Hikers High on Psychedelic Mushrooms Mistakenly Report Friend Dead on Adirondacks Trail

  • Two hikers called 911 Saturday from New York's Adirondack Mountains reporting a third member had died on Cascade Mountain.
  • Officials said on Wednesday the hikers were mistaken because they had taken hallucinogenic mushrooms before the call.
  • A state forest ranger responded, escorted two hikers to an ambulance, and returned the third hiker unharmed to their campsite.
  • The Adirondack Mountain steward identified the hikers' altered mental state, confirmed by the supposedly dead person calling and being uninjured.
  • All hikers later reunited at the campsite, highlighting the impact of substance use on their inaccurate emergency report.
