US hikers reported a death. But they imagined it while high on mushrooms
Two hikers reported the third member of their group had died but officials say they were just high on magic mushrooms.
A pair of hikers in New York called emergency services to report that a third member of their group had died, but when a park ranger responded to rescue them it turned out they were just high on hallucinogenic mushrooms, officials say.
The third hiker was uninjured - and not dead - and the hikers were "in an altered mental state", according to a report issued by parks officials.
The incident took place on 24 May on Cascade Mountain in the Adirondacks High Peaks of upstate New York.
The third person also called 911 during the hike, "and was not injured", the report states. They were allowed to continue their camping trip, while the pair were taken to police.
Well, all’s well that ends well, innit
Two people, tripping hard enough to get lost and think their friend was dead, were taken into police custody. They were committing no crime. They will have trauma from whatever the police do to them.
Taken to police..... For wasting their time? I'm confused what actual harm they did.
Oh no they ate a fungus. Hardened criminals. Probably ms13. Gotta deport them now.
I'm not sure why this was covered by the BBC at all, but it has virtually no information. They were put into an ambulance. Yeah, police were there too...someone had reported a death. It doesn't say they were arrested.
Remember kids, if you do all your drugs, you can't get arrested for possession.
It cost money to do a Police response
Bro did you fucking see that? Did Mike fucking die? Is this really real right now? Fuck fuck fuck. What do we do? Do we call the cops? No, maybe it’s not real. Fuck. What if Mike really did die? Bro, fuck. I can’t do this right now. Should we call the cops bro? Fuck bro. Let’s call the cops.
*looks at phone*
Fuck bro what is this object?
So I'm rappelling down Mount Vesuvius when suddenly I slip, and I start to fall. Just falling, ahh, ahh. I'll never forget the terror. When suddenly I realize, "Holy shit, Hansel, haven't you been smoking peyote for six straight days and couldn't some of this maybe be in your mind?
Yeah no, wanna bet the the hiker did die and has been replaced my alien or something paranormal!?
Quickly throw salt!
hey legal alien here, have you tried space cookies?
Aww third guy was camping alone after that :(
More shrooms for them!
Still beats what happened to my coworker a little over a year ago. He did LSD with a friend, and the friend murdered him. It was pretty crazy to find out about.
It’s always tough to learn your friends do drugs
Sounds like a bs story
If police had been first to respond instead of park rangers, they'd probably be dead.
Instead, at least one of them was even allowed to return to the campsite.
I hate it when that happens.
Ego death. It seems the 3rd friend has transcended to a higher plane of consciousness
I'm pretty sure it was not a fun trip for the 2 that thought their friend was dead. The one that was "dead" was probably laughing their ass off.
The hike or the body?
Why would you do shrooms while hiking? Darwin awards a comin'...
It makes it way more fun
It beats doing it in the middle of an urban hellscape
