OK, we're live, and you are Christopher Young of San Francisco, and you
were abducted, when?

First i believe when i was four years old

I take it you don't have conscious recall of that particular
experience, or do you?

I recall that something unusual happened when i was in the
mountains on an outing with my parents and the girl scout troop
that my mother was leader of. I remember the day

But that wasn't the experience that actually led you to seek help in
finding out whether or not you were an abductee, right?

That is correct.

Can you tell me about the one that made you think you had experienced
something really bizarre?

Yes,it was when i was twenty .i was living in jamestown ca. at the
time with three other young people in an old house outside of town.
one night i returned to my bedroom after getting up to use the
bathroom .i turned off the light ,got in my bed and laid on my left
side. as soon as i layed down i "knew" there was something in the
room with me.i could "feel" it thinking.i immediatley became aware
of something moving to me from across the room and it stood on the
foam pad right in front of my face and made a depression there that
my hands which were up by my face started to roll into.then
suddenly there was a weight on top of my body that pushed me down
through the support of my pad in to the floor and held me there
paralyzed.there also was a loud sound in my upturned right ear
which sounded as though something where yelling or shouting or
exhaling right againest my ear. it was one long sound though there
was no variation in timbre ,freqeuncy or pitch and it continued for
the entire time that i could not move.

Do you recall this part of the event without hypnosis?

yes most definitely!!!! i didn't sleep for a year or two afterwards
without a light on in my room or a light shining into my room from
another

And that was the end of that part of the experience, that you recall
consciously or was there more to it?

there was more.a few days before i moved out of that place in fear
of whatever it was that had happened ,i was watching t.v. in the
living room in broad day light when i felt as if something were
touching the insides of my thighs , like there was something
invisible there trying to push them apart. i now do not believe
that there was actually some time there at the moment but that it
was a strong subliminal memory of having been touched there. also
when i was moving back down to college i had a similar sensation
across my upper abdomen while i was driving a car.

How old are you now?

32 yrs old

When it first happened to you (in your bed), what did you think had
happened?

while it was happening i thought first that this isn't possible,
this can't be happening,although i didn't know what was
happening.the next thing i thought was that i was dead meat to
whatever was holding me down.i struggled to move but there was no
motor coordination at all! i was so terrified at this that i felt
as if i were beginning to leave my body involuntarily to escape the
experiance ,this scared me even more so i focused on one word, the
word"no" and kept repeating it in hopes it would stop.when it did
stop i moved immediately ,actually jumped up from bed and turned on
the light. it was five minutes after 3 am. when i had layed down it
was just after midnight.but pls believe me this was no "dream" i
have never had any concious memory of any thing like this or the
way it made me feel before or since. at the time i thought it was
perhaps a "ghost?'" or poltergeist?" i had no explanation for it
although something strange did happen at the house a few weeks
earlier that we all atributed to a poltergeist.

My girlfriend often has the experience (and I have had it once or twice
myself) of just drifting off to sleep when she feels as if something is
pushing on her and she tries to move and scream and can't do either
one...then she has the sensation of trying to "wake up" and its a
physical ordeal...she also feels as if she's being smothered...this is
actually a common experience, some call it "being ridden by the old
hag." I don't suppose there's any possibility that that could be an
answer to that experience (also called a hypnopompic dream)?

i don't believe that this ,was one of those. it happened while i
was still quite aware,the feeling of "knowing"there was a presence
in the room with me that it was physically standing next to my face
and made a deppression on my foam pad down to the floor and the
fact that it didn't feel as if i were just unable to move but being
pHysically pushed,hard,down through the support of my bed into the
floor so hard it knocked the air out of me!

What made you finally seek help or answers?

this wasn't the end of my experiance . it followed me to where i
moved and ten months later i had a u.f.o. sighting over
modesto,cal. at very close range which by the way i didn't
associate with my prior experiances.there was also a vivid "dream"
i had where something had gone into my conciousness made me feel
euphoric and made my life pass before my eyes while they re-
experianced it with me as if they were looking for something(this
was also associated with a sighting in the dream.they also did
something to the back of my head. the memory of these things
persisted in bothering me for years.at the time i moved away from
rural areas thinking that these things would stop.i didn't know
what was happing to me. i began having panic attaks after the one
experiance in jamestown and i had never had them before .all of
this was quite unsettling and i could'nt figure out why when i was
having one on the best times of my life that something so strange
would start plaguing me.moving to s.f. seemed to do the trick for a
number of years .i didn't always think about these things everyday
i found plenty to distract myself,however they re emerged and i
started having a strong feeling that there was something very
important about these things and was compelled to examine them
further i still did not really re-late these things together but
they seemed like un-correlated events.i got in touch with
m.u.f.o.n. and reported my sighting to dr.haines back in 81 i think
and also told him of these other strange events ,i don't know why i
even relayed them to him at the same time but in felt some how as
if they were important.he listened ut did not know at the time what
to make f any of them but the sighting which he told me that two
other people on the coast saw the same object during the same time
period.i didn't get any answers at the time and went away feeling
really weird.

