Over the last decade, the Australian state of Victoria has been the scene of multiple unexplained disappearances. What is happening to the people who vanish into this region’s isolated, rural areas, and could a mysterious figure potentially hold the key to uncovering their fates? This week, we explore the Mystery of the High Country.

Somewhere an old man is whittling a button on a mountain in AUS, totally unaware he has become a folklore legend with videos about his existence.
Nor does he care
I laughed at the notion. What a life.
Living the dream, truly.
Yes, and he chuckles to himself and shakes his bowed head, in its worn old cowboy hat, when he thinks about that little trick he once played, on a lone camper. He’d come up on the man who never even knew he was there - city dweller - so close if he’d been a buck, he’d have been plugged before he knew it. He had snuck into his tent and shot him - a picture of the man, that is - with the man’s own camera. He gets a little kick out of thinking how the man must’ve been surprised when he found out and couldn’t figure out how it happened on a lonely old Gold Rush trail in the Bush, a place forgotten by everybody... well, almost everybody
@@-Reagan What? 🤣 Duh, you got any gum?
Omg that would be so freaky from the photographers end.
I'm imagining it from Button Man's perspective too though. I mean if he knew this guy was trying to take his pic for days, it's really the ultimate troll move to sneak in and take a pics of the photographer with his own camera instead.
I can't help but kinda laugh a little bit. Well played, Button Man.
I thought the same thing XD
the photographer got outplayed
Exactly, it's not really a mystery, it's just funny (from the Button Man's end anyway).
Thought the same, seems like an anti-social bushman's idea of a good prank.
See, to be able to enter a tent take a picture put camera back in its case perhaps suggests some special skills.
Military, SaS, Navy Seal type of training?
These stories are what I go to sleep with
Me too
Same, and I also work to them as background noise lol
same, they actually helped my insomnia.
Same here
Well the channel is called Bedtime Stories so that makes sense.
You can easily fall down a gully in such bush country and never be found, nothing more than a bad accident and you're gone....
Until it’s standing over you taking your picture while you sleep
Yes but doesn't explain the peoples missing gear.
Surely falling down a ravine /gully perhaps would leave something behind?
At least one object, a bag, water bottle, phone etc.
Seems everything goes missing?....
@@stuartd9741 when you're hiking you have everything packed away and attached to your person.
If I fell down a gully with a back pack, rifle on my shoulder and a phone in my pocket, I'm gonna be at the bottom of a gully, with a backpack, a rifle and a mobile phone in my pocket.
Andrew Hogg Exactly! Duh! Not hard to figure out, is it?
I agree to a point.... thing is searchers just dont walk tracks, they often abseiling gullies and ravines in logical fashion looking for any evidence
*people are going missing in the Australian wilderness*
*the main suspects are human*
Drop Bears rubbing their paws together gleefully. "Good... good..."
I know right. People don't understand the how real the drop bear threat is.
whats a drop bear?
Jim Bracknell so it seems it’s a killer koala bear, a little evil fucker who drops onto strangers and kills them
its amazing how many people don't realise how dangerous drop bear attacks are - Vegemite is popular for a reason!!! If you don't eat it or smear some behind your ears you're a goner.
@@jimbracknell5648 drop bears are your worst nightmare...
Unfortunately there is such a thing as an experts folly, people who are extremely experienced in doing something sometimes don’t think they need to follow all safety precautions and end up taking unnecessary risks
I think this is the cause of some deaths, alongside the mountain itself and it’s fauna.
The button man seems like a harmless hermit, who just wants to be left alone but will sometimes steal food and water to survive.
Agree
You're a fool if you don't get your hands on an easy meal. And clean water to boot. Lucky he only took half.
It's called complacency
5:20 This is why you do not sleep alone outdoors. Seriously, don't do it. We invented robust homes with locked doors for a reason. If you want to be outdoors, do so with other people, sharing the great experience, and always be watching each other. It is not just protection in the dark of night, but also salvation if you have a critical medical emergency. Also have the best friend a camp could ask for: a vigilant dog or two. They have guarded us in our sleep for generations, and you will find far fewer people have ever been killed sleeping outdoors when they had dogs with them.
