Seventeen-year-old William "Bill" Bartlett claimed that, while driving on April 21, 1977, he saw an alien-like creature with "tendril-like fingers" and glowing eyes perched on top of a broken stone wall on Farm Street in Dover, Massachusetts. On the same evening, 15-year-old John Baxter reported encountering a similar entity on Miller Hill Road. The following night, another 15-year-old, Abby Brabham, asserted she witnessed the creature on Springdale Avenue.
All three teenagers created sketches of the alleged creature. Bartlett inscribed on his drawing, "I, Bill Bartlett, swear on a stack of Bibles that I saw this creature." A local news report highlighted that the locations of these sightings, when plotted on a map, formed a straight line over the course of 2 miles. The accounts of these sightings did not become public until the first half of May. At that time, a local "investigator of unexplained phenomena" noted the resemblances between the creature described by the teens and those encountered during the infamous 1955 Kelly-Hopkinsville incident.
The 1955 Kelly-Hopkinsville encounter, also known as the Hopkinsville Goblins Case, involved residents of a rural Kentucky farmhouse who claimed they were terrorized by small, goblin-like creatures with claw-like hands, large eyes, and pointed ears. The event lasted several hours and included reports of gunfire from the residents attempting to defend themselves from the perceived threat. Despite a thorough investigation, no concrete evidence was found to explain the mysterious sightings, making the Kelly-Hopkinsville encounter one of the more enigmatic and enduring cases in cryptids/UFO lore.
Recently, GBH News' All Things Considered host Arun Rath spoke about the Dover Demon with Jeff Belanger, a folklore expert and host of the “New England Legends” podcast. Click here to read the transcript.
Innovative Ghost-Free Certifying Service
Two creative college students in Chiang Mai, Thailand, have come up with a unique entrepreneurial solution for landlords and sellers dealing with "haunted" apartments. Wifei Cheng, a 21-year-old Thai-Taiwanese student at Rajamangala University of Technology Lanna, and his friend Sretthawut Boonprakhong, 22, have launched a ghost-free certifying service.
Wifei Cheng, the brain behind the idea, is willing to spend a night in an apartment where deaths have been reported to assure potential tenants or buyers that there are no supernatural entities lurking around. After a ghost-free night, Cheng will issue a certificate to put the minds of renters at ease
Cheng's services quickly gained attention after he posted about them on social media. Although he hasn't secured a client yet, he has received numerous inquiries. He is also open to taking on similar jobs at places like funeral homes, reception halls, and other possible haunted venues. Currently, the fee for his services is negotiable.
Sretthawut Boonprakhong, Cheng's associate and friend, is also ready to face the challenge, despite his own fear of ghosts. He sees this opportunity as a way to conclusively prove that ghosts do not exist. To ensure his safety on the jobs, Boonprakhong plans to arm himself with sacred amulets as an added layer of spiritual protection.
