The Lore
On October 11, 1973, Charles Hickson and Calvin Parker reported being abducted by three strange beings while fishing on the Pascagoula River in Mississippi. The creatures were described as 5 feet tall, pale, wrinkled, with no eyes, slit mouths, and lobster-like claws instead of hands. They reportedly floated rather than walked. Hickson and Parker were examined by the beings and released. Their account never wavered, and a secretly recorded police conversation showed them in genuine distress.
