My only question is did these kids ever give descriptions when they were older? I know memory can fade but surely you could never forget a "bear" spending the night with you.
I always wondered the same thing myself. Not everyone forgets traumatic experiences either, in fact some people wouldn't even call this traumatic just odd.
It’s not uncommon for animals to mistake the cries of human children for the cries of their own young, and seek to protect and nurture them. There is a story of a young girl in Africa being kidnapped and her kidnapper/s being mauled to death by an entire pride of lions. When a search team went to look for her they found her protected by a circle of lions, and it’s theorized that her cries sounded like a hurt cub to the lions and that’s why they wanted to protect her. There are also stories of animals taking in and raising animals that are not the same species, either because they are grieving from having lost their young or because they simply mistook that animal for one of their own and brought it into their litter. It’s not like I don’t believe in Sasquatch but I’m just saying it’s not unheard of for animals to randomly care for each other and for humans.
But making shelters, and picking berries... Thats quite hard to imagine that an animal could do that..... Would be a revolutionary behaviour for a bear to built an actual shelter. Actually never witnessed
@@oreziopancrazio3685 kids are also know to exaggerate though, and there is only one case where it was mentioned that the animal picked berries. Bears are known to eat berries so it’s entirely possible they were near some or just happened to have some that wound up on the ground near where they slept. In a child’s mind that can easily equate to, “Oh look the nice bear picked them for me!” If all cases spoke to this I’d be less inclined to dismiss that piece, but it was only one kid so I’d say that can be safely thrown out as a child’s hyperbole for the sake of objectivity. The shelters are also easily explained as pre existing constructs. I do some SAR and am an avid backpacker, and I’ve seen animals many times take advantage of shelters humans made and left behind while on backpacking adventures or on a hike. It’s possible that they simply sought shelter in things already made.
100% agree with you here. Some of the “weird” things mentioned in the stories are easily explainable. For example, in regards to the berries, kids are also know to exaggerate, and there is only one case where it was mentioned that the animal picked berries. Bears are known to eat berries so it’s entirely possible they were near some or just happened to have some that wound up on the ground near where they slept. In a child’s mind that can easily equate to, “Oh look the nice bear picked them for me!” If all cases spoke to this I’d be less inclined to dismiss that piece, but it was only one kid so I’d say that can be safely thrown out as a child’s hyperbole for the sake of objectivity.

I do some SAR and am an avid backpacker, and I’ve seen animals many times take advantage of shelters humans made and left behind while on backpacking adventures or on a hike. It’s possible that they simply sought shelter in things already made. I’d love to “believe” and quite want to, but not at the expense of throwing out objective facts.
There is footage of a small child falling into a gorilla enclosure at a zoo. The big male gorilla became aggressive and the female gorilla went over to protect the child from the male. The mothering instinct is something to behold.
Bear or Sasquatch, I would imagine these are cases of grieving mothers who lost their cubs and saw a small thing that obviously needed to be nurtured in order to survive, thus taking them and caring for them for a few days before “coming back to their senses” and leaving the child behind. Quite sad if you think about it that way
There is absolutely no evidence to support this claim. It is highly unlikely that a mother bear would exhibit maternal instincts towards a human child. Bears generally avoid close proximity to humans, let alone take a child for several days before suddenly deciding to return it. The entire scenario is implausible.
Back in the 1970s when I was a kid, I knew a kid who was half Choctaw. His grandfather, who was full Native American, told us that when he was a small child, his little cousin was taken. And that she lived with the People of the Hills, Swamps, and Woods. Just though it was a "cool" story until I came across this video. I have 4 daughters of my own. None of them are small children anymore. But I can't imagine losing one.
"People of the Hills" is exactly what the Irish otherworldly people were known as in mythology and folklore. Someties I get weirded out by the parallels between those stories and these. They were also believed to steal children, and others, favoring boys over girls, were believed to be able to control at least some weather phenomena, and overall just parallel these stories in so many ways. I don't know if it's just people coming up with similar stories to deal with the same phenomena of disappearing people, but it freaks me out how recognisable some of these narratives are.
In the past, various Native American tribes had warned their kids about being carried off by a Sasquatch type creature. As much as we may be in disbelief by this, there may be something to it.
not only native american tribes -USA-, in the south of latam in the amazonia the people who live in isolated tribe tell about the mountain men, big men with much hair who protect the mountain, the aparience is more similar to a ape
@@sheldonedmund4914 yes. Many stories of the yowie. There’s a UA-cam channel, which is a call in show, where people share their encounters and there are a lot a lot! Very interesting hearing the anecdotes first hand too.
I was a huge skeptic until a camping trip i went on 6 years ago. I don't know what i encountered that night but it imitated human speech and it took a bullet from a .357 and got back up and took off. People have told me that it might of been a skinwalker all i know is we truly don't really know what is out there.
I don’t know why it’s so unbelievable to people that their could be other human like species....look at apes, or what use to be Neanderthals. Who would have thought dinosaurs roamed this very earth....had there been no fossils? I think it’s more unbelievable that there are species, who create skyscrapers, bridges, airplanes, ships, cars, televisions, phones, explore space, ect.....if is hard to believe that any species exist, it’s human beings👌
@@coloradorocky1298 They don't believe because of their fear. Same with religion; they need it because they are fear nothing happens after they died and because they can't assume their own acts.
When I was 4 I wondered off from our camp fire near dusk. Once I realised I was lost, I started to get scared. Next thing I know, a huge hairy hand took my hand and walked me to the edge of the trees. There was our fire and my family. I was so happy to see them, I almost forgot about my friend. I turned to thank him, and all I saw was a dark mass of hair disappearing behind a tree. This was in the Nez Perce forest, in 1975. I've had many experiences over my 50 years on this earth with creatures like this. I've always called them the Watchers. I don't know if these are what helped me. It's all very intriguing, and just when humans think we've solved all the mysteries, Ma Nature shows us otherwise.
I remember passing out after drinking too much...came to the next day with a big hairy female Bigfoot laying next to me....she was in love...I ran"like hell"..
A nurturing bear is one who either had cubs or lost them to disease . Wolves act the same when maternal hormones are in full sway . I had a cat that raised a duckling after several of her kittens had died . She abducted a wood duck and the duck took to her too . The nuturing hormones are strong enough in some animals that they can raise young that they would normally prey upon or vice versa .
I have been told, by the old folks in my family, that there are still mountain people who are wild and do not want to be around today's kind of people. The wild women steal children and sometimes let them go. Sometimes not.
Casey Hathaway went missing less than 10 miles from house. My brother-in-law s helped search. He said the searchers were only an arm lengths from each other. The two nights he was missing got down in the teens which is really cold here in eastern NC. After that first night we all knew the toddler had perished in the cold because the afternoon he went missing he only had on a light wind breaker. In addition, where he was found had been thoroughly searched. This is a puzzle to all of us.
I have a theory which might sound crazy but what if it was a spirit of a Coree tribal member who cared for Casey? Or it could be a shapeshifter. In many legends from various Native American tribes bears have strong, familial connections to clans in terms of being ancestors. Who knows maybe it was even a Coree deity. I wished I had a more believable explanation but those are the three theories I have. I don’t know if Casey will be able to remember more due to infantile amnesia so we may never know the truth.
I was looking into this case and I found a comment on Reddit from someone who claims to be from New Bern (where Casey is from) and here is what they said: "My grandmother is lives in New Bern, and people talk. BEAR is the nickname of a mentally challenged man who lives close to Casey's family and knows them well. Bear wants kids but cannot have them. The story currently goes that Bear saw Casey alone outside, invited him over, and kept him the first 2 days. Thursday morning Bear's father found out he had Casey and demanded he return him to the woods. WHY NOT CALL THE COPS?? Well technically Bear kidnapped Casey. So to protect Bear his father told him to set him in the woods. Thursday night he is located 250 yards into the woods. 6 counties of cops combed over 250 ACRES of woods for over 2 days. Nobody heard a thing til Thursday evening. Casey shows ZERO evidence of exposure. Only cuts from the briar patch. He was calm because he spent most of that time with a familiar face. Also, WHY THE F was Casey outside alone with a 4 and 5 year old in an unfenced yard?? CPS needs to investigate that family. Casey's grandmother is currently in jail for murdering her boyfriend. There's a LOT more to this story." In a separate comment on the same thread, the same Reddit user says this claim is a common theory amongst locals about what actually happened. If there is any truth to this, that would explain a lot about the mystery of Casey saying that he was taken care of by a "bear". Why didn´t authorities looked up the claims of the locals is anyone´s guess - after all, it is still remains to be explained - besides his survival - the lack of evidence to exposure to the elements of a 3 year old who was missing in the woods for almost 3 days.
@@Llyrdriel Thanks. I read a lot of Native American mythology as a kid and teen. I even have a book on various Native American myths I purchased years ago. When I heard about this case I decided to familiarize myself with the indigenous history of the area. That’s how I learned of the Coree. If Casey attracted the attention of a Coree spirit, perhaps even a deity, then that could be how he managed to survive. Also I have read about ghosts who help the living in times of crisis so that’s what made me develop the theories. Unfortunately I don’t think we’ll ever know the full truth. Only Casey and whoever the bear was know the full, absolute truth and with infantile amnesia I don’t think Casey will be able to fully recall all the details.
