Elizabeth and Kathryn: Identical Twins

By Kay Wilson

Elizabeth and Kathryn [pseudonyms] are identical twin sisters whom I had the pleasure of meeting and interviewing over twenty years ago when I was living in the southern United States. Many of us were experiencing a type of awakening in the late 1980s and were cautiously reaching out to others in search for answers as to what was happening to us. Our meeting was one of sharing and getting to know one another. We were quite happy to have met one another, and I remember both women being cautious and reserved about what they shared with me. Since that time, Kathryn and I have kept in touch with each other by mail and she has kept me updated about her sister, Elizabeth.

Both women come from a family where education and teaching are the norm. Before her death, their mother was in the process of completing her doctorate degree in education. Kathryn holds a B.S. degree in education while Elizabeth holds two B.S. degrees; one in education and the other in special education. Both women graduated from a prestigious southern University and were educators for nearly 30 years; they are married and have children as well as grandchildren.

Kathryn and Elizabeth have had life-long sightings of unusual shaped craft ranging from triangular shaped to disc shaped to cylindrical shaped. The reports they shared with me described these craft as being very large and totally silent. Some of the craft emitted very bright lights and at times appeared to be following them.

As is the case with this phenomenon - abductions by aliens - it appears that one or both parents may also have been involved; at the very least, both parents reported having seen UFOs or what we refer to today as extraterrestrial appearing craft. Their mother actually drew a picture of the craft she saw and showed it to her daughters when she was hospitalized for a potentially life-threatening condition. It was not until that moment that her daughters ever knew she had witnessed such an event. Their mother kept silent for many, many years about what she saw because she did not want to be committed to what she referred to as a "psycho ward." I believe she probably made the correct decision for the time and location she was living in. Fortunately, our culture has changed and Elizabeth and Kathryn now feel a bit more comfortable about sharing their experiences.

When Elizabeth and Kathryn were young girls, they experienced what has come to be known as "missing time"(1) while they were playing near their favorite lake. Not having realized how long they had been gone, their parents were quite worried and distressed when the girls finally returned home. They were scolded because their parents feared they had been bitten by a snake. When Kathryn looked down at her ankle, she noticed a bloody area on it and thought she had indeed been bitten by a snake, although she did not remember seeing a snake. It was a very frightening experience for the whole family.

As the girls grew, it became apparent to both of them that Elizabeth was exhibiting psychic abilities, in that prior to a tragedy occurring, she would describe feeling or sensing a "dark cloud" over her. Her latest occurrence with this phenomenon involved a relative dying and Elizabeth already knowing about the death. It is quite distressing to Elizabeth to experience this, even after all of the years it has been occurring. Paranormal activity appears to also be the norm for Elizabeth. This article continues with some of the unusual abduction related events that Elizabeth feels comfortable sharing at this point in her life.

In Elizabeth's Words

"I am an abductee who has had life-long experiences. When I was about eight years old, I saw a Being in the woods and I experienced what is referred to now as missing time. During this experience, my parents were aware that I was missing and became very worried about me. I remember another time while I was at school. I was looking at the chalkboard when I suddenly saw a Being with black, wrinkly skin."

"Another experience I had involved a Being who was wearing a hood and had almond shaped, black eyes. During this experience, I felt that I was on another world because I could see the Earth in space down below me. While I was on this unknown world or in this unknown place, I saw other humans around me. I also saw devices that looked like conveyor belts. There was fire or something that looked like fire, and a little girl. I had to pick up the little girl in order to keep her safe from the fire. When I did, I felt as if she were my child."

"When I was brought back home, I remember lying on the floor. When I got up the next morning, my doll that I slept with, suddenly appeared to have black, almond shaped eyes. Seeing her face upset me so much that I beat my doll to disfigure her."

"My experiences continued into my adult years and I remember one very frightening sighting. It occurred on April 2, 1996. I saw a large triangular-shaped craft while I was driving in my pickup truck on a rural highway near a field that had tall trees around it. This craft was larger than a football field and may have actually been as large as two football fields. Despite its large size, the craft was totally silent as it traveled from West to East."(2)

"I got out of my truck and as I stood next to it, I watched this enormous triangular shaped craft move overhead. As I did, I saw a domed-shaped structure on the top of the craft. The bottom of the craft had orange lights that emitted orange beams of light from underneath it. I was so scared, I couldn't move so I just stood next to my truck and watched the craft move silently overhead. The craft was so low, it almost touched the tops of the streetlights. I watched the craft for about 30 seconds to one minute as it moved behind the trees."

Paranormal Activity

"I have a difficult time sleeping at night, and many nights I do not sleep at all. I hear "voices" in my house sometimes, and I see balls of fire or balls of light move down the hallway in my home. At times, when I'm the only one home and I go to bed at night, the bathroom light, which I am certain I turned off, comes back on by itself. I will get up and turn it off again, and again, it will come back on by itself. I sometimes see "people" who seem to want me to go with them, but I constantly tell them "no" and "to go away and leave me alone." One time, I saw one of these Beings peering into my room through the blinds at night and I was terrified. There are times when I feel that no one can know the hell I have been through."

A Striking Anomaly

One of the most striking things to me about the case of Elizabeth and Kathryn - identical twins - is that Kathryn seems to enjoy good health while Elizabeth has had several major surgeries during her life and sadly, is now battling cancer. Although I am not a scientist involved in twin studies, I know this is an anomaly worth investigating further since both women were born, raised and lived in the same city, and remained living in close proximity to one another their entire lives. I suspect that Elizabeth's poor health may be a direct effect of her abduction encounters, and this would not be the first time I and other abduction researchers have come across this finding. It is clear that further research is warranted in this particular case.(3)

Mother's Drawing and her account from a letter sent to me by Kathryn in August of 2011

"Here is the picture that my mother drew years after she saw the craft. She was afraid to tell anyone for fear that she would be put in a mental institution. She was in the hospital for blood clots in her legs and she saw this craft float by her second or third story window as she was looking out. It was during spring break sometime in the 1970s...The door on the craft was not seen. She said she drew it there because they [the Beings inside] had to get in and out somehow.

Mother was working on her doctorate, so you could say she was well educated. She had never seen, heard or read about UFOs. She wasn't one to believe in such, but she did see this craft and then draw this..."

NOTES

(1) "Missing Time" is a term that was coined by abduction researcher Budd Hopkins and is also the title of his first book on the subject of alien abductions. It is often reported in connection with close encounters with UFOs and describes a gap in time that the subject cannot account for. The amount of time can range from a few minutes to hours or in rare cases, days.

Health Problems and Abductees:

This is an anomaly that abduction researchers, particularly Budd Hopkins and David Jacobs, noticed early on, especially involving female abductees' reproductive health issues.
