Broom with a wroom



The witches have upgraded their brooms to spaceships. Centuries ago people were abducted by trolls or the devil himself. In those days the woods were actually scary and you could get lost, strange sounds heard were attributed to fantasy creatures. Today we in the west really cant believe in those things anymore, but we still get abducted, just not by the fairies of the woods but by aliens. Space is black and vast and who listens to scientists when you can explain it so much more interesting. Actually scientist have a very plausible explanation why people experience these things, in Japan they call it 'kanashibari', in the west we call it sleep paralysis. Sleep paralysis is not well known in the west, people experiencing it associate it with an abduction like taken away forcefully on a broomstick or taken by aliens, this is what we have been tought. Recent studies in Canada, Japan, China and the United States have suggested that it may strike at least 40 percent or 50 percent of all people at least once. I am still waiting for my first, maybe I just have to upgrade my broom.
