Through the Silvery Mirror: Betty Andreasson's Haunting Encounter With Bug-Eyed Beasts


Have you ever felt the prickling sensation of being watched, even when you're alone? Or maybe you’ve experienced an unexplainable moment that leaves you questioning what’s real? Betty Andreasson’s story dives deep into those shadowy corners of the unknown. It’s the kind of tale that crawls under your skin and refuses to leave, one that makes you glance over your shoulder long after you’ve heard it.

For Betty, January 25, 1967, was the night she came face-to-face with something that would forever change her life. Living in South Ashburnham, Massachusetts, with her parents and seven children, she was already under stress—her husband was in the hospital recovering from a car accident. But what began as an ordinary evening quickly unraveled into a sequence of events so eerie, so unearthly, that it defies comprehension. Buckle up, because this account isn’t for the faint-hearted.

It started innocently enough—the lights flickered. Then they went out, plunging the house into silence. As Betty would later recall through hypnosis, her family seemed to slip into a trance-like state, their movements slowing until they became eerily still. She alone remained fully aware, watching in disbelief as five otherworldly beings glided into her home—not through the door, but through it. Yes, they phased right through the solid wood as though it weren’t there.

The beings were small, otherworldly, their presence almost indescribable. They didn’t speak as humans do, but somehow they persuaded Betty to follow them. Leaving her family frozen in their surreal state, she stepped into their strange metallic vessel. What followed defies all logic and rationality.

Inside, Betty endured a bizarre examination before being enclosed in a transparent canopy. As if floating on an unseen current, she was flown away to a world unlike anything you or I could imagine. Upon arrival, she found herself in a dim stone tunnel, moving along a track with her two alien companions, whose faces were hidden beneath black hoods. The tunnel seemed endless, its oppressive walls heavy with silence. At its end, a silvery mirror shimmered ominously.

When they passed through, the world she entered was nothing short of a waking nightmare. A red-tinged atmosphere engulfed her, distorting her sense of reality. On either side of the track were tall, square buildings, their surfaces crawling with grotesque lemur-like creatures. These beasts had no heads—just necks that supported stalk-like eyes, which jutted out and followed her every move. Their gaze wasn’t just terrifying; it was penetrating, as if they could see straight into her soul. Yet, as horrifying as they were, they let her pass unscathed.

The journey continued into an underground realm illuminated by an otherworldly green light. Misty seas stretched out around her, dotted with lush vegetation that seemed alive in its own eerie way. In the distance, a city shimmered faintly, its details just out of reach. The air hummed with a strange energy that Betty couldn’t place—was it fear? Awe? Or something even deeper?

Then, just as abruptly as it all began, the experience ended. Four hours after leaving her home, Betty awoke back in her house. Her family remained dazed, as if waking from a deep sleep, with no memory of the events that had just transpired. For Betty, the memory lingered only as a foggy impression, slipping further from her grasp with each passing day. It wasn’t until ten years later, under hypnosis, that the details of that harrowing night came rushing back.

There’s something bone-chilling about Betty’s account. Maybe it’s the thought of being singled out by something so entirely beyond human comprehension, or perhaps it’s the unsettling imagery of bug-eyed beasts in a crimson-tinged world. Whatever it is, her story sends a shiver down your spine and leaves you questioning what might be lurking just beyond the veil of our reality.

While some might dismiss her tale as mere imagination or dreamlike hysteria, others—myself included—find the details too specific, too visceral to ignore. And the fact that this entire experience came flooding back to her years later under hypnosis only adds an extra layer of intrigue to an already compelling narrative.
