The Wicksboro Incident (DVD)
Wicksboro, Texas doesn`t exist. But to hear Lloyd Pearsall tell it, the town should be known for precisely that fact. According to Pearsall, this small community and its 75 residents vanished overnight in 1953. New zoning has been implemented and all written records of the town have been destroyed in an attempt to completely erase Wicksboro from human memory. When Pearsall told his story to two filmmakers, he claimed to be the only survivor from this now forgotten town. As unreliable as his story was, certain facts were able to be checked and mysteries of lost truths were indeed at the heart of Mr. Pearsall`s tale. This documentary introduces Pearsall to viewers and assembles evidence that the filmmakers uncovered researching the outrageous claim.NR"
