Lost Hikers’ 911 Call To Report Tragedy Takes A Trippy Turn

Two hikers who got lost on Cascade Mountain in upstate New York’s Adirondack High Peaks dialed 911 to report the death of their friend.

But a ranger who arrived on the scene found the duo “in an altered mental state” after ingesting hallucinogenic mushrooms, per a press release from the New York Department of Environmental Conservation.

And their friend was actually alive, just not with them.

The drama unfolded around 9 a.m. on Saturday.

“The third member of their party called and was not injured,” said the DEC.

The two hikers were escorted “to a waiting ambulance and New York State Police unit” while their friend was taken “back to their campsite,” the department added.
