Hey! Finally back after getting a virus over Christmas (great timing) - As always do share your thoughts and if you're planning on going hiking/camping over the weekend then do put in that extra effort to be safe and make sure you let people know where you're going. I hope you're having a good Friday and enjoy the weekend!

Anyone who goes hiking in that wilderness and doesn’t tell anyone where they are going, is either not experienced enough or has too big of an ego. The animals don’t care how experienced you are.

Spent 55 years in the Pacific Northwest. Learned a long time ago. Never go into the wilderness by yourself. Always carry a 12 gauge with slugs and a hand gun. The rest is negotiable. By the way, love your channel. Big fan. Thanks for your efforts.

A lot of people don't realize how big Alaska actually is, and how few people are available to search when someone goes missing. For people who go missing from the Lower '48, or tourists from elsewhere, a lot of them just didn't wear the right clothing. Summers can kill. They wander off into the woods, thinking Alaska is like places with a town every hour or two, and... nope. When their down-filled nylon gets wet, they've got two layers of nylon. We wear wool up there.. Bears eat people; catch a moose on a bad day and you're done. We carry fire-arms for a lot of reasons. People do wander off to commit suicide sometimes as well.

I'm from Alaska. This video got my attention. There was some mispronunciation of place names, however I applaud and commend your taking the initiative and producing what was, in all, a very well-researched video (with spectacular footage!) because these were real people with real lives whose loved ones all too often see them become just some more forgotten statistics. That happens too easily and too often, and frankly not enough effort is made to keep their cases/memories alive. People like you are a wonderful exception to that. You're doing more good than you even realize. Thank you!

After watching this I'm glad I injured my foot that required surgery. It prevented me from taking a solo trip to Alaska. I was in great shape, hiked, ran, worked out, biked, health nut and had lived in Alaska for a few years in the 70s. I had planned on going to Mt Denali, hiking around Anchorage and Seward by myself as I had done previously. I was upset that my plans had changed but now believe that maybe it was for the better. Still plan in going to Alaska but with a group!

I lost my uncle outside of Anchorage. Instrument panel malfunctions caused his piper to slam into the side of a mountain under fog out conditions. Thanks for researching this subject.

I live smack in the middle of the Triangle, SO many people disappear here. Be careful if you go to Alaska, especially if you are Native/Indigenous because they are the only race i see on missing posters nowadays.... be careful 💖 never go alone

Now I understand why my son-in-law recommended I go on an Alaskan cruise, he was hoping I'd disappear.

Regarding the missing Congressman's plane, my mother-in-law's father, Alan Wheeler, was in a plane with 2 other companions that went down in that exact same storm in October 1972, that the Congressman's plane went missing in. In the search for the Congressman's plane, they instead found Alan's plane and all three men inside, passed away. Just perked up when I heard this story in your video and thought that was an interesting side note to point out. He left behind a wife and 6 children.

I live in Anchorage for 26 yrs, left in 2019, I can't tell you all the totally crazy, unbelievable, scary as hell things myself and family have seen and experienced all over that part of Alaska!! We should write a book about our experiences. Everything you hear about up there is 99% true! It's so vast, 80% of it man hasn't even touched!!

I've got many loggers in my family, they live in the mountains in Shasta, I was born Ft Lewis ft of Mt Rainier, my mom told me YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO BE ON THAT MOUNTAIN BY YOURSELF. I used to hike with my dog all the time. She said people vanish without a trace, YOU have got exactly what they're looking for. This was in 1990. But she didnt say WHAT, WHO was looking for. She just said NOT SAFE. Not ever. Not even with dog. Do not be on that mountain alone. Well fast forward a couple decades, and we've got David Paulides MISSING 411, and all sorts of breakaway civilizations stories. This missing persons stuff is REALLY SPOOKY! No matter how you look at it, apart from the first story with the politicians, the "missing persons" pieces just don't fit with our understanding of our world as we know it. The PNW area, the whole west coast actually has some weird energy, i KNOW that. Even off the southern coast, there's weird stuff going on underwater. I think President Clinton was part of mass abduction Coronado Island in 94. Weird stuff.

