Hey all, This video is a compilation of missing hikers that I've covered over the last few years. I'm currently working on another video specific to a hiker that disappeared inside a national park, but it wasn't quite ready for today, though you can expect it next week.
@@nancyM1313you must take some time to binge and deep dive all the videos here. I've been led on some humbling rabbit holes... currently 3 years post my own personal binge and It gets wilder and wilder in the best, most logical and nonsensical ways
As someone who find the true crime and mysterious disappearance content fascinating and have seen many videos on the subject I am seriously considering filming a series of short clips with various search and rescue scenarios and ancillary generic models in common wilderness terrain, nonspecific National Park locations, climates and weather conditions to choose from in this compilation the clip series and provide it free and without any licensing requirements to channels similar to your own. My motivation being simply that the same clips of searchers in little high viz vests calling out into the woods silently and one finding the lone ankle high pull on boot and the two other variations ARE SO so overused and were hokey looking to begin with . There has to be some better alternative to these very played out and silly looking SAR examples. I know this sounds silly and yes there are more important issues in the world but this is a real pet peeve of mine. It honestly, really distracts me from a story when the same stupid clip plays over and over and over and over again with the same dopey looking people in their little high viz vests in a poorly produced and executed dramatization of a very serious situational subject matter. Please let me know what you think because I would put my money where my mouth is. Thank you for your consideration and feedback
I think what they meant on the last case by "the skin was intact" and that "the body wasn't where it should have been if a fall had occurred", she did not come into contact with the cliff/mountain she had been on. If she had fallen her skin would have shown abrasions and she would have been close in to what she had fallen from. It sounds like she was out away from the mountain and had not hit anything on the way down. At least that's what I'm getting from those two statements.
Ever notice that most disappearances occur, when someone is either solo hiking, or is out of sight, for a very short period of time? The rule of two "One is none, and two is one.", never hike alone, and do not let your partner out of your sight. That rule has saved more lives. Another outstanding video Adam. Thank you.
Absolutely, even when you have no family or friends that are interested in hiking, try to find a club or group online with similar interests or look for guided hikes rather than go alone, I'm kind of a loner but I always make sure I'm hiking with other people.
oh yeah, obviously because people don’t go missing in groups which tells you everything you need to know if they were really just getting lost it would happen to groups of people just as easily as it would happen to one person, and as they said two heads are better than one. It’s definitely true. In this case you don’t want to ever be out of sight of a person that you’re hiking or camping or whatevering with. Because that’s when they get you the jinn. affect your awareness and perception and thought processes in reasoning it’s the trickster element.
@@PeaceJourney... Fine, yer an exception to the rule, congrats! However if, or when you are no longer an exception to the rule, please do it outside of the GPNW. I don't want to get the call, to come looking for you. Selfish of me, I know.
Ever since I educated myself on missing 411 cases I have become extremely reluctant to go into any wooded areas or national parks. It's the fear of not knowing what the f*** it is that's doing this that really makes my skin crawl
411 cases are not all accurate. Those books are based on the premise that officials are "lying" and "hiding evidence" which is not true and very easy to prove. There is a whole series of books about death in national parks, and they are all easy to research. Just because the park authorities won't give out pending evidence on cases does not mean they are hiding evidence, just working an open case and can't hand out the sensitive information to anyone that wants it. Just read a couple of those books and you'll realize that every accident and vanishing has been documented, they just don't give it out to former detectives who were fired from their jobs for illegal sales of information..
Start out simple and grow in skills. It's people who ignore risks and don't advance skills that usually run into trouble. Know your limits, use common sense and you should be ok
Haha funny. Young people told me when I was 64 how young I looked and I did. Not greatly though now after years of stress and major operations. 50 I see as young. Some 50s I see look pretty unfortunate though. (Genetics and lifestyle and all that).
Adam, you treat these stories with such respect, striking the difficult balance between appropriate skepticism and humble openness to mystery. Thank you. I always look forward to your videos, and I wish you well from NW Washington State!
You've put in a lot of effort into compiling all this and kudos for asking the often obvious but still difficult questions which frequently go unanswered. You do a great service to the families of those missing or found deceased in mysterious circumstances.
It so weird that people ...and experienced hikers with that disappear. The weirdest are those who call for help..and most presumably able to see rescuers but for some reason can not be seen by the rescuers. As if they walked into a predator trap.
