A lot of people have suggested an avalanche theory. This was pretty much ruled out because of all the people on Shasta that day. People were going up and down all day long. There was a large encampment of people at Lake Helen. Nobody saw an avalanche. If one occurred, it would have been noticed. If Carl somehow made it past the gulch, then anything is possible. Though, I'd be more inclined to say he slipped and fell somewhere.
I think the most plausible theory(which I'm sure you've already read in the comments) is that Carl had another bout of diarrhea coming on and for some privacy stepped far off trail to relieve himself. At which point he likely fell out of sight and succumbed to a fall. There's still the question of the body but maybe it's under debris and got obscured.
Many people on the Mtn that day, so someone wearing the same colors as him and moving slow (as you did yourself), they could have easily fixated on that person thinking it was him, and didnt even see Carl standing off someplace else. This whole theory is predicated on this "person" wearing the same colors as Carl, was indeed him. - maybe it wasn't.
@@clinteastwood6875 I think that's why he got the 'headstart' on the hike in the first place. As for the body not being found, what gear he did have on hand, wasn't found either, so his demise restricted him from using it. From what I know, your BP(blood pressure) becomes a huge concern for the elderly that are dehydrated from diarrhea. It drops very low.
Thanks for the update. I was thinking maybe he somehow got caught in a rockslide. If he's buried under rocks that could explain why he hasn't been found. When you say "avalanche" would that also include a rockslide? But given the fact that there were other hikers around I supposed someone would have seen or heard such an event.
My Grandfather died on mount Shasta. He fell while climbing the ice on the north side. The only reason they ever found him was because the snow parted and revealed him and two hikers just happened to see him. It’s an incredibly difficult hike and the snow can easily hide a body. Going a bit off the trail to go to the bathroom or just having a slip and land in snow could easily be your demise and no one will find you.
I don't think people realize that there was a lot more snow on the mountain at the time Carl disappeared. Watch some of the vids where people ascend Mount Shasta. There is one where they snowboard down to beat the sunset. It is possible, Carl went on an involuntarily snow ride, which might explain there was no real trace of him on the trail. IMO, his remains are on the mountain. I do not find this incident that baffling or unexplainable either. Accidents happen. Edit: Zealous Beast took a look at this case about a week ago.
Indeed. I used to spend a good deal of time mountaineering in the Sierra. I'm estimating that we reached our destination about 25% of the time, the rest being chalked up to knowing when to turn around.
Seeing the terrain in person adds a new element to the case. It’s so open and barren, as you state. How someone could just disappear and NEVER be found is baffling. And yes, that jacket would have 💯 stood out against that backdrop…..so strange
Yeah, that's the only reason I stand by a supernatural/paranormal theory. Every avalanche argument just seems to be shut down by a piece of evidence, especially given he was moving slow yes the elderly can cover some ground some times at a deceptive rate but Carl was also this is also usually with a town level infrastructure or when they just up and go fully rested and Carl wasn't and Shasta clearly doesn't have the infrastructure to allow for that.
Ridiculous right… I’ve never planned a hike with a group of friends, show up and proceed to say.. see you guys later… 0 logic, we showed up together, we’re sticking together
Yeah thought weirdly the footage and investigation to me only makes me double down on the supernatural. I am a big player and believer in the numbers game and I don't buy an avalanche killed him, especially since there's so many rebuttals to that. Namely the lack of one reported and even if there was one I think the snow melting would've uncovered at least some personal effects if not a body. If it was natural *someone* by now especially after a fairly well done search would've found something. Shasta isn't this hole in the wall secret hideout, it's a well-known place that not just hikers and climbers but also geologists go to, I can't shake that at all.
The fact that you went ahead and climbed Mount Shasta really shows you dedication to your channel. This was incredible to watch. What a beautiful place.
*I survived a mountain fall,* similar to this type. I was rolling down so fast, having slipped on an ice patch....I bounced then became airborne. My 60lb pack saved my life by protecting me. I fell almost to the bottom, repeatedly hitting rock outcrops, gaining speed then was stopped by slamming into a deep snow drift and was completely covered in snow. My fellow hikers could not see me, but I pulled myself over, onto my side, and called until someone arrived and was carried out as I couldn't walk. *It took 2+ hours to hike up to the ridge, but only seconds to fall down to the base. Panorama Ridge, 1974.*
I was lucky to be alive to call out and that others witnessed my descent -- otherwise, most likely, I wouldn't have been found covered up in the snow. And we know with snow that, when it melts, it doesn't take long for scavengers to clean up. Very sadly.
One thing to keep in mind; If the poor man had diarrhea, once he got up past the treeline, it's much more difficult to find any areas of privacy so those bathroom breaks would likely have taken him much further off the trail. It's still incredibly mysterious that they never found any trace of him. I just think it's important to consider the fact that he actually had a plausible reason to have wandered quite a bit off the trail... which makes his getting lost and/or running into some other form of danger much more feasible. My sincere condolences to Carl's family and loved ones. Also, thank you for another phenomenal production, TMA. I think I speak for everybody when I say we greatly appreciate the time and effort you put into these presentations... and your artwork is absolutely outstanding. Please, keep up the amazing work, my friend.
I can answer one of those mysterious questions "why doesn't The Missing Enigma release more videos"? Because good research takes time and when TME does release a video I know it's gonna be good so I get to savior it, much like a kid opening presents on Christmas day. And a big Thank You to TME!
Absolutely agree, I rather wait weeks/months for another great video like this one, with research, and him actually going out there, then the average "stock footage + I read the wiki summary you" type videos. He is amazing, and quality is well worth the wait.
Plenty of other good channels to watch waiting for a new TME video! The Lore Lodge and Windegoon are good to watch especially when the cover the same story to hear their theories on what might have happened.
Physically fit at sixty-nine years old. Taking altitude meds, suffering from diarrea, not drinking enough water or eating enough food, unable to carry his pack, and unwilling to turn back and try another time. What could possibly go wrong? Great investigation, as always. 😊 On another note, Weed is a funny town.
@@nrgltwrkr2225 At 14:50 my thought was "There is no way these guys should go up". Carl sounds like he's about to die, just from his behavior. There's even a quote about how he thinks the is the last chance he'll ever have to do this hike? What?!?!!? Why?
Right, all of that contributed to him being unable to keep up with his companions. And to make matters worse, he seems to be the stoic type who doesn't like to feel like he's inconveniencing others. So, he'll downplay the difficulties he's having and say he's fine even if he's the extreme opposite. I'm only 15 minutes in and can tell this won't meet TME's standard for considering paranormal possibilities, but I feel enthralled by the content, nonetheless. *Edit: Interesting conclusion that subverted my initial expectations.*
@@marhawkman303 That could just be his age. 69 year old knees don't work as well as 60 year old knees. Mount Shasta may be a beginner's hike but it is long and arduous.
@@Nilboggen He might have been thinking of that.... But the way he was acting... wasn't directly related to his knees. TME was talking about symptoms like altitude sickness... and... I'm not sure that was the only reason. But that wouldn't be part of how he disappeared, it'd be just why he was in a hurry, despite being in bad health.
I did SAR some years back and many missing elderly cases. Old folks not fully in possession of their faculties can cover astounding distances is poor terrain. My own granny walked out of her house on a farm at 4 a.m. one winter night ... barefoot in her nighties. We lived nearby and were up early, saw her door open, went to see what was going on. Turned out she wandered behind the house, fell down a little hill and got covered in leaves, completely invisible. After a frantic search our dog found her -- cold, a little scratched, but okay. If I didn't have the dog, she might as well have been picked up by aliens -- by spring there would have been nothing left. She said she was going out for coffee but couldn't find the cafe!
@reyo6353 Before my mother went into a nursing home she had Alzheimer's. My dad had to watch over her constantly to make sure she didn't wander off. One day, he got distracted and she wandered out of the house into the neighborhood. She wandered down the street and walked into a neighbor's house and sat on their couch. The neighbor, although not a friend of my father's, knew who my mother was and where she lived. He brought her back to the house and my dad was quite surprised to say the least. He was not aware that she had gone missing. After that he made sure that the doors were locked at all times.
With all due respect. For some reason this reminds me of as little kid hearing about old elephants walking off to the "elephant graveyard"😢 Maybe it's nature's way.
I thought that exactly, I guess it's very telling that the only two cases are from people that are elderly. Old people and kids can wonder off on a blink, also at that time, maybe Alzheirmer wasn't so much know, so he could be presenting the signs but unnaware., That could've led to poor decision making. I'm no doctor, but I would bet exhaustion could at it's peak, reach a state that the person just has a sudden spike of adrenalin, just like when someone is in very critical state gets better just to pass out shortlyafter, people feeling super hot and removing their clothes on hypothermia etc. He may have felt better for a moment, which was just enough for him to get out of sigth, wonder and then collapse.
The fact that you experienced the same symptoms and experienced the same “it would be such a pity to give up now” feeling that Carl probably felt is quite poignant. I could see myself in his shoes, hiking so far and pushing through discomfort just to see the hike through to the end. Nobody really thinks it could happen to them, it’s really easy to judge someone from behind a screen. That’s why I love this channel so much.
