00:00:18.559 --> 00:00:22.679
<v Speaker 1>Hello, friends, Welcome to our latest episode. In this video,

2
00:00:23.039 --> 00:00:26.399
<v Speaker 1>we bring you mysteries of New England. Known for its

3
00:00:26.480 --> 00:00:32.159
<v Speaker 1>quaint small towns, colonial roots, crisp autumn colors, almost fifteen

4
00:00:32.200 --> 00:00:36.159
<v Speaker 1>million New Englanders called this region home. Though full of

5
00:00:36.240 --> 00:00:39.520
<v Speaker 1>natural wonder and extraordinary beauty, New England is no stranger

6
00:00:39.560 --> 00:00:42.640
<v Speaker 1>to the unexplained and has some incredibly dark secrets in

7
00:00:42.679 --> 00:00:47.119
<v Speaker 1>its illustrious past. New Englanders are fascinated by unsolved cases

8
00:00:47.159 --> 00:00:51.000
<v Speaker 1>that engage them emotionally and play on their fears, from

9
00:00:51.039 --> 00:00:54.200
<v Speaker 1>the unsolved lizzieboord Nax murders to the disappearance and murder

10
00:00:54.240 --> 00:00:58.920
<v Speaker 1>of teenage lifeguard Molly Bush. In this video, we'll examine

11
00:00:58.920 --> 00:01:02.320
<v Speaker 1>ten of New England's most prolific and unexplained mysteries, murders,

12
00:01:02.320 --> 00:01:10.920
<v Speaker 1>and disappearances. Join me, let's walk and see the murders

13
00:01:10.959 --> 00:01:14.599
<v Speaker 1>of Andrew and Abbey Borden aka the Lizzie Borden Axe

14
00:01:14.680 --> 00:01:18.079
<v Speaker 1>murders on a hot summer morning in August of eighteen

15
00:01:18.159 --> 00:01:20.879
<v Speaker 1>ninety two. One of the most infamous mysteries and murder

16
00:01:20.879 --> 00:01:24.719
<v Speaker 1>cases in American history occurred in Fall River, Massachusetts, when

17
00:01:24.760 --> 00:01:27.599
<v Speaker 1>seventy year old Andrew Borden and his wife Abby, were

18
00:01:27.640 --> 00:01:30.920
<v Speaker 1>murdered by an axe in their home. Andrews's then thirty

19
00:01:30.959 --> 00:01:34.079
<v Speaker 1>two year old daughter, Lizzie, reportedly found her father's body

20
00:01:34.120 --> 00:01:37.879
<v Speaker 1>after returning home from morning errands. The famili's maid, Bridge

21
00:01:37.879 --> 00:01:41.400
<v Speaker 1>at Sullivan, discovered Abbey's body in the second floor guest room.

22
00:01:42.079 --> 00:01:45.760
<v Speaker 1>Though generally reviewed as a reputable community member, Lizzie was

23
00:01:45.799 --> 00:01:48.359
<v Speaker 1>deemed a suspect in the double homicide, and her trial

24
00:01:48.400 --> 00:01:53.040
<v Speaker 1>began on June five, eighteen ninety three. Prosecutors alleged she

25
00:01:53.040 --> 00:01:55.480
<v Speaker 1>tried to purchase poison the day before the murders and

26
00:01:55.560 --> 00:01:59.280
<v Speaker 1>burned one of her dresses several days later. Fingerprint testing

27
00:01:59.359 --> 00:02:01.560
<v Speaker 1>was common in up at the time, but the Fall

28
00:02:01.680 --> 00:02:04.640
<v Speaker 1>River police were skeptical of its accuracy and never tested

29
00:02:04.680 --> 00:02:06.959
<v Speaker 1>for prince on a hatchet found in the Bordon's basement.

30
00:02:08.560 --> 00:02:10.759
<v Speaker 1>The fact that no blood was found on Lizzie helped

31
00:02:10.759 --> 00:02:13.159
<v Speaker 1>convince the all male jury that she was incapable of

32
00:02:13.159 --> 00:02:16.000
<v Speaker 1>the gruesome crime, and she was acquitted on June twentieth,

33
00:02:16.039 --> 00:02:20.120
<v Speaker 1>eighteen ninety thirty. Some speculated that the killer was Andrew

34
00:02:20.120 --> 00:02:24.520
<v Speaker 1>Borden's illegitimate son, William Borden, who snapped after Andrew failed

35
00:02:24.520 --> 00:02:28.719
<v Speaker 1>to submit to his extortion demands regarding finances. However, no

36
00:02:28.840 --> 00:02:31.840
<v Speaker 1>other suspects were ever charge of the murders, and Lizzie

37
00:02:31.919 --> 00:02:34.800
<v Speaker 1>succumbed to pneumonia and fall river on June first, nineteen