How would you rate your "UFO IQ" at the time? How aware were you of the
subject

in general and of abductions in particular, and had you seen the movie
"Interrupted Journey" about the Betty and Barney Hill incident?

Zilch

Did Dr. Haines recommend you to any other researchers?

no,unfortunatley ,i don't think at the time he was involved as much
in abductions as he seems to be now


Since then, you have been hypnotically regressed, right?

Yes

By who?

By kathy mccampbell the daughther of Mr. James McCampbell

And what came out of those sessions that you did not know before?

Where do you want me to begin?

Well, from the first experience you had when you were small, but just
kind of basic overview of events, if you could...

just the facts ,mam. o.k. i do go on. i was with the group of girls
and then i remember being away from them,then i became very dizzy,i
remember being carried then seeing something come down from above
the tree line.iwas handed up into something(it was on the ground)it
looked round and silver kind of like a diving bell and was not that
large.i opened my eyes,there were three of them on either side of
me looking down at me.the next thing i know is that i'm sitting up
but i am leaning againest on eof them who is at my side.he is
holding something on top and at the back of my head

Can you describe them, real quick?

they were small,about the size i was.their heads were quite large
compared to their bodies.the head was round (not like pictures i
have seen) almost like a compressed egg shape ,the eyes were quite
large and i believe they have something of an iris or iris like at
the bottom inside their eyes which is large and feathery not tight
like ours,they seem to have some sort of boney protrusion from
their forehead at eyebrow level they were very thin and delicate

What color?

Not sure ,some sort of neutral color ,grayish -beige

Were you afraid of them?

i was at first sort of in shock i guess but i think that i was less
afraid of them during this exeperiance than the ones when i was
older.i got up and ran around inside this place and went into
another room and they ran after me and pulled me back into the exam
room

Any other details about the exam room you can remember?

sure lots and also what they did to me. the entire place seemed to
be black and shiney like gun metal and everything was made out of
it,even some of the instruments they used on me

What did they do to you?

the first one put some object on the top and back of my head that
was round and flat and seemed sort of soft ,it was about the size
of a "yamika" i guess but it was made of this black metal stuff and
was about a 1/4-1/2 inch thick.it took it off and walked over and
showed it to the others,one came over to me and put a small round
black metal again,object that fit in the palm of my hand into my
left hand and he backed up as i was surroundee by a light which
originated from above ny head,they then had me lay down on this
table whose edge i was sitting on and a large flat surface(black
metal) came down from above me and slowly i began to see intense
colors in the surface that seemed to be like neon coming through
dark glass and these colors undulated.then one came over and
introduced himself after they talked for a minute.he didn't say
what his or their names were but merely stated that "we're the ones
who have you now"this i hought under hypnosis was sort of
redundent.i got away from these ones and ran into another room that
had a round wall a chairs or seats rather facing a panel which
extended off the wall i stuck my head in between two of the seats
and saw that there were what "appeared " to be open books in front
of them and there were beings in the seats on either side of me who
turned and looked at me.at that moment the ones who had been
examining me grabbed me by my right shoulder and calf and started
to pull me back away into the other room.one put it's face right up
againest mine and asked if i were a boy,(some friends of mine say
well if their intelligent they shouldn't have to ask )any way they
put me back up on the table without my clothes and examined my
genitalia rather closely but this was not sexuall,the last thing i
remember them doing is then putting some sort of metallic cover
which fitted to the table and covered my feet and ankles then they
brought another piece which covered my calfs and knees and so on
and so on until i was completely covered them i came out of trance
spontaeniously and couldn't shake this scary feeling for a couple
of days

Its getting late, but I want to ask you one more question...Budd says
he;s writing a book called "Aftermath"...what was the aftermath of your
entire experience for you, and what does the experience mean to you?

it has changed the way i look at the world for one,since realizing
what i now believe to be the truth of my experiances(and i don't
expect that everyone should just accecpt all this )but i know what
it has done to me to remember this now.i feel as if a great load
has been taken off my shoulders,i have become much more centered,i
have recently lost 55 lbs and now work out again . i believe that
this is not over ,that it is an evolving process in my conciousness
and that more is coming soon,what i am not sure but i tell you one
thing since i have come out there are plenty of people who are
willing to tell me what it is and i don't buy much of it!

Do you agree with Whitley Strieber's stance that it MIGHT be real
aliens, then again it might be something different altogether?

it's possible,i don't know where they are from and i can't remember
them ever telling me,this extra-dimensional thing is interesting
although i don't see how being extra-dim. and extra-terrs. have to
be mutually exclusive.

My main objective was to use this as a starting point for discussion on
our board, as obviously we can't cover everything in your experience
online. I think we've got a lot to go on, and I hope you'll be able to
answer some questions from some of the other users. Thanks a lot for
your time!

Thank you,i enjoy sharing with those who are interested

And believe me, we are interested.
