Liverpool Woman Says She is Afraid to Leave the House Following Series of UFO Encounters

Sacha Christie, 51, of Liverpool, Merseyside, England, told the Daily Star earlier this month that she has been left terrified of leaving her house for fear of being abducted following a series of UFO encounters going back decades.

Christie has had nine major encounters in her lifetime, she said, and the scariest experience so far was on a family holiday to Wales in 1997.

According to Christie, that encounter involved seeing bright lights in the sky and a barefoot "alien" that bumped into her as it ran past.

"Myself, my ex-partner Steve, my son Louie, and two or three of Steve’s family members went on a short break to a small remote cottage," she said. "At one point Steve was pointing at these fluorescent lights in the sky that seemed to be getting bigger the closer they moved towards us."

As the clouds were so low, the shadows and shape of the UFO made it look like bright rippling jellyfish in the sky.
Everyone had come out to look at this point, the kids were feeling a bit nervous and the sheep in the field next to us had all eerily laid down.
Louie had told me that something had touched his foot and I believed him, but I wanted to look at the lights more, to understand what was going on.
I stood there for another minute or so, when I suddenly heard something running barefoot in the mud behind me.
All of a sudden, it bumped into me as it ran past and my chest exploded.
Before I even realized it was happening, I was running back to the house in a panic, in complete hysterical blindness, I couldn’t see where I was going.
I just knew I needed to run.

Christie struggles to explain her experiences, which have left her afraid to go outside.

"It’s very hard to explain my encounters, as it’s hard for me to believe what I’ve seen. I’ve spent my whole life trying to think of other scenarios, of things that it could be, but the only conclusion is that it’s other life forms and UFOs," she said. "Looking at the sky, it scares me, as I don’t know what I’m going to see next. But I can’t help but check the sky when I go out as it is just a habit now. It’s like I have to make sure nothing is going to fall on my head."

I used to feel safe before but seeing the UFOs so close up has removed the bubble I used to live in. I feel like there’s nothing in-between the top of my head and space. My head feels like I am in space.
The idea of us being contained in something has now completely gone. This leaves me with anxiety and I get worked up every time I need to leave the house. I am okay once I leave the house but it is getting out of the house that is a problem.
I think the anxiety stems from the holiday in Wales in 1997.
I now hate February, it’s a bad month for me. I try to stay in as much as I can during that month because I suffer with severe anxiety.

"I’m not too sure where most UFOs frequent, but it does sometimes feel like they’re always somewhere near me. I would be a millionaire if I knew why only certain people see UFOs but I think it has happened to me as I look in the sky a lot," she added. "I wish they would stop.”

Unfortunately, the trauma reported by Christie is not unusual in reported cases of repeated contact with UFOs and otherworldly beings.

In September of 2020, 45-year-old delivery driver Deshunda Johnson spoke with the Singular Fortean Society’s lead investigator Tobias Wayland about a series of frightening UFO experiences she’s had in and around Madison, Wisconsin.

During the course of that conversation, after relating several UFO sightings and a strange bedroom visitation in 2007, Johnson told the investigator about how she had sometimes awoken to find strange marks on her body when she was younger.

"There were days I would wake up with bruises on my arms. I don’t remember how I got them. It looked like three claws, like somebody had scratched me, like I was fighting something," she said. "I remember this clearly, [my mother] said to me, 'I used to wake up with those same marks on me.'"

Those marks might be explained by another experience related by Johnson.

This event, she said, took place at her childhood home in Joliet, Illinois, in 1987, when she was 12 years old.

"[The house where] we stayed at the time was in the country," she said. "There was a barn there, and some nearby houses. They’ve built a lot there now, but at the time there were a lot of fields and we had a big backyard."

I had to stay late for detention after school one day. I remember going into the house after I came home, thinking I was going to be in trouble. But nobody was home. I had to go through the garage to get into the house, and I saw the car was there, so I didn’t understand where everybody was at.
So, I started calling, “Momma! Momma!”
And I called for my sisters, but nobody answered. Just then the phone rang, and I went to go pick it up.
A robotic voice said to me, “Little girl, is your mommy or daddy home?”
I dropped the phone. The minute I dropped it, I felt sick. I felt drowsy and sleepy, and I had a headache. I laid down in the bunk bed in our room, and it was like I could not move.
I saw four little things come in the room, they were suited up—it was like a skintight, blue, protective suit—they were bald, with big, black eyes and really not much of a nose or mouth, and all I can remember is being paralyzed with fear. I was trying to fight it, I was trying to move.
Two were on either side of me, and they weren’t touching me. It was like I was levitated. I was looking at one of these things straight in its eyes, and I’m trying to fight it and I can’t move. That’s all I can remember.

Johnson later asked her sister where they were that day, but said that her sister maintains she "doesn’t know what I’m talking about."

She never watched much science fiction or absorbed similar media as a child, and it wasn't until her twenties that she started seeing representations of the beings she encountered that day.

"It’s never left my mind, and I wonder if that’s why I’m so into this stuff now," she said. "I see people talking about it, and I think 'That’s what I saw! That’s what came in the room.'"

When asked if she’d had any bedroom visitations since the one in 2007, Johnson replied, “I have not, and I pray to God I don’t again.”
