The Allagash abductions of four canoeists (review)
1976 ยท Allagash, Maine (not printed), United States
Outside the region. Hind reprinted this case from elsewhere; it has a file here but no place on the map.
What was reported
Wintle praises Raymond Fowler's chapter 12 on the Allagash abductions, in which four young students were taken together from their canoe during a camping trip. He observes that multiple abductions are rare, even though abductees often report seeing other people, sometimes family members or friends, aboard the craft, so a proper investigation was called for; Fowler concluded the four's experience was objective. Wintle regrets that this one chapter is the book's only serious treatment of abduction, and that even it is not offered as a fair presentation of the abduction phenomenon as a whole, although the case was judged veridical.
What Hind made of it
Wintle, not Hind: an excellent treatment of a case judged veridical.