I heard something interesting yesterday, if you lay a map of caves over the map of disappearances, that a large number of them line up with one of these caves I wonder as well if that might explain in part at least where the bodies are physically ending up
A large number of missing cases are explainable by 2 factors 1) Solo hikers venture out ill prepared & experience falls & broken limbs which hamper recovery & fall prey to wild animals especially lynx or cougar & bears - 2) Solo hikers are tracked by serial killers who live in the wilds & as you accurately point out are absconded into remote caves & underground dwellings never to be seen again. The film Bone Tomahawk which left me feeling disturbed for some time highlights this well known by US Park Rangers’ regular occurrence. I live in Kent County UK & have visited the US pre Plandemic a dozen times, the last occasion being a fly drive all over TX where I visited Big Bend State Park. Where hikers there have also disappeared. Visited with friends who live in TX & know the area well. Loved to recount the visit. You’ll not ever find me solo hiking as a mature adult in the US anywhere. Frequently go out with my dog ( & protection ) in my own residence in Kent County S/E England. Subscriber of 10 years to David Paulides Missing 411 & CanAm. If you go solo hiking anywhere in the State Parks & woods of the US, you’re an idiot inviting trouble. That’s my mind on the matter. 😃👍
@@paulfitzpatrick6566 i 100% agree to all you say about serial killers. Some are extreme loners and would love living in caves waiting for prey like a spider builds a web to catch a moth at night. I love on 27 acres in NE Texas. Mostly wooded as I refused to let my husband clear cut it. I wanted to keep a wildlife refuge for deer and other animals as we have a huge pond where they can come and drink. I have walked right beside a young rabbit who just stayed still. Was such a cool experience. Crazy its all pine trees here for the most part. But our soil is like powder. Had roadrunners here ! And coyotes. If you ever saw the cartoons about the coyote and roadrunner. Was driving down the road and a road runner was racing me. The cougar walked across our driveway. I know she smelled us. About 20 or 30 yards away. We just watched her pass and went on about our business. Then my husband discovered Bob cat kittens. Thought they were house cat type. Until he heard a warning growl and said ok mama im leaving I wont bother your babies and backed away. Main thing is never turn your back on a wild potentially dangerous animal and never run . It makes you prey to them if you run. Kittens had pretty blue eyes. Hubby was met by our local coyote pack under the big light he put up at our private rd. He just stood up taller and put his hands up high and yelled get out of here!! I love those guys. When they run through at night you can hear their young ones yapping as they go. I get a giggle. We had two foxes that came here to escape a fire we had in Texas nearby. One barked at me. Sounds like a cough. It was dark so I thought it was a dog coughing from smoke im outside saying come here puppy come on. I found out by Google it was a fox. Then the two came and hubby was cleaning a wild boar he killed and they waited 20 feet from him for him to toss a piece of hog to them which he did. One was laying near our rd in a pasture and i stopped my vehicle and spoke to him. Told him he was pretty, was welcomed to lie there and stay with us and his mate too. Then I drove off and left him in piece. Hubby was feeding one at his job. She came in the shop and eventually took food from his hand. She had babies the dad started showing up and they took food to their babies. Someone had dumped kittens there. They fox never hurt them. Even the police were feeding the kittens. Most wildlife wont bother you unless you scare them or make them protective of their young nearby. Look up how many cougar attacks there have been in the US in 5 years or so. Its a small amount. The bib cats are different. I had to care for some at an exotics pet shop. Had to wear thick leather gloves to pick them up to get them into a carrier to clean their cage. They hissed and spit and growled. I wasn't crazy about them. But the 4 month old tiger I cared for was a hoot! He gnawed on me gently. And I would throw a cardboard box down the end of the back of the display cases for him to chase and destroy. Then it was back to my knee caps and shoulder blades lol. He had all teeth and all claws. Had to be hand fed as his former owners taught him that. He wasn't tiny. About 40 pounds. I wish I had never worked there. I no longer believe in selling exotic animals.
My grandfather went missing and was found with his shoes and socks taken off and placed near him. By him or someone/something else, we will never know. The shoes have always been strange to us. Something about it. And it was decades ago that this happened, long before anyone knew about the missing phenomena.
I remember hearing a story awhile ago about this woman who was hiking and she said her feet became very hot but something told her not to take off her boots, she had a feeling something was following her. She was with her dog and could not find her way back to the path she was on she felt like she was trapped in something and there were strange cravings on the trees. She was hiking with three other woman then suddenly they were gone her dog was acting strange like he was scared. The woman filmed this on her phone, I saw the video but I can't seem to find it now I think where it was filmed was at Yosemite national park. That's all I know about it. She did get out of whatever strange thing she was trapped in.
I wonder, the taking off of shoes, if it’s the Earth’s magnetic field affecting their feet? If it’s “aliens”; when we walk barefoot the magnetic field flows through body; shoes on prevents it.
Maybe you could cover Julian Sands’ disappearance on Mount Baldy in CA in January? Sadly the searchers finally found his body just last month. He was a lone hiker too. He was experienced, but he went hiking alone.
Tl;dr Never ever go into an unpopulated area whether forest abandoned places or else; undefended and preferably in pairs or more. Going solo into an isolated places literally asking for trouble
I do and I'll admit it comes with risks. Even twisting an ankle bad can turn a day hike into an overnight. That combined with weather shifts, dangerous animals, getting lost all spell difficult to dire and maybe demise. Even knowing my limits the risk will never be zero.
@@thedoruk6324 I'm an agnostic when it comes to the unexplained (actually believer in God, though). Sasquatch, mothman, wendigo, dogman, skin walker - while SOME of the stories sound possible I am agnostic on it. WIth sasquatch why is it everyone has a camera but NEVER a gun? Is it more powerful than a Cape Buffalo or something? Those things do not keep me out of the woods and no one has been killed by a ghost. The Number One killer of hikers is exposure (hypothermia basically).
Oh my gosh YAY! You always post when I'm about to go for my hike, and it's perfect! You seriously make the BEST content of this kind, and your voice is so lovely!
‼️ What everyone forgets is the simplest answer that involves the least assumptions is correct. The average person walks 3mph. It usually takes five or six hours for a search party to start combing the area. If the person had continued walking instead of waiting when they realized they were lost they could be 15 to 20 miles away, waayyy outside the search range and hearing range by the time anyone was looking for them. And it would take the search party days to reach 12 mi out if they ever go that far at all. It's no mystery why all these people went missing. They didn't stay put the second they realized they were lost. They thought oh I'll follow the river or I heard moss grows on the northside of the trees or I can't be that far away, and kept walking. Until they died of hypothermia or hunger or thirst. Tragic but mostly not mysterious. That's far more likely than they just happened to get lost and then also somehow run into a serial killer in the middle of the woods 🙄 Serial killers are practicing in cities where there are a lot of people. They aren't wandering in the wilderness hoping that a victim of their type wanders into their area every few years. There's no such thing as aliens and bigfoot. Most of them made a mistake and kept walking or the person they were with lied and they were never in the woods at all to begin with. Just an easy way to cover up a murder or a drug overdose. Oh yeah my wife was definitely walking right next to me and then I turned around and she was gone when she had never been out there to begin with.
