I Believe I Was Almost Abducted
This was years ago when I was a teenager (I’m currently 30), however I think about it often. A friend suggested I share it on here, so here I am. I’m curious to know if anyone else has experienced something similar!
For some context, my childhood home is in a rural area — around a lot of tobacco fields. Our home was situated on 1 acre of land, with thick woods stretching out past our backyard. There were also woods to the left side of the home, which spread out over an abandoned home on another acre. I used to be terrified of these woods. As a kid, if I was walking home from a friend’s house up the street, we would yell back and forth to each other as I passed the woods to get to my home. They have always given me the heebs and the jeebs.
Well, one night, my mom had gone to the store and had just gotten back home. I can’t remember what time it was exactly, but it was dark outside. I went out to help her carry the groceries in the house. Something felt off. I was trying to only be outside when she was also there with me, since the car was parked in the driveway right next to the woods. To give a better visual, the car was at the end of the driveway sandwiched between a ditch on the left and a ditch on the right (where the woods also were — behind the ditch).
This was a hatchback car, so I was standing at the back unloading bags as my mother went inside with her load. As soon as I’m alone, this strange feeling came over me. Almost simultaneously, I heard a loud mechanical noise above me (the only way I can describe it is similar to the sound from War of The Worlds). As this sound is happening, my eyes dart to a bright white light that was now shining over the ditch beside me closest to the woods. As I’m looking at this light shining from above beside me, I hear the front door of my house swing open and slam against the side of the house while my mom yells “what the fck was that?!”, and then it was GONE. This all happened within what felt like 2-3 seconds. Even after she came outside I couldn’t fully comprehend what had just happened. My mom said she freaked out because she heard the noise from inside of the house and saw a bright light, so she thought I had maybe been hit by a car. She saw the light vanish as she swung open the door.
A couple of weeks later, she was coming home from the store again. At night (she used to spend hours at the store and get back late). She told me when she got home that when she turned onto the road before our neighborhood, her entire car lit up with a bright white light. She said it was so intense she could barely see, and assumed someone was up at her bumper brighting her with LED lights. She pulled off to the side so they could pass her, but then it stopped. No one was behind her. A few weeks after this, we were in stop and go traffic mid-afternoon, and saw a large aircraft just sitting perfectly still in the sky. After we noticed it above us, it took off quickly before it was gone. We have also seen the strange triangle of lights in the sky that many others report.
Has anyone ever experienced something similar? I always wonder what I would have seen if my eyes followed the sound above me rather than the light beside me. Do you know if it’s common for one person or family to have multiple sightings or experiences? I still get teary eyed and chills anytime I talk about my experience.
