Those are super cool. I've been tired of regular wallets for a long time now. I think I'm going to order a couple of these, one for me, the other for a Christmas present.
This channel is the best because he doesn’t talk about the same 5 disappearance cases every other channel talks about, actually finds creepy and obscure stuff
More than anything, what all these "missing children found far away" stories make me think is that people vastly underestimate the possible feats of children, especially when scared and motivated.
Exactly. They have the same cellular mechanisms adults do for propelling their bodies, but are usually 3x-5x lighter. Imagine how much energy you'd have if you only weighed 50 lbs!
It's one thing if it is relatively easy terrain. Then yes, kids can clear insane distances. However if it is a densely wooded, rocky or other wise dangerous environment and they somehow travel 25-50 miles in a day or two and are found in near perfect condition with no signs they were even lost... yeah that warrants a non standard explanation.
That story about the little girl that saw the sun shining for two days really struck me. My sister and I grew up in a house with a lot of woods nearby. I remember seeing a little store out in the woods and would see people going there. But for some reason,my sister and I could never get to the store. And no matter the weather,the sun shone in the woods. I'd think about it every so often and figured maybe I imagined it? A few years ago I mentioned it to my sister and she has the same memories too! I told her I thought I made that up. She was very insistent that there WAS a store in the woods that we weren't allowed to go to. Anyway, the parallel about the sun shining all the time is interesting. Also, this is in the Pacific northwest,so we get a lot of rain here. So we weren't in a sunny all the time place like Arizona.
yes I have a shared unusual memory with a sibling , can see it clear as day still . I do not believe it was a shared dream , the images are still VERY clear
What do you mean you "couldn't go inside"? I've heard of other stories where people found a house or something in the woods but there wasn't anything when they returned. And locals/ authorities say that none is there. Never sure what to make of the stories. 🤔 Like the one where a boy & a man went missing mere weeks apart in the same area (want to say Roan Mntn. but not certain) & both reported spending time in a cabin while lost. But rangers & green berets that were called in to look for the boy said there was no such cabin where they'd claimed. And authorities kept insisting they were wrong even tho both said it mere weeks apart. The man was found by hikers nude, wrapped in a shower curtain he said he got at the cabin "rambling incoherently". And the boy said he spent time in the cabin with his grandfather - whom he knew to be deceased. Said he "fed him eggs" for breakfast." At one point when he was outside of the cabin, he said he saw his mother & tried calling out to her "so he didn't get more lost" [People wonder what he meant by that if he was staying at the cabin, how could he get MORE lost?] but she couldnt hear him. Did you ever research the area? Maybe you could determine what it was - or perhaps WHEN?... Or if others had experiences in the area similar or different to yours? Did it look old or modern? Did it really appear to belong there or was it out of place? 🕵 Also heard a story of a girl that was 3yo sitting in the treeline of her property near a creek/ river just watching the day. It was sunny the whole time - "or some other bright light"[?- did she say that just to appease because they didn't believe her so she tried rationalizing it somehow?]. But was gone like 17days or something & she thought it mere minutes/ an hour/ so. They searched that area extensively fearing she'd gone into the water. She never noticed them & they never saw her till she got up & went back home like any other day. These stories are so perplexing! Thanks for sharing and would love any more insight you could provide!
I was living in the forest with my family, about 30 miles south of the Grand Canyon, in a sparsely populated subdivision on a 5 acre lot. Weird things happened there. Me and my little brother and 2 friends from down the road were playing on the property as kids when we realized a young girl, about 7, was standing on the other side of the fence watching us. We knew all the neighbors around us, there were only a few, and we never saw her before. And she's alone and we're in the middle of the forest 13 miles from the nearest town. So we walk up to her and ask what she is doing, and she asks us if we want cookies and milk. We asked where she lives and she pointed at my families house and said it's her grandmas house and that's where the cookies and milk are. We told her that's our house and is she sure she's not lost or something, but she swore it was her grandmas house and was asking how we got on the property and who are we. We told her to walk around to the front of the property and we'll let her in the gate, figuring she is lost and confused. She starts walking through the trees and along the fence line to go around to the front, we were at the back of the property, and we cut through the property to the front gate and open it and wait for her. She never shows up. We walk around the fence line and can't find her. We go around to all the neighbors and ask if they have a 7 year old blonde girl visiting or something that they are missing but no one knew who we were talking about. People started helping us try to find her and they called the sheriffs to ask if a girl is missing anywhere nearby but nothing. No one knew a thing about her and only us kids saw her. We tripped out about that for years.
So like ... who was the previous owner of the property ya stayed at? Was it a old woman who that young girl claimed was her grandmother? Maybe it was her granddaughter’s ghost or spirit
Probably a ripple in space/time. In another dimension, she's telling her side of the story about watching a group of strange kids that just disappeared.
This is easy to figure out. You weren’t sure she was 7, she could have been 6 or 8, so asking about the wrong age would obviously get a negative answer.
While many others would've gladly parroted false information to make a story more interesting, I appreciate that you had the integrity to fact check and call B.S.
I particularly liked that too. Not only did Enigma refuse to include the bit about the flower crown and fur ape and the "hairy people with the sun in their eyes" but he went out of his way to tell the viewers that it was made up by a hoax site.
Former Bennington resident here, my grandfather Deacon St. Clair was a local patrolman involved with this case. Behavior from Queenie during the search suggests someone else was at the very least in close proximity to Louis (watching from a distance perhaps?) aggressive barking directed towards the northwest also occurred shortly after finding the boy. But it was never followed up on by additional volunteers / officers... Its a good thing they got to him in time, someone may have stumbled upon him, waiting for their chance.
Or some perv grabbed him after he wandered off, heard the dog and hid the kid in the brush hoping the dog wouldn't find him, then when Queenie did they cut their losses and made a run for it. Either way that dog was worth every penny the sheriff paid for her
My grandmother’s brother went into town,about a 4 mile walk from home.They lived in a rural area in northern Ontario.He was never seen again.The local police department investigated and believed a wolf pack got him.How they came to that conclusion was never revealed to me.It has been several decades since that event.My grandmother went to her grave wondering what became of her brother.
Another thing missed here, if she was articulate enough to describe “something the size of her cat” she would have known what a rabbit was… these are some of the first animals a child learns and also easy to recognise, hopping about with their big ears
I feel like any case where a child so young miraculously survives even a few days unharmed is interesting enough on its own without insisting upon adding more interesting or paranormal elements. The survival seems interesting enough, and the being found in good health and spirits is nothing short of a miracle with no need for embellishment.
Yeah. I enjoy these sorts of things more as amazing stories of survival. The interesting part to me is that children really can become lost in the wilderness as quickly as they do, be as hard to find as they are, and travel such long distances across difficult terrain. Some may be kidnappings, but there are so many stories of things happening that everyone thought weren't possible that maybe it's just time we do some studies and adjust our ideas of what can happen in these situations. Might save some lives if we're not stuck thinking that a little kid couldn't get very far when clearly sometimes they can.
When I hear stories of children going missing it just rips at my heart. People are just too quick to assume that their children are where they are supposed to be, and they don’t check on them often enough. The statement, “they was just right there” always means the adult lost track of time and the child got away or was taken. Thank you for sharing these stories.
Nobody finds it odd that they assumed that a six year old living in rural Maine didn't know what a rabbit was? Surely she would have seen rabbits many times before on her family's property.
The last story is heartbreaking. A Child leaves behind their Toddler sibling unable to comprehend the dangers. The guilt she must have felt for the rest of her life. It sound like a Predator Feline got her, and brought her up to the perch (Carrying her in its mouth) to eat while able to observe the area of threats, such as other humans.
I'd eat a wild cat alive if it ate my child. Raw. Uncooked. Still alive. I would die with a smile cuz eating uncooked meat would most likely kill me but worth it. I'd wear its hide after an walk my last few moments letting all the other animals know who runs shit. Lol
I like how thorough your research is-that you don’t substitute anecdotal evidence for fact.I subscribed several episodes ago due to these fact based stories.
As someone who plays a necromancer in skyrim i can say with absolute confidence that just because you already searched an area for a dead body and couldn't find one dosen't mean that that's not exactly where it was all along.
Author: “Why would this three year old child remove his clothing, especially as temperatures began to plummet?” Me: “You’ve never had a toddler/young child, have you? You ever tried to keep a child of three dressed in the frozen food aisle of your local supermarket? Played find the shoe/sock/glove/t-shirt, etc. along the grocery aisles?
Hah, I thought that too! He took his clothes off, because he can. Then he didn't put them back on when it got cold, because he couldn't dress himself yet.
Yes! Thank you, was scrolling hoping to find this comment. My kids love to undress even in the middle of winter--when they're outdoors! I think sometimes kids' metabolisms are much higher due to their levels of physical activity (running and playing constantly) and it makes them feel hot when adults are more prone to be slower moving and thus feel the cold more acutely.
Julie, I was thinking very similarly to you, when they questioned why a 3-yr-old would disrobe (but your example made me _giggle so hard I actually _*_snarfled!_* ) I recall being 3 Very Well; 2 weeks after my birth my family moved to _HotAsAllHades,_ MS. When playing in our yard, it was common for my much-older brothers and I to run around shirtless, occasionally running through sprinklers for added relief. I will *_never_* forget that crappy, sticky 👉summer👈 day when our Mom, a buxom lady, called me over to tell me that henceforth I would have to wear a t-shirt with my shorts. Just because I'm a *_girl._* The rebellion and righteous anger that followed is the reason I recall it so well. It seemed terribly unfair, considering my brothers were never given such a sentencing. Mom took me inside our house (which had no A/C and was hotter inside) to attempt to explain the concept that one day I would have _breasts._ I retorted that my chest was flatter than both my brothers. In an _accusatory tone,_ I added that *_my_* chest looked *_nothing_* like *_hers._* "Daughter, you have ... pennies. I can see your pennies; we ladies do not show our pennies." "My brothers have pennies that they show day and night!" *__* "These," she pointed to her chest, "are _nickels._ Your brothers will never grow nickels, but as a girl, someday you will." Just after sundown Dad came home from work, to find Mom cradling her head in her hands. "Hi hon. Seems quiet -- where are the kids?" After relaying the day's events, she added, "The boys are outside, trying to rescue *_your_* daughter. She's shucked off all her clothes then climbed a tree, so now she's over _forty feet off the ground,_ sitting up there in nothing but her panties. Naturally she's now too afraid to climb down, so I sent our eldest up there to get her."
as a toddler, i was far above trying to take my clothes off all the time i was a pretty smart kid back then, and i'd say that me back then is way smarter than i am now i had a lot going for me at 3-6. learned to count to 100, learned how to spell and read rather quickly, dressed myself for the first time way back in preschool, counted to 200 in 1st grade, and wrote a 3 page comic book at 6 with its own plot twist (spoil: the police officer was the protagonist's dad) now, all i got going for me is writing. not that good at math, can't spell for crap despite being a good writer, sleep deprived all the time, overthink way too much, and barely making it through most classes. old me was way more productive and smart
agreed. It would be amazing if they agreed to be hypnotized. The hypnotherapist could then help them walk through the events & what actually happened. It would be a total game-changer to the whole "Missing 411" scenario, I bet. Totally random thought, but - If hypnotherapists can make you remember, imagine if you needed help forgetting something (or someone) as well?! I can think of a few things that I would literally pay right now to get out of my head/heart! No cap
At only 22 months old, I dont imagine her getting far but she was small enough she could have been picked up by any bird of prey. Owls are very good at carrying large things off. This seems a plausible reason for her being found where she was.
@@brendanmarr9048 Today, that is. Food chains and ecosystems faced little to no pressure from human encroachment/development back then. This allowed apex predators to grow significantly bigger/stronger than they do today.
I do think its more likely to be some kind of animal attack, but I doubt it would be birds. Nothing big enough to take off with a child. But mountain lions? Absolutely. They can drag deer up into trees. They can and do attack full grown humans. Babies are absolutely on their menu and getting up that mountain would likely be far easier for a cat than a human.
Sometimes these children seem to be especially protected by unknown elements, it's all very strange. I always wonder what they think when they are older but we seldom hear. Fabulous drawings - I think you draw them don't you - great video, thanks for your immaculate work!
YES my thoughts exactly! I always wonder in each of these cases what they would have to say about it later on in life. It would very interesting to hear. 👍