There’s absolutely strange creatures in the woods. I’ll never forget hanging out with my friend one night near our favorite waterfall and we saw this large creature that looked like a deer but the legs were abnormally long and it sort of resembled a wolf as well. We immediately froze in the car cuz we KNEW that it was not anything we’ve seen before. It was the scariest experience of my life and I never went back to that spot at night.
@@pyromaniac034 woahhh I’ve never heard of that; I just looked it up and it’s possible? However, what we saw that night had to be at least 6-7 feet tall. It was HUGE. 😧
@@dannikris3696 woah. That’s no mane wolf. They don’t get that big. Maybe it was a moose that was going through rut or that had recently shed its antlers. Maybe
7:08 why is everyone assuming that the shelter has been made exclusively within the timespan that the girl was lost? It easily could've been a makeshift camp made by some adults some days/hours back, and the bear just used it as it's own shelter after it has been abandoned.
This video reminds me of a book I once read titled Monster, written by Frank Peretti. A work of fiction where a woman is taken by a female sasquatch that had recently and tragically lost its own child. The female creature was so grief stricken that the other sasquatch in her family, about 5 or so, did nothing to interfere and allowed the human to travel with them. It was a gripping story and really made me think. It remains one of my favorites to this day. PS (I enjoy the artwork that accompanies these videos.)
Also possible a really young kid might say it was a bear because they don't know any other similar animals? In at least one story the kid said gorilla, which makes sense if they just have a slightly larger vocabulary, they can be describing the same unknown creatures.
I mean the bear made a shelter? Sasquatch. Probably a female. The grandfather says he saw what he believed to be a bear. Who knows tho. Sasquatch definitely account for some of these but maybe bears do this from time to time as well. Seems unlikely tho. Especially if the bears are 'abducting' kids instead of coming across them stranded.
Theres another story from Michigan, a child said she was taken by a big wolf and it ate her hat, when her family found her, they saw a large creature running away from her
@@Bob-ln1jh yeah, both stories are similar, in one the dogman eats the kids hat, in the other one it eats the kids shoe, but other than that detail the stories are almost exactly the same
In our tribes we have a story of a boy who wondered off and was raised by a bear. When he became a man he found his way back to the tribe. He even fell in love for a short time. The girl got pregnant, but he was unhappy and returned to the bear. The son that was born was given the name bear. The tribe called themselves bear clan and eventually that family’s last name became bear and is still bear today.
I heard of a similar story only it involved a redheaded woman and a bear. I forgot which nation that tale came from but apparently that nation considered bears to be their ancestors. I’ll have to find my book of Native American myths and legends and look for it.
We once went camping at a creek that was surrounded by woods. We camped in a small clearing by the creek, we had an 8 month old son that was asleep in a childs play pen that I covered the top of with netting to keep the mosquitoes off. I never believed in a big foot type creatures, thought it was just a myth. But of coarse I had been going to the rest room all night not to far away from my son who was sleeping in the play pen so I could keep an eye on him as I did so. The area where we had the car parked was a good ways away from where we were camping because the woods were so thick that you couldnt get there by car. So we were sitting up by the water doing some night fishing and my husband had to go up to the car for something he needed so he took the pistol that we had with him to walk to the car because he had to go thru the woods to get there and I stayed at camp with my son. I had to go to the restroom so I went in my normal place at the edge of the woods so I could keep an eye on my son. There was a steep cliff that was about 10 foot high right behind a row of trees and as I squatted there I was facing that cliff, we had a lantern hanging on a tree branch right by the play pen that my son was sleeping in pointed towards the trees and the ciff. And I noticed some big eyes starring right at me and at first I thought it was an owl or something in the trees but before I could get up and pull my pants up a big creature with blonde curly hair was standing there on two legs walking towards me, I was scared shitless because I didnt know what it was. You know that old saying that you were so scared that the hair stood up on your arms, I was that scared and my first instinct was to run but I couldnt because my son was there in the play pen asleep, so I started screaming but that thing just kept walking straight at me by this time it was about 20 feet away, I had backed up as far as I could to the edge of the water right by the play pen. It didnt seem to be in a hurry to get to me, it was just walking. So when it got about 15 feet from me I drew in as much breath as I could and screamed to the top of my lungs and it just stopped and turned and walked away. Needless to say I now believe that there is something out there that us humans dont really know about. We did not camp that night, we packed up our stuff and went home! I asked around and talked to numerous people and went to the library and did research just trying to find something, anything that looked like what I saw that night, but everyone that I told just thought I was crazy! I never found any description or anyone else that had seen or reported seeing that creature. Years later we moved next door to an elderly couple that had grown up in the area and used to go night fishing in the area we were in that night and they told me that one night while they were fishing off the tail gate of their pickup at a creek about 2 miles from where we camped that night, they saw something like that walking up the creek and it scared them so bad that they jumped in the truck and left. They said it had light brown curly hair! A couple of years after there was a murder of a young man that was camping in that same area. He was found in his tent that had been shredded by what looked like claw marks and they said what ever attacked him had shredded his skin and ate out his insides and left the rest.
Damn.. glad you guys were ok! I believe you. Sucks though, that you didn't have any time to pull up your pants! 😂 Just screaming in terror at this thing walking towards you and your pants are just round your ankles! I don't mean to make light, but 🤷🏻♂️.. sorry, can't help it. I'm quite sure that was the least of your worries at the time. I hope your husband believed you, at least!
David Paulides once mentioned a case when a girl went missing while picking berries. She was eventually found, and her hat was missing. She had a strange story about being with a giant wolf, and the wolf ate her hat. It seems like a similar story to these "bear" encounters with children. Maybe whatever entity is taking these kids has the ability to shape shift.
Thought so too. If it’s a shapeshifter it could easily disguise itself and no evidence would ever be found except if someone manages to catch it shapeshifting on video
@@angelcitystudio Name some of them. I'm sure he would admit it himself if any of the cases he has mentioned were solved. You're just a troll who specifically doesn't like David Paulides, for your own twisted personal reasons.
@@kelloggkirsten Dogman attack people on sight, Bigfoot don't. Not dogman, but probably some other creature like some of the shape shifting variety in Native American legends. Believe me, Dogman either kill or chase people.
There is another well documented and often sighted creature called a Dogman. It's a creature that's described as a werewolf like beast that can run on two or four legs and in some encounters, looks somewhat bear like. It might explain the paw prints that made the searchers think they were tracking a bear, since Sasquatch has more human looking feet, just much larger. Dogmen are considered by researchers to have human level intelligence and there have been descriptions of dens made out of large tree branches piled in an almost teepee like manner. Most Dogman encounters often entail, the beast chasing humans out of it's territory, but it's possible that they might have a different attitude towards small children. After all, there are documented cases of actual wolves nurturing babies and toddlers, even a few rare cases of people having actually been raised by wolves.
Yes, more than a couple of the stories on the Dogman Encounters YT channel are from women talking about their experiences when they were children with "Dogman". One specifically, she was "friends" with until puberty, another recount (completely different woman), she was abducted and taken to their "den" (it wasn't a den thought, it was just in the woods).
@@peste2574 the name is misleading, most accounts just state a large canine like creature that can stand bipedally and in many instances people note a distinct popping noise when they stand. Tbh they need a different title, maybe Bray Road Beasts or something.
I had a bear creep up on me in Quantico VA a few months ago. He was about 5 feet away from me before I heard him; and the only reason I heard him is because I think it yawned. I never heard his footsteps. I was freaked out and ran but was amazed and how silent the steps were. I must have scared the bear off too because it ran away.
I have had a few encounters with black bears while living and camping in northern Manitoba. It's amazing how an animal that big can almost be on top of you before you see it, and as quiet as a mouse!
This first story was covered on the local news and the details about the boy saying a bear took care of him never made it into the national news reports. The temperatures dropped down to freezing but the boy was unharmed, I thought of Missing 411 right away. It’s a stranger world than most think.
I remember being young enough to be crawling around in my house. I can still draw a layout of the house, my mother and siblings have corroborated that the layout is correct. We moved from that house when I was 2 . So yes some people can remember things from that long ago.
People are just unwilling to believe that an animal such as a bear is capable of compassion because most people are incapable of such compassion themselves.....
It would be ignorant to believe that animals are not capable of compassion, you're right. But picking up the child with its forearm and running off, and handing berries to the child sounds more typical of a primate showing care than a bear, which would relies on its teeth to do things its forepaws just aren't dextrous enough to do.