I'm the opposite - stomach upset? Get me off this mountain NOW. I wouldn't care how long I'd been planning the hike. I'd turn around in an instant. Then again I would be that person who would not want to mess it up for anyone else and insist I go back down on my own and let the rest of my group go on. So..... I'd probably end up dead anyway. 😆
Ngl Im about 13 minutes in and I'm thinking to myself "How is THIS going to turn out to be almost paranormal? Literally everything that could go wrong IS going wrong"
Yeah, me too. It seriously sounded like a disaster waiting to happen. Diarrhea a place like that would be awful. I'm not sure how seasoned hikers deal with it, but things like that can act up quick and urgently. I'd likely, hurriedly, go looking for some hard to find place if that happened.
@@humanbeing2420 Yeah, choosing to continue to climb a mountain in that condition, when you could easily turn back is crazy... It's not like a cozy bed and Pedialyte was waiting for him or something either. Just higher elevation, so probably just worse symptoms.
First of all, I give you SO much credit for doing that hike. It really does help to see the place. The trail looks less & less visible the higher you go - you even said it's easy to veer off of it. He must've been the guy going up the harder trail alone, & maybe got off track, slipped & fell, causing other rocks to fall too & bury him. No one around to see or hear. That seems the most logical explanation. Amazing, after hearing terrible stories, people still insist on doing things alone. Even YOU shouldn't have been up there alone!! Tsk, tsk, I'm glad you came to your senses & turned around!! I hope Carl is found someday. Has anyone thought of sending drones up w cameras?
I thought drones would be a good idea too, it would be interesting to see the whole area via drone. Suspect rock fall covering him may still limit their findings though.
We recently moved to Mt Shasta. There is something a little eerie about the woods here, and that’s coming from someone who moved from the PNW. I can see why the mountain and surrounding woods give life to strange legends! The sky can be so blue, the mountain so white, the trees so green. It’s like living in a painting on a sunny day. Also… was anyone else nervous seeing this guy being sick-ish and alone in the exact spot someone went missing forever 😬
@@nuckinfuts7610Yeah, that’s the way I see it. I’m 30. But, my younger cousins and stuff barely ever watch TV if EVER. It’s all streaming services or UA-cam and similar content. I understand why. I turned the TV on yesterday and there isn’t much of anything plus watching commercials? Yeah, hard pass on that.
Same here and 10000000% AGREE. I can’t imagine going back to times when TV was the only thing you could watch and of course that meant you didn’t get to watch what you wanted, you just got to watch what was on, which usually sucked lol. What a great distance technology has advanced in such a short time!
my theory after seeing the landscape is that he went off trail to use the bathroom and triggered a rockslide that was small enough to not be noticed but large enough to where it buried him.
Makes sense. It's certainly possible and it's hard to think of anything else that is (at least if we exclude supernatural explanations; like a UFO is maybe not impossible but rock slide seems rather more plausible).
Quite possible. Only recently a 40 year mystery got its closure. The remains of a caring husband and avid hunter were discovered beneath what could have been once a large rock or rocky offshoot that had fallen over him, crushing him instantaneously. After decades the rocks had split enough to expose the remains. The day he was found, his wife had a dream in which she recollected her husband telling her “he was coming home”. Nothing but a miracle.
Agreed. This gentleman has put a story together with rational thought research and presentation. Now... I'm sure I left my keys on the bench...please help...
Actually, Dave Paulides did better. He thoroughly covered this case on the History Chanel show Vanished. Climbed the mountain…interviewed his wife..etc
@@Wasteland88 I’d wager that this guy is also a joke. Takes cases that others have already covered(this one by Paulides) and tries to make them his own.
@@Wasteland88 it’s akin to a cover band. Someone else covers a story, then another jumps on it to add some additional context and make it look like they thought to research it on their own. Dave seems to have a lot more irons in the fire than this guy, which is why I’m guessing he didn’t spend as much time uncovering the additional details. Is he purposely leaving stuff out? That’s subjective. But I’m not fooled by the many who take cases he’s covered and try to regurgitate them with their own spin. That’s lazy. The additional details added in this version don’t get anyone any closer to figuring out what happened to the guy, and therefore are just fluff. But to each their own.
We visited Mount Shasta. Didn't get much farther than the parking lot and just walking around in a localized Trail area. But what a magical place. There's no question that mountain is special.
Last week I was walking in the woods putting flags on a property line. I fell into a hole up to my waist. Straight through the heavy buildup of decomposing leaves into a hole that seemed to be the rotted repains of a tree root structure. When it happened i was easily able to get out, but I remembered the video you did about out of the box reasons people almost disappeared before being found in a hwell/crevasse/under a boulder.
And lava tubes. A fall that injures and/or results in death doesn't mean a body will be ound. Animals, insects and the elements wil decompose and scatter bones except MAYBE traces.
My family & I were fishing in Alaska & we needed to walk around a small lake w/peat moss..Weighing 110lbs I sunk an inch or two. The others weighed 145lb + & sunk 4"+. With some peat you can sink up to your knee or hip..
As an elderly person, for the life of me I can't understand why anyone pushes themselves beyond their obvious limits. Such a sad story. I can't even imagine how miserable he must have been, and that's before his disappearance! Tragic for all concerned.
My thoughts exactly. Why on earth did they send their friend up the mountain alone when he was clearly struggling with sickness the day before and was likely severely dehydrated due to sickness, diarrhea and not taking on enough fluids. Crazy.
When I was 14 or so I was camping with my family in the Rio Grande Forest. We set up tent maaaybe 75 ft from the car. I went to the car to get something, stepped off the part on the way back to get a closer look at some animal bones-I immediately was lost. It was literally instantaneous, I don’t know how else to describe it. One or two steps off the way and all of a sudden I didn’t know where I was. I spent the next four or five hours wandering around the forest calling for help until I lucked onto another road. Nature can be incredibly disorienting for the uninitiated. I see why it’s so easy for people to go missing and why there are so many myths about fairies confusing people in the woods.
so true ! even for people that a good internal compass when visual clues fail you only memory is your aid....that is why when you realise you are lost don't panic and think what direction did you come from ! follow your tracks if you can... if you have no clue at all stand still.....do not start walking....that will get you hopelessly lost....know how to locate the north star know that the sun rises in the east and sets in the west.... think first before you start wandering off it can save your life.... i'm here to tell you it is EASY to get lost alot easier than most think!
@mp-og7ly Your story doesn't make sense. Even if you walked 30 feet off of a trail you would still be able to see where the trail is and find your way back. Nothing you wrote adds up.
Half a lifetime ago, I moved from sea level to Vail, CO. It took me three months to get used to the altitude of 9,000 feet. Everyday felt like I was pulling a wagon full of lead. Then one day it was easy. I loved the mountains and managed to bag a few Fourteeners. Even though I lived at 9,000 feet and was in great shape, each climb was painful and exhausting for myself and my experienced companions. From experience, it's easy to see how one could become disoriented from dehydration and altitude. But to vanish in plain sight? Thanks for all the time and work you put into your presentations! ❤
"How is it my fault that when you look at all the facts of a case, it doesn't look paranormal anymore?" just found your channel on my recommended and right off the bat you gained a new viewer haha
The reason I love this channel is because of your skepticism and the fact that you often go to the location. That’s so helpful in imagining what really happened. Thanks for having high standards!
Dude, I love you because you deal in the realm of reality. The scientific method is in short supply all over the world, nowadays and I’m glad you still stick to it.
I say this on almost every video you post but thank you so much for your videos. In my opinion, your channel is the best, most accurate, most factual, and most informative of the period missing person shows out there on the Internet. Your research is stellar. Your conjectures are sound. Your reasoning is legit. 7:46
This is the first time I've ever heard this case recounted where the fact he was having health issues is ever mentioned. Which I think is rather telling about some of the more general paranormal accounts.
I like David Paulides likely always will he's done some good work absolutely, however and in large part thanks to channels such as this, there are 2 explanations for some of what he does regarding specific cases sometimes, #1 He is not as good a researcher as seems to be the case or as claimed, or #2 He has at times deliberately omitted certain details. Sadly and obviously I have to assume its the latter. And I admit this as someone whose far from some over skeptical type, I literally believe in God and paranormal/supernatural all of it 1000 percent, Never the less i have to assume this about Mr Paulides at least when it comes to certain specific cases he has covered in his books like this one, or the Arron Hedges case I believe it was, it simply has to be him deliberately omitting certain details to imply a more unexplainable outcome as the culprit, which really is a shame cause its like a person hoaxing a ufo sighting, all it does is muddy the waters, and its even more lame because there are indeed genuinely pics/videos and sightings, so I really hate hoaxes most of all and leaving out certain details is also a darn shame.
He's 79. He's having a bad reaction to his meds. He most likely has low blood pressure due to the meds. After camping he moves ahead alone. I've seen others say he went off the trail to answer the call of nature fell and died. Covered by rocks or whatever. Well, maybe not. That area is known to be covered with undiscovered ancient lava tubes. Imagine going off the trail, lowering your pants and during the event of diarrhea your heart gives out from dehydration and low blood pressure of his altitude meds. You try to catch yourself but your pants prevent you from taking a step. You tumble forward and fall headfirst down the steep slope. You expect to smash your brains out as you fall and you do hit a few times, but quite unexpectedly as you would eventually fall and come to a rest you break through a thin layer of snow and slide down and ice covered lava tube toward wherever it terminates. No body. No smell. Maybe just down one of those slopes in a deep hole that appears to be a space in between some big rocks.
