    Wait what? Maybe I’m misunderstanding, but this is what I got out of the article:

    “We had anecdotes of a phenomenon. A scientific study showed no evidence of said phenomenon. Therefore, the phenomenon was previously real but has now stopped.”

    That seems like really, really bad science. Or at least, really really bad science reporting.

      From the quoted bit it sounds like there was credible science that found nothing. That doesn’t mean there is nothing, but just that they found nothing.