38
00:02:34.800 --> 00:02:38.599
<v Speaker 1>twenty seven. The Borden family home has since been transformed

39
00:02:38.599 --> 00:02:42.039
<v Speaker 1>into the Lizzie Borden Bed and Breakfast Museum, which continues

40
00:02:42.039 --> 00:02:46.039
<v Speaker 1>to attract visitors to this day. Located at two thirty

41
00:02:46.159 --> 00:02:49.479
<v Speaker 1>Second Street, visitors at the Bed and Breakfast report doors

42
00:02:49.520 --> 00:02:52.199
<v Speaker 1>opening and closing on their own, along with the mysterious

43
00:02:52.240 --> 00:02:58.639
<v Speaker 1>floral scent to some attribute to the Borden's restless spirits. Next,

44
00:02:59.039 --> 00:03:03.319
<v Speaker 1>we had the kidnapping and murder of Holly Parainen. On

45
00:03:03.360 --> 00:03:06.960
<v Speaker 1>August five, nineteen ninety three, ten year old Holly Parainen

46
00:03:07.199 --> 00:03:10.000
<v Speaker 1>returned to her grandparents' royal summer cottage on South Pond

47
00:03:10.280 --> 00:03:13.439
<v Speaker 1>in Sturbridge, Massachusetts, where she was vacationing with her family.

48
00:03:14.319 --> 00:03:17.039
<v Speaker 1>Holly spent the morning swimming with her father and two brothers.

49
00:03:17.919 --> 00:03:20.599
<v Speaker 1>After returning to the cottage, Holly and her five year

50
00:03:20.599 --> 00:03:23.240
<v Speaker 1>old brother, Zach, walked a few hundred yards to a

51
00:03:23.240 --> 00:03:25.719
<v Speaker 1>fence at the back of a neighbour's yard to visit

52
00:03:25.759 --> 00:03:29.039
<v Speaker 1>a litter of Collie puppies. Zach returned without Holly. A

53
00:03:29.080 --> 00:03:32.759
<v Speaker 1>short time later, the family looked for Holly, but only

54
00:03:32.800 --> 00:03:35.800
<v Speaker 1>one of her sneakers was found near the roadway. A

55
00:03:35.840 --> 00:03:39.240
<v Speaker 1>massive search was launched, but sadly, seventy three days later,

56
00:03:39.439 --> 00:03:43.199
<v Speaker 1>on October twenty third, nineteen ninety three, Holly's remains were

57
00:03:43.199 --> 00:03:48.479
<v Speaker 1>found in a wooded area near five Bridge Road in Brimfield, Massachusetts. Now,

58
00:03:48.599 --> 00:03:51.840
<v Speaker 1>while there's no shortage of persons of interest, Holly's killer

59
00:03:51.879 --> 00:03:55.479
<v Speaker 1>has never been found. In twenty twenty three, the District

60
00:03:55.520 --> 00:03:59.039
<v Speaker 1>Attorney's office announced a slight breakthrough after a tank top

61
00:03:59.120 --> 00:04:01.159
<v Speaker 1>was located at the crime I'm saying and the public

62
00:04:01.240 --> 00:04:03.400
<v Speaker 1>was asked to help identify where the shirt came from

63
00:04:03.520 --> 00:04:06.960
<v Speaker 1>or who it belonged to. Anyone with any information on

64
00:04:07.000 --> 00:04:09.319
<v Speaker 1>the disappearance and murder of Holly is asked to call

65
00:04:09.360 --> 00:04:13.319
<v Speaker 1>the Massachusetts State Police Detective Unit at four one three

66
00:04:13.479 --> 00:04:17.480
<v Speaker 1>five zero five five nine nine three, or text a

67
00:04:17.560 --> 00:04:20.720
<v Speaker 1>tip to Crimes that's two seven four six thirty seven

68
00:04:20.959 --> 00:04:26.040
<v Speaker 1>and type solve Holly Parining and your tip in the message. Now,

69
00:04:26.040 --> 00:04:29.600
<v Speaker 1>we have the kidnapping and murder of Molly bish On

70
00:04:29.720 --> 00:04:32.959
<v Speaker 1>June twenty seventh, two thousand, sixteen year old Molly bish

71
00:04:33.000 --> 00:04:36.600
<v Speaker 1>A Warren, Massachusetts, vanished just a day after she started

72
00:04:36.600 --> 00:04:39.160
<v Speaker 1>working as a lifeguard at a pond in her hometown.

