What Is Happening In Mammoth, Arizona?
This was posted to Reddit 3 days ago…
“I am going to begin this by saying that I chose this online community because it has the exposure of over 1.4 million people. If anyone reading this is in (or knows someone in) Mammoth, Arizona please contact me immediately via this reddit username.
I also posted this on my website (I run a blog about cold cases) but for some reason I can’t see it. I’ve tried posting it at least 15 times but I’m not getting anywhere. So I really hope this post uploads.
I live in Mammoth, Arizona and nothing has ever happened here worth writing about because, well, Mammoth has a population of around 1,500.
Eleven days ago, on the 3rd, an older woman who runs a home daycare in my town was found dead in her bathroom by a parent who was picking up his daughter. The kids were all really agitated and told police that Mrs. Booker (the deceased) had been yelling at them and bleeding from her eye before she went into the bathroom and collapsed in her bathtub.
Sad, and unpleasant, but not really news. But a day later one of the daycare babies developed a rash and started bleeding from her ear. She died 12 hours later and so did EIGHT other kids from that daycare – all with similar symptoms. This started a shitstorm in my town.
In a town of 1,500 people, attempts the keep people unaware and calm were an utter failure. It was on facebook by the following day. Nine people who had been at the hospital when the kids were starting to trickle in also started exhibiting these symptoms, I’m told. None lasted more than a few days.
By last Friday, 18 people who had indirect contact with the children were reported missing or dead of natural or unknown causes – all had exhibited similar symptoms just before their deaths.
It was at this point that I became directly affected. My sister returned from Oro Valley (the closest hospital) a complete wreck. She had gone to visit her friend’s new baby and upon arriving had been informed that both her friend and her baby had died. Everything I just told you was told to her by a frightened nurse. I fact checked what I could.
My sister was literally hysterical. She was speaking a full octave higher than usual and at twice the speed – I have never seen her act like that before. Her shoulders and arms had bruises so big I thought maybe she’d been in a car accident on the way home. She told me she didn’t know where she’d gotten them and when I tried to put her to bed she freaked out and started screaming at me that my bedroom was too hot. I took her temperature which was 102.8. I convinced her to go to bed.
I fell asleep on the couch shortly after waiting for a call back from our town’s M.E. I woke up to my phone going off – I had 7 texts from friends of mine all reporting the same thing:
Entire families were being found beaten to death all over Mammoth. Blood, bruises, nails and teeth missing, hair ripped out- all of them. I heard reports of anywhere from 14 to 55 dead bodies, depending on who you were talking to. In a state of completely shock, I did the only thing I could do really well on autopilot – I wrote an article about it for my blog.
I made some calls around the city but my usual contacts weren’t picking up. I went to check on my sister and she was bleeding from her ear – heavily. Between that and the bruising, I started to wonder if these were actually home invasions at all. I called the 24 hour urgent care in town but no one picked up. I didn’t want to risk driving her back to Oro Valley. I then tried 911, which also rang endlessly.
I called my friend in Oro who works for a legit newsagent and she told me that they were reporting NW Medical was running a skeleton crew because most of the medical staff had either called in sick or been found dead in their homes. She said she’d seen tanks in Oro.
I woke up the next morning and my sister was gone. I don’t know where she is and I’m too scared to go looking for her.
I have called the CDC multiple times but every time I call the same woman answers. The first time she took a statement and said she’d get back to me. Every subsequent time I’ve called, she immediately puts me on hold. She never comes back to the line.
This morning my contact at the police department finally called me back. He told me the death toll is “incalculable” at this point and that they are being “iced out” by both the state and federal governments at this point with one exception. Two people from the CDC showed up yesterday. My contact overheard them talking about Mrs. Booker’s cancer treatments as if it were relevant… He doesn’t know if it is but he hopes I can make something out of it.
I can’t.
I don’t know about Oro, but my estimation for Mammoth itself is around 40 dead after showing the same symptoms. I haven’t seen any of this in the news, which I’ve been watching religiously. Why not? We have been told the safest place for us right now is inside our homes. I haven’t seen a car pass down my street in two days.
I’m scared. My sister is still missing but I’m too afraid to look for her or go into the room she was sleeping in. My hair is falling out from stress. I’ve been smoking like crazy. This morning I noticed a bruise on my arm. I know my immune system is compromised and I’m too afraid to leave my house. I called my parents in Tucson and left a message but they haven’t called back.
The last I heard from my friend in Oro was Saturday morning. She texted to tell me they had started to find bodies lying in the street. No one is bothering to collect them anymore. I responded but she never texted back.
I’ll update more as soon as I can. Anyone in Oro or Mammoth, please contact me. I haven’t seen another human in over two days and I feel like the last person on earth.
Edit: it’s almost 6 here and a siren has been going off for about ten minutes. I don’t know if it’s a tornado siren or an air raid siren but it’s loud and creepy as fuck.
I noticed a small bruise on my arm that upon further fucking inspection spreads all the way down one side of my back. I’m so fucking scared. I had a breakdown where I just screamed at the wall and cried and there was blood in my tears and that was like an hour ago.
To the person calling businesses here: that is not us answering. Our downtown has been shut down all day. I called a couple places where I know the business owners and employees and the people who answered are not locals. I don’t know what they told you but they’re not from here.
I’m going to go over to the neighbors becAuse I can’t be alone anymore and fuck it, it’s not like I can get it because I’ve already got it. The sirens have me terrified and the sun is almost down here. My name is Lindsey Allen, I’m 29 and I’m from Mammoth, AZ”
So now I ask you.. What is happening down there? The media is saying this is a hoax but what do you think? We can’t believe what they tell us, you know that and people have inundated the phone lines down there so now nobody can get thru to the cops there which creepily enough is address in the story that was updated by this Lindsey Allen. What do you think!?!?! Is this beginning of the end? Is this the plague, the four horseman, etc. etc. I mean this is pretty freaky and you just never know…
This story was declared a hoax a day ago, but yet here it is on BIN. That is this site in a nut shell.
Whole thing reads like a HUGE hoax- and that is even before I googled anything.
Folks who do this sort of thing should be hunted down and jailed- like those who yell fire in a crowded theater. Her IP etc needs be found out by the Feds and she needs be indicted.
Not funny.
Yeah, not funny at all. With the things that are happening in reality and politics involving the Ebola, hoaxes like this should be prosecuted. The BIN piece on it reads like an emergency in progress to the watchers at the Gate; is it any wonder so many reacted and started calling the town to get past any cover stories? The corruption in governance has created a ‘cry wolf’ type situation where they’ve lied so much and used so many covers for different things that have no business happening, that the public reaction to crisis in progress is the shortest distance between two points is a straight line direct to the source.

