Update: lady sees wolf, runs and gets lost for 12 hours. Hears a bear growl, runs again, finds her car, makes up excitingly implausible story.

Sorry, but if a man brought up this story, I would’ve called bullshit even more, because that’s exactly the kind of totally unbelievable story dudes pull out of his asses to look badass, when being actually totally drunk-lost in the woods...

Correct. This story smells to high heaven of bullshit.

it just seems like a less than likely story whereas “getting lost in the woods while high on shrooms and making up a story” is the sort of thing you actually see all the time.

wait just a damn minute! Are you saying that you’re skeptical that a person out picking mushrooms evaded a hungry wolf for 12 hours finally using a bear to defeat it? What are your problems with this story? That the wolf seemed to have a pretty long agenda? That a competent woodsperson who could suss out a mama bear’s…

Wasn’t there a sasquatch they didn’t run into every time they went into the woods?

I 100% guarantee that this is a made up story. It's not even a good made up story.

I’m thinking Joanne ate some of those mushrooms she was collecting and was just wandering around aimlessly for 12 hours tripping her balls off.

Lol, no, this woman is full of shit. There's no way in hell this actually happened.

Wellll...her story is pretty...uh...let’s see:

I guess I’ll be that person here and admit that this sounds like a tall tale to me.

It's crazy how differently people commented on here compared to the same article on Gizmodo. In a nut shell, Jezebel: badass hero; Gizmodo: probably lying.

find it hard to believe the wolf knew to separate her from her truck. and why would a lone wolf wait so long to attack.

I’ve mentioned this before but what happened is really a gay person’s worse nightmare. The gay bar/club is the one place we all will ourselves into believing that it’s an absolutely safe place but a scenario like this is always in the back of our minds.

I just feel so numb. The stories are so similar to the shooting in Bataclan (Paris) where I actually knew people inside (they made it out). And this has the added horror of being a hate crime. It’s just too much. I wish the press would stop calling it the biggest shooting - it’s like it’s an actual accomplishment.

Is there anything internationally that people can do? I’m in Australia so obviously I can’t give blood etc. but there might be somewhere to donate money to or something else, anything really. This whole thing is so unbelievably horrible.

That made me cry so hard.
