Bob Hill and his new wife, Betty, are vacationing in Europe, near Transylvania .
They drive in a rental car along a rather deserted highway.
It is late, raining very hard and Bob can barely see the road in front of the car.
Suddenly, the car skids out of control. Bob attempts to control it, but to no avail. The car swerves and smashes into a tree...
Moments later, Bob shakes his head to clear the fog. Dazed, he looks over at the passenger seat and sees Betty unconscious, with her head bleeding.
Despite the rain and unfamiliar countryside, Bob knows he has to get her medical assistance. He carefully picks her up and begins trudging down the road. After a short while, he sees a light and heads towards it, which is coming from a large, old house. He approaches the door and knocks. A small, hunched man opens the door..
Bob blurts, "Hello, my name is Bob Hill and this is my wife Betty. We've been in a terrible accident, and my wife has been Seriously hurt. Can I please use your phone?"
"I'm sorry," replies the hunchback, "but we don't have a phone. My master is a doctor. Come in, and I will get him."
Bob brings his wife in.
An older man comes down the stairs. "I'm afraid my assistant may have misled you. I am not a medical doctor; I am a scientist. However, it is many miles to the nearest clinic, and I have had some basic medical training. I will see what I can do. Igor, bring them down to the laboratory."
With that, Igor picks up Betty and carries her downstairs, with Bob following closely. Igor places Betty on a table in the lab. Bob collapses from exhaustion and his own injuries, so Igor places Bob on an adjoining table.
After a brief examination, Igor's master looks worried. "Things are serious,Igor. Prepare a transfusion."
Igor and his master work feverishly, but to no avail. Bob and Betty Hill are no more.
The Hills' deaths upsets Igor's master greatly. Wearily, he climbs the steps to his conservatory, which houses his grand piano. It is here that he has always found solace and he begins to play. A stirring, almost haunting melody fills the house.
Meanwhile, Igor is still in the lab tidying up. His eyes catch movement, and he notices the fingers on Betty's hand twitch, keeping time to the haunting piano music. Stunned, he watches as Bob's arm begins to rise, marking the beat. He is further amazed as Betty and Bob both sit up straight!
Unable to contain himself, he dashes up the stairs to the conservatory. He bursts in and shouts to his master:
"Master, Master! The Hills are alive with the sound of music!"
What did you expect?
Betty an Barney Hill,
A movie was made about their
“Abduction” .
Very bad experience for them but
A Great movie!!
I had never heard of the Hills until I started this ‘humor’ thread and a few FReepers mentioned the UFO encounter in 1961.
It seems to have been fully investigated and treated very seriously by all involved.
Chit chat can be educational;)
A book was written...
I may still have a copy,
And the story of the two describing
the terror inflicted on them was horrendous!
Betty and Barney came across as
almost feeble minded yet
not given to bizarre attitudes about life.
I felt sorry for them.
They have started pouring the foundation for the Obama library in Kenya...
