Coping Methods For Alien Abductions: Dealing with Doppelgangers & Familiar Faces

.

One of the aspects of abductions that sows confusion and misleads people to jump to conclusions are the human-looking ‘people’ they sometimes think they see. I say “think they see” because there is every reason to believe it may be yet another smoke and mirrors technique used to control and test their subjects.

It is quite common for alien greys and hybrids to take on the appearance of a family member, like a parent or close older sibling, in order to get children to obey instructions and to assure them that they are allowed to be in a situation involving strange environments and people. Especially nowadays as children are told not to trust strangers– the aliens have found a way to go around that by pretending to not be strangers at all. (I’ve had it used on me many times as a child and even as a teen and young adult.) They may even just state outright that they are one’s mother or best friend several times, using telepathic mental pressure for extra persuasiveness. Yet sometimes the things the ‘lookalikes’ say are either repeated phrases that might get used incorrectly, or things totally out of character for the person the being was trying to emulate, and you can sniff out the fabricated facsimile!

Things get especially interesting for adults, however, when the aliens take on the faces and roles of friends, parents, or other family members who have died… Some abductees think aliens have some way to access the realm of the afterlife or dead, often mixed with hopeful wishing that the contact was really a beloved one who has passed on. Unfortunately, closer scrutiny often reveals that any conversation was trite, stereotypical, or otherwise unlike the actual person in question. Some of us have done the reality testing technique of ‘reaching out and touching’ the face, only to find it melts away to reveal anything but the dead loved one we’re being encouraged to believe should be there.

This subject can be controversial to broach because many people have emotional investment in thinking their contacts with the dead are real in this context. My skepticism is not based on disbelief of spirits or the afterlife however– far from it! (Which is obvious if you’ve been reading my blog a while– heck, the last post I mentioned a ghost we shared space with!) Rather, it is based upon repeated fictional scenarios cooked up by the aliens who seem to find we calm down and cooperate if we see a long-lost friend or relative. In addition, they are apparently keen to study our emotional attachments to other people and often create a ‘scenario’ in which to watch us re-connect to someone, apparently finding it rather fascinating.

This is not to say that real parents, siblings, or others who are known to the abductee can’t be present on a ship or with the aliens! Not at all! Family members are sometimes taken together, and aliens do sometimes pick up friends of abductees who happen to have the bad luck to be in close proximity during an abduction. However, in these cases, the familiar people act like other people in the same situation: confused, frightened, blank, or otherwise in a controlled mental state. They do not tend to get right up in another person’s face, giving a close eye gaze, while giving an order like an alien! (Though there are situations where abductees do act in the alien’s interests, almost as if an alien themselves, but I will address that in a coming post. This isn’t confusing at all, right?! LOL!)

Probably the best strategy to have if you see a familiar face on a ship is to note how they’re dressed and how they act. If they seem in a similar state to yourself, they’re probably who you think they are. If they dress like the aliens or act like them, test it and feel what you think you see (they are often close enough to touch if they get in your face, which they often do). Also look for little details in looks or behavior that would give away a disguise. Aliens tend to do their disguises in broad strokes, missing details like freckles, moles, a characteristic limp, or nervous habit. Ask a weird, off the cuff, and funny question about something the person would know about and observe not only what they answer, but how– you’ll figure out pretty quickly if the person being ‘presented’ to you is real or not.

Another strange and disturbing anomaly that pops up from time to time are look-alike doubles, or doppelgangers. For example, you might see a familiar family member or friend you live with or contact regularly happen to walk past you and go down a hallway silently, and then hear them come in the front door and greet you like normal! They may be dressed alike, or totally different, but generally one is ‘genuine’ and one seems fake. Apparently, some beings can disguise themselves to look like people we know in order to move around our homes or other locations for a short while without being detected. If you are paying attention and realize you’re seeing more than one person– who doesn’t have an identical twin!– then there’s a good chance something odd is going on. However, I’m betting most of the time people don’t even catch this since it is such a transient anomaly and not too common. Keep it in mind, though, and double check the possible double!

(Although– I have to admit, this may not always be the explanation! On a few occasions during paranormal flaps, Gerick and I experienced what I can only call ‘time-slips.’ This subject is big enough to warrant a post of its own, so stay tuned!)

Some abductees have seen tanks or tubes with exact duplicates of themselves, often at younger ages, on an alien ship. One has to wonder what, if this is not an alien fabricated presentation, could be the purpose of such creations? Though these reports are rare, they do exist. More information is needed here before I could speculate further, though there is no doubt the possibilities are incredibly intriguing and more than a little paranoid!

Familiar faces in alien environments and doppelgangers in ‘normal life’ both require ascertaining the authentic identity of the subjects in question, which in turn requires an alert mind and a willingness to follow through with actions. Ennui and habit are the killers of curiosity here, and you really have to prevent talking yourself out of following up on your own questions.

Most of the time, in normal circumstances, you’ll find a perfectly ordinary mistake explains everything– a grown son looked like his dad when seen out of the side of your eyes, or someone changed their clothes quickly. However, for those few times when things go genuinely weird, you’ll have gained personal evidence to record and yet another chance to understand more of what’s going on in general.

Most of the time in extraordinary circumstances, there is every reason to be suspicious of all that you see and/or are told. We know all is often not as it seems when it comes to aliens, so doubt is your best friend. At Spiral’s End: What’s Left After the Paradigm Shatters is the personal paranormal blog of a woman that follows not only current odd events in her life, but recounts incidents from her past, including lifelong alien abductions, encounters with ghosts and other spiritual beings, and premonitions from either waking visions or dreams. She reacts and speculates about the deeper meaning behind these incidents and wonders– what is the ultimate reality or intelligence behind it all?
