My great granddad was in a horse and cart crash on a stormy night around 1910. The horse came loose from the reins and made its way back to the house and was able to guide the family to the crash scene. Sadly it was too late for great granddad but I always thought it was very clever of the horse. This was in rural Ireland.
You don’t understand how easy it is to get lost until it happens to you. Back when I was 20 I went to a horse camp in the Bankhead national forest for a weekend of horseback riding. I had 8 years riding experience and so did my two sisters that came along. This was a new trail so we met with two girls who “knew the trails like the back of their hands” and set out on the easy trail to warm up with them leading us. Two hours later we realized we lost the trail, 6 more hours go by and our horses were beginning to develop hoof bruises as the terrain we were on was extremely rugged.. we tried over and over to call for help but we could not find a signal so in a last ditch effort I climbed to the top of a rock formation and attempted to make a call, it went through but with only 1% battery left I barely got out the words “we’re lost” before it died. It had been 11 hours since we entered the trail when the two girls we followed in became hysterical and couldn’t maintain their composure let alone ride their horses and being that they had the only two horses that weren’t limping or going lame we made the decision to take their horses. We left them and my youngest sister behind, gave them my lighter (for a signal fire if we couldn’t find our way back to them) and set off with my other sister on the horses. We decided to test the theory that if you’re ever lost, let go of the reigns and let the horses take you home. Long story short, it worked. Within an hour the horses got us to a highway where we flagged down a car and called for help. We were lost for a total of nearly 13 hours and ended up 10 miles off trail.. our family had called the police hours earlier and they had people on the ground searching for us but the search was taking place 5 miles in the opposite direction. Thank God we found the two girls and our younger sister pretty easily and our dad met us with a trailer to load the horses and take us back to camp. If we had not let the horses take the lead things could have been so much worse. We set out with no food and only a couple bottles of water as we only expected to be gone for two hours tops.
My sister, who's a very experienced hiker, lost the trail in a park she hiked regularly. She was out overnight in 40° f weather in shorts and a long sleeved t-shirt. Luckily she wasn't injured and had her dogs to help keep her warm. Right before sunrise she realized she could see the airport in the distance and was able to figure out wich direction to start hiking. If she'd been in an unfamiliar park, she might not have been so lucky. Horses are 👍 aren't they? Glad you guys were ok.
I went through a similar ordeal with my brother when we were younger.. Long story short, we just stopped paying attention.. That was the longest day/night of my life.. Situational Awareness can save your life. Keep yourself calm and focused, and you more than double your chances of making it out..🍻🍻
Tracks don't "suddenly stop", they just continue and need to be picked up again at some point along their route. Tracks can be measured to determine distance between each foot and that measurement can be marked on a stick, which will literally pinpoint the location of the next track. This process needs to be continued until the tracks are again visible. Its painstaking but necessary sometimes. With Arvin, I can't help but suspect the helicopter flying cabin dwellers of being involved in his disappearance.
@@breadandcircus1 Ya, the sticking points would be 1) How did they end up contacting authorities with their story, 2) What investigation did authorities conduct regarding them? 3) What "body/grave/blood" searches did authorities conduct in & around the cabin?
I think if you dig a little deeper in 411 missing cases (which these cases have ally in common with) your whole track concerns won’t matter.... dog deeper. There is so much more to these missing cases

Don't know if it's a cultural thing, always strikes me as weird when Americans say about some national parks (that are sometimes the size of countries) "How could they have vanished?".
@ Robert Norris because many Americans feel entitled to safety, well-being and happiness. If anything disrupts their tidy world, then they can become stunned and incredulous.
You're not wrong. People who don't hike, camp or hunt don't seem to grasp how tiny we are in comparison to these parks. In mountainous areas the weather can change on a dime. You can fall, be attacked by wildlife, get lost. The possibilities are endless.
Robert Norris LoL seriously! I really don’t understand how people can’t understand how difficult it is to find someone in forests that go on for miles and are dense
When you live in the city, your the top of the food chain, when you go into the wilderness, you CAN become part of the food chain. We have no tooth, fang or claw...even seasoned hunters, with weapons have disappeared...scary stuff...
Yes, because even if you are "experienced" wandering off with a jacket and a couple bottles of water or just what you can carry in a fanny pack isn't going to help if you are in trouble. Even if you are fully prepared to rough it, a tumble or an unexpected snake bite is all it takes when you are alone in the middle of nowhere. Even in our modern times, sometimes when you go out to experience the wilderness, you get more wilderness than you expected or wanted.
@@terminator2660Very doubtful that the vast majority are accidents and getting lost..The truth is being kept from the public and even the missings loved ones!

