HUN #65 - The Night the Sky Came Calling: The Mystery of the Kelly-Hopkinsville Encounter
On August 21, 1955, a frightened family in Kelly, a small rural community near Hopkinsville, Kentucky, reported that strange creatures had surrounded their farmhouse after a mysterious object appeared in the night sky. Their story would become one of the most famous cases in UFO history.
In this episode, we explore the Kelly-Hopkinsville Encounter, examining the eyewitness accounts, the investigation, and the theories that have emerged over the decades. Was this truly an encounter with visitors from another world, or is there a more earthly explanation behind one of America's greatest UFO mysteries?

HUN #64 - The Tallman House Haunting
In the mid-1980s, the Tallman family carried a pair of second-hand bunk beds into their Wisconsin home, unaware that this seemingly innocent purchase would trigger a nightmare they could neither explain nor escape. What began as small disturbances soon spiralled into a series of terrifying events that transformed their forever home into a place of dread.
Join Victoria as she walks you through the sinister chain of experiences that ultimately drove Allen and Debbie Tallman to flee their house on South Larrabee Street in Horicon - leaving behind not just a home, but a haunting.
