Hey all, My old microphone died so I had to get a new one & upgraded but I'm not quite used to it yet so this video is a bit "punchier" than usual! Nothing too bad but working on it and will be fixed in the next video. I hope that you're all having a nice build up to Christmas, it's getting pretty busy for me now so the next two videos will likely be the yearly hour long compilation videos and then next year I'm wanting to get back into making some of the more documentary-styled videos that I used to do & haven't done in awhile. So, this will include disappearances, (somewhat) related topics and others. So let me know if you want to add a topic to my list! Be safe all!

I heard about this one case where a family reported their kid missing after driving to the beach. Turned out the dad had killed the kid the day before and the beach trip was done to misdirect the police. So when a kid disappears within 10 minutes of getting to the mountains, I really think they ought to check the families back yard for any recent holes...

It does seem strange how someone can disappear without a moments notice and all of a sudden as if like magic suddenly reappear with no real explanation for what happened to them

I grew up in Sumter, SC where I hunted and fished on the Santee River and the connected swamp called Sparkleberry. People get lost periodically. Some are found, some are not. I have friends that have been in hunt clubs their entire lives. They claim to have seen black panthers. We had Lizard Man sightings that made the news worldwide. Shaw AFB is near there and they operate Manchester Bombing Range. Sometime around the mid 80’s I went deer hunting with my little brother named Eric and his buddy Artie. We were in Manchester maybe 5 miles from Shaw. Eric and Artie went one and I went another. The sun goes down very fast because all the land slopes down from from the ridges to the river. Even in a car cutting through the swamp at 60 mph, it takes 15 minutes to cut across at the Sumter / Columbia line. It was a weird day in that I didn’t see any small game or even any birds. Around sundown, I started back to the car. Then somebody started yelling and hollering really loud. I could tell it was a grown man and both Eric and Artie were just kids. But regardless I took off double time up a hill on a game trail. As I got near the yelling, I came up to an old wire fence covered in honeysuckle where the trail went through an opening. I had to bend way down to get through the opening. The yelling was continuing the whole time but the instant I got through the opening, the yelling stopped dead. All in one motion, I stood up and jerked my head sideways. I was only about 20 feet or so from the person yelling their damn head off but I couldn’t see anybody. I was standing on an old logging road with someone right next to me that was invisible to me. They could see me. They stopped yelling. I even spoke up asking who they were and why I couldn’t see them. I had a Marlin 30-30 in my hands, fully loaded. I cocked the hammer back and had it aimed toward where the yelling was coming from. It was the only time in my life where I was armed and scared shitless. I even said if anything moved I was going to cut loose. I can’t remember how long I stood there but it was getting dark fast. I walked backwards to the fence opening and then had to bend back down to get on the trail. I’ve been in some scary situations but never anything like that. I made my way back to the car where Eric and Artie were waiting. Eric asked me why I was doing all that yelling. I looked at him and said it wasn’t me. That was about 35 or 40 years ago and even now when we talk on the phone, that day always comes up. He always says the same thing, “you should’ve seen the look on your face.” I’ve thought about that day many times. I will retell the story if I’m around friends but still don’t have any answers as to what happened. All I know is that there was at least one man that had an ability to see not be seen. Then I found David Paulides and the 411 series. Thanks for reading if you made it this far.

It's sad that they disappeared but at the same time it's heartwarming to hear of all the efforts people went through to try and find them.

The survival rule of threes; 1. three minutes without oxygen. 2. three hours without shelter. 3. three days without water. 4. three weeks without food. Yeah I know that, those all are more or less variables. Input the term in any search engine, or Google, and that is the answer you'll get. Something to keep in the back of your head, when Adam is talking about these cases. T he mic sounds fine Adam. Outstanding upload as always.

These cases always makes me wonder how many serial killers are active in the national parks that we have no idea about. It’s likely not the explanation for all of these cases but it would make a lot of sense in many…

Hikers travelling alone should carry a tracking device or beacon that can be activated in an emergency.

So I'm from Visalia, about 2 to 3 hours away from Yosemite. Last year I worked at a hotel in town and we were housing a large In n Out training team from Arizona, as there were two new locations that opened up. One day all the In n Out kids decided they wanted to head down to Pismo Beach, about 2 and a half hours away, total opposite direction of Yosemite. The reason I say this is, only one guy had decided to take a solo trip to Yosemite. Now this kid is from Arizona and has zero experience hiking and absolutely was not prepared. I come in the next day and everyone is freaking out, he hadn't come back from his trip, his phone was dead and everyone else was back and getting ready for work. We had his managers number, we even investigated his room to make sure this wasn't gonna be a crime scene. Now note this is also right after the large wildfire that swept through three rivers and the sequoias. We had to wait until we hit 24 hours to report him missing. Eventually this guy shows up in the late afternoon with his Uncles and father who'd driven all the way from Arizona. I don't know how they found him but here's what he tells me. He had gone on a hike, didn't get to Yosemite until about 2, and the hike was 4 hours up and back. He didn't take into account his battery life or the fact that he'd loose daylight faster behind mountain ridges. So his phone dies, this dude didn't bring a flashlight, so he tries to find his way back to his car down the mountain with almost no visibility, he nearly stumbles into a bear...RUNS FOR SOME REASON and hides under a tree until the sun comes up......do not go hiking in Yosemite if you don't know wtf you're doing.

