Alien Abduction and Folklore
Yes! There IS a Connection!
NOTE: Illustrations and gifs do not belong to me.
Just when you thought I couldn't get any weirder, one of my biggest childhood fears was not thunder, bees, or even the dark. I was legitimately terrified of being abducted by aliens. While I definitely get my love of mysteries from my mother, my fascination with the supernatural comes from my father. I have memories going back as far as age four of watching Unsolved Mysteries, Sightings, and In Search Of with Leonard Nimoy telling me all about Bigfoot. The stories that kept me up at night were alleged testimonials of people going up into a spaceship and being examined by extra-terrestrial beings.
But for how long have people been telling these stories? Longer than you think, actually. At first, I wanted to write about how aliens have been portrayed in pop culture over time, but my research led me in a different direction. I don't necessarily subscribe to what we're about to delve into, but I think it's thought-provoking enough for discussion. This is a primal fear for me, but writing about what we fear is a challenge, and I do love a challenge.
NOTE: This isn't a meta about aliens in general, and I will be calling them aliens throughout. This meta focuses on stories of abduction.
Lovable Gnome, My Ass
Elves: Step 1: Steal underpants. Step 2:....... Step 3: PROFIT!
Think about what you know on the subject of fairies so I can hurry up and disprove all of it. For one thing, for being called “fairy tales,” fairies aren't in too many of the stories collected by the Brothers Grimm. In European oral tradition, fairies are small, human-like creatures with magical powers that dwelt in the woods, most commonly seen around twilight. Already sounding a little other-worldly to you?
“Little people who come out at night. So what?”
Take a look at the above artwork. Fairies weren't depicted with wings until about Victorian times, and before that, in Orkney, they were described as being small and clad in gray. Even now, fairies are still portrayed as small and long-limbed with large eyes. And these were not the kindly wish-granters of Charles Perrault's “Cinderella.” These things messed with you.
“Tam Lin” is one of those not-kid-friendly fairy tales you won't see being adapted into a family film any time soon. It is about a woman who meets and falls for an “elf” in the woods, the eponymous Tam Lin who not only impregnates her, but informs her that he used to be a human. He was just out one day when the Queen of the Fairies abducted him. The rest of the story centers around how they will save him from the fairies before they tithe him to hell.
Tam Lin: (singing) While strolling through the woods one day/in the merry merry month of May/She’ll be taken by surprise/And I’ll face my demise/a really creepy love story starts today!
When it comes to virtually any other supernatural encounter, it is usually the supernatural creature coming down to the human's home court. God sends his angels to people to communicate with them, for example. When the supernatural creature takes you to its habitat, it usually means trouble.
So what would happen when a person saw a fairy? If a traveler didn't make it to an inn by nightfall, they would often see lights floating around first. Known as will-o'-the-wisps, these lights would lead travelers astray. And this isn't just an English thing. Sightings of mysterious floating lights in forests and marshes exist in Japan, Australia, and South America as well.
So now you're lost in the woods because you followed the bright, shiny thing. You are no smarter than a moth flying into a bug zapper. What punishment awaits you? Well, none just yet. It's a little unsettling being lost in the woods at night, but you hear some faint music, so there must be a camp nearby, right?
Oh, you poor soul. Turn back now.
You suddenly see little people dancing around in a circle, and the melody is pretty catchy. The term “fairy ring” usually means a circle of mushrooms or other fungi. These occur naturally, but ancient people believed they were more or less portals—gateways between our world and the world of the fairies, elves, goblins, pixies, sprites, Sidhe...whatever you want to call them.
The horror. The horror...
If a fairy saw you, a variety of things could happen. One is a “fairy stroke,” in which you are paralyzed or given a disease of some kind. In Ireland, there were tons of remedies and prayers on how to come away from this alive. But they would have smacked their foreheads first because you should have known not to go near a fairy ring. If you step into the fairy ring, you might start dancing with the fairies until you drop from exhaustion. You could also be sucked into their world as it is a portal, after all. Or you might just die young.
“What does all of this have to do with alien abduction?”