Some of the best advice I've ever read. Mankind could never have gotten as far as we have without the faithful dog. I guess that means they're to blame for the mess we've made? 😉
@@h.calvert3165 Nah, don't blame the faithful employees for management errors. Dogs just did exactly what we asked them to do! Well, most of the time since I don't recall asking one to use my shoe as a toilet... :)

LOL! Oh, well. Anybody can mess up! 🤣
Dude when I sleep out side I set up around 50 claymores, 12 anti tank mines, 2 sentry guns and about 1200 trip flares. Oh and I sleep in a tiger tank.
Taking his picture with his camera reminds me of the story in the Bible where David snuck in and cut the edge off king Sauls garment. Also not stealing all his food and water says, "I meant you no harm. See? I could have, but I didn't."
Still unnerving as hell tho. Lol
that's trolling 101
@@wangstanation6400 probably the origin of trolling
He don't need to steal food he hunts with a crossbow. He also probably likes the taste of human flesh.
The idea is he doesn’t want you to come back.
@@pinchevulpes Yeah, sounds like he's giving a warning!
My mum grew up in this area, just across the border into NSW, and I just asked her if she knew about the Button Man. She super nonchalantly said yes, and that the Alpine region (of both VIC and NSW) are incredibly remote with some "bad people" living there (her words). She says she doesn't remember much about the Button Man, but she is certain that she has heard the name. I'm going to ask my grandma about him as well to see if she remembers anything.
I'll provide an update as soon as I learn anything.
Edit: Turns out mum read something on the Button Man because it had to do with the area she grew up in. I did ask my grandma, but she looked at me quizzically as she had left the area /after/ he became well known. That said, she did mention that due to the remoteness of the area, it would attract people who didn't want to be found/left alone.
I also forgot to mention the other urban legend in the area, known as the "child buyer," who would (as the name would suggest) buy children as farmers would cattle. Apparently parents would tell their children that they would sell them to the child buyer if they misbehaved. Not gonna lie, it has some seriously creep undertones to it...
@@nosesonroses Pedophiles buying kids sadly isn't all that uncommon.
Black Adder yeah, I know, which is seriously messed up. Although, fortunately, there wasn’t a kid buyer in the local area, and none of the kids ever disappeared.
You have an awesome username, my lord
@@nosesonroses Sounds like a local variant of 'Old Boney' (Napoleon Bonaparte) or other characters dreamed up to scare children into behaving.
Any update?
Escaped mental patient in the hills
Coroner: Wasn't him. Prolly ghosts.
Definitely aliens. Bwwwaaaaaaa...
Not all mental patients are dangerous
This Australia we're talking about. They probably got caught in a giant spider web and eaten, or were ambushed by a pack of drop bears
Plot twist: coroner is the killer
Keep in mind that usually, mental patients are the victims rather than the perpetrators of violence
Okaaay, why does the name “Button Man” which should sound harmless and playful sound sinister and terrifying?
formless777 I certainly wouldn’t want to find him in my tent in the middle of nowhere, would you?
@@angelatheriault8855 Why, hello there.
Maybe because "Button Man" is American slang for a hitman ?
MR. Maestro, hats? Hats... interesting
Renato Visentin oh that’s just great! A nature-loving, creepy wandering hitman!
The Button Man seems like a chill dude. Probably sleeps in people camps because as much as a man might shun society we are social animals, and the taking pictures of the photographer while he slept was probably his idea of a harmless prank.
Yeah, he just got a kick out of letting the guy know that he was there
Button man: trying to take pictures of me eh?...let's see about that
Button Man: an OG troll.
It's funny because while you can clearly see him thinking it would be harmless, you can also clearly see why the dude would be super freaked out finding the pictures.
Chill until he stabs you lol
That twenty two minutes went by very quickly. Very interesting and eerie story. Sounds similar to disappearances in US national parks.
The moral here is....don’t go hunting, shooting, fishing, hiking or camping in the mountains. You may not return!!!!!
Advice: stay at home with dog and the fireplace!
@@notasgood459 sounds way more enjoyable anyway!
Yosemite is missing persons capitol of the world !!
The moralnhere is don't go hunting, shooting, fishing, hiking or camping in the mountains unprepared. Don't go alone, don't go without enough water, don't go without knowing what to expect.

