Around Chattanooga there seems to be a trend of people finding areas and thinking that they are new. Later they find out that the place was semi popular 15 or more years ago and that all their "FA's" really in fact were just repeats from a generation past. Definitely a result of 0 documentation or spray of these areas.
Heh, this happened to me. I'm kinda fond of finding new areas, and have been on several "FA's" and found 20 year old mank halfway up. Hah!

Then I once heard someone talking about a route they though they were popping the cherry on when they found an old cam in a horizontle. I wondered up and asked if it had a hand-tied blue and red sling on it. It sure did, and when I said it was mine the response I got was "You clipped that shit? I got it out and threw it away when I got home". Damnz! I wanted my cam back :/

Seems that route has had at least 3 "FA's".
