The fortean claims to fame of the Mississippi town of Pascagoula rest on two things. There is the legend of the Pascagoula River, or Singing River, so named due to a peculiar sound that rises up out of its waters from time to time. The residents of Pascagoula thought the river was haunted and even sent a letter to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle asking him to investigate it. [1] The other major anomalous event is the famous UFO abduct­ion of Charles Hickson and Calvin Parker in 1973, during a night fishing trip to the river. But this was not the first abduction to have occurred there.
