Magazine Overview

This issue of 'Les grands cas mondiaux', specifically issue number 2 of volume 3, dated September 1977, focuses on the Aveley abduction case, presented as the second part of a series. The magazine is published by Flying Saucer Review and is in French.

Apparition d'un fantôme

The article begins by recounting two childhood experiences of John, one of the primary witnesses. During his childhood, John twice encountered a spectral figure. The first instance occurred in the cellar of a house destroyed by bombing, where he saw a small, dust-covered child who then disappeared. The second incident happened while John was helping set up a stage for a play; he saw a small boy near the stage who vanished. Later, John learned that a child had died in a well behind the theatre.

Des rêves et séances d'hypnose révèlent l'enlèvement

Following an initial interview, questions arose about John and Elaine's experiences, particularly concerning strange dreams. John recalled fragmented dreams of being 'operated on' by 'gnomes' or 'little ugly things' and undergoing 'tests'. Elaine remembered a dream of lying on an operating table, unable to move, with a small person in a white coat standing beside her. These dream fragments, along with details of a 'green fog' encountered during a journey, prompted the investigators to arrange hypnosis sessions for regression.

Dr. Bernard E. Finch, a general practitioner and collaborator with Flying Saucer Review, facilitated the arrangement. The hypnotist identified was Dr. Leonard Wilder, a surgeon dentist with 20 years of experience in hypnosis for reincarnation research. Dr. Wilder had co-authored a book titled 'Lives to Remember' with psychiatry researcher Peter Underwood. The first hypnosis session was scheduled for Sunday, September 25, 1977, at Dr. Finch's home.

La seconde interview

Before the hypnosis sessions, a second interview was conducted on Monday, September 19, 1977, to clarify various points. Elaine reported recalling more details about their experience. She remembered being in a blue car with John, herself, and Kevin, near a large room with curved walls. The car was then on a platform facing some machinery, with men in grey suits nearby. She also recalled entering a room with a small, 'ugly' being. Elaine was asked to draw the being, the room with the machinery, and the room with the car. While she was drawing, John interjected, stating she wasn't drawing the arms and legs correctly, and proceeded to draw them himself. When asked how he knew what the being looked like, John stated he could now remember it after hearing Elaine's description, recalling being on an operating table surrounded by 'entities'.

Les séances d'hypnose

John agreed to be hypnotized to understand the 'three lost hours'. Elaine, however, was reluctant to be hypnotized and preferred to forget the experience. They also decided not to have Kevin hypnotized at that time. Three hypnosis sessions took place over a month.

Première séance: Dimanche 25 septembre 1977

John was anxious before this session. Present were Dr. Wilder, Dr. Finch, Gordon Creighton, Barry King, and the author. Dr. Wilder began by asking John to explain the incident. John was hypnotized three times, but no regression occurred. There was an exercise of arm levitation. Dr. Wilder noted John was a good subject, and despite no regression, John seemed to recall strange impressions, including seeing a large circular object of blue color with two arms, and an old man in a robe. He also recalled being in a car with Kevin and Elaine, hearing about smoke and a burning radio, and then nothing after pulling electrical wires.

2ème séance: 2 octobre 1977

John was more relaxed. The same participants were present, except for Barry King. Dr. Wilder performed arm levitation and then regressed John to ages 13, 11, 5, and 3. John's voice changed to reflect his age. He was then led to relive a past life as 'Jim Dayliss' in 1640, plowing a field, speaking in an old country dialect.

3e séance: dimanche 16 octobre 1977

Elaine attended as an observer, along with Philip, Gordon Greighton's son. The session began with John being regressed to childhood ages (10, 6, 3, 1). He was then asked to relive a past life as 'Jim Dayliss' in 1640, speaking in a strong country dialect. Returning to the present, John recounted the green fog encounter, describing a bright light that pierced the fog and moved ahead of the car. He remembered getting into the light and then finding themselves in a large room.

John described being examined by an 'examiner' who was smaller than them, with no clear facial features or hair, but large eyes. The examiner operated a machine. John stated they took nothing from him (skin, blood, etc.) and had no memory of hair or clothing. He described the beings as having arms and legs, covered in something like fur. He recalled the beings saying they needed humans as 'hosts' and that they 'help' and 'are us'.

When asked about their origin, the beings stated it was 'useless' to tell him and that knowing where they came from would be 'of no use'. They also indicated they were always present for observation. John's responses became vague when asked about their bases, and he eventually stopped responding. Dr. Wilder terminated the session. John reported feeling blocked after the hypnosis, unable to reveal more details after being asked about the bases.

Elaine felt an urge to paint, depicting a person with a tunic, a city behind, and hills. This image corresponded with John's earlier impressions. Both John and Elaine were asked to draw what they remembered independently, and their drawings were similar.

Notes sur les séances d'hypnose

Dr. Wilder concluded that further hypnosis sessions were unnecessary, as most memories surfaced after the sessions rather than during them. He noted that Elaine still refused regression but that her story was known. Important descriptions of the interior of the craft were omitted from the summary and reserved for a later part of the report.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are UFO encounters, alien abduction, and the use of hypnosis as a tool for uncovering suppressed memories and past lives. The magazine presents the case of John and Elaine in a detailed, investigative manner, relying on witness testimony and hypnotic regression to explore the phenomena. The editorial stance appears to be one of serious inquiry into unexplained events, aiming to document and analyze such cases thoroughly.
