    As the father of a 3 1/2 year old, I can honestly say that I’d never outright discount anything that my son says. He’s always very direct and honest, and it’s easy to tell the difference between when he’s “playing” and when when he’s truthfully trying to convey something of a very real and serious nature.

      That story may be a bit of a key to the entire "missing 411" record. What if the things taking people are not allowed to take a child who's too young to understand or know certain things? This might explain why the thing the child thought was his grandma would be getting frustrated when he didn't know the answers to questions. It's just a thought.

    • @eveningstar6700
      @eveningstar6700 2 роки тому +91

      I appreciate this. I cant stand when people rule young children off.
      We could probably learn more from them if we all actively tried.
      I remember when my nieces were first born, they had a couple experiences with something our eyes couldn't see but theirs could. (animals do it too.)
      I always loved being around babies and kids. My favorite age is 2-3. I often would think to myself, "it's because they barely left God and i can still feel it."
      but whatever that thing was on that mountain sounds like it has the ability to shape shift. ...which is creepy.. but it more pisses me off that it interacted with a child. 😠 and i wonder what it was asking anyway...

      @@matthewmosier8439 I see your point. From what I've read most of the adults who are "taken" are never found or if so are found deceased.
      Some may have simply gotten lost on their own, not taken. Also it appears most of the adults "taken" are confused and can't remember what happened to them during the time they were missing or how they came to be "lost." Its' too bad they can't explain if they had contact with a"being" or "entities." I use the word taken because my belief is they were unaware they were being led away. Disturbing cases.

    For those who are just consuming Missing 411 through Mr. Ballen, here's David Paulides advice on how to prevent becoming the subject of a bizarre disappearance like this:
    1. If you're going to go into the wilderness, make sure that people know where you're going to be, and when you'll be back. Make sure theyre ready to call in authorities if you aren't back by the specified time.
    2. Carry an emergency satelite phone. It's a kind of device that you can take anywhere and at the press of a button, it can send an alert to local authorities that you need help, as well as exactly where you are.
    3. Be armed.
    The number of people who have disappeared mysteriously while following these steps is in the single digits. Not completely foolproof, but nothing really is.

      @Unrestricted Gaming You can find a statics to prove anything. Many times companies or whoever is paying for the statics. They have been known to pressures the people involved to have them create a favorable result. For example, we all know how bad sugar and sugary drinks are bad for us. I have seen doctors scientist and nutritionist etc. Lie, and down play the bad health issues associated with a diet high in sugary food and drinks. These professions are usually employed or receiving money by a company that produces unhealtthy sugary junk food. Keep that in mind, even government funded research is bias.
      I am curious, do you have children?
      It seems like you do not, to me.
      Growing up, I did not lie, I had a cousin and an aunt who lied 24/7. I hated it when adults dismissed a child's fears or experiences, I still do.
      I am an honest parent that does not think my children are perfect or better than anyone else's children. I do know and can tell when they are scared, nervous or being dishonest etc. I still listen to them and validate their emotions.
      I find adults lie more than children and their behavior can be worse. I have seen adults throw fits in restaurants, stores etc. These same adults expect their or other's children to have better behavior than an adult. I have always had more patience with children than adults. Adults should be old enough to know better! Lol.

      Well the other two climbers would be the main suspects. But since they left no evidence and no one saw them doing anything to their friend leads me to believe that they find it every bit as perplexing as the rest of us. What could pluck someone off the side of a mountain without leaving any footprints in the snow? A giant bird? A helicopter? It also had to do so without being noticed by anyone. I don't know if the answer is demons, but it certainly seems to be something beyond the scope of what we call normal.

Many people I have personally met have told me about encounters with the creature. You suddenly find your mom or girlfriend or a friend in the middle of a road or coming behind the trees, it’s usually an emergency and they insist that you follow them but something is off, people usually run when that happens.
      They say that the chullachaqui has a problem transforming its legs, you will notice one of his feet is a goats hoof or it’s backwards or maybe this person has 2 left or 2 right foot, if you doubt just look at its feet but don’t tell him you have noticed, just play dumb or run. Creepy shit.

