the true story of wolf creek?

Wolf Creek is an Australian horror film. It was released in the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland on 16 September 2005, on 3 November 2005 in Australia (apart from the Northern Territory), and on 25 December 2005 in the United States.\n\nWolf Creek was marketed as being "based on true events". Although the producers have not disclosed which incidents inspired the film, some media sources have speculated that it may have been based on the backpacker murders of 1989-92, the Peter Falconio disappearance of 2001, and/or the 1992-99 Snowtown murders. The similarities of the film with the Falconio case led the defence team of the man charged (later convicted) with his murder, Bradley John Murdoch, to obtain a court order preventing Wolf Creek's release in the Northern Territory during the trial (the film was released instead in January 2006). The film's director and writer has stated that Wolf Creek is not based on any single event.[1]\n\nThe film, by little known director Greg McLean (who also wrote the script and produced it), who previously directed ICQ, stars Cassandra Magrath as Liz Hunter, Kestie Morassi as Kristy Earl, John Jarratt as Mick Taylor, and Nathan Phillips as Ben Mitchell. It was nominated for the Grand Jury prize at the Sundance Film Festival in the category "World Cinema, Dramatic".\n\n\n\ntake your pick

Hey,\n\nJack Dawson, Rose deWitt Bukator, Ruth deWitt Bukator, Cal Hockley, their maid Trudy, Brock Lovett, Rose's granddaughter Izzy.... all fictional for the purpose of the film.\n\nJohn Jacob Astor, Benjamin Guggenheim, Sir Cosmo and Lucile Lady Duff Gordon, Molly Brown, Thomas Andrews, Bruce Ismay... all were real people. JJ Astor, Thomas Andrews, and Benjamin Giggenheim perished, Molly Brown was thrown into a lifeboat as it had just started to be lowered (instead of getting in with Ruth in the movie). Bruce Ismay did get into the boat the way he did, and apparently the Gordons bribed the seaman in charge of their boat to row away without more than about 20 people on board. they denied it in the inquiry.\n\ni hope this helped

No its not and yes it is....here you can read about it from the author...the book is a work of fiction...it is found in the fiction section....i have placed them in " " the part of the passage that come from the "idea" for the work..... so mainly the answer is no.\n\nJames Dickey's first novel, Deliverance, is an adventure story of a three-day canoe trip  \nDeliverance \nin the rugged wilderness of southern Appalachia, in which four suburbanites are brutalized both by the sheer force of the river and by violent and degenerate mountain men. Although James Dickey, an Atlanta native, never identified Georgia as the book's setting, the city from which the four men come was widely assumed to have been Atlanta. The river where most of the book's action takes place, the Cahulawassee, closely resembles the Chattooga River, which forms the border between Georgia and South Carolina in the former's northeasternmost corner in Rabun County. \n\nOnly a few months after the book's publication in March 1970, a film adaptation confirmed its Georgia setting by filming on location in Rabun County and on the Chattooga.  \nDeliverance \nReleased in 1972, the film became one of the most popular of the year. Both book and movie had much to do with confirming to a national audience the hillbilly stereotypes that had long plagued southern Appalachia. The film, in particular, stands as the most degrading depiction of southern mountaineers ever put on film and led to strong protests both by north Georgians and by Appalachian scholars. \n\nThe Novel\n\n"Dickey, already a well-regarded poet, conceived the idea for the book after his involvement in a traumatic canoe accident on the Coosawattee River in the early 1960s."\n\n His story centers on four middle-aged suburbanites who head north for a weekend of whitewater canoeing on a wild river shortly before the completion of a new dam that would make it inaccessible. Three of the men, including Ed Gentry, who is the narrator and Dickey's alter ego, are inexperienced in the ways of the wilderness, and they defer to Lewis Medlock, a seasoned outdoorsman and survivalist, who plans the trip and leads the group. Once underway the novice adventurers encounter not only a far more physically challenging and dangerous river than they were prepared for but also some equally threatening local inhabitants. The novel's centerpiece is an attack and sexual assault by two mountaineers on the banks of the river that leads to a series of murders, including that of one of the four Atlantans. Their ever-escalating struggle for survival becomes a moral dilemma as well, as the would-be adventurers find themselves forced to cover up their ordeal when they reach the town of Aintry at the river's end. \n\nThe novel has been interpreted in a variety of ways, most of which focus on the tensions wrought when the sensibilities of modern suburbia are pitted against the more elemental values of the natural world or the primitivism of rural mountain life. The four men bring to their adventure different attitudes and assumptions. For Lewis and Ed, in particular, the challenges they face in defending themselves, individually and collectively, serve as a deliverance not only from the hostile forces of man and nature but also from their own mental and psychological shortcomings as the products of a soft, comfortable, materialistic culture. \n\nThe book faced a mixed reception initially. Deliverance was widely acknowledged as a compelling adventure story, but some critics found its violence excessive and its stereotypical portrayal of mountain people demeaning and simplistic. It was an unqualified success commercially and became a best-seller.

Supposedly it is.  To this day Kathy and George Lutz still swear that what they said is true. The famous Ed and Lorane Warren investigated it and said it was but others said it was a hoax.  The families that have lived there since the Lutzs' swear they never saw or heard anything in the realm of the abnormal.  So, this one is up for grabs..

Oh! I love that story. We read it last semester. Have you read the story? It's really funny to read it and then think in the gutters. Our sub, Scott, taught us that. lol Anyway... okay... hm... thesis statement. \n\n"There are stories about fish and the like, but none quite like this. The boy in the story learns to grow after learning that his beloved Sheila is not what he thought she was. In the story the boy struggling with what he loves and what he thinks he is in love with. ([The story teaches about letting go, forgetting and growing up] <-- thesis)." \n\nOkay, to clarify the thesis:\n\nLetting go: Letting go of the fish and moving on.\nForgetting: He forgets that he can't very well catch a fish without her seeing, so he loses it. \nGrowing up: After he learns that Sheila Mant is not what he thought she but, but in fact a skany who9re (lol) he learns to move on and grow up. \n\nI hope this helped.

LOL...Good point! Give em something to think about!\n\n********\n\nNoah and his ark was actually a true story.....notice, I said STORY....not EVENT.\n\nThe Fertile Crescent had spring floods every year, due to the snows melting from the Ural mountains to the north. The story was a tale told at the time to get locals to prepare for the spring floods by moving to higher grounds or to build barges/floats, to keep above the flood waters.\n\nThe "story" says it was the "whole world" that flooded.....actually it was THEIR whole world.....people didn't use to travel a lot, ya know. the whole bible is a compiled group of stories just like this one.

Magee Creek in Walthall County is nice.  You'd have to have a canoe or some other small boat to get down it.  The creek, which is pretty wide and deep in spots, has alot of tree coverage and fairly large banks in areas but there are places to pull off and do what you please.  It's not 100% secluded as other people may be in a boat as well, but it isn't travelled as much as other creeks and rivers I've been on.  We go fairly often and usually never see anyone.
