Anyone who exploits others ignorance, for either their own amusement, or too "teach them a lesson" is pretty much in the toilet ethics wise.
And to play upon the desires of folks who are imbalanced is like the phony bigfoot people, loch ness photographers, etc. Even though one may not make money off the hoax, it still basically messes with peoples minds and leads to all sorts of consequences.
How would you like to be responsible for some woman who leaves her family and spends her last money on visiting the spots you create in your hoaxes?
Or helping push some already unstable guy right over the edge and who gets out his rifle and blow away his next door neighbor after he is convinced he is one of the aliens?
There are a TON of ramifications with this sort of stuff. Most of it one will never know.
If you're asking for advice - pull the stuff or put notes and disclaimers on it, where they can be found, so that it doesn't cause more harm than good.