Theres another missing411 with three guys. One left to hunt on his own, never came back, body in a weird place Paulides failed to mention 1- he was an alcoholic 2- he was drunk 3- he decided he'd detox that weekend 4- he had meds with him to help with the withdrawal. And what they give you for that is benzos He was drunk, about to go through withdrawals, _probably_ took one in his drunken state, because he wanted it in his system before sobriety hit. Now hes mixed booze and benzos, and hes alone in the middle of the woods. Funnily enough, Paulides says he rules out cases involving drugs and/or alcohol. (I dunno if thats how you spell his name, im tired)
@@bloodyneptune he recently did an episode of Coast to Coast and finally includes these details. I can only assume he started getting so much heat for intentionally leaving out facts that might rule out the paranormal element that got so many hooked
Nick you are polar opposite of D.P. and thats why this channel is #1 in my book. No drama, clickbait etc etc And you dont convieniently leave out facts to make the story artificially sensational. We LOVE missing enigma! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I follow D.P for a bit until things he talked about went from possible to wack and then it got too political..Then I found this channel and the real research and non drama chased the D.P away for good..Missing 411 was really missing reality..Thank you and All the best🇬🇧🇺🇸👍
Hey, I adore this channel! Great stuff!I used to not believe in the paranotmal until I lived through a year of paranormal hell. Opened my eyes and I don't see the world the same way anymore. I never go to sleep or wake up without praying and I never will..."the spiritual realm is as varied as the animal kingdom"
The level of objectivity and healthy skepticism is why I enjoy your reports so much. While I have a high interest in things that *are* paranormal, I appreciate that you do the extra work before simply jumping to that kind of conclusion. With that said, this is indeed one strange case. Love your channel!
Hi again. I left a long, rambling comment earlier airing my views on what people like to call "the paranormal", and I completely neglected to tell you what a great job you did creating this video! I'm really impressed that you went all the way up the mountain to the place where Mr. Landers disappeared. It was a brave and obviously difficult thing to do, and I think that it was impressive. Thank you for showing us all the view from the ground level. It was wonderful to have a chance to see Mount Shasta up close. All the best to you, and thanks again! --N
There's so many excellent things about this channel but I think my favorite is the perfect balance that Nick manages to strike between being entirely open minded to any and all possibilities to explain mysterious happenings, yet at the same time remains very grounded in reality at every beat along the way. He never outright dismisses the more fantastical explanations like extraterrestrials or supernatural occurrences, but always explores every logical route in depth, and manages to construct very rational hypotheses without invoking stuff like alien abduction or alternate dimensions. It's just enough to inflame the imagination without flying off into crazy land.
I've probably said this before but I really admire your dedication and integrity. And I hope you don't listen to naysayers who dislike your drawings (I remember you saying on Lore Lodge that was a thing people were saying in your comments), they're great and give your videos such a unique look. Honestly your work is outstanding in every possible way!
The art is what initially hooked me! The hand-drawn pieces used for the thumbnails are really eyecatching, and the artwork throughout the videos, I feel, really add to the storytelling. I know they're a lot of work to do, but I love them a lot.
Right? Among people doing slideshows and just recording themselves talk, the drawings are such a cool addition. I think it really gets your imagination going too
It baffles me why people continue on when any one of them is in physical distress. And not continuously being physically together as a team makes no sense to me either. I've never been with any group where we didn't pace our excursion for the slowest or least experienced of us, turning back as a team on 2 occassions that I recall. It was never even spoken of... just a natural understanding. This story is sad and tragic for everyone involved. RIP Carl, and prayers that his companions were able to forgive themselves and find peace with what happened. We all make iffy judgement calls throughout life's journey. We do the best we can
One of my biggest problems with the paranormal community is the attitude you cover at the beginning. Instead of acknowledging that you are covering things that the "missing 411" believers claim are supernatural, they ask why you don't cover supernatural cases. I love bigfoot and cryptid stuff, but the people who want so badly for it to be real that they will dismiss any evidence that contradicts their beliefs. You see this a lot in flat earthers. Thank you for meticulously breaking down these cases without being condescending or rude to people who think it is supernatural.
@cboyles84 I don't disagree. When skeptics call everything an owl, it gets a little ridiculous. However, when a certain cryptid channel that I don't really want to put on blast apparently believes literally, every cryptid ever exists, or David Paulides intentionally leaving out evidence so people don't realize just how mundane some of those cases are. That shit annoys me, I want paranormal investigation to be taken seriously, and when people do and say stupid things, it destroys the reputation of the entire community.
I'd like to know what these flat earthers are think of when they hear people fell down a Mountain? Because they think the Earth is flat and there's no mountains!
Yes this 1000%. It’s the same in cases that have no logical explanation and the extreme skeptics refuse to look into supernatural possibilities (this is a lot more rare however, like a lot). It’s like, let’s look at all the facts first, delve into them and see how we feel on the other side before going to supernatural stuff, and if we get to that side and can’t find anything don’t stop there.
Your channel should be so much bigger. Your calm, rationale, take on these cases are not only rare, but a relief to hear on UA-cam these days. On top of that, your investigative prowess, along with your ability to look at the evidence with an unbiased point of view, is a respectable quality. Good work, sir. I look forward to listening to your work for years to come. And will push out this channel to anyone that will listen.
While there are a TON of channels of this genre out there, you are by FAR head-and-shoulders above all the others, and in all honesty, the standard others should look to achieve some day. The research and investigating methods you put forth in each of your videos are second to none, and it is truly appreciated that you simply look at the known facts, and most realistic theories, as opposed to going to the sensationalism route. Please, keep doing what you're doing!!!
The music on your hike matched the scenery so well: beautiful, with a slightly eerie undertone. The only thing I can think is that he perhaps fell and tumbled down and creating a rock slide as he fell, perhaps got wedged under a large boulder and the tumbling rocks and blowing snow covered him? I dunno, this one stumps me too.
I really love this channel! I found myself saying "Oooooooo!! Yay! A video from Missing Enigma!!" I realized then I only do that for two channels: "Missing Enigma" and "Moonlight Cottage" an asmr channell. Thank you for all you do! I'm on a very small budget on SS but if I come into any extra money, I'll be sure to support you in Patreon! Great work!
This is am Amazon video. The footage is beautifully filmed. TY so much! You've gone above & beyond for us on your journey & incorporating a missing person case makes it even more interesting. You brought a tear to my eye with your passion, determination & motivation. TY from the UK ❤
It's refreshing to hear a video of this kind with an honest and frank introduction such as this. I've seen countless videos that start with the narrator telling us how a disappearance happened in a remote, desolate and unpopulated wilderness, and then ignoring everything they've just described as a factor and ascribing it to something 'paranormal' or 'mysterious'.
With all the channels that play up the "paranormal" angle for views your careful investigation, concise presentation of the case, carefulness in differentiating between known facts and conjecture is refreshing. Especially your compassion for the missing and their loved ones. I feel you do an excellent job presenting these cases with an eye towards compassion, understanding, and making sure the facts are known.
I completely understand how miserable and debilitating altitude sickness is. It genuinely hurts. You can be desperate to eat and it just comes up. I could get water down but still had a horrible time breathing and walking was insanely exhausting. Sleep was bad and with little to no food it was hard to feel warm.
Visiting the settings for many of your investigations brings so much more understanding and detail to already fantastic stories. Mega respect. Yes, we want more. Just, fabulous.
I truly appreciate that you don’t easily jump to “paranormal” theories. The whole Missing 411 concept and its proponents are so invested in implicating paranormal explanations that cases are presented with lies, half-truths, or omissions.
Thanks for taking the time to share your hike with us and glad you stayed safe. Summers in that area can get brutal despite the snow and cold mornings.
Thank you for not going down the paranormal nonsense rabbit hole. I appreciate your dedication to facts, clues, evidence, empirical data, logic, and reason. You’re everything the others are not when it comes to missing persons.
_The Missing Enigma_ and _Lore Lodge_ are the only ones I can watch anymore. They both do their own independent research on a case instead of simply regurgitating the same idiotic, misinformed, sensationalized David Paulides' BS, that omits key information, facts and rational thought like Mr Ballsack and the rest do.
@@TheUncleRuckusThe sad irony is that channels hopping on the unexplained train for views really ruin any serious speculation or deep dive into genuinely unexplained/unnerving deaths in the wilderness. My mind jumps to the guy who ended up halfway up a tree with the branches above him broken or the photographer who had apparently semi melted in place
Your footage of the hike and mountain for this case is fantastic. I really love how you do everything possible to give us the most realistic and true to the location information as possible
Given the frequency of his diarrhea I could see a sudden bathroom emergency as a motivating factor for him to venture in an illogical direction in search of some privacy. Still doesn't explain why he was never been found though. Next level commitment as always man
Most channels who cover this material don’t do the research you do, or done with the skepticism you have. You’ve shined the light on so many cases that everyone else on the internet labels as unexplained.
This is a tragic puzzle. How could this have happened, with all of the trails that were so visible? No idea. But I have nothing but respect for the coverage and for re-tracing all of the steps, here--kudos! This is one of the finest episodes, ever, covering this case.
I can't tell you how much I appreciate you going to some of these places! I have aphantasia, which means I don't have a "mind's eye" - I can't picture things "in my head." So that makes it difficult to get an idea of what a place actually looks like.
How fascinating. I've heard of someone not having an inner monologue but never this. I've spent so long trying to learn to ignore my inner monologue or my daydreaming and be present in the moment.
@@buddhamack1491 Yeah, I didn't realize aphantasia was a thing either until last year. I always thought that when someone says "picture this in your mind," they were speaking metaphorically. I didn't realize most people can actually SEE things in their MIND!!! The phrase "counting sheep" suddenly made much more sense! I feel like it's a superpower that I'm missing out on 🥺
Thanks for the comment, I didn't know this even existed. I live "in my head" and can visualize almost anything. In saying that, you're not missing out on any superpower. Most of us myself included, wish we could get rid of our daydreaming. Best of luck and thanks again.