A friend of mine got lost overnight in Glacier. On a well established hiking trail to boot. A guy had gotten lost on the same trail the week prior, but was never found. In any case, there was confusion in a trail turn on the way down and she had gotten split from her group as they assumed she had just jogged ahead a bit. On the route, going down made sense but the proper route was to go up hill for awhile, and the path would eventually take you down. A reasonable mistake. She had heard her fellow hikers looking for her through the night but could not find them. She had a whistle and would blow it but they could not hear it at all...even though she could hear them. Why they could not hear her yell out or her whistle was probably due to the way the mountain was positioned between them (canyon type nook). In any case it made me think of carrying a flashlight to shine should you ever get lost, and maybe a firearm to shoot to alert people where you are. Whistles don’t work. It is so easy to get lost yet it just happens upon us when we least expect it.
A long distance flashlight, whistle, and some unnatural, neon colored article of clothing(like bright orange or pink) are all easily obtainable things that can save your life
People, don't go off alone in the wilderness! Crap, I won't even hike the woods alone and I grew up in them. Too much can happen out there, like getting shot by a hunter who thinks he sees a deer (people can be stupid sometimes).
You're going to be at 100K subs in no time! Your channel is so quality and most of the stories are not commonly known 🖤💀 Thanks for bringing attention to these cases.
I’m from the northern Idaho area, 4th generation. There are a whole lot of people that have gone missing up here. It’s awesome country, but it will kill greenhorns.
Meghan Hixon I don’t have Any issue going out into the woods by myself, I think I realize that if i go down, there ain’t a line of people who want to go find you. They would rather just have another Raineer. It isn’t personal , just self preservation. Nice to meet you fellow Spud.
@@wayupnorth9420 hello fellow other spud! Lmao I love that. Yeah I definitely understand. I'll go to table Rock & the foothills but even then I know they found a dead body in the foothills so I'm like lol nope self preservation. Nature doesn't care who you are if you aren't equipped you gon die lol
When you’ve grown up in the hood, getting to the corner store and back without getting jumped, shot, stabbed, kidnapped, snatched up, etc was ALL the adrenaline rush I need in my life. And that was just to get penny candy and 10 cent root beer Flavored popsicles... I consider myself to be in retirement on the adventure stuff.
What is even stranger is that there has over the months and years multiple searches for missing people at specific locations and one would think that if a person's remains were not found in the particular search for them, then searchers in subsequent searches for others would stumble over their remains. But this almost never happens.
I was watching one of these and they searched a 50 mile radius. They found the missing man about 1 block outside the search area a few years later. Well his remains.
@@lewisdoherty7621 in Norway this happens often enough. Often someone fell and ended up under som ledge or crevasse in scraggly terrain along the mountain side that is impossible to see for passerby. Years later it is often a climber with climbing gear that find the remains. Or they ended up in bodies of water. We as a species can't even find our keys on the regular. People can move around and even if they didn't, I could sit behind a nook of a boulder in the woods, still exposed, and not hear a group of people walk right over me on a trail. POV, angle and attentiveness in every square meter is hard to do in a vast area of millions of square kilometers.
LeiLani M I checked it out again, she was indeed wearing a bikini and carrying a can of beer. I can’t believe anyone hiking in a bikini or taking a six pack of beer on hike in the dessert.

Love getting an notification from this channel! Made my Sunday that much better. My heart goes out to each missing individual, and their families🙏💙. May they one day find peace.🌟✨ Blessings ✨🌟
Cases like these ones, people going missing forever under strange circumstances make me afraid to go hiking in the woods. It's like all these people were swallowed by the Earth. The storms coming right after the disappearances making searches so difficult, impossible, as well as erasing tracks. Bizarre and spooky. I wonder if there are supernatural entities out there taking people away in the wilderness.
Sasquatch leaves no traces for dogs. No dog will track down the sasquatch, will be afraid. Moreover, he throws the victims over his shoulders and carries them away. You will never take a trace
Went camping in the exact same place in Montana, the Bitterroot mountains are a spooky place! There was a moment, where we were rock hunting on a slide and both of us, without knowing what the other was feeling, felt anxious with a feeling we were being watched from the treeline above us! It got so bad for me that I walked over to my husband and said, "let's get the the fuck out of here!" I don't use this language. He responded with "can't do it fast enough!" After getting back into the jeep and driving away, we both realized that we felt something, ominous, almost threatening and it took us out of the camping mood and shortened our trip by days. We are two very experienced campers, both in our later years and have never experienced such discord in a natural setting. Something or someone, didn't appreciate us hanging out in their neighborhood!
Yup, that's the feeling of being the 'prey', while out in the woods. You and your husband definitely stumbled into the territory of something or someone that maybe doesn't want you there or maybe wants you there too much. I hear grizz attacks are on the rise, especially in Montana. You'll generally know when you are in the presence of a big bear, but every once in awhile you'll get an old, sneaky one that knows better than to make too much noise. It's apparently all the rage right now to have your meth lab out in the woods too, from what I read in the news. When the woods go silent and you have that ominous feeling of danger, it's time to retreat, no matter what it may or may not be that's causing it. Good call.
I remember a story I saw about a lady who decided to go for a run with her dog and ended up falling 60 feet into a canyon and breaking her pelvis. Her dog stayed with her for days, but she eventually told him to go home (or something of that nature)... The dog ended up going to the beginning of the trail where she started, saw the search party and led them back to her. If she hadn't taken him that day, she never would have been found as she was near death by the time they got to her and was in an area not easily visible.