Now can you imagine the amount of mysterious events that goes on in Siberia. Alaska is huge, yet magnitudes smaller than Siberia.

Living in Alaska and working in some of the most remote places....I will tell you that some weird shit goes on. Especially in the villages. Cases of women suddenly burning their children alive in their cars, people dissapearing without a trace, groups of men coming back from a hunt and being completely different people, etc. I myself have witnessed people going nuts while working in these remote places.

Whilst hiking in such extreme environments, nature has the power to take you regardless of experience, provisions, safety gear, and competence.

With Thomas, it really doesn't matter how much training or experience he had all it takes is 1 unexpected accident or injury

Loving the Alaska mysteries! ❄️🐻🌲 I’ve lived here my whole life and been in that triangle quite a few times and flown over it too, my last couple of flights I’ve gotten some great pictures of the endless mountains in the area. I can definitely see how someone could just vanish. The forests and mountains are so dense and vast that you might as well be searching the ocean.

I live in Anchorage Ak, inside the triangle. You should check out The Mount Marathon disappearance of Michael Lemaitre. He was running in an official race with hundreds of other runners in Seward ,Alaska up a very small mountain where you can see the whole mountain. He was last seen by a race official checking in at the top, and turning around to go back down the mountain. He has never been seen again. Just doesn't make sense.

The second story shows that even if you have training & are experienced & knowledgeable hiking in the wild has many hazards. You only have to trip or slip & go down into a hole you cannot crawl out of & thats it.

I told a bad fall on the Appalachian trail in Virginia. Messed up my left leg badly. I was only a mile from a road crossing. I've hiked hundreds of miles without incident. One fall and I was disabled. Thankfully I had 4 friends with meet to help me out. Had this been a more remote location we would have needed to call SAR. It's dangerous out there. Solo backpacking is awesome until it's not.

There are many lost planes in the Alaskan triangle. I would love to see a video done on that subject.

Regarding the first story- At the time of his disappearance, Hale Boggs was demanding the resignation of the infamous and highly controversial head of the FBI, J. Edgar Hoover. The charge? Unauthorized wiretapping of US Congressmen- BOTH Representatives AND Senators. This was no small thing, as it is at the scope, scale and significance of the similar crimes of the notorious events of Watergate, which took place the following year after his disappearance. From the New York Times, in 1971, in the months prior to the disappearance: WASHINGTON, April 5- The House Democratic leader, Hale Boggs of Louisiana, called today for the resignation of J. Edgar Hoover, director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. “I ask that Mr. Mitchell, the Attorney General of the United States, have the courage to ask for the resignation of this man,” Mr. Boggs told the House. He accused Mr. Hoover and the bureau of tapping the telephones of members of Congress and of stationing agents on campuses to spy on students and faculty members. He said that these were ‘'the tactics of the Soviet Union and Hitler's Gestapo.” Mr. Boggs did not elaborate on his wiretapping charges in his speech. An aide said later that the Democratic leader would stand by his statement. A spokesman for the bureau promptly denied that the F.B.I. tapped the telephones of members of Congress. Mr. Boggs is the second member of Congress to accuse the bureau publicly of tapping Congressional telephones. At a political dinner March 19 in Denver, Senator Joseph M. Montoya, Democrat of New Mexico, said: "There is wiretapping on Capitol Hill of the telephones of US Senators and Congressmen.” Senator Montoya was not available today for further comment. A spokesman in his office said that the Senator had said that it was “common talk and common belief” in the Senate cloakrooms that the telephones of "a good many Senators” had been tapped. Several Echo Charge Several members of Congress said privately today that they felt that their telephones had been tapped but that they could not prove it. Mr. Boggs is the first member of the Democratic Congressional leadership to demand the resignation of the 76‐year‐old director of the bureau. However, other prominent Democrats, including two Presidential contenders, Senator George S. McGovern of South Dakota and Senator Edmund S. Muskie of Maine, also recently asked that Mr. Hoover resign. The House had just convened when Mr. Boggs moved to the microphone today and, speaking without notes, leveled his charges against Mr. Hoover. Speaker Carl Albert said later that Mr. Boggs had not discussed the matter with him before making the speech. The Speaker declined comment on whether he, too, felt that Mr. Hoover should step down. However, the F.B.I. just a year ago was granted authority by Congress to make campus investigations. The FBI was given the money to hire additional agents and to investigate arson and disorders. Documents stolen in early March from the Bureau's Media, Pa. office included a Hoover memorandum of Nov. 4 ordering “an increase in both quality and quantity of intelligence information on black student unions and similar groups which are targets for influence and control by violence‐prone Black Panther party and other extremists.” ------- There are more controversial claims and considerations such as his opposition to the findings of the Warren Commission concerning the JFK assassination, as well as the fact that a certain young Bill Clinton(yes, THAT one) was his driver the day he disappeared- Clinton was supposed to be in Texas that day, instead.... Et Cetera, Ad Nauseam, Ad Absurdum, Ad Infininitum... However, many of those controversial considerations are dismissed to the realms of conspiracy so I would simply invite anyone to research these things and decide for themselves. www.nytimes.com/1971/04/06/archives/boggs-demands-that-hoover-quit-accuses-fbi-of-tapping-congressmens.html

