    Hey! Please do share your thoughts in regards to the disappearances mentioned - I do always read all of the comments and reply to as many as I can. Also, finally weekend so do have a good, yet safe one! Also I give a brief explanation of hypothermia and paradoxical undressing and I say the blood vessels swell, but I meant constrict! Oops!

    I'm from the UK and have had the pleasure of hiking the Smokies, I hiked part of the Appalachian trail and can tell you first hand its spooky, I was aware of the national park missing cases beforehand so when you're actually there it's very hard to forget how easy it is to disappear forever. It's a beautiful place but that being said its definitely the creepiest national park I've hiked!

      I understand that feeling you mentioned of being watched. It reminds me of something that happened to me when I was a teenager in my hometown. On the edge of town was a small park in a hollow. It had been closed for years but still had old picnic areas, a small amphitheater and old signs depicting park trails. I used to visit the place out of curiosity, and one thing that stood out was each time I went there the vibe got weirder, as if I was being watched closely and intently by someone or something. And this feeling got stronger during each visit. The final time I was planning to go there, I was half way down the old trail in when it was as though I'd hit a wall. I couldn't go any further and I felt both sick and frightened. It's hard to explain but it's like that 'inner voice' was actually yelling 'GO BACK!!' After I reached the street above the feeling vanished. I haven't been back to that place in all these years.

    The Thelma story.... this happened to someone I knew she went ahead of everyone, somehow fell off the trail and wedged herself deep into rocks. She died of brain injury and exposure. The body was very hard to find because of the rocks.

      I didn't know her body was ever found. I thought that was the woman who was possibly planning to run away from her older, fairly disabled husband who she was largely caring for and after a series of failed marriages. Her behaviour in the days leading up to her vanishing was suspicious and there were cheques cashed on her account the year after but the bank teller couldn't remember the person who'd done it. There was no CCTV in 1981. The local pastor as the charity centre she volunteered at thought she might be having an affair (never proven) and she made phone calls there which she had never done before in all the years she'd worked there. I think she went off to start a new life and her behaviour on the trail was very odd, speeding up and then slowing down several times in an attempt to throw off her companions to make good her exit.

      Richard Helliwell you are right. She had talked to a man in a car in the parking lot, then deliberately hiked way ahead of everyone in her party. There were checks written in Georgia from her account. Nowadays, there should be handwriting specialists to know if it was her handwriting or not. We lived in the town where she went missing from and hiked that same trail almost every day. It’s a very family oriented, nice trail. Weird though. I’d like to see those checks be annualized 🙂

If she had been abducted I cannot imagine the perpetrator would have run the risk of being identified by cashing her cheques in a bank! I think the handwriting on the cheques was thought to be hers at the time, but it's only what I read. It's another case that David Paulides makes a lot of even though the explanation looks fairly simple.

    I had an experience a few years ago while hiking with my daughter in the Smokies: It was a beautiful day, nothing unusual, then all of a sudden, everything went dead silent, the wind stop blowing, and we both had a very uneasy feeling as if we were being watched or were in danger. This lasted for about 3 or 4 minutes, and then everything went back to normal. The breeze came back and the forest sounds resumed. Later on, I learned that this is a phenomenon that many people have experienced there, and in other places around the country.

      in some cases they don't even break up. sometimes, one just ends up walking behind the others, out of their sight, and when they turn around he/she is gone. that seems to be pretty rare but that's been mentioned in some of the cases in the books. also, not to speculate but considering how far out the rest of the details of these cases are, we can't really assume anything. we can't even assume that these people are responsible for their own judgment. if we can imagine some UFO or portal sucking them up through the 4th dimension, or fairies walking out of boulders and kidnapping hikers, then surely we can imagine some kind of entity or force that controls the victims' minds, or lures them away from their group, or somehow diminishes their critical thinking and survival instincts. and if one of those ideas is the case, it wouldn't surprise me much, since it explains a lot of the other phenomena, particularly the weird behavior of many of the victims. ditching clothes, food, and important gear, yet sometimes holding onto relatively useless, heavy stuff. something i've noticed in a LOT of these cases is that if the victim went missing with a camera, the camera is almost never found. in the few cases when it is found, weird pictures are often found on it, when the storage isn't permanently damaged. but in most cases the camera simply remains missing forever, even when other discarded items are quickly found. so you get the impression that these people almost never discard their cameras, yet somehow manage to throw away their pants, shoes, socks, sleeping bags, food, beacons, etc. all the time. pretty weird behavior, and not consistent with (the unproven hypothesis) paradoxical undressing. often people ditch their clothes even when they go missing in temperate climates. sometimes their pants or shoes are found as little as a few hours after they first went missing. conditions where they couldn't possibly be hypothermic, unless they were suffering some kind of bizarre genetic disorder affecting their thermoregulation/homeostasis.