At least not alone. Never lag behind or run ahead. That's the key! And never climb the random staircases in the woods either. There are things out there that we simply can't comprehend!
Reach41 you both clearly don’t understand what that person is saying. They’re saying if you see a *random* staircase in the woods, don’t take it. Not “if you’re on a hike & it has a staircase on its path, go around the most dangerous way you can.” like you guys are acting lol.
It's amazing to me that someone could disappear without a trace along the trail to Half Dome in Yosemite. This is one of the most popular and heavily used trails around. I am surprised there was no mention of people seeing Mr. Morrison along the trail at any point.
Again, very talented story design and execution. Good job! You have to wonder what happens to these missing people in the wilderness. Do they get disorientated and wander for 10's of KM's before succumbing to the elements?
It’s eerie to think that people lost in the woods may have perished in a very easy to find place but animals could scatter their remains and make it that much harder to find them
I've lived in Hamilton Montana for forty years. It always amazes me that people can get lost here. The Bitterroot and Sapphire mountains are two parallel, fairly low mountain ranges that border the east and west sides of the well populated valley. It would be highly unlikely to be in those mountains and not see the lights and highway in the valley below. Whenever they say someone is "lost" here....my first thought is that a Bear or Mountain Lion had a good meal!
I had a pound dog that had never been out of our yard.... it got lost about 5 to 6 miles away in a rural area.... when we couldn’t locate it after a couple of days we figured coyotes had got her..... 8 days later she showed up one night.... and I swear the dog had gained 10 lbs... ( it was dead of winter and unusually cold for our area East TN).....
Thank you for including Connie Johnson's case in your video. I'm from Idaho, myself, and since hers is a recent case, I can appreciate that you are bringing it to people's attention. I don't know her or anything, but her case didn't get a lot of media coverage and it's just nice to see it get some exposure just in case she's wondering around in some place and can't remember who she is or something like that. Although there's a better chance that she isn't with us anymore, at least people can be on the lookout for her in any case, so thanks for that.
it will always blow my mind that people can literally just vanish without a trace and their remains are never even found 😩 my heart goes out to the families 😢❤️
The Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness (first story: Susan, and the third one, Connie) is some of the most remote and wildest area in the country, short of Alaska. It's hard for people from more populated areas to imagine how vast and uninhabited this area is. The fact that the guide had to ride horseback out 25 miles should give you some clue, though. There are millions of acres of untouched wilderness. There are no roads, not one lives there. Straying away from the campsite and not being able to find your way back can be absolutely fatal--there's just so much for searchers to comb, and it is so rugged and hard to traverse. A very unforgiving landscape.
What I appreciate is the massive efforts of rescue, civilian and military personnel to find these missing people. It is testimony to the fact that every life matters, every one will be missed!
Another excellent production. ...and thanks for not referring to that "Missing 411" horsepucky. There are more ways to disappear in the wilderness than there are people wandering around in it.
Thank YOU, for bringing that up! It's a massive, steaming pile of horsepucky, and it seems there are massive piles of people falling for it. Unbelievable.
@@Thistle4444 And Hachiko from Japan. A little dog was lost or tossed out of a car near my family's ranch. Poor thing insisted on staying by the side of the highway, waiting for his owners to return, for weeks. We were afraid he'd be hit, so eventually we found him a home across the county. It broke my heart to hear he still sat inside the fence, watching the cars pass by, for the next couple of years. He got better, thank goodness.
@@Thistle4444 I'm aware of greyfriars Bobby. There's a reason I said most, not all. The case of GB isn't really the same as a dog's owner decomposing in the woods. Cool story though. I hope anyone who isn't aware of it and sees your comment will check it out.
We lived in northern Colorado, and literally every year during camping & hiking season the reports of mountain lion sightings or attacks would commence. They are easily camouflaged by their surroundings and notoriously stalk their prey. Add to that a brazen nature that’s not easily intimidated and you have a ferocious predator. Prey is often moved to caves for cubs and not left out in the open. Their scream will raise the hair on the back of your neck.
Whether it's ghosts, bigfoot, UFOs or whatever, these missing persons videos are the creepiest of them all. I'm not even sure why, but they chill me more than anything else. That creepy music didn't help. Well done.
I am curious if there has been any suggestions as to why Connie could not be understood. Is this unusual when communicating via satellite? Also why are no clothes or belongings never found in so many cases?
If there's no clothes or belongings found in certain cases, it's more likely the items are with the body which also hasn't been found, unless the clothes get dragged away by animals eating the body, but there are a lot of cases where they find clothes and other items.
i couldn't find anything from the parks service or her family. all my sources just said that there was radio contact, but they couldn't understand what she was trying to say. i wish there was more detail about what they heard. my guess is either, as the person above me said, she was having a stroke, or someone turned up at the camp and was attacking her, and she was trying to call for help mid-assault. or it could just be a coincidence-she tried to make a standard call to them and there was a problem with the radio, and she just happened to go missing sometime later. without more information, it's hard to tell if this contact has anything to do with her disappearance or not.