http://www.komando.com/happening-now/282201/war-of-the-worlds-strikes-a-tiny-arizona-town/2
The saving grace in the reaction is that our nation’s communities should be relieved to an extent that so many are watching for underhanded things like a bioweapon release in our communities and expect a coverup to surpass in getting to victims to render aid. This makes any reaction to a real event swift with alternative resources by watchful citizens in tow if necessary. Our leadership in the east may have gone off the deep end but everyone else still cares…even if it takes a few “war of the the worlds” situations during hoaxes before any real deal is ever encountered. At least someone thought enough to call the town to find out.
Imagine if the real thing ever happened and no one bothered? Which is worse? Makes you think of the occasional elderly person who drops dead in his house and no one discoveres him till months later
So that means EVERYTHING on BIN is false? This is the internet, buddy, and we have to sift through the lies to get to the truth, not the other way around. There is probably as much truth as there are lies published on the internet but it is our own responsibility to do the legwork to find out real truth.
Didn’t you hear that a man did an investigation of the stories on BIN & found that about 90% or more of the stories are made up, & BIN admits it?
AND it was later discovered that the study was done by one of the ten thousand Obama cyber warriors who set up DUMMY sites and STUDIES for a living on your dime.
THE BIN admission was either prompted or staged as well.
AND I can tell you this BECAUSE for the past forty years I have researched, written about and had the FBI chase me for writing about all the things happening today in the US.
THE US gov. whistle blowers and insiders who are featured daily in the top 10 and top 50 trending stories which are almost 100% writers who have inside contacts going back decades as I do KNOW the truth from the misinformation and disinformation and WHITE HOUSE LIES.
THERE is an EVIL Shadow Government who have already legislated the ONE world NWO here in the US and in many other parts of the world and this nation is only a breath away from all living in the 800 FEMA concentration camps that Cheney, Halliburton and the US ARMY built here and IMO that is the ONLY thing Americans should be talking about or writing about.
THIS scenario is NOTHING compared to the EVIL deeds this NAZI CABAL that BOTH sides puppet for over the past two hundred years in the US have already done.
YOU NEED to KNOW that those articles and the inevitable collapse of the US economy and the US dollar and WWIII and the concentration camps are ALL very real.
AND no other site has that info on a daily up to date basis. SO, don’t throw the baby out with the bath water. THE INFO HERE IS INVALUABLE if you GET THE TRUTH.
That’s not surprising. This particular story was very easy to prove as a lie because you can Google the local town news and see if anything is happening. The rest of the stories on BIN all read just like this, so it’s highly likely most of them are just as much of a hoax. Commons sense should tell people that really sinister conspiracies are not that easy to cover up. Many of the other stories here, though, are harder to prove out. If the Bilderbergers are reported to have talked about spreading the ebola virus in some Swiss Chalet, how are you going to fact check that.
The fact is that a lot of people love drama and so are all too ready to accept the most extravagant explanation. For example, why believe that those three lights in a sky that formed a triangle and moved in unison were a military vertical-takeoff-and-landing airplane when a flying saucer would explain things just as well.
Ockam’s Razor says that the explanation that covers all the facts in the simplest way is the one most likely to be correct. Yet, most conspiracy theorists ignore perfectly commonsense answers that cover all the known facts because they have found or figured out a far more complicated and devious explanation that will cover the same facts. In their mind, because it COULD be true, it most likely is.