@@EphemeralProductions I never even considered it until I realized most other people aren't like me. Apparently only about 2 to 4 percent of the population have aphantasia. When I was told that people do actually "see" things in their mind, it's not just metaphorical, it really did blow my mind!
There is ALWAYS a way to disappear in a wilderness without the “need” for paranormal. I like your channel because you DONT automatically go there, your research and work always satisfies me enough with natural explanations. Also, just because we may not have a complete understanding of what happens doesn’t mean it’s paranormal, we simply don’t know what happened. I live in a mountainous little town and after being here for 20 years and exploring on and off trail, I have discovered quite a few good spots that would make a person disappear very easily even with a very thorough search. A fall, animal encounter, injury, snow, weather etc and boom you are gone unless you can call for help.
I have a hunch those spots are perfect for disappearing for one reason that this mystery makes me stand by a paranormal explanation: a lack of foot traffic. Shasta isn't a hole in the wall and Carl clearly had limited mobility, someone would've found his body or his personal effects, namely his coat and especially after a search. I can't grasp how even an avalanche could kill him and not be found given the terrain and again, foot traffic alone. The camera has never really done how steep or big the mountain is for me. But I seriously doubt a place like Shasta being as dangerous for massive avalanches being open would be well allowed just on a legal level alone if it would cover a body as perfectly to disappear just naturally with the amount of again, foot traffic.
Your intro is why I like your channel. You go through as many reasonable possibilities as you can based on the evidence available. Too many channels just double down on whatever ridiculous legend sounds like it’ll generate views. It’s nice to see somebody using logic when examining these cases.
Good decision on turning back because you were sick. Well done. You're a good example for people. If they listen then maybe there will be less of these missing person cases.
I've been waiting impatiently for you to put out a video... I'm so glad I found your site. I've always been fascinated with missing people and I appreciate you not editing the story to fit Your narrative, so to speak. Not everything is supernatural and certain places will swallow you up. Volcanic tubes, caves, pits crevasses... cliffs, predators.. snow, heat, etc. Love your work.🇺🇲
had a similar experience on Mount Baldy over near LA. It was the first time I ever tried ascending a 10000' peak and I really felt the altitude at around 9000' and ended up turning back at 9200' when, like Carl, I found myself going five steps and pausing. I didn't want to put myself at risk given the trail had steep dropoffs on every side. Meanwhile locals were just casually jogging it in shorts and t-shirts. Oh well.
When I walked up Lassen Peak in August of 2022 since you dont really "climb"it, there were people with flip flops and track shorts with no water or anything just hauling the mail up the mountain LoL. Its nothing like Shasta although it is still tough enough even with a luxurious trail all the way to the top and there is just the most EPIC view of Lassen 60 miles away.
There's a short video going around of some hikers struggling up a steep mountain, and this monk in robes and sandals just casually walks right past them like he's having a leisurely stroll in the park. 😆 I guess if you live in mountainous areas, you get used to the altitude.
@@ElveeKaye ya seemed insane to me when locals at the GC were zooming down switchbacks in crocs not breaking a sweat and carrying a single bottle of water nothing else like wtf. ive never seen them turn back which means they went to complete the full trail which took me 10 hours...
Your content has evolved so much. I loved your old vids with the black and white drawings, but every video gets better and better. Fantastic work fren!
Well done for taking us up Mt. Shanta as far as you did. It was good to see the landscape and get an idea of the terrain when hiking. I always try and apply Ockham’s Razor principal, but this case even has me baffled. There’s just nowhere to hide.
I find myself literally waiting for you to release another video. Your research and journalism are beyond: you really cover all bases and stay professional. I appreciate your content. Stay safe on your future treks and investigations into missing persons cases. Thank you for being one of the better UA-cam channels out there!
as amazing as this channel is, the upload frequency is quite slow. he averages 1 upload every other week but if were talking about the upload average of new cases & subract his interviews & remakes from past cases were lucky to get one new upload case a month. Granted, id rather have a high quality piece than get a watered down once a week pace like mr ballen has severely struggled from. There simply isnt a way to make missing enigma quality uploads once a week. but if you factor in the research needed to make a video like this man makes including the art work, your 100% right.. Even at an upload every 2 weeks, videos like these at that pace is very very impressive.
I think what I like about this channel the most is you keep an open mind & respect others views who may differ from your own. Its easy to view missing person cases with unexplained issues & form one theory or another. I thought this is what the comment sections are for. Ive grown tired of other channels who can not stop to consider other's opinions or theories believing they are the expert and they're not to be challenged on anything connected to a missing case. Having an opinion or theory that differs from someone elses ( no matter who they are) does not have to be a negative or combative experience. It can be done respectfully & can provide an opportunity to learn on either side. I believe when these argumentive situations arrive from this it becomes less about the case at hand & more about who is right with the only evidence to support their case is a decades long, past history on the subject in general. While that may give you the upper hand in credibility & experience, it doesnt make you ALWAYS right. I apologize for the novel, but I wanted you to know its refreshing to see these cases being reviewed in such detail with such a high level of investigation done on your part. And you get it done without your ego getting in the way or having to put others down to do it. Awesome job as always!!❤
A lot of people have suggested an avalanche theory. This was pretty much ruled out because of all the people on Shasta that day. People were going up and down all day long. There was a large encampment of people at Lake Helen. Nobody saw an avalanche. If one occurred, it would have been noticed. If Carl somehow made it past the gulch, then anything is possible. Though, I'd be more inclined to say he slipped and fell somewhere.
I'd be curious as to what is going through DP's(David Paulides) head, as he watches this channel. You know he does lolz
I think the most plausible theory(which I'm sure you've already read in the comments) is that Carl had another bout of diarrhea coming on and for some privacy stepped far off trail to relieve himself. At which point he likely fell out of sight and succumbed to a fall. There's still the question of the body but maybe it's under debris and got obscured.
Many people on the Mtn that day, so someone wearing the same colors as him and moving slow (as you did yourself), they could have easily fixated on that person thinking it was him, and didnt even see Carl standing off someplace else.
This whole theory is predicated on this "person" wearing the same colors as Carl, was indeed him. - maybe it wasn't.
@@clinteastwood6875 I think that's why he got the 'headstart' on the hike in the first place. As for the body not being found, what gear he did have on hand, wasn't found either, so his demise restricted him from using it. From what I know, your BP(blood pressure) becomes a huge concern for the elderly that are dehydrated from diarrhea. It drops very low.
Thanks for the update. I was thinking maybe he somehow got caught in a rockslide. If he's buried under rocks that could explain why he hasn't been found. When you say "avalanche" would that also include a rockslide? But given the fact that there were other hikers around I supposed someone would have seen or heard such an event.
My Grandfather died on mount Shasta. He fell while climbing the ice on the north side. The only reason they ever found him was because the snow parted and revealed him and two hikers just happened to see him. It’s an incredibly difficult hike and the snow can easily hide a body. Going a bit off the trail to go to the bathroom or just having a slip and land in snow could easily be your demise and no one will find you.
Sorry about your grandpa, but I’m glad they were able to find him ❤
the guy went missing in a open snowfield sooo
Sorry for your family!
So hard to lose a loved one. Very sorry for your loss
I don't think people realize that there was a lot more snow on the mountain at the time Carl disappeared. Watch some of the vids where people ascend Mount Shasta. There is one where they snowboard down to beat the sunset. It is possible, Carl went on an involuntarily snow ride, which might explain there was no real trace of him on the trail. IMO, his remains are on the mountain. I do not find this incident that baffling or unexplainable either. Accidents happen. Edit: Zealous Beast took a look at this case about a week ago.
"You gotta know when to turn back"
The most important quote in the video.
I think that every morning when I consider going outside.
You got to know when to hold em, know when to fold em...
@@taxirob2248lmao damnit, Rob, you beat me to it😂
Indeed. I used to spend a good deal of time mountaineering in the Sierra. I'm estimating that we reached our destination about 25% of the time, the rest being chalked up to knowing when to turn around.
You got know when to hold em, know when to fold em.
Know when to walk away, know when to run.
Seeing the terrain in person adds a new element to the case. It’s so open and barren, as you state. How someone could just disappear and NEVER be found is baffling. And yes, that jacket would have 💯 stood out against that backdrop…..so strange
Yeah, that's the only reason I stand by a supernatural/paranormal theory. Every avalanche argument just seems to be shut down by a piece of evidence, especially given he was moving slow yes the elderly can cover some ground some times at a deceptive rate but Carl was also this is also usually with a town level infrastructure or when they just up and go fully rested and Carl wasn't and Shasta clearly doesn't have the infrastructure to allow for that.
really appreciate your skepticism , high standards and resistance for sensationalism.
*this*
His investigations are top notch!
SPOT ON ! The web is full of nonsense , please don't go that way.
I NEED ALIENS!!!1!
Mt Shastas history is literally polluted with strange and paranormal occurrences, yet skeptics will always ignore that
Three senior citizens hiking up a mountain. 50 mph winds. One has the runs so bad he can barely walk. Probably not the best time to split up
💯
Ridiculous right… I’ve never planned a hike with a group of friends, show up and proceed to say.. see you guys later… 0 logic, we showed up together, we’re sticking together
👍 as soon as you split up your asking for trouble. Just plain stupid.