I have an Uncle who mysteriously disappeared in the woods of Montebello, Québec back in the summer of 2004. Went out for a stroll to pick mushrooms and never came back, this episode reminded me a lot of that event.
I have a friend whose father just went out for a stroll one day and never came back! Although they believe he went on his will but they still want some closure though
Was your uncle called Raymond by any chance?....... Also sorry for your loss.
That’s a long trip
Did your uncle WANT to go? Trouble at home? Tired of being a family man? Asking because it's a colloquialism that someone abandoning their family is often phrased as "he went out for a pack of cigarettes/some milk and never came back".
@@druidriley3163 I know of the story , i believe his uncle is Raymond Herztschuch and he went mushroom picking whilst on holiday. Rumours about him running afoul of marijuana growers were passed around (similar to this case) which were dismissed by his wife Mrs Lapointe (OP's username ends with Lap giving me a clue to which case he was refering to and the mushroom picking part and year and location) but she does think he was a victim of foul play. All in all its a very sad story and i pray his family including OP get some closure and answers.
Back in the 1990s, I would often go bushwalking and camping in the Alpine National Park. But there are some simple rules that must be followed and people are always advised but are often ignored. 1. Plan your trip and fill out an "Intentions Form" leave this with a trusted person. 2. Fill out the book that is placed along walking tracks. It is easy to get lost. This happened to me once, I thought I was on the right track but I wasn't. I used my map reading skills to get back to my camping ground. Back then the GPS was new and chewed up batteries. The guy at the Melbourne Map Shop advised me against buying one. If I was going bushwalking again I would probably have a modern GPS plus a map and compass.
I would put the majority disappearances to lack of knowledge and filing a proper intentions report. Weather can change very fast without warning. On one visit It went from 30C sunny to misty and freezing.
That being said the Alpine Nationa Park is so beautiful and if you have a chance then visit.
I’m trying to listen to this to go to sleep but it’s kind of hard to when you live in the place this guy is talking about... even if it’s 7 in the morning 💀💀
Just hope you don't open your door one day and find a carved button on the ground 😮
Any way you can legally buy a sidearm?
@@NodDisciple1 Yes but the checks and balances are insane. Can't take them out with you (legally at least). Only supposed to be taking them from home to go to gun ranges, etc. It's illegal to use firearms for self defence in this country. It's absolutely ridiculous if you ask me tbh.
Stay safe!
@Laura Hamilton. Seeing the news from Victoria during covid it looks like your police are the thing to be really worried about. I'd rather be attacked by a ravenous pack of drop bears 🐨
I'm surprised that Yowie's weren't mentioned
There's a bigfoot variant in almost every forest in the world ... It would get quite redundant
I agree! When my Dad was a teenager, he saw a Big Hairy Man when camping in the Blue Mountains.
formless777 lol, now that’s an obscure reference.
formless777 where can you even buy those nowadays? I never see them anymore
Rori Tudor i sometimes see them in Woolworths.
I always felt the messages of condolences at the end of episodes like this is what sets this channel apart from the others. Bedtime Stories truly is a cut above the rest.
A very interesting story. Also I look forward seeing your second channel Wartime stories that I'm excited for.

As always, the illustrations are mesmerising. 🥰🥰🥰
I was initially confused about the “Button Man” using deer antlers, since deer aren’t naturally occurring in Australia. Apparently there are several populations of deer species introduced to the island country from elsewhere.
Occurring? As far as I know deer are called pests in Australia so I think we're talking about very big populations
multiple species of feral deer are a big problem across south eastern mainland australia and tasmania.
He uses kangaroo antlers. and don't tell me kangaroos don't have antlers, buddy, because that is only a racist stereotype.
There's deer nearly everywhere in Australia. I nearly hit one two weeks ago on a main road near Canberra (our capital city) and yeah they are a massive pest.
@@coyotesmile8972 🤣🤣🤣
I am so happy whenever you have paid promotions. You deserve it. You guys are so underrated but one of the best in this genre and platform
I wonder if the Button Man is a Vietnam War era soldier who just wants to be left alone.
lol people who want to be left alone don't enter other peoples campsites to sleep beside them
Maybe an aboringine
I actually enjoy this theory. From what is told in this video and in some articles written on newspapers, this guy can moves through the toughest terrain with the competence and stamina of someone half his age, he's only seen when he wants to and knows the area very well. He may have acquired this kind of competence and experience in the deep jungles of Vietnam, at least it seems likely to me.

