[edit] Needs a reference

On Jan. 29, 2007 this passage was added to the "See also" section:

Some Utah locals are even so bold as to say they have seen the devil rise out of Hell and into a chasm on the bank of the river. One of those people, Ernie Vernon, had this to say: "I was taking a walk on the side of the canyon one afternoon, and I see a light coming down from the river. All of a sudden this guy floatsout of a cave. The next thing I knew i was sitting on the ground the next morning trying to figure out what happened."

This really needs a reference before being included in the article. Where was this Vernon quoted? Is it a reputable source (i.e. newspaper)? If this is sorted out, feel free to add this passage back into the article, although probably under a new section heading, such as "Supernatural activity" or something. -- BlueCanoe 23:18, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

On Feb. 2, 2007, another anonymous IP address added:

It also is said that once a year the devil himself comes up once a year rubs himself in dirt and goes back to hell.

These "it is said that" items need references. -- BlueCanoe 21:37, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

I know we're supposed to assume good faith, but I'm having a hard time believing these edits were made in good faith. They seem like simple mischief to me. --R27182818 04:03, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

Again on Feb. 5, 2007. -- BlueCanoe 21:41, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] dirtydevilriverrun.com

This recently-linked website seems to be a trip report written by a private individual. Any thoughts on its suitability as a link? --R27182818 14:41, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Definitely not appropriate. -- BlueCanoe 00:54, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
