      I live in a rural area. On lots of land. My kids were under 10, 2 boys. Would take the dog, a .22 rifle, and toys all the way over the hill to the creek. They also carried a small "walkie-talkie", and I kept the other close by, in case something happened. People act like I was nuts to allow that. They are adults now, and have great memories of those days

      Imagine how much worse it is if they don't find them, and you spend the rest of your life wondering if they survived and what they were going through. If they died wondering where you were, when you were coming to get them. That's the worst. Sometimes it's better to know they died than to think think of them being hurt and afraid. I couldn't handle that.

    The fact that the bearman was dismissed is unfortunate because any sinister person could dress up in real bear skin in order to easily kidnap a child. Could be a pervert, a feral human, or if legends are to be believed, it could be a skinwalker.

      There was no report of a bearman, or a feral man - the witness simply said they saw a man. There was no report of him carrying anything. Never existed in the original report. There was a shout heard and a man appeared shortly afterwards. That's it. The reason the park rangers dismissed the report was because it took place too far from where the child went missing. So they didn't consider it related.

      I thought I was the first one to notice... I've done research on the inner earth legends and reports before learning about 411 and decided to see if the cave systems map looked similar.
      There's almost certainly a connection as the blank spot in the American heartland/breadbasket region is the same on both maps. Possibly the culprits are creatures or spirits from far below, likely incorporeal in nature. I recommend you to look into the diary of admiral Byrd, as well as ancient Hopi legends about their origins. Atlantean Gardens here on UA-cam is also resplendent with inner earth information.

    I think that most of the time when a parent says "I only looked away for a second", they're lying. They don't want to look like they were neglectful parents after their kid goes missing. They were distracted by something, and they took their eyes off the kid for a few minutes, which is more than enough time for them to get snatched by a bear or some weirdo just hanging out in the woods.

      I totally agree. Parents get distracted and kids can easily wander off. Then who knows what happens to them, from accidents to abductions to animal attacks… all kinds of scary stuff. I don’t think it makes the parents necessarily neglectful, I think it’s an unfortunate event that might be avoided by taking precautions such as those toddler harnesses that attach to your wrist, or something like that.

    Caves, sinkholes, bears, moose, weather, and good cold human idiocy perfectly explain this - the scariest story here is that the national park service does not want to publish a complete list of those who have gone missing, because it would hurt tourism in there for the bottom line. It’s always money. always.

      I once took a dog to be adopted in a rural area, the family owned farms all around the property which was further covered by other people's farms in all directions. Unfortunately at night the dog broke her collar and ran away, I got a frantic call in the wee hours of the morning so I drove over freaking out. For HOURS I walked aimlessly in every direction screaming her name till I scratched my throat till I lost my voice. After half a day had passed I knew I had to get back to the city but I knew if I left she would go farther away and die. I broke down completely and cried pitifully begging God. When I got up she was around the corner looking at me scared. I can't describe the rush of relief. I hugged her and completely broke down, wailing aloud. I put her back in my car and brought her back. I know how desperate I felt and that was just a dog I was trying to rescue, but the feeling of responsibility and the guilt was killing me. I can't IMAGINE what parents go through. I pray God answers their prayers and their children are found. 🙏

    John, Dennis turns out was 4 months older than myself and my first hearing of his disappearance was almost a year ago. It is SUCH a heartbreaking tale to me. I’m not sure why but maybe because I myself was almost snatched at around that time by 3males, but was able to run home and alert my folks. Maybe it’s Dennis’ picture. He looks so trusting and happy, so innocent, so precious. Maybe because I felt the things Dennis experienced as he looked for someone to help him and the despair when he couldn’t find someone. Such a tragedy. It haunts me, Brother. And his fathers pain must’ve been horrible, can only be imagined never having been one myself. Thank you John for remembering Dennis. May Dennis and his loved ones have found peace and joy unspeakable.

    I grew up in the woods here in Washington state. By 8 years old I was allowed to be out all day doing pretty much whatever I wanted as long as I had my lever action 38 with me. I've been here f40 years now about and have spent weeks at a time in the deepest reaches of of all the big forests here and have never once seen a single thing.. but I've experienced all kinds of crap. I've had giant trees falling down around me falling in different directions with no wind. I've smelt gnarly rotten skunk cabbage smell followed by giant logs being thrown over my head. There was 4 of us there that time. I've also left camp for just a minute with it leaving my sight for just seconds and having everything destroyed with the tents torn apart with scraps in the trees. One time I set up camp then went down to the stream to get water just 30 ft away and came back to everything piled up on the fire pit. Luckily there wasn't a fire yet. But no person could have done it that fast. Something we can't or don't understand is happening out there.

If- and I hope it never happens- should I throw my phone away from me? Just to give a location of where I was if something or someone creeps up on me? Did your team ever take companion dogs on your trips into the wild? I can’t keep my dogs inside if I’m outside, so I’ll never be alone out there. I just wondered what your protocol was for going into a dense forest. My dogs go nuts if they hear (or think they hear) something outside. It’s usually a raccoon or a fox or coyote... but now being a Ballen fan I do wonder what else might be out here. I am armed, but it’s not like I sleep with my gun under my pillow- but should I? Sorry to ask so much- but you seem to be a good source of ideas and observations of such encounters.