Poisonous spiders & venomous snakes: *munching popcorns*
LOL!! HI-larry-us!!

Poison is ingested and venom is injected, so spiders and snakes are both venomous. 🙂
Don't forget those kangaroos... Shady bunch with pockets
Australia wasn't meant for people the signs couldn't be more clear. They have a venomous spider that lives in toilets FFS! It's not uncommon for guys to go to hospital because they've say down for a crap only for an 8 legged monster to bite them right on their tadger!

There's those cop shows where the suspect is so innocent-sounding, maybe even looking as well, and no one believes that they're the killer or rapist or whatever until there's damning evidence that links them. And in one split second their personality goes from sweet little innocent lamb to violent murderous fiend. Those particular episodes are really good, btw.
Usually these cases are set in a past, give or take a few years. The fact that this is so recent makes it all the more frightening.
It's much to soon on the case of the disappeared pensioners, it will be solved soon imo
Are disappearances really that mysterious if they take place in areas of uninhabited wilderness, miles from infrastructure and human interference?
Yeah sometimes.
Until they're found, their whereabouts remain a mystery. Are ghosts or UFOs or bigfoot involved? I doubt it. Probably they got lost off-trail, died of thirst/starvation/exposure, and have long since been consumed by the elements and wildlife. "Mystery" doesn't necessarily mean "wild tale of the supernatural."
Yes. I wonder what else you fail to fundamentally understand...
@MrOverCritical1989 this
@MrOverCritical1989 Precious little, even if you're fortunate enough to stumble across it in countless square miles of untamed terrain.
Seriously. Underestimate the wilderness at your own risk.
The one about the old man, Conrad, is sad and easier to explain than some of the others. I imagine that the headaches were related to his disappearance, like a sign of cancer or a precursor to seizures that changed his personality or reasoning in a drastic way leading to his actions.
For future videos, can I request the Order of Nine Angles, Dulce Base/underground lizard people, Sawney Bean and the Toronto Tunnel Monster?
I recommended and sent them references to Sawney bean on twitter. It's definitely on their list by their reply. I live not that far from his cave and the legend of him scared me shirtless as a kid.
Is that the Sawney Bean last of the Scottish Cannibals when your heading for Stranraer ?
What's the Order of Nine Angles/Angels?
@@DizzyDarko666 Yup we always drove past his walled cave near Kennedys Pass , they've closed that road now but it always gave me the creeps.
Ive spent alot of time up in the high country. One the the biggest dangers up there are the old mine shafts, they litter the terrain and can be very difficult to spot coved with rotted boards or branches, some not covered at all, you fall into one your basically a goner
if your interested in mysterious unexplained places in Australia, black mountain is Australia's bermuda triangle, mamy people avoid and highly recommend staying away from it, and inside it is underground caves which many people have gone missing exploring

There are many a lost soul and forgotten homestead out there in the scrub(bushland).
With so much still unknown about this rugged land, I'm still happy to call this Great Southern Land my hope.
Great stuff as always. 👍
I think that is why Picnic at Hanging Rock was so believable, even though it was a fictional story. You get the feeling it drew on tales of actual disappearances in Australia.
This story is from my area of victoria! There was a recent crime that people suspected the button man to be involved in, it's a strange story!

TIS THE SEASON
Really appreciate this channel, which I've only recently found! well researched stories - most are ones I haven't heard of before.. the narration is well done, clear and easy to follow and the illustrations are excellent. Thank you!
I’ve hiked and camped all over the US. I’ve Spent many nights alone. I always camp off trail and find the high ground. I never make camp fires or keep food where I sleep. My clothes and gear are dark or natural colors. I generally avoid other people where possible.i carry bear spray and have occasionally carry small caliber hand guns. I have become Leary of solo travel and these days and I use the buddy system when I back pack.
Love the landscape drawings in this one - they are so sensitive and beautifully rendered.
I love this channel. The best artwork, and story telling around.
"The coroner again..." How is there a coroner if there's no body??????