73
00:04:40.000 --> 00:04:42.319
<v Speaker 1>The search definder became the most extensive search for a

74
00:04:42.360 --> 00:04:46.519
<v Speaker 1>missing person in Massachusetts history. Molly's story would later become

75
00:04:46.560 --> 00:04:48.399
<v Speaker 1>the focus of a two thousand and two featured by

76
00:04:48.439 --> 00:04:52.240
<v Speaker 1>Mel Allen, an editor for Yankee Magazine. At the time

77
00:04:52.240 --> 00:04:54.879
<v Speaker 1>of the article, Molly's parents still had hopes that their

78
00:04:54.959 --> 00:04:59.319
<v Speaker 1>daughter was alive. Sadly, Molly's remains were recovered just five

79
00:04:59.360 --> 00:05:02.759
<v Speaker 1>miles from her home the following year. The party or

80
00:05:02.800 --> 00:05:06.519
<v Speaker 1>parties responsible have never been found, making Molly's case one

81
00:05:06.560 --> 00:05:11.199
<v Speaker 1>of New England's most frustrating unsolved mysteries. Massachusetts State Police

82
00:05:11.279 --> 00:05:14.160
<v Speaker 1>encourage anyone with information on Molly's case to call their

83
00:05:14.160 --> 00:05:18.079
<v Speaker 1>anonymous tip line at five zero eight four five three

84
00:05:18.199 --> 00:05:25.920
<v Speaker 1>seven five seven five. Next. The Smutty Nose murders. On

85
00:05:26.000 --> 00:05:29.800
<v Speaker 1>March sixth, eighteen seventy three, Karen Christensen and her sister

86
00:05:29.800 --> 00:05:32.839
<v Speaker 1>in law, Anathay, were brutally murdered by an axe after

87
00:05:32.879 --> 00:05:36.160
<v Speaker 1>midnight on the island of Smutty Nose. Located off the Portsmouth,

88
00:05:36.199 --> 00:05:41.600
<v Speaker 1>New Hampshire coast. Karen's sister, Maren Honvedd, survived the attack

89
00:05:41.639 --> 00:05:46.360
<v Speaker 1>and testified in the trial against the accused killer, Louis Wagner. Wagner,

90
00:05:46.600 --> 00:05:49.560
<v Speaker 1>a drifter, was once a border at their Smuddy Nose house.

91
00:05:50.720 --> 00:05:53.519
<v Speaker 1>Maren's accounts of the attack horrified and fascinated the nation.

92
00:05:54.480 --> 00:05:56.959
<v Speaker 1>Wagner was convicted and hanged at the Main State Prison

93
00:05:57.000 --> 00:06:01.160
<v Speaker 1>in Thomaston on June twenty fifth, eighteen seventy five. Whether

94
00:06:01.240 --> 00:06:03.720
<v Speaker 1>Wagner was actually responsible for the murders has been up

95
00:06:03.759 --> 00:06:07.680
<v Speaker 1>for debate since his arrest in subsequent hanging. In March

96
00:06:07.680 --> 00:06:10.720
<v Speaker 1>from nineteen eighty, Yankee magazine published a story about the

97
00:06:10.720 --> 00:06:13.560
<v Speaker 1>gruesome crime, which sparked a letter from L. Morrole Burke,

98
00:06:13.920 --> 00:06:18.079
<v Speaker 1>an associate professor at the University's Southern Maine. Burke concluded

99
00:06:18.160 --> 00:06:21.959
<v Speaker 1>quote the blood on Wagner's clothes was likely fish blood

100
00:06:22.160 --> 00:06:26.759
<v Speaker 1>end quote. The real culprit in his analysis was Maren onvet.

101
00:06:27.959 --> 00:06:30.160
<v Speaker 1>Professor Burke claimed that the wounds on the two victims

102
00:06:30.199 --> 00:06:34.399
<v Speaker 1>were radically placed, superficial and inflicted by a quote feminine

103
00:06:34.480 --> 00:06:36.199
<v Speaker 1>arm rather than a man who could grow The twelve

104
00:06:36.240 --> 00:06:39.480
<v Speaker 1>miles to Smutty Nose in a dory end quote. Burke

105
00:06:39.519 --> 00:06:41.920
<v Speaker 1>went on to say, not only did Maren survive the attack,

106
00:06:42.199 --> 00:06:46.879
<v Speaker 1>but she was completely uninjured. Others speculate Maren's husband, John

107
00:06:46.959 --> 00:06:50.079
<v Speaker 1>as the killer. The Smutty Nose murders remained one of

108
00:06:50.120 --> 00:06:58.360
<v Speaker 1>New England's most puzzling mysteries. The Burke Share UFO incident,

109
00:06:58.560 --> 00:07:01.199
<v Speaker 1>also known as the Great Barrington UFO siding, as one

110
00:07:01.199 --> 00:07:04.759
<v Speaker 1>of American history's most famous UFO sidings. It occurred on

111
00:07:04.800 --> 00:07:07.360
<v Speaker 1>the night of September first, nineteen sixty nine, in the

112
00:07:07.360 --> 00:07:11.360
<v Speaker 1>small town of Sheffield, Massachusetts, located in the Berkshire Mountains.