I really enjoyed this vid! Indeed, after all the odd disappearances of hikers, I’ve decided to curtail my urge to push ahead of my companions while on a hike.😉

This is my first time watching and I'm very impressed I love the content citations. 😁

Love the amount off research you do on each case. Keep the mysteries coming 😊

As someone who has born and lived on the Kenai Peninsula in Alaska and where my parents, siblings and their families live and where my husband and family visit every year I can attest to the fact that many people disappear into the wilderness of Alaska. A LOT of them end up having accidents and tragically die due to a fatal fall or accident and/or due to exposure. The way clouds and crazy at storms that are created by Mt. Denali (or really any of the mtns in Alaska as they are tall, imposing and starkly beautiful.). With wildlife there are close to 38K+ Alaskan Grizzly Bears, 5K Polar Bears (closer to Barrow obv), 30K Brown Bears, 100K Black bears, 3.5K Kodiak Brown Bear, 11K+ Arctic Wolves, and 100K+ of some of the meanest Moose you will EVER encounter in Canada or even in the Rockies in the USA. These numbers are ONLY a modest estimate and the numbers could be hundreds if not thousands more of every of these predators. Most important lesson is ALWAYS respect wildlife especially if they’re apex predators! It also does seem like a LOT of these people go missing from early summer to late fall when bears are most active, have babies that they’re extremely protective of and will take a casual swipe at you if you happen to be hiking or fishing near a body of water where salmon are swimming upstream. The bears become more and more desperate to eat enough calories as they come closer to their annual hibernation. It takes a LOT of calories for a apex predator to survive the harsh winters in Alaska. Here is an article written recently by an online magazine: www.journeyingtheglobe.com/most-dangerous-animals-in-alaska/ Many other people WANT to disappear into the wilderness of Alaska whether it’s for running from the world to wanting to conquer said world. Many yearn or choose the life of solitude. To “commune with nature”. This happens far more often then people truly realize in Alaska. Sadly Alaska is THE largest state in the USA and there are places in the interior of Alaska that no human has ever touched or will ever touch as it’s so remote, so dense in trees, swamps, and BILLIONS of mosquitoes the size of a B-52 Bomber and extremely thick underbrush that even a light aircraft, water plane or helicopter could land safely on. Alaska is a breathtakingly beautiful, awe inspiring but also extremely stark and inhospitable landscape. The one lesson I could teach any visitor to this jaw dropping place is always RESPECT nature. Always and I mean ALWAYS travel with a friend and especially if you’re planning a trip into the interior make sure people know EXACTLY where you’re going, have a satellite phone and a LOT of bear spray. Or just be super smart and NOT wander off into the wilds of Alaska unprepared for EVERY possibility. Thanks for sharing and one of my BFF’s is a journalist out of Anchorage if you ever need any research she’s someone I would recommend speaking to. Much love and positive vibes from a homesick Alaskan living in the wilds of Montana. ✨💖✨