I'm gonna tell this story: I went to Hurricane Ridge (Washington State) way back in 2015. On my way up the 17 mile road that leads up to it, I spotted some very deep depressions in the snow leading from the road up a mountain between some pine trees. I pulled over and looked closely at them, and also took photos and a video (which I can link to for anyone who is interested) and they looked like giant bare footprints (bare not bear). Shortly after, I was on my way back down from the trail as it had started getting a little too treacherous, and I had already slipped and fallen once. The higher up I got, the less visible the trail became and the deeper the snow. On my way down, I kept stopping to record video of the tree line up and down the mountain, as I kept having a sensation like I was being watched. Sure enough, a few minutes later, my eye caught movement about 2000 yards straight down the mountain off the trail I was descending. When I focused on what it was, suddenly a GIANT black bear came into view: lumbering slowly towards a group of trees that were just past the clearing it was crossing, which made it visible. I took a video of it with my Nikon super zoom camera (also have those photos and the video) and was pumped to have finally seen a bear in the wild and not stuck in a zoo. An older couple happened upon where I was standing near the trail, and I told them I had just recorded a bear. They were surprised and I offered to show them the video. I tried to turn on my camera but it wouldn't turn on. Pressed the power button several times, but my camera was broken. I pointed to where the bear was, and they were able to barely see it. They continued on their way, and just as they got out of my line of sight, all of a sudden, my camera started working again. Something prevented my camera from turning on until the other people had left. I was left with a strange feeling that somehow I had actually recorded Sasquatch instead, but that it had changed it's physical appearance to that of a bear. I know, I know, it's ridiculous; but at the time it seemed all too possible.
@@wms72 The only thing I can say for certain was that my camera was brand new, had never not turned on before and has never not turned on since. That's what made wonder if something else was happening.
In the missing 411 series there are stories of kids be helped by “men that look like big dogs/bears”. Berries are also a common detail in stories like this
Years ago I witnessed a bear carry two half grown pigs away at once by carrying one pig under each front law and walking away on its hind kegs. My grandfather tried to shoot the bear to save the pigs, but he missed it. I will never forget that sight or the sound of those squealing pigs as the bear carried them across the pasture.
The bears are actually big foot, I know of a game warden that was investigating an illiegal camp site, he tripped hit his head and broke his ankle and woke up ontop of his SUV smelling like b.o.
There was a case in the newspaper and on TV news in the early 2000s of a baby being taken from a family Summer camp in the Catskill Mountains in New York State, right off the porch in broad daylight. If I remember correctly, the child survived, but the bear may have been killed. Apparently, this sort of thing really does happen. Bears are fiercely protective of their cubs, so maybe it is a hardwired instinct to protect anyone small or young.
I wish these same children who'd been previously kidnapped/abducted can be found and re-interviewed as adults to give a more accurate and verified picture of what had actually happened to them while they were missing. Sure a lot of them were really young at the time. But some people's earliest memories can stretch as far back as when they were only 2 yrs old. At least that's the case for me and a few other people that I personally know.
I watched a documentary where researchers created robot animals that look EXACTLY like the real thing and blend into animal groups. The robots have cameras, so they're able to get video of previously unseen activities. We should do this with robot kids. Leave one in a national or forest, and see what happens.
I my mind a bear might be an easy word to replace big hairy thing I’ve never seen before , bears don’t build shelters that good, on top of that I don’t think a bear even if it wanted to take care of a child could move one without messy up the child’s clothes to some degree . These kids were taken by something with hands . It’s a shame the forest service and government has to keep lying to us
just because they are found in a shelter, it does not mean the bear or child built it. the animal could have found the shelter and been using it for some time..
I have never admitted this to anyone before in my life ,but as I get older (wrong side of 50) and hear more & more of these stories , I do believe that a being , be it Sasquatch or whatever , something interdimentional and intelligent is responsible.
While it's incredibly unlikely, large, predatory mammals will sometimes adopt juveniles members of a prey species to replace a lost cub. This phenomenon has been observed in lionesses adopting baby gazelles
That particular lioness most likely had some sort of OCD or PTSD, she would "adopt" these baby hoofstock, but would rarely make an effort to actually care for them, she was young, having not had cubs yet. She'd knock them around a bit, lick on them some, carry them around for a few days, but as they got weaker and weaker, she'd either kill them herself or leave them to die and on the few occasions another predator attacked them, she wouldn't do anything to defend them and was even seen feeding on one of the calves alongside a male lion. When she did have cubs, she exhibited some of the same behaviors, caring for the cubs for a few days before seemingly growing bored of them and abandoning them. So yeah, don't believe everything news articles or documentaries tell you.
@@blobbertmcblob4888 everything you said about the lion being a bad stepmom is true. My point is that if a lion can kidnap a gazelle on a whim and play house with it for a few days, then it stands to reason that a bear can kidnap and temporarily care for a lost child. Maybe bears can have OCD or PTSD too🤷♂️ they're intelligent animals with complex emotions so who knows!
@@blobbertmcblob4888 Makes me wonder if she didn't have some sort of brain tumor or malformation. Millions of years of mothering instinct butting heads with miswired brain circuitry.
A bear is the closest thing a child could compare sasquatch to, or other giant hairy wild men of the woods and mountains. It's a very common trope. Dennis Martin was another such case of this nature, but he unfortunately has never been found.
@@jimmyjames3819 Dennis Martin was a child who mysteriously went missing during a family outing in the Great Smoky Mountains in NC, I believe. If you haven’t looked it up, then you should. You won’t regret it. It’s a very interesting story!
Dennis's story is really sad and worth a cautionary tale to any parents and kids who go out as a group into the woods. The photos of Dennis resemble my son and the old childhood pictures of my husband from that age, which makes that story all the more close to home for me. I feel that the family probably trusted the older kids to keep an eye on him a bit more than they should have, but obviously I wasn't there so all I have to go on is what channels like this have to tell.
What I can say, is that once when I visited a zoo not far from my house, I was very surprised to see a quiet brown bear in her pond catching apples with one of her paws and bring them to his jaw to perfectly cut them in half to eat them in several batches. It was amazing and funny to watch.
It could've been a sasquatch, but there are also reports in the Smokies of what are known as "wildmen", or basically feral people. I think it's quite possible that this is what snatched little Dennis. I think these are probably like sasquatches, but just smaller, closer to the size of a regular human. Also, there have even been reports of local game wardens being attacked by these things. Finally, wth were the Green Berets doing there?!?!
Agreed. Sadly tons of belivers in Bigfoot don't have open minds. To them, it HAS to exist. Any reasonable explanation is thrown out in favour of Sasquatches
I was a part of the volunteer group to search for Casey. The whole situation was very wierd from the start and everyone I talked to from our community suspected some sort of foul play. There is still alot of unanswered questions and details.
There is a video on UA-cam that is based on a written account by a soldier who was wounded and lost in the woods after the battle of Shiloh in West Tennessee. He was cared for by creatures matching the description of Bigfoot.
Why is there always horrific weather after someone goes missing...just to screw up any way of finding them!? It's a blizzard, 🌪️ monsoon, earthquakes...just insane cases really.
Interesting factoid: if you look up Radagast Brown’s comments on this channel, you will find that 100% of them are related to speaking negatively about David Paulides, and the Missing 411 book series. Regarding your statement about there always being horrific weather patterns related to these cases … keep in mind that not all of the missing persons cases covered on this channel, or in the Missing 411 books, are followed by extreme weather patterns. However, David Paulides did discover that a number of anomalous cases do include severe weather patterns either just as or just after the persons went missing, or just as searches were being organized. The weather patterns themselves could contribute to why people may have gone missing, or were never found, but are not in themselves a cause to explain the phenomenon, as correlation is not the same as causality. The cases presented in Missing 411 some may call “cherry picked”. The reality is that there are so many missing persons cases (hundreds of thousands) in these clusters, that just the nature or cataloguing them, investigating them, and writing about them, means that only specific cases can be highlighted. David Paulides highlights cases he has noticed thru his research, and via the CanAmProject database he must invariably be building, to contain specific standout anomalies, such as extreme weather patterns. Therefore, a true picture of the statistics related to these anomalies can be uncovered over time.
I think this is a case of correlation and not causation. It all depends on what type of climate you live in. And in an area of America where rain or snow is frequent and inevitable means decreasing the chance of finding the missing person, and increase thd chances of a person going missing to begin with. But there is no direct causal link between missing persons and bad weather. If you think about it logically it makes sense. Bad weather inhibits searching which decreases the chances of the person being found. Therefore they end up a well known "missing person" that we hear about in documentaries etc. So naturally, there are going to be more cases of missing persons involving bad weather. And so we assume a causation between the missing and the bad weather. The missing person doesn't cause the bad weather, the bad weather contributes the missing person. (To say it in a simple way.) But not always. Case and point: plenty of people go missing and are never found despite constant good weather that is ideal for search parties. And people have been found even during bad weather, rain and snow. In short: it rains and snows in certain places. This inhibits searches. Which decrease the likelihood of being found. So therefore there will be more cases involving bad weather and missing people. No mystery. Nothing supernatural. Just simple, logical stuff.
