The Hopkinsville ''Goblins''

By Crusader1307

Regardless if these ''Goblins'' were Extraterrestrial, Supernatural or a simple Hoax something unusual happened to The Taylor and Sutton Families at their Farmhouse in Hopkinsville, Kentucky on August 21, 1955. The Families lived in a Farmhouse without electricity or running water. Lighting was accomplished with lanterns and candles and water was retrieved from an outside Water Pump. On the night in question, one of the younger Sutton boys went outside to get the night's water supply. He ran back inside stating that a ''strange creature'' had come out of the woods near him and began to approach him. Described as 3-feet tall with long pointed ears and yellow eyes they were also said to have a reptilian appearance . The older members of The Family grabbed their guns and went out to investigate. Going outside, the men said they saw 10 to 15 of these creatures approaching The Farmhouse. They appeared to float (with others seeming to drift back and forth, as if wading through water). Terrified, the men ran back inside and secured all their doors and windows.

The Beings never attempted to gain entry but they could be heard walking and jumping on the roof and banging the walls from the outside. The Beings seemed to try and scare the terrified occupants by popping up in different windows (showing their frightening faces to those inside). The men of the Family grew tired of this harassing and got their guns again. This time they went outside and fired into several of the Beings. They said that they could hear their bullet strikes hitting something metallic . The shots did nothing to the creatures but they did retreat back into the woods. Turning to their Farmhouse roof, they fired at another group of Beings. These did not fall to the ground but appeared to float . Fearing that the Goblins would eventually gain entry into the house (and their Families safety) the Families made their way to their vehicle and made a run to Town. Unknown to the Families, local Police had had several strange reports as well. Several Officers even stated that they had seen strange glowing lights and the sound of rocket engines over the local Highway.

Telling their story to local Authorities, the Police investigated the Farmhouse and woods. Nothing was found save one item. Large splotches of greenish fluid (assumed to be Goblin blood), was found near where the men had said they first fired upon the Beings. After the Police left, around 2:15 A.M. A Family member again said that a Goblin face appeared in a bedroom window. He got his gun and fired directly through the glass. The Being disappeared and not further incidents occurred that morning -or ever. The Case made it to Project: Blue Book (who deemed it a Hoax).........Or Was It?