They were wearing light clothing, not something you would usually wear in the cold/snow. Well they didn’t talk much but led them out towards the town they were staying at and then they were gone.
    When they were telling someone who lives there, they had said something like “oh yea, that’s the blue people”. They kept to them selves and lived up the mountain and some people believe they are extra terrestrials who got stuck there. They don’t go into town but will help people who are lost from time to time.
    My aunt told me years ago so I might be wrong about some things, sadly she passed away in 2019 so I can’t ask her. Just thought it was a fun story 😊.

      These are inner earth people, not extra terrestrial. There are countless whistleblowers that had experiencies with civilizations that exist inside the earth, through cave systems. Many abductees from UFOs tell that the ship went inside the earth through caves, or when they asked the "ETs" where they lived, they pointed to mounts and caves. Even military had footage of UFOs coming in and out of caves and even the sea. There are these areas in parks that are forbidden to the public and the government knows that they have entrances to underground bases and cities. Phil Schineider had a story about how his group found one of these cities with grey type people while digging the earth, he was assassinated when he was about to leak the entrance of these cities. The world is a stage, reality is a lot more strange than everyone is taught to believe.

    I’ve got my own Mt Shasta story. It’s actually my parents story, but I’ll tell it. They were living near Mt Shasta Town, a little ways up the mountain from where the city center was. Their house was surrounded by woods, and they had a neighbor a few hundred yards through one of the thickets of trees. Well, my parents trained dogs, and had kennels next to the house. They would take their dogs up the mountain hiking and training at the same time. One of their occasions on the mountain they had a German Shepard with them. And they had stayed out longer than expected and were descending the mountain trail in the dark heading home. Their dog all of a sudden stopped in front of them, lowered its head and starred off the trail into the fast falling darkness and forest. After a few seconds a huge deer came running past them but the dog barely gave the deer a second glance and continued to stare in the direction it had run from. My dad grabbed his collar and tried soothing him, enough to get back on the move. They made it home that night without incident. But they were on alert due to the dogs actions, and when they got back the two other dogs were also acting strange. They cooked dinner and sat down in their living room, to settle down for the night. A few hours later they heard this blood curdling scream coming from outside their house, to the side of the driveway away from the nearest house. My dad ran out to see what was going on, and he found a woman, half crouched, half falling back against the base of the nearby tree. Her face was ripped open, and she was screaming. The woman it would turn out, was an addict on a trip of some kind, and She had been running around the woods for a few days out of her mind. She had decided to sneak up to my parents house, for whatever reason she had. As she had hidden herself in the nearby trees when my parents came home. Their dog that they had been training that day. Escaped his kennel with a 6 foot tall chain length fence, ran across the yard, intercepted her path stealthily and was laying under the picnic table when this woman, who was army crawling across the yard, crawled under the picnic table, which was located on the side of the house near the porch and side door. She came face to face with an angry German Shepherd protecting his owners. The dog ripped her face open, and her lips off. They had an ambulance come out for her and they had to go out and find her.... “parts”, for the ambulance to take to the hospital with her. I know it’s not paranormal, but it’s not always the boogeyman running around with nefarious intentions. Had the dog not done his duty, there’s no telling what that woman could of done to my parents. This world is full of crazy people, and no doubt that’s not all. Keep your head on a swivel and trust your instincts. Oh, and dogs are man’s best friends for many reasons. 😉😉