Perhaps. That would also explain the building capabilities as well as the intellect in keeping the small kids safe from the elements. However the foot prints that searchers saw where supposedly of bear. They might have been distorted so they might have been those of a Sasquatch
Yup ... some stories i heard from buckeye bigfoot and dixie cryptid YT channels .. mention of good ones fighting off bad ones to protect humans. Some good ones have generational relationships with humans who were generous to them
I do believe these humanoid creatures exist. Too many people have described encounters with these creatures. I also believe that they are studied extensively by government agencies. I am bewildered as to why the clothing and shoes seem to always be taken off or missing! I'm very impressed with your investigative prowess!
Our clothes stink, plain and simple. Shoes especially, must reek to most animals. I always try to explain it this way, many reports people say the stench is like sulfer from Sasquatch. We smell like that to them.
It happens a lot even with non human youngsters like a lion playing with a baby deer, but nothing to the extent of taking care of them like these stories in the video. Some type of hairy humanoid like a bigfoot makes more sense to me.
I'm very excited to see what this channel brings next! This is def the kinna content that interests me. Shout out to Missing Persons and Mysteries channel 🙂 Steve and the guys at that channel is how I found this one. Nice to see u guys lifting each other up and helpin one another out..this is how it should be. ❤
What’s more baffling to me than these things possibly existing is that people actually think they know what could or couldn’t come out at night in the depths of the wilderness.
To not believe there is some other phenomenon going on is crazy..stories from around the world with similar traits and scenarios of children becoming lost or found by a "big bear" well taken care of in conditions that most adults can't survive in..amazing
Just found your channel thanks to the Missing Persons and Mysteries channel. Your illustrations and narration are great! Looking forward to seeing more.
They said it was a bear cause that’s all they could assume it was cause they never seen or herd of a bf and thought it was to be something like a bear cause it seen the back of it and seen it holding a person
I dont think sasquatch would leave bear tracks. Also there are also long standing tales of creatures that take children. Shape shifters and forest guardians that have soft spots for the extreamly young human children. Many were even "given" unwanted children in old stories.
Nobody took these children’s clothes and had them analyzed to see if it was bears. Was there any smell? The older stories l can understand but what about these later stories?
Or search the area where the kid was found for hair and take it to a lab. They should really do that especially in the cases where the kids were found in a shelter then they would find some DNA evidence for sure
It's not bears. Think about it. That's just what people say to avoid being called crazy, and the closest looking thing that kids know of to refer to when describing what took them.
You think little tiny kids care about being called crazy? They’re not yet weighed down with the crap adults are. Young kids tell it like they see it, or can best explain it with whatever verbal skills and vocabulary they have at the time.
@@isabellaangeline2175 its not the kids worrying about being called crazy it would be though that what they saw they would think i was a bear as that would be the closest thing they could describe it to if it was something like bigfoot and then the adults only get a quick glimpse and dont really think it look just like a bear but dont want to say oh yeah i saw bigfoot so they just say yeah i think i saw a bear..simple really its just always people like you that has to try and prove people wrong or just complicate shit,,lol..
There's no way a bear is stealing a kid to take care of it. If a bear steals a child, its planning on making little Timmy into its next snack EDIT: i have no idea what to believe anymore. Sasquatch, hormonal-mother-mode sow bears???
A:)This Is True! And I Say, This Is True. Because I Saw A Documentary Of It On The 70's Thru The Early 80's Classic Television Series Called "In Search Of" Remember That? With Host Leonard Nimoy? I Even Remember The Name Of The Episode. The Name Of The Episode Was Called "Wild Children" I Believe...
A:)LOL.. I Hear Ya. Yeah, WELL, The Part I'm Having Trouble Believing Is A Bear Picking Up A Child With One Paw And Carrying That Child Away. That's What Gets Me. And That Kind Of Hard To Conceive, You Know What I Mean?
@@TheHomeProjectsYeti , what part is magical thinking? Have you read the others who commented .... my response is no different from theirs and those who experienced like the many children written about here, how do you describe them?
@@TheHomeProjectsYeti I've never taken the kind of pills you might be thinking of (or drugs); what makes me have anxiety in relation to this video .... are/do others who made similar comments have anxiety? -- can you answer that? I still don't understand your "anxiety and magical thinking".
It is truly incredible. Thank you for putting together the evidence so elegantly. You really bring everything together very well and make really entertaining videos .
Growing up on a farm, I don't understand why it is so difficult to accept maternal instinct. I have a very difficult time seeing a 400lb sow attacking a 4 yo. Likewise, cows. My brother was lost in 1982, aged 3. My mother was frantic bc we lived in the country, where could he possibly be if not at home. He decided to walk barefoot in a diaper to see grandma. The only reason we found him was bc the cows in the pasture had all gathered in a semi circle in front of him and we stopped to see what they were doing.. he was stuck, in the muddy creek bottom,, afraid to go forward or backwards.
So glad I found you mate. You work hard in researching your content, and your illustrations are amazing. You deserve the success you are getting... brilliant! 👍
It was sasquatches. Bears don't make shelters. Also the "hopping away on three legs" thing could be explained by a sasquatch running on all fours while having one arm carrying the child.
@@j.khuster2024 I was referring to the commenter saying it was Sasquatches. I’ve never seen, nor heard, of a Sasquatch walking on three legs, or four. Have you? That was why I commented, why not use two legs (if it was a Sasquatch).
I’m glad for the last part of the video because that theory was on my mind from hearing about the very first story. Great channel! All you need is some creepy background music to real set the mood. 👍🏾
I’ve seen an interview with one of the missing 411 kids that came back. They found him “miles” away face down on like a hill. He’s an adult now and says he doesn’t remember anything. I think he was like 3.
A Bear would have to use its mouth, if there’s no scratches or signs of teeth marks then that means they were carried off with hands which means SASQUATCH 💯
Maybe the mother has strong mothering hormones. I mean it’s no different than a mother cat raising puppies or a mother dog raising kittens. There is a video of a mother cat who nurtured three ducklings (now grown up ducks) and gave birth to three kittens.
Why, oh why do people continue to discredit sightings of strange creatures simply because they have never personally encountered them? And then to ridicule those who have? Worldwide encounters with huge bipedal, hairy, smelly creatures should dispel any doubt that Bigfoot has a universal distribution. What, do the ridiculers really think that there is some global conspiracy between everyone who has ever had an encounter or sighting? And how often those who have done have never before heard of such a beast? No photographs? Yeah, I’m sure this elusive creature will quietly come out and pose for your camera! They are more elusive than a deer in the forest. At night, they can see you, you can’t see them.
I really like the illustration of the boy on the bear’s back at 1:30. I know they’re extremely dangerous and would never approach one, but I can’t help seeing a big dog when I look at them
Bigfoot‘s are the only animal that really existed that people act like they never existed and are just a myth The scientific name for atleast one species of Sasquatch is Gigantopithecus An animal that actually existed at one time and there are countless species of other Bigfoot’s that were known to exist thousands of years ago but people still refuse to admit they could still exist or atleast distant relatives of them when there was a fish discovered in the late 30s or early 40s that was thought to go extinct with the dinosaurs and the gorilla was thought to be a myth until the 20s💯
check out the north western Native American origin legends about the great creator under Shasta , his red haired daughter, the first bears , who could talk, and the first humans that were a hybrid result...... maybe it was bears......
Very well done! I like the artwork. For those that think unknown knowledge can never be known, read "Edgar Cassey" by Phillip Kirkpatrick. Also, regarding Katie, according to the account written by David Paulides, it was her hat that was eaten, not her shoe. I personally think if the creature had a snout, it was a female dogman.
The last story's details contradict the details of the same story in missing 411. I'm gonna go w/ that version over this one bc the other one is done by a professional investigator and former detective. I would encourage everyone to go check out Missing 411 if you're not already aware of it. If not for the epic mystery, then for your own safety as well as your loved ones to prevent it happening to you
When I was a baby, my family and I went camping, a black bear went after my mom while she was holding me and she distracted it with a bag of marshmallows.
In the early 1960s I went back home to Indiana and a bunch of them our family went on a picnic. Well one of my three year old cousins came up missing. We searched all afternoon for him but could not find him. The search was called off during the night because of heavy rains that came. The next day he was found standing on the side of the road. They asked him how did you stay dry and warm because it was cold. He said “the big animal took care of me” He was showed pictures of bears and said “no not like that” then he was ask “what did it look like” and he said “like a giant human with hair all over their body”. What do you think it was
I think people underestimate the compassion animals can show. If the bear isn't hungry and doesn't see you as a threat it's not going to attack you. And if you consider it might be a momma bear with out its cubs for what ever reason it could consider a child close enough . Hell I've seen a tiger nurse piglets lol
The earlier period stories, the ones before the 20th century, when the wilderness was still wild and untouched and things deep in the woods weren’t bothered by loud industrial noises and deforestation.
My only question is did these kids ever give descriptions when they were older? I know memory can fade but surely you could never forget a "bear" spending the night with you.
I would imagine a trauma blackout would prevent any kind of recollection.
I always wondered the same thing myself. Not everyone forgets traumatic experiences either, in fact some people wouldn't even call this traumatic just odd.
Although I doubt most people who had something like this happen would actually share the experience with anyone other than close friends or family.
