Reminds me a bit of the Bobby Dunbar story:
> In 1912 a four-year-old boy named Bobby Dunbar went missing in a swamp in Louisiana. Eight months later, he was found in the hands of a wandering handyman in Mississippi. In 2004, Bobby Dunbar's granddaughter discovered a secret beneath the legend of her grandfather's kidnapping, a secret whose revelation would divide her own family, bring redemption to another, and become the answer to a third family's century-old prayer.

> In March 2008, Public Radio International's This American Life featured The Ghost of Bobby Dunbar, a radio documentary about the investigation of the case by Margaret Dunbar Cutright. She expressed her own opinion that the real Bobby Dunbar most likely fell into Swayze Lake during the fishing trip and was eaten by an alligator.

- kumarharsh 8y agoWhat a story that was. Thanks!
- dawidw 8y agoHow was that possible that 4 year old boy didn't recognise his own mother?
- Chris2048 8y ago> While one (almost certainly fictional) account indicated that the boy immediately shouted "Mother" upon seeing her and the two then embraced Fake news..
- Chris2048 8y agoseems like a lot of people down-vote certain keywords without first figuring out context..
- eric_h 8y agoI personally think that particular term has been subverted to the point of being absolutely devoid of any meaning or humor and should really just not be used anymore. [Edit: I was not a down voter, but perhaps the down voters shared my perspective]