Smartest comment I've seen on this video so far. There are hundreds of potential things that could go wrong during a hike in the wilderness, and as you say it's super easy to go off in the wrong direction and end up miles and miles off course. Searching an area like that is incredibly time consuming so search areas are limited, and generally targeted at areas they expect them to be in. So if their expectations are wrong, eg the direction of travel, initial starting point, maximum distance they are expected to travel, then they will have very little chance of finding them.
@@scottwooledge6387 Definitely. I was caught outside in a huge thunder storm with hale the size of golf balls.. that moment was very humbling. You can't fight nature. Only try your best to survive.
I’ve hiked up Mt Roberts and all around there around Juneau . Lived right next to the head of Perseverance Trail . Snow camped in the middle of winter . That was before the 411 cases became so prevalent . And, as much as I loved all of it , I was almost equally as spooked much of the time .
As a Greek, regarding the story at 15:00 minute, our local police in remote regions are usually 2 middle aged villagers incapable of handling these situations unless state police and rescue is involved and usually it isn't mobilised on time. There are smugglers and immigrants that he may run into, the terrain isn't anywhere close to sandy beaches everywhere as there are rough cliffs and strong winds so drawing is a possibility. Also there is rough rock terrain as trails and its easy to get injured . Unexplained probably not, unsolved? Definitely
When i was hiking, i didnt have anyone to go with me. Either they worked, were busy or didnt want to go at that time. I always walked alone and really enjoyed it. I wasnt about to stay home, i never had any problems. Now, cant hike because i dont have a car and cant afford to get one. I sure loved hiking, im hoping to start again. If you want to hike, be prepared, don't use headphones and dress for the weather
There's a lot of channels just like yours, but yours is my favorite. I was like "I want the guy with the accent, his channel!" and I finally found you among my other subscriptions! I won't lose you again! lol
The first one, Sharon, was a good friend of my Uncle who lives in Juneau who is a massage therapist. They searched high and low. He told me the story when I went to visit him and hiked Mt Juneau and Thunder Mtn. They still search for her bodyevery year.
0:57 “biking from Alaska to Canada” you have to be more specific because the two places touch. You could technically bike 10 feet on the border of Canada and Alaska and claim this. Kind of like saying I walked from the kitchen to the living room
I noticed a common theme of "this person was highly intelligent." Well.. you can be highly intelligent and still go missing. All the variables. Being highly intelligent doesn't mean shit if their is no context. I'm highly intelligent, but I fell down and broke my leg. Then, a bear attacked me. So many variables, being highly intelligent, doesn't mean shit can not go sideways quickly.
David Paulides (you know the dude who writes books about the missing) says that is a common theme as well. Almost like highly intelligent people overestimate their abilities in the wilderness. I don't think its aliens or Bigfoot persecuting them. Although I'm on the fence on the existence of both. I just don't believe they're abducting highly intelligent people or people with disabilities. I dont rule out a person that murders people they encouter on the trails alone. It just makes perfect sense ppl with disabilities too would get hurt or lost.
What if there is something “otherworldly” taking people. Perhaps the people targeted possess a certain level of intelligence, blood type, or rare genes. Just a thought because I noticed that too.
Very scary disappeared with out a trace,wow very tense moment if that would someone's closed to me rest assured!! Keep it up keep it coming!! People's disappeared yearly be smart be with a group or a partner never separated or go alone... Love from St.Paul Minnesota u s.a..
I especially enjoyed the Bradshaw Ranch video you made a month ago. Be awesome if you did more videos covering different cases containing ufology and other high strangeness!
Quite a few US states including the state Coconino county, where I have lived, require a medical examiner to conduct an autopsy on all unattended deaths automatically so that really doesn’t mean anything.
As someone whose grandmother suffered from Parkinson I do wonder if they had an agreement to push the other or if he decided to end his life as sometimes they notice they have lost more of their motor control than they thought prior.
Animal scavenging/predation can move whole body parts quite a ways from a body, let alone some of the clothes. Have seen a deer reduced to bones and fur scattered over about 20 sq feet in one day by wolves. There wasn't even blood left. So I feel like the clothes being found "around" the body is a polite way to say that the body had been eaten and ripped apart. The media can't say certain things overtly because of offending people's families, but it can hint at it. Apparently when the body rots and comes apart the feet are one of the quickest things to separate from the main body too, they aren't too tightly attached and weigh quite a bit. So perhaps the shoes being found nearby once had feet in them but those were taken out and scavenged by things like squirrels which love to eat bones for the calcium.
@@MarieAllia The wolf research center in my home state worked with the US Federal government to do research on how quickly bodies decompose in the forest. They found that in summer under the right conditions with animal scavengers around there can be nothing noticeable left within as little as 3 days.
Kinda strange why they don't release cause of death in some of these, where the body is found in a different area of where they should of been, maybe a cover-up, kinda makes you wonder what happened
Just a heads up for you a little FYI, for the Grand canyon case it is Coconino county NOT Cocanini. In Arizona all bodies are examined by the county corner unless it is a death following a long illness or old age.