In Australia a coroner is a bit different. They are more of an investigator, they have legal training rather than medical. Often they are used to review unsolved or complex cases. Reviewing all the available evidence, reviewing what the police may have done wrong or missed. Quite different to the Us
Well, they're probably part of the investigation team, and it's likely their job to report on the final possible outcome of the persons remains.
Hence the hurried conclusions...
I spent a lot of time there over 2 decades ago, came across bush hermits a few times. They always have a dog with them, they keep their distance and dont engage. One time though we came across an old man who had claimed to have walked a few months all the way from Sydney and was heading to Melbourne to see his sick brother. Was near the wonangata valley. He was a nice old guy. Looked really suprised to see us and obviously had not spoken to anyone in awhile. Another thing was I heard a warning of a river that runs through the centre of the wonangata valley in the most remote part. Warning was dont cross the river/stream. This area is only accessible by walking or horse. Apparently in the 60's someone part of a group decided to challenge that warning and set his tent up just across the stream. When he woke up one of his legs was missing, apparently cleanly cut/sliced as though surgically, strange aswel was the leg wasnt bleeding and he survived. Could be a story. But we didnt test it. Another story was in the 70s a man suddenly grabbed his rifle and left his group running into the bush, as others in the group spun around they saw a black furred creature quickly disappear into the bush ahead of him -some that saw the creature reckoned it almost looked like a black panther. He wasnt heard of or seen again for a couple of weeks though he was searched for. Then suddenly he appeared back white as a sheet and clothes torn, he walked in to the main camp said nothing to anyone, handed his rifle in and left on foot for the nearest road. Never to be heard from again. I heard later that in ww2 there was a US air unit stationed in that region or thereabouts and they had a male and female panther as mascots. End of the war they were ordered to put them down but apparently some of them couldn't bring themselves to it so they went out to the edge of where they thaught was isolated enough for the cats to just disappear and live out there lives. But who knows maybe they bred and well life has a way of surviving so inbred black panthers isnt in the way of impossibilities. These are stories told to us by older guys in that region round a fire and they were told them by those that came before.
What people may not know is that in Australia it's standard practice to give and get "We're OK" communications regularly. For example - If you tell someone you'll arrive at 6PM and don't show up, they'll go looking. There are no exceptions because the bush can be dangerous. There's something quite strange about so many people who know the bush and who are so well organized going missing at all. "Bush people" living in the bush are generally OK, but not always.
The high country isn't "impassable" by Australian standards but it's often potentially difficult and pretty strenuous when climbing and descending. You can also get snow and of summer heat, both potentially very risky. The country is no real problem for an experienced bushwalker, but tricky if you're not. One fall or slip can incapacitate you, and then you're in serious trouble. Getting lost isn't a good option; if you do, you can wander for days.
Word of advice for foreigners - If you come out here, pay attention to all the safety tips, don't go off on your own, and be careful, or you might wind up on Bedtime Stories.
if the story takes place in Australia you know it's going to be good! 🦘 😁

I get excited every time I get a Bedtime Stories new video notification and I would watch and leave my comment asap but like many others I wait until Bedtime to watch/listen. My favorite channel on UA-cam thanks again!
Love the art to all these stories.
It's so hard when you don't know what happened to them. They vanished like they have never existed
"It's like your little mate said;"That's not a knife,this is a knife".😨
I see you played knife spoon before
That's not a knife(to a mugger with a pocket knife)....THIS is a knife(pulls out a machete)
@@zoeyrochellezhombie829 Iam Aussie mate we play knifie spoon
@@zoeyrochellezhombie829 watch "Wolf Creek",it's a different vibe.
Thank you for all of your videos and thank you for never being a true skeptic and doubting strange things can happen. I know there are many things that can be explained naturally at the same time there are so many things that we will never understand in this crazy world.
This particular episode hit close to home for me!
Yay! This is a very welcomed surprise! I love the videos, keep up the amazing work guys!
Weird one this time
A few corrections to this great video. David Prideaux was the Govenor of BARWON prison, not Barton prison. Conrad Whiltock's car was found in a layby on the road going up to the summit of Mt BULLER , not Mt Butler. Niels Becker did not intend going into the Wonnangatta Valley. His proposed route was further to the west, keeping on top of the the main range, ending near Mt Stirling, adjacent to Mt Buller, (where Conrad Whitlock disappeared. ) Police made contact with and interviewed "The Button Man" in connection with the Hill/Clay disappearance, but ruled him out of the investigation after the interviews concluded. People looking at this video may also be interested in video's about the unsolved 1917/18 double murder in the Wonnangatta Valley, that have been posted on You Tube.