      My theory is that predators like mountain lions , large birds and other animals living in these nature preserves try to carry them away but give up because the child is struggeling too much.
      Think about that video of the eagle throwing a goat off a cliff. Could totally imagine such an eagle carrying a child of 2-4 years away. For why some of them showed no signs of an animal attack ?
      Maybe those who survived got lucky and the animals grabbed them by thier cloths and/or a small bagpack.

      I hope ppl look into the fact that David Paulides is nothing but a grifter and fraud. DP won't come out directly and say it but all clues lead to the fact he thinks Bigfoot is behind the disappearances. DP is a liar and he cherry picks facts to further his narrative while ignoring major facts that make these cases a lot less mysterious such as the fact that many of the "missing" were found and are ALIVE. He says he doesn't include ppl with substance abuse issues, suicidal ppl, or mentally ill ppl in the missing 411 cases but this is bs. Please don't support this man who profits off the misery of others who have lost a loved one. He does nothing to give back to the bereaved in the way of time or money. He is a disgraced former cop and a fiction writer telling stories about Bigfoot. He's also a very miserable person who attacks anyone who even dares to question or critique him in the slightest. He scrubs any negative comments and blocks commenters. Plz don't help this man by visiting his YT page (which BTW his videos are extremely long winded and are filled with off-topic tangents, and rarely cover the topic in the title), you are not missing anything.

Even if you are an insanely skilled and experienced hunter, you're still human, and humans make mistakes or sometimes get sloppy, even the best of the best and it only takes one mistake to get ripped apart by a predator given the right circumstances

      I've been hiking through all sorts of terrain (except sandy deserts; we don't have those in Europe) for over a decade now and back when I was still a teenager I was taught to always carry a locator, shovel and probe when hiking or climbing in snowy terrain. After a couple of minor scares in the Alps, I started advocating for the "chain line of sight". Basically, every member of the group is responsible for keeping whoever is ahead of them within their line of sight. Yes, this leads to slower progression, but a big factor in search efforts is determining exactly where someone was seen for the last time. Incorporating prevention and early detection into your planning instead of just having contingency measures can make a huge difference, and I say this from the perspective of the group leader and organiser in most of my expeditions for the last four or five years.

      I read a medical examiner's book where he described cases he'd been on, and he said that sometimes when people are exposed to the elements and get hypothermic, they can enter this weird mental state where they have no idea what they're doing. There have been people found undressed, frozen to death after they laid down to sleep because they were exhausted and cold. It's possible that this is the explanation for some of these stories, but definitely not all of them and there is something very sinister.

    I heard a story about 2 men, 2 hunters who were in a national park. They were walking and all of a sudden they realized there's no birds chirping, there's no wind blowing, and there's a very ominous feeling in the air. So they knew about all the disappearances, and they looked at each other, rushed to the nearest tree, hugged the trunk, and waited. After about 20 minutes, as if someone had flipped a switch, suddenly the birds started chirping again, the wind started blowing, and the feeling of dread left all at the same time!!! They never knew what the hell that was all about, but they let go of the tree, and resumed their walk!! Now I don't know if that story has anything to do with anything, but it certainly seems like it could.

His boots being where they were is the confusing bit, since I could see something dragging him past a fence, but several miles away? Nah.

      You're right to an extent. Some of the disappearances are most likely human in nature (and the police know this)
      However, we don't know that there is "feral" people living in the woods. There are hermits and isolationists who choose to abandon society and live off the land for personal reasons or the challenge, but to equate them to backwoods inbred sub species of humans is ridiculous and insulting. There may be a couple odds and ends VERY small collections of people in certain areas that have generationally migrated deep into the woods and became an independent group. However there's no evidence to support any of it. No structures located, no heat signatures detected for unrelated aviation missions, no credible sightings or verifiable evidence. There's tiktok videos and urban legends.
      The woods is a good hunting ground for predators, but keep in mind a lot of those who go missing are armed hunters. Transporting the bodies back and forth between search areas over days would be impossible. The theory as a general explanation has too many holes.

He saw a disheveled man, not carrying anything, who go into a white car and drove away. There was no bear man or bipedal creature carrying a child. I want so badly to believe in Bigfoot.

      My hunch is that the bear man was actually a guy in a suit lured by the "smoky mountain family" who wanted to bring their kids over to "play" and then all the sudden a kid goes missing...some of those mountain folk back in the day would pretend to be all nice and have the most evil of intentions...I wonder if they got info on the other family after the incident.

  • @user-nl8xo2xq4w
    @user-nl8xo2xq4w 3 роки тому +247

    I think the strangest thing about this is that the people disappearing don't make any sound.
    If you're walking through the forest and you know you're at the back of the group and then suddenly someone or something grabs you from behind or picks you up, your first instinct would be to scream and trash around as much as you can.
    Even if the kidnapping happens in a matter of seconds, that should be enough time for you to make at least some noise to alert the people in front of you.
    But it sounds almost like these people were trying to stay completely still as soon as their taken, like they let themselves be taken.
    It sounds like there's DEFINITELY something supernatural going on, maybe even something that brainwashes or hypnotizes it's victims, so they go willingly without struggling.

      in one of the 411 cases (can't recall if it was one of the 5 here) a group of green berets that happened to be nearby were brought in to help with the search. They were regularly checking in by radio at first then they went dark. Supposedly other groups of searchers heard a ton of gunfire in the distance. Nothing was ever said about why they went dark or what the shooting was.
