i know the ending theories get a little silly/outrageous, but that's on purpose. just to push theories further and further, and have some fun with the wild concepts that i discover.

I love the idea of laughing that you had been scared of “only a bear” as if 3 men with rifles shouldn’t still be afraid of a bear

The most fascinating thing about these missing persons cases is that even the most outlandish theories are closer to explain the situation than whatever the official government explanations claim to cover up whatever is going on.

That first guy just liked to say “we noped the f out of there”.

lol, 4 guys in tactical gear and weapons decide to play army to hunt Bigfoot but get scared and then refuse to help authorities with the search operation, despite having ATVs that would help significantly.

I'm Finnish, it's pretty cool to hear a case from my country. I think I remember hearing about this when it happened, but I could be misremembering since I was pretty young back then. I looked through some old articles in Finnish to see if there was more information. Apparently the body showed no signs that he was a victim of a crime, or that he had been attacked by an animal. However, an autopsy could not determine the cause of his death. One source claims that during his phone call he mentioned that he was being followed by a dog, and seemed to be scared, but no dogs were out at the time in that area. If it had been a large predator, the local farm animals would have freaked out, but that didn't happen. Also, apparently the guy had arranged transport to his group of berry pickers and was supposed to be picked up later that day from the intersection he was last seen at. It's unknown why he would wander into the forest if he was supposed to meet up with his group later. If he had fled in a panic there would have most likely been some signs of it, but the scene was almost entirely untouched. (Please keep in mind that I cannot confirm any of this, I just got it from a news article.) People are speculating that the police could be covering something up, but that's usually the case with any mystery, lol. As someone pointed out, the military base you mentioned is too far from the scene to be the one in the story. I tried to see if I could find mention of an abandoned military facility in the area, but found nothing. One could still exist though, there's not a lot of information out there on this stuff. Anyway, this was a really cool video! It was the first one I watched from you, and I'll definitely watch more!

I can't get enough of your videos. I love Nick Crowley, Nexpro, Mama Max, and Night docs for a few. How have I not found you sooner. You may be the best I've watched in a long time.

Excellent video as always! One thing that seems like a bit of an inconsistency to me is that the military base you brought up is about 200km or 125 miles north of where that man went missing. It doesn't really seem to add up, but keep up the great videos!

One thing I want to point out about the “Missing 411” cases is that a common thing about these missing people is that some go missing when they’re in fact out picking berries in certain areas like near a certain type of stone like for example like stone, etc.

Yes I'm from Poland, we know Leszy well, u can ask whatever. But he looks different from which was described in history. He's often showed with gigantic deer antlers, often his head is just some animal skull with dead eyes and his body is some mix of meat and roots and other growings - he's a spirit of the forest, the highest one, the guardian. He just doesn't fit for me to description of some slittering like lizard.

The monster might actually be Ajatar not a leshy. Ajatar is a Finnish evil spirit that lives in the woods known to be very hairy like the monster in the 4chan thread. She is closely associated with serpents so that explains the slithering in the strou

The first story had me ready to NOPE the hell out, but luckily I love your voice so I stayed

You're great at what you do. Thanks for all of the obvious effort you put into these.

Birds and rabbits out at night? It would help make these more convincing if the authors ever went outside

Perfect to listen to while my power is out

I'm definitely going with OP made up silly story for amusement however the mysterious death of Tsun Chai (sp) is indeed fascinating and sad. It seems that berry pickers have an extremely risky job and probably get little to zero protections

Even if you believe in ghosts, specters, and monsters you had 2 have known the story was fake when he said he saw something dead in the night 100 meters away💀

Hard to imagine something bad happening in a place where people pepper the woods with bullets indiscriminately

I could find a little bit more information about his disappearance in finnish, for example one news article said that on the phone call he made before going missing he had said that he was afraid because he thought a dog was following him. Police said it did not appear he was attacked by an animal but that they’ll know for sure after an autopsy but that’s where all the news articles end cant find any that tell what they found in the autopsy...it doesn’t seem like they ever revealed what happened. Very mysterious and strange case at least according to the information they’ve released. I suppose he could’ve just had a medical emergency or gotten lost and succumbed to the elements and they’re not revealing it out of respect for the family. Or maybe...

