PASCAGOULA-THE CLOSEST ENCOUNTER: MY STORY

by Calvin Parker

  CALVIN:

  He leaves and I’m paralyzed. You’re paralyzed?

  CALVIN:

  He’s back out the door.

  BUDD: Okay.

  CALVIN:

  I’m paralyzed and she gets up and is she pissed.

  BUDD:

  Is she pissed, did you hurt her? CALVIN:

  Oh, she’s mad, she’s hurt, she’s hurt bad. And she scratched me around the eyes, fingernails and I can’t move and they were ripping my eyes, fingernails and she’s still ripping them and all I can think of was I’ll get to where I move again.

  BUDD:

  Did you close your eyes to protect your eyes?

  CALVIN:

  No, I sit there staring at her; I couldn’t even blink my eyes. BUDD:

  But she scratches your eyeballs? Uh, uh. My eyelids, eyebrows, there’s blood coming from there. Some kind of light, a strong white light, then she just talked to me, but she wasn’t moving her mouth but she was talking to me.

  BUDD:

  What did she say to you? CALVIN:

  She didn’t say nothing to me, she’s pulling, she’s pulling thoughts out of my head, everything that I know and she’s pulling thoughts out and then she tells me, she tells me she’s, you’re not gonna be any danger to us. And I remember (inaudible)…who is us. She said you will no longer be a threat, I didn’t know I was a threat to start with, but she can bet that I will be a threat from now on. She’s evil, she’s really evil, I can see destruction, I’m able to see things that I’ve never seen before.

  BUDD:

  What are you seeing? CALVIN :

  Another light shines on me and it’s like it’s only now it’s beautiful and she’s afraid of this light, she’s really afraid of this light, she’s turning her head now, she’s getting back into the corner and trying to get at the door where this light’s shining on me. And through this light I can see things, current things, the past, I know things that I’ve never known. It’s like sitting back and watching a movie and been able to see into the future through this light.

  BUDD :

  What are some of the things you see? I feel a real warm sensation, the best feeling I ever had in my life. Thank God I’m finally dead, I’m dead. And my soul is leaving my body. She’s actually killed me; my soul’s leaving my body. In this light, this strong light, I’m glad it’s all over now; I’ll finally get some peace. And then I see angels, nothing like I’ve ever seen before. Oh, oh. I’m being pulled back down now; I’m being pulled back into my body. I don’t wanna go back into my body I just wanna leave; I want to go into this light, (inaudible)..it just felt so good, let me go back into this light, don’t send me back, Lord please take me, take me. Let me come to you, I don’t want to go back, but I have to go back, I have to fight her. I have to individually hunt her down and her kind and this is just a thought that has come into my head. I have to find them and sort them out and I have to kill them. I have to go back, I must go back (inaudible)…I must go back to my body now, I must, I’m back in my body. I’m in a standing position. It’s not right to hate your fellow man, but I hate what’s going on. It’s like (inaudible)…what’s she’s afraid of and I see the destruction, I see the world being changed for what it’s like. I see them possessing bodies, taking them over, again I have a power to fight it, I have the power to (inaudible)…..again I can see through her now and the light’s gone. I’m at total peace with myself. She turned around and looked, she won’t come around now, she’s backing away, she’s back through the door and she’s gone, she’s out of sight. I feel brave, I’m bleeding. I’ve bled so much, I’m hurting, my ribs, they feel like they’ve been broken and I feel violated, but I feel at peace now, I feel it’s over now. And they escort me out the door, the same one that brought me in and I’m back into this little ball and I’m being carried back out. I see Charlie still standing on the pier, I’m still in this little ball and I see Charlie on the pier and he’s standing there as though he’s paralyzed, Charlie’s paralyzed. I’m thinking well, what did they do to him. And then they put me down, an I’m facing the water and my arms are stretched out over the water and Charlie runs to me (inaudible) and says are you okay, what happened, are you okay, are you alright, what’s wrong. And Charlie’s shaking me, he’s shaking me like I’ve never been shook before and I could feel Charlie shaking me and I could see Charlie shaking me, but I can’t react. And Charlie’s wanting to talk, he’s talking to me and I don’t want to talk no more.