Yes another story from my homeland. So keen to jump into this one, thanks Bedtime Stories!
Love this channel so much, I even have the shirt!
God I love the narrator's voice; also of course the scary story.
Always great to see a new Bedtime Stories uploaded.
I watched the episode about shadow people two days after I saw one. I told my wife this shadow person had a hat. After watching the episode it was mentioned that you don't want to see a shadow person with a hat. This was Thursday December 17th 2020. Two days later my dad called and said he has to undergo surgery for a prostate problem. wTF
I also saw this figure standing across the street in my neighbor's inclosed porch looking back at me. I don't know what all this means. Stay tuned.
I live in Melbourne, Australia. Me and my mates are thinking about looking for the button man. See what is actually happening out that way
As my friend says - you can only die once! Good luck guys, keep us posted if you solve it🙂
@@teaspoonsofpeanutbutter6425 will do, we are waiting on all this covid lockdown stuff to be over, we are still not able to leave. There might 4 of us going, at this stage it would appear to be the case, how ever me and my other mate reckon the other 2 will back out last minute because of work and thier girlfriends. Might end up being just me and mate going...
@@carminelupertazzijr3512 damn, why do people do that? Your job and woman will still be there - go do something wild! The more of you there are the safer you'll be too (well, in theory!) You could advertise for some sort of "expedition group" like the good old days of adventure and finding answers! You'd likely end up with some proper weirdos though!
@@carminelupertazzijr3512 !!!!!!!! 😍 That is fantastic! Dont forget to journal, video, take many pics, bring weapons & never separate
@@carminelupertazzijr3512 buddy, don't take less than 6 but no more than 12, always stay in pairs f 2 and have individual GPS ... It's way harder to get rid of a dozen individual thumbprints than it is to dispose of 4 groups of three. Especially in the bush and the fact that it snows there means decomposition exponentiates in spring.... There's tons of risks here but not if you're calculated about your procedures
I do a lot of hiking around Victoria. I wonder if I'll ever run into the button man.
Go to eaglevale
Go to eaglevale
I keep picturing the photographs taken of the sleeping photographer containing various pranks like: a bunch of m&m's in his mouth while he sleeps, his hand in a glass of warm water, crude drawings on his face with a sharpie... ya know, slumber party "first to fall asleep" pranks
Another great episode! Thanks fellas.
I'm gonna say it: this has got to be a serial killer
(Sees BtS notification)
Instant “LIKE”
Love these stories I’m completely addicted. Keep up the good work 👍🏻
The button man sounds like the North Pond Hermit from Maine but with a larger skill base. The hermit got caught because he solely existed on stuff he stole instead of just messing with people.
Remember when they tried getting a different person to read their scripts?
Yes. But I think they rushed in a new narrator to quickly. didn't give the narrator enough time to bed in gradually.
We've all got used to Richards voice.
Fair play to him he has a fair amount if work running this channel.
He was just trying to share the workload out.
It has to be the fault of Australia's living dinosaurs or giant lizards!
Or a Yowie 🤷♀️😂
Drop bear
This was a good one - very intriguing.
Always a good watch before sleeping.
Seriously, what goes through a man's thoughts when they decide to go lie down in the middle of a group of camping people?
Oh idk maybe long periods of isolation, even self induced, can have affects on inherently social animals such as homo sapiens. Effects like a desire for human closeness, a desire to be part of the tribe, even if this can only be fulfilled in a very limited, distanced manner. Such as sleeping amongst a group of fellow humans, free to enter deep sleep without fear of predators, surrounded by your tribe, even if said tribe only exists in your mind for the moments before sleep claims you. But yeah its a complete mystery as to what was going through his head, just completely inhumanly abnormal behaviour...
@@aceambling7685 Well said.
Hmm this is nice and warm.....
.........
I agree with what Ace. Said.
When are you guys gonna do the lizard man of scape ore swamp and the jersey devil?
