It was November of 1975. The days were short and the mustaches were long. Life was good for Travis Walton. He was 22, with a girlfriend and a good job, where he worked as a logger alongside his best friend. One day, the crew of 7 men went into the woods and only 6 of them came out. Travis Walton was missing. The next five days would span an investigation that would change the course of history, and interstellar life as we knew it then. What happened to Travis?

Elan School of Horrors

We're coming BACK for you, baby!! We're coming BACK FOR YOU!!We missed ya and we brought you this episode as a souvenir from our absence! Parenting is hard. The law in the U.S. doesn't offer a lot of guidance, leaving it up to parents to decide how to reward or discipline their child. Some parents decide to be gentle, some decide to be authoritarian. But what if those methods don't work? What would you do if your child became out of control?Enter Elan School - a resource for parents of said out-of-control children. A school that promised to sort out any behavioral problems. That's right! A place for parents to send their promiscuous, thieving, drug addicted, school skipping, or just autistic, children and teens. WHAT COULD GO WRONG?A kid from the Kennedy family, a man named Sticks in the woods, murder, questionable school systems, arson, lots of uh.... I guess.... therapy....? AND MORE, on this week's episode! ENJOY!!This week's episode has a slight mumbly audio quality at some points, as we were away from our usual set up in the process of moving. Please forgive and look forward to next week when we don't have that problem anymore! <3Intro song.Sources for this week.