@@heavycasefiles From what I read, there was evidence that she had left the cabin on foot, without her radio or her coat (I believe) and had taken a trail that led out deeper into the woods, due to there being footprints that led a short distance down a trail and then seemingly disappearing. Hers and her dogs. Unless she was extremely confused due to a stroke, I wouldn't imagine that she would head deeper into the woods and there was no information indicating that the footprints had any sort of gait issue, as you would likely expect from someone having a stroke. The article specifically mentions that nothing appeared to have been out of place, aside from Connie leaving her coat and radio behind. This area would have been extremely difficult to get to, unless someone knew exactly where they were going and walked or rode in on horseback. I seem to also recall reading in one of the articles that the radio transmission was full of static and cutting in and out. I've followed this case very closely, as I live in Idaho and have relatives that live fairly close to where this occurred. I ran across the article for Connie Johnson's and Terrance Woods' disappearances a few days after the search for both of them happened, when I was looking for updates on a friend's case, who went missing 5 years prior in the same region. His case got no publicity, other than being included on a couple of websites for the missing. Which is probably more related to him being a tribal member than anything else, due to notorious issues with tribal agencies sharing the information with outside sources. These cases tend to get little media coverage, even within our own state. I dont expect you to just take my word for everything that I've said here, but it is indeed all information that that I read, in the days after Ms. Johnson went missing. I find it horrifically fascinating that 2 people would go missing under such odd circumstances, just miles apart and on nearly the same day, in regards to Ms. Johnson and Mr. Wood. Its just strange to me. Anyhow, I want to say thank you for bringing light to Ms. Johnson's case. I don't know her or her family but I can bet that her family could use closure and in my eyes, videos like this one bring necessary exposure to these cases. That's never a bad thing.
When you consider just how many people go missing annually in the forests and woods of the National Parks service and you realize that the Service DOES NOT keep a list of those who go missing or record ANY data at all it begs the question WHY NOT! I feel awful for those who have been lost, but more so to the families who have to live without the answer of "what happened to them and why can't we find remains?" If I knew that a child or spouse of mine was intending to go into the forests alone I would beg them not to. If you want solitude then go and lock yourself in your room alone but if you DO GO alone be prepared for the fact that it might be YOU who we are searching for in the future. There are things on this planet that we cant explain and some of it is evil. If you are not familiar with David Paulides work then I strongly suggest you get familiar with it. Families destroyed and lives ruined. Thank you for showing us these people. How very tragic and I am sorry for their families loss!
Allira when you realize how immense these national parks and forests are, it makes sense how people go missing all the time. I doubt it has anything to do with big foot or aliens. People go into these mountains not being prepared, no equipment, improper clothing, not enough water or food and no gps trackers. People and their remains can go missing to never been scene again. David Paulidas doesn’t think it’s possible for people or children to be able to travel as far as some people have when they are found, he must not take into account adrenaline or how much stamina a child has. My nephew runs five miles every day with his mother bc he loves it and has energy for days.
Being from the mountains of Colorado and spending many days hiking and enjoying the outdoors, there are many dangers. I remember having to be careful where I walked because there are many, many mine shafts left over from the Gold Rush. I sometimes wonder if rescuers should check them.
I used to think its sad but that these folks simply got lost and passed away. However, after watching so many of these stories in more detail I am left baffled because of the fact that they literally disappear, vanish with nothing ever being found in areas that, while rural, had been thoroughly searched and been travelled by thousands over the many years over every possible trail. Bones, clothes, supplies do not just evaperate. something extremely strange is going on.
This is why I hike the urban jungle only. Sure, it sucks, irritating and rude humans everywhere, but Google Maps to help when lost. Rather than out there with no help insight.
It's always the same. Authorities will pay for everything but the volunteers. Volunteer means no paycheck. Not that that volunteers do not expect payment, that's fine. But why can't the authorities offer some monetary offering to ease their costs. Or, am I completely wrong?
Really surprised you didn't mention the strange disappearance in relation to Connie Johnson of Terrance Woods, he disappeared in the same area a short time after her.
This happens more often than we're aware of within national parks, many under mysterious circumstances. Check out David Paulides-Missing 411 for more of these odd disappearances.
This is so crazy I'm a big fan of missing 411 and it baffles me how someone can go missing in these parks and r never found I thank they need to shut down these parks for good and not let people in

Most of these people seem like they had experiences in the wilderness. But on some days even the professionals can get it wrong.
Yes, because even if you are "experienced" wandering off with a jacket and a couple bottles of water or just what you can carry in a fanny pack isn't going to help if you are in trouble. Even if you are fully prepared to rough it, a tumble or an unexpected snake bite is all it takes when you are alone in the middle of nowhere. Even in our modern times, sometimes when you go out to experience the wilderness, you get more wilderness than you expected or wanted.