I remember everything paranormaly weird that I went through as a kid,the weird thing is that I share memories with my brother on one scary subject & he remembers it one way i remember it another.
Maybe the children are spared because many would not believe what the child experienced. We are always quick to claim children have wild imaginations for everything we don't understand.
I've always hoped that whatever it is out there either sees children as innocent or knows they are not to be harmed. I really believe sasquatch is getting a bad wrap an in reality I think they are trying to protect the children and maybe even thee adults with kind souls. Something is going on out there. I mean most these places were declared national parks... that's not sus?
@@peskylogicchillinsky6007Futube just like the human race I imagine there are bad sasquatch out there too. Not to mention all the other creatures our governments continue lying to us about.
@@cokyarpen4980 just a small question but what benefit would the government get out of lying to us about animals? maybe if the animal was from another dimension hellbent on destroying all of humanity and can wreak mass panic into anyone it sees which would definitely cause nationwide panic if publicly talked about, but a sasquatch? the only reason i can think of the government lying to us is to avoid the creature from being hunted to extinction, as humans, even in the 21st century, love doing that

I was raised in Maine,lived there for decades. Hunting, fishing and running around the forests I don't know what Lillian ran into out there in the woods. Many of us know the story of Lillian but don't think it was a Bigfoot,Nor a Bear. My grandmother was Maliseet Indian...no she never called herself native american.. Maliseet Indian. At any rate,She was born in 1914 several years after this story happened However,the story was still talked about for years and the consensus among Many Maliseet was that Lillian had been with 'Gloosklap' or a similar being...not a Bigfoot. Other children had also had similar experiences like Lillian before that. Nope I don't have any testimony I can show you,I can only tell you the stories as they were told to me by my grandmother and her brothers..my great uncles...but take a grain of salt with the stories of 'Gloosklap' my great uncles told me...they just wanted me to stay out of 'Their' favorite hunting spots...and if that meant scaring the hell out of a nephew? It was entertaining for them as well as maintaining secure hunting grounds.
My Mother is part Maliseet as well and from Aroostook county. We heard the same story. Then again, you and I most likely are related. Not a lot of genetic diversity up in the county.
@@lynnpayne9519 my grandmother was actually born in Lubec,Maine near the passamaquody reservation...but I don't know if it was a 'reservation' back when she was born. Her maiden name is Owen.
@@KrinchiD depends on who you are asking. My grandmother said he was a very tall,large man, Just an ordinary man,others say he was a giant,Some say he was a shape shifter
In my Mothers younger years she didnt know night exists, Because she would go to bed while sun was still up and awoke after sunrise.. When she unexpectedly woke up one night.. She thought the world was ending😂😂😂
The midnight sun is a natural phenomenon that occurs during the summer in places south of the Antarctic Circle and north of the Arctic Circle - including Northern Norway. ... Svalbard is the place in Norway where the midnight sun occurs for the longest period. Here, the sun doesn't set between 20 April and 22 August.
I am inclined to believe the "moon as the sun" theory in Lillian's case. I have checked the Moon Giant website for the phase of the moon for August 12, 1897, and it was Full. In the modern world we no longer experience "night" in the way that our ancestors would have done. Masardis, Maine, in 1897 would undoubtedly have been far removed from the light pollution that we experience today. I can attest to this from an experience of a lack of electric light. After Hurricane Katrina, there was no electric light for hundreds of miles around where I live and that very different experience of the night sky was surprising. My home is in a rural area surrounded by some woodland so there was no light from neighbors either. It was too hot in our house so we were compelled to sleep on the floor of the screen porch, and there outside on those apparently completely pitch black nights I was woken up on multiple occasions by bright lights shining: it was the stars. I am still stunned that I could be woken by starlight but it happened, and the moon was dark then. Thus, I cannot discount what Lillian says about the constant quality of light when she was lost in the woods during a Full Moon.
I was in rural Australia, thousands of kilometres from the closest city. Seeing all the stars that I could never see at home (I live in a city) was honestly a bit scary, it felt like they were pressing down on me, like I was in a cooking pot. But they were also gorgeous and I'm glad I got to see something so beautiful and magical.
Ok but this was a time where she probably experienced a similar night just by being at her house. Like she never walked home before under a full moon or was even in the woods for a minute with no light around.
But where is the now iconic sketch of our favourite search dog and handler?! We can't trust the new ones yet, not when old ones have been through so many searches with us! 😉
When I was young I remember large creatures roaming around my friends woods behind her house, we believed there were portals spread around those woods, I don't know where we came up with those ideas but it was all quite real to us
It's called paradoxical undressing and it's often associated with terminal burrowing or "hide and die syndrome". It's a condition roughly half of all fatal and near-fatal cases of hypothermia express. Basically in moderate to severe cases of hypothermia you enter a state of delirium which can include disorientation, hallucinations and confusion. Before death the muscles that constrict your blood vessels to funnel heat to your core give out causing the blood to rush back to the surface. It's like taking a cold shower and then cranking the heat all the way up, you feel like you're on fire. The feeling of extreme overheat in combination with the delirium is thought to be the cause of this behavior. Which would go to explaining why these people are often found naked and large distances away or in strange places in general.
I think I comment on just about all of your videos saying the same thing but I feel i have. To see this channels incredible content and hard work being paid off now with sponsorships and an ever growing subscriber count that will be at 100K in no time truly brings me great happiness for ya brother. You deserve every bit of success and good fortune that comes your way, you’re truly a rare talent with your drawing, narrating, and overall vision to put it all together in a gripping and compelling way not common to other channels on these topics. Lookin forward to more great videos to come man, keep grindin and God Bless!
They couldn’t find her so THEY left to get more help? There is no way I would leave those mountains and forest . I may send his mother or I would personally go one or the other , but no way would we both take off for help . I’m assuming that’s what really happened and that part was lost to history . I can’t imagine parents both leaving their lost child behind to go for help
one thing about the last case that intrigued me was the decapitation. theres no information mentioned about it in this video. not whether they figured out if it happened "before" or after death, what the cause might have been judging by the manner in which the wound separating the head from the neck would be shaped in, and even if it was just an animal messing with her corpse, how the hell did it get the head off and 16 feet away from the body? emma's story is very tragic, and it always is tragic when a case goes unsolved. at the very least they found her, so the parents could get at least some closure.
Bennington, Vermont is in the so called Bennington Triangle, a place noted for strange disappearances. This is the first time I'd heard of someone surviving a disappearance there. Usually, they are never found at all.

