Summary

The Kelly–Hopkinsville Goblins, Part One: The Things at the Window On a sweltering Kentucky night in 1955, a family on a rural farm claimed they were surrounded by small, shining “beings” that moved through the yard, climbed onto the roof, and pressed their faces against the windows. They fired round after round into the dark. And nothing — and no one — fell. This isn’t really a story about “goblins.” It’s about fear, perception, and the split second when reality stops behaving the way we expect it to. In Part One, we step inside that farmhouse and live the night as they did: the lights in the sky, the barking dogs, the guns, and the single moment that turned unease into terror — the face at the window. Because sometimes, the real monster isn’t outside the house. It’s what the human mind creates when darkness refuses to explain itself. Listen to the end — the cliffhanger will pull you straight into Part Two. And remember: The dark doesn’t have to be empty… for it to be terrifying. 🎧 LISTEN & FOLLOW If you’re enjoying the show, make sure you’re following The Devil’s Ledger and the entire Evio Creative lineup wherever you get your podcasts—The Devil Within, The Ides of April, Criminal Mischief, Taboo Treasures, and more—so you never miss a new episode. ⭐ RATE & REVIEW Ratings and reviews genuinely help independent shows grow.

0:00.0	EEO
0:02.0	Some nights, darkness is just the slow dimming of the world.
0:15.0	The sun slips under the horizon, the fields cool, and everything that needs to sleep does so without incident.
0:22.8	Shadows are simply what happens when the light goes away. And then there are nights when
0:28.2	darkness feels like it's watching. On the rural back roads between Kelly and Hopkinsville,
0:34.0	Kentucky, the August heat of 1955 didn't let go easily. It clung to the farmhouses
0:41.6	and hung in the air like a fever. Screens rattled in their frames, dogs dozed in hard-packed dirt.
0:50.1	The only real drama most nights was the drunken drawl of a country song leaking from a neighbor's radio.
0:57.8	Until the night the sky lit up and something appeared to fall out of it.
1:03.3	What followed has been told so many ways that the story barely belongs to the people who lived it anymore.
1:09.7	There were little men, there were guns,
1:12.4	there were wide eyes, white knuckles,
1:14.8	40 odd rounds of ammunition,
1:16.5	and a house that, according to everyone inside it,
1:20.0	was under siege for hours by something that wasn't human.
1:26.2	And a few minutes from now, we're gonna reach the moment when a man looked out a farmhouse
1:30.5	window and saw a face pressed against the glass that would never entirely leave him.
1:37.5	But for now, whether that was a visitor from another world or something his own mind dragged
1:42.9	out of the darkness is the question that has been
1:45.4	scratching at the walls of this story ever since. Because sometimes the real monster
1:51.5	isn't what's outside the house. It's what the human brain does when the night refuses to
1:57.0	behave.