They didn’t exactly split up, everyone was going the same direction, Carl just took a head start. But still yea, buddy system
Sounds like a horror movie plot😂
A lot of channels just retell the story for a scare but my guy here does an investigation and even go to the location. Just next level!
I really appreciate his clearing-up of the paranormal cases.
My guy is my guy bud
All the words that equate to "dude" in canada and eastern states are a preamble to a fist fight in the West.
@@stargatisDave Paulides THOROUGHLY covered this case on the History Chanel show Vanished
Next level. Better then Mr B. Allen.
Yeah thought weirdly the footage and investigation to me only makes me double down on the supernatural. I am a big player and believer in the numbers game and I don't buy an avalanche killed him, especially since there's so many rebuttals to that. Namely the lack of one reported and even if there was one I think the snow melting would've uncovered at least some personal effects if not a body. If it was natural *someone* by now especially after a fairly well done search would've found something. Shasta isn't this hole in the wall secret hideout, it's a well-known place that not just hikers and climbers but also geologists go to, I can't shake that at all.
The fact that you went ahead and climbed Mount Shasta really shows you dedication to your channel. This was incredible to watch. What a beautiful place.
*I survived a mountain fall,* similar to this type. I was rolling down so fast, having slipped on an ice patch....I bounced then became airborne. My 60lb pack saved my life by protecting me. I fell almost to the bottom, repeatedly hitting rock outcrops, gaining speed then was stopped by slamming into a deep snow drift and was completely covered in snow. My fellow hikers could not see me, but I pulled myself over, onto my side, and called until someone arrived and was carried out as I couldn't walk. *It took 2+ hours to hike up to the ridge, but only seconds to fall down to the base. Panorama Ridge, 1974.*
I was lucky to be alive to call out and that others witnessed my descent -- otherwise, most likely, I wouldn't have been found covered up in the snow. And we know with snow that, when it melts, it doesn't take long for scavengers to clean up. Very sadly.
I'm glad you survived, friend.
Amazing you survived 😮 Glad you’re here to share your story
I am in awe. Your story reflects both human resiliency, and nature’s magnificence. Glad you are here my friend 👍
Goodness gracious! Thank you for sharing your story with us, and especially thanks for living to tell the tale!
One thing to keep in mind; If the poor man had diarrhea, once he got up past the treeline, it's much more difficult to find any areas of privacy so those bathroom breaks would likely have taken him much further off the trail. It's still incredibly mysterious that they never found any trace of him. I just think it's important to consider the fact that he actually had a plausible reason to have wandered quite a bit off the trail... which makes his getting lost and/or running into some other form of danger much more feasible.
My sincere condolences to Carl's family and loved ones. Also, thank you for another phenomenal production, TMA. I think I speak for everybody when I say we greatly appreciate the time and effort you put into these presentations... and your artwork is absolutely outstanding. Please, keep up the amazing work, my friend.
He should have stayed near the other men.
"A bottle of wine, whiskey, and fried chicken...everything the body needs..." 🤣
Great episode as usual! 👍
You gotta grab some green bro. 😂😂
My daily fried chicken and whiskey clearly needs a wine upgrade
PopTarts will get you up that mountain! LoL
That sounds like a last ride...
That is exactly what I thought too.
I can answer one of those mysterious questions "why doesn't The Missing Enigma release more videos"? Because good research takes time and when TME does release a video I know it's gonna be good so I get to savior it, much like a kid opening presents on Christmas day. And a big Thank You to TME!
Absolutely agree, I rather wait weeks/months for another great video like this one, with research, and him actually going out there, then the average "stock footage + I read the wiki summary you" type videos. He is amazing, and quality is well worth the wait.
Plenty of other good channels to watch waiting for a new TME video! The Lore Lodge and Windegoon are good to watch especially when the cover the same story to hear their theories on what might have happened.
You are appreciated.
Mostly what I said on Patreon post, not the Christmas reference though.
When he goes quiet you know he's either cooking up something good or has fallen off a cliff, so it's really feast or famine with this one.
You climbed Mt. Shasta, that’s impressive.
Well, part of it.
Physically fit at sixty-nine years old. Taking altitude meds, suffering from diarrea, not drinking enough water or eating enough food, unable to carry his pack, and unwilling to turn back and try another time. What could possibly go wrong?
Great investigation, as always. 😊
On another note, Weed is a funny town.
My thoughts exactly, as a trail guide once said, "put your hiking boots on and take your hubris OFF, or the trail will surely bring you trouble."
@@nrgltwrkr2225 At 14:50 my thought was "There is no way these guys should go up". Carl sounds like he's about to die, just from his behavior. There's even a quote about how he thinks the is the last chance he'll ever have to do this hike? What?!?!!? Why?
Right, all of that contributed to him being unable to keep up with his companions. And to make matters worse, he seems to be the stoic type who doesn't like to feel like he's inconveniencing others. So, he'll downplay the difficulties he's having and say he's fine even if he's the extreme opposite. I'm only 15 minutes in and can tell this won't meet TME's standard for considering paranormal possibilities, but I feel enthralled by the content, nonetheless. *Edit: Interesting conclusion that subverted my initial expectations.*
@@marhawkman303 That could just be his age. 69 year old knees don't work as well as 60 year old knees. Mount Shasta may be a beginner's hike but it is long and arduous.
@@Nilboggen He might have been thinking of that.... But the way he was acting... wasn't directly related to his knees. TME was talking about symptoms like altitude sickness... and... I'm not sure that was the only reason. But that wouldn't be part of how he disappeared, it'd be just why he was in a hurry, despite being in bad health.
I did SAR some years back and many missing elderly cases. Old folks not fully in possession of their faculties can cover astounding distances is poor terrain. My own granny walked out of her house on a farm at 4 a.m. one winter night ... barefoot in her nighties. We lived nearby and were up early, saw her door open, went to see what was going on. Turned out she wandered behind the house, fell down a little hill and got covered in leaves, completely invisible. After a frantic search our dog found her -- cold, a little scratched, but okay. If I didn't have the dog, she might as well have been picked up by aliens -- by spring there would have been nothing left. She said she was going out for coffee but couldn't find the cafe!
Glad you found her
@reyo6353 Before my mother went into a nursing home she had Alzheimer's. My dad had to watch over her constantly to make sure she didn't wander off. One day, he got distracted and she wandered out of the house into the neighborhood. She wandered down the street and walked into a neighbor's house and sat on their couch. The neighbor, although not a friend of my father's, knew who my mother was and where she lived. He brought her back to the house and my dad was quite surprised to say the least. He was not aware that she had gone missing. After that he made sure that the doors were locked at all times.
With all due respect. For some reason this reminds me of as little kid hearing about old elephants walking off to the "elephant graveyard"😢
Maybe it's nature's way.
@@john-nx4xn 🤔🤔🤔
I thought that exactly, I guess it's very telling that the only two cases are from people that are elderly. Old people and kids can wonder off on a blink, also at that time, maybe Alzheirmer wasn't so much know, so he could be presenting the signs but unnaware., That could've led to poor decision making. I'm no doctor, but I would bet exhaustion could at it's peak, reach a state that the person just has a sudden spike of adrenalin, just like when someone is in very critical state gets better just to pass out shortlyafter, people feeling super hot and removing their clothes on hypothermia etc. He may have felt better for a moment, which was just enough for him to get out of sigth, wonder and then collapse.
Really well done, just baffling that Carl has never been found, not even one item of his.
The fact that you experienced the same symptoms and experienced the same “it would be such a pity to give up now” feeling that Carl probably felt is quite poignant. I could see myself in his shoes, hiking so far and pushing through discomfort just to see the hike through to the end. Nobody really thinks it could happen to them, it’s really easy to judge someone from behind a screen. That’s why I love this channel so much.
exaaaaactly. hit the nail on the head.
I'm the opposite - stomach upset? Get me off this mountain NOW. I wouldn't care how long I'd been planning the hike. I'd turn around in an instant.
Then again I would be that person who would not want to mess it up for anyone else and insist I go back down on my own and let the rest of my group go on.
So..... I'd probably end up dead anyway. 😆
Ngl Im about 13 minutes in and I'm thinking to myself "How is THIS going to turn out to be almost paranormal? Literally everything that could go wrong IS going wrong"
😂 totally. I guess one of the weirdest things is the small space he disappeared and how visible it was?
Yeah, me too. It seriously sounded like a disaster waiting to happen. Diarrhea a place like that would be awful. I'm not sure how seasoned hikers deal with it, but things like that can act up quick and urgently. I'd likely, hurriedly, go looking for some hard to find place if that happened.
Anything that can go wrong is subject to probability and with enough iterations Will Absolutely Go Wrong. It's a property of physical nature.
@@infasis He must have been very seriously dehydrated by the time he disappeared.
@@humanbeing2420 Yeah, choosing to continue to climb a mountain in that condition, when you could easily turn back is crazy...
It's not like a cozy bed and Pedialyte was waiting for him or something either. Just higher elevation, so probably just worse symptoms.
First of all, I give you SO much credit for doing that hike. It really does help to see the place. The trail looks less & less visible the higher you go - you even said it's easy to veer off of it. He must've been the guy going up the harder trail alone, & maybe got off track, slipped & fell, causing other rocks to fall too & bury him. No one around to see or hear. That seems the most logical explanation. Amazing, after hearing terrible stories, people still insist on doing things alone. Even YOU shouldn't have been up there alone!! Tsk, tsk, I'm glad you came to your senses & turned around!! I hope Carl is found someday. Has anyone thought of sending drones up w cameras?
