Lordy Lordy Ian's 40....3. Happy Birthday Ian!!

This week we come to the conclusion of the Betty and Barney Hill saga. Ian takes us through their journey to find someone to use hypnosis on them and what they learn from their sessions.

It doesn't really seem like either of them had a pleasant experience during their abductions. And although they both had experiences specific to themselves, a lot of their stories did corroborate each other.

And please head over to https://theparanormallovers.threadless.com to check out our $13 shirt sale going on until 3/18.

Just six years after Betty and Barney Hill had their alleged encounter, another Betty in New England would allegedly have an encounter of her own.  But this Betty had more than one witness.

It would take about ten years for this Betty to go under hypnosis to recover her memories of that night. And what she uncovers changes things for so many people around her. But what her daughter claims to have experienced back then, and now is even wilder.

In part 2 of Ian's story about Betty and Barney Hill we learn about what began happening after the couple's abduction.

As much as Barney wanted to ignore what had happened, the nightmares that Betty began having were enough for him to agree to reach out for help. They talked to several people and like with most abduction stories, they end up going to get hypnotized.

In honor of Black history Month Felicia takes us to the low country to learn about a legend that comes from a community that is a part of her heritage. 

The Gullah Geechee people have a rich history and culture that is still found in the low country today. These people are descendants of enslaved people who were brought to work the unique landscape of the area. The conditions of their enslavement allowed for them to keep some of their culture and language from their countries in Africa and lead to the culture and language that is still in the area today. 

And from that culture comes the legend of a witch, vampire, evil spirit, creature that likes to draw the life force out of their victims, and will sometimes even ride them like a horse for the night. The legend of the boo hag has even lead to a unique custom in some communities to ward off the evil spirits.

In honor of Black History Month this month and Women's History Month in March Ian is taking us though the abduction of Betty and Barney Hill in the 1960's.

An interracial couple living up North, Betty and Barney were respected members of the community, fighting for equality and justice during the civil right era. Which is why when the couple losses time and distance after running from a UFO, at least Barney is slow to admit to anything. 

And join us for part 2 in which we find out what possibly happened to the couple and how they dealt with the aftermath of their shared experience.

We have finally made it to the end of Blackbeard's, aka Edward Teach's, story. The governors of the east coast states had had just about enough of his shenanigans. Since he was hanging out on the coast of N.C, one governor sent some of his best men to find the pirate captain and take him out. And find him they did. 

Many years later there have been reports of apparitions, lights, and even ghostly howls that scream through the night made in and around the Outer Banks where he spent most of his time. Many legends say it is Blackbeard forever seeking to find the one thing he lost that he holds most dear. His head.

This week Ian takes us through Edwards trip from the island of Hispaniola (known as Ayiti by the locals of the DR) up through to Delaware and Pennsylvania, and his path from a little pirate nobody, to one of the most feared pirates in all of written history.

Although his ships were known to fly a blood red flag, to symbolize their intent to loot and that those who resist would be killed, it's quiet possible Blackbeard never hurt a fly. He had plenty of men to do that for him.

Although even his closest ally could not trust him in the end.

It should come as a surprise to no one that with the conditions of this facility, a lot of people did not make it out alive.

Whether they died by disease, were murdered at the hands of a fellow patient, or even unalived themselves, at least eight spirits are known to haunt these halls. And a couple other strange things have made these halls their homes as well.

Felicia tells us all about some different spirits within the hospital and people's experiences with them, as well as about the family who owns it now.
