Tour the Strieber Cabin
When Whitley Strieber had his cabin in upstate New York, he often had groups of friends up to see if it
would be possible for them to encounter the visitors. On many occassions, extraordinary events took place.
One such event occurred in the Autumn of 1988. The Striebers' friends Raven Dana and Lorie Barnes
had been staying at the cabin, and were awakened in the middle of the night, confronted by the physical
presence of the visitors. The events are described in Strieber's book
Breakthrough, and are the subject of a
Dreamland special.

This is the cabin where Whitley Strieber experienced the December 26, 1985 close encounter that
led to the writing of Communion and the long series of encounters and interactions with unknown
beings that resulted in the further books Transformation and Breakthrough. The cabin is near
Kingston, New York, and is situated in an area where there is a great deal of underground iron.

It was from this bed that Whitley was taken at approximately three in the morning of the 26th.
He has never been certain what happened, except that the experience was far more vivid than any
dream.
