This claim states that abduction experiences tend to recur within families across multiple generations. Turner notes that parents, children, and relatives often report parallel encounters, missing time, or dreams involving similar beings. She interprets this pattern as intentional targeting of bloodlines or psychological traits.
Evidence includes case clusters where relatives independently recount similar encounters, suggestive dreams, or shared nighttime terrors. Turner sees these recurrences as too structured to be coincidence.
Conceptually, this claim appears in multiple abduction literatures. DSETI evaluates it as Moderate—family clustering is real in reports, but could also reflect shared sensitivity, culture, or psychodynamics.