I thought drones would be a good idea too, it would be interesting to see the whole area via drone. Suspect rock fall covering him may still limit their findings though.
We recently moved to Mt Shasta. There is something a little eerie about the woods here, and that’s coming from someone who moved from the PNW. I can see why the mountain and surrounding woods give life to strange legends! The sky can be so blue, the mountain so white, the trees so green. It’s like living in a painting on a sunny day.
Also… was anyone else nervous seeing this guy being sick-ish and alone in the exact spot someone went missing forever 😬
I'm from Red Bluff.
Mt. Shasta has been on my bucket list of interesting places to one day hopefully visit.

@@nuckinfuts7610Yeah, that’s the way I see it. I’m 30. But, my younger cousins and stuff barely ever watch TV if EVER. It’s all streaming services or UA-cam and similar content. I understand why.

Same here and 10000000% AGREE. I can’t imagine going back to times when TV was the only thing you could watch and of course that meant you didn’t get to watch what you wanted, you just got to watch what was on, which usually sucked lol. What a great distance technology has advanced in such a short time!
Seeing footage from a hike like yours up Mount Shasta really shows what a naturally beautiful country the US is. Sending love from the UK.
my theory after seeing the landscape is that he went off trail to use the bathroom and triggered a rockslide that was small enough to not be noticed but large enough to where it buried him.
my theory too
Makes sense. It's certainly possible and it's hard to think of anything else that is (at least if we exclude supernatural explanations; like a UFO is maybe not impossible but rock slide seems rather more plausible).
But (I maybe missed whether he mentioned this or not) -have cadaver dogs never been there to search for him?
Was my thoughts exactly
Quite possible. Only recently a 40 year mystery got its closure. The remains of a caring husband and avid hunter were discovered beneath what could have been once a large rock or rocky offshoot that had fallen over him, crushing him instantaneously. After decades the rocks had split enough to expose the remains. The day he was found, his wife had a dream in which she recollected her husband telling her “he was coming home”. Nothing but a miracle.
In my humble opinion you deserve an award for your coverage of this story. No one has done it better!
Agreed. This gentleman has put a story together with rational thought research and presentation. Now... I'm sure I left my keys on the bench...please help...
Actually, Dave Paulides did better. He thoroughly covered this case on the History Chanel show Vanished. Climbed the mountain…interviewed his wife..etc
@@Wasteland88 I’d wager that this guy is also a joke. Takes cases that others have already covered(this one by Paulides) and tries to make them his own.
@@Wasteland88 it’s akin to a cover band. Someone else covers a story, then another jumps on it to add some additional context and make it look like they thought to research it on their own. Dave seems to have a lot more irons in the fire than this guy, which is why I’m guessing he didn’t spend as much time uncovering the additional details. Is he purposely leaving stuff out? That’s subjective. But I’m not fooled by the many who take cases he’s covered and try to regurgitate them with their own spin. That’s lazy. The additional details added in this version don’t get anyone any closer to figuring out what happened to the guy, and therefore are just fluff. But to each their own.
@@ADseesU Right!? So many have copied Dave's work.But none have done it better.
We visited Mount Shasta. Didn't get much farther than the parking lot and just walking around in a localized Trail area. But what a magical place. There's no question that mountain is special.
Last week I was walking in the woods putting flags on a property line. I fell into a hole up to my waist. Straight through the heavy buildup of decomposing leaves into a hole that seemed to be the rotted repains of a tree root structure. When it happened i was easily able to get out, but I remembered the video you did about out of the box reasons people almost disappeared before being found in a hwell/crevasse/under a boulder.
And lava tubes. A fall that injures and/or results in death doesn't mean a body will be ound. Animals, insects and the elements wil decompose and scatter bones except MAYBE traces.
Also inumerable mine shafts all over the west.
Glad you are okay!
Wow that’s scary. Glad you were able to get yourself out!
My family & I were fishing in Alaska & we needed to walk around a small lake w/peat moss..Weighing 110lbs I sunk an inch or two. The others weighed 145lb + & sunk 4"+. With some peat you can sink up to your knee or hip..
As an elderly person, for the life of me I can't understand why anyone pushes themselves beyond their obvious limits. Such a sad story. I can't even imagine how miserable he must have been, and that's before his disappearance! Tragic for all concerned.
Yes, better to sit on your axx when you’re old and yell at people to get off your lawn. He pushed himself all his life, why stop because you get old.
My thoughts exactly. Why on earth did they send their friend up the mountain alone when he was clearly struggling with sickness the day before and was likely severely dehydrated due to sickness, diarrhea and not taking on enough fluids. Crazy.

When I was 14 or so I was camping with my family in the Rio Grande Forest. We set up tent maaaybe 75 ft from the car. I went to the car to get something, stepped off the part on the way back to get a closer look at some animal bones-I immediately was lost. It was literally instantaneous, I don’t know how else to describe it. One or two steps off the way and all of a sudden I didn’t know where I was. I spent the next four or five hours wandering around the forest calling for help until I lucked onto another road. Nature can be incredibly disorienting for the uninitiated. I see why it’s so easy for people to go missing and why there are so many myths about fairies confusing people in the woods.
Wow.. I love these personal real life experiences. Thanks.. it makes it seem more understandable when someone tells if first hand
so true ! even for people that a good internal compass when visual clues fail you
only memory is your aid....that is why when you realise you are lost don't panic and think what direction did you come from ! follow your tracks if you can... if you have no clue at all stand still.....do not start walking....that will get you hopelessly lost....know how to locate the north star know that the sun rises in the east and sets in the west.... think first before you start wandering off it can save your life.... i'm here to tell you it is EASY to get lost alot easier than most think!
You should probably stay home.
Wow, I'm so glad you made your way back! Thanks for sharing your story with us!
@mp-og7ly
Your story doesn't make sense.
Even if you walked 30 feet off of a trail you would still be able to see where the trail is and find your way back.
Nothing you wrote adds up.
Your skepticism and thorough investigation is why I've followed your channel for so long.
Half a lifetime ago, I moved from sea level to Vail, CO. It took me three months to get used to the altitude of 9,000 feet. Everyday felt like I was pulling a wagon full of lead. Then one day it was easy. I loved the mountains and managed to bag a few Fourteeners. Even though I lived at 9,000 feet and was in great shape, each climb was painful and exhausting for myself and my experienced companions. From experience, it's easy to see how one could become disoriented from dehydration and altitude. But to vanish in plain sight? Thanks for all the time and work you put into your presentations! ❤
"I Live At Sea Level". That sounds like a good title for a novel.
"How is it my fault that when you look at all the facts of a case, it doesn't look paranormal anymore?" just found your channel on my recommended and right off the bat you gained a new viewer haha
I've been subbed a few months, great channel
I completely agree!
The reason I love this channel is because of your skepticism and the fact that you often go to the location. That’s so helpful in imagining what really happened. Thanks for having high standards!
Dude, I love you because you deal in the realm of reality. The scientific method is in short supply all over the world, nowadays and I’m glad you still stick to it.
I say this on almost every video you post but thank you so much for your videos. In my opinion, your channel is the best, most accurate, most factual, and most informative of the period missing person shows out there on the Internet. Your research is stellar. Your conjectures are sound. Your reasoning is legit. 7:46
This channel and Lore Lodge are the absolute best at covering these types of cases!
And most classy!
@@human_no847 Classier than the other shows for sure!
This is the first time I've ever heard this case recounted where the fact he was having health issues is ever mentioned. Which I think is rather telling about some of the more general paranormal accounts.
Exactly
I guess it gets harder to slant it as a paranormal event if one includes TOO many relevant facts 😒
I like David Paulides likely always will he's done some good work absolutely, however and in large part thanks to channels such as this, there are 2 explanations for some of what he does regarding specific cases sometimes, #1 He is not as good a researcher as seems to be the case or as claimed, or #2 He has at times deliberately omitted certain details. Sadly and obviously I have to assume its the latter. And I admit this as someone whose far from some over skeptical type, I literally believe in God and paranormal/supernatural all of it 1000 percent, Never the less i have to assume this about Mr Paulides at least when it comes to certain specific cases he has covered in his books like this one, or the Arron Hedges case I believe it was, it simply has to be him deliberately omitting certain details to imply a more unexplainable outcome as the culprit, which really is a shame cause its like a person hoaxing a ufo sighting, all it does is muddy the waters, and its even more lame because there are indeed genuinely pics/videos and sightings, so I really hate hoaxes most of all and leaving out certain details is also a darn shame.
He's 79. He's having a bad reaction to his meds. He most likely has low blood pressure due to the meds. After camping he moves ahead alone. I've seen others say he went off the trail to answer the call of nature fell and died. Covered by rocks or whatever.
Well, maybe not. That area is known to be covered with undiscovered ancient lava tubes. Imagine going off the trail, lowering your pants and during the event of diarrhea your heart gives out from dehydration and low blood pressure of his altitude meds. You try to catch yourself but your pants prevent you from taking a step. You tumble forward and fall headfirst down the steep slope. You expect to smash your brains out as you fall and you do hit a few times, but quite unexpectedly as you would eventually fall and come to a rest you break through a thin layer of snow and slide down and ice covered lava tube toward wherever it terminates. No body. No smell. Maybe just down one of those slopes in a deep hole that appears to be a space in between some big rocks.
