Phones in the tiny town of Mammoth, AZ, have been ringing off the hook this week, with strangers calling local businesses to ask about the viral epidemic racing through the town, leaving bodies dead in the streets.
The only problem is there is no epidemic and the whole story has been made up. And now residents of the sleepy town are wondering how they got caught up in the modern-day "War of the Worlds" confusion.
The phone calls in Mammoth began two days ago, after someone posted an account of a viral outbreak in Mammoth in a post entitled "WTF is going on in Pinal County, Arizona??"
The first-person account tells of a crisis in the town in which a mysterious virus appears to be infecting Mammoth residents. First, it killed an elderly daycare worker, who began bleeding from the eyes. Then babies and children in town began to die.
