Gray Barker movie reveals the man behind the men in black

You’ve probably heard of the Men in Black – the idea that the government has special agents who investigate UFOs and paranormal activities – and find a way to silence people who know too much.

But you might not know that the idea behind the Men in Black originated in a book written by Braxton County native Gray Barker.

Now, filmmaker Bob Wilkinson has made a documentary about Gray Barker’s life called “Shades of Gray.”

Wilkinson’s movie is being premiered 7 p.m. Saturday at the old LaBelle Theatre in South Charleston.

We spoke with Wilkinson about the story behind the man who knew too much.