“A man”. Yeah, right.
HOAX! Google is your friend…
Hehe yes they are along with obama. BTW I gotta go take him and his fake family to the oval office. Lol ride the train in the drain..
we all know what could happen. why pretend it has. some folks might not understand you just need a therapist and you’re not real.
Stories like this are what make the site non-credible. That sub-forum the “original” Reddit story is posted to is a “story-telling” forum.
Yeah. Along with about 99% of the rest of the stories.
SICK PEOPLE TO PULL A HOAX LIKE THIS!!!
OBOLA!
Yep. Appears to be a hoax. According to radio station KTAR which is in the Mammoth, AZ area, it is a Reddit hoax perpetrated by a Michigan horror writer named Maxwell Malone and 10 others. Search of recent obituaries in the Mammoth area for a Mrs. Booker came up empty. Be careful what you read…and post.
cool story bro. what a nightmare
this was fun to read and I like it. I give this story a 10 out of 10 for fear factor and about a c- for reality facts, creative writing is an art its the readers job to vet out the bull crap from truth! this could happen anywhere with a demonic spirit ruling Washington dc and it seems the whole usa ? ty writer do another story of tiny people who emerge out of your butt at nite and take over your town using magic mushrooms and jimmi Hendrix music, lol.
People that do this…are sick and demonized…it’s not funny, or cute.
This should be treated like other hoaxes…where people get arrested for falsifying urgent information.
But, it should be proved out, first, before an arrest…by an arbitrary group.

Highlighting Mammoth, Arizona, right click search (at least on my linux system) shows what a waste of space this post is. http://www.azcentral.com/story/news/local/arizona/2014/11/11/mammoth-az-target-of-internet-hoax/18863451/
the copy and paste crowd have never heard of due diligence !
http://www.azcentral.com/story/news/local/arizona/2014/11/11/mammoth-az-target-of-internet-hoax/18863451/
LOL what a yawner.
I dunno you tell me.
I’ve read several comments and yes this is Not Funny! BUT, Here’s the thing, It could happen and most likely WILL happen sometime soon with our borders wide open, and nothing stopping airplanes from the Ebola hot-spots landing here everyday. It’s only a matter of time folks! I firmly believe in God, The Bible, and End Time Prophesy. We would be foolish to think that (If we are believers in Christ) these aren’t The Last Day’s Christ was speaking of. I believe now is the time to get right with our maker! Truly, before the hell that is about to break out upon this Earth happens-And soon……
False flag sent up by THEM to discredit the REAL stories when they happen!
BIN “journalists” prove once again, that doing any kind of research is way harder than just spreading fear to get hits.
Enjoy the clicks you get Mort, another BS story polluting the internet. Good job.
This site I would say is full of religious nuts and plenty of disinformation..you’ll find a jewell here and there.
Which is why you hang around…right? For that jewel here and there?
Such is life in a democratic free for all.
Keep diggin, you just might find the ‘jewel’ you didn’t know you were waiting for….
Or not.
Good Journies
Some people really get off yelling “fire” in a crowded theatre.. especially if there’s been several fires already. We’re all highly sensitized to plagues and similar stuff because of the current ebola scare, plus the diseases being spread via chemtrails and radiation.. so what kiinda sicko would throw gtasoline on the fire? And Mort.. you shpould be ASHAMED of yourself for posting this. tsk tsk…

What a horrible thing to do to the readers here. Have you no conscience? No sense of decency, Mr. Mammoth AZ? All I can say is, I feel sorry for you, and you will likely receive repercussions far beyond what I can even begin to put into words within the scope of this forum – so I won’t even attempt to. Good luck to you, you’ll need it.
Guys, this was written as a ficticious story on Reddit. The government has everyone so paranoid about Ebola and every other boogie man that even an article that was written as a good horror story gets people on edge.
Personally, I think it’s a pretty good.