Thanks for this collection of true and rather creepy stories. I think that documentaries like this one will definitely open people's minds about this terrible worldwide phenomenon of people vanishing instantly and without any trace. The important thing is that you're reporting about cases in and around the U.K. ( instead of the huge numbers who have vanished in America, and worldwide). What's happening is simply " beyond our comprehension ". We,as a race are not advanced or sophisticated, for goodness sakes we were still travelling on steam trains, fairly recently !!!
Why do people go on solo hikes? Yes, they may want time alone etc but when or if something goes wrong they have nobody to help them , especially if they are hiking somewhere remote, we hear time and time again than even experienced hikers often go missing 🤷♀️🇬🇧
Corpsejumpers. Beings that can jump from one body to another. Depending on the ability of the corpsejumper, some can roam with out a body, find a suitable host, and jump into a person's body and hijack it for their own use. Depending on the beings temperament, they can just hitch hike along, they can cast the hosts spirit completely out of the body and make it it's own. Sometimes if they are in one body, they can switch bodies casting the spirit of their victim into their old body. They can also jump into the bodies of different animals. Usually the switch requires them to touch their victim, the more powerful ones can cast them selves at a distance. They usually prey on solo victims in secluded areas which the parks are perfect for their activities.
It’s time for people to ask what is inside those mountains and what is underground. Wake up people those are not just big rocks. Wake up. You can tell some are old melted buildings. What’s going on inside of them?
@@williambryant5946 Take a look at the Grand Canyon with new eyes. That’s just one example. There are loads of UA-camrs that do a good job showing you.
BINGO!! I've been thinking this for years brother!! I believe there is an unseen world that exists but we humans vibrate at a different frequency and cannot see it! Bigfoot researcher Dan Shirly does all his work in the Sierra Nevada and has discovered areas that are like a world within a world if that makes sense. Excellent Post!! I love it when people think outside the box👍
A dog search series would be most welcome. You seem to be one of the few that don't assume that search dogs are infallible. Dogs do tire and bloodhounds, apparently the most effective, are not used in every case. Then again, if handlers and dogs are directed in the wrong places, they will fail. Are those situations counted against them? What weather conditions go against effective dog searches?
Lots of hypothermia cases have resulted in people taking their boots off cus they thought their feet were on fire. I myself have had sever hypothermia twice in idaho and alaska. It makes you want to take your close off and shed everything luckily I had people with me that saved me.
Everytime I hear the description of a trail of apparently discarded pieces of gear and/or equipment it brings to mind the story of the experienced skier who went missing leaving a track on the mountain and across glacial crevasses that indicated he was in a wild flight of terror. Of what, we dont know because, as David Paulides points out, the success rate is %100..... And THAT is as Creepy AF!!!
The couple who encountered David said he seemed confused. You said he had hypertension. One reason we worry about hypertension is it can lead to strokes. Perhaps he had a stroke that disoriented him and he got lost.
I wonder though , if anyone she cared about or generally respected had told her about the 411 and that sort of thing , would she have listened ? My neighbors take their kids up into the Olympic Nat Park often and I’ve considered talking with them , but …
Missing 411 is a scam,do some research with the FOIA's then compare them to what David lies about vs the truth. Dennis Martins mother said that Paulidies NEVER talked to her husband.
Sure, but people tend to leave trail signs , personal effects, clothing fibers, etc. A trained ninja would have difficulty disappearing like these people do.
I am a little confused how they felt confident about cause of death on a body left out two years? And Ft Knox Kentucky is not the sort of climate that perseveres flash. To the contrary it’s hot and cold and wet. So saying “no signs of a struggle” is weird since I doubt cuts and bruises can still be identified after two years of decomposition and exposure to events and scavengers. I am also curious if the state of the body was consistent with him being dead two years?
I've done searches for personnel and misplaced weapons with the Army, and when they mean thousands of people it's got to be true. The base commander would have ordered it, and when we do a sweep we're talking at arms length extension. (Both arms out to your side wide) in columns. Slowly walking forward, with nobody moving ahead or falling behind. You wouldn't be able to lose a wedding ring with this kind of sweep. They would have done this forward and back, for days, weeks. It's just not possible that he was found in a search area unless he was removed and dropped off there before and after the search, or he had vanished from the Earth during the search.
Tracking dogs couldn't pick up Bruce's scent because he was never there, wife was tired of taking care of him with his disability and decided to maybe collect life insurance...
Hello again it's all is human beings who are being evil and people who are not sure what they are doing in the bigout doors that is what I want to say about what is going on there in the world 🌎
What if Bruce never was there and Louise killed him and used the hike as a cover up? Anyone ever question her as a suspect? I would have I mean it’s to obvious.
Any reference to that french-spain border incident? Because i never heard of it. Here in europe you usually have an excellent coverage about even minor mountain accidents, so i wonder why i never heard of this one. Just an example, was hiking yesterday in Austria's alps, saw 2 SAR heli rescuing a person, it's in all sort of newspapers today (was luckily just a bone fracture)

I was not aware that when you reach the age of 50 you’re considered elderly. That itself is more scary than the stories themselves.

Yeah I did think that when I first read it haha
Haha funny. Young people told me when I was 64 how young I looked and I did. Not greatly though now after years of stress and major operations.
50 I see as young. Some 50s I see look pretty unfortunate though. (Genetics and lifestyle and all that).
Elderly is 80+ to me. Hospice aged at best.
Maybe back then 50 was old. People barely lived that long a few generations back.
