It pains me to have to write this before reviewing the legendary weekend I just experienced at the first weekend of Electric Forest. That being said we need to clear this up. A picture found on Electric Forest Facebook groups and Reddit of a severed finger has been making the rounds the past few days.
A Very Real Fake Finger
While we obviously saw that this was a hoax in some capacity it has been reported that during clean up of the camping grounds someone found a severed finger. Luckily today Electric Forest has made an official statement that Michigan State police have said that it was just a very real looking fake finger. So let us focus on the glory that was Electric Forest weekend one and not finger bang ourselves here. If you wanted to see it – the photo is below the tweet.
Many things may have been lost in the forest – minds, hearts, faces – but not a finger. 👆 #EF2X17 pic.twitter.com/hsZoZ0L0kH
