A 1968 or 1969 UFO Abduction? A Folie à Deux ? A Hoax?

Looking further into an alleged UFO abduction that sneaked up on me in a folder of UFO events I have, I thought maybe I’d be able to explain it as a folie à deux, a form of hallucination sharing.

The episode is usually listed as the 1968 Buff Lake or Buff Ledge, Vermont abduction and has gained attention at these sites:

(The UFO Evidence account showing, errantly, the event as a 1969 event.)

But then I came across a non-UFO site that indicated the whole thing was a camp counselor created hoax, not by the purported “victims” but by their fellow counselors:
