Season 2 Episode Holiday
THE GOBLIN IN THE WOODS | HOLIDAY SPECIAL
Welcome to a special Holiday Edition of the I Want to Believe podcast, I’m Nomar Slevik and we’ve got a story of a mysterious figure that made itself known around 62 years ago…
Season 2 is coming soon. We just recorded and edited episode 10, and we’ll have about 12 to 15 new episodes launching in early 2019 (If you don’t remember, we release all episodes at once, Netflix style).
ALSO, as of RIGHT NOW, you can watch me and Bill Brock’s documentary, Abducted New England on Amazon Prime. And my book Otherworldly Encounters, is available wherever books are sold. Links are below.
So… lets dive into the story of the goblin in the woods…
This encounter brings us to the state of New Hampshire, the town of Derry to be exact. It was first settled way back in 1719 by Scots-Irish families, but it was not incorporated into the town of Derry until 1827. The name comes from a city in Ireland also called Derry. The town is nicknamed Spacetown in honor of Alan Shepard an astronaut from Derry AND the FIRST man from the U.S. in space, which happened in 1961 and he actually walked on the moon in 1971. Pretty cool.
On December 15, 1956, Derry resident Alfred Horne was out in the forest looking for the perfect Christmas tree to bring home for the holiday. Horne went to the woods alone but after a while, he felt like he was being watched. He walked towards the trees a few feet and saw someone or something standing nearby watching him as he worked. The entity was about two feet high. It had a large head with big floppy ears. In place of a nose it just had two nostril slits, and its eyes were covered with nictitating membranes like a snake's. To make things even stranger, the entity was green, stark naked, and had stumpy arms and toeless feet.
Horne thought that no one would believe what he saw and actually tried to apprehend the little creature. But as he tried to grab the entity it emitted loud, blood-curdling shrieks. Horne fled from the woods in panic, leaving the little green man behind.