You'll almost think they've been abducted by an alien UFO. Or the use of portals. Or unknown creatures with unusual abilities such as the ability to make themselves invisible or move so quickly and so quietly that no one notices. As if the people who did the searches were being watched. And that they waited until they were gone and then placed the body or live person in the spot that was already searched. How else are you going to explain it?
Yes i would agree having studied alien abduction and all that goes with such events , screen memories implanted into the victim so they have little or no real recollection of what went on or where they had been taken, all ages involved not just children and all over the world , quite disturbing .
@@hybrid6692 I think what you describe may be possible. But the subject is very often ridiculed. And you also have people who are deliberately spreading misinformation about certain topics as you can see in this part 4:15.
Two things to say. Firstly, thanks for mentioning that people were quick to blame Gypsies and use them as scapegoats. Antiziganism is still all too common in the world. Secondly, about the girl saying the sun shone brightly in the woods all the time. When I was in high school, I used to make trips in the middle of the night to a gas station nearby my house to buy candy and snacks. It was four blocks away, so I would walk there and back. It happened more than once in the wintertime when there was a lot of snow on the ground that I walked outside to head to the gas station and I noticed that it was inexplicably bright outside. Not quite as bright as it would be during the middle of the day, but it looked a hell of a lot like it might be early morning or early evening. The ambient light around me was far too bright for it to look like it was 1:30 a.m. I took a picture of this phenomenon one time and sent it to the weather channel to ask the meteorologist about it and he replied that it's got something to do with refraction of light caused by differing air temperatures. Apparently cold air refracts light differently than warm air does, and if the air temp is different at ground level than it is a little bit above, it can cause a weird effect where light is bent back towards the surface and it looks really bright.

I just really enjoy this channel, and yes, it still makes my heart skip a beat to get the notification!! Its very obvious how much research you do, not to mention the GORGEOUS illustration. I'm still in awe. You are a class act.
It's kind of maddening when you hear about how these young children describe their strange disappearances but then are never interviewed again once they become adults so that they could give far more detailed explanations as to what had happened to them during the time in between.
Look at the dates. This particular video had dates from 1940s and late 1800s. The children who survived are now dead due to time. They can't be interviewed.
...and the rest are put on medication, or a mental hospital. Most people can't even grasp the concept of a 'higher power,' something even every recovering Alcoholic knows. It threatens people who live in their capricious random Euclidean universe, to think they are not in control. Yet, when we accept that we are not the apex predators, we avail ourselves to a force more powerful than the more powerful demons that are implied it comes with. Kids become aware the authority figures just don't know, and so they repress the memory.
It is very reminiscent of a channel called Bedtime Stories. You might enjoy it too, more diverse topics, but very well done, too. I am pretty sure it's a concidence. Just thought I would share because finding new channels can be difficult.
*First time viewer* Great stories! Well done digging these up and also debunking the false ones. Its very clear you did your homework and studied these accounts in depth. I subbed.
Some people have repressed traumatic experiences only to remember them decades later. Maybe one of the missing can recall under hypnosis what happened to them. In a Mr. Ballen story the toddler said "Cappy Grandma" had him. Thats the only case I can think of where the child explained what they say happened to them, as unbelievable as that story is.
@@DIVISIONINCISION Ballen hasn't chronicled anything untrue or disingenuous, ever. He has been a man of respect & integrity, never crossing the line of misinformation or deepfaking it for clicks/views.

