For a few terrifying hours in the summer of 1955, two Kentucky families emptied their guns into small, glowing creatures that swarmed their farmhouse and simply would not die — and to this day, no one agrees on whether they fought off aliens, owls, or something the mind conjured out of the dark.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources): https://weirddarkness.com/kellyhopkinsvilleREAD or DOWNLOAD the full transcript of this episode: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/2p86wb4mFEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: It's considered one of the most bizarre and convincing extraterrestrial events ever reported… we'll look at the alien encounter in 1955's Hopkinsville, Kentucky that was experienced by two terrified families. (The Hopkinsville Encounter) *** In the deep jungles of the Congo, natives tell of a giant creature that, once described, sounds exactly like a long-necked dinosaur. But how could this be? And is it pure legend? Perhaps not, as one noted biologist from the area saw it with his own eyes and reported it. We'll look at the supposed real sighting of Mokele-Mbembe, the living dinosaur of the Congo! (Dinosaur Observed In The Congo) *** Running a club during prohibition was extremely lucrative… and extremely dangerous, as one Theodore Lakoff would've learned… had he been awake when he was murdered. (The Mysterious Death of Theodore Lakoff) *** Benjamin Franklin was known not just as one of the father's of the United States of America, but also as an inventor, a womanizer, and a man with a bit of an ornery streak in him – as is evidenced by a series of letters he wrote to the New England Courant, where he pretended to be a woman. (Who Was Mrs. Silence Dogood?) *** The internet is a vital part of modern life. Without web access, all kinds of businesses and jobs would be unable to function. So, as you can imagine, there are plenty of people who would love to see the internet crumble. And many have tried. (Taking Down The World Wide Web) *** In 1983 sightings poured in from people on the California coast who claim they saw a sea monster.

Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: December, 2021Weird Darkness pulls together a farmhouse siege by little gray creatures in Kentucky, a biologist's claimed sighting of a living dinosaur in the Congo, decades of attempts to knock the internet offline, an unsolved Prohibition murder in Illinois, a teenage Benjamin Franklin's literary hoax, and a hundred-foot sea serpent sighted off the California coast.It opens on August 21, 1955, when Billy Ray Taylor stepped out to the well at Glennie Lankford's farmhouse in Kelly, outside Hopkinsville, Kentucky, and watched a bright object drop behind the trees. Two families spent the night barricaded indoors, firing a 12-gauge shotgun and a .22 rifle at short gray creatures with spindly legs and glowing eyes that peered through windows and swiped at Taylor from the roof, yet the buckshot rang off them like sheet metal before they floated away unharmed. Skeptics later blamed an aggressive great horned owl or a green glow of bioluminescent foxfire, while the U.S. Air Force's Project Blue Book dismissed the case as a hoax and filed it under C.P., for crackpot.From there the episode reaches the Likouala swamps of the People's Republic of the Congo, where in 1983 biologist Marcellin Agnagna became the first trained scientist to claim he had seen Mokele-Mbembe, the long-necked animal described as a surviving dinosaur for over two centuries. At remote Lake Télé on May 1, 1983, he watched a creature with a long neck, small head, and broad back rising some fifteen feet above the water, judged it a Mesozoic sauropod, and waded out to film it — only to find he had left the lens cap on, and his last roll of film later developed black.Next comes a survey of attempts to knock the internet offline since Tim Berners-Lee launched the World Wide Web. A man named Liu in Weifang, China tore apart four China Telecom junction boxes in 2016 to bury footage of himself joining a public "granny dance," while the Mirai botnet's 2016 assault on the firm Dyn took down Twitter, Netflix, and CNN, and Cornell student Robert Tappan Morris had loosed the first such attack by accident in 1988. It ends on Seth Aaron Pendley, a Texas man arrested in 2021 for plotting to blow up a Virginia data center with C-4 in hopes of crippling most of the web.The show then drops back to January 1931, when roadhouse owner Theodore Lakoff was shot once through the top of the head as he slept in his own Rockford, Illinois resort, a Prohibition den of liquor, gambling, and women he ran under the alias Tony Evanoff. His wallet lay emptied while far more cash sat untouched, and suspicion fell on twenty-year-old Viola Hunsficker, said to be extorting him, until ballistics cleared the pistol found in her apartment. Investigators then turned up five other women who each believed she was his only sweetheart, and the killing was never solved.Then it reaches back to 1722 Boston, where a witty widow named Silence Dogood published letters in the New England Courant skewering religious hypocrisy, Harvard, and fashion, charming readers so thoroughly that several men wrote in offering to marry her. She was the invention of sixteen-year-old Benjamin Franklin, an apprentice in his brother James's print shop who slipped the letters under the door at night for six months before revealing himself, then carried his taste for hoaxes to Philadelphia and a fabricated 1730 account of a Mount Holly witch trial.The episode closes off the California coast, where on October 31, 1983 a highway crew above Stinson Beach watched a dark, slender animal roughly a hundred feet long swim toward shore, trailed by about a hundred birds and two dozen sea lions. Crew member Matt Ratto described three humps rising straight from the water before a head lifted to look around, and days later, near Costa Mesa, a surfer named Young Hutchinson reported a long black eel-like animal with no dorsal fins surfacing ten feet from his board — though a Caltech spokesman offered that the witnesses might have seen a whale or a line of porpoises.