Completely agree. Alot of channels out there mistake improbable for impossible.
@@ruthmeow4262 A snake "bit?" Hmmm. Unexperienced?
Hunters disappear in the wilderness they know so well
If you’re going to hike alone invest in a locator beacon/device.
Never hike alone. Even experienced hikers have been lost.

@@sammygirl6910 Yes they have.
A friend of mine got lost overnight in Glacier. On a well established hiking trail to boot. A guy had gotten lost on the same trail the week prior, but was never found. In any case, there was confusion in a trail turn on the way down and she had gotten split from her group as they assumed she had just jogged ahead a bit. On the route, going down made sense but the proper route was to go up hill for awhile, and the path would eventually take you down. A reasonable mistake.
She had heard her fellow hikers looking for her through the night but could not find them. She had a whistle and would blow it but they could not hear it at all...even though she could hear them. Why they could not hear her yell out or her whistle was probably due to the way the mountain was positioned between them (canyon type nook). In any case it made me think of carrying a flashlight to shine should you ever get lost, and maybe a firearm to shoot to alert people where you are. Whistles don’t work. It is so easy to get lost yet it just happens upon us when we least expect it.
Glacier is no joke. Glad she was OK.
Yes whistles aren’t a sure thing. Unless the searchers are a 100 yards away maybe they’ll hear it.
A long distance flashlight, whistle, and some unnatural, neon colored article of clothing(like bright orange or pink) are all easily obtainable things that can save your life
People, don't go off alone in the wilderness! Crap, I won't even hike the woods alone and I grew up in them. Too much can happen out there, like getting shot by a hunter who thinks he sees a deer (people can be stupid sometimes).
You're going to be at 100K subs in no time! Your channel is so quality and most of the stories are not commonly known 🖤💀 Thanks for bringing attention to these cases.
Agreed. So many channels do the "famous" cases. I think it's great she covers lesser known ones
I’m from the northern Idaho area, 4th generation. There are a whole lot of people that have gone missing up here. It’s awesome country, but it will kill greenhorns.
Yep. I'm from Boise and I wouldn't dare go into some of those mountains. Farthest I go is Grimes or robie Creek..and that's not even far lol
Meghan Hixon I don’t have Any issue going out into the woods by myself, I think I realize that if i go down, there ain’t a line of people who want to go find you. They would rather just have another Raineer. It isn’t personal , just self preservation. Nice to meet you fellow Spud.
@@wayupnorth9420 hello fellow other spud! Lmao I love that. Yeah I definitely understand. I'll go to table Rock & the foothills but even then I know they found a dead body in the foothills so I'm like lol nope self preservation. Nature doesn't care who you are if you aren't equipped you gon die lol
Meghan Hixon well put.
zadose , I love your enthusiasm :-)
When you’ve grown up in the hood, getting to the corner store and back without getting jumped, shot, stabbed, kidnapped, snatched up, etc was ALL the adrenaline rush I need in my life. And that was just to get penny candy and 10 cent root beer Flavored popsicles... I consider myself to be in retirement on the adventure stuff.
The thing that astonishes me is how many are accidentally found years later. There a lot of empty territory out there.
What is even stranger is that there has over the months and years multiple searches for missing people at specific locations and one would think that if a person's remains were not found in the particular search for them, then searchers in subsequent searches for others would stumble over their remains. But this almost never happens.
I was watching one of these and they searched a 50 mile radius. They found the missing man about 1 block outside the search area a few years later. Well his remains.
Even bones do decompose eventually, if they aren’t already carried off by animals.
@@someone55995 Of course.
@@lewisdoherty7621 in Norway this happens often enough. Often someone fell and ended up under som ledge or crevasse in scraggly terrain along the mountain side that is impossible to see for passerby. Years later it is often a climber with climbing gear that find the remains. Or they ended up in bodies of water. We as a species can't even find our keys on the regular. People can move around and even if they didn't, I could sit behind a nook of a boulder in the woods, still exposed, and not hear a group of people walk right over me on a trail. POV, angle and attentiveness in every square meter is hard to do in a vast area of millions of square kilometers.
Disappeared videos are the best ones!

Your channel and Dark Curiosities are my favourite ones on UA-cam. Thank you for all your interesting and well researched videos, ladies.
Just made my Sunday even better!
Cases like these ones, people going missing forever under strange circumstances make me afraid to go hiking in the woods. It's like all these people were swallowed by the Earth. The storms coming right after the disappearances making searches so difficult, impossible, as well as erasing tracks. Bizarre and spooky. I wonder if there are supernatural entities out there taking people away in the wilderness.
They always leave the trail for some reason.
@@TRUECRIMESPTV Yes, that's so spooky
Sasquatch leaves no traces for dogs. No dog will track down the sasquatch, will be afraid. Moreover, he throws the victims over his shoulders and carries them away. You will never take a trace
They are abducted by Sasquatch. We must listen to the native peoples. This is not a fairy tale.
Watch David Paulides' documentary Missing 411 The Hunted.
