Maybe some of the people who died had an allergic reaction to whatever method of incapacitation or memory wipe was used. If its correct, I bet that benevolent gods would use coincidence to aid us and trickster gods to amuse themselves. At the same time, however, getting as many people to know and think about this is key, as it directly defeats the main objectives of the hypothetical adversary (remaining hidden and keeping potential targets unaware). Some of the cases that meet the profile criteria do hint at abduction by neither an animal, nor a human, but others do not. While the possibility of pure fear killing a person is medically speaking speculative at best, extreme fear can certainly cause a lethal heart attack in a person with a heart that is in a less than stellar condition. 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. After all, thats how a sudden health crisis or mental break would start. If you couple it with the fact that dogs fail (or refuse) to track the victims in most of these cases, theres some slight amusing possibility that I personally like to call dogspiracy. Here I have to give credit to Seriah Azkath and the Snake Brothers, who pointed out the likely direction of causality regarding this profile point on a recent Where Did the Road Go show. Perhaps the only type of thing that Dave tends to do thats somewhat less than ideal is that in his descriptions of the cases, he sometimes omits facts that point toward more mundane explanations. And even then, there often still should have been enough time to use the phone to report or record what happened. 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. All 185 cases fit a narrowly defined profile that was refined after researching thousands of missing person reports; these cases are the most difficult, defy common sense, challenge conventional wisdom and remain . 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. The person could have intentionally vanished. Missing 411- David Paulides Presents Cases from Minnesota (Stateley), Yosemite and Alaska (Perkowski) Canam Missing Project. Without that, we simply dont know if any of it is significant. If the person was seen, say, falling of a cliff, then that would be an explanation, just like it should be easier to find someone when youd seen where exactly they entered the forest, at what speed, and in what state of mind. Beyond a mere lack of explanation, Paulides has put together a profile which includes a specific list of factors, most of which tend to be present in all of these cases. Sometimes, high amounts of alcohol or GHB were found in the blood of the deceased, but without any clear idea how they were ingested. My critical point of view is that this is a nice sentiment, and youd want to have searchers with this attitude looking for you, but there is a number of conceivable conventional scenarios in which it would be very possible that the person would be exceedingly difficult to find or unlikely to be found. And even if the name is just related to the remoteness, more remote and hard-to-get areas would mean the most difficult search environments. Yes, you are supposed to be thinking of Dirk Gently. Similarly, as I have heard someone theorize, you may want to remove their shoes first so that they cant run away from you very easily, or maybe youd steal their clothing so that they more quickly succumb to the elements if they somehow ran away from wherever youre holding them thats presumably some kind of shelter, base, or vehicle. Getting lost in a forest certainly can be a traumatic event, but exhaustion, dehydration, or hypothermia could account for hallucinations, skewed perception, or irrational behavior, but again, not so much for amnesia. 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. Former police detective David Paulides was initially brought on to investigate the circumstances around the many mysterious disappearances - here he presents the haunting true stories of hunters experiencing . Im not a physicist, chemist, or an engineer, so I cant begin to speculate about any special properties of water or granite, though electrical ones certainly dont seem to be off the table. So, I would expect more people to get lost while wearing colorful clothing rather than natural shades or camo. However, this only calls for a more thorough screening process for the cases to control for these possibilities. This clearly points to an intelligent perpetrator, and one who, inexplicably, doesnt have a very good grasp of how human clothing works. 2019. On this note, I like Daves more recent approach of looking for almost-Missing 411 cases that are substantiated with hard evidence, like those included in the most recent documentary (featuring the Bigfoot audio recording and the predator photo). Pretty much the only non-exotic explanations are that the person was carried, or put into a vehicle and driven or flown away, and there were cases of people too heavy to be carried by anything normal, while there tend to be no tracks or noises indicating either of these options taking place. Open for submissions from anyone with something to say about where were headed or the nature of time or history. This one is of course extremely tragic, but that only gives you literally all of the reasons why everyone should study this. The proportion of the two should be inverse. Its not a reason to start hating a person and dismiss everything they have to say about everything else, its a reason to start talking to them. If I think about how likely it is that this profile point signifies something unusual, the inside-out clothing is very hard to explain away, but the brightly colored clothing may have a mundane explanation. A home for weird ideas, future visions, and mad ramblings. The exotic options would all be variations on the person entering some sort of portal or spacetime warp or legitimately teleporting. And yes, I also rewatched Dirk Gentlys Holistic Detective Agency, obviously. The forests that are not protected have much less regulated traffic, much lower biodiversity, are much more likely to be randomly cut down or otherwise messed with, and likely lack continuity to ancient times. On the cases I investigated some teams were 15-20 people strong with only one trained team leader. This is perhaps the main area in which I would like Dave to release tables with exact percentages of just how common various traits among the missing people