The article also states that they are considered an example of Creepypasta, which is creepy stories copied and pasted, and go viral. While it is certainly possible, it would be remiss of me to just accept that to be the explantion. Until it can be definitively proven - one way or another - I feel that a thread trying to catalogue reported incients and trying to work out a solution, is a strategy worth pursuing with them.
So, expect a few articles to appear here over time.