As someone who is from the region, I can tell you that if you go to Yosemite, you won't question how easy it is for someone to just vanish. You can walk up on a bear and wouldn't know it until it's too late. And trust me, big ones are out there. I've seen them, they've gone through my camp and even tore apart a small car with someone inside for a candy bar. There's tons and tons of steep granite and forest so thick you can lose someone right next to you and some good rapids in parts of the rivers. Extra credit for pronouncing Nevada and Stanislaus National Forest correctly. Didn't quite get Tuolumne though, but that's a tough one. Too-all-uh-me

I remember climbing Ramapo mountain in New Jersey. i’ve made this trip dozens of times to fish at a lake near the top since the age of 15. One particular hike up there I zoned out and realized I was off the path and on the other side of the mountain. According to my watch an hour and 20 minutes went by. I still can’t explain how that happened.

Was anyone else caught of guard by the “spoiler alert: he wasn’t back by midnight”? 😅

Pretty sure Walter was just... kidnapped. Being male doesn't exclude you from being picked up at the side of the road and disappeared. I could very easily see it being a situation where he knew he wouldn't be able to walk back in the dark, someone offered to drive him back to wherever he was staying in the park, and then just drove off with him. Just because he was on the side of the road, or just because he got into a car, doesn't mean he meant to leave.

Yosemite is a native word that means " They Who Kill"! What a nice name for a park.

I honestly about became missing 411 in a state park in WV earlier this year its a very strange experience and I don’t quite understand everything that happened myself but it made me pack heavier even on day hikes and to keep my senses open for more of unexplained things

Great video Sir 👍💯👍I went camping in the Mt Hood Oregon wilderness area at the end of August and when I got to my first stop "shell rock creek campground" where know one was there I went to the creek with the dog is when I realized there was no sound other than the creek and light wind I stayed on Mt Hood for 4 days moving to 2 different campgrounds and everywhere I went there was complete silence and after 3 days of that I started to hear my own blood pulsing in my head it was very strange

Forests are beautiful during the day.. but at night it is absolutely the most terrifying place in the world to be alone . The noises.. the damn noises..

I live bottom of Tahoe and let me tell you something is wild up here . 10 yrs ago I was with family driving home from Stockton CA on Xmas during a huge b storm in the Sierra and cal trans shut down road but didn't see us an I was at the top when they did it driving 2 miles a hour with lots of snow. Then at the top of Christmas tree valley heading down to Tahoe and wolf jumped down from above about 25 ft down to the road and landed. He was taller on all fours then my car !! We made eye contact and it jumped up the cliff like it was nothing. We also got aggressive coyotes who snatch dogs. Maybe slick giant animals just snatch and run leaving not much evidence

In my country theres a famous folklore where when a person doesn’t come back from the wilderness or densely populated forest, that means the forest took them, if you are lucky the forest might make you a slave and let you go free after some years but your memory will be wiped out clean, you won’t remember anything and for the unlucky ones they will never make it back home,

The part that’s really weird is that dogs/helicopters/professional trackers can’t find any trace. Ppl get lost every day, but they don’t just vanish.

My favorite channel to put on for a nap.

Good one man. I love your content and obsessively listen to all of it. Keep up the good work.

I like the way you have presented this with your stories and I love your channel.

Sunderland ,UK tuning in x

Our family has 2 missing members. It is mentally& emotionally devistating! No progress reports,no leads,no sightings. It is heartbreaking. 600,000 go missing each year. Safety is a cruel,evil joke!!

Hey from Oxford England,1st view lol

Always ready hear some more stories 🙏

I lived in El Portal for years and went to school there. Loved it, but lots of strange people came through

Outstanding reporting as ALWAYS!!!!!!!! Great video, like I am NEVER going there in my life, but Great video

Awesome as always thanks for everything

These ppl who disappear in the woods that end up being found days later somehow being able to survive impossible freezing temps while wearing thin clothing, they have mostly been abducted for several days & placed back in a place where they can easily be found. The reason why they have no memory is because their short term memory has been wiped either by psychological trauma, power of suggestion or by some electronic means that places the subject into a docile stupor. It could be done by the military as there is an eerie coincidence that there are military bases always nearby where many ppl disappear or it could be done by UFO abductions for unknown purposes.

Hey Adam. Thanks for your great video, again!

