This is the third part in our series that takes a look at strange and mysterious stories from sports.
Paranormal experiences like hauntings and UFO abductions don’t only happen to lumberjacks in Arizona. They also happen to famous athletes in the world of sports.
Just ask Lebron, who was clearly pushed to the ground by some kind of paranormal force in this video.
Today, we’re looking strange and mysterious sports stories that involve a UFO or close encounters of the third kind.
Paranormal Sports Stories: Volume 3 – UFO Abductions
Maradona was abducted by aliens
During an interview with TyC Sports, an Argentinian sports channel, Diego Maradona claimed that he was abducted by aliens for three days.
Here’s what he said about the encounter:
“Why make things up? Once, after a few too many drinks, I was missing from home for three days,” he said.
“I got home and said that UFOs had taken me. I said ‘They took me, I can’t tell you about it’.”
Later in the same interview he spoke about losing his virginity to a 59-year old lady when he was 13. She apparently read a newspaper during the ordeal.
Baron Davis is poked by Aliens
On a podcast called Westcoast Rydaz, Baron Davis states that he was driving back from Las Vegas at 4am when he saw a bright light that appeared to be a truck. At that point his memory lapsed and next thing he knew he was being poked by “half human/half ugly motherfuckers.”
His next memory was being 4-hours away in Montebello, CA with no idea how he got there.
Here is the story in his own words:
Guillermo Marino has his soul removed during an Alien Abduction
Argentine midfielder Guillermo Marino once claimed to have missed practice because he was abducted by aliens.
According to his teammates, the details of Marino’s story were so convincing that they began to seriously wonder if it might be true.
This abduction story is unique because the aliens apparently removed his soul in order to run tests on it, while taking care not to harm his body.
Marino’s teammate, Gustavo Lorenzetti, breaks down the encounter:
“He explained that they take out your soul, analyse it and all the while on the journey they are looking after you. He said something like that.
“Honestly I believe in aliens. He gave a great explanation and we’ll have to believe him. So other types of channels will have to call him so he can tell it better. But in any case, he was abducted by aliens.”
