#hellierseason2

Contributed by Kris Rustic, Host of Obscure Anomalies Podcast

Many may remember a strange little documentary that cause quite a stir back in January of 2019 that followed a group of paranormal investigators as they become entangled in a case right in the heart of the Appalachian coal county.

To those that may have missed it, the five-part season followed Greg and Dana Newkirk, Karl Pfeiffer, and Connor Randall as the head to Hellier, Kentucky in search of a man who claimed that their were small, alien like creatures that were emerging from the abandoned mine shafts on his property. However, things were not as simple as they appear. What they uncovered was more than a case of goblins in caves, but more of a never ending mystery.

The beauty of the first season was that you felt like a part of the team. Unlike your Ghost Adventurers, Ghost Hunters, and countless In Search of Bigfoot documentaries, Hellier took a more of a boots to the ground approach, taking you along on their journey, dead ends and all. Hellier was a true to life documentary without the exaggerations, without the everything-is-a-demon approach, and without the forced answers.

Season Two, which started filming before season one even aired, picks up right were the First Season ended and will follow the original team, along with the new recruit/caving expert Tyler Strand, as they investigate a frightening new lead that seems to take them further down the rabbit hole that soon descends into an Appalachian conspiracy involving murder, occult rituals, and an ancient intelligence, forcing the team to question the true nature of the Phenomena.

Using a host of cutting edge research tools and never-before-seen parapsychological experiments; the team looks to piece together all the pieces of the puzzle by leaving no stone unturned. According to Greg Newkirk, this season will answer many of the lingering questions as they follow up on the threads that were left dangling by the end of season one. Now whether the answers will satisfy our curiosity or lead to further questions is still up in the air.

Per Greg, “If Season One was the fuse, then Season Two is the dynamite” so I am sure it will not disappoint. Who knows we may just find out that, “Hellier was just a symptom” of a bigger, more mysterious picture.