50 is the new 30.

A large number of missing cases are explainable by 2 factors
1) Solo hikers venture out ill prepared & experience falls & broken limbs which hamper recovery & fall prey to wild animals especially lynx or cougar & bears -
2) Solo hikers are tracked by serial killers who live in the wilds & as you accurately point out are absconded into remote caves & underground dwellings never to be seen again.
The film Bone Tomahawk which left me feeling disturbed for some time highlights this well known by US Park Rangers’ regular occurrence.

If you go solo hiking anywhere in the State Parks & woods of the US, you’re an idiot inviting trouble.
That’s my mind on the matter.

@@paulfitzpatrick6566 i 100% agree to all you say about serial killers. Some are extreme loners and would love living in caves waiting for prey like a spider builds a web to catch a moth at night. I love on 27 acres in NE Texas. Mostly wooded as I refused to let my husband clear cut it. I wanted to keep a wildlife refuge for deer and other animals as we have a huge pond where they can come and drink. I have walked right beside a young rabbit who just stayed still. Was such a cool experience. Crazy its all pine trees here for the most part. But our soil is like powder. Had roadrunners here ! And coyotes. If you ever saw the cartoons about the coyote and roadrunner. Was driving down the road and a road runner was racing me. The cougar walked across our driveway. I know she smelled us. About 20 or 30 yards away. We just watched her pass and went on about our business. Then my husband discovered Bob cat kittens. Thought they were house cat type. Until he heard a warning growl and said ok mama im leaving I wont bother your babies and backed away. Main thing is never turn your back on a wild potentially dangerous animal and never run . It makes you prey to them if you run. Kittens had pretty blue eyes. Hubby was met by our local coyote pack under the big light he put up at our private rd. He just stood up taller and put his hands up high and yelled get out of here!! I love those guys. When they run through at night you can hear their young ones yapping as they go. I get a giggle. We had two foxes that came here to escape a fire we had in Texas nearby. One barked at me. Sounds like a cough. It was dark so I thought it was a dog coughing from smoke im outside saying come here puppy come on. I found out by Google it was a fox. Then the two came and hubby was cleaning a wild boar he killed and they waited 20 feet from him for him to toss a piece of hog to them which he did. One was laying near our rd in a pasture and i stopped my vehicle and spoke to him. Told him he was pretty, was welcomed to lie there and stay with us and his mate too. Then I drove off and left him in piece. Hubby was feeding one at his job. She came in the shop and eventually took food from his hand. She had babies the dad started showing up and they took food to their babies. Someone had dumped kittens there. They fox never hurt them. Even the police were feeding the kittens. Most wildlife wont bother you unless you scare them or make them protective of their young nearby. Look up how many cougar attacks there have been in the US in 5 years or so. Its a small amount. The bib cats are different. I had to care for some at an exotics pet shop. Had to wear thick leather gloves to pick them up to get them into a carrier to clean their cage. They hissed and spit and growled. I wasn't crazy about them. But the 4 month old tiger I cared for was a hoot! He gnawed on me gently. And I would throw a cardboard box down the end of the back of the display cases for him to chase and destroy. Then it was back to my knee caps and shoulder blades lol. He had all teeth and all claws. Had to be hand fed as his former owners taught him that. He wasn't tiny. About 40 pounds. I wish I had never worked there. I no longer believe in selling exotic animals.
@@paulfitzpatrick6566 i agree about the idiot part. I wont even walk in my own wooded acres alone.
@@RepentfollowJesus wise lady
My grandfather went missing and was found with his shoes and socks taken off and placed near him. By him or someone/something else, we will never know.
The shoes have always been strange to us. Something about it. And it was decades ago that this happened, long before anyone knew about the missing phenomena.
It's always a good day when Top Mysteries drop a film. Even better with a compilation. Thank you Adam
Most welcome :)
@@MissingVoidTV I agree brother, your voice is very calming and your content is always well referenced and researched.
@@MissingVoidTVGreat work I highly agree 🪄✨
I remember hearing a story awhile ago about this woman who was hiking and she said her feet became very hot but something told her not to take off her boots, she had a feeling something was following her. She was with her dog and could not find her way back to the path she was on she felt like she was trapped in something and there were strange cravings on the trees. She was hiking with three other woman then suddenly they were gone her dog was acting strange like he was scared. The woman filmed this on her phone, I saw the video but I can't seem to find it now I think where it was filmed was at Yosemite national park. That's all I know about it. She did get out of whatever strange thing she was trapped in.
I think this is very relevant to a lot of these disappearances
I wonder, the taking off of shoes, if it’s the Earth’s magnetic field affecting their feet? If it’s “aliens”; when we walk barefoot the magnetic field flows through body; shoes on prevents it.
Strange cravings on the trees??? What does that even mean???
@@Cricket9579probably meant strange carvings
@@illuminatedsoles331yes. Theyvare demonic entities and these experiences give us an idea of their modus operandi.
I really think many of these people accidentally come across portals or vortexes.
It’s possible. You ever heard of Timothy Alberino?
Maybe you could cover Julian Sands’ disappearance on Mount Baldy in CA in January? Sadly the searchers finally found his body just last month. He was a lone hiker too. He was experienced, but he went hiking alone.
Tl;dr Never ever go into an unpopulated area whether forest abandoned places or else; undefended and preferably in pairs or more. Going solo into an isolated places literally asking for trouble
I do and I'll admit it comes with risks. Even twisting an ankle bad can turn a day hike into an overnight. That combined with weather shifts, dangerous animals, getting lost all spell difficult to dire and maybe demise. Even knowing my limits the risk will never be zero.