This sounds like a typical bachelor party here in south Texas.
Yawn.
And then you woke up and turned off the tv.
Lindsay, is the bad language necessary? The problem with wanna-be journalists is that they do not know the boundaries of written decency.
I think Dean Koontz wrote this a while back but he did a better job on the story.
Hello people, the people of this site specifically say they except all stories and let their readers intelligence to determine the reality of the stories. This why I like this site. They let stories on that are often censored from the rest of the “mainstream alternative media” I don’t believe 90% but it gives me another view of things.
This was probably written by a struggling business owner in Mammoth with several boxes of “I Survived Mammoth, Arizona” t-shirts just awaiting your arrival!!
This is why you got to take “Before it’s News” with a HUGE grain of salt. So many story’s are false like this but few very few are gems.
Mind game hoax/
Okay first of all the headline says what is happening in mamoth az. Then there is a story that after the first paragraph reads just like a made up story. This was moody likely pulled from a story writing forum and posted here sans that info. People saying those who wrote this should be arrested are out of their minds. No where in this so called article was there any mention of ebola or any other disease actively killing people right now. I guess the creepy pasta guys better watch out or the lynch mob may come for them. I don’tcome here for news I come here to be entertained and to check out the bizzaro stuff. The folks who actually called this town need to stop watching so much tv and get outside for some fresh air.
Sounds like someone may be trying to get attention, but in case they are not they need to check the water supply in Mammoth and Oro to make sure someone hasn’t spiked them with formaldehyde. These people are showing the exact symptoms as formaldehyde poisoning.
Total hoax. Just spoke to someone there. All BS.
The left eye never lies
I like it

This is a hoax story.
Hoax
http://hoaxes.org/weblog/comments/terror_in_mammoth
REDIT website explains this hoax too, and I too think these people have committed a criminal act by posting it as if true. (ie: yelling FIRE in a crowded theater when there’s no fire, just for ‘fun’)
Sorry Mort, but the story is a HOAX.
This story is a total lie. It’s easy to check out. Just look at the obituaries page of the local Mammoth news:
http://arizonaobits.tributes.com/browse_obituaries?city=Mammoth&state=AZ
You might believe mainstream media would just cover up a story like this. (Not sure why, but some people think that way.) But local news could not cover it up because people all over town would be demanding to have obituaries printed for there lost loved ones.
So far, only two people reported dead for all of 2014, which is actually a drop in the death rate compared to previous years archived on this same page.
Sometimes you need to check out the fact sin common-sense ways. If people are dying left and right in a small town in this modern highly connected world, you cannot cover it up.

Stay of meth and bath salts and whatever else you people are on. These fake stories are worse than telemarketers. I have fun with those people now. Yeah I’m interested, let them start talking, set the phone down come back 5minutes later to see if there still there. BIN Who Owns and Operates Your website? To much fear mongering crap. Still waiting for SHTF for 5 years now. Good way to make sales, I’ll give you that. 12-21-12 maybe they were 2 years off, ha lets hope so. I believe it’s going to get bad, in the end and I know where I’m going.
30 second search answered this – http://www.azcentral.com/story/news/local/arizona/2014/11/13/arizona-mammoth-horror-story-author-apology/18923211/
I’m pretty much thinking of this website in the same category as the goofy papers one sees at grocery store checkout lanes, with about the same credibility -
fn bs fake ass news. people have nothing else to do but write their crap fiction stories on here. please do everyone a favor and go screw a dead ebola corpes…ty
I live not to far from mammoth all is well there and no tanks are visible, now besides brief periods of heavy chemtrail spraying like in the erea of oracle and mt lemmon i have reason to believe an agency is trying to snuff these good folks out.
I enjoyed the story, and was fairly well written and had a spooky Stephen King edge to it. Of course it wasn’t real, and everyone should have known that??
