Every week Twisted Two's dives into a pair of uniquely terrifying true stories that are worthy of a more in depth look.#1 The North Pond HermitFor years urban legends circulated around Maine about a hermit living in it’s dense forests. But little did they know, the story was more than just a legend and was something that was very real. For nearly 27 years, Christopher Knight had no contact with other people. He never spoke to anybody but committed thousands of burglaries in houses around the areas that he roamed. When he was 20 years old, Knight simply took his car, left his family home without saying goodbye and drove off. His road trip took him to Florida and when he drove back, he passed by his hometown of Albion and contined North until he nearly ran out of gas. On that small dirt road, he took his car keys, placed them on the dashboard, reached for a tent he had never used before and trecked into the woods. For two whole years he hiked the land sustaining himself by stealing food from people's gardens and homes. Eventually he came across his ideal site to settle down. People nearby called the area, "The Jarsey." #2 Alien ImplantsAlien implants refer to a foreign physical object that’s placed inside a person' body after they have been taken or abducted by aliens. While many abductees have claimed that implants have been inserted in them, the idea still remains in the realm of science fiction for many. Alien implants first received mainstream attention in 1957 when UFOlogist John Robinson was being interviewed over the radio and he said that a neighbor, claiming to be an alien abductee in 1938, mentioned receiving "small earphones" that were placed behind his ears. Soon after that reports of abductees started pouring in. In 1967, Betty Andreasson said aliens implanted a device in her nose when she was taken. Another woman from Canada also stated having a similar experience during her abduction that occurred in 1983. Roger Leir, a California podiatrist, tried to find proof of these so called alien implants. When he first heard about the phenomenon, he was curious but admittedly skeptical, but wanted to find and study them. Even though it was an unusual move to find people, he managed to get subjects that were willing to undergo surgery in order to retrieve the implants. More than 10 subjects had reported having alien abduction experiences and two of these were Pat Parrinellio (47) and Mary Jones (52). Both were investigated and then referred to Dr. Leir for the possible surgery.Support the show