@@sstritmatter2158 Even without the unexplained undiscovered and supernatural phenomena going solo throughout the sheer isolation is highly risky
Yes! Stop splitting up at the worst time too lol
Depends largely on your survival skills set. I've camped in isolated areas with minimal equipment, but I always carry an epirb withh me just in case.
@@thedoruk6324 I'm an agnostic when it comes to the unexplained (actually believer in God, though). Sasquatch, mothman, wendigo, dogman, skin walker - while SOME of the stories sound possible I am agnostic on it. WIth sasquatch why is it everyone has a camera but NEVER a gun? Is it more powerful than a Cape Buffalo or something? Those things do not keep me out of the woods and no one has been killed by a ghost. The Number One killer of hikers is exposure (hypothermia basically).
Oh my gosh YAY! You always post when I'm about to go for my hike, and it's perfect! You seriously make the BEST content of this kind, and your voice is so lovely!
Glad to be of service 😂
@@MissingVoidTV 😆 now I'm going to finish the rest before bed! Thank you SO much for your awesome videos, and I hope you're doing well!
‼️ What everyone forgets is the simplest answer that involves the least assumptions is correct. The average person walks 3mph. It usually takes five or six hours for a search party to start combing the area. If the person had continued walking instead of waiting when they realized they were lost they could be 15 to 20 miles away, waayyy outside the search range and hearing range by the time anyone was looking for them. And it would take the search party days to reach 12 mi out if they ever go that far at all. It's no mystery why all these people went missing. They didn't stay put the second they realized they were lost. They thought oh I'll follow the river or I heard moss grows on the northside of the trees or I can't be that far away, and kept walking. Until they died of hypothermia or hunger or thirst. Tragic but mostly not mysterious. That's far more likely than they just happened to get lost and then also somehow run into a serial killer in the middle of the woods 🙄
Serial killers are practicing in cities where there are a lot of people. They aren't wandering in the wilderness hoping that a victim of their type wanders into their area every few years. There's no such thing as aliens and bigfoot. Most of them made a mistake and kept walking or the person they were with lied and they were never in the woods at all to begin with.
Just an easy way to cover up a murder or a drug overdose. Oh yeah my wife was definitely walking right next to me and then I turned around and she was gone when she had never been out there to begin with.
I can assure you bigfoot exists.
Ok, so all the credible people who have seen Bigfoot are just stuck on stupid???
Gosh ! I'm glad you cleared that up for us ! 🤣🤣🤣
Smartest comment I've seen on this video so far. There are hundreds of potential things that could go wrong during a hike in the wilderness, and as you say it's super easy to go off in the wrong direction and end up miles and miles off course. Searching an area like that is incredibly time consuming so search areas are limited, and generally targeted at areas they expect them to be in. So if their expectations are wrong, eg the direction of travel, initial starting point, maximum distance they are expected to travel, then they will have very little chance of finding them.
@@billgerard4687 and more dangerous the Faceeater or Gugwe so efficient a killer that its existence is barely acknowledged.
I'm not a fan of people going on solo hikes.. the "nothing's going to happen to me" mentality is very fatal..
Great comp, Thank You ❤
Agreed! People are so desensitized these days its not even funny!
Yeah, experience doesn't equal immunity
Experience can work against survival. Seems like a good number of people get overconfident and forget mother nature is a bitch.
@@scottwooledge6387 Definitely. I was caught outside in a huge thunder storm with hale the size of golf balls.. that moment was very humbling. You can't fight nature. Only try your best to survive.
I’ve hiked up Mt Roberts and all around there around Juneau . Lived right next to the head of Perseverance Trail . Snow camped in the middle of winter . That was before the 411 cases became so prevalent . And, as much as I loved all of it , I was almost equally as spooked much of the time .
Paulides really exaggerates to make money and sell his books and never comes back to explain when there is a logical explanation.
Of course pick you're hiking mate carefully toos besures they don't run out on you ! When in need!! ECT.
Thank you for making this video. Very terrifying, this could be any of us missing a loved 0ne or friend.
Be safe~🌎🕊🌍
As a Greek, regarding the story at 15:00 minute, our local police in remote regions are usually 2 middle aged villagers incapable of handling these situations unless state police and rescue is involved and usually it isn't mobilised on time. There are smugglers and immigrants that he may run into, the terrain isn't anywhere close to sandy beaches everywhere as there are rough cliffs and strong winds so drawing is a possibility. Also there is rough rock terrain as trails and its easy to get injured . Unexplained probably not, unsolved? Definitely
When i was hiking, i didnt have anyone to go with me. Either they worked, were busy or didnt want to go at that time. I always walked alone and really enjoyed it. I wasnt about to stay home, i never had any problems. Now, cant hike because i dont have a car and cant afford to get one. I sure loved hiking, im hoping to start again. If you want to hike, be prepared, don't use headphones and dress for the weather
Adam, if you get time maybe you could do an updated video on some new Manchester Canal cases.....
I'll take another look at it
There's a lot of channels just like yours, but yours is my favorite. I was like "I want the guy with the accent, his channel!" and I finally found you among my other subscriptions! I won't lose you again! lol
Ohhh yes. So glad I check to see if you posted. Always love hearing the missing hiker stories. Always get me thinking
The first one, Sharon, was a good friend of my Uncle who lives in Juneau who is a massage therapist. They searched high and low. He told me the story when I went to visit him and hiked Mt Juneau and Thunder Mtn. They still search for her bodyevery year.
