I have been reading about NHI encounters and abduction cases of various kinds in the last few months, and it is truly intriguing. However, I noticed that ALL the cases I came across about were from Western countries (vast majority being from US and Canada, and many from Europe) or from countries who are culturally and demographically close to the West (eg Latin America or Russia). This seems a bit puzzling as in terms of global population the Americas & Europe & Australia represent a minority (around 1/3 rd?). So why are these encounters unheard of in much of Asia or Africa. Is it because the aliens/ NHI are more interested in the people of the West, or is it because those encounters do take place but go unreported? If its the latter, there has to be a LOT of unreported encounters in the non-Western parts of the world, if the encounters were really proportional to populations of different regions. If there are indeed many NHI encounter cases observed in non Western countries (I am talking modern times only, not old folklore and mythology that *MAY* be interpreted as such), can someone please point me to some examples? For context, I am from India and have access to Indian media/ content/ books in English, Hindi and Bengali. And while the Indian paranormal experience is quite vast and rich; rife with ghosts, demons, possessions, reincarnation, magic and spells of various kinds, even mystical experiences and visions; there is nothing (I know of), that can be read as meeting a grey entity or a mantis being or being abducted by one. Again, I will be happy to be proven wrong. PPS. The intention of my post is not to be dismissive, or offend or question someone's beliefs but genuine curiosity only. submitted by /u/Mobile_Society_8458 [link] [comments]
