Alien Abduction Video Incident at Lake County Revisited
By Chris Capps 7/12/11
In 1994 a purported early form of “found footage” was covered by documentary film makers and went on sale as the single most shocking and genuine piece of footage ever seen in regards to the UFO phenomenon. And to watch it is harrowing indeed. But was this “Incident at Lake County” genuine, or simply a hoax? And what can we learn of the mysterious origins of this footage? As it turns out, the Incident at Lake County everyone has likely seen today is not the original, but a remake.
The remake, which had a cast of characters, brief interviews with those loosely associated with the case, and a full production complete with special effects was often screened as the exclusive evidence that an incident occurred at a largely unknown location in the rural Midwest of the United States. The plot is broken up by occasional breaks where experts will either comment on the footage or relate their own UFO experiences. There are hints throughout suggesting those involved in the film were never found. And it is disturbing to say the least, though the acting breaks the mood at the beginning. But it is connected with another often sought after piece of footage - one that many believers say is the “real” version.
Believe it or not, even before “Incident at Lake County” there was a found footage film that found its way into the hands of distributors who began sharing it with paranormal researchers. This original incident, took place at the birthday party of the youngest child in the family, “Rosie.” The footage follows the family as they unearth a strange craft with Grey style occupants in them. At the end the creatures walk into the house - and it is implied that the family was abducted immediately after.
Eventually the tapes led back to Dan McPherson, the director of both pieces of footage and possibly the originator of the found footage genre. McPherson said he wanted to make both films as realistic as possible. It’s generally accepted that this was a good natured hoax with the intention of showcasing a genre that would be made popular years later. But there is a problem.
