I have been reading the recent book by Calvin Parker about the Pascagoula Abduction "The Closest Encounter"
Pascagoula Abduction - Wikipedia
Parker describes how he threw all his clothing including his shoes into a garbage bag the morning after his encounter. This is interesting to me, because in 2009 something traumatic happened to me apparently, and that is exactly how I reacted. I took all my clothing, my luggage, and everything inside my luggage including my wallet and the money - everything - and I cut it to shreds and put in the trash. Then I took a shower and began drinking glasses of water repeatedly in at attempt to decontaminate my body. In my case, I have no memory of what happened to upset me so much. As far as I know I just went to sleep in a hotel and woke up and showered and caught my flight home. Then when the airplane landed it was like I collapsed psychologically and realized that something terrible must have happened even though I had no memory of what happened - and I still have no memory.
As I recall, Betty and Barney Hill had a similar reaction after their experience. They put all their clothing in the trash and felt a need to bathe even though they initially only remembered having seen a UFO - they had no memory of an abduction.
Just wondering if others have experienced that feeling of being contaminated. It is an interesting clue. Maybe it is a commonality in the psychology of people in a mental breakdown, or maybe it is commonality in the possibly paranormal/spiritual/UFO experiences that trigger the trauma.