Not all who go missing are lost.... some of us choose to not be found. I spent 6 years in Northern Alaska living off the land, it is an unforgiving, brutal area that will challenge even the best survivalist.

"Alaskan Triange: The area consists of incredibly large sprawling forests icy mountain peaks and desolate tundra" So does the rest of Alaska. To be honest, the triangle looks like a random triagle drawn in Alaska. I'm sure there are tons of disappearances that happen outside of that triangle in Alaska too.

Glad you're feeling better. I watch your shows sometimes three and four times over. Always learn something new. Thanks have a great and safe week.

I lived in Alaska for my whole life, and there is so much weird shit that's happened that I could talk about. Killings that never go investigated or ever talked about again. Go ahead and Google some, there's never any closure to them. The weird feeling of the forests, the things you see in the trees. Disappearances, everything odd you can think of. It was frustrating to live there and never know what was going on, because the police and government officials wouldn't tell us anything.

In Alaska, one small plane crashes EVERY MONTH. There are wicked downdrafts, mountains, all manner of clouds, and other hazards in flying in that massive country. Plane crashes just happen. My friend lost her husband in such a crash, and there was never a trace. This is more often the case than not. So this crash is sadly not unusual.

Something about your voice adds an air of mystery to these already mysterious happenings and events! Keep making videos, they are all great!

The pictures and video are mesmerizing. You do a great job with these very strange disappearances.

Honestly dont think your vids can be anymore better dude. Every video is so well done and I cant wait for the next.

Hey brother! Welcome back!! If you get a chance to do Grand Canyon vanishings, I would truly appreciate it!

Honestly this is the best channel for missing and disappeared case videos! I just bingewatched like a hundred videos today! This channel is a goldmine of quality content.

Hey brother glad to see you’re back I was worried that you disappeared. No pun intended LOL I believe Hale Bogg was the key To the disappearance of the plane. Anyway great video as always...Congratulations on the success of your channel one of the best

I remember a few TV shows that looked into deaths of people up north around Alaska & higher north where the victims had their heads ripped off. When I searched for it now there seems to be no information like as if it never existed. I remember that these deaths had been happening since the 1700's where settlers had made log cabins by a river only to disappear then later be found with their head missing & the case being left as a cold case. The indigenous also know about these things out in the forest that are like giants that hunt people, perhaps the reason why so many people go missing in Alaska is because of the paranormal activity in the area & also these beings that we haven't seen before but only heard about in legends.

YES !!! Please do more on the ALASKAN ,missing aircraft ! I find it fascinating ,how these huge planes can just VANISH from the face of the earth ,not to mention all the poor souls whom were lost too !!!

The flight path of the first plane lost was partly coastal, meaning it could have been lost at sea. Even experienced explorers underestimate nature or are just ambushed by it. A sudden storm can do it and with just hiking gear you cant fight nature. Out there there are so few towns and habitations that there is no practical help or refuge within reach. Worst is with flaky people, Chris McCandless and the like, utterly ill prepared and light headed about risk and knowing what they are doing.

Glad you're back! I find these mysteries fascinating. Thank You for posting.

You have my sympathy. I had a virus over Christmas too. Had to miss a Christmas dinner out & the carol service. Very disappointing, but I wasn't the only one. Wishing you an excellent 2020. Thankyou for sharing these stories.

