About this episode

The episode discusses the Buff Ledge abduction case involving camp counselors and a UFO sighting on Lake Champlain in 1968.

On the shores of Vermont’s Lake Champlain in the summer of 1968, two camp counselors watched a glowing craft descend over the dark water before losing hours of time they could never explain. What followed were terrifying dreams, recovered memories, hypnosis sessions, and claims of telepathic contact that would haunt them for decades. Known today as the Buff Ledge abduction case, the encounter became one of New England’s most chilling and heavily investigated UFO cases.