Well, it seems that fairies really get their kicks from abducting people. Think about it. It's night, you're alone, and then a glowing, big-eyed creature first paralyzes you and then takes you with them somewhere? I shouldn't have to go into the number of stories where time works differently in other worlds, where maybe years pass where you are but when you go back it's only been a few minutes, etc. You could spend a couple of minutes in the fairies' realm only to find out that several years have passed in our world. Those who study UFOs would call that “missing time.”
It all must come down to what people believed fairies actually were. The most popular belief was that they were fallen angels who now wanted to prey upon humans.
The forest was always a scary place for people, but once you throw fallen angels into the mix, all bets are off. If you live in a world where stepping inside a circle of mushrooms is bad news, it's not a stretch to believe that fallen angels can also just come right into your home. Legends of the incubus/succubus were popular at this time, too, demons that sat on your chest while you were sleeping, had sex with you (while you were sleeping), and took your, um, essence around with them, impregnating whoever they wanted. Keep in mind also that “brownies” were little people who lived in your house and sometimes helped you, sometimes made mischief for you, depending on their mood.
“But these are just Irish and Welsh weirdos going around saying all these things.”
Oh, we're playing that game, are we? The Ojibwe and Wampanoag had Pukwudgies, little people who lived in the woods and caused trouble. The Maori had Patupaiarehe, Hawaiians had Menehune, and the ancient Basques (parts of modern-day Spain and France) had Laminak, little people who are also kind of mermaids. Stories of little people living out in the woods who have their own world, parallel one or not, are all over the world and almost every culture says they are not above kidnapping children.
Changeling, Mister? Got any Changeling?
This nightmare fuel brought to you by Black Pot! The only pot willing to call the kettle black!
That's right, folks. Sometimes the fairies liked your baby so much they would steal it and leave one of their kind in its place. Because fair is fair.
Infant mortality was a much bigger part of life than it is for most of us now, the percentages being anywhere from 30 to 50% in the Middle Ages, and since there was so little information available to people on how to get your kids to survive, people would blame sudden changes in behavior and/or appearance on fairies. Your kid has started crying a lot? Changeling. Your kid is nursing constantly but never gets full? Changeling. Your kid's ears are a little big, possibly pointy and they can just think people into the cartoon world like in The Twilight Zone Movie? Well, okay, that's probably a legitimate malevolent entity.
So these poor babies that in our time would have just been labeled ugly or difficult are now responsible for the entire family's misfortunes. At least Native American cultures were a little nicer in that the little people only took kids who were being abused or had already been abandoned.
“Why do they steal babies?”
I could give you the Mount Everest answer: because it's there, but reasons vary. Sometimes fairies really like that infant blood. Sometimes their own kids need human breast milk to survive. Maybe they just have it out for a certain family. Or maybe they just really like human babies and don't understand that taking one to have for yourself is wrong, the Raising Arizona Defense.
Gotta Go Back in Time
Alien abduction seems to be one of the last remaining supernatural stories that elicits a substantial amount of fear. We're a little too quick to dismiss someone's claims of being abducted, our main argument being that it's just ridiculous. However, the more we find out about space, the more we find out we are not the center of the universe and there are a ton of things out there beyond our full comprehension. The big question isn't “does life exist on other planets” but “do those life forms come here?”
The urban legend is the modern folktale, a cautionary tale mostly spread orally (or via internet) where the narrative didn't happen to you or to anyone you know, but it could happen to a friend of a friend, and that's scary enough. That's sort of what alien abduction tales are. If you yourself believe you've been abducted, I apologize, but odds are, you don't personally know anyone making these claims. You have a wide variety of people from different backgrounds kind of saying the same thing, but....it's ridiculous. And God knows the ridiculous never happens in real life, right? Right??? I mean, no one credible has ever reported seeing a UFO, right???
Shen Kuo did. In 1053 AD.