Glad you are back and feeling better! I needed more mysteries!! Thank you!

I love the narration, you presented this well! Thanks for posting this!

You should of researched michael palmer of wasilla alaska and his brother. Michael went missing while riding a bike with his friends. Nothing was ever found of him. A decade later his brother disappears while riding snow machining. Talk about creepy and sad.

Hi, I would definitely be interested in seeing more video's of missing or downed aircraft. A very cool video, thank you. x

Thanks for your work! I do enjoy your vids! One thing I do appreciate seeing since it gives me a better understanding and appreciation of distances of. important locations, is to see an aerial view or map of these locations marked. With what was found or seen at that location. I’d REALLY appreciate it especially since many of these locations are unfamiliar to me and I’m terrible with distances. However, when I can see all the important locations marked on a map I can get a better understanding of how close or how far these locations were from one another. Thanks for reading! I always checking your vids since I really like how respectful you are to the ppl who are effected by these cases. Keep up your AMAZING WORK!!!

The content has improved immensely. He's really putting the work in these days. It's head and shoulders above the content he used to make. Well done

Freaking love this channel.

Top Mysteries: *Uploads* Viewer: *Curiously creeped Happiness noises*

Brilliant video once again. One of the very best channels on KZfaq.

Soooo happy to have a new Top Mysteries video to watch as I’m stuck in a Dr’s waiting room!! Glad your on the mend sir, I had a nasty cold over the holidays as well... SO, here’s wishing you and all the subs here a happy and HEALTHY 2020🙂

So glad to see you are back!! Missed your videos a lot!! Stay safe!❤️✝️

62 year old Dirvish? In that pic he certainly isnt. Thats strange he was reported missing 6 years after by a family member..when his belongings were found. Very odd. The family didnt recongmise he was missing? That makes me.suspicious of them. Im wondering if I heard that right?

Really great and interesting content, sir. These cases are so scary and sad for everyone involved. Thank you for reporting on the missing people and their loved ones who are still searching for them. It's devastating for all. God Bless.

You always ace these videos! Congrats!! Keep up the great hard work! 👍🏼👍🏼

Sharon could have fallen down through a MINE shaft? That’s the most true unexplained mystery!!! How the hell did people dig shafts in those conditions with nothing but handtools??? WOW!!!

If we apply some logic and Occam's razor, it's likely most of the victims got lost or sustained an injury immobilizing them, succumbed to the elements, then their bodies were consumed by scavengers, and the bones buried under snow and forest debris. A few might have been suicides.

You have an awesome channel and I love your documentaries. They are so fascinating.

Hey, Just want to tell you thx for all of your great work! You have a great voice, and your research is very honest and good! Somehow I stumbled into david paulides first book, have been studying the 411 cases for about 6-7 years now and find them fascinating! Love your channel mate! Greetings from Germany

If you look at an electromagnetic map of the earth 1 of the 3 largest EM anomalies is in southern Alaska. Right about where a ton of conspiracy theorists think another pyramid is located. Cue x files theme music.

Thomas was such a good outdoors man. The only thing I could come up with is he broke a leg and couldn't fend for himself. Sad really, he was incredibly talented.

Awesome. More please and thank you:)

Another great video...thanks Top Mysteries!♥️

"Things may have gone Awooree" Awry (Ah-Rye) 😛

Great vid! Thanks for making it :D

The production quality of your videos is always so well done.

Hello, just wanted to say that your channel is one of my favorites. I love tales of high strangeness and I particularly enjoy the amazing visuals of landscapes you present during your videos. Your content is very interesting, and I can tell you do a lot of research on it. Please continue to keep these amazing stories and videos coming, as I am a proud subscriber to you and I am happy to like all your videos.

5:42 Search and Rescue with the SR71? First of all, Wow!!! And second, the Blackbird flies too high and too fast to notice anything on the ground by eye, so it must have been collecting photographic evidence. Interesting case.