Shouldn't laugh, but the UK cops going to a beautiful tiny Greek island "to help search" gave me a snigger. 😏
0:57 “biking from Alaska to Canada” you have to be more specific because the two places touch. You could technically bike 10 feet on the border of Canada and Alaska and claim this. Kind of like saying I walked from the kitchen to the living room
Seems to me that something has a hatred of experienced and competent hikers. Note to self: do not become a competent hiker, and never hike alone.
Everyone was " too smart" to get lost.
Hands down the best channel on this subject....missing 411
I noticed a common theme of "this person was highly intelligent."
Well.. you can be highly intelligent and still go missing. All the variables. Being highly intelligent doesn't mean shit if their is no context. I'm highly intelligent, but I fell down and broke my leg. Then, a bear attacked me. So many variables, being highly intelligent, doesn't mean shit can not go sideways quickly.
David Paulides (you know the dude who writes books about the missing) says that is a common theme as well. Almost like highly intelligent people overestimate their abilities in the wilderness. I don't think its aliens or Bigfoot persecuting them. Although I'm on the fence on the existence of both. I just don't believe they're abducting highly intelligent people or people with disabilities. I dont rule out a person that murders people they encouter on the trails alone. It just makes perfect sense ppl with disabilities too would get hurt or lost.
Yeah it's a load of garbage. Anyone can go missing.
What if there is something “otherworldly” taking people. Perhaps the people targeted possess a certain level of intelligence, blood type, or rare genes. Just a thought because I noticed that too.
@@ElDuffman love it.
Oh no, I have only just noticed there is a new video, I will watch it tomorrow now, looking forward to it, I know it will be worth the wait 😍🇬🇧
Thank you, Adam for the upload! Have a beautiful weekend! ❤🌻
Thanks Cosmic, you too :)
Very scary disappeared with out a trace,wow very tense moment if that would someone's closed to me rest assured!! Keep it up keep it coming!! People's disappeared yearly be smart be with a group or a partner never separated or go alone... Love from St.Paul Minnesota u s.a..
I especially enjoyed the Bradshaw Ranch video you made a month ago. Be awesome if you did more videos covering different cases containing ufology and other high strangeness!
As Always Excellent a good long episode one on a Friday afternoon in the US, Great Job
Quite a few US states including the state Coconino county, where I have lived, require a medical examiner to conduct an autopsy on all unattended deaths automatically so that really doesn’t mean anything.
..."including the state Coconino county ..." ?
Thanks Adam, always great videos.
Excited for every video you post.😁
Awesome as always thanks

Animal scavenging/predation can move whole body parts quite a ways from a body, let alone some of the clothes. Have seen a deer reduced to bones and fur scattered over about 20 sq feet in one day by wolves. There wasn't even blood left. So I feel like the clothes being found "around" the body is a polite way to say that the body had been eaten and ripped apart. The media can't say certain things overtly because of offending people's families, but it can hint at it.
Apparently when the body rots and comes apart the feet are one of the quickest things to separate from the main body too, they aren't too tightly attached and weigh quite a bit. So perhaps the shoes being found nearby once had feet in them but those were taken out and scavenged by things like squirrels which love to eat bones for the calcium.
My grandfather’s shoes and folded socks were neatly, dare I say purposefully, placed almost right next to his body at the height of his head.
@@shay4ojibwa638 not saying it can't be something else sometimes. Just pointing out that most cases are probably normal decomp.
Yep. Their deaths may not be the result of animal prédation, but, the fact we can't find a body may be caused by scavenging animals
@@MarieAllia The wolf research center in my home state worked with the US Federal government to do research on how quickly bodies decompose in the forest. They found that in summer under the right conditions with animal scavengers around there can be nothing noticeable left within as little as 3 days.
@@shay4ojibwa638 that's disturbing, and obviously unusual, but I don't know enough about the case you're discussing to say more.
Kinda strange why they don't release cause of death in some of these, where the body is found in a different area of where they should of been, maybe a cover-up, kinda makes you wonder what happened
Amazing content! ❤
Bottom line, you go in willingly (your decision on equipment/plan left for others) and that's it. Your call as the woods will try and swallow you.
missing void drinking game- one shot every time he describes a person as "highly intelligent". soused 5 minutes in.
David Wood in France sounds like he deliberately gave his partner wrong information and left to find a new life.
In Tasmania the Tassie Devils will devour body’s bones and all. If he slipped down under shrubs and died he will never be found.
Excellent reporting. Thanks
Can't Imagine the Pain , Feeling and knowing you are leaving One Behind .
Just a heads up for you a little FYI, for the Grand canyon case it is Coconino county NOT Cocanini. In Arizona all bodies are examined by the county corner unless it is a death following a long illness or old age.
It is coroner, NOT corner. Thank you. 😂
Thanks for this collection of true and rather creepy stories. I think that documentaries like this one will definitely open people's minds about this terrible worldwide phenomenon of people vanishing instantly and without any trace. The important thing is that you're reporting about cases in and around the U.K. ( instead of the huge numbers who have vanished in America, and worldwide). What's happening is simply " beyond our comprehension ". We,as a race are not advanced or sophisticated, for goodness sakes we were still travelling on steam trains, fairly recently !!!
People don't realize that the "predators" are real (the Yautja). The greatest lie the devil told was that he wasn't real, was that he was "fiction".
