Afternoonified ·

2024/08/28

The Walton Experience

Afternoonified ·

2024/08/21

No, we’re not doing an episode on some weird 70’s prog rock band, despite what the title sounds like. This story has way more aliens, cops, skeptics and a distinct lack of probing. We’ll be taking a dive into the alleged (prepare to hear that a lot) alien abduction of Travis Walton from the forests of Arizona back in 1975.

There's also a handy guide on what to expect when you've mostly died and want to be put into cryonic suspension to be revived in a couple hundred years (probably)!