      Back east the Jeepers Creepers are called Hillbillies. Out west they are called Druggies!!! Dangerous and evil, laws rules and regulations do not seem to apply to them. Only to law abiding citizens. Many of these missing people are probably kidnapped raped robbed tortured like a cat with a mouse and then killed. It seems that some of them are later placed in water and/or areas already searched so they can be found. Thus no mass numbers of people probing the area so the low life types are back in business. I think mostly they steal from campsites but if they can get the drop on someone???

    When you look at the incidences of people who have gone missing or have been discovered dead in suspicious circumstances,in similar regions throughout the world,I.e Dyatlov pass,one common thread that binds Dyatlov with some of the US disappearances is the deployment of military units,and not just any units but special forces,Spetsnaz units combed the Dyatlov area and the mountain troop of delta force combed the area where a 5 year old boy went missing,obviously,the military know what is potentially out there,whether it is a military experiment gone drastically wrong or they know that there are cryptids roaming these area,I.e bigfoot and the yeti,who knows,but it's interesting that these military units would be deployed in a very small number of these occurrences.Also,when they were deployed they were very heavily armed and they would have no contact with the other search and rescue teams,for sure,someone in government knows exactly what is going on.

    I was in the redwoods a few years ago, with my little family and my boyfriend's family, there was nobody else on the trail, and we were walking through the trails for a little while, before we left i really had to go to the bathroom and there was no bathroom. So I went back up into the trail by myself, deep into the redwoods and the really big ferns they have. Anyway, I found a secluded spot, and went to the bathroom. While I was going, I had this strange, creepy feeling of being watched. I looked around and nothing was there. Gave me goosebumps, I hurried up and ran back to my family. Before I got into the car I looked one more time and just had a strange feeling. I didn't know about the missing people in state parks till last year. I would have never went alone if I knew what I knew now. Thank God I didn't disappear. Scares me when I think about it.

    I had participated in 30+ searches in my SAR career(mostly in NYS). For one..people are not prepared properly to hike...they also do not have a means to stay in the woods overnight. Lost persons are usually found well outside the search area. Most of these "disappearances" sound like ill-prepared hikers and/or intentional disappearances. Most people never look behind them when they hike or go off trail...so they have no idea what the return trip looks like. Many people getting lost after stepping 150 feet off the trail (usual rules for "restroom" breaks). They get lost and disoriented and never find the trail. Many folks when lost walk in circles or they follow drainages/creeks. Hypothermia and panic play a big role in why these people are found so far or never found. I find that in many cases rivers that are deemed unpassable or other natural barriers the IC folks use as lines to define search areas are not adequate as an estimate of how far the person could be. Another factor in all this is that people may carry compasses and maps and GPSs, but they do not know how to use them.

I actually spoke with a buddy who was a Navy seal and he agreed with me and he has much more experience in the water than I do.
      All of that said, why not ask about my opinion before convicting me of being a jerk? I love stories like these, yet I am 100% OK with calling out total bullshit if I see it. I’m not sure why that would bother anyone else because my opinion can’t hurt you... it can’t cause any harm... it’s just an opinion.
      I feel really bad for people who seek validation from strangers on social media, and I always ask people who get upset over stupid comments, why? Why does it matter what other people think? And if it does matter why not first ask some questions to gain clarification on why they think the way they do? What is your motivation?
      If you’re motivation is to suggest to someone they handle something differently do you think approaching them in a non-accusatory manner might work better? I’m curious to know what you think.
      I too am very happy I did not drown that day, yet I learned a lot after that about how the body works in cold water. I’m looking forward to reply.
      Cheers.

He told me that theres a type of a mist that can appear especially in bad weather and can take a person miles and miles away after that the person doesnt remember a thing, He lived on high altitudes of almost 3000m.

