Tujunga Canyon Contacts

THE TUJUNGA CANYON CONTACTS tells the true stories of five young women "abductees" who lived in and near Tujunga Canyon, northeast of Los Angeles, and who were all linked by more or less intimate personal relationships. The abductions and related events, which took place over a period of more than two decades, were first investigated by UFO researcher Ann Druffel for five full years, and later by Druffel and parapsychologist D. Scott Rogo together. Many of the abduction details first revealed in the Tujunga Canyon case have been confirmed in the hundreds of cases that followed it.

First published during the peak of the 20th century's UFO abduction epidemic, THE TUJUNGA CANYON CONTACTS was only the second book written about so-called "alien abductions." This edition of the classic work contains the two new chapters prepared for the updated version of the book. During this updating of the story, Druffel first realized that abduction scenarios can be fended off by strong-willed, confident experiencers, since three of the five young women intuitively discovered, and used, various "resistance techniques" to fend off, and eventually end, the harrowing attacks.

Ann Druffel (1926-2020). Her interest in the UFO phenomenon dates back to 1945, when, as a schoolgirl, she viewed a bright yellowish object over Long Beach, California. In 1957 she became one of the first investigators for the National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena and remained with that organization until its demise in 1973. Since then she has been an investigator for the Mutual UFO Network and other scientifically minded organizations. She has written more than 200 articles in UFO journals and is the author of six books on UFOs and other paranormal subjects, including How To Defend Yourself Against Alien Abduction, and Firestorm! Dr. James E. McDonald's Fight For UFO Science.

D. Scott Rogo was one of the most widely respected writer-journalists covering the field of parapsychology, as well as an active scientific investigator. He published papers in refereed parapsychological journals and was active in field investigations of hauntings and poltergeist activity. Rogo was also a leading authority on the history of psychical research. In the course of more than twodozen published books, including The Haunted Universe, Rogo sought to broaden the range of topics worthy of paranormal research.
