Abductee

Abductee is a person who claims to have been taken against their will by entities, often described as extraterrestrials, during an alleged abduction event.

The concept of an abductee originates from mid-20th century accounts and ufology, where individuals report experiences of being seized, subjected to medical examinations or other unusual treatments, and then returned with little or no memory of the event. Science generally approaches these stories with skepticism, attributing them to psychological phenomena such as sleep paralysis, false memories, or cultural influences, while folklore and popular media have helped shape the enduring narrative of alien abductions.

On this site, readers submit their own first-person accounts of abduction experiences that are reviewed by a jury of fellow readers.