I love that slowed down Collective Soul intro. ❤

16:34 Yeah when I heard you say it might have been a Lechy first thing that came into my mind was: "man, what a coincidence, we have these in polish folk lore as well"

Your videos give off plagued moth and nexpo vibes, love it! ❤

right up there with Nexpo-like content, but with your own spin! Love the videos!!

Love the fucking intro song and feeling. Also mad hype for every upload.

Man I miss K stories but I love the extra time and production you put into Maverick Files.

I nearly shat myself when you said "Completely in Finnish". I was all "fugg fugg fugg fugg fugg here too??" : D

This is easily the earliest I've ever been to my subbed videos.

already commented on how great your videos are for being such a small channel, but just gotta say, the slowing down of that collective soul song as your intro is so sick.

Ahhhhh I found it. I had your intro stuck in my head all day today and was searching Nick Crowley intros and Debunked Files. But I made it, Subscribed 😂

yeah, when I hear abt the rabbit raising his head and looking around I realized that its fiction

It really feels like this is being read by the original author. Going to listen to this with my dad in the car tomorrow while we do jobs.

This was a good one. 👍 Hell they’ve all been good since I ran across your channel and became a sub. How tf do you not have more subs ffs?! Keep killin it brotha.

I cannot stress this enough, your channel is gonna get huge. literally better content than the greats like nexpo. don't stop bro♥️

I love types of content like this i love i love feeling afraid but its just amplified because of yir calming voice how it can make the other horrifing noises go away but can also make them more noticeable your videos are great!

The department that works with missing person cases is absolutely evil , if you've seen that 4chan post you know why.

Take a shot every time the first lad says any variation of "noped out"

Yes, there is something out there in the forests of Finland... cold! Lots of cold! Surely the Thai man could have died from exposure/hypothermia?! Perhaps he injured his leg/ankle or just got lost, then succumbed to the cold.

Best scary story voice on KZfaq. INSTANT sub man keep it up

I truly believe something supernatural goes on with the Missing 411. Some cases are just beyond unexplainable.

My heart probably stopped when I saw HS (finnish newspaper) pop up. Never expected the author to be Finnish.

i recently learned of the russian batalion story from Wartime stories channel. This story is related (as far as i'm aware) to the Vottavaara mountain, located almost on the other side of Finland. According to the story, this is a sacred place to the natives, and during the winter war, russians wanted to make an outpost there. Locals warned them to not do it, but they didn't listen and got mutilated by something atop the mountain. After the winter war, the territory was ceased by soviets, and now the mountain is in Karelia, russia. Gotta say it`s a unique place judging from photos of twisted dead trees, beautiful lakes and huge boulders on top of small stones.