Shen Kuo: ...so there I was, minding my own business, when out of nowhere, this army of what looked like the walking dead started advancing on me, arms and legs bent in unnatural positions, their breathing much more focused than normal. And they were so old! So old! (starts rocking back and forth)
Shen Kuo was a little bit of everything—astronomer, archaeologist, cartographer, botanist, and Ancient China's “Sexiest Man Alive” for three years in a row. He was one of the first to write about climate change, petrified plants and animals, lunar and solar eclipses, and why lightning can melt metal but not thatched roofs. He also wrote about a glowing ball, similar to a pearl, in the sky, illuminating the forest in red. I'm paraphrasing here, but he talks about a door opening up on it, creating a light too blinding for anyone to see, and then the object taking off.
Now, true, this is not an account of abduction, but stay with me here. I'm establishing that UFO sightings are not just a product of some twentieth century zeitgeist. People in Hamburg, Germany reported seeing two glowing “wheels” in the sky in 1697. Tennessee College has a UFO sighting dated all the way back to 1853, and in 1865, a trapper named James Lumley was out in the Montana woods when he saw a glowing light in the sky that suddenly broke apart into “particles.” This was accompanied with a rushing wind that reminded him of a tornado, taking up hilltops and uprooting trees, leaving dark stains in the ground.
Just for the sake of brevity, I'm only going to talk in detail about one alleged alien abduction, but it was one of the first, and it's widely regarded as one of the most credible. Ladies and gentlemen, this is the horror story of Betty and Barney Hill:
“What's the dog's name?”
I KNEW YOU WERE GOING TO ASK THAT! It's Delsey.
“Thank you for fact-checking.”
A little bit of background. These two lived in New Hampshire, he, a US postal worker, she, a social worker. They were Unitarian church members, active in the NAACP, and both were seen as sensible, practical people in their community, neither one much interested in science fiction. I guess if I were abducted, I wouldn't be credible.
Anyway, the Hills were driving home from a vacation late at night, dismissing a white light that seemed to be following them as a plane. They stopped to let the dog (Delsey. See? It's a plot point!) out to stretch her legs. Betty walked the dog while Barney—skeptical, but maybe a little paranoid—whipped out his binoculars to see if he could spot the light. He described what happened next as feeling an urge to leave the car, even though Betty was no idiot and knew anyone walking along a highway in the middle of the night was going to be either hit or kidnapped by hillbillies. He followed the light and murmured something like, “I don't believe this,” which was quickly followed by, “They're going to capture us!”
Proving he was in fact, also not an idiot, he ran back to his car and the two took off, followed by the light and strange beeping they both compared to that of a microwave oven when your Mac & Cheese is done. Then everything went back to normal.
Or so they thought.
“Oh, I HATE 'Or so they thought!'”
The next day, they noticed some car trouble. Patches of paint had been taken off their car, revealing bare metal. Magnetized metal. They reported this to Pease Air Force Base (now closed) and decided to consider the possibility they had seen a UFO. Keep in mind these two do not have a history of prank-pulling or wacky LSD parties. Barney was also having severe back pain and saw that his shoes were scuffed up, like he'd been dragged in them. Betty was having nightmares of creatures with “large, cat-like eyes” kidnapping her. And neither one could account for the two hours between stopping their car and getting home.
They sought medical help and it was finally suggested they undergo regression (read: hypnosis) to find out what the hell happened to them. It's pretty much the classic abduction tale—rendered semi-conscious, forced into a spaceship, poked and prodded. Tortuously. I won't go into details, but the physical exam they both underwent involved needles, suction, and screaming. Betty even reported asking if she could take the aliens' book with her as proof, but she was denied.
They were put under separately, but most of the details in their stories matched. They were taken by small, whitish-gray skinned beings with large, feline eyes. For the rest of their lives, the Hills insisted they were telling the truth, Betty even able to draw a star map of Zeta Reticuli, years before it was discovered.
So I'll be super fair here and point out what skeptics often do about this case:
1. The Hills' description of the aliens matches the first mainstream portrayal of the “Greys” on television, an episode of The Outer Limits that aired twelve days before their crazy car ride
2. The Hills' accounts of what happened to them don't match as well as they should, and details have changed over time
3. In later years, Betty Hill confused street lights with UFOs at conventions, severely lowering her credibility
4. Famed astronomer Carl Sagan himself said that Betty Hill's star map was too imprecise to be anything, much less Zeta Reticuli
Look, I'm not going to give credence to or discredit individuals who claim to have been abducted. What I'm pointing out are the similarities to these far more ancient stories we've been talking about—the floating lights, the missing time, the sudden onslaught of medical issues. Even if the Hills stole the alien description from a TV show, this was the first decade of the Greys, the small, skinny, gray-skinned bald aliens with huge black eyes, and that alone is significant from a pop culture standpoint. Prior to this, aliens—Martians, most of the time—were purported to be small, but also green and clearly male.