I seriously think these children were taken by Big Foot female's whose harmonies were stressing maternal feelings.
Most ppl don't really start developing long term memory until they're a bit older, like 9-10yrs old.
Those kids literally went to where the wild things are.
@Pete No u ;)
Book
Believe it or not, it's real!
I love this comment!
Lol yep
It’s not uncommon for animals to mistake the cries of human children for the cries of their own young, and seek to protect and nurture them. There is a story of a young girl in Africa being kidnapped and her kidnapper/s being mauled to death by an entire pride of lions. When a search team went to look for her they found her protected by a circle of lions, and it’s theorized that her cries sounded like a hurt cub to the lions and that’s why they wanted to protect her.
There are also stories of animals taking in and raising animals that are not the same species, either because they are grieving from having lost their young or because they simply mistook that animal for one of their own and brought it into their litter. It’s not like I don’t believe in Sasquatch but I’m just saying it’s not unheard of for animals to randomly care for each other and for humans.
Interesting
But making shelters, and picking berries... Thats quite hard to imagine that an animal could do that..... Would be a revolutionary behaviour for a bear to built an actual shelter. Actually never witnessed
@@oreziopancrazio3685 kids are also know to exaggerate though, and there is only one case where it was mentioned that the animal picked berries. Bears are known to eat berries so it’s entirely possible they were near some or just happened to have some that wound up on the ground near where they slept. In a child’s mind that can easily equate to, “Oh look the nice bear picked them for me!” If all cases spoke to this I’d be less inclined to dismiss that piece, but it was only one kid so I’d say that can be safely thrown out as a child’s hyperbole for the sake of objectivity.
The shelters are also easily explained as pre existing constructs. I do some SAR and am an avid backpacker, and I’ve seen animals many times take advantage of shelters humans made and left behind while on backpacking adventures or on a hike. It’s possible that they simply sought shelter in things already made.
100% agree with you here. Some of the “weird” things mentioned in the stories are easily explainable.

I’d love to “believe” and quite want to, but not at the expense of throwing out objective facts.
@@firefawnakl yeah, could be very likely the only explanation possible.
There is footage of a small child falling into a gorilla enclosure at a zoo. The big male gorilla became aggressive and the female gorilla went over to protect the child from the male. The mothering instinct is something to behold.
Thankfully she stepped in.
Rip Harambe
Bear or Sasquatch, I would imagine these are cases of grieving mothers who lost their cubs and saw a small thing that obviously needed to be nurtured in order to survive, thus taking them and caring for them for a few days before “coming back to their senses” and leaving the child behind. Quite sad if you think about it that way
Bigfoot
There is absolutely no evidence to support this claim. It is highly unlikely that a mother bear would exhibit maternal instincts towards a human child. Bears generally avoid close proximity to humans, let alone take a child for several days before suddenly deciding to return it. The entire scenario is implausible.
Back in the 1970s when I was a kid, I knew a kid who was half Choctaw. His grandfather, who was full Native American, told us that when he was a small child, his little cousin was taken. And that she lived with the People of the Hills, Swamps, and Woods. Just though it was a "cool" story until I came across this video. I have 4 daughters of my own. None of them are small children anymore. But I can't imagine losing one.
@Daniel Rodriguez Interesting.
@Daniel Rodriguez The 'metallic' thing is a puzzle.
@Daniel Rodriguez Wild.
Interesting, but makes me think of a horror movie kinda.
"People of the Hills" is exactly what the Irish otherworldly people were known as in mythology and folklore. Someties I get weirded out by the parallels between those stories and these. They were also believed to steal children, and others, favoring boys over girls, were believed to be able to control at least some weather phenomena, and overall just parallel these stories in so many ways. I don't know if it's just people coming up with similar stories to deal with the same phenomena of disappearing people, but it freaks me out how recognisable some of these narratives are.
In the past, various Native American tribes had warned their kids about being carried off by a Sasquatch type creature. As much as we may be in disbelief by this, there may be something to it.
Australia too
People of my tribe call them "Hairy man", they've gone into the village before. Scary.
not only native american tribes -USA-, in the south of latam in the amazonia the people who live in isolated tribe tell about the mountain men, big men with much hair who protect the mountain, the aparience is more similar to a ape
@@sheldonedmund4914 yes. Many stories of the yowie. There’s a UA-cam channel, which is a call in show, where people share their encounters and there are a lot a lot! Very interesting hearing the anecdotes first hand too.
Could be wouldn't doubt it
Their is no person alive that knows all The secrets this planet has . To think otherwise is pure vanity.
I was a huge skeptic until a camping trip i went on 6 years ago. I don't know what i encountered that night but it imitated human speech and it took a bullet from a .357 and got back up and took off. People have told me that it might of been a skinwalker all i know is we truly don't really know what is out there.
I don’t know why it’s so unbelievable to people that their could be other human like species....look at apes, or what use to be Neanderthals. Who would have thought dinosaurs roamed this very earth....had there been no fossils? I think it’s more unbelievable that there are species, who create skyscrapers, bridges, airplanes, ships, cars, televisions, phones, explore space, ect.....if is hard to believe that any species exist, it’s human beings👌
@@coloradorocky1298
They don't believe because of their fear.
Same with religion; they need it because they are fear nothing happens after they died and because they can't assume their own acts.
Yep
Also it takes the fun out of life
When I was 4 I wondered off from our camp fire near dusk. Once I realised I was lost, I started to get scared. Next thing I know, a huge hairy hand took my hand and walked me to the edge of the trees. There was our fire and my family. I was so happy to see them, I almost forgot about my friend. I turned to thank him, and all I saw was a dark mass of hair disappearing behind a tree. This was in the Nez Perce forest, in 1975. I've had many experiences over my 50 years on this earth with creatures like this. I've always called them the Watchers. I don't know if these are what helped me. It's all very intriguing, and just when humans think we've solved all the mysteries, Ma Nature shows us otherwise.

@@wesleybeare1763
I can't stop laughing 😆 🤣 😂
I'd be very concerned if you have memories of big hairy hands randomly touching you.
A nurturing bear is one who either had cubs or lost them to disease . Wolves act the same when maternal hormones are in full sway . I had a cat that raised a duckling after several of her kittens had died . She abducted a wood duck and the duck took to her too . The nuturing hormones are strong enough in some animals that they can raise young that they would normally prey upon or vice versa .
I have been told, by the old folks in my family, that there are still mountain people who are wild and do not want to be around today's kind of people. The wild women steal children and sometimes let them go. Sometimes not.
They also lived in medieval Norway.
So these wild women were mistaken for bears?
No shortage of a$$#@\€$ around here apparently.
Why do they steal children?
That was what I was thinking. Bigfoot
Casey Hathaway went missing less than 10 miles from house. My brother-in-law s helped search. He said the searchers were only an arm lengths from each other. The two nights he was missing got down in the teens which is really cold here in eastern NC. After that first night we all knew the toddler had perished in the cold because the afternoon he went missing he only had on a light wind breaker. In addition, where he was found had been thoroughly searched. This is a puzzle to all of us.
I have a theory which might sound crazy but what if it was a spirit of a Coree tribal member who cared for Casey? Or it could be a shapeshifter. In many legends from various Native American tribes bears have strong, familial connections to clans in terms of being ancestors. Who knows maybe it was even a Coree deity. I wished I had a more believable explanation but those are the three theories I have. I don’t know if Casey will be able to remember more due to infantile amnesia so we may never know the truth.
Yep, I could see the helicopter circling from my house.
@@mirandagoldstine8548 your theories are excellent. I really appreciate you sharing them.
I was looking into this case and I found a comment on Reddit from someone who claims to be from New Bern (where Casey is from) and here is what they said:
"My grandmother is lives in New Bern, and people talk. BEAR is the nickname of a mentally challenged man who lives close to Casey's family and knows them well. Bear wants kids but cannot have them. The story currently goes that Bear saw Casey alone outside, invited him over, and kept him the first 2 days. Thursday morning Bear's father found out he had Casey and demanded he return him to the woods. WHY NOT CALL THE COPS?? Well technically Bear kidnapped Casey. So to protect Bear his father told him to set him in the woods. Thursday night he is located 250 yards into the woods. 6 counties of cops combed over 250 ACRES of woods for over 2 days. Nobody heard a thing til Thursday evening. Casey shows ZERO evidence of exposure. Only cuts from the briar patch. He was calm because he spent most of that time with a familiar face. Also, WHY THE F was Casey outside alone with a 4 and 5 year old in an unfenced yard?? CPS needs to investigate that family. Casey's grandmother is currently in jail for murdering her boyfriend. There's a LOT more to this story."
In a separate comment on the same thread, the same Reddit user says this claim is a common theory amongst locals about what actually happened. If there is any truth to this, that would explain a lot about the mystery of Casey saying that he was taken care of by a "bear". Why didn´t authorities looked up the claims of the locals is anyone´s guess - after all, it is still remains to be explained - besides his survival - the lack of evidence to exposure to the elements of a 3 year old who was missing in the woods for almost 3 days.
