes.