113
00:07:11.600 --> 00:07:13.800
<v Speaker 1>The incident began when a thirty six year ollow farmer

114
00:07:13.879 --> 00:07:16.399
<v Speaker 1>named tom Ma Reid drove home from a family gathering

115
00:07:16.639 --> 00:07:19.680
<v Speaker 1>with his mother, brother, and two friends. As they drove

116
00:07:19.720 --> 00:07:22.439
<v Speaker 1>along a deserted road, they saw a bright light in

117
00:07:22.480 --> 00:07:25.040
<v Speaker 1>the sky that seemed to follow them. The light grew

118
00:07:25.160 --> 00:07:28.560
<v Speaker 1>larger and brighter until it was directly over their car. Suddenly,

119
00:07:28.720 --> 00:07:31.879
<v Speaker 1>the car's engine stalled and they heard a loud, pulsating sound.

120
00:07:32.560 --> 00:07:34.439
<v Speaker 1>The next thing they knew, they were sitting in the

121
00:07:34.480 --> 00:07:36.959
<v Speaker 1>car on the side of the road, about three hundred

122
00:07:36.959 --> 00:07:40.439
<v Speaker 1>feet from where they had been previously. They all had strange,

123
00:07:40.560 --> 00:07:45.000
<v Speaker 1>unexplainable injuries and a sense of confusion and disorientation. Tom

124
00:07:45.120 --> 00:07:47.360
<v Speaker 1>Reid later reported that he had a triangular burn mark

125
00:07:47.439 --> 00:07:50.120
<v Speaker 1>on his neck, while his mother had a similar pattern

126
00:07:50.160 --> 00:07:53.279
<v Speaker 1>on her wrist. The group returned home and reported the

127
00:07:53.279 --> 00:07:57.480
<v Speaker 1>incident to the local police. The story quickly made headlines,

128
00:07:57.759 --> 00:08:00.519
<v Speaker 1>and soon other witnesses came forward with their accounts of

129
00:08:00.560 --> 00:08:04.000
<v Speaker 1>strange lights in the sky that night. The most compelling

130
00:08:04.040 --> 00:08:07.160
<v Speaker 1>testimony came from a local radio station employee who claim

131
00:08:07.199 --> 00:08:10.120
<v Speaker 1>they have seen a large, metallic craft hovering over the town.

132
00:08:11.279 --> 00:08:14.439
<v Speaker 1>The incident gained national attention, and even the United States

133
00:08:14.439 --> 00:08:17.879
<v Speaker 1>Air Force got involved. They sent investigators to the scene

134
00:08:17.959 --> 00:08:22.000
<v Speaker 1>and conducted a thorough investigation, which included interviews with eyewitnesses

135
00:08:22.240 --> 00:08:26.160
<v Speaker 1>and an analysis of the physical evidence. However, the report

136
00:08:26.199 --> 00:08:29.160
<v Speaker 1>concluded that there was no evidence to support the existence

137
00:08:29.199 --> 00:08:31.839
<v Speaker 1>of a UFO and that the incident was likely due

138
00:08:31.879 --> 00:08:36.960
<v Speaker 1>to quote natural phenomena end quote. Despite the Air Force conclusion,

139
00:08:37.200 --> 00:08:41.200
<v Speaker 1>many believe the Berkshare UFO incident was an extraterrestrial encounter.

140
00:08:41.960 --> 00:08:45.039
<v Speaker 1>Numerous books, articles, and documentaries have been written and filmed

141
00:08:45.080 --> 00:08:47.360
<v Speaker 1>in the year since the incident, and it has become

142
00:08:47.399 --> 00:08:51.399
<v Speaker 1>a staple of UFO lore. One of the most intriguing

143
00:08:51.440 --> 00:08:54.759
<v Speaker 1>aspects of the Berkshare UFO incident is the number of

144
00:08:54.759 --> 00:08:59.120
<v Speaker 1>witnesses who came forward. While the original group consisted of

145
00:08:59.159 --> 00:09:02.559
<v Speaker 1>only five people, more than forty others reported seeing strange

146
00:09:02.639 --> 00:09:05.720
<v Speaker 1>lights in the sky that night. Many of these witnesses

147
00:09:05.720 --> 00:09:09.879
<v Speaker 1>were highly respected members of the community, including police officers, firefighters,

148
00:09:09.919 --> 00:09:14.960
<v Speaker 1>and government officials. Another puzzling aspect of this incident is