    Avid hiker in my local area not a state national park, usual routine but had a gut feeling something was waiting for me, turned back. I could hear loud thumps on the ground when I was jogging back to my truck. Didn’t think much it. Invisible, couldn’t see it? Day3 Something made a loud growl outside my door, ran away, the whole street lit up with dog barks/ use to live close to where I use to hike. Day4 strange noises outside, pebbles thrown at my house.Day 7 something climbed on top of the house and stayed there, went back to sleep. Morning I couldn’t force myself awake, felt I was suffocating. Tried to fall sleep since I couldn’t wake up so as not to use more oxygen than needed. Eventually woke up. Day 9. Strange noises again, went outside with rifle, nothing, went to sleep. Two weeks later, saw the creature, gray alien looked all dark under moonlight? Moved away couple months later.

    Being a local here, it is also possible that Mark traveled downhill toward the creek. Even in the state he was in, downhill would make sense and certainly within a range he could have gotten to. No mention of it being downhill or uphill is really mentioned by David Paulides. This just appears to be a case of a perfect set of circumstances and poor decisions that led to hypothermia. First, they got went on the way up in the rain, than walked into the snow with clothes still wet. Once your cold, you don't feel the wet as much once you get into the colder air but your losing your internal core heat, so your body gives up circulation to the extremities to protect the cooling core. Less also to the brain, so also hypoxia plays a role here too.
    Paradoxia/ acute hypoxia can occur not only at very high elevations, but lower as well. On Everest this is lack of oxygen due to high elevation. But it can be induced by hypothermia at lower elevations. It's still the body reacting to the cold to protect the heart core. Hypoxia is workable situation when high, dry and cold relieved. But not very workable if its brought on by hypothermia from being wet in the cold and unaware of it. Walking up even further into snow make for a worst case event for Hypoxic-hypothermia event. It's important to make it a priority to get dry so you can stave off hypothermia and becoming hypoxic because of it. Survivable if they would have stopped, removed wet cotton clothes and got in their sleeping bags after a fire or at least dried off even without a change of cloths. The first hiker knew this and turned back and its better to hike back alone, than do anything Ben and Mark were planning to do. Clearly, they had no map otherwise they would have seen the shelter on their map a few hundred yards further up. Or at this point, they were both hypoxic and didn't think of looking at it.
    Hypoxia kills your senses and higher functions. They clearly didn't know how far along the trail and exactly where they were, maybe even roughly where the were. The advantage over being hypoxic at a lower elevation than being up high over 10,000 feet is once you are warm. oxygen returns to the extremities and brain. At high elevations supplemental O2 is needed or a dex shot. Much harder issues to solve. Imo, they were hypothermic hours before reaching the snow line and hypoxia could have onset before the snow line, by 6pm ,maybe before. No mention of them detailing the map if they had one, even at the time the first hiker turned around. At this point, they all weren't thinking the same. You are hours and quite far in a state of hypoxia when you start taking off your clothes for feeling hot or too warm. Mark was further along in this process as he had more issues on the way up than Ben. Probably got the most wet on the way up. This would explain why Ben never got to the point Mark did overnight. No account if Ben managed to dry off more in his sleeping bag than Mark did. Possibly already too hypoxic to think to dry off, as he would have already been feeling falsely warm from his condition. The sleeping bag and clothes would have felt unbearable. Got up and wandered off looking to cool off. The brain thinks water below instinctively to cool down. To him, it wouldn't have been more serious of an issue than taking a quick bathroom relief in the woods, no need to wake Ben.

    We used to go hiking and camping in the Smokey's 2-3 times a year. We didn't even do camp sites, just pull off the road and find a spot in the woods next to a stream. I don't know if you can even do that anymore but this was 20 years ago. It's scary to hear these stories because we used to always go off in the woods as kids and run ahead on trails!!!!

    Excellent video!👍 I also think that the first story is basically a case of hypothermia. It is not abnormal enough, based on this information, to be a "Missing 411" type of case. But I don't know all the facts of the case either.
    I was thinking about how people are found in places far off the trails. Like the mother that was supposed to meet her daughter in the parking lot. Could there be something that catches one's attention and lures them away? It would have to be something which is able to mesmerize them or perhaps imitate the voice of a loved one in order to make them panic enough to override common sense. Just a thought.

You actually gave some very insightful criticism and pointed out things that he never seems to mention that is a big reason why many people may be found with out shoes or coats on that he makes seem like is so bewildering, while anyone with any knowledge of camping or hypothermia know. I do enjoy his work and it has intrigued me for sure.
    I just think some things he points out as mysterious are actually pretty straightforward and he's trying to add spook factor where none is needed and therefore hurts his credibility.