Episode 128: In today's episode, Calloway County social security disability attorney Jeff Roberts discusses common "speed bumps" that can arise after a Social Security disability claim has been decided. He advises why these issues require prompt attention rather than panic. One significant challenge is the Continuing Disability Review (CDR), where the Social Security Administration evaluates whether a recipient remains disabled. Another common hurdle is a notice of overpayment, which often results from earnings or workers' compensation offsets. These may be resolve by disputing a factual error or seeking a financial hardship waiver. Relocation can also disrupt a claim by changing the assigned hearing site or affecting state-based benefits like Medicaid for SSI recipients. Jeff encourages anyone facing these issues to contact an experienced attorney, noting that his firm provides "small town service with big city results" from offices in Murray and Hopkinsville. We hope you found this episode insightful and helpful. Thank you for listening! What Do Other Clients Think About Jeff? We always encourage listeners to read the Google Reviews Jeff Roberts has received from many of his clients. A 5-Star rating and the comments are earned recognition and demonstrate Jeff's commitment to his clients. As a solo attorney, he has more Google Reviews than some firms with multiple attorneys. Jeff shares the credit with his staff at the Roberts Law Office. Successfully representing injured clients is a team effort. It's why Jeff likes to say his firm offers "Small Town Service with Big City Results." Jeff Roberts Represents Injured Clients Throughout Kentucky With offices located in Calloway County (Murray) and now in Christian County (Hopkinsville), Jeff has a history of representing personal injury clients, workers' compensation clients and social security disability clients across the state. He's represented clients from Paducah, Bowling Green, Louisville, Covington, Whitesville and many other Kentucky locations. He's not just a Western Kentucky injury attorney.