      Psssshhh, food is my dog's best friend. You could murder everyone in our house if you came in with a pack of bologna lol.
      Personally, I think he's broke. The area around our house is notoriously haunted and he has no reaction at all to "weird" events.
      Now Zoey, god rest her soul, that dog would let you know if something was "off". I remember one time I was outside close to the tree line a few feet away from the tree we tie her too when she needs to go out. I was pacing around and I just started to feel like I was being watched. The feeling was really strong and my eyes kept being drawn to a specific area under a shelter on the side of an old dilapidated barn my grandfather built years ago. It was VERY dark but not so dark that you wouldn't have been able to see something standing there so I kept shrugging it off because there was nothing there. So a minute or two go by and the feeling is starting to make me want to go inside. all of a sudden Zoey turns her head to look over her shoulder and immediately leans up like she sees something. She slowly raises up to her feet and starts a really low, deep growl that turns into like a half bark. There is just enough light to see every hair on her spine is standing straight up. at this point I realize that I am not crazy. There IS something there. It's just not physically visible. So long story short, I demanded it to show itself. It did not but instead attacked me. This "pressure" came up on me real quick. A wave of something akin to static electricity ran over me and it felt like something simultaneously set my lungs on fire and dug around in my chest cavity with fingers made of forks. At some point I blacked out and when I came too I was just standing there staring into the darkness. For how long, I have no idea. Zoey was still trying to snatch her head out of her collar and "IT" was still standing under the shelter watching me. I reached over, grabbed her collar, unhooked her, and walked with her back to the house with my head damn near twisted backwards to keep an eye on... uhhh... the thing I couldn't see lol. We got in the house I went straight to bed because I felt deathly tired and sick to my stomach. I slept for the better part of three days and I wasn't fully "right" again for nearly a week.

      Methamphetamine (or similar), PCP, and alcohol. Those are the three that you need to be concerned about (and for meth, it's mostly due to sleep deprivation, not the drug itself). Barring those, it's very, _very_ uncommon for narcotics to make a nonviolent person violent.
      If someone breaks into your home/vehicle to steal for drug money, it's most often because they're terribly ill from not having opiates and just desperately want to not be sick anymore (at that stage, the euphoria mostly comes from recovering from feeling sick, not actually getting "high") - rarely are they prepared for a physical altercation and even if, they'd be very weak and easy to overtake.

    I had a weird experience camping with my little girl and I was living outside of Corvallis Oregon. I had camped out there many nights with her in the summer because it was really hot and it was cool at night so it was fun for us. All the sudden one night I'm awaken by this horrible stench. I'm getting chills just thinking about it. It was nothing I had ever smelled before. It smelled like dirt and skunk and game. It smelled awful and it was so pungent it almost made me gag. So I had a knife and I pulled it out and leaned over and unzipped my tent and I could see red eyes staring at me in the field next to my tent. I was immediately shocked and terrified because I've never seen red eyes like that before. I've been out in the woods a lot and I've never seen eyes like that before or since. I waited there terrified for my little girl. She was only three at the time. I thought something was going to come get us and attack us. But nothing ever came. I stayed up the entire night with my knife drawn sitting up ready to stab whatever was outside my tent so I could protect my kid. I've never told anybody about this because I didn't think they'd believe me. Whatever was out there was enormous and it was easily 8 to 10 ft tall probably. I'm 6 ft 6 so I can tell this thing was bigger than me. That's pretty frightening when you're a big guy to see something way bigger than you. Now I know how short people feel.

    I've been a steady fan of yours now for almost 2 years. This video not only introduced me to Mt. Shasta but inspired me to research it, the local natives and all the lore. I am a Florida local and had never seen mountains besides smokey mountains. My gf and I got invited to a wedding in Sacramento. We made a 3,000 mile pilgrimage and thanks to you and the strange dark and mysterious I made my way to mountain following the wedding. I have never experienced natural beauty like that. Florida has it's spots but it didn't even look real standing 9000 feet up on Shasta. Thank you for these uploads. I'm similar to a lot of your erm.. subjects I have a huge love for nature. If it wasn't for the fact it was my six month anniversary with the love of my dreams I would have stayed. I even told everyone to give you a heads up should something had happened. I was in awe

