Case · UFO Afrinews No 18, July 1998
Kathy shown a pale, wispy-haired child two years after losing her foetus
not printed; an abductee from Budd Hopkins' books, United States
Outside the region. Hind reprinted this case from elsewhere; it has a file here but no place on the map.
What was reported
As an example of abductees never being told the purpose of what is done to them, Hind cites Kathy, a woman from Budd Hopkins' books, who was shown a small, pale and frail-looking child of about two with wispy white hair, some two years after she had lost her foetus. Hind treats this as one of several missing-foetus cases and adds that women whose pregnancies were confirmed by a doctor have gone back three or four months later to be found not pregnant, with no evidence of an aborted foetus; doctors call this false pregnancy syndrome in hysterical women, though she says hysteria is not obvious in most cases. The issue neither dates nor locates the Kathy episode.
What Hind made of it
Hind takes the missing-foetus pattern seriously and rejects the false pregnancy explanation for most cases.
