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.

In 1903, the quiet farming town of Van Meter, Iowa, became the epicenter of a mystery that still defies explanation.

Over the course of five nights, respected townspeople—doctors, bankers, merchants—reported seeing a massive winged creature, glowing with an eerie light and impervious to gunfire. It was no bird. It was no man. And when it disappeared into an abandoned mine, the town sealed the entrance shut... permanently.

Today, we retrace the strange events that turned a peaceful prairie town into a place of fear—and gave rise to one of America's most chilling legends.

Was it a hoax? Mass hysteria? Or something that still waits in the dark?

Walk the haunted streets of Van Meter... if you dare.

In the winter of 1892, a small town in Rhode Island opened a grave.
Inside, they found a young woman—eerily preserved, blood still in her heart.

Her name was Mercy Brown.

And they believed she was feeding on the living from beyond the grave.

In this episode, we explore the true story behind America’s most infamous vampire case—a tale of grief, disease, and ritual in an era before science could explain the unexplainable.

In the quiet town of Elkhorn, Wisconsin, something stalks the backroads.
