Description	Barbara Barnett's transcribed interview of Mary Crocker about the Face in the Wall in Terre Haute, Indiana. According to Crocker, a tractor ran over a boy and killed him. The father kept the tractor driver in a shed and then in a cage until he died. The father made a plaster caste of his son's face and put the boy's eyes in it. The eyes rotted out, but the face remains.