That's what I'm thinking...she had a fever...I remember having a fever as a kid...and I thought there was a bull and a bullfighting in my bedroom...It was so real to this day! Ha!
I used to live in The area of Maryland you are mentioning I can confirm that if you were to go missing in that forest on that park or in any of the adjacent mountains it would be difficult to find you unless you made an insane amount of noise. I used to work for the base that is on one of the mountains in that national park and we would do patrols if you even got maybe 10 feet from someone you would lose them in the trees / brush or behind a hill. That forest is incredibly quiet isolated. Even with the homes in the area- if you got lost good luck. Strange people live there along with minimal cell phone service.
I love the Lillian Carney story. It’s so intriguing to imagine the world through the eyes of a lost six year old. It’s interesting that so many people latched onto this case despite the prosaic explanations the newspaper offered. Was the sun really shining for over 50 consecutive hours? Did Lillian really see little people? Was she possibly seeing what her abductors wanted her to see; if she was abducted at all? It’s a story that gives us permission to entertain the impossible.
I know that times were different back then but even now I often see kids playing with parents no where in sight. Often expecting the slightly older to keep and eye on the younger. I was almost got kidnapped twice when I was in elementary school. Once from walking home when school was out. The second time was when playing in the front yard while mom was cooking. My brother of 4 years older was watching me. At the time I was 6 and he was 10. As a parents, I never let my kids out of my sight.
I really enjoy this channel. Just about everything you cover is interesting and enjoyable, suspenseful and sometimes frightening. Looking forward to many more stories. You are so thorough in your investigations and ask all the right questions. Thanks for all of your hard work !
There is a correlation with berry pickers and strange disappearances. And the answer to this enigma, I believe, is probably more mind blowing then we could even imagine.
Far, little people, evil spirits, duende' take your pick. There's stories strings the world that basically have the same issues just a different name or culprit.
Perhaps the solution is so obvious it gets overlooked. Any parents can tell you how children can sleep in just about any position and any place. They also need more sleep than adults. The little girl probably laid down and fell asleep before the sun set and continued sleeping until sometime after sunrise. This is not an improbable scenario.
I think blueberry or berry pickers go missing because when you take from the Forrest the fae often get upset and you get lost. I hike a trail in a place called devils hopyard in Connecticut for 17 years. Never was lost. I went recently and got so terribly lost. It was like the same trail as always but it was like I walked through a portal and a new forest was created as I got lost. It took me about 5/6 hours to find a way back. And I never found the trail. I came out of the forest onto the road way before the trail head. I still can’t figure out how I got lost or the way I came out.
when I was 15 I witnessed some very strange goings on in a wood not far from my house in Houston, tx - it was after dark & I walked up on a circle of young women seated around a fire in black robes - I stopped immediately they all looked up at me simultaneously - the hair on my neck stood up and I walked backwards never taking my eyes off of them until the distance was "safe" and walked briskly away - took about ten steps and it seemed like something clicked - I turned around and walked back to the clearing - there was nothing not even a warm spot on the ground where the fire had been. I brought my dog back to the area - she picked up nothing.
Trippy. Black robes?! One the one hand, I could see some goth kids messing around; but them being gone when you went back is odd. I assume it was only a few minutes when you went back.
Fantastic video, I really enjoyed it. I believe a person’s aura protects them when they are in odd situations. Thank you for sharing these videos with us. Looking forward to seeing more.
As for Lilian (the 6 year old who said the sun hadn't sit during the 2 nights she was missing), it's possible she just fell asleep before twilight and woke after the sun came up. She was very small and was found 2 miles away, and that's assuming she went in one direction not around in circles, she might easily have just been tiring herself out wandering around.
I remember the mythbusters did a show where they tried to walk in a straight line blindfolded, and they ended up walking around in circles. It's very possible that the girl, lost was just wandering around in circles and didn't even know it.
I think you are seriously misinterpreting the intelligence of a 6-year-old. I suspect you are only considering a reality you are familiar with. There is FAR MORE that we humans do NOT KNOW than that we think we do. I believe that in time, it will be proven that we exist within a MULTI-DIMENSIONAL, MULTI-VERSE and not the one-dimensional single universe we currently believe exists, furthermore these dimensions on occasion intersect.
There are so many cases where children turn up in places people think it should have been impossible for them to get to. Maybe instead of looking towards anything spooky, we should question our assumptions about how far a determined child can travel and what kind of terrain they can cross. I think it can be easy to underestimate children. They have a surprising amount of energy and even quite a young child can climb as well as or better than many adults.
One time when we were camping, my young son got up in the middle of the night, and took off all his clothes. He went walking around like he was sleep walking. One time when I was camping with a large group of kids, and a few adults, one of the kids got up in the middle of the night, took off all his clothes, and began crying out. He was most likely sleep walking. So when I hear you talk about these kids found with no clothes on it doesn't surprise me.
Hey great video! i've just wanted to point out that the word ,,Gypsy" is considered an offensive slur by many Romani people (romani is the way we call ourselves and are officially called in most of Europe.) as well as that roma kidnap children is common libel. So please use Romani or Roma instead. Just wanted to spread awareness. :-)
that's where the saying "into thin air" comes from. certain cultures (i've heard of this in english folklore and some native american cultures) believe that there are specific areas where the veil between our world and the spirit world is "thinner" than normal, and easier to pass through. i think it's compelling that people an ocean apart came to the same conclusion.
@@napatora I don't think it's a spirit world, but simply a different dimension. It explains why people disappear and sometimes reappear later on, usually dead. Once they enter in to the portal, they can't find their way back out.
Stories like these become a lot less enigmatic when you have hallucinated before. Your brain can create incredibly convincing stimuli while under stress, one would argue a reality manufactured by your brain feels more real than objective reality.
@sdfdsfsdfdsfsdsdfdsfdfs to visit a place in a dream that you hadnt been to is paranormal. didnt match reality ? the dream did match reality. looks like you have an agenda. the biden agenda matches yours. everyone who isn't evil 👿 is crazy.. lol. thats a souless thing. look at its agenda. it wants you unconscionable and unconcious.
@Ten too i never said hallucinations weren't real. Anything experienced by a conscious being is subjectively real to the observer. This platform and all of human language is really bad at expressing concepts like this. You're on the right track, but you need to think bigger
@@dblack8141 you should try imbibing in some salvia divinorum extracts, will set your sights a bit more clearly on the truer, less human centric, nature of reality
Lilian's statement makes perfect sense if she was talking about the weather. If an adult said ‘I was lucky. The sun shone the whole week I was on holidays.’ You wouldn’t interpret that as meaning night never came, just that there was dry, sunny weather.
I would like to say that as a kid, I often squeezed between the three strand barbed wire fence around our pastures. I do recall sometimes snagging a tee shirt or getting the hood of my sweater stuck, but I never full on tore my clothes. Kids are small enough to fit through barbed wire without wrecking their clothes. I just wonder if people aren't giving exploring kids as much credit as they could.
What time of year did the 6 yr old disappear in?If she was up north in Maine near the summer solstice, would the sun only go down for a few hrs?Maybe she was asleep and when she awoke the sun was coming up so she thought it never set.?
Annie said "the moon looked at me": The Moon phase for June 4th, 1899 is a Waning Crescent phase. This is the phase where the moon is less than 50% illuminated but has not yet reached 0% illumination.
She was in inner earth. There's other than have spoken of this. There must be a portal in this area. Maybe diminsions overlapping at some point. Definitely needs further investigation. Children see all to well.
I know it's a horrible thought but when I heard the last story of the little girl found up high on the ridge my thoughts were she was probably small enough for a bird of prey (hawk,eagle) to pick her up and take up so high especially if it baby birds were involved. I ve seen videos of them taking small sheep and foxes. Of course it doesn't explain why she disappeared in the first place. Another thought was as you showed a picture of birds circling I would think a good tracker would follow any kind of trail and anyone familiar with the wilderness can attest to seeing large birds circling bodies of animals so I'm surprised more stories don't say while looking for a child we could see scavengers nearby.
I knew a man in Australia who's job on a farm was to fire warning shots into the sky to scare the Eagles away that were circling the farmers three kids when playing outside. It's not entirely uncommon
Birds like vultures don't circle carrion (and hawks, prey) - they are coasting on thermals to save energy for flight. Common misconception. Next time you see birds circling, check out the ground - you usually won't find anything!
I once suffered from heat-stroke or heat-exhaustion from being in the hot summer sun all day. That night, when I closed my eyes to try and sleep, it was bright like daytime. I was in a delirium all night, seeing and talking to people whom I knew, even though I was alone in a tent. Perhaps something similar happened to these kids?