Thank you for sharing.✨️

Excellent videos my man, keep up the good work!

Our favorite channel! Always look forward to watching these.

Happy Holidays..😀 from West Virginia

More videos please! I thoroughly enjoy each and every video. 😊

Thanks so much for this great video. It is very interesting and not at all sensationalised. i am looking forward to the next installment.

Bravo good sir.👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Another epic episode.

Thank god I was running out of stuff I like to watch. One of my favs xx

Great video. I worked in Tioga pass every summer when I was in school, at 10,000 feet. Very rugged, easy to get disoriented and lost. Never hike alone.

I love the style of your videos they're all really well put together, also quite entertaining!

He turned around at the spot the dogs kept stopping and walked back the way he came.

The artwork was beautiful.

Wow the boy got found with only water. Wow very lucky!

Love these!

I don't know how people just disappear unless in a crevasse or underground caves. Its scary! I used to want to go to the parks but not anymore

The first man was snatched by something that lives in the rock. They opened a hidden door, grabbed him and dragged him into the mountain. Second one was picked up and carried by things that are strong enough to hold him/ carry him and jump from tree to tree. Then eaten.

Wow! I have stayed at the Hotel Ahwahnee back in the 1990s. Never knew about the disappearance of Orvar von Lass. I guess it is not something the hotel would advertise.

Thank you for the interesting stories.

Love the zoom in to the location from satellite image.

Wow guys if you're hiking or outdoors in the US stay with a cellphone , firearm and GPS locator. If in other parts of the world you are screwed I guess.

I really enjoy and look forward to your video's. Thank you and keep up the fantastic work you do 😀

Great work as always , you are very respectful with your reporting!

At 22:48 the shot with the lake and trees if you look in the small opening to the right of the screen you can see something move across the clearing in the trees. Just thought it was funny. I believed it to be a still shot til I seen that from the corner of my eye.

You are good narrator, thank you.

There is no body of water, short of a few drops, that is too shallow to be dangerous.

Hey Adam.. Sounds like a new Mic. Lol. 🤪 One has to Appreciate a channel that does take the time out & address the Viewers comment, good or bad. P.S. All the Outstanding work that you put into these videos are greatly appreciated. Take care & stay safe. 🦅

Good show brother.

☮️ enjoy these very much

"I always find it interesting how some people manage to disappear so fast without a trace." Every mom in a supermarket: challenge accepted.

Yes, not to seem like a total "looney" (which is EXACTLY what the U.S. & Canadian governments WANT you to think about those who have FIRST hand experiences with CRYPTIDS). But, at the expense of the "stigma" attached to these beliefs, It IS TIME for both governments to admit that some (as yet), UNclassified but VERY well known creatures inhabit these parks. (They have even been PROVEN to exist through a very intense, expensive, professional 5-year long Sasquatch Genome Project).The fear of these governmental entities is the legal factors. They are damned if they DO admit their existence = lawsuits, anger, and a MASSIVE loss of income from park fees & permits. They are damned if they DON'T admit it which = huge sums of TIME/& MONEY & risking the lives of searchers (when they KNOW that (possibly), this could be the work of a Cryptid encounter. For those that DO enjoy the back country & hiking alone, just know that you may encounter something so strange/mind altering & UNbelievable, that you may toss aside your backpack 🎒 and start running for your life!! This will do you NO good (and neither will having a high caliber firearm (which might also be illegal in certain parks). In fact having a hiking partner and a camera might serve you better. I know that these unfortunate lost souls should have had SOME type of warning prior to taking their adventure(s).

Thank you Adam! Always a pleasure to see you!👏😊👍♥️♥️♥️

Nice to see this in my recommendations since I was there a few days ago lol

I'm guessing that most people who suffer an episode of amnesia don't have a history of it....

Thanks 👍😘🇸🇪

The Wendigos are to blame. I nearly was a statistic too in Yosemite. Luckily I escaped.

Very nice video.

Always a pleasure to hear your voice & I love the accent. 😁 I wonder if they ever check for footprints. When they found the backpack did they notice more than one footprint? You always check for footprints, human and/or animal. Scat, if it's fresh, nearby & who or what did it. These can tell you a lot, plus if there is trampled foliage, broken branches, blood droppings, etc. When looking for somone, especially in the mountains, you have to put all of the skills of the native americans, CSI agents, a local mountain guide & a bloodhound. Adam, have you ever thought of taking state by state & doing disappearances for each one? Each state has it's stories, but I was thinking of stories not well known. Or maybe try a little something different. For me, anything you can dig up on Louisiana, especially central & the southern areas would be great. I'm just an ole cajun lady with time on my hands & a thirst for knowledge of any kind. 😁😁😁🙋‍♀️😊🇺🇲

Im obsessed with this missing people stuff. It makes me want to go spend the night on location in some of these places with a small arsenal and see what happens lol

Kids can be surprisingly resilient. I've seen kids suffer falls that would have left an adult limping if not with a broken limb. Kid just pops back up like nothing happened. Youth does has some advantages. What is frustrating about these tales of kids who are found is how thin the explanations are. Kid never yelled for help? That was always my first instinct if I was in a situation I knew adult assistance was needed. No explanation how he kept warm, where did he sleep, etc.