Ok there are A LOT of holes in this story. None of this is to insult Maverick as I love his vids, its meant for the 4chan OP. 1) You are NOT just going to be able to acquire a 308. caliber weapon in Northern Europe just like that. You cannot just go to store and say "hello not eastern Europe government, I would like a firearm capable of killing a Grizzley bear." You MIGHT be able to if you jump through months worth of hoops, join a sporting arms club, keep up with your yearly certifications, pay your fees, and spend time at the range so that a police officers will certify you, but you also need a reason to have a big-game capable firearm and "hunting mythical lizard men" will not get you in. I am assuming you are in Scandinavia as this is really the only place where someone would assume it was a 7 foot bear as the rest of Europe has bitch ass bears. Also, "Butler Creek Mag"...Buddy you aren''t getting a mag weapon in Northern Europe, especially one that's above 6 shots and not bolt actions. Jesus that was the give away. "I emptied my mag", put down the videogame controller. 2) German Tourists are all over and its interesting that OP did not mention a language barrier. Though this can be explained by a large number of western Europeans speaking fluent English, the fact that he specified German makes me believe OP is not in fact German. This again leading me to believe that this story takes place in Scandinavia. However, if this does take place in Germany, your weak ass car is defiantly not fast enough to break speed laws on German Highways. No speed limit areas are all over the country and I went 210km/h and still had a guy in a Mercedes hooking at me to move over. Get real. 3) Pipe Bombs...are you serious? This is why I think this story was written by a 19 year old Canadian or American (I am Canadian FYI) as this is how those weird gun nut kids talk. Homie in Northern Europe you cannot just buy combustible materials like this. You can maybe get shells (if you have the hardcore license requirements) and drain the powder but you don't have enough for all those pipe bombs. If you buy the materials you will be put on a list and, depending on country, you can buy enough of a amount without giving your ID and reasoning. For example, I cannot buy lye in Canada past a drain fixing amount without giving my ID as its used to dissolve bodies. You don't just roll up to stores and buy this stuff in Europe and you CANNOT just make and transport pipe bombs without someone taking notice. 4) The most unbelievable part of this story is that there is no animal on earth that just chills when being shot at. Polar bears, Elephants, Crocodiles, Tigers, etc. Any real apex predator on earth runs forward, or far more often, away when guns start going off. This thing chills while being shot at and then falls and slithers. Too many horror movies man. The basic structure of a humanoid creature with fur would mean you can't slither on the ground. Ever seen a snake with fur? Snail? Anything that slithers? No? Yeah cause that's stupid and would make slithering impossible if your fur was getting caught on branches and shit. 5) Ran ten km with full gear through the woods at night....NO YOU DIDN'T. First, 10km is hard enough, even when scared. Second, you can't run 10km with a full pack of gear unless you are a Nepalese Gerka for god sakes. All these guys are apperantly Olympic level Ironmen. Third, and most obviously, you can't run through forests at night without getting seriously hurt. Even with a whole group of guys with flashlights, forests ground sucks, everybody will be tripping and falling and rolling ankles for the maybe 500 meters before you body gives up. Navy goddamn SEALs who ruck through the forest can maybe cover 10km (as the crow flies) through dense forest in half to one full day. Your group must be superhuman. 6)"Some germen tourists" grilling sausage by their RV. His shift was 1-3, lets assume its summer and the sun comes up early, call it 5am. So this means either him and his buddies ran 10+kms in the forest through the dark in 4 hours. and at the very crack of dawn two RV tourists were like "hey 5am sausages?" OR him and his buddies left from 0100-0300 and hiked through a pitch black forest for 4-6 hours for a more realistic wake up time and then ran into the tourists. This of course all happening after supposedly a 10km sprint with 15-30kg of equipment. So he is either claiming that he and his friends are capable of rucking 10km (as the crow flies) in 2-4 hours with 15-30kg of equipment, or that they sprinted 10km and continued to hike for up to six hours after words before meeting the tourists. This is all listening to the first half of the video. I am sorry if theres an ending like "Ohhh my god look at this evidence" but the first 9 minutes are straight up impossible.

4chan?! Missing person?! *_clutches the sexiest pearl necklace from your aunt..._*

Thank you for this videos. I just discovered the channel yesterday . Super production and super content. Congrats for that!

oh that Thai berry picker happened in Finland. that narrows it down then. I found the article. a 38yo thai berry picker went missing in salla 26th of july,. three weeks later a group of conscripts found the body mere 3 kilometers from the place where the berry picker had last been seen. when autopsy was carried out the reason of death was no clear, but they did not suspect there had been a crime. if you ask me I think it was hypothermia. despite july being the warmest month of the year, nights can still get pretty cold so if he were to lay down he would surely die. but I do find it strange how close he died. 3 kilometers is nothing, he died a less than hours walking distance from where he had last been seen.

Can we all please agree to not plink birds with .22s unless you are hunting for food because birds are nice and don’t deserve it?

please never stop making videos i love your channel so much

Best intro music on youtube

Underrated creator tbh, ur videos are amazing

your videos r so well done, always impressed

Never thought I’d see this channel near 50k

this one sent chills up my spine. very nice

Geez, they didn't even tell the ranger about the nest lol?!!

Birds chirping at 1am. Sure they do that in Finland I guess. You can also see rabbits in the pitch dark. But only rabbits and only in Finland.

I need a full version of that opening track! The original just doesn’t hit the same.

I'm Finnish and i really appreciate you for respecting our culture by correcting that Leshy isn't originally Finnish. 🙏

There’s a good documentary that just came out called “Missing 411: The UFO Connection” about this exact topic

You think it could have just been an overgrown crocodile that escaped a zoo or a circus and ended up there?