@@Llyrdriel Thanks. I read a lot of Native American mythology as a kid and teen. I even have a book on various Native American myths I purchased years ago. When I heard about this case I decided to familiarize myself with the indigenous history of the area. That’s how I learned of the Coree. If Casey attracted the attention of a Coree spirit, perhaps even a deity, then that could be how he managed to survive. Also I have read about ghosts who help the living in times of crisis so that’s what made me develop the theories. Unfortunately I don’t think we’ll ever know the full truth. Only Casey and whoever the bear was know the full, absolute truth and with infantile amnesia I don’t think Casey will be able to fully recall all the details.
There’s absolutely strange creatures in the woods. I’ll never forget hanging out with my friend one night near our favorite waterfall and we saw this large creature that looked like a deer but the legs were abnormally long and it sort of resembled a wolf as well. We immediately froze in the car cuz we KNEW that it was not anything we’ve seen before. It was the scariest experience of my life and I never went back to that spot at night.
You may have seen what is called a "Maned wolf" very interesting looking animal that fits the description you provided.
@@pyromaniac034 woahhh I’ve never heard of that; I just looked it up and it’s possible? However, what we saw that night had to be at least 6-7 feet tall. It was HUGE. 😧
@@dannikris3696 woah. That’s no mane wolf. They don’t get that big. Maybe it was a moose that was going through rut or that had recently shed its antlers. Maybe
@@dannikris3696 maybe its a dogman like creature who knows
Where was the location of this waterfall?
7:08 why is everyone assuming that the shelter has been made exclusively within the timespan that the girl was lost? It easily could've been a makeshift camp made by some adults some days/hours back, and the bear just used it as it's own shelter after it has been abandoned.
exactly.
This video reminds me of a book I once read titled Monster, written by Frank Peretti. A work of fiction where a woman is taken by a female sasquatch that had recently and tragically lost its own child. The female creature was so grief stricken that the other sasquatch in her family, about 5 or so, did nothing to interfere and allowed the human to travel with them. It was a gripping story and really made me think. It remains one of my favorites to this day.
PS (I enjoy the artwork that accompanies these videos.)
Wow! Your write up reminds me of the story of Tarzan.
I believe it was sasquatch that took these children. The parents said it was a bear because they didn't want to be labeled crazy.
I heard a child refer to one of these creatures as a Gorilla which i could see the confusion for a young child.
Makes you wonder just how often this stuff gets misreported.
Also possible a really young kid might say it was a bear because they don't know any other similar animals? In at least one story the kid said gorilla, which makes sense if they just have a slightly larger vocabulary, they can be describing the same unknown creatures.
I mean the bear made a shelter? Sasquatch. Probably a female. The grandfather says he saw what he believed to be a bear. Who knows tho. Sasquatch definitely account for some of these but maybe bears do this from time to time as well. Seems unlikely tho. Especially if the bears are 'abducting' kids instead of coming across them stranded.
Idk, some Sasquatch have been reported telling people that it's not them taking their kids, that something is taken the Sasquatch children as well!
Theres another story from Michigan, a child said she was taken by a big wolf and it ate her hat, when her family found her, they saw a large creature running away from her
I remember that one!!
Yeah that's the one in Walhalla Michigan
@@Bob-ln1jh yeah, both stories are similar, in one the dogman eats the kids hat, in the other one it eats the kids shoe, but other than that detail the stories are almost exactly the same
It makes me wonder if it's the same story, but names and places have been mixed up. The stories are way to similar to be seperate events.
Dogman
In our tribes we have a story of a boy who wondered off and was raised by a bear. When he became a man he found his way back to the tribe. He even fell in love for a short time. The girl got pregnant, but he was unhappy and returned to the bear. The son that was born was given the name bear. The tribe called themselves bear clan and eventually that family’s last name became bear and is still bear today.
And that's how Bear Grylls was born
I heard of a similar story only it involved a redheaded woman and a bear. I forgot which nation that tale came from but apparently that nation considered bears to be their ancestors. I’ll have to find my book of Native American myths and legends and look for it.
We once went camping at a creek that was surrounded by woods. We camped in a small clearing by the creek, we had an 8 month old son that was asleep in a childs play pen that I covered the top of with netting to keep the mosquitoes off. I never believed in a big foot type creatures, thought it was just a myth. But of coarse I had been going to the rest room all night not to far away from my son who was sleeping in the play pen so I could keep an eye on him as I did so. The area where we had the car parked was a good ways away from where we were camping because the woods were so thick that you couldnt get there by car. So we were sitting up by the water doing some night fishing and my husband had to go up to the car for something he needed so he took the pistol that we had with him to walk to the car because he had to go thru the woods to get there and I stayed at camp with my son. I had to go to the restroom so I went in my normal place at the edge of the woods so I could keep an eye on my son. There was a steep cliff that was about 10 foot high right behind a row of trees and as I squatted there I was facing that cliff, we had a lantern hanging on a tree branch right by the play pen that my son was sleeping in pointed towards the trees and the ciff. And I noticed some big eyes starring right at me and at first I thought it was an owl or something in the trees but before I could get up and pull my pants up a big creature with blonde curly hair was standing there on two legs walking towards me, I was scared shitless because I didnt know what it was. You know that old saying that you were so scared that the hair stood up on your arms, I was that scared and my first instinct was to run but I couldnt because my son was there in the play pen asleep, so I started screaming but that thing just kept walking straight at me by this time it was about 20 feet away, I had backed up as far as I could to the edge of the water right by the play pen. It didnt seem to be in a hurry to get to me, it was just walking. So when it got about 15 feet from me I drew in as much breath as I could and screamed to the top of my lungs and it just stopped and turned and walked away. Needless to say I now believe that there is something out there that us humans dont really know about. We did not camp that night, we packed up our stuff and went home! I asked around and talked to numerous people and went to the library and did research just trying to find something, anything that looked like what I saw that night, but everyone that I told just thought I was crazy! I never found any description or anyone else that had seen or reported seeing that creature. Years later we moved next door to an elderly couple that had grown up in the area and used to go night fishing in the area we were in that night and they told me that one night while they were fishing off the tail gate of their pickup at a creek about 2 miles from where we camped that night, they saw something like that walking up the creek and it scared them so bad that they jumped in the truck and left. They said it had light brown curly hair! A couple of years after there was a murder of a young man that was camping in that same area. He was found in his tent that had been shredded by what looked like claw marks and they said what ever attacked him had shredded his skin and ate out his insides and left the rest.
Damn.. glad you guys were ok! I believe you. Sucks though, that you didn't have any time to pull up your pants! 😂 Just screaming in terror at this thing walking towards you and your pants are just round your ankles!
I don't mean to make light, but 🤷🏻♂️.. sorry, can't help it. I'm quite sure that was the least of your worries at the time. I hope your husband believed you, at least!
David Paulides once mentioned a case when a girl went missing while picking berries. She was eventually found, and her hat was missing. She had a strange story about being with a giant wolf, and the wolf ate her hat. It seems like a similar story to these "bear" encounters with children. Maybe whatever entity is taking these kids has the ability to shape shift.
Thought so too. If it’s a shapeshifter it could easily disguise itself and no evidence would ever be found except if someone manages to catch it shapeshifting on video
l think so too.
Dogmen are cryptids that resemble werewolves. It's possible that these kids are being taken by dogmen or maybe Sasquatch
Paulides is a quack. So so so so many of his cases were solved and he just straight up lied.
@@angelcitystudio Name some of them. I'm sure he would admit it himself if any of the cases he has mentioned were solved. You're just a troll who specifically doesn't like David Paulides, for your own twisted personal reasons.

Dogman attack people on sight, Bigfoot don't.
Not dogman, but probably some other creature like some of the shape shifting variety in Native American legends.
Believe me, Dogman either kill or chase people.
There is another well documented and often sighted creature called a Dogman. It's a creature that's described as a werewolf like beast that can run on two or four legs and in some encounters, looks somewhat bear like. It might explain the paw prints that made the searchers think they were tracking a bear, since Sasquatch has more human looking feet, just much larger. Dogmen are considered by researchers to have human level intelligence and there have been descriptions of dens made out of large tree branches piled in an almost teepee like manner. Most Dogman encounters often entail, the beast chasing humans out of it's territory, but it's possible that they might have a different attitude towards small children. After all, there are documented cases of actual wolves nurturing babies and toddlers, even a few rare cases of people having actually been raised by wolves.
Glad you brought this up. To those interested in hearing more about the dogman phenomenon, please checkout The Dogman Encounters channel.
Yes, more than a couple of the stories on the Dogman Encounters YT channel are from women talking about their experiences when they were children with "Dogman". One specifically, she was "friends" with until puberty, another recount (completely different woman), she was abducted and taken to their "den" (it wasn't a den thought, it was just in the woods).
Dude, dogman isnt real, lol. Bigfoot atleast makes sense from a evolutionary point, but man-dog people?
Come on, bro.
@@peste2574 there are many accounts of Dog people. You have access to it all through google but google isn’t the source.
