ep5. Kentucky - The Hopkinsville Goblins
Manage episode 479922905 series 3661123
In the summer of 1955, a quiet farmhouse in rural Kentucky became the site of one of the strangest encounters in American history.
A family burst into the local police station, claiming their home had been under siege—by creatures from the woods. Small. Glowing eyes. Clawed hands. And impervious to gunfire.
What followed became one of the most thoroughly documented cases of alleged extraterrestrial contact on record. Witnesses. Law enforcement. Investigators. And a story that refuses to fade.
Was it a hoax? A misidentified animal? Or something else entirely?
Join us as we revisit the night the goblins came to Hopkinsville.
