It was me, my wife, and our son, who was then six. beautiful afternoon right after Christmas. We'd have a wonderful Christmas. Little country house we'd bought a year before. Went to bed. And in the middle of the night, became aware of the fact that there were noises around me. Movement Felt like I was in a room full of people And I was supposed to be in my bedroom alone with my wife It was just something wrong. Finally I woke up. Opened my eyes. I couldn't get up. Couldn't rise off the bed. And then I realized I'm not on my bed. I'm somewhere else. this room with an arch door and a little black window in it. It was really weird. Who the hell is that? Is there somebody there? Is that somebody there? I don't think I like that. I saw these big black eyes Peering at me from about two feet away Something's a It looks blue It's got eyes out Big eyes With seven eyes I found myself In a room Full of what looked like gigantic insects. It was horrifying. I saw something that looked like it had a hood on it near the corner in our bedroom. I don't want it to be there. The head of the New York State Department of Psychiatry, Dr Donald Klein he had solved many criminal cases with hypnosis The world best forensic hypnotist he was the real deal The memory began to come back under hypnosis I had feet, comfortable, relaxed, safe. So pay attention to my voice, but you remain asleep. You remain a bit comfortable. Make it safe. They would move very slowly and then very quickly. They were not of this world at all. That was when I thought, I'm having a nightmare. I don't want it to be there! They didn't go away. We're thinking, God, this is real. I became crazed. I was on a little cot. I couldn't get off of it. I couldn't move and I kept trying to imagine my bed. I couldn't do that either. It was so vivid. that it was like real life, I remembered those faces, and they weren't human. It was sticking into my mind. It would make a noise, like a voice. I don't know where it came from, but it was a mechanical voice, clearly. And it would repeat. What can we do to help you stop screaming? Why don you like me I hearing this voice Jesus What can we do to help you stop screaming I can help me Holy shit. I'm sorry. Gigantic insects. Very scary. They were not silly looking at all. Ever when you were a kid maybe watch a praying mantis, how it creeps so gracefully and smoothly along and then whang, it gets the little fly that it's after? That's how they moved. One of them was about five feet tall. The others were all very small. They showed me a needle. They were going to put it in the side of my head. He touches my head with this thing. I realized then... This was physical. I relax. Please! Daddy! Daddy, I do like this. Relax. I like that. You gotta stay relax now. What the fuck are you doing, Daddy? No!