@@peste2574 the name is misleading, most accounts just state a large canine like creature that can stand bipedally and in many instances people note a distinct popping noise when they stand. Tbh they need a different title, maybe Bray Road Beasts or something.
I had a bear creep up on me in Quantico VA a few months ago. He was about 5 feet away from me before I heard him; and the only reason I heard him is because I think it yawned. I never heard his footsteps. I was freaked out and ran but was amazed and how silent the steps were. I must have scared the bear off too because it ran away.
I have had a few encounters with black bears while living and camping in northern Manitoba. It's amazing how an animal that big can almost be on top of you before you see it, and as quiet as a mouse!

This first story was covered on the local news and the details about the boy saying a bear took care of him never made it into the national news reports. The temperatures dropped down to freezing but the boy was unharmed, I thought of Missing 411 right away. It’s a stranger world than most think.
I remember being young enough to be crawling around in my house. I can still draw a layout of the house, my mother and siblings have corroborated that the layout is correct. We moved from that house when I was 2 . So yes some people can remember things from that long ago.

People are just unwilling to believe that an animal such as a bear is capable of compassion because most people are incapable of such compassion themselves.....
It would be ignorant to believe that animals are not capable of compassion, you're right. But picking up the child with its forearm and running off, and handing berries to the child sounds more typical of a primate showing care than a bear, which would relies on its teeth to do things its forepaws just aren't dextrous enough to do.
Humans are despicable creatures.
yeah!
I'm gonna tell this story: I went to Hurricane Ridge (Washington State) way back in 2015. On my way up the 17 mile road that leads up to it, I spotted some very deep depressions in the snow leading from the road up a mountain between some pine trees. I pulled over and looked closely at them, and also took photos and a video (which I can link to for anyone who is interested) and they looked like giant bare footprints (bare not bear). Shortly after, I was on my way back down from the trail as it had started getting a little too treacherous, and I had already slipped and fallen once. The higher up I got, the less visible the trail became and the deeper the snow. On my way down, I kept stopping to record video of the tree line up and down the mountain, as I kept having a sensation like I was being watched. Sure enough, a few minutes later, my eye caught movement about 2000 yards straight down the mountain off the trail I was descending. When I focused on what it was, suddenly a GIANT black bear came into view: lumbering slowly towards a group of trees that were just past the clearing it was crossing, which made it visible. I took a video of it with my Nikon super zoom camera (also have those photos and the video) and was pumped to have finally seen a bear in the wild and not stuck in a zoo. An older couple happened upon where I was standing near the trail, and I told them I had just recorded a bear. They were surprised and I offered to show them the video. I tried to turn on my camera but it wouldn't turn on. Pressed the power button several times, but my camera was broken. I pointed to where the bear was, and they were able to barely see it. They continued on their way, and just as they got out of my line of sight, all of a sudden, my camera started working again. Something prevented my camera from turning on until the other people had left. I was left with a strange feeling that somehow I had actually recorded Sasquatch instead, but that it had changed it's physical appearance to that of a bear. I know, I know, it's ridiculous; but at the time it seemed all too possible.
Yep. Sounds preposterous.
@@wms72 The only thing I can say for certain was that my camera was brand new, had never not turned on before and has never not turned on since. That's what made wonder if something else was happening.

In the missing 411 series there are stories of kids be helped by “men that look like big dogs/bears”. Berries are also a common detail in stories like this
Years ago I witnessed a bear carry two half grown pigs away at once by carrying one pig under each front law and walking away on its hind kegs. My grandfather tried to shoot the bear to save the pigs, but he missed it. I will never forget that sight or the sound of those squealing pigs as the bear carried them across the pasture.
That’s incredible.
The bears are actually big foot, I know of a game warden that was investigating an illiegal camp site, he tripped hit his head and broke his ankle and woke up ontop of his SUV smelling like b.o.

There was a case in the newspaper and on TV news in the early 2000s of a baby being taken from a family Summer camp in the Catskill Mountains in New York State, right off the porch in broad daylight. If I remember correctly, the child survived, but the bear may have been killed. Apparently, this sort of thing really does happen. Bears are fiercely protective of their cubs, so maybe it is a hardwired instinct to protect anyone small or young.

I wish these same children who'd been previously kidnapped/abducted can be found and re-interviewed as adults to give a more accurate and verified picture of what had actually happened to them while they were missing. Sure a lot of them were really young at the time. But some people's earliest memories can stretch as far back as when they were only 2 yrs old. At least that's the case for me and a few other people that I personally know.
It wouldn't help much. Too much would have happened to taint the memories with the misinformation effect.
I watched a documentary where researchers created robot animals that look EXACTLY like the real thing and blend into animal groups. The robots have cameras, so they're able to get video of previously unseen activities. We should do this with robot kids. Leave one in a national or forest, and see what happens.
Just get a trailcam and put a doll nearby.
@@Houshalter Apparently trailcams emit infrared light that bigfoot notice and stay away from.
I my mind a bear might be an easy word to replace big hairy thing I’ve never seen before , bears don’t build shelters that good, on top of that I don’t think a bear even if it wanted to take care of a child could move one without messy up the child’s clothes to some degree . These kids were taken by something with hands . It’s a shame the forest service and government has to keep lying to us
just because they are found in a shelter, it does not mean the bear or child built it. the animal could have found the shelter and been using it for some time..
@@willh1655 exactly
I have never admitted this to anyone before in my life ,but as I get older (wrong side of 50) and hear more & more of these stories , I do believe that a being , be it Sasquatch or whatever , something interdimentional and intelligent is responsible.

@@shaunw9270 bro i cant diss agree with you bc who knows😬
While it's incredibly unlikely, large, predatory mammals will sometimes adopt juveniles members of a prey species to replace a lost cub. This phenomenon has been observed in lionesses adopting baby gazelles
That particular lioness most likely had some sort of OCD or PTSD, she would "adopt" these baby hoofstock, but would rarely make an effort to actually care for them, she was young, having not had cubs yet. She'd knock them around a bit, lick on them some, carry them around for a few days, but as they got weaker and weaker, she'd either kill them herself or leave them to die and on the few occasions another predator attacked them, she wouldn't do anything to defend them and was even seen feeding on one of the calves alongside a male lion. When she did have cubs, she exhibited some of the same behaviors, caring for the cubs for a few days before seemingly growing bored of them and abandoning them.
So yeah, don't believe everything news articles or documentaries tell you.
@@blobbertmcblob4888 everything you said about the lion being a bad stepmom is true. My point is that if a lion can kidnap a gazelle on a whim and play house with it for a few days, then it stands to reason that a bear can kidnap and temporarily care for a lost child. Maybe bears can have OCD or PTSD too🤷♂️ they're intelligent animals with complex emotions so who knows!
@@blobbertmcblob4888 Makes me wonder if she didn't have some sort of brain tumor or malformation. Millions of years of mothering instinct butting heads with miswired brain circuitry.
These are cryptic creatures, not physical animals.
Yep, and one lioness was notorious for adopting several baby gazelles or zebras. She had probably extremely strong maternal instincts.
A bear is the closest thing a child could compare sasquatch to, or other giant hairy wild men of the woods and mountains. It's a very common trope. Dennis Martin was another such case of this nature, but he unfortunately has never been found.
My uncle looks like sasquatch and he's taken lots of kids .
Who's Dennis Martin 🫣....a bear 🐻 🐻❄ man
@@jimmyjames3819
Dennis Martin was a child who mysteriously went missing during a family outing in the Great Smoky Mountains in NC, I believe.
If you haven’t looked it up, then you should. You won’t regret it. It’s a very interesting story!
Dennis's story is really sad and worth a cautionary tale to any parents and kids who go out as a group into the woods. The photos of Dennis resemble my son and the old childhood pictures of my husband from that age, which makes that story all the more close to home for me. I feel that the family probably trusted the older kids to keep an eye on him a bit more than they should have, but obviously I wasn't there so all I have to go on is what channels like this have to tell.
What I can say, is that once when I visited a zoo not far from my house, I was very surprised to see a quiet brown bear in her pond catching apples with one of her paws and bring them to his jaw to perfectly cut them in half to eat them in several batches. It was amazing and funny to watch.
Sasquatch are known to be higher dimensional beings that are much more kind than given credit.
Sure
Portals......
"Known"
True
That's all nonsense dude, spouted by the radicals that think Sasquatch is some sort of alien or spirit being lol.
I'm still mystified by the Dennis Martin Case. I believe something took him... something supernatural.
I am right there with you Brother, something took him. I live close to the Smokys and there are other non-published incidents of missing people there.
I believe a sasquatch took Dennis.
Like bigfoot.
It could've been a sasquatch, but there are also reports in the Smokies of what are known as "wildmen", or basically feral people. I think it's quite possible that this is what snatched little Dennis. I think these are probably like sasquatches, but just smaller, closer to the size of a regular human. Also, there have even been reports of local game wardens being attacked by these things. Finally, wth were the Green Berets doing there?!?!
Agree 👍
At this point in time our advanced consciousness lets us know those are not bears 🐻 but the forest people and usually it’s juveniles or females.