There's nothing to do with "tranquillity" in the wild. Animals live by eating other animals.
Thank you for bring the stories of those we haven’t heard of to life!
Went camping in the exact same place in Montana, the Bitterroot mountains are a spooky place! There was a moment, where we were rock hunting on a slide and both of us, without knowing what the other was feeling, felt anxious with a feeling we were being watched from the treeline above us! It got so bad for me that I walked over to my husband and said, "let's get the the fuck out of here!" I don't use this language. He responded with "can't do it fast enough!" After getting back into the jeep and driving away, we both realized that we felt something, ominous, almost threatening and it took us out of the camping mood and shortened our trip by days. We are two very experienced campers, both in our later years and have never experienced such discord in a natural setting. Something or someone, didn't appreciate us hanging out in their neighborhood!
That's pretty damn creepy!
Yup, that's the feeling of being the 'prey', while out in the woods. You and your husband definitely stumbled into the territory of something or someone that maybe doesn't want you there or maybe wants you there too much. I hear grizz attacks are on the rise, especially in Montana. You'll generally know when you are in the presence of a big bear, but every once in awhile you'll get an old, sneaky one that knows better than to make too much noise. It's apparently all the rage right now to have your meth lab out in the woods too, from what I read in the news. When the woods go silent and you have that ominous feeling of danger, it's time to retreat, no matter what it may or may not be that's causing it. Good call.
Maybe a Sasquatch. Many stories abound about ominous feelings of dread before sightings.
I remember a story I saw about a lady who decided to go for a run with her dog and ended up falling 60 feet into a canyon and breaking her pelvis. Her dog stayed with her for days, but she eventually told him to go home (or something of that nature)... The dog ended up going to the beginning of the trail where she started, saw the search party and led them back to her. If she hadn't taken him that day, she never would have been found as she was near death by the time they got to her and was in an area not easily visible.
I like it when there is a survivor.. Ace's smile is so sweet. RIP Connie. 💔 I hope her remains are found someday.
Note to self never go into wilderness! 😯
At least not alone. Never lag behind or run ahead. That's the key! And never climb the random staircases in the woods either. There are things out there that we simply can't comprehend!
@@ASartori86 What kinds of things? Avoiding stairways isn't always the most fun.
No.. the stairs are safer because the ground gets slippery after rainfall. If you have an option take the stairs.
@@NiecieSavo I agree, but we've been warned!
Reach41 you both clearly don’t understand what that person is saying. They’re saying if you see a *random* staircase in the woods, don’t take it. Not “if you’re on a hike & it has a staircase on its path, go around the most dangerous way you can.” like you guys are acting lol.
Weird that no article of clothing was ever found. Also, I hike a lot and love it but know that when it comes to survival I’m out of luck.
this channel needs way more credit!! amazing content and real photos!!! im a brand new sub as of today, been binging ever since!!
It's amazing to me that someone could disappear without a trace along the trail to Half Dome in Yosemite. This is one of the most popular and heavily used trails around. I am surprised there was no mention of people seeing Mr. Morrison along the trail at any point.
5 well resarch subjects and keep up the awesome work
Again, very talented story design and execution. Good job! You have to wonder what happens to these missing people in the wilderness. Do they get disorientated and wander for 10's of KM's before succumbing to the elements?
It’s eerie to think that people lost in the woods may have perished in a very easy to find place but animals could scatter their remains and make it that much harder to find them
Thing I love about this channel is that the stories are original and not a rehashed of other stories
Luv ur channel girl! Keep up the good work! !!👍👊✌
LOVE this channel!! Glad to see it growing so fast!
I've lived in Hamilton Montana for forty years. It always amazes me that people can get lost here. The Bitterroot and Sapphire mountains are two parallel, fairly low mountain ranges that border the east and west sides of the well populated valley. It would be highly unlikely to be in those mountains and not see the lights and highway in the valley below. Whenever they say someone is "lost" here....my first thought is that a Bear or Mountain Lion had a good meal!
Thanks for sharing. Such sad stories.
You are amazing. I am so grateful for your content- a new video makes my day.
I had a pound dog that had never been out of our yard.... it got lost about 5 to 6 miles away in a rural area.... when we couldn’t locate it after a couple of days we figured coyotes had got her..... 8 days later she showed up one night.... and I swear the dog had gained 10 lbs... ( it was dead of winter and unusually cold for our area East TN).....
Frost Roxie that’s a fighter!
She loved her people!
Another great video! Thanks for all you do!
Thank you for including Connie Johnson's case in your video. I'm from Idaho, myself, and since hers is a recent case, I can appreciate that you are bringing it to people's attention. I don't know her or anything, but her case didn't get a lot of media coverage and it's just nice to see it get some exposure just in case she's wondering around in some place and can't remember who she is or something like that. Although there's a better chance that she isn't with us anymore, at least people can be on the lookout for her in any case, so thanks for that.
Love your videos and channel. Keep them coming please :-)
Thank you for covering unsolved cases. Your work will help solve a case some day.