Both the Greys and fairies have large eyes, pale skin, sort of an asexual look, and are known to fly, go through walls, appear in your dreams, and lead you away from the world as you know it.
Abduction Lit 101
HG Wells drew “teapot,” “tentacles,” and “Pinocchio” out of a hat and a dark, dark tale was born.
In 1895, HG Wells published an essay called “Man of the Year Million,” his own idea of what humanity would be like in the year 1,000,000 AD. He predicted we would have less in common with apes and develop smoother lines, a larger brain, and a smaller body. We all basically take the form of the heads on Futurama, kept in a dome surrounded by a liquid that provides us nutrients. With such large brains, we wouldn't need bodies that much, so they would shrivel up. In short, we would become the grotesque aliens of our nightmares.
Wells was fascinated by the evolution of man and if the distinct class differences in Victorian times would lead to sort of a disparity in evolution where some evolved and some devolved. His novel The War of the Worlds parallels Colonialism, and his creation of the Morlocks in The Time Machine strikes some similarities with his mother, who was a servant that spent most of her time underground.
But perhaps the first story to really explore the idea of aliens taking people anywhere belongs to HP Lovecraft. “The Whisperer in Darkness”was written in 1930 and is one of his many sleep-depriving short stories that starts out with a man ridiculing those who believe an area in Vermont is populated by the little people of old. Those damned floating lights again... He is in correspondence with another man who has been in contact with people who claim they are agents of an alien race. Skeptical of them at first, this second man soon has an abrupt change of mind and invites the main character out to see firsthand. The two have a conversation in a dark room where the second man seems to be sitting in a chair. There are some whispers in darkness(!) and without spoiling anything, the guy steals a car to get the hell out of Dodge, believing a grotesque fate awaited him had he stayed.
While the story very much is about aliens playing Operation with humans, a number of the tropes surrounding alien abduction aren't there, primarily the body horror that is said to go on when the aliens experiment on a person.
Robert Heinlein played with alien invasion and alien possession in 1953's The Puppet Masters that, along with Invasion of the Body Snatchers, is more about fighting communism than anything else, but then Whitley Strieber came along.
Strieber started out as a novelist, writing The Wolfen and The Hunger among others, but it was his non-fiction book Communion that put him on the map.
Christopher Walken in a UFO movie? Yes. This feels right.
Whitley Strieber claims he was abducted by aliens on December 26, 1985. He calls the Greys “visitors” and describes in vivid detail how he saw a figure in his bedroom and lost several weeks of memories, given “screen memories” instead—visions of owls, rabbits, and deer (forest imagery. Tuck that away) that he knew weren't real. Under hypnosis, he recalled being taken from his bedroom through the woods to a spaceship where there was at least one robot and at least one stocky humanoid alien, but the rest were Greys, or “visitors” in the book. He underwent an extensive medical exam similar to other abductee claims, but this is where the notorious “anal probe” thing came from.
Strieber describes a moist, dusky scent, like being underground and says aliens smell like cinnamon. Again, a lot of forest imagery for being up in space. To his credit, he doesn't really speculate much on why the Visitors are here or what the purpose of the physical examinations could be. He even chose the name Visitors in hopes of keeping things as neutral as possible, keeping in mind he didn't know if these were hallucinations or not. Strieber still writes both fiction and non-fiction to this day, but he gets pretty upset if you categorize Communion as fiction. Oh, and if you buy into the idea that he has temporal lobe epilepsy, you're wrong. He has been tested for it many times and his brain is working just fine.
And Film Responds
In 1972, J. Allen Hynek came up with a classification of UFO sightings.
