Social media strikes again, I don't know if this is still a "thing" but (as reported in FT 415) last year there was a trend to explain away disappearances in America's National Parks as the result of people who have gone feral and started hunting and eating hikers and tourists.
Here's a rundown of the theory:
Article
It points out that while there are probably people living off grid in America's parks, they do so because of poverty and are not flesh-eating murderers. Also, Bigfoot is not involved, nor is the Wendigo.
I've not seen it mentioned anywhere else, but this sounds like the horror film franchise Wrong Turn, which apparently is so convincing some folks are taking it as fact.