are, as the first step that needs to be taken in any serious study is to compare the composition of Daves sample with the standard distributions of variables in the normal demographics of the involved states or countries. Thats inductive research, its good science. Assuming that Bigfoot doesnt exist, this is still a completely reasonable activity. Thats roughly a bit odd to the fourth power. Given that brain damage is almost never involved even in the cases where the Missing 411 subjects were found dead, theres no good explanation for high incidence of amnesia. Not many things need to be the same for all or most unexplained cases, and they will be objective facts. Maybe if in all of the cases, the phone lost charge too quickly, it would be less strange, but thats only the case sometimes. As for any data points or theories that may shed some light on why the clothing tends to be missing, the only explanations provided by the survivors of something like a Missing 411 incident are either that they removed it themselves (without understanding why and later regretting it), or the story of one little girl that a dog/wolf man ate some articles of her clothing. Dave may not be the best scientist or statistician, he may have lied or cheated in his life at least once or twice, and he was trying to find evidence for the existence of Bigfoot (plural) before he was approached to look into missing people in national parks. Worldbuilder, magister, change catalyst. The other type of accounts shared by children indicates the existence of facilities. When I say strange, what I mean is that, for starters, all of the usual suspects have been ruled out, like animal predation, human crime, voluntary disappearance, drowning, etc. How can we prove otherwise? Once you come across one, you know that following it will get you back to civilization within at most a day. It also makes sense that in such a scenario, the dog should be more able to find a way back eventually, as opposed to its owner. Thats what Dave was doing regarding Bigfoot. What should be done first is a comparison with the distribution of times at which people from a random non-Missing 411 sample disappear in the same areas. This one focuses a lot on hunters, people that typically know what they're doing in the woods / wouldn't do something stupid resulting in their disappearance. Granted, Elisa Lam is a rare name, so its a case of a rare name of a test that is the same as a human name, which was the same as a rare name of a person who died unusually, while the test was being used at the time and place where they died. Yosemite happens to have the highest total of Missing 411 cases of any National Park. If you enjoyed it, there are several Missing 411 Books too! 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. Or at least not any more mysteriously than provably falling off a cliff, and thats the only case I could find. In a normal sample of deaths, youd expect roughly 500 unexplained deaths in 500,000. Yeah, thats a weird one, which probably makes it a good profile point. Missing 411: The Hunters The Missing 411 series initially began as an exploration of strange disappearances in America's national parks. Who knows, maybe thats why the urban disappearances now tend to be targeted at young, physically and mentally fit people. These are all angles that can and should be investigated, since precise targeting, luring, and covert disappearing of people arent trivial tasks. A high-level analysis of patterns behind these strange disappearances. 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. Whats weird is that this is not happening in all of the parks equally, suggesting that a thorough comparison should be made. The only conventional explanation for reliable amnesia is when it is induced by some sort of chemical. An animal could have sneakily killed and buried the missing person. Maybe names are not random, but to an extent generated with an audience to appreciate them in mind. If an area has been searched dozens of times, chances are the search was sufficient. In the last act, a twist no one saw . At the very least, it would require a vast, perfect conspiracy, and thats never a good go-to explanation. This doc centers on hunters. The fact that they were never identified or caught is also the first indication of their organization. If you think that this whole scenario is crazy, then you havent watched enough Star Trek. If theres an intelligent perpetrator behind any Missing 411 disappearances, they are likely to know when to lie in wait for people at the times and dates when theres the most opportunity. The German language also isnt particularly unique, as it exists on a continuum with a number of other European languages that are all similar. For the first three-fourths or so of the documentary, we're under the impression that they seem to be easy targets for killers or maybe incredibly accident prone. The clearest one is the account of being taken into a cave with robots and then asked to poop on a foil, but a similar conclusion can be drawn from less obvious accounts, like the one about there being continuous sunlight for several days. From that point of view, this profile point should always be analyzed together with other variables. This is the 2nd doc in the missing 411 series surrounding people disappearing in the wilderness for no reason. Ignoring mind control for now (which is technically doable with advanced enough technology that we are already developing), someone who can remotely scan or edit brains can probably also stop someones heart with a more advanced version of taser. Finally, being associated with Bigfoot research also doesnt disqualify everything that you say about anything. When picking mushrooms or berries, a group of people typically stays within hearing range, which means that all you need to do to not get lost is being able to shout (or shoot, I guess). 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. Id wager that afternoon is the time during which forests see the highest levels of traffic. Overall, the cases that he selected seem to correctly rule out normal cases based on details like there not being low-enough temperatures at all, people getting undressed too quickly after disappearing (before the cold could have set in), or people traveling absurdly long distances after they removed some articles of their clothing, especially if that included shoes or boots in rough terrain. 