The First Kind: visual sighting of a UFO
The Second Kind: sighting of a UFO with a physical effect, like physical impressions in the ground
The Third Kind: sighting of a living being/occupant of the UFO; also known as “first contact”
The Fourth Kind: (added on by Ted Bloecher) alien abduction
The Fifth Kind: direct communication between humans and aliens
The Sixth Kind: death of a human or animal associated with a UFO sighting (spaceship uproots a tree and it falls on you)
The Seventh Kind: the creation of a human/alien hybrid
The Eighth Kind: a sequence of the above kinds for a particular individual
You might be most familiar with the Third Kind as there is the classic Steven Spielberg movie named after it, Close Encounters of the Third Kind. While it premiered in 1977 alongside Star Wars, both sci-fi movies couldn't be more different. Star Wars is actually closer to fantasy than most science fiction films and while by now you can get anything out of the franchise that you want, its primary function was to be fun family entertainment. Close Encounters, however, exists in our world and has to do with our world's reactions. The aliens are not seen until the end (and yes, they are the Greys), and it's very unclear what their nature is. They seem to be well-meaning, but they are technically brainwashing people into wanting to go with them. It's a mysterious, haunting movie that asks a lot of questions and doesn't necessarily answer all of them.
Alien Abduction provided us with a slew of supernatural TV shows in the 70s, 80s, and 90s, everything from Dark Skies, to The Outer Limits (long-running, ain't it?), and The X Files. In almost every incarnation, the aliens are hostile to humans, but in an ambivalent sort of way, giving us new technology and graciously not outright taking us over, but they're doing experiments on us and I guess what you would call anomalies in humanity are explained with alien possession. Charles Manson, for example is an alien on Dark Skies. I mean, thank goodness ET: The Extra-Terrestrial balanced things out in that it had a sympathetic alien who befriends children and the government tracking him down being the antagonist.
Like I said, I grew up in the late 80s and 90s in which unsolved mysteries equated to prime-time entertainment, giving me a dose of darkness after Full House, I suppose. Things that really happen but didn't seem to have much rhyme or reason to them evolved into reality TV where, to the surprise of no one, things happen that don't seem to have much rhyme or reason to them. “It's unscripted! I swear! We didn't make this up for the sake of ratings!”
We were really set in what was happening in our world in the here and now. Comic books and comic book-based movies were outrageously stupid, Friends ridiculed anyone who had read The Lord of the Rings in spite of the fact that even then it was considered a classic, and pop culture seemed to be dictating that the best form of escapism is no longer exploring other worlds/dimensions, but to just point out how much smarter you are than the people you're watching on Maury, Big Brother, The Jersey Shore, etc.
But things have a way of coming full circle. Those who grew up with the dark, gritty fantasy movies of the late 70s and 80s had grown up and wanted a little more...oomph in their entertainment. Thinking of other worlds and who would inhabit those worlds fuels the imagination. It can be wondrous and whimsical, or it can be downright terrifying, and since M. Night Shyamalan is quoted for saying that he can turn even something like Pokemon into a symbolic epic, he took on the alien mythos with the 2002 movie Signs.
I'm not going to lie—Signs has a really good first third/half that seems to be building onto something, but it never delivers because these are the stupidest, worst-conceived aliens ever, but compared to a lot of the crap we were being fed in the early 2000s, this was an intelligent, psychological thriller that took science fiction elements and made us question our own philosophies. Ooh, remember when we all thought Shyamalan's use of the color red in The Sixth Sense was profound? Innocent times, then.
It has some legitimate scares and it thrives off of creating suspense in a Hitchcockian sort of way, but it ends up being just too silly with a lot of plot holes and a rushed climax. However, it brought aliens back into the public eye. Crop circles had gone out of fashion back in the 70s, but maybe there was something to all of that, hmm? Maybe these farm yokels who talk candidly about being probed in the anus aren't just looking for attention, hmm?
“But there is no abduction in this movie.”