So many areas that are remote and unexplored.
I think animals can sense more than we know. They can sense the purity of a child's spirit.
Who does the illustrations for your videos? Because they’re really good.
To find your child is missing and then to be then later found must be an emotional overload.
Its always good to keep an open mind when dealing with somethings we cant explain
Maybe it was the child's guardian angel taking the form of something that would be less scary to the child and could keep the child warm?
Agreed. Sadly tons of belivers in Bigfoot don't have open minds. To them, it HAS to exist. Any reasonable explanation is thrown out in favour of Sasquatches
Yeh it's always good to keep an open mind. But not so open that your brains fall out.
There is no shame in ‘maybe’
I like the drawing of the child holding the Bigfoot's hand.
You misspelled Bear.
It’s a bear.
Solid comment bro.
Like David Paulides says there's nearly always bad / rapid weather ☁️ changes
just before or in & around thes anomalous events there's points, of m⁴
Of separation, of strange Phenomena & OTHER odd occur]
I was a part of the volunteer group to search for Casey. The whole situation was very wierd from the start and everyone I talked to from our community suspected some sort of foul play. There is still alot of unanswered questions and details.
There is a video on UA-cam that is based on a written account by a soldier who was wounded and lost in the woods after the battle of Shiloh in West Tennessee. He was cared for by creatures matching the description of Bigfoot.
Why is there always horrific weather after someone goes missing...just to screw up any way of finding them!? It's a blizzard, 🌪️ monsoon, earthquakes...just insane cases really.
Stop listening to David Paulides cherry picked lies. He's totally full of you know what.
Interesting factoid: if you look up Radagast Brown’s comments on this channel, you will find that 100% of them are related to speaking negatively about David Paulides, and the Missing 411 book series.
Regarding your statement about there always being horrific weather patterns related to these cases … keep in mind that not all of the missing persons cases covered on this channel, or in the Missing 411 books, are followed by extreme weather patterns. However, David Paulides did discover that a number of anomalous cases do include severe weather patterns either just as or just after the persons went missing, or just as searches were being organized.
The weather patterns themselves could contribute to why people may have gone missing, or were never found, but are not in themselves a cause to explain the phenomenon, as correlation is not the same as causality. The cases presented in Missing 411 some may call “cherry picked”. The reality is that there are so many missing persons cases (hundreds of thousands) in these clusters, that just the nature or cataloguing them, investigating them, and writing about them, means that only specific cases can be highlighted. David Paulides highlights cases he has noticed thru his research, and via the CanAmProject database he must invariably be building, to contain specific standout anomalies, such as extreme weather patterns. Therefore, a true picture of the statistics related to these anomalies can be uncovered over time.
I think this is a case of correlation and not causation. It all depends on what type of climate you live in. And in an area of America where rain or snow is frequent and inevitable means decreasing the chance of finding the missing person, and increase thd chances of a person going missing to begin with. But there is no direct causal link between missing persons and bad weather.
If you think about it logically it makes sense. Bad weather inhibits searching which decreases the chances of the person being found. Therefore they end up a well known "missing person" that we hear about in documentaries etc. So naturally, there are going to be more cases of missing persons involving bad weather. And so we assume a causation between the missing and the bad weather. The missing person doesn't cause the bad weather, the bad weather contributes the missing person. (To say it in a simple way.) But not always.
Case and point: plenty of people go missing and are never found despite constant good weather that is ideal for search parties. And people have been found even during bad weather, rain and snow.
In short: it rains and snows in certain places. This inhibits searches. Which decrease the likelihood of being found. So therefore there will be more cases involving bad weather and missing people. No mystery. Nothing supernatural. Just simple, logical stuff.
@@the_mighty_bearcat you explained this much more succinctly than my post. Thanks.
Has any of these kids been shown a picture of a Bigfoot?? Perhaps these kids would recognize the Bigfoot as the "bear" that took care of them...
Perhaps. That would also explain the building capabilities as well as the intellect in keeping the small kids safe from the elements. However the foot prints that searchers saw where supposedly of bear. They might have been distorted so they might have been those of a Sasquatch
I've often wondered what some of these kids would say or describe if Hypnotized when they were older.
They were probably taken by friendly lady Bigfeet.
Some Bigfoot's are bad, some are good. Just like us.
Yup ... some stories i heard from buckeye bigfoot and dixie cryptid YT channels .. mention of good ones fighting off bad ones to protect humans. Some good ones have generational relationships with humans who were generous to them
I do believe these humanoid creatures exist. Too many people have described encounters with these creatures. I also believe that they are studied extensively by government agencies.
I am bewildered as to why the clothing and shoes seem to always be taken off or missing!
I'm very impressed with your investigative prowess!
Our clothes stink, plain and simple. Shoes especially, must reek to most animals. I always try to explain it this way, many reports people say the stench is like sulfer from Sasquatch. We smell like that to them.
I believe all of this..animals are simple creatures, but they understand things like young creatures needing help...totally believable to me.
It happens a lot even with non human youngsters like a lion playing with a baby deer, but nothing to the extent of taking care of them like these stories in the video.
Some type of hairy humanoid like a bigfoot makes more sense to me.
I was waiting for us to talk about skin walkers, and we jumped straight to Big Foot. Lol.

They said it was a bear cause that’s all they could assume it was cause they never seen or herd of a bf and thought it was to be something like a bear cause it seen the back of it and seen it holding a person
@Pete okay and...? What's that supposed to mean?
I dont think sasquatch would leave bear tracks. Also there are also long standing tales of creatures that take children. Shape shifters and forest guardians that have soft spots for the extreamly young human children. Many were even "given" unwanted children in old stories.
Kids probably mistaken Bigfoot for a bear.
Nobody took these children’s clothes and had them analyzed to see if it was bears. Was there any smell? The older stories l can understand but what about these later stories?
Or search the area where the kid was found for hair and take it to a lab. They should really do that especially in the cases where the kids were found in a shelter then they would find some DNA evidence for sure
It's not bears. Think about it. That's just what people say to avoid being called crazy, and the closest looking thing that kids know of to refer to when describing what took them.

Why, oh why do people continue to discredit sightings of strange creatures simply because they have never personally encountered them? And then to ridicule those who have? Worldwide encounters with huge bipedal, hairy, smelly creatures should dispel any doubt that Bigfoot has a universal distribution. What, do the ridiculers really think that there is some global conspiracy between everyone who has ever had an encounter or sighting? And how often those who have done have never before heard of such a beast? No photographs? Yeah, I’m sure this elusive creature will quietly come out and pose for your camera! They are more elusive than a deer in the forest. At night, they can see you, you can’t see them.
I really like the illustration of the boy on the bear’s back at 1:30. I know they’re extremely dangerous and would never approach one, but I can’t help seeing a big dog when I look at them
Bigfoot‘s are the only animal that really existed that people act like they never existed and are just a myth The scientific name for atleast one species of Sasquatch is Gigantopithecus An animal that actually existed at one time and there are countless species of other Bigfoot’s that were known to exist thousands of years ago but people still refuse to admit they could still exist or atleast distant relatives of them when there was a fish discovered in the late 30s or early 40s that was thought to go extinct with the dinosaurs and the gorilla was thought to be a myth until the 20s💯

Very well done! I like the artwork. For those that think unknown knowledge can never be known, read "Edgar Cassey" by Phillip Kirkpatrick. Also, regarding Katie, according to the account written by David Paulides, it was her hat that was eaten, not her shoe. I personally think if the creature had a snout, it was a female dogman.
The last story's details contradict the details of the same story in missing 411. I'm gonna go w/ that version over this one bc the other one is done by a professional investigator and former detective.

When I was a baby, my family and I went camping, a black bear went after my mom while she was holding me and she distracted it with a bag of marshmallows.
wow! i’m glad you are alive to tell about it! you have a brave and loving Mother!
I live near walhalla and never heard this story about katie. You are always getting rare stories. Your channel and the work you do are fantastic!👍👍
In the early 1960s I went back home to Indiana and a bunch of them our family went on a picnic. Well one of my three year old cousins came up missing. We searched all afternoon for him but could not find him. The search was called off during the night because of heavy rains that came. The next day he was found standing on the side of the road. They asked him how did you stay dry and warm because it was cold. He said “the big animal took care of me” He was showed pictures of bears and said “no not like that” then he was ask “what did it look like” and he said “like a giant human with hair all over their body”.
What do you think it was
I believe it's sasquatch who took care of those kids.
In the last story it was said that her footprints merged with large bear prints. Could it be a sasquatch saved her from a bear and then cared for her?
I think people underestimate the compassion animals can show. If the bear isn't hungry and doesn't see you as a threat it's not going to attack you. And if you consider it might be a momma bear with out its cubs for what ever reason it could consider a child close enough . Hell I've seen a tiger nurse piglets lol
The earlier period stories, the ones before the 20th century, when the wilderness was still wild and untouched and things deep in the woods weren’t bothered by loud industrial noises and deforestation.
The air brushing that the Artist does.. Is unbelievable!! 🦅