More than anything, what all these "missing children found far away" stories make me think is that people vastly underestimate the possible feats of children, especially when scared and motivated.
Obviously, bc if not abducted by some stranger, only outlandish theories remain.
@@friedrichjunzt Only if you ignore what children are actually physically and mentally capable of.
Exactly. They have the same cellular mechanisms adults do for propelling their bodies, but are usually 3x-5x lighter. Imagine how much energy you'd have if you only weighed 50 lbs!
It's one thing if it is relatively easy terrain. Then yes, kids can clear insane distances. However if it is a densely wooded, rocky or other wise dangerous environment and they somehow travel 25-50 miles in a day or two and are found in near perfect condition with no signs they were even lost... yeah that warrants a non standard explanation.
@@fubarexress6359 I don't recall any cases where the kids were found 25 - 50 miles from where they vanished. Do you? 🤔
That story about the little girl that saw the sun shining for two days really struck me. My sister and I grew up in a house with a lot of woods nearby. I remember seeing a little store out in the woods and would see people going there. But for some reason,my sister and I could never get to the store. And no matter the weather,the sun shone in the woods. I'd think about it every so often and figured maybe I imagined it? A few years ago I mentioned it to my sister and she has the same memories too! I told her I thought I made that up. She was very insistent that there WAS a store in the woods that we weren't allowed to go to. Anyway, the parallel about the sun shining all the time is interesting. Also, this is in the Pacific northwest,so we get a lot of rain here. So we weren't in a sunny all the time place like Arizona.
Thanks for sharing.
yes I have a shared unusual memory with a sibling , can see it clear as day still . I do not believe it was a shared dream , the images are still VERY clear
What do you mean you "couldn't go inside"? I've heard of other stories where people found a house or something in the woods but there wasn't anything when they returned. And locals/ authorities say that none is there. Never sure what to make of the stories. 🤔
Like the one where a boy & a man went missing mere weeks apart in the same area (want to say Roan Mntn. but not certain) & both reported spending time in a cabin while lost. But rangers & green berets that were called in to look for the boy said there was no such cabin where they'd claimed. And authorities kept insisting they were wrong even tho both said it mere weeks apart.
The man was found by hikers nude, wrapped in a shower curtain he said he got at the cabin "rambling incoherently". And the boy said he spent time in the cabin with his grandfather - whom he knew to be deceased. Said he "fed him eggs" for breakfast."
At one point when he was outside of the cabin, he said he saw his mother & tried calling out to her "so he didn't get more lost" [People wonder what he meant by that if he was staying at the cabin, how could he get MORE lost?] but she couldnt hear him.
Did you ever research the area? Maybe you could determine what it was - or perhaps WHEN?... Or if others had experiences in the area similar or different to yours? Did it look old or modern? Did it really appear to belong there or was it out of place? 🕵
Also heard a story of a girl that was 3yo sitting in the treeline of her property near a creek/ river just watching the day. It was sunny the whole time - "or some other bright light"[?- did she say that just to appease because they didn't believe her so she tried rationalizing it somehow?]. But was gone like 17days or something & she thought it mere minutes/ an hour/ so. They searched that area extensively fearing she'd gone into the water. She never noticed them & they never saw her till she got up & went back home like any other day.
These stories are so perplexing! Thanks for sharing and would love any more insight you could provide!
@@shakenbutnotstirred3103 WOW
Multiple dimensions???
I was living in the forest with my family, about 30 miles south of the Grand Canyon, in a sparsely populated subdivision on a 5 acre lot. Weird things happened there. Me and my little brother and 2 friends from down the road were playing on the property as kids when we realized a young girl, about 7, was standing on the other side of the fence watching us. We knew all the neighbors around us, there were only a few, and we never saw her before. And she's alone and we're in the middle of the forest 13 miles from the nearest town. So we walk up to her and ask what she is doing, and she asks us if we want cookies and milk. We asked where she lives and she pointed at my families house and said it's her grandmas house and that's where the cookies and milk are. We told her that's our house and is she sure she's not lost or something, but she swore it was her grandmas house and was asking how we got on the property and who are we. We told her to walk around to the front of the property and we'll let her in the gate, figuring she is lost and confused. She starts walking through the trees and along the fence line to go around to the front, we were at the back of the property, and we cut through the property to the front gate and open it and wait for her. She never shows up. We walk around the fence line and can't find her. We go around to all the neighbors and ask if they have a 7 year old blonde girl visiting or something that they are missing but no one knew who we were talking about. People started helping us try to find her and they called the sheriffs to ask if a girl is missing anywhere nearby but nothing.
No one knew a thing about her and only us kids saw her.
We tripped out about that for years.
Wow. Thanks for sharing !!!
So like ... who was the previous owner of the property ya stayed at? Was it a old woman who that young girl claimed was her grandmother? Maybe it was her granddaughter’s ghost or spirit
Probably a ripple in space/time. In another dimension, she's telling her side of the story about watching a group of strange kids that just disappeared.
This is easy to figure out.
You weren’t sure she was 7, she could have been 6 or 8, so asking about the wrong age would obviously get a negative answer.
Maybe she was from the future and you were the ones in the past.
While many others would've gladly parroted false information to make a story more interesting, I appreciate that you had the integrity to fact check and call B.S.
I particularly liked that too. Not only did Enigma refuse to include the bit about the flower crown and fur ape and the "hairy people with the sun in their eyes" but he went out of his way to tell the viewers that it was made up by a hoax site.
@@MarshmallowEclipse it was a great story though
Cryptids and aliens are never as interesting as plain old mystery.
If she fell asleep before the sun set and awoke after sunrise, it would seem to her that the sun never set
Thank you.
Valid point. I appreciate the way u think.
Either that or she was under an alien examination lamp, stuck in some time shift pocket?
Sleep while she 6 and missing all alone wanne bet she slept not much she must bin affraid
@@Samanta-van-laar they said she wasn’t upset. Seemed calm and serine when they found her. She wasn’t scared
Former Bennington resident here, my grandfather Deacon St. Clair was a local patrolman involved with this case. Behavior from Queenie during the search suggests someone else was at the very least in close proximity to Louis (watching from a distance perhaps?) aggressive barking directed towards the northwest also occurred shortly after finding the boy. But it was never followed up on by additional volunteers / officers... Its a good thing they got to him in time, someone may have stumbled upon him, waiting for their chance.
Or some perv grabbed him after he wandered off, heard the dog and hid the kid in the brush hoping the dog wouldn't find him, then when Queenie did they cut their losses and made a run for it. Either way that dog was worth every penny the sheriff paid for her
or it was a bigfoot 👀
OR the devil in the detail
@@Zeruel3 Yes indeed! 👍
By other accounts, this took place in Fitzwilliam, NH. I’m confused. But it sounds like it was Vermont if your Grandfather was involved in the case
My grandmother’s brother went into town,about a 4 mile walk from home.They lived in a rural area in northern Ontario.He was never seen again.The local police department investigated and believed a wolf pack got him.How they came to that conclusion was never revealed to me.It has been several decades since that event.My grandmother went to her grave wondering what became of her brother.
Well she knows now if that’s any consolation, I feel like the other side is the only place we’ll ever learn what some of these occurrences are
When was this?
Wolves often leave inedible evidence ... it is easy to imagine the RCMP not wanting to share their evidence with the family.
All is revealed once we die. She got her answers I'm sure.
Another thing missed here, if she was articulate enough to describe “something the size of her cat” she would have known what a rabbit was… these are some of the first animals a child learns and also easy to recognise, hopping about with their big ears
Could have been raccoons.
Omitting the newspapers explanations gives the impression that she saw fairies.
Are there bobcats or other wild cats in the area?
Probably just noticed some small furry animal or another without getting a clear look
@@TheDoctorofOdoIsland we all know fairies are just made up by blind people who couldn't see humming birds and dragonfly's correctly
I feel like any case where a child so young miraculously survives even a few days unharmed is interesting enough on its own without insisting upon adding more interesting or paranormal elements. The survival seems interesting enough, and the being found in good health and spirits is nothing short of a miracle with no need for embellishment.
Thats because there's something paranormal or something else involved
Yeah. I enjoy these sorts of things more as amazing stories of survival. The interesting part to me is that children really can become lost in the wilderness as quickly as they do, be as hard to find as they are, and travel such long distances across difficult terrain. Some may be kidnappings, but there are so many stories of things happening that everyone thought weren't possible that maybe it's just time we do some studies and adjust our ideas of what can happen in these situations. Might save some lives if we're not stuck thinking that a little kid couldn't get very far when clearly sometimes they can.
you calling it a miracle is the literal embellishment of the entire discussion you’re trying to create lol.
Yes... Exactly. 👍👍👍
@@icantthinkofaname15 there's absolutely no evidence of that
Having watched all of local58, the quote “and the moon looked at me” gave me serious chills
When I hear stories of children going missing it just rips at my heart. People are just too quick to assume that their children are where they are supposed to be, and they don’t check on them often enough. The statement, “they was just right there” always means the adult lost track of time and the child got away or was taken. Thank you for sharing these stories.
Perfect timing I was about to inquire about you. Missing your vids
I was yesterday wondering when a new upload seems my wish was granted...
Nobody finds it odd that they assumed that a six year old living in rural Maine didn't know what a rabbit was? Surely she would have seen rabbits many times before on her family's property.
We don't know that they were rabbits or that there was anything at all
The last story is heartbreaking.
A Child leaves behind their Toddler sibling unable to comprehend the dangers. The guilt she must have felt for the rest of her life.
It sound like a Predator Feline got her, and brought her up to the perch (Carrying her in its mouth) to eat while able to observe the area of threats, such as other humans.
I'd eat a wild cat alive if it ate my child. Raw. Uncooked. Still alive. I would die with a smile cuz eating uncooked meat would most likely kill me but worth it. I'd wear its hide after an walk my last few moments letting all the other animals know who runs shit. Lol

I like how thorough your research is-that you don’t substitute anecdotal evidence for fact.I subscribed several episodes ago due to these fact based stories.
As someone who plays a necromancer in skyrim i can say with absolute confidence that just because you already searched an area for a dead body and couldn't find one dosen't mean that that's not exactly where it was all along.