149
00:09:14.960 --> 00:09:18.480
<v Speaker 1>the physical evidence. The triangular burnmarks on Tom Reid's neck

150
00:09:18.559 --> 00:09:21.639
<v Speaker 1>and his mother's wrist are challenging to explain, and some

151
00:09:21.720 --> 00:09:25.279
<v Speaker 1>have suggested that there are evidence of alien abduction. The

152
00:09:25.320 --> 00:09:27.960
<v Speaker 1>fact that the car is enginstalled in the group's sense

153
00:09:27.960 --> 00:09:32.279
<v Speaker 1>of disorientation is also consistent with other UFO encounters. The

154
00:09:32.360 --> 00:09:36.879
<v Speaker 1>Workshare UFO incident is one of American history's most intriguing sightings.

155
00:09:37.480 --> 00:09:40.080
<v Speaker 1>While the Air Force investigation concluded that there was no

156
00:09:40.120 --> 00:09:43.240
<v Speaker 1>evidence to support the existence of a UFO, many people

157
00:09:43.320 --> 00:09:47.360
<v Speaker 1>remain convinced that the incident was an actual extraterrestrial encounter.

158
00:09:48.200 --> 00:09:50.639
<v Speaker 1>The number of witnesses and the physical evidence make the

159
00:09:50.679 --> 00:09:57.559
<v Speaker 1>incident challenging to dismiss, and now frozen to death. Another

160
00:09:57.600 --> 00:10:00.879
<v Speaker 1>of New England's most unusual unsolved mysteries was chronicled by

161
00:10:00.879 --> 00:10:04.039
<v Speaker 1>former Yankee editor in chief Judson Hale, who accounted the

162
00:10:04.039 --> 00:10:07.000
<v Speaker 1>tale in his nineteen eighty two book Inside New England.

163
00:10:07.960 --> 00:10:11.600
<v Speaker 1>In nineteen thirty nine, doctor Temple S Fay of Philadelphia,

164
00:10:11.679 --> 00:10:15.200
<v Speaker 1>who experimented with freezing human organs, gave a lecture in Providence,

165
00:10:15.279 --> 00:10:18.240
<v Speaker 1>Rhode Island, in which he related a grotesque story he

166
00:10:18.279 --> 00:10:21.480
<v Speaker 1>believed to be valid. Face said the incident occurred just

167
00:10:21.559 --> 00:10:26.000
<v Speaker 1>outside Montpeelier, Vermont, around nineteen hundred. Doctor Faye read from

168
00:10:26.000 --> 00:10:29.440
<v Speaker 1>an old diary kept by his late uncle Williams. Williams

169
00:10:29.519 --> 00:10:33.279
<v Speaker 1>visited a remote community outside Montpeelier on January seventh and

170
00:10:33.320 --> 00:10:35.879
<v Speaker 1>found all the community's elders lying on a cabin floor,

171
00:10:36.120 --> 00:10:40.120
<v Speaker 1>drugged and unconscious. Williams describes how the elders were nude

172
00:10:40.159 --> 00:10:42.919
<v Speaker 1>except for a single garment, carried outside in the bitter

173
00:10:42.960 --> 00:10:47.240
<v Speaker 1>cold air and placed on logs. Williams continued quote, and

174
00:10:47.320 --> 00:10:50.679
<v Speaker 1>the full moon occasionally obscured by flying clouds shown on

175
00:10:50.720 --> 00:10:54.519
<v Speaker 1>their upturned, ghastly faces, and a horrible fascination camped me

176
00:10:54.559 --> 00:10:56.240
<v Speaker 1>by the bodies as long as I could endure the

177
00:10:56.279 --> 00:10:59.759
<v Speaker 1>severe cold. Soon the noses, ears, and fingers began to

178
00:10:59.759 --> 00:11:03.399
<v Speaker 1>turn white. Then the limbs and faces assumed a tallow look.

179
00:11:04.240 --> 00:11:06.600
<v Speaker 1>I could stand the cold no longer and went inside,

180
00:11:06.960 --> 00:11:10.559
<v Speaker 1>where I found the friends in cheerful conversation. In about

181
00:11:10.600 --> 00:11:12.679
<v Speaker 1>an hour, I went out and looked at the bodies.

