Whitley Strieber

[Chuckleberryfinn]

The chain smoking alien kid is obviously fiction. Bad fiction, at that. It's clearly the stuff of bad horror fiction.

I cannot believe that Strieber has this many ardent supporters. He claims to have traveled into the future, for Christ's sake. He's about as backwards as Steven Greer. Same type of outrageous, asinine claims, same absolute lack of evidence, same cult like following.

Bummer he had a alien live with him and meditated with him nightly, but no photos or vids. At least dress something up in tin foil, and take a pic, cmon.

Not sure I'd place him in the same category as Greer though. I don't mind that others do since I think it's time Whitley ups his evidence, not claims. Instead we have the reverse. Whit does have some mild evidence though. Nothing recent that I am aware of however.

WHITLEY STRIEBER IS WAY OUT THERE I BELIEVE HE MIGHT HAVE HAD A PARANORMAL EXPERIENCE BUT HE HAS DEVELOPED IT INTO A STORY TO MAKE HIMSELF KNOWN AND TO SELL BOOKS IN ONE OF HIS INTERVIEWS HE SIAD THAT A CREATURE IN THE SHAPE OF A RACCOONWAS OUTSIDE HIS CABIN AND THAT IT WAS ALIEN WHO SHAPED SHIFTED AND SMOKED CIGS BELIEVE OR NOT THIS MAN IS CRASY AND ANYONE WHO BELIEVES IN HIM IS CRAZY

He's either crazy or he sees some real stuff and some may be memories inserted in his head. I really dont know but don't dismiss it all though.

I read Communion when it first came out. I was very skeptical at the time.The not long after another fellow wrote a book about Whitley and examined his experiences, Mental Health, did the hypnosis thing.............which can get screwed up easily. His take on Whitley is Whitley believed the things that happened to him,and he was not or is not mentally ill............So, Mabye whitley was abducted by lil grey aliens. If he was he is surely not the first.
Those are the only two books Ive read by him.I went through a Jacques Vallee and Tim Good phase after that.
Peace

There's just something really strange going on with Strieber, that goes beyond mental illness or physical ailment. I don't pretend to have any knowledge as to what might "really" have happened to Strieber, but I don't think its as cut and dry as a guy just trying to make a buck. I'm of the opinion that he actually believes much of what he contends.

I saw on the TV a man who thought he controlled the weather in his head. Said it was his job. He believed he was telling the truth as well. And to his point of reality it was the truth.

I have been reading Breakthrough: The Next Step and have to say that some of it does sound a little out there. I agree that the chain smoking alien could have been a figment of his imagination but to have written like three books and have so much info I think that its a little far fetched to say that everything he's written is made up. I don't believe all of it but I do believe that he has had something happen to him.

I don't think he's crazy enough...I've encountered an alien or two in my day...never seen a grey, though...The truth of these matters and the forms in which they manifest can be far more illogical and surreal than anything I've read from him. I am a little bothered by the quasi-religious overtones in some of his rhetoric. At times I'm not sure if he's really as gullible as he seems to be, or if he's "putting on airs"... playing down to what he must assume is a gullible audience. I'll remain open, but my bullshit filters start working overtime whilst his shtick is being delivered.

I just checked out Whitley's latest journal entry, what a Debbie Downer he is, my God!

He needs a full body massage and a glass of whiskey. Actually, we all need a full body massage and a glass of whiskey
