The Goblins of Kentucky: The 1955 Hopkinsville Encounter That Still Has No Explanation Part 1
Published 1 month ago
Description
In August of 1955, a quiet Kentucky farmhouse became the center of one of the most bizarre and unsettling encounters in American history. Eleven witnesses. Four hours of terror. Small glowing-eyed creatures hovering outside windows, climbing onto rooftops, and seemingly immune to gunfire.
In this episode of The Strange History Podcast, host Amy dives deep into the infamous Hopkinsville encounter — often called the Goblins of Kentucky — examining eyewitness testimony, police reports, military involvement, and why this case refuses to fit neatly into explanations like hoaxes, hysteria, or misidentified animals.
Were they aliens? Something older? Or something that was never meant to be seen above ground at all?
This is the true story of America’s strangest “invasion” — and why Kentucky still hasn’t forgotten it.
