In 1998, Diane Augat left her family home in Florida and was never seen by her family again. A few days later, she was seen walking down the highway. The day after that, a severed finger tip was found near where she’d been last seen that was identified as hers. There was some discrepancy between the nail polish she was known to be wearing and the color reported on the finger, though that could be down to reporting.

Her mother received a call from her daughter, in which she heard Dianna screaming and the sounds of a struggle.

Shortly after, a bag with items-included neatly folded clothes-believed to be hers was found in an icebox of a nearby store. This connects the case to the disappearance of a truck driver whose things were also found neatly folded in a location not far from his disappearance.

Sometime later, after the case went cold, Dianna’s sister-in-law found a similar bag in a public location. This was either planted by someone who knew the family’s movements or by the family themselves to renew interest in the case.

Takeaway: Don’t go to Florida.

The Hopskinville Goblins is legendary in UFO circles, where a family in rural Kentucky in the 1950s saw a UFO streak across the sky and go into a shootout with strange silver aliens, later determined to be owls. However, as unlikely as it seems, that’s only half the story.

In 2015, a defunct ghost hunter group got an email dscribign similar creatures by a man who lived in the area. Having been harassed by them, he had gotten know help from the police and had reached out to the group after tracking the creatures to an abandonned mine shaft. He offered the chance to get proof of aliens in exchange for help destroying the mines. The group intially ignored the email, but got a followd up and eventually decided to visit. Chelsea, at the time of recording, had no details of the trip.

Takeaway: Don’t blow up mine shafts.