Key Takeaways: Why Retail Looks Attractive for 2026Retail is poised to outperform, especially vs. flex/industrial, due to:Very low new development (only ~30M sq ft projected in 2026, ~70% single-tenant).Steady demand and low vacancies (around 5% vacancy, which aligns with typical underwriting assumptions).The U.S. is overbuilt on retail overall, but the type of new retail has shifted:Less big-box expansion.More mixed-use and smaller retail footprints.Investor sentiment is bullish:Cap rates have stabilized.Transaction volume is above pre-pandemic levels.Example: A Blackstone affiliate bought a $432M grocery-anchored portfolio, signaling strong conviction in retail.Retail's Fundamentals & EvolutionE-commerce and Amazon did not kill physical retail, but forced:Some brands to adapt (e.g., Best Buy).Others to disappear (e.g., Circuit City).Successful retail is becoming more experiential:People still want to touch/try/see products in person.In-person shopping often beats the friction of returns from online purchases.Neighborhood Strip Centers: The Sweet SpotUnanchored / neighborhood strip centers (10k–50k sq ft) are increasingly attractive:High occupancy, steady rent growth, strong investor interest.Adaptive tenant mix and easier to manage turnover.Tyler's own portfolio of neighborhood retail:Collected ~92–93% of rents during the pandemic by working flexibly with tenants.Demonstrates resilience of well-located neighborhood retail.Market Data & Tenants to WatchStore openings (ex‑restaurants) projected to grow 1.4% in 2026.Restaurant openings projected to grow 1.8%.Tenants/brands to watch:H‑E‑B, Michaels, Walmart, Dillard's, Pop Mart, 7 Brew, Dave's Hot Chicken, HomeGoods, EOS Fitness, Chuck E. Cheese.Markets to watch (for retail strength and rent growth):Salt Lake City, Reno (NV), Indianapolis, Raleigh–Durham, Tampa–St. Pete.Forecast average rent growth ~1.5%, but value‑add deals can outperform this via:Under-market rents.Older centers with room for modernization and repositioning.How Tyler Analyzes a Retail Deal (Key Lessons)Using a Walmart shadow‑anchored strip center near Hopkinsville (~32.6k sq ft, asking $5.613M, ~7–9% cap depending on inputs):Quick back-of-the-napkin test:Purchase price per sq ft × 10% ≈ rent per sq ft needed for a 10% cap.At $171/sq ft, that's ~$17/sq ft NNN.Financials from the OM:Gross income ≈ $19.41/sq ft.NOI ≈ $15.47/sq ft → roughly $4/sq ft in expenses.Mix of NNN and gross/modified gross leases → value‑add by converting more to NNN.Modeling assumptions & challenges:Various scenarios on LTV (70–75%), interest rate (~6–6.5%), and rent bumps (1–5%/yr).With current pricing and debt costs, IRR initially comes out too low vs. a 15% target.To hit target returns, you either need:Lower purchase price, orStronger rent growth / re‑leasing at higher rates, orSome combination of both.But:Even at today's terms, the deal can cash flow reasonably:Around 6–7% cash‑on‑cash in year one at higher equity (e.g., 50% down).Debt service coverage can be acceptable (~1.2x+) at some leverage levels.With modest rent increases (e.g., ~$1/sq ft more), the value jump can be large when capitalized at market cap rates.Practical Investing TakeawaysRetail vs. Flex:Flex is “easy” and forgiving for beginners.Retail is more nuanced (demographics, visibility, traffic counts, parking).But if you buy existing, stabilized centers, much of that risk has already been “tested by the market.”Follow the big players:Watch where Chick‑fil‑A, Starbucks, major grocers, and big PE firms (e.g., Blackstone) are putting money.They've already paid for the best data and analysis—you can ride their coattails.Value-add retail playbook:Target existing strip centers, especially near strong anchors (or shadow‑anchored).Look for:Under‑market rents.Non‑NNN leases you can convert.Short‑term leases you can roll to higher rates.Small rent bumps across multiple tenants can dramatically increase property value.Tyler's Projects & Next StepsSalt Ranch boutique hotel in Nashville:Opening planned for April 1, 2026.He's currently working through fire inspections and final permits.He's written a six‑part blog series documenting the entire Salt Ranch journey (finding the deal, vendors, mistakes, etc.).Office Hours:He'll be live again next Tuesday, 8:30am Central, for Q&A on deals, breaking into CRE, and strategy.
In August of 1955, a farmhouse outside Hopkinsville, Kentucky, became the center of a four-hour siege. Eleven people claimed small metallic beings surrounded their home, bullets rang against something that didn't bleed, and police arrived to find fear...but no bodies. Decades later, the story has a festival, a nickname, and a Hollywood legacy. But if you strip away the laughter and the “little green men,” what's left is a family who never stopped insisting something stood at their window and looked in.

