Shoddy journalism...

So many conspiracy theories are based upon shoddy journalists not going that step beyond the first port of call to CHECK SOURCES. I have just looked online to try to find out more about the preposterous chicken based society, and found NO REFERENCE WHATSOEVER to any such society ever existing above deck in the region in question. I can only conclude that Agent L made the whole thing up, including the descriptives of sophomores inflating marigolds and running through the town holding them to their heads, possibly to test my journalistic integrity in the face of my desire to grasp more leads. Or else possibly, that descriptive and title were her subconscious’s construct, as a means of hiding the truth that she was involved in something much more concrete and terrifying…

A New Insight

New insight: Agent L, a close personal friend and my personal knitting tutor, is currently researching cult escapees, having speed-read several autobiographical accounts by escapees. I suspect that Agent L may herself be a cult escapee, having heard her talk of a mysterious ‘dancing chicken society’ – a cult group now defunct (or else gone underground??) that had been based on the same campus that also saw the demise of the darkside goth society. I don’t like to ask her too much on the subject of the chicken dance, as it may have been a psychologically damaging episode for her which she may not be ready to talk about. She may even have subconsciously blocked it from her mind – forgotten it happened, or else projected it onto ‘someone else’, believing it happened to somebody other than herself. Either way, this personal experience of cult involvement, even if forgotten and buried deep in her subconscious, would be invaluable in her investigations. Unless this personal involvement brings her too close to that particular field of study… At present her research is centring on quasi-religious groups such as the Latterday Saints, but I feel the area is close enough to the Michigan to Whitby wool scene to be of great interest.
