probably a nod to the urban legend/myth since Bethesda LOVES to put in nods to everything from Pop Culture references to past games to other franchises (case in point being the Sweet Roll comment from the Bully game by R*, i think). so, yeah, it's entirely possible that it's a cleverly placed reference.
