A type of place from which Missing 411 people tend to vanish and at which they tend to appear. This case was made famous by David Paulides in his documentary "Missing 411: The Hunted." In this film, Paulides applies his "checkpoints" to Tom Messick. The ability of any perpetrator to remotely confuse, lure, or in some sense mind control targeted people would also be consistent with the victims leaving essential items behind it would just be an induced brain fart. The most low-tech version that I can think of, some combination of taser and GHB, would clearly be inadvisable for use on children and should kill some people. Yosemite happens to have the highest total of Missing 411 cases of any National Park. Its quite possible that the population of people who visit national parks differs significantly from the whole population of the given states or countries under normal circumstances. But if theyre after exceptional (and therefore potentially valuable) targets, they cant hide that, or even necessarily be able to do without specific targets, however unlikely those target people are to get lost or succumb to the elements. I await suggestions. Obviously, bad weather happening while a person is lost should also mean higher chance of them dying of exposure, but also limit the distance that the lost person can travel. This means that nothing should be taken at face value and that it may be necessary to keep our cards close to the chest not advertising our best leads or next moves, while trying to set up traps for the adversary. Cases with positive evidence of the impossible (facts gleaned from autopsies, missing being found in unlikely places, etc.) The reason why to wait for that could be that it is much less suspicious for a person to disappear while out drinking at night in the city than if they just left their house for no reason in the middle of the night. However, they may not follow that perfectly. So, I would expect more people to get lost while wearing colorful clothing rather than natural shades or camo. Oh and sorry about all this, if youve ever intended to go into a forest again. This implies that the way in which these people disappear involves their rapid incapacitation, or at least severe confusion. Given that some cases indicate third-party involvement (like the inside-out clothing, children unable to undress themselves, or clean socks while traveling miles), the latter option, however unlikely and disconcerting, must be considered. At least not in any of the cases where the person was found. Of course, proving that the times and dates at which people get lost mysteriously are normal times at which theres an opportunity to get lost doesnt prove that the disappearances are entirely mundane. Like the case of Zigmund Adamski criminal activity was not ruled out, which rules it out as a Missing 411 case, but it was not ruled out precisely because there was evidence of foul play. Even if the name was selected purely on the basis of bad feelings, it may indicate that dangerous terrain, gases, radiation, or infrasound can be found in the area. The fact that phones today double as GPS locators and that they can record both audio and video and be connected to the internet at all times makes urban disappearances of people with phones suspicious. Think of it as a cosmic-level tool to bring attention of specific types of people or individuals to specific things, while hiding the act itself. The cases of inside-out clothing in particular remind me of one potential UFO abduction case of Zigmund Adamski, which happened on the 6th of June 1980 in the U.K. I certainly wouldnt be surprised if these were more common for Missing 411 cases than in the general population or among normal park visitors, though it would be interesting to see exactly how much more or less common they are for normal disappearances in the same areas. The question is not so much whether someone can have or be using such technology, since the recent sonic attacks at U.S. embassies across the world prove that the capability exists. These are mainly the German connection, the religion connection, and the military connection, or a combination of two or all three. Or to put it another way, a pattern of correlations is when the same things keep happening more frequently than they should by chance, while a pattern of coincidences is when unique, extremely unlikely events keep happening in connection to a person, event, phenomenon, etc. If these coincidences seem pedestrian or contrived to you, brace yourself. Sometimes to children too young to be able to dress or undress themselves. The latter possibility would imply that even if there werent significantly many of them within the sample in comparison to all people or all park visitors, there may be a specific, several centuries-old genetic reason or personal grudge involved. Missing 411: The Hunted is based on the book by Paulides, which documents 185 cases of missing peoples from four different countries. There is at least one case in which the dog was proven to have been almost certainly fed (venison), which might indicate some perpetrator may have been more respectful of the life of the dog than that of the human target, as well as there are cases of dogs likely not having spent time in the area where they got lost, like the one dehydrated dog found in a swampland, or a number of cases of dogs being found in a surprisingly good condition. And maybe nothing is. Maybe names are not random, but to an extent generated with an audience to appreciate them in mind. Hes not putting forward his theories in the books, only data. Anything that makes you more visible from a longer distance by default makes you an easier target for any kind of predator, animal, human, or otherwise. Usually, the tragic stories