Theres another missing411 with three guys. One left to hunt on his own, never came back, body in a weird place
Paulides failed to mention
1- he was an alcoholic
2- he was drunk
3- he decided he'd detox that weekend
4- he had meds with him to help with the withdrawal. And what they give you for that is benzos
He was drunk, about to go through withdrawals, _probably_ took one in his drunken state, because he wanted it in his system before sobriety hit. Now hes mixed booze and benzos, and hes alone in the middle of the woods.
Funnily enough, Paulides says he rules out cases involving drugs and/or alcohol. (I dunno if thats how you spell his name, im tired)
@@bloodyneptune he recently did an episode of Coast to Coast and finally includes these details. I can only assume he started getting so much heat for intentionally leaving out facts that might rule out the paranormal element that got so many hooked
Your intro deserves a like on it's own! Excellent work fella.
Nick you are polar opposite of D.P. and thats why this channel is #1 in my book.
No drama, clickbait etc etc
And you dont convieniently leave out facts to make the story artificially sensational.
We LOVE missing enigma! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
You are very smart. Well expressed. I agree.😊
He is the 411's kryptonite!
I follow D.P for a bit until things he talked about went from possible to wack and then it got too political..Then I found this channel and the real research and non drama chased the D.P away for good..Missing 411 was really missing reality..Thank you and All the best🇬🇧🇺🇸👍
@@deerichardz I love it.
@@themajesticmagnificent386 you are very wise. DP caters to gullible
The live footage really put things in perspective. Thanks for the amazing video
Hey, I adore this channel! Great stuff!I used to not believe in the paranotmal until I lived through a year of paranormal hell. Opened my eyes and I don't see the world the same way anymore. I never go to sleep or wake up without praying and I never will..."the spiritual realm is as varied as the animal kingdom"
The level of objectivity and healthy skepticism is why I enjoy your reports so much. While I have a high interest in things that *are* paranormal, I appreciate that you do the extra work before simply jumping to that kind of conclusion. With that said, this is indeed one strange case. Love your channel!
Hi again. I left a long, rambling comment earlier airing my views on what people like to call "the paranormal", and I completely neglected to tell you what a great job you did creating this video! I'm really impressed that you went all the way up the mountain to the place where Mr. Landers disappeared. It was a brave and obviously difficult thing to do, and I think that it was impressive. Thank you for showing us all the view from the ground level. It was wonderful to have a chance to see Mount Shasta up close.
All the best to you, and thanks again! --N
Just saw your channel for the first time. I saw another channel’s report on Carl Landers. You are above and beyond and I just subscribed. Thank you.
There's so many excellent things about this channel but I think my favorite is the perfect balance that Nick manages to strike between being entirely open minded to any and all possibilities to explain mysterious happenings, yet at the same time remains very grounded in reality at every beat along the way. He never outright dismisses the more fantastical explanations like extraterrestrials or supernatural occurrences, but always explores every logical route in depth, and manages to construct very rational hypotheses without invoking stuff like alien abduction or alternate dimensions. It's just enough to inflame the imagination without flying off into crazy land.
Stunning footage. Thank you for another fantastic episode. Your hard work is much appreciated.
Thanks for taking us along for this dangerous and exhausting hike. You have an excellent channel.
I've probably said this before but I really admire your dedication and integrity. And I hope you don't listen to naysayers who dislike your drawings (I remember you saying on Lore Lodge that was a thing people were saying in your comments), they're great and give your videos such a unique look. Honestly your work is outstanding in every possible way!
The idea of people disliking his art is wild. It’s so good!
The art is what initially hooked me! The hand-drawn pieces used for the thumbnails are really eyecatching, and the artwork throughout the videos, I feel, really add to the storytelling. I know they're a lot of work to do, but I love them a lot.
@@raeoverhere923 The art is excellent
People will complain about anything lol how silly to complain about drawings. Some people just can’t be happy!!
Right? Among people doing slideshows and just recording themselves talk, the drawings are such a cool addition. I think it really gets your imagination going too
It baffles me why people continue on when any one of them is in physical distress. And not continuously being physically together as a team makes no sense to me either. I've never been with any group where we didn't pace our excursion for the slowest or least experienced of us, turning back as a team on 2 occassions that I recall. It was never even spoken of... just a natural understanding. This story is sad and tragic for everyone involved. RIP Carl, and prayers that his companions were able to forgive themselves and find peace with what happened. We all make iffy judgement calls throughout life's journey. We do the best we can
I absolutely love you channel and your voice is so soothing and the stories you tell are well researched and thought out. Great job my friend
One of my biggest problems with the paranormal community is the attitude you cover at the beginning. Instead of acknowledging that you are covering things that the "missing 411" believers claim are supernatural, they ask why you don't cover supernatural cases. I love bigfoot and cryptid stuff, but the people who want so badly for it to be real that they will dismiss any evidence that contradicts their beliefs. You see this a lot in flat earthers. Thank you for meticulously breaking down these cases without being condescending or rude to people who think it is supernatural.
absolutely on point. I also noticed that.
Both sides do it and it's definitely a pain. 😅
@cboyles84 I don't disagree. When skeptics call everything an owl, it gets a little ridiculous. However, when a certain cryptid channel that I don't really want to put on blast apparently believes literally, every cryptid ever exists, or David Paulides intentionally leaving out evidence so people don't realize just how mundane some of those cases are. That shit annoys me, I want paranormal investigation to be taken seriously, and when people do and say stupid things, it destroys the reputation of the entire community.
I'd like to know what these flat earthers are think of when they hear people fell down a Mountain?
Because they think the Earth is flat and there's no mountains!
Yes this 1000%. It’s the same in cases that have no logical explanation and the extreme skeptics refuse to look into supernatural possibilities (this is a lot more rare however, like a lot). It’s like, let’s look at all the facts first, delve into them and see how we feel on the other side before going to supernatural stuff, and if we get to that side and can’t find anything don’t stop there.
Your channel should be so much bigger. Your calm, rationale, take on these cases are not only rare, but a relief to hear on UA-cam these days. On top of that, your investigative prowess, along with your ability to look at the evidence with an unbiased point of view, is a respectable quality. Good work, sir. I look forward to listening to your work for years to come. And will push out this channel to anyone that will listen.
This is such a beautiful film of the area and following Carl's footsteps. Thanks for sharing
I think you effectively modelled what happened to him here, altitude, sickness and a need to achieve. I'm glad you came back. RIP, Carl.
While there are a TON of channels of this genre out there, you are by FAR head-and-shoulders above all the others, and in all honesty, the standard others should look to achieve some day. The research and investigating methods you put forth in each of your videos are second to none, and it is truly appreciated that you simply look at the known facts, and most realistic theories, as opposed to going to the sensationalism route. Please, keep doing what you're doing!!!
beautiful scenery and a great but sad story to go with. Thank you, TME
The music on your hike matched the scenery so well: beautiful, with a slightly eerie undertone. The only thing I can think is that he perhaps fell and tumbled down and creating a rock slide as he fell, perhaps got wedged under a large boulder and the tumbling rocks and blowing snow covered him? I dunno, this one stumps me too.
I'm with you brother. facts are important. I like your analytical thinking.
My favorite investigative journalist
He is certainly thorough and looks at the evidence from a logical stance.
And a physical sense
I really love this channel! I found myself saying "Oooooooo!! Yay! A video from Missing Enigma!!"
I realized then I only do that for two channels: "Missing Enigma" and "Moonlight Cottage" an asmr channell.
Thank you for all you do! I'm on a very small budget on SS but if I come into any extra money, I'll be sure to support you in Patreon!
Great work!
This is am Amazon video. The footage is beautifully filmed. TY so much! You've gone above & beyond for us on your journey & incorporating a missing person case makes it even more interesting. You brought a tear to my eye with your passion, determination & motivation. TY from the UK ❤
It's refreshing to hear a video of this kind with an honest and frank introduction such as this. I've seen countless videos that start with the narrator telling us how a disappearance happened in a remote, desolate and unpopulated wilderness, and then ignoring everything they've just described as a factor and ascribing it to something 'paranormal' or 'mysterious'.
All I can say is I hope you never stop making these videos. I love the music, and being able to walk in the footsteps of the people who disappeared.
With all the channels that play up the "paranormal" angle for views your careful investigation, concise presentation of the case, carefulness in differentiating between known facts and conjecture is refreshing. Especially your compassion for the missing and their loved ones. I feel you do an excellent job presenting these cases with an eye towards compassion, understanding, and making sure the facts are known.
Thank you for this incredible episode and for hiking up there even while you were unwell. I'm glad you turned around.
Your 'expedition' really brought this story to life for me. Thanks for a great vid!
I completely understand how miserable and debilitating altitude sickness is. It genuinely hurts. You can be desperate to eat and it just comes up. I could get water down but still had a horrible time breathing and walking was insanely exhausting. Sleep was bad and with little to no food it was hard to feel warm.
Visiting the settings for many of your investigations brings so much more understanding and detail to already fantastic stories.
Mega respect.
Yes, we want more.
Just, fabulous.
The Carl Landers disappearance is really up there with the most baffling disappearances. Wonderful video TME
I truly appreciate that you don’t easily jump to “paranormal” theories. The whole Missing 411 concept and its proponents are so invested in implicating paranormal explanations that cases are presented with lies, half-truths, or omissions.
Thanks for taking the time to share your hike with us and glad you stayed safe. Summers in that area can get brutal despite the snow and cold mornings.