  BUDD:

  Is it dark?

  CALVIN: Uh, uh.

  BUDD:

  Is it dark out?

  CALVIN:

  Very dark. But there’s a full moon. The light’s shining from the moon.

  BUDD:

  Was it this dark when you went inside?

  CALVIN:

  No, no, no. The lights were a lot brighter.

  BUDD:

  It was after sunset when you went in? CALVIN:

  Yeah. We are going back towards the car, there’s nothing there anymore, I didn’t see it leave, I didn’t see it leave, there’s nothing there anymore. (inaudible)….there’s my car and the windows are shattered on my car. I told Charlie, I’ll have a drink of that whiskey now and he’s getting the bottle for me and it’s broke, it’s running over the car and then I felt the hate again, a spiteful hate. And if they mess with me now they’ll really piss me off, if they mess with my new car.

  BUDD :

  What did (inaudible)? The windows are broke out, one of the windows, windows on the drivers side. There’s a scratch on the door. The car won’t crank, it took a long time to crank it. I don’t wanna talk no more.

  BUDD :

  Okay. This is what I’m gonna do. I just want you to take a very easy deep breath, I just want you to take a really wonderful, easy deep breath.

  CALVIN:

  (Calvin can be heard taking a very deep breath). BUDD:

  You can feel your lungs expanding and contracting, a great sense of relief. I’m gonna put my hand back on your shoulder, this is gonna (inaudible)…here with me, here with us, your friends. And you’ll feel just fine. Calvin, it’s all in the past, it’s 20 years ago and you’re okay now. (inaudible)....wake you up by counting from 5 back to 1, at 1 you’ll be fully awake, Before you do that, before we do that I want you to know that when you wake up your gonna feel a great sense of relief. Lot’s of pieces of this that have been missing, they haven’t made sense, they are now coming together. It will give you a sense that parts of your life that have been taken from you or hidden from you now belong to you, that you can remember. And above everything you’re gonna realise that however strong you were as a young man of 19, where you are now 20 years later, you’re gonna realise because you came through all of these experiences that you are even stronger than you thought you were. That you are a very, very strong man, very, very full of resilience, you’re a survivor, you can go through all kinds of things and survive because you’ve got a tremendous resources. You’re gonna have some kind of secret inner-pride, that you’ve got these resources, that you area strong as you are, you’ve come through all this. These other things that you are only remembering pieces of now, that we’ve been talking about, when you were a little boy with this woman at the window and other times, when you were a child, all these other things, when you father saw them at the party, the meeting, all these other things that you now are gonna remembering more of. You’re gonna realise that whatever those experiences were you’ve survived them too, you’ve come through them all, you’ve come through them well because you’ve got tremendous resources, tremendous strength. You’re gonna feel very, very good about your friends and other people who’ve had these experiences. You’re gonna feel closer than ever to people who’ve gone through this. People like Bill, Jan and Anne have been here. Some of whom have had experiences like this, you’ll feel a new bond, a new closeness, that’s gonna be massive gain you’ll have out of all this of this. And above all you’ll feel that strength, that you�
�ve survived all this and that you’re strong, you can share this with Waynette and it’s gonna make things even better (inaudible)…..You’re gonna feel relieved and you’ll sleep well tonight, you’ll allow yourself to remember these other pieces of experiences whenever you need to, but above all you’ll feel that strength that you have inside. So at 5 you are starting to wake up, 4 waking up, 3 almost awake, 2, 1 fully awake.

  CALVIN:

  I feel like I could go back to sleep. (sighs).

  BUDD:

  You’ve been (inaudible)…didn’t you?