I don’t know about Finland, but here in Sweden there’s a popular urban legend called “The Goatman”, who is often described as a tall humanoid figure with goat horns and hooves, who can mimic voices and other sounds, among other things.

You're a great story teller.. The likes of Mr Ballen, but I prefer your stories. Thanks for the content. Can't wait for the next installment.

Mana said "Fleshstrider" Twice now I gotta use headphones to watch these videos

The description of the animal in this story does actually fit that of an Eurasian eagle owl. In the dark humans tend to exaggerate the size of what they see. Eagle owls are massive, and are one of the largest owl species in the world, topping even the great grey owl from the Americas and the Powerful owl from Australia. It has yellow eyes, and often a pale colored face. So likely, they saw a Eurasian Eagle owl that night and mistook it for a monster due to being unfamiliar with the owl itself. Then, their second trip, they went there under confirmation bias, expecting to see signs of this animal they saw before, and so anything they found, including the nest and the disappearance fed into that expectation. When in reality, they likely stumbled upon an unrelated nest and the missing berry picker was also unrelated. Confirmation bias is a hell of a drug.

People die each year getting lost in the forest. I love my folklore as much as the next person, but people underestimate how people woods are if you get lost.

loving the new channel. keep it up!

Shout out maverick files!! Gotta be one of my favorite KZfaq channels fr

yea brother these videos are amazing

This was kind of a lame story, that 4chaner was obviously making it up.

The last 50 years hasn't been easy on him, but I'm glad Mr.Speak & Spell is still getting work.

I'm late to this but when looking into the man's disappearance, apparently in his phone call he said that "I'm being attacked by a dog that isn't a dog" I'm not sure how true this is, but I've found it mentioned several times, even in a forum. No idea what to make of this. I couldn't find any cause of death being made public even 2 years after the man's disappearance.

always look forward to these

Love this channel and love the intro song and outro . That shine intro 👌

Funny enough I recently got a “/k/ a wonderful place” patch in a blind box order

This is a really good channel, Maverick 👀🍿😊☺️

Your channel is great. Feels very much like Nexpo. Keep it up.

your voice is so relaxing i almost fell asleep LMAO but great video!

They probably saw a moose and freaked out then made up a story.

Great content! Would you kindly help me with a question? How did you did that robotic voice at 1:11 ?

So why would they not take the cameras when surveying the woods?

The man was murdered by human, his phone went off after 30 mins from his last phone call

I was going to make a joke about leshy being the historically accurate Lorax, but I’m unsure if that’s appropriate

I love this channel so much ❤

-Be Finnish hunter. Chilling and drinking. -Saw your first furry. -Flee and arm up like Stalin had been resurrected. -Police is there already. -Berry guy sees furry. -Heart attack.exe activate.

Very best genre intro music, ever! 👊

When it gets really quiet to the point where the birds aren’t singing that means there’s a predator nearby, that is A MAJOR sign to get the fuck out

the intro song always makes me think of a mix of heart shaped box and how you remind me's guitar riffs mixed together

IS THIS FUCKING TIME SIX ? Bro I’ve missed you.

I think I munch prefer this content than the story compilations

Man, I miss TimeSix so much.

Bro idk how you came up with the intro but it’s really good

is the opening song just a slowed down version of Collective soul - (spit me out)???

This guys voice sounds like Nate Knudson from the "Down the Rabbit Hole" youtube channel. BTW Dont the Rabbit hole is a great channel!

14:59 Do you think he has records in Finnish? This does take place in Finland. Or possibly Thai? It could be the case Thailand news talked about it

OG skinwalker and spook stories are so much better than modern ones you see get spammed, new ones just aren't scary anymore

the intro music is what first drew me into the first video i watched and now im hooked! whats the orginal name of the intro song tho?? i know the song but cant put a name to the band.

just found ur channel, ong im enjoying all ur vids 😭

You have a amazing voice!

Can you, or anyone here, list the opening and ending music used? The specific tracks, please. I noticed liminal was the composer at least.

You had me laughing at “ “pipe bombs” 🤣🤣🤣

Could have told the cop that wanted help with the search, "go check the big nest full of bones, back in those woods!!"

Wait Leshy is an actual folklore creature? A character with the same name is in a good meta horror game called Inscription and I didn’t realize he was based off a Slavic monster, that’s pretty cool.
