Charleston abduction report — April 5, 1941

NICAP’s chronological catalogue records a report assigned to April 5, 1941, at Charleston, Mississippi. Its central participant is described only as a farmer, and the encounter is placed on the Mississippi River. The short entry says that the farmer was taken into a submarine. The preserved wording does not describe the farmer’s approach to the river, the vessel’s arrival, or the circumstances in which he entered it. It also supplies no description of its occupants, interior, movement or communication. Those parts of the episode cannot be reconstructed from the available entry. The account is retained as a reported taking experience because that is what the catalogue explicitly states. Its ending—the farmer’s departure from the vessel, elapsed time and later report—is not recorded in the brief public source. The date, regional setting, farmer and claimed entry into a submarine are the specific elements that survive in this case’s documentary outline.