There is talk of it at the end, and that one alien does try to take the boy, but you're right. We were still trying too hard to not be afraid of being abducted. An adult openly talking about being afraid of being abducted by aliens would be like an adult saying they're afraid to watch Scooby-Doo. David Icke, Jim Mars, and their ilk have been laughed at for their ideas and now can only write to a niche market that believes in these kinds of things and just aren't interested in a scientific, objective investigation. In fact, maybe Signs is just picked apart more than your average horror/sci-fi movie because we want to poke holes in something like alien abduction. You see all kinds of reviews for this movie pointing out the problems with it, but no one has really dissected Halloween in this way. Michael Myers can survive all he does because he's simply a demon/ghost rather than a person, the original script referring to him as “the Shape.” We accept other “ridiculous” elements and tropes in other horror movies because we have accepted that they need to be there. But when it comes to aliens, suddenly everything has to make total sense and everything has to be explained in just the right way so we feel neither stupid nor baffled at any time.
A 2014 movie simply called Alien Abduction fares a little better with treating aliens like a legitimate threat, and yes, there is abduction. Lots and lots of abduction.
Looks like Duck Dynasty’s getting cancelled.
It's one of those “found footage” films, so whether that makes it more suspenseful or not depends on how you feel about that genre, and I did find it weird that the character holding the camera is the family's youngest child. In any other movie, this would be the person most likely to freak out, but the movie explains this away with young Riley being autistic who uses his camera to help him make sense of the world around him. I can't decide if that's clever or insulting, but the plot is that Riley, his mom, dad, big brother, and big sister are going on a camping trip to an area in North Carolina that supposedly has a lot of sightings of glowing lights and disappearances. But it's totally going to be okay this time.
These aliens are smart, and it helps we rarely see them. First, they purposely mess with things like GPS and cell phone signals so you are even more isolated than ever. Yeah, you could get away with a character's phone not working in a remote forested mountain, but it's a little better when it's implied something tampered with your phone. The movie has a less-is-more approach to scares, like one time a bunch of dead crows just start raining down. We don't really know why. Maybe they hit an invisible spaceship. Maybe there is some kind of exhaust coming out of the ship that kills them. We don't know, and that puts us right with the family, as they don't know, either. Hell, we don't even know if this family is being specifically targeted, or if they're just at the wrong place at the wrong time.
Insert your own “wrong place at wrong time” joke
North Carolina's Brown Mountain Lights are a real phenomenon and sightings of them date back as far as 1913, so this was some really good source material. It's not a perfect movie, and the whole “found footage” thing is a little out of vogue now, but when it's done well, it can be really, really effective. We don't have to see any horrors associated with the abduction; it's scarier to not know what will happen once aboard the ship. It's the aliens' pursuit of the family that is scary, and the relatively less frightening part where you're “beamed” up into their ship actually looks pretty excruciating here as it looks like their tractor beam breaks a lot of your bones to get you up there. The movie begins and ends with the same shot of a camera falling to earth, so please expect a downer ending to this one.
It also connects perfectly to what we were discussing with the fair folk and their methods. It's not that these creatures exist that scares us. It's that we know so little about their nature. Fairies can like you or dislike you at the drop of a hat. They are so alien to us that anything we know about what offends them is just guesswork. How do we really learn anything about them? Trial and error. “I laid my baby on its side and put a brown wig on him, but the fairies still took him.”
The same is true for aliens. I mean, what have we really learned here?
“That you can write an entire episode of Ancient Aliens by yourself?”
Well, thanks, but we don't know anything about the Greys, even after researching UFOs and reading about eye witness accounts. If we can't understand our enemy, there is no hope in defeating them. Are they an enemy? It seems that way since they are beaming people up and experimenting on them, arguably raping them since there are people out there who claim to have seen their cross-species child (for a safer example of what a human/Grey hybrid can look like, just look at Renesmee in the Twilight movies. Uncanny valley at its worst). The alien mythos has survived because we're not able to debunk things about quite the same way as we can with something like ghosts. Ghost stories survive because of the sheer number of them, not because we can't explain a lot of things people mistook for ghosts in the past, and every ghost story/vision is a little different). But with aliens, we can dismiss the eye witness testimony and we can analyze photos, but to use a little bit of science here, you technically can't prove something doesn't exist. “In order to disprove the assertion that all crows are black, one white crow is sufficient.” You can comb the universe looking for life and not find it, but all I need is one alien to invalidate you.