The two men who left in their helicopter, I’d talk to them first.
They did, that's how they knew he stayed in that area.
Happy 100,000 subs! Time for a Q&A!
it will always blow my mind that people can literally just vanish without a trace and their remains are never even found 😩 my heart goes out to the families 😢❤️
The Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness (first story: Susan, and the third one, Connie) is some of the most remote and wildest area in the country, short of Alaska. It's hard for people from more populated areas to imagine how vast and uninhabited this area is. The fact that the guide had to ride horseback out 25 miles should give you some clue, though. There are millions of acres of untouched wilderness. There are no roads, not one lives there. Straying away from the campsite and not being able to find your way back can be absolutely fatal--there's just so much for searchers to comb, and it is so rugged and hard to traverse. A very unforgiving landscape.
As a parent, I would lose my mind if one of my kids went missing!!
Yay! You brought back the 🎶!
Oooh a new video! I love your channel ☺️👌🏽
I work in the Lochsa and Clearwater river areas. It's some big but very beautifuly dangerous woods. If you ever visit Idaho, it's well worth a visit.
What I appreciate is the massive efforts of rescue, civilian and military personnel to find these missing people. It is testimony to the fact that every life matters, every one will be missed!
It's really strange how the weather gets really bad after people go missing.....
Best channel , yet.
Another excellent production. ...and thanks for not referring to that "Missing 411" horsepucky. There are more ways to disappear in the wilderness than there are people wandering around in it.
Thank YOU, for bringing that up! It's a massive, steaming pile of horsepucky, and it seems there are massive piles of people falling for it. Unbelievable.
I don't think most dogs would stay with their person once they weren't 'their person' anymore. Sorry to be so morbid.
Grey friars Bobby look it up if you get chance. A dog does exactly that with its master. Truly amazing story!
@@Thistle4444 And Hachiko from Japan.
A little dog was lost or tossed out of a car near my family's ranch. Poor thing insisted on staying by the side of the highway, waiting for his owners to return, for weeks. We were afraid he'd be hit, so eventually we found him a home across the county. It broke my heart to hear he still sat inside the fence, watching the cars pass by, for the next couple of years. He got better, thank goodness.
Ashes, Ashes ☹️
@@uwpride It started out rough, but he lived a good ten or so more years happy, with a loving family. Probably better in the long run
@@Thistle4444 I'm aware of greyfriars Bobby. There's a reason I said most, not all. The case of GB isn't really the same as a dog's owner decomposing in the woods. Cool story though. I hope anyone who isn't aware of it and sees your comment will check it out.
We lived in northern Colorado, and literally every year during camping & hiking season the reports of mountain lion sightings or attacks would commence. They are easily camouflaged by their surroundings and notoriously stalk their prey. Add to that a brazen nature that’s not easily intimidated and you have a ferocious predator. Prey is often moved to caves for cubs and not left out in the open. Their scream will raise the hair on the back of your neck.
Interesting & great research.
Whether it's ghosts, bigfoot, UFOs or whatever, these missing persons videos are the creepiest of them all. I'm not even sure why, but they chill me more than anything else. That creepy music didn't help. Well done.
Thank You 😊
Another great video, thank you. Although I like this background music I prefer the other one, it seems to suit the subject matter better.
in the first case was she injured or not? what's with the track's?
Yes I found that odd that means someone was injured at some point
These stories always freak me out so much. Wanted to go hiking and camping but frankly I'm scared. Thanks HC.💔🌹
New content.....cool!😀😀. And, as I always say, I absolutely love your voice. I have a huge 'crush' on you because of it!☺☺☺☺
Again..never ever, venture off alone
Chilling.
Do you ever hear of people going missing when they're part of a search party out looking for a missing person?
Good video, thanks I had never heard of this one. Thank you for sharing
I am curious if there has been any suggestions as to why Connie could not be understood.
Is this unusual when communicating via satellite?
Also why are no clothes or belongings never found in so many cases?
If there's no clothes or belongings found in certain cases, it's more likely the items are with the body which also hasn't been found, unless the clothes get dragged away by animals eating the body, but there are a lot of cases where they find clothes and other items.
Maybe she had a stroke.
i couldn't find anything from the parks service or her family. all my sources just said that there was radio contact, but they couldn't understand what she was trying to say. i wish there was more detail about what they heard. my guess is either, as the person above me said, she was having a stroke, or someone turned up at the camp and was attacking her, and she was trying to call for help mid-assault. or it could just be a coincidence-she tried to make a standard call to them and there was a problem with the radio, and she just happened to go missing sometime later. without more information, it's hard to tell if this contact has anything to do with her disappearance or not.