Why do people go on solo hikes? Yes, they may want time alone etc but when or if something goes wrong they have nobody to help them , especially if they are hiking somewhere remote, we hear time and time again than even experienced hikers often go missing 🤷♀️🇬🇧
lady who supposedly fell off the cliff what does it mean indecent assaults?
Usually refers to s*xual assault or r*pe but UA-cam doesn’t like those words
Awesome video! You're my favorite Missing 411 youtuber, behind only David Paulides of course!
Regarding Bruce, never leave a disabled person alone during, shopping, hiking, at a party etc.

Thank you so very much. 👍🏻

Corpsejumpers. Beings that can jump from one body to another. Depending on the ability of the corpsejumper, some can roam with out a body, find a suitable host, and jump into a person's body and hijack it for their own use. Depending on the beings temperament, they can just hitch hike along, they can cast the hosts spirit completely out of the body and make it it's own. Sometimes if they are in one body, they can switch bodies casting the spirit of their victim into their old body. They can also jump into the bodies of different animals. Usually the switch requires them to touch their victim, the more powerful ones can cast them selves at a distance. They usually prey on solo victims in secluded areas which the parks are perfect for their activities.
Yes! There is something strange going on. Thanks for that insight I never heard before.
Nonsense
Yay, another video from Adam. 😊
It’s time for people to ask what is inside those mountains and what is underground. Wake up people those are not just big rocks. Wake up. You can tell some are old melted buildings. What’s going on inside of them?
Which ones looked like melted buildings exactly? I'm truly interested in your opinion and not trying to be an ass.
@@williambryant5946 Take a look at the Grand Canyon with new eyes. That’s just one example. There are loads of UA-camrs that do a good job showing you.
No. Don't watch mud fossil university.. it will rot your mind..
BINGO!! I've been thinking this for years brother!! I believe there is an unseen world that exists but we humans vibrate at a different frequency and cannot see it! Bigfoot researcher Dan Shirly does all his work in the Sierra Nevada and has discovered areas that are like a world within a world if that makes sense. Excellent Post!! I love it when people think outside the box👍
@@markpettie681 Any channel covering this subject? I am interested.
No one is fit when a bear is chasing you.
A dog search series would be most welcome. You seem to be one of the few that don't assume that search dogs are infallible. Dogs do tire and bloodhounds, apparently the most effective, are not used in every case. Then again, if handlers and dogs are directed in the wrong places, they will fail. Are those situations counted against them? What weather conditions go against effective dog searches?
HIPPA might apply after death, but somebody should try to find out if these people had gotten a bad prognosis recently, and chose to go missing.
That's what I'd do if I had some sort of cancer I'd walk into the woods and never come back..
Great video Adam. In 2 wks im going to New York to the area that Tom Messick went missing.
Lots of hypothermia cases have resulted in people taking their boots off cus they thought their feet were on fire. I myself have had sever hypothermia twice in idaho and alaska. It makes you want to take your close off and shed everything luckily I had people with me that saved me.
Everytime I hear the description of a trail of apparently discarded pieces of gear and/or equipment it brings to mind the story of the experienced skier who went missing leaving a track on the mountain and across glacial crevasses that indicated he was in a wild flight of terror.
Of what, we dont know because, as David Paulides points out, the success rate is %100.....
And THAT is as Creepy AF!!!
David says that,no one else period said that about that case but him.He lies a lot.
100% of what? I can't make sense of the grammar sorry!
thanks
The couple who encountered David said he seemed confused. You said he had hypertension. One reason we worry about hypertension is it can lead to strokes. Perhaps he had a stroke that disoriented him and he got lost.
Your a great story teller. Do us a favor and research new age readers. You will awaken our collective consciousness and solve these cases.
I wonder though , if anyone she cared about or generally respected had told her about the 411 and that sort of thing , would she have listened ? My neighbors take their kids up into the Olympic Nat Park often and I’ve considered talking with them , but …
Missing 411 is a scam,do some research with the FOIA's then compare them to what David lies about vs the truth.
Dennis Martins mother said that Paulidies NEVER talked to her husband.
Thinking if you know your neighbours well enough l would mention something to them just in case. 😊

They are expendable
Thank you. Adam.

Reports that don’t ever seem to take a step forward.
It's possible that some of these disappearances may actually be voluntarily made. For whatever reason, still a possibility.
Sure, but people tend to leave trail signs , personal effects, clothing fibers, etc. A trained ninja would have difficulty disappearing like these people do.
Brand new video, yes!!!!

Best channel!
I am a little confused how they felt confident about cause of death on a body left out two years? And Ft Knox Kentucky is not the sort of climate that perseveres flash. To the contrary it’s hot and cold and wet. So saying “no signs of a struggle” is weird since I doubt cuts and bruises can still be identified after two years of decomposition and exposure to events and scavengers. I am also curious if the state of the body was consistent with him being dead two years?
I've done searches for personnel and misplaced weapons with the Army, and when they mean thousands of people it's got to be true. The base commander would have ordered it, and when we do a sweep we're talking at arms length extension. (Both arms out to your side wide) in columns. Slowly walking forward, with nobody moving ahead or falling behind. You wouldn't be able to lose a wedding ring with this kind of sweep. They would have done this forward and back, for days, weeks. It's just not possible that he was found in a search area unless he was removed and dropped off there before and after the search, or he had vanished from the Earth during the search.
they are placed there by an intelligent predator which wants humans to pack up and leave the area

Any reference to that french-spain border incident? Because i never heard of it. Here in europe you usually have an excellent coverage about even minor mountain accidents, so i wonder why i never heard of this one.
