HIGH STRANGENESS

Experiencers documentary illustrates disturbing facets of our reality

Sceptical or not, it is well worth watching this documentary on the work of the controversial Harvard psychiatrist, John E. Mack, who treated hundreds of patients who claimed to have been abducted by extra terrestrials.

Investigative journalist Stephane Allix draws on interviews he conducted with Dr Mack who caused a stir when he said that the "experiencers" who gave independent accounts of abduction in the US and elsewhere were "of sound mind, sincere and extremely disturbed by their experiences".

Dr Mack found consistency in their descriptions of aliens and "a robust kind of truth" to them. Allix interviewed Dr Mack in the year before his death in late 2004.
He shows footage of Dr Mack's mid-1990s visit to a school near Harare, Zimbabwe, where 60 primary students told how two small figures emerged from two UFOs that hovered over the playground and "came out as if floating (or) hopping towards us".

Allix spoke to others about their experience.
Though one woman says she felt safe and "surrounded by love", another was angered when she realised that the "small grey beings" that had come for her since she was a child, were now about to take her two young sons too.
She had become aware of the abductions at 19 and decided that "no matter where I went they could find me and nobody could help me".