Author: “Why would this three year old child remove his clothing, especially as temperatures began to plummet?”
Me: “You’ve never had a toddler/young child, have you? You ever tried to keep a child of three dressed in the frozen food aisle of your local supermarket? Played find the shoe/sock/glove/t-shirt, etc. along the grocery aisles?
Hah, I thought that too! He took his clothes off, because he can. Then he didn't put them back on when it got cold, because he couldn't dress himself yet.
having been one, I can attest to the fact that toddlers hate cloths.
Yes! Thank you, was scrolling hoping to find this comment. My kids love to undress even in the middle of winter--when they're outdoors! I think sometimes kids' metabolisms are much higher due to their levels of physical activity (running and playing constantly) and it makes them feel hot when adults are more prone to be slower moving and thus feel the cold more acutely.
Julie, I was thinking very similarly to you, when they questioned why a 3-yr-old would disrobe (but your example made me _giggle so hard I actually _*_snarfled!_* ) I recall being 3 Very Well; 2 weeks after my birth my family moved to _HotAsAllHades,_ MS. When playing in our yard, it was common for my much-older brothers and I to run around shirtless, occasionally running through sprinklers for added relief.
I will *_never_* forget that crappy, sticky 👉summer👈 day when our Mom, a buxom lady, called me over to tell me that henceforth I would have to wear a t-shirt with my shorts.
Just because I'm a *_girl._*
The rebellion and righteous anger that followed is the reason I recall it so well. It seemed terribly unfair, considering my brothers were never given such a sentencing. Mom took me inside our house (which had no A/C and was hotter inside) to attempt to explain the concept that one day I would have _breasts._ I retorted that my chest was flatter than both my brothers. In an _accusatory tone,_ I added that *_my_* chest looked *_nothing_* like *_hers._*
"Daughter, you have ... pennies. I can see your pennies; we ladies do not show our pennies."
"My brothers have pennies that they show day and night!"
*__* "These," she pointed to her chest, "are _nickels._ Your brothers will never grow nickels, but as a girl, someday you will."
Just after sundown Dad came home from work, to find Mom cradling her head in her hands. "Hi hon. Seems quiet -- where are the kids?" After relaying the day's events, she added, "The boys are outside, trying to rescue *_your_* daughter. She's shucked off all her clothes then climbed a tree, so now she's over _forty feet off the ground,_ sitting up there in nothing but her panties. Naturally she's now too afraid to climb down, so I sent our eldest up there to get her."
as a toddler, i was far above trying to take my clothes off all the time
i was a pretty smart kid back then, and i'd say that me back then is way smarter than i am now
i had a lot going for me at 3-6. learned to count to 100, learned how to spell and read rather quickly, dressed myself for the first time way back in preschool, counted to 200 in 1st grade, and wrote a 3 page comic book at 6 with its own plot twist (spoil: the police officer was the protagonist's dad)
now, all i got going for me is writing. not that good at math, can't spell for crap despite being a good writer, sleep deprived all the time, overthink way too much, and barely making it through most classes. old me was way more productive and smart

YES!! A new video from Missing Enigma. Excellent way to captivate the end of the week, thank you.
At only 22 months old, I dont imagine her getting far but she was small enough she could have been picked up by any bird of prey. Owls are very good at carrying large things off. This seems a plausible reason for her being found where she was.
Bald eagles are the largest bird of prey in that part of the US and they can carry at MAX with ideal conditions 10 pounds. There’s no bird doing that
@@brendanmarr9048 Today, that is. Food chains and ecosystems faced little to no pressure from human encroachment/development back then. This allowed apex predators to grow significantly bigger/stronger than they do today.
I do think its more likely to be some kind of animal attack, but I doubt it would be birds. Nothing big enough to take off with a child. But mountain lions? Absolutely. They can drag deer up into trees. They can and do attack full grown humans. Babies are absolutely on their menu and getting up that mountain would likely be far easier for a cat than a human.

I don't know what Lillian ran into out there in the woods.
Many of us know the story of Lillian but don't think it was a Bigfoot,Nor a Bear.
My grandmother was Maliseet Indian...no she never called herself native american.. Maliseet Indian.
At any rate,She was born in 1914 several years after this story happened However,the story was still talked about for years and the consensus among Many Maliseet was that Lillian had been with 'Gloosklap' or a similar being...not a Bigfoot.
Other children had also had similar experiences like Lillian before that.
Nope I don't have any testimony I can show you,I can only tell you the stories as they were told to me by my grandmother and her brothers..my great uncles...but take a grain of salt with the stories of 'Gloosklap' my great uncles told me...they just wanted me to stay out of 'Their' favorite hunting spots...and if that meant scaring the hell out of a nephew? It was entertaining for them as well as maintaining secure hunting grounds.

In my Mothers younger years she didnt know night exists, Because she would go to bed while sun was still up and awoke after sunrise.. When she unexpectedly woke up one night.. She thought the world was ending😂😂😂
The midnight sun is a natural phenomenon that occurs during the summer in places south of the Antarctic Circle and north of the Arctic Circle - including Northern Norway. ... Svalbard is the place in Norway where the midnight sun occurs for the longest period. Here, the sun doesn't set between 20 April and 22 August.
Awwwww 😄💖
I am inclined to believe the "moon as the sun" theory in Lillian's case. I have checked the Moon Giant website for the phase of the moon for August 12, 1897, and it was Full. In the modern world we no longer experience "night" in the way that our ancestors would have done. Masardis, Maine, in 1897 would undoubtedly have been far removed from the light pollution that we experience today. I can attest to this from an experience of a lack of electric light. After Hurricane Katrina, there was no electric light for hundreds of miles around where I live and that very different experience of the night sky was surprising. My home is in a rural area surrounded by some woodland so there was no light from neighbors either. It was too hot in our house so we were compelled to sleep on the floor of the screen porch, and there outside on those apparently completely pitch black nights I was woken up on multiple occasions by bright lights shining: it was the stars. I am still stunned that I could be woken by starlight but it happened, and the moon was dark then. Thus, I cannot discount what Lillian says about the constant quality of light when she was lost in the woods during a Full Moon.
Those " stars " were actually alien ships. 😂
I can also attest the effects of a starlit sky without a full moon, in a tropical forest in Malaysia at night. Man, they bright when given a chance.
I was in rural Australia, thousands of kilometres from the closest city. Seeing all the stars that I could never see at home (I live in a city) was honestly a bit scary, it felt like they were pressing down on me, like I was in a cooking pot. But they were also gorgeous and I'm glad I got to see something so beautiful and magical.
thats rediulous she would know the difernce
Ok but this was a time where she probably experienced a similar night just by being at her house. Like she never walked home before under a full moon or was even in the woods for a minute with no light around.
That young girl was guarded and guided by her guardian angel. The angel illuminated her way I’m sure so that the child would not be frightened.
But where is the now iconic sketch of our favourite search dog and handler?! We can't trust the new ones yet, not when old ones have been through so many searches with us! 😉

Maybe people are stepping into other dimensions through portals in the wild.
When I was young I remember large creatures roaming around my friends woods behind her house, we believed there were portals spread around those woods, I don't know where we came up with those ideas but it was all quite real to us

