Let's talk about this, my friends.

Who or what is taking these people?

A nice summary on this issue from a recent series of books:

>Missing-411 is the first comprehensive research about people who have disappeared in the wilds of North America (this is also a worldwide issue with cases in Australia, Europe and elsewhere). It’s understood that people routinely get lost and some want to disappear, but this story is about the unusual. Nobody has ever studied the archives for similarities, traits and geographical clusters of missing people, until now.

>A tip from a national park ranger led to this 4+ years and a 9000 hour investigative effort into understanding the stories behind people who have vanished. The book chronicles children, adults and the elderly who disappeared, sometimes in the presence of friends and relatives. As Search and Rescue personnel exhaust leads and places to search, relatives start to believe kidnappings and abductions have occurred. The belief by the relatives is not an isolated occurrence; it replicates itself time after time, case after case across North America.

>The research depicts 28 clusters of missing people across the continent, something that has never been exposed and was a shocking find to researchers. Topography does play a part into the age of the victims and certain clusters have specific age and sex consistency that is baffling. This is not a phenomenon that has been occurring in just the last few decades, clusters of missing people have been identified as far back as the 1800’s.

>Some of the issues that are discussed in each edition:

• The National Park Service attitude toward missing people

• How specific factors in certain cases replicate themselves in different clusters

• Exposing cases involving missing children that aren’t on any national database

• Unusual behavior by bloodhounds/canines involved in the search process

• How storms, berries, swamps, briar patches, boulder fields and victim disabilities play a role in the disappearance

• The strategies of Search and Rescue personnel need to change under specific circumstances

>After reading this book, you will forever walk in the woods with a different awareness.

Can’t watch the documentary at the moment, but does it mention Vermont as a hotspot for disappearances? In my limited travels through VT, I’ve heard of a lot of paranormal spots. The “Bennington Triangle”, for one, has swallowed a lot of people, only one of which was found.

I was swimming in a lake called Lake Eligo when I learned from a local farmer that the lake is supposedly “bottomless”. Like all glacial lakes in VT, Eligo is deep (over 100 feet in some spots). But the story goes that someone drowned in the lake, and when a boat was dredging for the body with a 300 foot dredge line, they came to a point where point in the middle of the lake where the dredger was hanging freely. The body was never found, and neither was the “bottomless” hole. Later, I met a diver who had heard the same story and explored the place where the hole was supposed to be, but found nothing.

It’s weird. Driving through it, Vermont doesn’t seem that wild. There are still big patches of woods, but it’s thoroughly mapped, and people have been living there for centuries. It’s just not a place you’d expect to have these kinds of mysteries.

>The “Bennington Triangle”

Interesting, checking it out now.

David Paulides does cover cases from that area in his second book, but I don't think it's a region that he particularly focuses on.

Yosemite (granted, it's the most visited national park in the US) is probably hands down the scene of the most bizarre missing persons cases.

The whole state of Pennsylvania also has enough odd cases to fill its own book.

Seems to me that people who go missing in the wilderness could have just fallen over a cliff or something common like that, and have their remains eaten by animals… It's also pretty hard to find things in thick brush. Maybe the scent of animals like bears throw dogs off too.

Reads like some kind of SCP stuff.


 No.4505

I'm sure that's more common than what's on display here, which is finding the bodies/remains at a higher altitude.

>or something common like that

The cases that could be argued as being routine are not included in the research.

Some of these researchers are former detectives and such, so they know what they're doing.

I know a lot of people go tp National Parks to kill themselves. Apparently its a big problem in Yellowstone. Its what the rangers told me when I was there. Also a lot of parks are huge wilderness areas. If you hurt yourself and can't get out you'll probably die and be eaten by something or just never be found

How are sasquatches supposed to play into this? I remember hearing about this book years ago, but something about David Paulides just seemed off-putting to me.

I feel like the guy believes in Bigfoot, and if you asked him what he thought was going on, in at least some of these cases, he would explain in with something involving Bigfoot.

But in the Youtube videos he never mentions it. He never gives his own conclusion or theory; just the who, what, where, and when. And it's that really bare presentation of the facts that make these really creepy. They're so mundane, but still off-putting, if only slightly. There are no fairies in our garden, but people are still going missing.

Looks like they're working on a full movie, and, of course, have a Kickstarter to go along with it.

To my mind, there really is nothing better than taking five-hour walks in the woods whilst listening to tales of paranormal stuff.

>David Paulides on George Knapp Radio - August 30, 2015 Urban Disappearances

>George Knapp welcomed researcher and author David Paulides, who provided an update on his investigation into mysterious disappearances and detailed how his latest research now takes him to urban areas, where he is finding evidence that fits his criteria for this unsettling phenomenon. While he had previously been focused on disappearances in national parks, Paulides explained that he began looking into strange urban cases after reading about a cluster of extremely smart and athletic young men who disappeared and their bodies were later discovered under unusual circumstances. As he began looking deeper into such cases, Paulides was astonished to find that the minutiae of these events had a number of eerie similarities to the national park disappearances he had chronicled in his Missing 411 series of books.

I do get super spooked indoors when I'm reading alien stuff–specifically, I keep thinking when I put the book down I'll see an alien standing in front of me.

My area has lots of farms and cattle, but alas there are almost no cattle mutilations, ufo sightings, and bigfoot encounters.

Forest walks after horror stories is genuinely unnerving - and I've always loved it. The feeling of being watched or thinking something else is out there stalking you is one of the most primal varieties of human fear.

>>5090

If you live on farmland, you should snap some pictures on a foggy day. I've always thought rural areas have an ominous sort of charm to them during the evening/night and whenever the sky's grey.
