Always nice to have the database updated.

However...this has no significance for abduction research. Poor
Margaret, with her multiple personality disorder, could have been
fantasizing abductions. That tells us nothing about the reality
of experiences anyone else might have.

Or, she could truly have been abducted...and dissasociated the
experience by making it available to only one of her
personalities.

Since MPD is not exactly widespread among abductees, it doesn't
have much to do with the abduction experience, whatever that
experience may turn out to
be.