      These settings are ideal for creating abductions that can lead to disappearance altogether of human beings. This then becomes an easy thing to cover up. If people are exploring a wilderness area and simply disappear, it is assumed they became lost, and over a period of days, their bodies could be moved by large predators and then devoured and never be found by searchers. This happens again and again where people disappear, leaving no trace. And this eventually is forgotten at least by the authorities and bystanders. We all know this happens. There are huge numbers of people disappearing every year. So society is accustomed to this and that creates a great cover for this process to snatch people and not return them. This is to provide fresh blood, so to speak, for the slave colony and for the existing extraterrestrial incursion within the earth plane itself, the installations where they congregate. Humans are exploited in multiple ways as slave, but also as food. So again we do not mince words here. This is all distasteful and unpleasant and does not bring us joy in recounting these facts. The reason it exists is primarily because humans are unaware it is happening and cannot fight back effectively. You cannot fight something you do not see and do not believe exists. There will be no energy or inclination to do so. This is how they get away with their crimes through the clever covering up, the misdirection, the disinformation, the control of the media and law enforcement, both, to be complacent, to discount eyewitness evidence, the pleas of family, the oddities that occur that scream out “There is something sinister behind what happened, that is not a typical accident”. But when people are subjugated through mind control to be complacent, things will not get done.These are the headwinds all face who want to right the wrongs and to blow the whistle in some way or another. It is not only waking up those who are asleep but overcoming the deep anesthesia enveloping them. This will not be simple but is necessary. More humans are needed who are awake and observant and wanting things to change, and knowing what steps to take. If that does not happen the problem will not only continue but the problem will get worse. More will disappear and this will grow and other difficulties and calamities and catastrophes will add to the toll. And things will get increasingly ugly and out of control, and that will not be the time to be in your best shape to take on such a challenge. When people are overwhelmed and in states of fear they disempower themselves. This is an inherent characteristic of the human being. You cannot have a loving, caring, compassionate human who can suddenly switch off their feelings and go into battle and keep their head. That is asking too much. It takes extensive military training to condition human beings for combat. When this is happening within all of society on multiple levels the people as a whole will not be able to cope. This must be prevented and will only happen through divine means. People need to request this for us to come to their aid. They will not do so if they do not know a request is needed. This is our way of pointing out the great value of the question and this questioner. All who come forward in this way and seek answers are still awake. This makes you among the most valuable of humans at this time in the history because you are the hope for all the rest although they do not know this.If you embrace our words and simply reach out to the Divine to ask for help and support and to have the hearts of all who are here raised up so love can flow and reason prevail, that is what is needed and the divine realm can use that fuel to engineer solutions that will spare lives and bring things back into balance without a fight in the conventional sense of the word.

    Here’s some general advice for anyone that considers going hiking:
    1. Make sure that *multiple* people know where you’re going, what you’re going to be doing and for how long you plan to be gone for.
    2. Tell them what you’re going to be wearing.
    3. Tell them your plan in case you get lost. Unless you’re extremely experienced and know *exactly* what you’re doing your best plan is to just stay out and wait for rescue.
    4. Make sure you have more supplies with you than you think you’ll actually need (I usually try to have at least two extra days worth of food and water with me, just in case).
    5. Invest in a LifeStraw, they don’t take up much space, they weigh very little and they can end up saving your life!
    6. Buy a power bank that can be charged using solar panels and bring it with you. The reception out in the forest is usually pretty spotty but in case things go wrong you do *not* suddenly realise that “Oh shit my phone’s dead”. Make sure to wrap both the powerbank and your phone in plastic bags.
    7. Finally, write down where you’re going, what you’re going to be doing and for how long you plan to be gone (along with all the supplies, clothes and equipment you are going to take with you along with your phone number) on a piece of paper and seal it in an envelope and clearly mark it with something along the lines of “If I go missing, give this to the police!” and give it to a loved one you know and trust. Your loved ones may be hysterical and unable to think straight if you go missing so this will help the authorities immensely.
    This may seem extremely excessive, but consider this: In the United States alone more than 600,000 people go missing *each year*. Most are eventually found (alive or otherwise..) but some do end up just disappearing without a trace.
    So ask yourself this: “Do I *really* want to chance it or should I prepare ‘just in case’ and laugh about it later?”

