S3E34: ”Little Green Men”
Season 3, Episode 34 of The Eldritch Estate is about the infamous "Little Green Men" of Kelly, Kentucky. During the 1950s, the USA was gripped by UFO-mania, and many people were claiming to see spaceships, aliens, and other unidentified flying objects in the sky. The Sutton family was no different - except that they did NOT want any part of the limelight and were truly terrified by their experience. Thanks for listening and please share with your friends!

Best!
By far the Best pod cast I have ever heard. Very entertaining, educational, and funny. Never disappointed!
Making fun of Helen Jewel?
Great insight however it comes across as mean girls gossiping…. What if I was to tell you that you are talking about me? That’s right me. I didn’t choose that life and here I am back again round four. By the way she/I was stabbed to death then her bed (after he dragged her from under the bed where she was hiding) that’s all my dream showed other than the man with big black boots and big sword in his pocket) I obviously remember no more b/c I was slatered. Then the room was lit on fire. Again they never prosecuted the right person. The man that killed Helen is because she “mocked” him as he made passes at her…. She told him she wasn’t interested. Helen has made peace and acknowledges what set him off. He was drunk angry and stabbed me her to death. I relive this dream on a regular (since a child) and wrote a vivid story on this in 1987 in 4th grade (I was just such an imaginary child) . This man who killed Helen never let the weapon who killed her leave his side. He kept it in his pocket like a wallet or pocket knife or truly a souvenir . The police never got the right man
