The Grays in Folklore

GOBLINS, GRAYS AND HUMANOIDS OF OLD

Without a doubt, the idea of gray aliens and 'little men' who live beneath the ground, stealing under cover of darkness to snatch the babes of human beings, abduct and terrorize the local populace, and otherwise wreck mischief on the heads of the unwary is not a recent concept!

Today, we insist on compartmentalizing the Grays and Reptilians within an advanced technology box, because that, of course, is the only thing that makes sense to our modern minds ... space brethren from the deepest reach of outer space. This is what we relate to, and what our imaginations fashion from our current concepts. This is also the idea spoon-fed to the masses, perhaps for the purpose of cloaking high-security research and development projects by many first world countries.

But how many of us are privy to the legends of old? From ancient times to modern day, it would appear the grays have long been with us. In Sumerian times, these beings were known as Gaatur and Ushabtiu; the Arabic their Djinn; Irish legends speak of the Tuatha de Danaan or underground gods who fled into the bowels of the Earth and there remained. In folk tales from the Shetland Islands north of Scotland, we find the 'grey neighbors' who abducted humans. Native American tribes, too, have their tales of underground caverns peopled with humanoids.

Furthermore, the theme of reptilian royalty and shape-shifting snake beings, especially of note those with a vested interest in co-mingling the bloodlines and genetic material of their own with that of humans, is a constant point of conflict in nearly all legendry, including our own Christian bible! The serpent, the Sons of God, et al.

As previously mentioned, some researchers consider the Gaelic people to perhaps be those most frequently targeted by the Grays. Be that as it may, it must be said that the Gaelic are an ancient race, and their folklore is permeated with accounts of fairy people, trolls, goblins, little men, reptilian humanoids, etc. Legend further mentions the fair, aesthetically beautiful 'Nordic'-type beings also seen by close encounter experiencers today. So there we have it: Nordics, gray aliens, reptilians and all the other players except the stage was set long ago and the curtain has yet to fall.

Then, as now, similar traits are attributed to these creatures - the ability to shape shift, create illusions, telepathy, the secret of immortality, the inability to survive in direct sunlight for any measurable length of time (view my data base in progress), a need for secrecy, and the desire to interbreed with humans, advanced technology or magic, and so forth (for those interested, I recommend the book 'Passport to Magonia' by Jacques Vallee as an excellent source of information on this subject).

In light of the above, it becomes quite difficult if not ludicrous to attribute any positive messenger of hope/advanced being from the stars-type qualities to whomever or whatever the Grays may be. While it may eventually prove to be correct that these humanoids have originated from off our planet, it might just as well be likely that they've been with us always. Of course, that is what the aliens tell us.

The most successful lie must always contain a grain of truth.