@@heavycasefiles From what I read, there was evidence that she had left the cabin on foot, without her radio or her coat (I believe) and had taken a trail that led out deeper into the woods, due to there being footprints that led a short distance down a trail and then seemingly disappearing. Hers and her dogs. Unless she was extremely confused due to a stroke, I wouldn't imagine that she would head deeper into the woods and there was no information indicating that the footprints had any sort of gait issue, as you would likely expect from someone having a stroke. The article specifically mentions that nothing appeared to have been out of place, aside from Connie leaving her coat and radio behind. This area would have been extremely difficult to get to, unless someone knew exactly where they were going and walked or rode in on horseback. I seem to also recall reading in one of the articles that the radio transmission was full of static and cutting in and out. I've followed this case very closely, as I live in Idaho and have relatives that live fairly close to where this occurred. I ran across the article for Connie Johnson's and Terrance Woods' disappearances a few days after the search for both of them happened, when I was looking for updates on a friend's case, who went missing 5 years prior in the same region. His case got no publicity, other than being included on a couple of websites for the missing. Which is probably more related to him being a tribal member than anything else, due to notorious issues with tribal agencies sharing the information with outside sources. These cases tend to get little media coverage, even within our own state. I dont expect you to just take my word for everything that I've said here, but it is indeed all information that that I read, in the days after Ms. Johnson went missing. I find it horrifically fascinating that 2 people would go missing under such odd circumstances, just miles apart and on nearly the same day, in regards to Ms. Johnson and Mr. Wood. Its just strange to me. Anyhow, I want to say thank you for bringing light to Ms. Johnson's case. I don't know her or her family but I can bet that her family could use closure and in my eyes, videos like this one bring necessary exposure to these cases. That's never a bad thing.
When you consider just how many people go missing annually in the forests and woods of the National Parks service and you realize that the Service DOES NOT keep a list of those who go missing or record ANY data at all it begs the question WHY NOT! I feel awful for those who have been lost, but more so to the families who have to live without the answer of "what happened to them and why can't we find remains?" If I knew that a child or spouse of mine was intending to go into the forests alone I would beg them not to. If you want solitude then go and lock yourself in your room alone but if you DO GO alone be prepared for the fact that it might be YOU who we are searching for in the future. There are things on this planet that we cant explain and some of it is evil. If you are not familiar with David Paulides work then I strongly suggest you get familiar with it. Families destroyed and lives ruined. Thank you for showing us these people. How very tragic and I am sorry for their families loss!
The Bigfoot guy... no thanks. You do you though.
Allira when you realize how immense these national parks and forests are, it makes sense how people go missing all the time. I doubt it has anything to do with big foot or aliens. People go into these mountains not being prepared, no equipment, improper clothing, not enough water or food and no gps trackers. People and their remains can go missing to never been scene again. David Paulidas doesn’t think it’s possible for people or children to be able to travel as far as some people have when they are found, he must not take into account adrenaline or how much stamina a child has. My nephew runs five miles every day with his mother bc he loves it and has energy for days.
Aweeee Ace the pup 🥺❤️
In the middle of the video, got a 4 1/2 minute ad for Yosemite lodges
Being from the mountains of Colorado and spending many days hiking and enjoying the outdoors, there are many dangers. I remember having to be careful where I walked because there are many, many mine shafts left over from the Gold Rush. I sometimes wonder if rescuers should check them.
How does all their stuff disappear too??
I used to think its sad but that these folks simply got lost and passed away. However, after watching so many of these stories in more detail I am left baffled because of the fact that they literally disappear, vanish with nothing ever being found in areas that, while rural, had been thoroughly searched and been travelled by thousands over the many years over every possible trail.
Bones, clothes, supplies do not just evaperate. something extremely strange is going on.
Thank you! Great reseaech/content 😀
thank you for finding people that haven't been listed to death (no pun intended!) I have never heard of any of these people :)
This is why I hike the urban jungle only. Sure, it sucks, irritating and rude humans everywhere, but Google Maps to help when lost. Rather than out there with no help insight.
I got an ad for Yosemite Park on this video lmao
I'm a simple girl. HCF uploads and I click🤗
Even most experienced hikers can get turned around or mixed up, especially if dehydration sets in, sadly that truly mess with your mind badly.
Wow. I live 14 mins from big sur and never heard of this!
@QTee no shit??? It's pretty famous for the waterfalls and Bixby bridge
It's always the same. Authorities will pay for everything but the volunteers. Volunteer means no paycheck. Not that that volunteers do not expect payment, that's fine. But why can't the authorities offer some monetary offering to ease their costs. Or, am I completely wrong?
Good presentation as usual 😀
dude, I hike ALL over Colorado and a big fear of mine is stumbling across remains.
# 1 & 3 were murdered by their husbands. #2 was murdered by the father-son duo.
Really surprised you didn't mention the strange disappearance in relation to Connie Johnson of Terrance Woods, he disappeared in the same area a short time after her.
I always wonder if its just wildlife that kills people in disappearances.
Most of these cases are missing 411 type very very strange .
This happens more often than we're aware of within national parks, many under mysterious circumstances. Check out David Paulides-Missing 411 for more of these odd disappearances.
This is so crazy I'm a big fan of missing 411 and it baffles me how someone can go missing in these parks and r never found I thank they need to shut down these parks for good and not let people in
