There have been plenty of alien abductions since the 1960s, and there are two that everyone knows about. Discovery+ is going to look at those two cases and share with us the information we haven’t seen or heard before. Shock Docs: Alien Abduction includes interviews with abductees, along with recreations of the abduction and expert interviews.
The first case, which is the first known case, took place in 1961 to Betty and Barney Hill. They were driving home to New Hampshire from their honeymoon when they saw something odd in the sky. They tried to drive away from it, but it followed them on their route. Eventually, it caught up with them, and that is when the two of them lost a few hours of time, and couldn’t really remember what happened.
They told their story to a few family members, who told them to call the nearby air force about it. Back then, no one else had claimed they were abducted by aliens. So it was hard to get people to believe them. Plus, Henry was a civil rights leader and did not want to go public about what happened to him.
Betty spent the next few years of her life having horrible nightmares of that night. So in 1964, she went to a hypnotist who put her under. He recorded their session, and we get to hear what she told him from those tapes. Her husband also told his story to the hypnotist. You can hear in his voice how scared he was to relive that night, but he did.
To hear the encounter in their own words makes it more believable than reading or watching about it. It gets even more harrowing when you see her talk about it in her later years. We don’t see her husband talk about it because he passed away in 1969.
Then 14 years later, Travis Walton was abducted near his hometown of Snowflake, Arizona. He and his logging crew were driving home after a long day of work when they saw a light in the sky. Travis got out of the truck and looked up at the light. Then, all of a sudden, he disappeared.
His buddies drove back to town and told people what happened, and no one believed them. In fact, they thought they killed him, and they came up with this crazy story to hide their crime.
Over the next five days, his six co-workers were questioned over and over again. They even underwent a polygraph test, which they passed. Even more shocking to the investigators is that they all told the same story.
On the fifth day, Travis called his family and asked them to pick him up. When they got there, he was skinnier and dehydrated and had no recollection of the last five days. He thought that it was still the same night as his abduction.
His family tried to hide him in a hotel away from time to give him time to recover. However, they found out where he was hiding.
He started to tell people his story, some believed him and others didn’t. But he and his co-workers are still telling it like they told it almost 50 years ago. How do I know? Because he, several of them, and his then-girlfriend/now-wife were all interviewed for the documentary.
Travis even took the camera crew to the place where he was abducted. Therefore, we get to see his reaction when he returns to the place that changed his life forever.
I knew about both of their cases because I saw the movies (The UFO Incident and Fire in the Sky) based on their abductions. However, those movies were fiction, so I was intrigued to learn the real stories from them. Shock Docs: Alien Abduction did not disappoint.
Whether you believe in alien abductions or not, you will find these special episodes fascinating. Both the Hills and Walton were the first people to go public with their abductions and be accepted for it. We would not have those movies about it if it weren’t for them. So learn how it all started on Discovery+.
President Joe Biden is going to appear in an NBC interview before the Super Bowl on Sunday. And his brand new puppy Commander is going to make his debut during the more important game with his mother, First Lady Jill Biden.
Together the two of them are going to be on Puppy Bowl XVIII with a special message about love the day before Valentine’s Day. “Valentine’s Day is one of my favorite holidays because it is all about love,” FLOTUS said. “What’s so wonderful about having pets is that they bring us unconditional love, joy, and comfort every day.”
That they are. And I am so grateful that we have a dog and a cat in the White House again. It says a lot about a person if they own a pet and how they treat them. The Bidens are very loving to their fur babies, and they are running the country the same way.
Puppy Bowl XVIII airs on Animal Planet and Discovery+ on Sunday. Who cares about Rams and Bangles when you have puppies? Go puppies!
Last week, Meat Loaf passed away after a short undisclosed illness. However, back in September, he filmed his final episode of Ghost Hunters. Today, Discovery+ announced that The Haunted House on the Hill is going to start streaming on February 12th.
This is not Meat’s first appearance on the paranormal investigation show. He made his debut in 2009 and has remained friends with Jason Hawes ever since. Because of that friendship, the late Rocker took part in several investigations throughout the years.
For Meat’s final investigation, he traveled with the TAPS team to a farmhouse in Tennessee, where rumors of terrifying activity have plagued the property for decades. Now that there are new homeowners who own the residence, they want to reassure the community that their home doesn’t harbor any dangerous entities.
Hopefully, Meat and TAPS were able to send the bats out of hell home.
And maybe in a few months, Hawes can find out if Meat is haunting his home.
Back in 1990, The Gainsville Ripper mutilated five college students in Gainsville, Fl over a three-day period. Danny Rolling was finally caught and sentenced to death. Finally, in 2006, his sentence was completed.
Ten years before he was given the lethal injection, there was a movie that came out that was inspired by him. That movie was Scream.
On January 14th on Discovery+’s Scream: The True Story, paranormal investigator Steve Shippy and renowned psychic medium Cindy Kaza Shippy will head to the University of Florida to conduct the first-ever paranormal investigation at the campsite where he stalked his innocent victims. They will also head up to his childhood home in Louisiana, where the current homeowner says there is a lot of paranormal activity going on in her house.
What will they find out? We will just have to watch to find out. And since he was a sick individual when he was alive, I am sure he is a malevolent spirit in his death.
Imagine you are living a normal life, and then all of a sudden, a ghost destroys everything? It happens more than you think, and Eli Roth is telling some of their stories about how A Ghost Ruined My Life every Friday on Discovery+.
Each week, the person whose life was ruined tells us their story while Roth reimagines what happened. For example, in the first episode, a mother of a young son moves into a house, and immediately the haunting begins. She calls in paranormal experts to help her, and they tell her to move. Since she can’t afford to do it, she stays. As time goes on, the entities get more and more evil and destructive. However, one day it goes too far. What will she do now?
In the second episode, a married couple is enjoying their life of wedded bliss until the father of one of the brides dies. After that, he starts to haunt his daughter-in-law, and he won’t leave her alone no matter where they go. Can their marriage survive? Can they convince him to move on?
Roth knows how to make docuseries interesting. He lets the story play out and doesn’t repeat everything like every two minutes. Plus, he knows how to direct the visuals, so you feel like you are experiencing what the haunted person was going through. That is the whole point of dramatizations, and he is a master of it.