On a humid August night in 1955, eleven people barricaded themselves inside a small farmhouse in rural Kentucky-convinced they were under siege by something not human. What followed was nearly four hours of gunfire, glowing figures at the windows, clawed hands on the roof… and a frantic midnight dash to the police station in nearby Hopkinsville. In this episode, we investigate the Kelly-Hopkinsville Encounter, one of the most controversial and misunderstood cases in UFO history. Through eyewitness testimony, historical context, and skeptical analysis, we explore what really happened that night-and why the story refuses to fade. Was this a genuine extraterrestrial encounter? A case of fear, misidentification, and owls in the dark? Or something far stranger? This is the full story-told as a documentary narrative-examining both belief and doubt, and the cultural moment that made a legend possible.
Few have played, coached for and coached against Murray State men's basketball. Hopkinsville's Tommy Wade, however, has done that...and so much more.Stay for the stories, as the proud Tiger, Racer, Gamecock and many other mascots walks us through more than 50 years of high school, college and professional basketball.
En la tranquila y somnolienta estación de policía de Hopkinsville, Kentucky, la noche del 21 de agosto de 1955, la calma se rompió abruptamente. Alrededor de las 11:00 p.m., un grupo frenético de once personas irrumpió en la oficina, visiblemente aterrorizadas. La familia, unida a sus amigos, aseguró que su granja había sido asediada por "pequeñas criaturas alienígenas"
This is the second installment in our new "Black City Manager" series featuring Troy Body, the city manager for Hopkinsville, Kentucky. "I can't love your neighborhood more than you love it," Troy explains as we navigate his philosophical approach to city management. He uses the "pick up the can" metaphor to explain how he believe residents must taker ownership for the condition of their own neighborhoods and community. At the end of the day, he says that the residents "have to meet me halfway" for true change to take place. He also states that too many city managers oversell and overhype themselves by projecting the idea that they are transformational leaders and that that can lead to conflict with elected officials and stakeholders.

A new hypothesis is presented that argues that the strange looking creature or creatures that terrorized 11 people at the Sutton homestead in rural Kelly, Kentucky, near Hopkinsville, on August 21-22, 1955, was actually an alien device(s) designed to test human weaponry. The theory posits that the extraterrestrials staged the incident not long before launching their mass abduction/hybridization program in an effort to better understand the standard weapons commonly available to regular, everyday people.Links/Sources:How the 'Little Green Men' Phenomenon Began on a Kentucky Farm | HISTORYClose_Encounter_at_Kelly.pdfKelly–Hopkinsville encounter - WikipediaSupport Extraterrestrial Reality/Quirk Zone on Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/c/Extraterrestrial_RealityCheck out my YouTube channel:Quirk Zone - YouTubeExtraterrestrial Reality Book Recommendations:Link to ROSWELL: THE ULTIMATE COLD CASE: CLOSED: https://amzn.to/3O2loSILink to COMMUNION by Whitley Strieber: https://amzn.to/3xuPGqiLink to THE THREAT by David M.

For many months, I have been trying to coax and cajole Troy Body into starting his own podcast or at the very least becoming a regular, recurring guest on my podcast. I have wanted to provide a platform for the Hopkinsville, Kentucky city manager and give him a voice. He has interesting perspectives and opinions you will not find anywhere else regarding local government and city management and he often shares these "hot takes" on the "Black City Managers" LinkedIn page. The plan is to roll out a series of interviews with Troy so that he can get a sense of whether he would like to do his own podcast and help him build a pre-launch audience if he decides to venture out on his own. Building listenership for a podcast is incredibly difficult. If you enjoy this new series, please let us know by going to BlackCityManagers.org and leaving a comment.

