Legend of McCoy Mountain

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Hoaxed pseudo-legend, apparently placed on Wikipedia to substantiate the premise of a Blair Witch-like independent film project. The project has a promotional site here, and this notice on a national casting call site makes it clear that the premise is fictional: "The film opens as we visit the graveyard where your great-great-great-great grandfather Johnny McCoy is buried (we'll use local graveyards & the Malibu Canyon)...You'll get to have fun with a full range on this project." In short, this is a fine nesting cupset of fiction: neither the facts of the story, the "legend" about them, the documentary about the legend or the feature film about the making of the documentary appear to exist.
