This is the response from Gemini to my inquiry about the subject that evoked ridicule and scorn on the post about Corporal Possession.

The case you are thinking of likely involves the famous "Entity" haunting of Doris Bither, which took place in Culver City, California, in 1974.

This case became widely known and served as the direct inspiration for the 1978 bestselling book The Entity by Frank De Felitta, which was subsequently adapted into the 1982 horror film of the same name starring Barbara Hershey.

The Background of the Case

Doris Bither, a mother living in California, approached parapsychologists at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA)—specifically researcher Barry Taff—claiming that she was being physically and sexually assaulted in her home by invisible, malevolent forces or entities. She reported being pinned down, beaten, and sexually violated by these unseen presences, usually occurring at night or while she was in bed.

Investigation and Laboratory Context

While the investigation primarily centered around her home (where researchers claimed to have photographed anomalous streaks and orbs of light and documented moving objects), elements of sleep science and clinical observation often intersect with this specific lore:

Sleep Paralysis and the "Incubus Phenomenon": In modern medicine and sleep laboratories, experiences where individuals wake up feeling pinned, suffocated, or physically/sexually assaulted by an unseen entity are recognized as severe episodes of sleep paralysis coupled with hypnagogic/hypnopompic hallucinations. This is historically referred to as the "incubus syndrome".

The "Evidence" Aspect: In the popular retellings of the Bither case and similar historical parapsychological investigations, researchers often highlighted physiological recordings—such as sudden spikes in heart rate, changes in brain wave patterns, or physical bruising and markings found on the subjects after these attacks—as "objective evidence" that something real and external was interacting with them while they slept.

From a scientific consensus standpoint, these physiological reactions are understood as the body's intense autonomic and panic response to a sleep-stage dissociation (where the mind wakes up during REM sleep while the body remains paralyzed, triggering vivid, terrifying tactile and visual hallucinations). However, in pop culture and true crime/paranormal lore, the Bither case remains the definitive benchmark for the "invisible entity sexual assault" narrative.

I don't think any man (or boy) who saw The Entity back in the day would EVER forget that movie.
Some would consider it mild porn....lol.

@Pioneer1 You obviously forgot it. When I mentioned the incident it was based on, you joined Troy in expressing disbelief, and dismissed my reference to it as baseless.

Either I forgot it....or it never happened, lol.
Because I searched my Corporal Possession thread twice and didn't find that exchange or any poster named "Gemini" in it.
Nor do I recall joining with Troy to gang up on you to dismiss some experience you had.

I don't feel like going over a 2 page thread with a fine toothed comb over and over again looking for something that may or may not even be there.

@Pioneer1

tsk-tsk Let me refresh your mind and summarize somethimg that just transpired a couple of days ago on the "Corporal Possession" post, an exchange you are apparently in denial about, via your selective memory loss reinforced by your phony expressions of doubt as to whether such an exchange actually exists.

On the second page of that marathon "Corporal Possession" mish mash, upon closer scrutiny, you will find an entry from Troy chiding me for making reference to a famous case about this woman who claimed to have been repeatedly sexually harassed by an "entity", an occurrence that scientific surveillence proved to be plausible. In his reaction to this, Troy implied that my claim was ridiculous, especially since he couldn't track down this supposedly famous incident, and I offered no video to verify it. He then went on to compare me to you because, like you are consistently guilty of doing, I didn't back up what I said with credible evidence.

Further down on that same thread you responded to Troy by saying my claim about such a woman was a bunch of "jive-ass nonsense", and you further requested that he never again mention my name with yours when trying to verify something.

This is the reason I consulted "Gemini" which is an AI search engine, and it supplied me with the information that I provided on this post.

You're no doubt resorting to your usual devious chicanery of substituting a false scenario to save face, while pretending you think Gemini is a "person" you're not acquainted with. Puleeze.

The only reason I re-visited that post was because I received a notification that Troy had quoted me in it and I wanted to see what he had to say. I wouldn't even belabor the point now but your feigning innocence is a bit much.

Some ol, same ol. 😴

Cynique

As usual, one big ball of confusion.

1. I know that this is a AI search engine called Gemini, but you didn't make that clear in your original post.

You spoke of some statement from "Gemini" and ridicule being invoked in the Corporal Possession thread which LED me to believe that you were speaking of an actual poster with the handle "Gemini".

2. My "jive ass nonsense" comment wasn't in reference to your statement about possession.

It was in reference to Troy jokingly associating our names together....lol.

You and Delano belong together because he often makes confusing posts like this where the statements are all nuanced and circular to the point that you'd have to be a psychic genius to figure out what kind of point he's making.

You guys can't just say, "I"m going to the store."

No, that's too linear and easy to say....lol.

You have to lament about what you don't have in the fridge, how much time you have on your hands, what's on sale at the supermarket, what's not on current FDA list of food borne illnesses....and from all of this...one would have to INFER that you're planning to go to the store.

Troy, Mel, and perhaps ProfD are all well educated college graduates so perhaps they have the mental energy to untangle the shit you two be saying sometimes and figure it out.

I'm not going to try.