It’s interesting how a lot of these missing kids and even adults are found partially clothed or not clothed at all.
It's called paradoxical undressing and it's often associated with terminal burrowing or "hide and die syndrome". It's a condition roughly half of all fatal and near-fatal cases of hypothermia express. Basically in moderate to severe cases of hypothermia you enter a state of delirium which can include disorientation, hallucinations and confusion. Before death the muscles that constrict your blood vessels to funnel heat to your core give out causing the blood to rush back to the surface. It's like taking a cold shower and then cranking the heat all the way up, you feel like you're on fire. The feeling of extreme overheat in combination with the delirium is thought to be the cause of this behavior. Which would go to explaining why these people are often found naked and large distances away or in strange places in general.
@@YakYo wow! Thank you for educating me on this…very informative and interesting. Have a great day!!
...again, makes me think Alien abduction.
Or missing shoes.
@@YakYo but why are the clothes neatly folded?
I think I comment on just about all of your videos saying the same thing but I feel i have. To see this channels incredible content and hard work being paid off now with sponsorships and an ever growing subscriber count that will be at 100K in no time truly brings me great happiness for ya brother. You deserve every bit of success and good fortune that comes your way, you’re truly a rare talent with your drawing, narrating, and overall vision to put it all together in a gripping and compelling way not common to other channels on these topics. Lookin forward to more great videos to come man, keep grindin and God Bless!
They couldn’t find her so THEY left to get more help? There is no way I would leave those mountains and forest . I may send his mother or I would personally go one or the other , but no way would we both take off for help . I’m assuming that’s what really happened and that part was lost to history . I can’t imagine parents both leaving their lost child behind to go for help
I was thinking the same thing
They didnt even get the name spelling right but this dude narrorating was able to figure it out? lol sus cops
one thing about the last case that intrigued me was the decapitation. theres no information mentioned about it in this video. not whether they figured out if it happened "before" or after death, what the cause might have been judging by the manner in which the wound separating the head from the neck would be shaped in, and even if it was just an animal messing with her corpse, how the hell did it get the head off and 16 feet away from the body? emma's story is very tragic, and it always is tragic when a case goes unsolved. at the very least they found her, so the parents could get at least some closure.
Bennington, Vermont is in the so called Bennington Triangle, a place noted for strange disappearances. This is the first time I'd heard of someone surviving a disappearance there. Usually, they are never found at all.
Funny it was a kid who survived
I like your channel. The stories may have been covered elsewhere but your deliveries, drawings and extra details makes them special. Thanks for your work and time. Lvya much. Shalom. D
11:51 Always glad to see the same man and dog in every search that includes dogs
You'll almost think they've been abducted by an alien UFO. Or the use of portals. Or unknown creatures with unusual abilities such as the ability to make themselves invisible or move so quickly and so quietly that no one notices. As if the people who did the searches were being watched. And that they waited until they were gone and then placed the body or live person in the spot that was already searched. How else are you going to explain it?
Yes i would agree having studied alien abduction and all that goes with such events , screen memories implanted
into the victim so they have little or no real recollection of what went on or where they had been taken,
all ages involved not just children and all over the world , quite disturbing .
@@hybrid6692 I think what you describe may be possible. But the subject is very often ridiculed. And you also have people who are deliberately spreading misinformation about certain topics as you can see in this part 4:15.

@@One1164 Absolutely , from those less informed or just have no awareness and from government agencies who need to keep the public dumbed down.
@@forstianideal4459 why are u gae
Two things to say. Firstly, thanks for mentioning that people were quick to blame Gypsies and use them as scapegoats. Antiziganism is still all too common in the world. Secondly, about the girl saying the sun shone brightly in the woods all the time. When I was in high school, I used to make trips in the middle of the night to a gas station nearby my house to buy candy and snacks. It was four blocks away, so I would walk there and back. It happened more than once in the wintertime when there was a lot of snow on the ground that I walked outside to head to the gas station and I noticed that it was inexplicably bright outside. Not quite as bright as it would be during the middle of the day, but it looked a hell of a lot like it might be early morning or early evening. The ambient light around me was far too bright for it to look like it was 1:30 a.m. I took a picture of this phenomenon one time and sent it to the weather channel to ask the meteorologist about it and he replied that it's got something to do with refraction of light caused by differing air temperatures. Apparently cold air refracts light differently than warm air does, and if the air temp is different at ground level than it is a little bit above, it can cause a weird effect where light is bent back towards the surface and it looks really bright.
You talk too much .. God bless your partner.
@@tearitloosetearitloose4670 See the difference is my partner isn't an ornery fuck who doesn't want to hear anybody talk. God bless your partner, they probably have to deal with you berating them any time they try to share something they find interesting.

Perfect! A new video on a night I cannot fall asleep, this will help me immensely!
One of the best channels around keep it up
I really appreciate your research and how down to earth you are, and no useless speculation, thank you!
dense brush sometimes seems less dense to little kids, because theyre smaller and so smaller gaps and smaller trails are more accessible to them
I just really enjoy this channel, and yes, it still makes my heart skip a beat to get the notification!! Its very obvious how much research you do, not to mention the GORGEOUS illustration. I'm still in awe. You are a class act.
It's kind of maddening when you hear about how these young children describe their strange disappearances but then are never interviewed again once they become adults so that they could give far more detailed explanations as to what had happened to them during the time in between.
Most don’t remember by then..
Some of them are and they pretty much say they don't remember it at all.
Look at the dates. This particular video had dates from 1940s and late 1800s. The children who survived are now dead due to time. They can't be interviewed.
...and the rest are put on medication, or a mental hospital. Most people can't even grasp the concept of a 'higher power,' something even every recovering Alcoholic knows. It threatens people who live in their capricious random Euclidean universe, to think they are not in control. Yet, when we accept that we are not the apex predators, we avail ourselves to a force more powerful than the more powerful demons that are implied it comes with. Kids become aware the authority figures just don't know, and so they repress the memory.
Your art style is amazing and grabs attention the entire video ... Glad I found your channel
It is very reminiscent of a channel called Bedtime Stories. You might enjoy it too, more diverse topics, but very well done, too. I am pretty sure it's a concidence. Just thought I would share because finding new channels can be difficult.
*First time viewer* Great stories! Well done digging these up and also debunking the false ones. Its very clear you did your homework and studied these accounts in depth. I subbed.
Same 👍
it would have been cool to hypnotise the ones who survived when they got older to find out what really happened.
Some people have repressed traumatic experiences only to remember them decades later. Maybe one of the missing can recall under hypnosis what happened to them. In a Mr. Ballen story the toddler said "Cappy Grandma" had him. Thats the only case I can think of where the child explained what they say happened to them, as unbelievable as that story is.
@@leequinn2733 Mr. Ballen makes those stories up for clicks. He also tries to profit off of David Paulides Missing 411 cases.

Remember the Green Children of Woolpit? The girl said that they came from a land where its always twilight.
Excellent & logical discussion. Conclusions are rational & without embellishment. I appreciate your thoughtful approach to these missing stories.
atropine occurs naturally in many plants of the nightshade family (Solanaceae), including: wolfberry (Atropa belladonna)
That's what I'm thinking...she had a fever...I remember having a fever as a kid...and I thought there was a bull and a bullfighting in my bedroom...It was so real to this day! Ha!
Isn't it amazing that little children always seem to make it out of the woods, while adults never seem to make it out alive?
I'd love to hear follow ups on how they are today and what they remembered. Thanks for the video ♡
your voice is perfect for narrating stories and hilariously strange for ad reads. that being said you go girl get your bag
I used to live in The area of Maryland you are mentioning I can confirm that if you were to go missing in that forest on that park or in any of the adjacent mountains it would be difficult to find you unless you made an insane amount of noise.
I used to work for the base that is on one of the mountains in that national park and we would do patrols if you even got maybe 10 feet from someone you would lose them in the trees / brush or behind a hill. That forest is incredibly quiet isolated. Even with the homes in the area- if you got lost good luck. Strange people live there along with minimal cell phone service.
What area of Maryland? Im from Cecil county,near the Mason-Dixon line in Maryland.

