Mystery

Celebrate World UFO Day the Hoptown Way!

July 2nd has been designated World UFO Day by the World UFO Day Organization, which was founded to “raise awareness about the undoubted existence of UFO’s and with that intelligent beings from outer space.”

Here in Christian County, we have our own UFO history with the “Little Green Men” Encounter! In 1955, the Sutton family had an all night battle with aliens at their home in Kelly, Kentucky. Legend has it that between the hours of 11pm and 2am, the Sutton family has a shoot-out with a dozen aliens who were terrorizing, taunting, and scaring the family. The visitors were impervious to the bullets fired at them, and seemed to grow stronger through the fighting.

Lucky Sutton finally escaped the home and ran to Hopkinsville to contact the police for assistance. Despite the the police being on the scene for two hours, the extra terrestrial visitors were not seen again. It’s a mystery that has captivated truth-seekers around the world.

Each year in August, you can celebrate and learn all about these visitors at the Kelly “Little Green Men” Days!

Be Mesmerized by Hypnotist Doug MacCraw!

The Museums of Historic Hopkinsville-Christian County are bringing a bit of mystery and wonder to the Alhambra! Here is some more info about the event:

“Be mesmerized with the Museums of Historic Hopkinsville-Christian County! Join us on Saturday, March 29, 2014 at 7:30pm as we welcome celebrity hypnotist Doug MacCraw to the Alhambra Theatre stage. MacCraw is a natural at combining his skills as a stand-up comedian with the science of hypnotism to create the most fast-paced, professional Comedy Stage Hypnosis Show in the country today. Dare to join our own Museum Director Alissa Keller and Christian County Historian William T. Turner and others on stage. This performance is not to be missed!


This fun-filled hypnotist show is offered in conjunction with the 22nd annual Edgar Cayce Hometown Seminar to be held March 28-30, 2014. Best-selling authors Sidney and Nancy Kirkpatrick join the Museums to pay tribute to Hopkinsville’s most famous son. Join the experts for an exciting weekend of lectures, discussions, and a guided tour of local sites important to Cayce’s story. Edgar Cayce discovered his gifts while hypnotized on a stage in Hopkinsville. Maybe the next Edgar Cayce is already among us!
