The Anders Experience, March 23, 1974

In the evening, the electrician, who worked until late, returned home. Most sources refer to this man as Anders, although others claim that his name was Harald Andersson. 

For unknown reasons, he chose an unknown route that he had never used before. He even said that he felt that he was being guided by a mysterious force that made him go down this path. 

As he walked, a light coming from nowhere hit him from the side of his head. He lost consciousness. He ends up waking up outside the house. His wife was there, looking deeply concerned. Then he realized that he had a lot of painful burns all over his body. Moreover, he could not answer his wife's questions about what had happened. He had no recollection of the incident. 

At the Lindholmen Hospital, Dr. Ture Arvidsson took care of Anders and immediately became interested in his case. Instantly suspecting the involvement of UFOs or aliens, he suggested that Anders let him hypnotize him. This experience, he is sure, will allow him to restore his memories after this bright light "hit him on the head."

According to Anders ' account, during the hypnotic regression, he was lifted through the air to the light. Soon after, it ended up on a table in a large room. There were tall creatures all around him. He could see at least four. They had a "translucent" appearance, but they also had a hard face with eyes, nose, and mouth. However, he couldn't see if the creatures had ears or hair, as each of them wore a kind of hood. They used metal tools to prick him and test his skin. He tried to fight these attacks, but was quickly brought under control. During this, he was even injured.

During his hypnosis, Anders repeatedly said:

"I can't say anything!»

Probably, even during the hypnosis, he had trouble disclosing information about what happened, not because he had no memory, but because it was somehow forbidden. 

In the end, he said that he had been warned not to tell anyone about his experience. He even claimed that his captors had placed "a kind of mental blockage" in his mind. They informed him that they would not harm him, but that they would not "let him remember." 

By the way, Anders showed signs of prolonged exposure to "very strong electric fields" for some time after the experiment. He even discovered that he had "abilities" and "feelings" that he didn't have before.

Anders’ Experience, 23rd March 1974

The previous evening after finishing work late, an electrician would begin his journey home. It was arguably the strangest walk home he would ever take. Most sources state the man’s name as Anders, although some claim him to be Harald Andersson (no relation to the Andersson’s mentioned above).  For reasons unknown to him, he would take a route unfamiliar, and not one he had used before. He would even state he had a feeling of guidance to take the route he did. As he walked a sudden light “hit” the side of his head from out of nowhere. Everything went black, and the next thing he knew, he awoke outside his house.  His wife was at his side, a look of deep concern on her face. It was then that he realized that painful burns raged all over his body. Furthermore, he couldn’t answer his wife’s questions as to what had happened. He had no memory of the incident whatsoever.  At the hospital at Lindholmen, Dr. Ture Arvidsson would treat Anders, and took an immediate interest in his case. Instantly suspecting UFO or extra-terrestrial involvement, he would suggest to Anders that he allow him to hypnotize him. This, he assured him, would recover his memories following the bright light hitting his head.

Revelations Under Hypnosis

According to the story told by Anders while hypnotically regressed, following the flash of light he was “sucked” upwards, through the air and towards the light itself. The next thing he knew, he was on a table in a large room.  All around him were tall creatures, at least four that he could see. They had a “transparent” look to them but also had solid faces, with eyes, nose, and a mouth. He couldn’t, however, see if the creatures had ears or hair as they each wore some kind of hood that “shimmered” as they moved.  They used metallic tools to prod and test his skin. He briefly attempted to fight off the intrusions but was quickly overpowered. During the struggle, he even received an injury to his forehead.  One interesting thing that Anders would repeat several times while under hypnosis was “I can not say anything!” Even during the regression, he struggled to divulge information of his account, not through lack of memory, but because it was forbidden. He would eventually state that he was warned not to talk about his experience. He even claimed his abductors had put “some kind of mental block” in his mind. They informed him they would not harm him but they would “not allow him to remember!”  Incidentally, Anders would display signs of prolonged exposure to “very powerful electrical fields” for some time after the experience. He even found he displayed “abilities” and “senses” he hadn’t had before.  While there is no certain connection between the incidents on consecutive nights in March 1974 just north of Stockholm, it is not at all a stretch of the mind to imagine a link. Furthermore, despite the investigations by Swedish authorities, no explanation exists for the bizarre episode.

False memories

A person remembers an event, a fragment or a detail that did not actually happen.

They can be formed independently or under the influence of methods of memory recovery therapy (Recovered-memory therapy or RMT), such as regressive hypnosis, guided visualization, drug therapy for memory recovery, etc .In this case, there is an effect called imagination inflation.