Thank you for not going down the paranormal nonsense rabbit hole. I appreciate your dedication to facts, clues, evidence, empirical data, logic, and reason. You’re everything the others are not when it comes to missing persons.
Well-said and very true!
_The Missing Enigma_ and _Lore Lodge_ are the only ones I can watch anymore. They both do their own independent research on a case instead of simply regurgitating the same idiotic, misinformed, sensationalized David Paulides' BS, that omits key information, facts and rational thought like Mr Ballsack and the rest do.
He doesn't have an agenda like others examining these cases do.
@@TheUncleRuckus Yes, they are both great channels!
@@TheUncleRuckusThe sad irony is that channels hopping on the unexplained train for views really ruin any serious speculation or deep dive into genuinely unexplained/unnerving deaths in the wilderness. My mind jumps to the guy who ended up halfway up a tree with the branches above him broken or the photographer who had apparently semi melted in place
Love your delivery. A cross between Rod Serling and Norm Macdonald! And so thorough and respectful of the Missing. Brand new subscriber.
Truly appreciate how you analyze these missing persons cases through a skeptical / investigative lens while also keeping an open mind.
Your footage of the hike and mountain for this case is fantastic. I really love how you do everything possible to give us the most realistic and true to the location information as possible
Given the frequency of his diarrhea I could see a sudden bathroom emergency as a motivating factor for him to venture in an illogical direction in search of some privacy. Still doesn't explain why he was never been found though. Next level commitment as always man
Most channels who cover this material don’t do the research you do, or done with the skepticism you have. You’ve shined the light on so many cases that everyone else on the internet labels as unexplained.
How much I love this channel, I really appreciate all your efforts to bring the perspective of the terrain and the people that disappear.
This is a tragic puzzle. How could this have happened, with all of the trails that were so visible? No idea. But I have nothing but respect for the coverage and for re-tracing all of the steps, here--kudos! This is one of the finest episodes, ever, covering this case.
I can't tell you how much I appreciate you going to some of these places! I have aphantasia, which means I don't have a "mind's eye" - I can't picture things "in my head." So that makes it difficult to get an idea of what a place actually looks like.
How fascinating. I've heard of someone not having an inner monologue but never this. I've spent so long trying to learn to ignore my inner monologue or my daydreaming and be present in the moment.
@@buddhamack1491 Yeah, I didn't realize aphantasia was a thing either until last year. I always thought that when someone says "picture this in your mind," they were speaking metaphorically. I didn't realize most people can actually SEE things in their MIND!!! The phrase "counting sheep" suddenly made much more sense! I feel like it's a superpower that I'm missing out on 🥺
Thanks for the comment, I didn't know this even existed. I live "in my head" and can visualize almost anything.
In saying that, you're not missing out on any superpower. Most of us myself included, wish we could get rid of our daydreaming.
Best of luck and thanks again.
Very strange! Never heard of that before! Sounds like it can be a bummer!
@@EphemeralProductions I never even considered it until I realized most other people aren't like me. Apparently only about 2 to 4 percent of the population have aphantasia. When I was told that people do actually "see" things in their mind, it's not just metaphorical, it really did blow my mind!
There is ALWAYS a way to disappear in a wilderness without the “need” for paranormal. I like your channel because you DONT automatically go there, your research and work always satisfies me enough with natural explanations. Also, just because we may not have a complete understanding of what happens doesn’t mean it’s paranormal, we simply don’t know what happened.
I live in a mountainous little town and after being here for 20 years and exploring on and off trail, I have discovered quite a few good spots that would make a person disappear very easily even with a very thorough search. A fall, animal encounter, injury, snow, weather etc and boom you are gone unless you can call for help.
Also live in a mountain Town and we don't have Internet or phone service in almost every area
@@autumnsierra2401 yes! We have coverage for the small town, but the further you get away from it nope in your own.
I have a hunch those spots are perfect for disappearing for one reason that this mystery makes me stand by a paranormal explanation: a lack of foot traffic. Shasta isn't a hole in the wall and Carl clearly had limited mobility, someone would've found his body or his personal effects, namely his coat and especially after a search. I can't grasp how even an avalanche could kill him and not be found given the terrain and again, foot traffic alone. The camera has never really done how steep or big the mountain is for me. But I seriously doubt a place like Shasta being as dangerous for massive avalanches being open would be well allowed just on a legal level alone if it would cover a body as perfectly to disappear just naturally with the amount of again, foot traffic.
@@BoondockBrony you apparently have no idea how destructive an avalanche is….
Your intro is why I like your channel. You go through as many reasonable possibilities as you can based on the evidence available. Too many channels just double down on whatever ridiculous legend sounds like it’ll generate views. It’s nice to see somebody using logic when examining these cases.
Good decision on turning back because you were sick. Well done. You're a good example for people. If they listen then maybe there will be less of these missing person cases.
I've been waiting impatiently for you to put out a video... I'm so glad I found your site. I've always been fascinated with missing people and I appreciate you not editing the story to fit Your narrative, so to speak. Not everything is supernatural and certain places will swallow you up. Volcanic tubes, caves, pits crevasses... cliffs, predators.. snow, heat, etc. Love your work.🇺🇲
I really enjoyed every moment of this! Thank you so much for your thorough and real life research
Nothing can make you more humble on the trail than a trail runner or a 6 year old in crocs 😂
Lol😂
had a similar experience on Mount Baldy over near LA. It was the first time I ever tried ascending a 10000' peak and I really felt the altitude at around 9000' and ended up turning back at 9200' when, like Carl, I found myself going five steps and pausing. I didn't want to put myself at risk given the trail had steep dropoffs on every side. Meanwhile locals were just casually jogging it in shorts and t-shirts. Oh well.
When I walked up Lassen Peak in August of 2022 since you dont really "climb"it, there were people with flip flops and track shorts with no water or anything just hauling the mail up the mountain LoL. Its nothing like Shasta although it is still tough enough even with a luxurious trail all the way to the top and there is just the most EPIC view of Lassen 60 miles away.
There's a short video going around of some hikers struggling up a steep mountain, and this monk in robes and sandals just casually walks right past them like he's having a leisurely stroll in the park. 😆 I guess if you live in mountainous areas, you get used to the altitude.
@@ElveeKaye ya seemed insane to me when locals at the GC were zooming down switchbacks in crocs not breaking a sweat and carrying a single bottle of water nothing else like wtf. ive never seen them turn back which means they went to complete the full trail which took me 10 hours...
Thank you for all the topography!!! Really helps to understand the situation! 😊
Your content has evolved so much. I loved your old vids with the black and white drawings, but every video gets better and better. Fantastic work fren!
Bro I absolutely love your channel ,,but more importantly your honesty and logic!!! Keep up the Superb work my man!!!
So great to find a channel looking into these kinds of cases and where the host is eloquent and intelligent.
Im a local here in Mount Shasta.... This is a weird one for sure.
You live in a gorgeous part of California.
Well done for taking us up Mt. Shanta as far as you did. It was good to see the landscape and get an idea of the terrain when hiking.
I always try and apply Ockham’s Razor principal, but this case even has me baffled. There’s just nowhere to hide.
Truly bizarre. It's so open but still treacherous and clearly people HAVE disappeared here... but how on earth does it happen.
Thank you. Enjoyed the music on this episode as well.
I find myself literally waiting for you to release another video. Your research and journalism are beyond: you really cover all bases and stay professional. I appreciate your content. Stay safe on your future treks and investigations into missing persons cases. Thank you for being one of the better UA-cam channels out there!
I don't understand how you get so many high quality videos out so quickly
as amazing as this channel is, the upload frequency is quite slow. he averages 1 upload every other week but if were talking about the upload average of new cases & subract his interviews & remakes from past cases were lucky to get one new upload case a month. Granted, id rather have a high quality piece than get a watered down once a week pace like mr ballen has severely struggled from. There simply isnt a way to make missing enigma quality uploads once a week. but if you factor in the research needed to make a video like this man makes including the art work, your 100% right.. Even at an upload every 2 weeks, videos like these at that pace is very very impressive.
It’s all good, glad you made it down in 1 piece, and lived to tell “US” another tale! Thanks for all your hard work, and awesome content! Top notch!
Noah Donohe deserves more attention! You are the right one to put his case in a decent spotlight!
Very entertaining video as always. Thank you and God bless.
I think what I like about this channel the most is you keep an open mind & respect others views who may differ from your own. Its easy to view missing person cases with unexplained issues & form one theory or another. I thought this is what the comment sections are for.
Ive grown tired of other channels who can not stop to consider other's opinions or theories believing they are the expert and they're not to be challenged on anything connected to a missing case. Having an opinion or theory that differs from someone elses ( no matter who they are) does not have to be a negative or combative experience. It can be done respectfully & can provide an opportunity to learn on either side. I believe when these argumentive situations arrive from this it becomes less about the case at hand & more about who is right with the only evidence to support their case is a decades long, past history on the subject in general. While that may give you the upper hand in credibility & experience, it doesnt make you ALWAYS right.
I apologize for the novel, but I wanted you to know its refreshing to see these cases being reviewed in such detail with such a high level of investigation done on your part. And you get it done without your ego getting in the way or having to put others down to do it. Awesome job as always!!❤
I’m SO GLAD you turned back! I live here! It’s nothing worth risking to push yourself too far.
Great content as always!
Same here. He says "we" during the video, but I think we was by himself which could be risky under the circumstances.
By far the best channel on UA-cam. I hope you can find a way to do this full time and produce more content. Solid all the way around brother 🎉
