Appears to be a attempt to create an urban legend with little evidence that is has caught on.©Geni (talk) 17:42, 1 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete appear to be an attempt at Creepypasta. Artw (talk) 21:12, 1 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. No idea if this is connected to Creepypasta, but there are very few sources - 2005 book, 2010 news article. Not enough to assert WP:GNG, I think, where it is likely something not based on any anthropological/sociological studies or even a reasonably popular meme, but something possibly invented by some writer a decade ago or so. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 05:13, 2 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Very much doubt the book cite would pan out. The "news" site has forum links at the bottom - as references? Artw (talk) 15:14, 2 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