  CALVIN:

  Yeah, mmmm. That’s pretty most of the things.

  BUDD:

  You’re a tough hombre though man, you came through a lot of stuff.

  CALVIN:

  Yeah, that’s funny.

  BUDD:

  What’s that? CALVIN:

  How you could remember things that, I could never remember. As though they are just locked away.

  BUDD:

  (inaudible)……How long do you think you went?

  CALVIN:

  About 5 minutes.

  BUDD:

  About an hour and a half all of it.

  END OF TAPE. This is the first time I’ve known what was on the tape. I had planned to meet with Budd on a regular base but never did. I regret now not doing so; lot more could have been uncovered from the hypnosis sessions. All down the years I didn’t know about a lot of this and I don’t know why I didn’t remember any of this. I went to Florida to talk to Budd about some missing time because I knew he had written a book about it. But I didn’t realise what this would lead to. It’s a chapter in my life that I didn’t know if I wanted to remember or not.

  Today after reading this 24thApril 2018 I loaded up and went fishing with my wife and friend. They asked me what was wrong and I just sat by myself and said nothing, my mind was every where but fishing. I think my wife knew what I was going through because she had started reading the transcripts and couldn’t finish them because it upset her so bad. This whole event has torn up my family for many years and I didn't realise until today but it even affected my younger brother which I would have died trying to protect. I remember when we were young, him waking up scared. Now I know why but when you are five or six yeas old and get scared at night, everyone in the house just thinks your imagination is running wild but you need to take a closer look it might be more than just a dream.

  There was a time in my life where I would get up the next morning and have cuts and scratches on me and I would just think I did it while sleeping. Since reading this transcript it has jogged my memory somewhat and has got me thinking. My memory is slowly going over things in my head and starting to come back a little bit at a time. I know it will most likely take years to get my memory back, if I live that long, but if I died today this has answered a lot of questions for me. My plan from now on is to find out all I can so maybe I can help someone going through the very same thing.

  Most people going through this don’t want to talk about it because of being ridiculed. I never cared if people believed me or not. But I have to say that I guess I did or I wouldn’t have kept a lot of this to myself. This kind of stuff keeps you on an emotional train wreck and makes a person moody that is not good company for anyone around you.

  At first I didn’t want to write this book but now I am glad I did because if I hadn’t I would never have got to listen to this hypnosis session with Budd Hopkins. I have to thank Philip Mantle again because without him and his connections I would have never got to hear this.

  There was a lot of the story that I didn’t tell when I came off the craft with Charlie, that was because he was trying to protect me from the publicity because he knew I didn’t like most people and couldn’t handle it. He knew the hell I went through that night but still he kept his silence and I appreciate him for that. Soon afterwards we grew apart and he went his way and I went mine, very rarely seeing each other. If I bumped into some of his family in Laurel I would always ask about him.

  Life went on for both of us but I wish before he passed away I would have got a chance to talk to him in detail a little more about things. Life goes on and I am still on the hunt for information and sooner or later I will find it. For now I will just sit back and keep putting the puzzle together.

  I got a job in Pascagoula, Mississippi working for a friend of mine. So we moved there, bought a place on the river, not too far from where Charlie and I was abducted. I can be there in a boat in twenty five minutes. Speaking of Charlie, we really didn’t see each other or speak much, from the time I moved back to Sandersville, Mississippi. We both just went different ways. Now I lived about fifteen minutes from him but we still don’t see each other