This week on the Beyond Sunday podcast, Josh Hensley is joined by Cliff, Tate, and Nora for a lively conversation that blends fun, faith, and reflection. The team dives into Cliff's sermon on Romans 8, exploring what it means to be fully convinced of God's love and promises—especially in seasons of struggle versus seasons of success. They unpack “mountaintop vs. valley” experiences and share personal testimonies of God's faithfulness in hard times. Alongside the deeper discussion, they play a spirited round of “Convinced or Confused?” debating everything from pineapple on pizza to daylight savings time and whether cereal counts as soup.

Back in 1955, a quiet Kentucky farmhouse became ground zero for one of the wildest alien encounter stories ever—complete with glowing-eyed creatures, a shotgun standoff, and a mystery that still baffles skeptics today.IN THIS EPISODE: It's considered one of the most bizarre and convincing extraterrestrial events ever reported… we'll look at the alien encounter in 1955's Hopkinsville, Kentucky that was experienced by two terrified families. (The Hopkinsville Encounter) *** In the deep jungles of the Congo, natives tell of a giant creature that, once described, sounds exactly like a long-necked dinosaur. But how could this be? And is it pure legend? Perhaps not, as one noted biologist from the area saw it with his own eyes and reported it. We'll look at the supposed real sighting of Mokele-Mbembe, the living dinosaur of the Congo! (Dinosaur Observed In The Congo) *** Running a club during prohibition was extremely lucrative… and extremely dangerous, as one Theodore Lakoff would've learned… had he been awake when he was murdered. (The Mysterious Death of Theodore Lakoff) *** Benjamin Franklin was known not just as one of the father's of the United States of America, but also as an inventor, a womanizer, and a man with a bit of an ornery streak in him – as is evidenced by a series of letters he wrote to the New England Courant, where he pretended to be a woman. (Who Was Mrs. Silence Dogood?) *** The internet is a vital part of modern life. Without web access, all kinds of businesses and jobs would be unable to function. So, as you can imagine, there are plenty of people who would love to see the internet crumble. And many have tried. (Taking Down The World Wide Web) *** In 1983 sightings poured in from people on the California coast who claim they saw a sea monster.

Twentieth Century Psychic and Medical ClairvoyantEdgar Cayce (pronounced Kay-Cee, 1877-1945) has been called the “sleeping prophet,” the “father of holistic medicine,” and the most documented psychic of the 20th century. For more than 40 years of his adult life, Cayce gave psychic “readings” to thousands of seekers while in an unconscious state, diagnosing illnesses and revealing lives lived in the past and prophecies yet to come. But who, exactly, was Edgar Cayce?Cayce was born on a farm in Hopkinsville, Kentucky, in 1877, and his psychic abilities began to appear as early as his childhood. He was able to see and talk to his late grandfather's spirit, and often played with “imaginary friends” whom he said were spirits on the other side. He also displayed an uncanny ability to memorize the pages of a book simply by sleeping on it. These gifts labeled the young Cayce as strange, but all Cayce really wanted was to help others, especially children.Later in life, Cayce would find that he had the ability to put himself into a sleep-like state by lying down on a couch, closing his eyes, and folding his hands over his stomach. In this state of relaxation and meditation, he was able to place his mind in contact with all time and space — the universal consciousness, also known as the super-conscious mind. From there, he could respond to questions as broad as, “What are the secrets of the universe?” and “What is my purpose in life?” to as specific as, “What can I do to help my arthritis?” and “How were the pyramids of Egypt built? His responses to these questions came to be called “readings,” and their insights offer practical help and advice to individuals even today.Many people are surprised to learn that Edgar Cayce was a devoted churchgoer and Sunday school teacher. At a young age, Cayce vowed to read the Bible for every year of his life, and at the time of his death in 1945, he had accomplished this task. Perhaps the readings said it best, when asked how to become psychic, Cayce's advice was to become more spiritual.Jim Vieira is an author, explorer, historical detective and host of the History Channel shows "Search for the Lost Giants" (2014), "Roanoke: Search for the Lost Colony" (2015), and "Return to Roanoke: Search the Seven" (2016).