You know you would think after all these years with all these disappearances that we know about, not counting the ones they haven’t told the public about!! You would think the national park would atleast put up some trail cams or something especially in the red or hot areas where numerous people have come up missing at?? I mean it’s trivial on how or where they go, but could easily be figured out, if they would atleast try to put some type of surveillance in these back country areas!! Anyhow love the content!! May god bless these families that have lost loved ones!! And May god bless everyone reading these comments!! Happy holidays to all!!

Thanks!

I love these! More please.

Another odd thing with the Martin Case was that the millatary was there pretty fast but in Most cases the Army doesnt get involved in search Parties very often and If then Not in the day of His disapierance.

Good show again I'm a newbie

I am definitely desiring an entire episode dedicated to Headless man valley of Canada. The phenomena so odd so bizzare and terrifying that it defies reason. I also recommend paranormal scholars episode about it too! That valley is a hotspot cryptids dissappearances and oddities

You never disregard that there might be people hiding in the woods with evil intentions. Bring a gun or any weapon with you to make it more difficult for them to do something to you. Most of these events seem to be pointing at people kidnapping others for money or just for other sinister purposes.

They call them, "National Parks" because it is so much less alarming than admitting that they are, "Goblin Reservations".

Regarding the first case, is it possible Orvar doubled back on himself and followed the trail back, only to disappear elsewhere? Don't know whether bloodhounds are trained for that, so it could be the dogs missed it due to there being two separate scent trails.

The first story where the man disappeared. The dogs tracked him to a vertical dead end, to steep to climb apparently. So strange how these individuals are just GONE! I remember a video about the Sierra NV mountains. A man hiking came across one of those Praying Mantis looking creatures. Idk, there's definitely something taking these people & it has 100% accuracy & never witnessed! What of this earth is capable of doing that?

I feel Walter was running for his life, but I don’t know why.

I spent a lot of time hiking in Yosemite Park. Just for the record, Tuolumne is Two-OL-um--nee. Tioga is Tie-O-ga.

For an essay at uni once, I was looking at and talking to my tutor about the photography of Ansel Adams. The whole time, I was pronouncing Yosemite yo-sem-ight (rhymes with bite). At no point was I corrected. I felt a real fool. Forget Yosemite Sam, here's Yosemite Dwight! 😑

Art work is really nice

Can someone explain to me why whenever I click on a video with the word Top in it, they are talking in this really weird way? I can't listen to someone talking like this. WTF? Talk normally.

You sound fine.

Maybe there was a secret entrance in the ciff face for the fist case!!

Nice.

nice

Rule #1: YOU NEVER HIKE THE LEDGE TRAIL!!!

Granite is key factor in these disappearances.

Well guess I commented too soon lol.

People don’t realize how crowded Yosemite can actually get. There are a lot of people in the Valley on any given day, so it wouldn’t surprise me if some of those people have evil intentions. Also, the place is huge, so a person could easily get lost and fall down somewhere where it would be hard to find the body. And there are mountain lions up there that could snatch people too.

Your accent reminds me of my favorite KZfaqr, Laura Towler! You must be from about the same area? What an adorable accent 🥰

I think there are alien beings deep Inside those mountains I know it sounds bizzare but I just have a feeling I also think a lot of these people that where found dead with out a mark on them, probably died from fright from whatever took them. TO MANY HAVE GONE MISSING IN YOSEMITE PARK UNDER TOTALLY BIZZARE CIRCUMSTANCES. We are not told about all the missing people I believe it is staggering. Something is going on that's why there are so many channels dedicated to missing people

All parks and camping sites are very risky if you’re alone or if you take children. Even in groups, getting everybody home safely doesn’t always happen.

When you've seen enough videos of Grizzly bears charging people, the idea that so many go missing in this area really doesn't sound so strange

the first 2 sound like murders... lots of serial killers back then. and possibly someone sharp enough to tell the 2nd guy to take his shoes off or put different shoes on while walking out by force/at gunpoint or something. although... last time i was at Yosemite in 2021, several people were too close to cliff edges and/or sitting on them to take pics or get a better view, and being very - in my opinion- risky in their behaviors near certain death of a fall.

100 percent abduction...any time someone is found thousands of feet higher tells that the craft dropped off person closest from air as is more convenient...and the perfect physical health after 6=7 days?? no way unless sedated...sad that society cant broaden their horizons in all aspects and every thing else is discounted? why not
