I became a victim in mid-February 1992. One day I heard whispery voices whichseemed to come from the corner where the wall meets the ceiling. The first thing the voices said was, "She hears us." I thought I was under some kind of surveillance and that my house was being bugged, though I had done nothing to warrant that kind of situation.

I heard the voices in my car as well, and when I went outside I discovered I could still hear them. For the first four years I just experienced the voices.

During this time I met someone and we married in July 1996, and I had two children by him. During my pregnancy with my second child, the people harassing me started depriving me of my much-needed sleep.

;Immediately after my son was born I started feeling peculiar physical sensations on certain parts of my body - a sort of jabbing, poking sensation focused mainly on my buttocks, as well as an incessant itching on various parts of my body.

Because of these frightening, unexplainable things I experienced I began to isolate myself.

In July 1997 a DHS case worker came to my door saying that my then-3 year old daughter had repeatedly been brutally sexually molested by my husband.

I lost custody of my children ("failure to protect"). I divorced my husband immediately and at the same time I appealed to the supreme court in Oklahoma City to regain my parental rights. My ex-husband went to court, and was convicted and sentenced to 220 years in prison.

The latter part of 1997 was when the people harassing me started practicing some new tactics. I cried almost uncontrollably every time I saw a child and particularly a crying child. My short-term memory and concentration was (and is) severely affected.

Experiences:

1. Vivid dreams - only a few of which I remember. If I'm awakened soon after having them, I write them down.
2. Sensations of heat and cold on various parts of my body.
3. Muscle control - they can make my limbs and fingers twitch and jerk. For instance, Iwas preparing to insert my contact lens one morning and I had put the lens on the cabinet in front of me. I had the bottle of wetting solution in my hand, and they caused my whole arm to jerk down onto the cabinet, crushing my lens.
4. Senses of taste and smell have often been manipulated, giving my food and drink anentirely different taste (always unpalatable), or rarely, they will make food entirely tasteless, as if you were chewing cardboard.
5. Tactile senses - they can cause any body part to become numb or to vibrate, or to be devoid of any feeling whatsoever.
6. Pain - abdominal pain, toothaches, various stabbing pains in my body, stinging pain inmy eyes. There hasn't  been any medication that can ease the pain.
7. Sleep deprivation - quite often they cause me to feel either extremely tired (yet unable to sleep) or wide awake at night.
8. Memory and concentration are severely affected. Not only do they constantly keep me from remembering things, they can prevent me from thinking about things.
9. Manipulation of urination and bowel movements.
10. Visual disturbances, such as blurred vision, or a fogginess or haze.
11. Control of my car and electrical appliances. My car will stall or the engine will shut off. The same thing goes for riding lawnmowers. Appliances can be switched on and off
12. ) Emotions can be manipulated to where I feel anger, anxiety, lethargy, peace, numbness, etc. for no apparent reason.
13. Swallowing and yawning can be induced.
14. Noises can be made to sound as if they're very faint or very loud. I can turn the volume control of my TV or radio up as far as it goes and there will be no perceptible change in volume. Sometimes I hear a ringing in my ears. It comes on me slowly, lasts a few seconds, then fades away.
15. Respiration - early in 1998 they seemed to start a series of experiments on me. My breathing would become laborious, as if I were trying to breathe through water. Thankfully that lasted only a short time. They will often cause my breathing to become labored for unknown reasons.
16. 16) Olfactory - I will smell some very unsavory odors, such as feces, at odd times, as well as others: smoke, skunk, sewage, kerosene, gasoline etc.

In June 1998 I did regain my parental rights. The Department of Human Services allowed me to see my children more and more frequently, eventually letting me keep them overnight, and then over the weekend in my own home.

During all this time, the harassment has grown progressively worse. There is nothing they haven't touched upon, no aspect of life left alone.

I voluntarily signed away my parental rights around July of this year solely because of the influence of these people in my life. I remember one time when they had been (unknown to me) doing some subtle manipulations of my mind for a period of days or weeks. Then one day they let it off. The effect was, when they let it off, as if I were seeing my children for the first time. They did a lot of other things which made me fear for my children's safety. A local couple has adopted them both and has given me permissionto see them whenever I want. I haven't found any kind of protection against these intrusions. I have tried to make a sort of shield based upon Leia Starfire's hood, but it was totally ineffective.

I have found that if you move the position of your head ins mall amounts (1/4 inch or so) in as random a manner as possible, it will somehow interfere with the focused energy being used upon you. It won't stop it, but you will probably feel the difference. It's difficult to keep that up for extended periods however.

As a response to this unwarranted assault, I established a web site at http://www.angelfire.com/or/mctrl/index.html and began communication with other victims. I was astonished at the scope of this project and violation of human rights. I now know that efforts are underway in significant measure by those under attack to bring this situation to the attention of concerned people who will disclose these atrocities. I thank the Lord daily for the will, endurance, and determination to continue my life and to resist this inhuman invasion.