182
00:11:13.200 --> 00:11:17.639
<v Speaker 1>They were fast freezing. End quote. Fay continues quote. The

183
00:11:17.679 --> 00:11:20.320
<v Speaker 1>next day, the bodies were covered with straw, placed in

184
00:11:20.440 --> 00:11:23.240
<v Speaker 1>layers in a huge wooden enclosure to protect them from animals,

185
00:11:23.279 --> 00:11:27.120
<v Speaker 1>and left there end quote. The following May, all the

186
00:11:27.159 --> 00:11:29.559
<v Speaker 1>frozen elders were brought inside and placed in tubs of

187
00:11:29.559 --> 00:11:32.840
<v Speaker 1>warm water with hymlock until they revived, after which they

188
00:11:32.879 --> 00:11:35.320
<v Speaker 1>went about their business, refreshed by their long sleep of

189
00:11:35.399 --> 00:11:39.840
<v Speaker 1>four months. What actually occurred in Montpeeler that winter remains

190
00:11:39.840 --> 00:11:44.200
<v Speaker 1>a mystery that brings us to the Isabella Stuart Gardner

191
00:11:44.279 --> 00:11:48.720
<v Speaker 1>Museum heist. On March eighteenth, nineteen ninety two, men posing

192
00:11:48.720 --> 00:11:51.480
<v Speaker 1>as police officers responding to a disturbance call entered the

193
00:11:51.519 --> 00:11:56.200
<v Speaker 1>Isabella Stuart Gardner Museum in Boston, Massachusetts. Ultimately, this was

194
00:11:56.240 --> 00:11:59.200
<v Speaker 1>only a scheme to swipe valuable works of art. The

195
00:11:59.240 --> 00:12:01.879
<v Speaker 1>suspects tied up the guards and stole thirteen pieces of

196
00:12:01.960 --> 00:12:05.000
<v Speaker 1>art valued at more than five hundred million dollars, including

197
00:12:05.039 --> 00:12:09.879
<v Speaker 1>works by Vermier, Rembrandt, Degas and Manette. It is the

198
00:12:09.879 --> 00:12:12.519
<v Speaker 1>most significant theft of private property in terms of sheer

199
00:12:12.600 --> 00:12:16.200
<v Speaker 1>value in history. It has speculated that the robbery was

200
00:12:16.240 --> 00:12:18.919
<v Speaker 1>the work of a criminal organization, but no arrests have

201
00:12:19.000 --> 00:12:22.200
<v Speaker 1>ever been made. The Gardener Museum continues to offer a

202
00:12:22.200 --> 00:12:25.039
<v Speaker 1>monetary reward for information leading to the recovery of the art,

203
00:12:25.240 --> 00:12:27.440
<v Speaker 1>and the spaces in the museum where the paintings once

204
00:12:27.519 --> 00:12:33.840
<v Speaker 1>hung remain empty. Next the strange disappearance of Britney t

205
00:12:35.039 --> 00:12:38.480
<v Speaker 1>On January tenth, twenty twenty three, thirty five year old

206
00:12:38.480 --> 00:12:42.200
<v Speaker 1>Britney Tea vanished after leaving the Brookfield, Massachusetts home she

207
00:12:42.279 --> 00:12:46.279
<v Speaker 1>shared with her boyfriend. Britney's vehicle, Befort, was not working,

208
00:12:46.720 --> 00:12:48.480
<v Speaker 1>and she left on foot on one of the coldest

209
00:12:48.559 --> 00:12:51.480
<v Speaker 1>nights of the year. Britney's loved ones say is unlike

210
00:12:51.519 --> 00:12:54.960
<v Speaker 1>her to disappear without making contact. She was reported missing

211
00:12:55.000 --> 00:12:57.679
<v Speaker 1>by her family a few days later, prompting an immediate

212
00:12:57.679 --> 00:13:00.759
<v Speaker 1>search of the area. The case had a heavy social

213
00:13:00.759 --> 00:13:03.600
<v Speaker 1>media presence from the beginning and a Facebook group keeps

214
00:13:03.639 --> 00:13:08.840
<v Speaker 1>the public notified of any updates local woods, backyards, parked cars,

215
00:13:08.879 --> 00:13:11.799
<v Speaker 1>and parks such as Lewis Field near where Brittany was

216
00:13:11.879 --> 00:13:16.360
<v Speaker 1>last seen or searched. Among those interviewed were Brittany's boyfriend,

217
00:13:16.720 --> 00:13:20.159
<v Speaker 1>who was described as cooperative. Authority said there is no

218
00:13:20.200 --> 00:13:23.559
<v Speaker 1>evidence the crime was committed and no suspects have been named.

219
00:13:24.480 --> 00:13:27.039
<v Speaker 1>Brittany t is five foot six inches tall, with brown

220
00:13:27.080 --> 00:13:29.240
<v Speaker 1>hair and blue eyes, and was last seen wearing a

221
00:13:29.240 --> 00:13:34.080
<v Speaker 1>black winter coat, hoodie, jeans, and work boots. As previously mentioned,

222
00:13:34.360 --> 00:13:38.159
<v Speaker 1>temperatures were near record lows when Brittany went missing. Anyone

223
00:13:38.240 --> 00:13:41.759
<v Speaker 1>with any information on Britney's disappearance or whereabouts is asked

224
00:13:41.799 --> 00:13:44.799
<v Speaker 1>to call the dedicated tip line at five zero eight

225
00:13:45.320 --> 00:13:50.960
<v Speaker 1>four five three seven five eight nine next. The Betty

226
00:13:51.000 --> 00:13:55.279
<v Speaker 1>and Barney Hill incident. Now there have been numerous UFO

227
00:13:55.279 --> 00:13:58.159
<v Speaker 1>sidings since the first reported one in nineteen forty seven.

