Board Thread:False Info and Speculative Discussion/@comment-31079951-20170118192820/@comment-11533671-20170122065846

Lol, what sound individual would attribute the disappearances to the legend in the first place if everyone is erased? Somehow or another ppl correctly identified that something called the Wild Hunt & the Ghost Riders happened and took all those ppl. If that information survived then why wouldn't it also be mentioned they kill folks? Why not just say they either kill or take you? Forensically speaking the bodies could be dated to the time of disappearances further sparking speculation as to why and how, etc.

As for a logical assumption: We've seen and been told they take ppl. They've never been shown to have a desire to kill. It was only AFTER Douglas gained their power did we see them try to kill. Logical reasoning based on what we see and have observed makes us question why they try to kill those particular ppl just moments after Douglas & Hellhound entered the rift and had a confrontation with Scott, Malia and Lydia.

Again, following the logic, those were the only 3 there when Douglas left and he didn't know Peter was coming so if they were just out to kill at that moment, the question is why? Peter was preventing them from completing the action but they "take" him. Why didn't they just kill him?

Logically we can only surmise that they had a reason to try killing those 3 and only those 3. Liam fucked with them also but they weren't trying to kill him. Hayden fucked with them and again, they took her instead of killing her, why?