  Family UFO sightings The next incident involves someone I know very well. This lady would give me a good spanking, one you would never forget. If I said a bad word she would wash my mouth out with soap. You didn’t talk back to her or lie She was really strict and always taught her kids to respect others and to always do the right thing. This person was my mother, Betty Lou Parker Garrard. My mother was living on a big farm in Ellisville, Mississippi. She had cattle, catfish ponds, a bunch of dogs and big gardens. She loved the farm and worked hard keeping it in good shape. She has never asked me about my incident in Pascagoula with Charlie, because she knew it bothered me. If we talked about it, it was because I brought it up. One night her dogs starting barking like mad and they woke her up. My brother woke up too. To see what was going on they looked out of the back door to see all of the cattle running to the front of the field from the back. That was when they saw some really bright lights, shining on the ground from above. Still not knowing what it was my mom was worried about her livestock. Mom and my brother went to take a closer look, nothing scares my mother, but my brother was scared to death. She said it was a big craft that was bright in color. That scared her. She kept saying to herself, “Calvin’s not here, Calvin’s not here”. Then, the UFO lifted up about one hundred feet in the air and then shot off, straight up. The next morning they went out to check on everything to make sure it was alright for the livestock and there was a mark in the field and one head of cattle missing. I don’t know if they took the cow or it ran away but it was never seen again. My brother tried to tell me about it a year before he passed away. That’s how I found out about this incident. I asked mom about it just a couple years ago. She didn’t tell me right then and there because of the effect it might have on me. If I ever believed anyone when talking about such incidents, it would be my mom.

  There was one more incident and it involved my father-in-law. This is a man that is as honest as the day is long. He raised his kids so tight that if one of them ever talked back or crossed him he would beat their ass. He never believed me when the incident happened in 1973 and the reason I know this is because he told me he didn’t. Like I said, he didn’t beat about the bush. I really liked him and he is one of the most honest men I have ever known. He had over one hundred acres of land. Worked at the same job for years until he retired. Then he grew his garden and worked on his catfish ponds. He bought a ‘dozer’ to keep his land in good shape. There was an artesian water well that free-flowed a full six inches stream of water. He was planning to make a big swimming hole there and charge people to go there and swim. It was full of fish and he worked until almost dark there one evening. He said that he saw a bright light and it came down straight over the pond and the water looked like it was boiling while he was watching it. Then all the fish came to the top of the water, it killed every fish in the pond. He said that it took out all the oxygen in the water. Waynett and I was over there the next day and he said “son, I am sorry that I didn’t believe you but I do now because seeing is believing.” Like I said, he is a man of few words and that was all he said about it. He never brought it up again. I know that I wasn’t involved in the incidents with my mom and brother and my father-in-law, but I just wanted to provide this information as I’m sure there is a reason why other membe
rs of my family have had sightings as well but I just don’t know what that reason is. I really believe that there a reason behind all this and one day I will know the truth and so will the world. I am still on a quest for the truth. Someone asked me once if it bothered me if someone didn’t believe me. I told them to look around at the world, the trees, the flowers, life itself. There are people that still don’t believe in God despite all the evidence he has provided. So no, it doesn’t bother me, I have nothing to prove to anyone. I am writing this book because in the last year or so everyone I see asks me to. I’m not doing it to prove a point and I know the story is true. Also, my wife and daughter wanted me to. Waynett and I have talked about it for a long time. It seemed everywhere we go people ask why I have not wrote a book. So Waynett and I decided it was time and that people really do care about me and wanted to know if I was okay and hear the story from my point of view.

  ****** CHAPTER THIRTEEN

  Aftermath part two Someone once asked me how my life was affected by the lone encounter experience. Well, my life took a completely different turn from what I had planned. For example, everyone used to call me a country boy before this happened. I loved going to horse shows, hunting and fishing. I was a very typical country boy and proud of it. I always had a garden and I use to say my prayers on a regular basis. I was the kind of person you would want your daughter to go out with as I always worked hard and kept the same job.

  After all this happened to me and Charlie I couldn’t stay focused for very long on anything and as much as I enjoyed life I never planned ahead after this. I took each day as it came.

  I saw everything it put my family through, this was really hard to deal with. The fear on their faces, trying not to ask me anything that would upset me. When it comes down to it most people have their family and a few close friends that they can reply on and I was the same.
