    MYSTERY: The Kentucky Goblins, The Remix

    In 1955, eleven people showed up at the police station in Hopkinsville, Kentucky with a wild story about strange visitors to their family farm. Years later, a separate family in a different town had a similar story. What’s going on?! Were there really aliens running around rural Kentucky?  (We originally covered this story as our second episode of the podcast. For some of our earlier episodes, we’re going back and redoing the stories both for sound quality as well as just because we think we can do a better job on them now.)
