Conspiracy, She WroteParanormal Women, pt 2: The Abduction of Betty and Barney HillBefore alien abduction became pop culture cliché, there was Betty and Barney Hill. Why did this couple's 1961 roadtrip define the abduction narrative for generations, and what did their biracial marriage have to do with it - or not? Historian Matt Bowman retraces the Hills' journey from the liberal mainstream to UFO microstardom, and Cristen has questions for Betty. Find out how identity, memory and one woman’s obsession helped shape the myth of the greys in part 2 (of 3) of the Paranormal Women miniseries.Timestamps:00:00 Introduction: Abduction Beyond Aliens(00:38) The Hills' Abduction Story2025-05-2245 min
