This news reminded of a story years ago where a guy (RIP) was searching for a reported ghost train but a real train found him first.

Just a thought…..I’m thinking beliefs should come with a caveat. Do those who endorse and promote woo bear any responsibility to those who die trying to prove unfounded claims/beliefs? Perhaps, but I think it might be more in line with gun owners being responsible for careless use of those weapons or having a dope dealer responsible for selling a drug that causes death of the user. Only thing different might be that woo proponents seem to applaud a hunt for evidence. The belief in cryptids, ghosts, monsters, heaven/hell, and God knows whatever else there’s no evidence for doesn’t seem to be discouraged by fanatical believers. Religions have their martyrs, so what would the two guys from Oregon be?
