People,
Speaking of little people and fairy folklore, there are several
pieces of information in the Underground Abductions, Whereto? page:
[link to www.holloworbs.com]
A sample-
Dr. Thompson opens up the section entitled " Abductions and
Crossbreeding " with the following words on the folklore of Northern
Europe: " Abduction is a standard theme in traditional fairy tales
(which must be distinguished from the expurgated versions intended
for modern children ). In these stories, men and children are often
abducted out of lust by fairies of the opposite sex. Children are
also taken, and it is said that a fairy child, called a changeling,
may be substituted for a human child. Just as we find in UFO cases,
it seems that Sex desire and genetic considerations are involved in
these abductions. In support of this, Vallee cited Edwin Hartland, a
scholar of fairy traditions, as to the reasons people in Northern
European countries gave for this abduction of children: ` The motive
usually assigned to fairies in Northern stories is that of preserving
and improving their race, on the one hand by carrying off human
children to be brought up among the elves and to become united with
them, and on the other hand by obtaining the milk and fostering care
of human mothers for their own offspring.´"
He then narrates several legends which illustrate such abductions
very nicely on page 300 of Alien Identities.
