If you're a UFO enthusiast like Fox Mulder, I'll save you a little time. I looked up Lake Okoboji, Iowa (spelled 'Okobogee' in the story) to see if it was a hotbed of extraterrestrial activity the way bartender/biker Kip (Donald Gibb) intimated. The main attraction for Okoboji is a system of glacier carved lakes, with camping and hiking a prime activity. So at least the story got that part right.
This episode places Mulder's search for his alien abducted sister in context with a story about a mother (Carrie Snodgress) who's daughter disappears on a camping trip, and who had her own abduction experience when she was a youngster. The missing teen eventually shows up producing more questions than answers, while a host of paranormal events occur to confound both Scully and Mulder.
I guess if you're looking for the weird here, how about those three white wolves in the story nosing around a shallow grave in which a body is located. I thought seeing the first one was unusual, but having a trio of them show up was kind of spectacular.
The story ends with one of those tag lines that the series became noted for when Mulder intones his now famous statement - "I want to believe". It was one of those hooks that series fans latched on to that provided the impetus for sticking around to see how it all played out.