228
00:13:58.519 --> 00:14:00.679
<v Speaker 1>One of the most notable is that of Betty and

229
00:14:00.720 --> 00:14:03.720
<v Speaker 1>Barney Hill, an American couple who became famous in the

230
00:14:03.799 --> 00:14:08.159
<v Speaker 1>nineteen sixties, were claiming to be abducted by extraterrestrial beings.

231
00:14:08.519 --> 00:14:10.840
<v Speaker 1>The Hills were driving back to their Portsmouth, New Hampshire,

232
00:14:10.840 --> 00:14:15.159
<v Speaker 1>home on September nineteenth, nineteen sixty one, after vacationing in Canada.

233
00:14:16.039 --> 00:14:18.799
<v Speaker 1>While driving through the White Mountains, they noticed a bright

234
00:14:18.879 --> 00:14:22.080
<v Speaker 1>light in the sky that seemed to follow them. At first,

235
00:14:22.200 --> 00:14:24.559
<v Speaker 1>they thought it was a shooting star, but it soon

236
00:14:24.639 --> 00:14:27.960
<v Speaker 1>became apparent that it was something else Entirely. As they

237
00:14:28.000 --> 00:14:31.240
<v Speaker 1>continued to drive, the light grew closer and brighter, and

238
00:14:31.279 --> 00:14:33.519
<v Speaker 1>eventually they could see that it was a large, disc

239
00:14:33.639 --> 00:14:36.279
<v Speaker 1>shaped object that appeared to be hovering above the tree

240
00:14:36.279 --> 00:14:40.360
<v Speaker 1>tops and was utterly silent. Barney stopped the car and

241
00:14:40.399 --> 00:14:44.320
<v Speaker 1>they got out to look closer. According to their later accounts,

242
00:14:44.720 --> 00:14:47.759
<v Speaker 1>the Hills saw several humanoid creatures looking out at them

243
00:14:47.759 --> 00:14:50.960
<v Speaker 1>from the craft's windows. These beings were described as about

244
00:14:50.960 --> 00:14:54.519
<v Speaker 1>five feet tall, with gray skin and large wraparound eyes.

245
00:14:55.039 --> 00:14:57.960
<v Speaker 1>They were wearing black uniforms and seemed to be communicating

246
00:14:57.960 --> 00:14:59.799
<v Speaker 1>with each other in a language that the Hills could

247
00:14:59.799 --> 00:15:03.919
<v Speaker 1>not understand. Terrified, the Hills fled to their car and

248
00:15:04.000 --> 00:15:08.080
<v Speaker 1>left as fast as possible. They began to experience strange sensations,

249
00:15:08.240 --> 00:15:11.039
<v Speaker 1>including a tingling sensation in their bodies and a buzzing

250
00:15:11.080 --> 00:15:14.399
<v Speaker 1>sound in their ears. They claimed the car was vibrating

251
00:15:14.600 --> 00:15:18.360
<v Speaker 1>and the steering wheel was becoming difficult to control. The

252
00:15:18.440 --> 00:15:20.879
<v Speaker 1>Hills realized that they could not account for two hours.

253
00:15:20.919 --> 00:15:23.919
<v Speaker 1>When they returned home, they also noticed physical evidence that

254
00:15:24.000 --> 00:15:27.600
<v Speaker 1>something unusual had happened to them. Betty's dress was torn,

255
00:15:27.879 --> 00:15:30.840
<v Speaker 1>the lighting was ripped out, and Barney's shoes were scraped

256
00:15:30.840 --> 00:15:33.080
<v Speaker 1>and sculped in away that suggested he had been dragged.

