Examining Evidence from History's Most Famous Alien Abduction

In September of 1961, on a desolate mountain pass in New Hampshire, strange lights in the sky heralded the introduction of a new, more terrifying type of extraterrestrial encounter; one where stolen memories, painful medical experiments, and regression hypnosis replace friendly visitors from Venus. In this episode, we examine one of the rarest artifacts in the Newkirk Museum: pieces of the dress Betty Hill was wearing as she was abducted by aliens. We discuss our own ill-advised adventures in hypnosis, Greg lays out a government conspiracy, and Connor learns that the answers to life's mysteries are found in Super Mario 64.   Join the Museum: https://patreon.com/paramuseum Watch Haunted Objects on YouTube: https://youtube.com/planetweird Visit Our Website: https://hauntedobjectspodcast.com   Follow Greg Newkirk Twitter: https://twitter.com/nuekerk Instagram: https://instagram.com/nuekerk Website: https://gregorynewkirk.com   Follow Dana Newkirk Twitter: https://twitter.com/weird_dana Instagram: https://instagram.com/weird_dana   Follow Connor J.
