Hostage Hallucinations & UFOs
Good friend Micah Hanks has an interesting new post over at his Gralien Report, which, in part, states:
“A blog post at the Mind Hacks website today refers to a unique study published by The Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease, initially published in 1984, titled Hostage Hallucinations: Visual Imagery Induced by Isolation and Life-Threatening Stress. At a mere glance, the article is already of interest, as in many instances the ‘hallucinations’ described by victims of torture and other intense stress involve out-of-body experiences and related psychic phenomenon. However, of particular interest to Gralien Report readers is the fact that, in addition to studies done with ex-prisoners of war, victims of rape, kidnapping, terrorism and robbery, there are also two cases detailed within the report that deal with ‘UFO abductions’. The article states that ‘Case 5, involving a prototypical UFO abduction, was included in order to compare the relatively dramatic, albeit rare and controversial, hostage experiences to those reported by victims in more common verifiable hostage situations.’”
And here’s the rest of Micah’s post.

Whitley Strieber tells the story that, when he was a child, he was subject to a horrible government experiment which involved long periods of captivity in small isolated environments. The stress of this experience allegedly provoked him to have an OBE to a beautiful idyllic garden. He seems to think this was the beginning of his involvement with the Visitors.
Regardless of the objectivity of his impressions, what I would like to know is if the US government has ever conducted long-term sensory deprivation studies.