are about mushroom poisoning. This is why it seems very suspicious to me that in Missing 411 cases, the majority of people who are found alive have amnesia and only a minority reports something strange happening. Exceptionally odd circumstances surround the disappearance. These could have involved a more invasive examination or procedure focused on the brain, and while they fortunately seem rare, especially to the extreme of cow mutilations, there are such cases. However, the understanding that there is such a connection between naming conventions and occurrence of a particular type of disappearance could be used as a lead to determine which places to investigate, either with priority, more thoroughly, or further back into the past. Hunters have disappeared from wildlands without a trace for hundreds of years. Neurology-based research and technology would also help explain why the causes of death are so difficult to identify in many of these cases. Which brings me to some practical reasons why you would undress a person that you have kidnapped. PG-13. Missing 411- David Paulides Presents Cases from Minnesota (Stateley), Yosemite and Alaska (Perkowski) Canam Missing Project. Specifically, either cryptids known as dogmen, or some version of skinwalkers who can shapeshift into canine forms. If there is evidence that something weird was going on with the dog, thats the part that should be focused on, in my opinion presence of inexplicable evidence is always more interesting than a correlation alone. Theres bound to be some sort of infrastructure for this, especially since it is a global phenomenon and since having the staff of the establishment where you want to disappear someone on your side or having infiltrated the school which your potential targets attend would make everything much easier. Similarly, some traits like high intelligence, excellent physical condition, or relevant expertise and preparation are inherently suspicious, even if they happen in statistically insignificant numbers. The further questions are those of exact methodology. These people should not be considered reliable witnesses, but they should have some witness testimonies to offer. I have never heard of a single case in the history of my country of anyone going missing mysteriously while picking mushrooms. If a criminal group with the same unusual means and methods of abducting people in a forest setting is taking advantage of bad weather to kidnap and do god knows what with people in the same unusual ways, then the bad weather compromising searches should correlate more often with cases that contain other unusual elements to them than with normal cases of people going missing in a forest. Like his idea of a probability-based engine many macroscopic physical laws are only aggregates of chaotic movements and interactions going on at the subatomic level. This video contains the following Missing Person Cases: Maria Hendrika, 38 Years, Missing July 1, 1959, Yosemite National Park. Yes, under these specific circumstances, things like temporal displacement start sounding more likely than dozens of searchers missing an obvious corpse dozens of times. Maybe a comparison of natural features of these places can yield interesting correlations. Dave also mentions legends from Hawaii and Indonesia which explain that you should not wear bright clothing if you dont want to offend some kind of spirits, or that some spirits demand that you lie naked face down in their presence, which is how Missing 411 people often are found. There are multiple instances of Starfleet observing pre-warp civilizations (which it is not allowed to interfere with due to the Prime Directive) from a secret base cloaked as part of a mountain. Meanwhile, after Dennis went missing, the Key family, looking for bears some distance away, saw a dark man-type figure carrying something on its shoulder, a key piece of the puzzle. How do you keep getting bodies into water without it being seen, ever? Watchlist. While phenomena of this type are not strictly speaking ruled out by theoretical physicists, they would at the very least expect them to be substantially more rare, if they were to occur strictly naturally. B) it only takes a few seconds for a well minded SAR volunteer to miss a clue. Or it could be a sign of a design artifact, like when many bad guys in our fictional worlds contain Mal in their name, or how many hero names can be abbreviated as JC. Moreover, again ironically, there are many other both genetically and culturally much older groups. Some have their remains found miles away from where they disappeared from, others are gone without a trace. While static city cameras could be known about and avoided, there dont seem to be any related deaths of potential witnesses, who statistically speaking must keep bumping randomly into these people entering the water. The exotic options would all be variations on the person entering some sort of portal or spacetime warp or legitimately teleporting. Worldbuilder, magister, change catalyst. If we can already think of that, and undoubtedly would do it ourselves given the opportunity, its not crazy. The religion and military connection may also be connected to a specific cultural grudge, but what they imply to me is that maybe any targeting would be more of an issue of neurology rather than genetics. Overall, the whole dog connection is interesting, but not useful without other evidence. Im really only qualified to speculate on the first question. The available data that connects the water-related cases together (mainly the ones of students being found dead in water in some college cities) makes them somehow more inexplicable than the cases of people who got lost in a forest and were never found (cases in which all data is missing).