      A lot of people tend to overlook things when it comes to going out in the nature alone... Especially if said people are already experienced or are from a tougher line of work and have seen shit. For example, my cousin finished military academy, was tank platoon commander and had a lot of outdoor experience. Him and his younger brother wanted to go for this 100km long hike through the woods (no trails) straight through the woods and climb a mountain peak. I told them (keep in mind that I'm not experienced hiker nor camper (like to camp but close to civilization)) they need to inform mountain rangers, need to give them exact route they are planning to take, have guns with them just in case, have deep boots for snakes, watch out for cuts, need to have medication, be careful about bears and wolves etc. He laughed it off and said it's only a 100km hike, few days only and said bears are not that big of an issue. Well, when he called rangers, they asked for their route, give them specific checkpoints with estimated time to arrive, told them to get a sat phone and check in on every checkpoint with them within 1-2 hours, have food stashed away from camp site etc etc. They didn't wanna buy a sat phone just for this one hike, so they rescheduled their trip for this year, are planning to go without informing rangers. And that's how people get lost. Arrogance.

    For the first case that took place in California where a three-year-old boy went missing, we can find a lot of similar cases in Taiwan and Fujian area. In Taiwan, we identify the evil spirit in the mountains as the "demonic god" (mo2shen2). This spirit is able to enchant usually young children and elder people. In the California case, the sister found her brother missing seconds after she looked away. This is very typical because the spirit is able to create a space to trap the person and at the same time block the vision of the people around them. This is why it took so many people to find the young boy in a spot which they had walked past many times because their vision was blocked. So experienced searchers in Taiwan would try to create loud noises while they are searching for someone missing so that they can break the screen. My father-in-law told me a similar story in which one of his missing villagers died of hunger seven days after he was missing. The spot he died at was been searched many times, but nobody was able to see him.

    These stories make me wonder if there are invisible ‘worm hole’-like tunnels in these areas that open and close randomly. And, if a person is in the wrong place at precisely the wrong moment when one opens up, they disappear into them.
    Maybe some tunnels are short and ‘open’ on the other end, which could explain why some people/children are found so far away. And then maybe there are other tunnels that are ‘closed’, as in, if a person inadvertently steps into the opening, they’re just gone forever. Maybe not dead, but in a another (parallel) dimension.
    Very science fictiony I know. But I believe this Earth has mysteries we don’t understand. Where are Mulder and Scully or the Fringe team when you need them? LOL🙂

    I've only ever witnessed one concerning or weird thing. I grew up in Florida, there was one camping trip i went on with my family somewhere in Midland northern Florida, there was a nature trail out over a swamp, well most of it was boardwalk, and the only way out was how you get in, we had gone on it earlier that day and it was basically just a decent size loop over the swamp. I remember sitting and getting the campfire ready, a family of 3 (Mother, Father, and a child that looked about 6yrs old) went towards the entry to the trail which was only about maybe 100ft from our campsite, however.... It was about sunset, the trail maybe took about a half hour or so, i remember looking at my dad nervously and we discussed that it's getting late, and maybe we should tell them it's a bad idea to go out there at this time but didn't say anything as they were already gone in the few minutes we discussed it. Half-hour went by and nothing, then an hour later it was sunset and getting dark, we talked about going to look for them but didn't want to take the risk, hours kept passing, it was well past sunset and pitch black out. We watched many hours into the night, We didn't see anyone come back from the trail, we never saw the family return. I still wonder what happened to them, there's literally no other way to get off that trail other than the entrance Infront of our camp. We didn't hear any sound all night either, just nature.

      Your wife isn't the detective who wrote the book. Also google the news stories. People pass lie detector tests and swabs to see if they fired a gun or have blood or genetic material on them. How does your wife explain the people who vanish in the snow and there's no tracks the old tracks just stop? Or the kids that appear in an area that was searched multiple times? These stories aren't something to brush off and use some hair brained conclusion that makes no sense to justify what can't be explained.

But he couldn't, and she told him he came from a different planet. But he still couldn't poop so she got frustrated and told him to wait on the path and someone will find him.