257
00:15:34.159 --> 00:15:37.120
<v Speaker 1>Over the next few days, the Hills began to experience

258
00:15:37.200 --> 00:15:40.879
<v Speaker 1>strange dreams and nightmares. Betty dreamed of being taking aboard

259
00:15:40.879 --> 00:15:44.120
<v Speaker 1>the craft and subjected to a medical examination, while Barney

260
00:15:44.200 --> 00:15:47.480
<v Speaker 1>dreamed of being interrogated by these beings. These dreams and

261
00:15:47.600 --> 00:15:51.120
<v Speaker 1>nightmares continued for several weeks, and the Hills became increasingly

262
00:15:51.159 --> 00:15:55.679
<v Speaker 1>convinced that aliens had abducted them. Eventually, they sought the

263
00:15:55.679 --> 00:15:59.559
<v Speaker 1>help of a local psychiatrist named doctor Benjamin Simon. Under

264
00:15:59.600 --> 00:16:03.480
<v Speaker 1>hypno Betty and Varney recounted their experiences in great detail,

265
00:16:03.799 --> 00:16:06.559
<v Speaker 1>including their encounters with the beings and the medical procedures

266
00:16:06.559 --> 00:16:11.159
<v Speaker 1>performed on them. According to Betty, the beings had shown

267
00:16:11.159 --> 00:16:13.559
<v Speaker 1>her a map depicting a series of interconnected lines and

268
00:16:13.600 --> 00:16:17.799
<v Speaker 1>dots representing various stars and Star Systems. She would later

269
00:16:17.879 --> 00:16:21.120
<v Speaker 1>draw the star map for doctor Simon. The Hill's story

270
00:16:21.159 --> 00:16:23.480
<v Speaker 1>became the subject of much debate and controversy in the

271
00:16:23.519 --> 00:16:27.159
<v Speaker 1>following years. Skeptics argued that the Hill's experiences could be

272
00:16:27.159 --> 00:16:31.720
<v Speaker 1>explained by sleep paralysis or other psychological phenomena, while believers

273
00:16:31.759 --> 00:16:36.799
<v Speaker 1>saw their story as proof of alien visitation. Despite the controversy,

274
00:16:37.159 --> 00:16:39.639
<v Speaker 1>the Hill's story has remained one of history's most well

275
00:16:39.679 --> 00:16:43.600
<v Speaker 1>known and influential cases of UFO abduction. It has inspired

276
00:16:43.639 --> 00:16:47.120
<v Speaker 1>countless books, movies, and TV shows, and continues to fascinate

277
00:16:47.159 --> 00:16:53.039
<v Speaker 1>and intrigue people worldwide. And finally, we have the disappearance

278
00:16:53.240 --> 00:16:57.639
<v Speaker 1>of Kathy Moulton. On September twenty fourth, nineteen seventy one,

279
00:16:58.120 --> 00:17:02.000
<v Speaker 1>sixteen year old Kathy Marie Molton disappeared after school in

280
00:17:02.039 --> 00:17:04.920
<v Speaker 1>the downtown area of Portland, Maine, after being dropped off

281
00:17:04.960 --> 00:17:08.359
<v Speaker 1>by her father to go shopping. Kathy was supposed to

282
00:17:08.359 --> 00:17:10.559
<v Speaker 1>take a bus home for dinner and then attended dance

283
00:17:10.599 --> 00:17:13.519
<v Speaker 1>at the YWCA with friends later that night, but she

284
00:17:13.599 --> 00:17:18.079
<v Speaker 1>never returned. Her father, Roy, drove around the city looking

285
00:17:18.119 --> 00:17:21.440
<v Speaker 1>for her, while her mother, Claire, called neighbors and friends

286
00:17:21.440 --> 00:17:24.799
<v Speaker 1>to see if anyone had seen Kathy. The search for

287
00:17:24.920 --> 00:17:29.480
<v Speaker 1>Kathy was marked by frustration. Investigators seemingly failed to investigate

288
00:17:29.519 --> 00:17:32.680
<v Speaker 1>why she'd gone missing, and witnesses were unwilling to explain

289
00:17:32.759 --> 00:17:37.160
<v Speaker 1>what happened. Retired Portland detective Kevin Katie, who worked on

290
00:17:37.200 --> 00:17:40.359
<v Speaker 1>the case in the nineteen ninety said, quote, this wasn't

291
00:17:40.400 --> 00:17:43.200
<v Speaker 1>in the press. This wasn't a big talked about thing

292
00:17:43.279 --> 00:17:46.279
<v Speaker 1>like it might meet today with social media. It certainly

293
00:17:46.319 --> 00:17:50.039
<v Speaker 1>would have gotten a lot more fanfare now end quote.

294
00:17:50.240 --> 00:17:52.480
<v Speaker 1>The attitudes of the era were that she was probably

295
00:17:52.519 --> 00:17:55.440
<v Speaker 1>just rebelling or protesting, or ran off with her boyfriend

296
00:17:55.480 --> 00:17:57.960
<v Speaker 1>if he got drafted. It was not taken with the

297
00:17:58.000 --> 00:18:01.240
<v Speaker 1>seriousness that it was to our family, said Kim Higgins,

298
00:18:01.440 --> 00:18:06.640
<v Speaker 1>Kathy's younger sister. In the years since Kathy's disappearance, detectives