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. Or that there was stasis involved. Especially if youre an expert with answers. This includes a number of cases of divers not finding the body, but random people on the shore finding it afterwards. This would require for the dumping of the body to be virtually instantaneous (think teleportation), perfect optical stealth, Men in Black-like memory or perception control, etc. The AI then has to adapt, and will probably never be able to do so perfectly and permanently. That would explain why its so hard to identify or catch them. In the Daves profile, whoever the perpetrators are seem to be perfect, but no one is 100% effective. With all the insults out of the way, lets look at the profile points. The reason why Im mentioning it is that he had his shirt missing and various articles of his clothing were improperly fastened, almost as if he was undressed and then dressed back in a hurry. Usually, the tragic stories are about mushroom poisoning. The main two cases involving multiple odd coincidences are the disappearance of Dennis Martin and the death of Elisa Lam. What makes it so tough is that I dont think you can determine when it was a failure, and when there was nothing to be 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. I await suggestions. Conversely, a person out to dispose of a corpse in water clearly would take that care. It would be easier to do in a city setting, where there are at least roads all over the place, but in that case, I would expect someone at some point seeing some of the kidnappings. Missing 411: The Hunted is based on the book by Paulides, which documents 185 cases of missing peoples from four different countries. We were lost for better part of an afternoon in spring after foolishly diving into the thick forest. James McGrogan - Missing 411. The. This profile point may be one of the more normal ones, as it makes a lot of sense that if you have a dog with you and the dog for whatever reason decides to run off into the forest, you chasing after it can rather easily lead to you getting lost. 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. These people should not be considered reliable witnesses, but they should have some witness testimonies to offer. 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. Think of reading a missing persons newspaper section with key adjectives sprinkled in. If you could use portals to get in and out of them, that would help a lot, but all the technology you need is a camouflaged door. As I was listening to various cryptid-related podcasts and shows, I have also encountered mentions of a possible conflict raging between bigfoot and dogmen/skinwalkers. In case you were wondering what Ive been doing for the last couple of months instead of writing articles here, I guess you could call it research. Missing 411: The Hunted. To me, if you get past the "oh-my-gosh-it's-horrible-what's-happening" surface feelings, folks might . In the Missing 411 cases, I believe that the percentage of how many causes of death are reported as unknown is far higher than 5%, while even many of the deaths that were reported as death by exposure or drowning seem to be questionable. You may have noticed that in all that speculation, I may have cracked the case at most in the sense of creating some structural microtears in it. Most of this was pretty much what I expected having some idea of what David Paulides has investigated but if you have Amazon Prime and are interested, call this up and go to about about an hour and 15 minutes in and listen to the audio these guys recorded. All 185 cases fit a narrowly defined profile that was refined after researching thousands of missing person reports; these cases are the most difficult, defy common sense, challenge conventional wisdom and remain . One that I will totally use in some of my sci-fi or fantasy stories. Put simply, this profile point is something that makes it harder to find a missing person and easier for people to get more lost. Thats definitely the weirdest scenario. 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. 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. Im personally not an expert on animal behavior, but as I was told by a biochemist, nothing in biology is 100%. 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. The U.K. study also suggests that the truly undeterminable deaths (called the sudden adult death syndrome there) can be incorrectly misdiagnosed as a different cause of death as much as two thirds of the time. If the person was targeted outside, other options open up. Profiling is in some ways similar to cherry-picking, but the science of it is more complicated. Errors can be corrected. It's completely bizarre. Which is most definitely not the case, but its just crazy, yet logical enough to be worth mentioning to showcase how not normal the available data is. But back to how the specific Missing 411 accounts of the people who were found indicate organized predation. It makes for good storytelling, and beyond that, its important to understand that everyone has a bias. All of which are attributes that should be connected with strange disappearances, if you think about it. This profile point doesnt sound necessarily unusual to me, since in any scenario, it has to be much more likely that a missing persons case will remain unexplained when the person disappeared while being alone and out of sight, while any intelligent perpetrator would wait for that moment. 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. Paulides shares several perplexing mysteries and investigations. If there already was a history of people getting lost or being found dead hundreds of years ago, maybe there always were hunting grounds of local predators, maybe there always was a settlement of local wild men, or maybe something about the natural environment itself was always potentially deadly to visitors. The only theory other than aliens was KGB, or some sort of organized crime hit, but then it isnt clear why the agents or criminals would fail to properly dress the guy. In other words, youd expect these two things to correlate. No, the evidence is the only thing that matters. But theres more. I have discussed the German aspect a lot with some people who understand the relevant genetics, and it appears that of all the possible ethnic groups, it wouldnt make much sense to pick Germans.