I love the Lillian Carney story. It’s so intriguing to imagine the world through the eyes of a lost six year old. It’s interesting that so many people latched onto this case despite the prosaic explanations the newspaper offered.
Was the sun really shining for over 50 consecutive hours? Did Lillian really see little people? Was she possibly seeing what her abductors wanted her to see; if she was abducted at all?
It’s a story that gives us permission to entertain the impossible.
I love this channel. I goto sleep listening to you every night. Awesome stories and great content. Keep it up man!!!
Last one sounds like an animal got to Emma and carried her body up to the top of the rock to feed on it
Great video, I love hearing about cases from the 19th century, old but not forgotten.
I know that times were different back then but even now I often see kids playing with parents no where in sight. Often expecting the slightly older to keep and eye on the younger.
I was almost got kidnapped twice when I was in elementary school. Once from walking home when school was out. The second time was when playing in the front yard while mom was cooking. My brother of 4 years older was watching me. At the time I was 6 and he was 10.
As a parents, I never let my kids out of my sight.
I really enjoy this channel. Just about everything you cover is interesting and enjoyable, suspenseful and sometimes frightening. Looking forward to many more stories. You are so thorough in your investigations and ask all the right questions. Thanks for all of your hard work !
There is a correlation with berry pickers and strange disappearances. And the answer to this enigma, I believe, is probably more mind blowing then we could even imagine.
Indeed!
Is it the Fae?
Far, little people, evil spirits, duende' take your pick. There's stories strings the world that basically have the same issues just a different name or culprit.
Berries, weather ☁️, water, rock 🪨 mounds, ... To name a few,...
Hallucinogenic berries? Tripping balls would be pretty mind blowing.
Thank you for the upload! These are among the best on UA-cam. Hope all is well brother.
My guess is that she stumbled through a portal and was guided back.
I like how u stick to facts and call out hoaxes
Anyone remember the Bennington triangle? Great video btw.
Just found your channel. I am loving it! Thank you... very well done in every way!
Perhaps the solution is so obvious it gets overlooked. Any parents can tell you how children can sleep in just about any position and any place. They also need more sleep than adults. The little girl probably laid down and fell asleep before the sun set and continued sleeping until sometime after sunrise. This is not an improbable scenario.
These are such interesting stories/accounts. Thanks for posting.
I think blueberry or berry pickers go missing because when you take from the Forrest the fae often get upset and you get lost. I hike a trail in a place called devils hopyard in Connecticut for 17 years. Never was lost. I went recently and got so terribly lost. It was like the same trail as always but it was like I walked through a portal and a new forest was created as I got lost. It took me about 5/6 hours to find a way back. And I never found the trail. I came out of the forest onto the road way before the trail head. I still can’t figure out how I got lost or the way I came out.
YOURE BACK! way too long without this awesome content
when I was 15 I witnessed some very strange goings on in a wood not far from my house in Houston, tx - it was after dark & I walked up on a circle of young women seated around a fire in black robes - I stopped immediately they all looked up at me simultaneously - the hair on my neck stood up and I walked backwards never taking my eyes off of them until the distance was "safe" and walked briskly away - took about ten steps and it seemed like something clicked - I turned around and walked back to the clearing - there was nothing not even a warm spot on the ground where the fire had been. I brought my dog back to the area - she picked up nothing.
You must've had some powerful smoke or something lol.
@@pegs1659 guess again , I was stone cold sober !!
@@antonfarquar8799 I was kinda hoping you were stoned. That kind of reality is scary.
Trippy. Black robes?! One the one hand, I could see some goth kids messing around; but them being gone when you went back is odd. I assume it was only a few minutes when you went back.
Here in los banos ca we been finding sacrifices of animals and people going missing people in black robes too
Fantastic video, I really enjoyed it. I believe a person’s aura protects them when they are in odd situations. Thank you for sharing these videos with us. Looking forward to seeing more.
As for Lilian (the 6 year old who said the sun hadn't sit during the 2 nights she was missing), it's possible she just fell asleep before twilight and woke after the sun came up.
She was very small and was found 2 miles away, and that's assuming she went in one direction not around in circles, she might easily have just been tiring herself out wandering around.
I remember the mythbusters did a show where they tried to walk in a straight line blindfolded, and they ended up walking around in circles. It's very possible that the girl, lost was just wandering around in circles and didn't even know it.
I think you are seriously misinterpreting the intelligence of a 6-year-old. I suspect you are only considering a reality you are familiar with. There is FAR MORE that we humans do NOT KNOW than that we think we do. I believe that in time, it will be proven that we exist within a MULTI-DIMENSIONAL, MULTI-VERSE and not the one-dimensional single universe we currently believe exists, furthermore these dimensions on occasion intersect.
@@hamishford5486 wow. condescending AND insane
You have done a fine job here. Thanks for your good sense and work.
There are so many cases where children turn up in places people think it should have been impossible for them to get to. Maybe instead of looking towards anything spooky, we should question our assumptions about how far a determined child can travel and what kind of terrain they can cross. I think it can be easy to underestimate children. They have a surprising amount of energy and even quite a young child can climb as well as or better than many adults.
One time when we were camping, my young son got up in the middle of the night, and took off all his clothes. He went walking around like he was sleep walking. One time when I was camping with a large group of kids, and a few adults, one of the kids got up in the middle of the night, took off all his clothes, and began crying out. He was most likely sleep walking. So when I hear you talk about these kids found with no clothes on it doesn't surprise me.
Hey great video! i've just wanted to point out that the word ,,Gypsy" is considered an offensive slur by many Romani people (romani is the way we call ourselves and are officially called in most of Europe.) as well as that roma kidnap children is common libel. So please use Romani or Roma instead. Just wanted to spread awareness. :-)
Excellent research and narration. Always look forward to a new upload. Cheers 🇨🇦🍁
I think there is a different dimension that people fold into and sometimes never find a way out.
Agreed..
It’s the only thing that makes sense
that's where the saying "into thin air" comes from. certain cultures (i've heard of this in english folklore and some native american cultures) believe that there are specific areas where the veil between our world and the spirit world is "thinner" than normal, and easier to pass through. i think it's compelling that people an ocean apart came to the same conclusion.
Absolutely….
@@napatora I don't think it's a spirit world, but simply a different dimension. It explains why people disappear and sometimes reappear later on, usually dead. Once they enter in to the portal, they can't find their way back out.
Thanks for exposing the fraudulent website. We need more like you.
Stories like these become a lot less enigmatic when you have hallucinated before. Your brain can create incredibly convincing stimuli while under stress, one would argue a reality manufactured by your brain feels more real than objective reality.
Nah , nope , not here on these cases
@sdfdsfsdfdsfsdsdfdsfdfs to visit a place in a dream that you hadnt been to is paranormal. didnt match reality ? the dream did match reality. looks like you have an agenda. the biden agenda matches yours. everyone who isn't evil 👿 is crazy.. lol. thats a souless thing. look at its agenda. it wants you unconscionable and unconcious.
@Ten too i never said hallucinations weren't real. Anything experienced by a conscious being is subjectively real to the observer. This platform and all of human language is really bad at expressing concepts like this. You're on the right track, but you need to think bigger
@@dblack8141 you should try imbibing in some salvia divinorum extracts, will set your sights a bit more clearly on the truer, less human centric, nature of reality

Lilian's statement makes perfect sense if she was talking about the weather. If an adult said ‘I was lucky. The sun shone the whole week I was on holidays.’ You wouldn’t interpret that as meaning night never came, just that there was dry, sunny weather.
Necromancy was the last thing I figured would ever said mentioned in a video like this.
I would like to say that as a kid, I often squeezed between the three strand barbed wire fence around our pastures. I do recall sometimes snagging a tee shirt or getting the hood of my sweater stuck, but I never full on tore my clothes. Kids are small enough to fit through barbed wire without wrecking their clothes. I just wonder if people aren't giving exploring kids as much credit as they could.
What time of year did the 6 yr old disappear in?If she was up north in Maine near the summer solstice, would the sun only go down for a few hrs?Maybe she was asleep and when she awoke the sun was coming up so she thought it never set.?

Definitely needs further investigation.
Children see all to well.
I enjoyed your narration of all these great stories!
I know it's a horrible thought but when I heard the last story of the little girl found up high on the ridge my thoughts were she was probably small enough for a bird of prey (hawk,eagle) to pick her up and take up so high especially if it baby birds were involved. I ve seen videos of them taking small sheep and foxes. Of course it doesn't explain why she disappeared in the first place. Another thought was as you showed a picture of birds circling I would think a good tracker would follow any kind of trail and anyone familiar with the wilderness can attest to seeing large birds circling bodies of animals so I'm surprised more stories don't say while looking for a child we could see scavengers nearby.
I knew a man in Australia who's job on a farm was to fire warning shots into the sky to scare the Eagles away that were circling the farmers three kids when playing outside. It's not entirely uncommon
Birds like vultures don't circle carrion (and hawks, prey) - they are coasting on thermals to save energy for flight. Common misconception. Next time you see birds circling, check out the ground - you usually won't find anything!
I was thinking eagle also.
It actually HAS happened, and does.
Uncommin ud think, but common ENOUGH that it's plausible
Or a mountain lion
I once suffered from heat-stroke or heat-exhaustion from being in the hot summer sun all day. That night, when I closed my eyes to try and sleep, it was bright like daytime. I was in a delirium all night, seeing and talking to people whom I knew, even though I was alone in a tent. Perhaps something similar happened to these kids?
