On This Day in Weird, October 11...
1973: Fishermen Charles Hickson and Calvin Parker claim they
were abducted by aliens at Pascagoula, Mississippi, held "conscious but
paralyzed" aboard a UFO and subjected to examinations before their
eventual release. Hickson later passes a controversial polygraph test. Professional
debunker Joe Nickell calls that Hickson's behavior was "questionable"
and claims he embellished his story on later television shows, blaming the
original incident on a fantasy during a "waking dream state."