Never realized how many “ triangles” there are in the World before finding your channel! I believe you said 60,000 missing over the years in the Alaska Triangle!??! That’s just crazy.... as u know I ❤️❤️❤️ the Alaska topic but sorry to hear ( but not surprised-Alaska seems to keep many secrets!) how difficult it is to obtain info! I’d be curious to learn more about all these triangles... their locations, and what “ dots” we might connect...🧐 Thanks again for the great videos you bring us! Have a great weekend!

I was already missing your videos! Thank YOU!!!

Glad you are better now, excellent video; these Alaskan tales are always fascinating, the scenery alone is captivating. Thanks and look forward to your next - the disappearing planes are very intriguing so if you do one on this subject it would be great but hey I love them all!

One of the best channels on KZfaq, especially with the excellent visuals accompanying the narrative - keep up the good work TM!

Top Mysteries....One of my Top Favorite channels. 💕

I"m enjoying my binge on your videos!!

I live in Kyrgyzstan, and we have some of the tallest mountains in the world (7439 meters/24,406 ft). A lot of mountain lakes, also. People of all ages with no experience under their belts hike around the country all the time, yet we don't usually hear about any disappearances. My point is.. maybe, there's something else involved other than just the lack of experience...

When you have so many search parties with dogs, high-tech equipment, people & an incredible amount of time & you still find NOTHING, absolutely nothing, it's pretty shady & sinister. Someone or something doesn't want these people found.

Lots of content - I like these stories, though sad it has happened to people. I like to hike throughout Maine, so I can relate to people hiking. Precautions must be taken when going deep into the forests. Anyway, nice channel and good narration. Subscribed

Yes I would like to see or hear of some in air disappears. We enjoy your channel. Thank you for all your hard work.

My honest opinion: you always deliver the best work! Very well made, professional level is superb and research is on point. Thank you for your hard work and dedication⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Top mysteries. Gotta be my favourite channel on KZfaq or maybe. Dead rabbit radio.

Just once I'd like to see a shape other than triangles....perhaps the Montana Rhombus or Rhode Island Semicircle.

I might would watch these videos, even if I didn't find the content interesting...what a pleasant, soothing voice you have!

Stunning photography, almost 3D.

Thank you Top Mysteries, this was great 🤓!! I would love to see you post a video about missing aircraft btw, that would be awesome 👏🏼!! But only truly odd and unexplained stories. Not the ones that are so infamous that we’ve already heard them 1000 times 😖 Yawn city!! Lastly, the story about Earl and his dog “cruiser“ at the end was absolutely mind-boggling to me 🤷🏻‍♀️ I mean, they were all very odd, frustrating and confusing but that one struck me as really weird 😲 Where do all these folks go for (bleeps) sake??? Where 🤷🏻‍♀️🤔💭

Great video! Would love to hear more videos about Alaskan disappearances where people suspect the disappeared did so on purpose

I've been digging aviation mysteries lately and I'd love to see you do a video on the subject!!!!

Well done and well researched.

I swear your voice sounds like a really good Text to Speech system

I wonder if some people disappear falling into a crevasse?? It's so weird that dogs never seem to pick up a scent. These are so sad.

This is the second of your videos I've watched now. Your robotic voice is starting to grow on me and I've even subscribed!😁

Keep up the good work man!

1) ASSASSINATION. Happens more than you think 2) Poor Tom, He got hurt somehow. RIP KIND SOUL

Hi could you please cover some More aerial disapearances. Kind regards Paul Rawcliffe from Perth western Australia

Thank you for your fantastic channel and fantastic content xx

Glad i found your channel dude already subbed to mr paulides, Mr ballen etc very interesting subject indeed new sub last night

There is a lot we do not know. But for many of these cases my experience hiking alone in remote areas around the world leads me to think they just got eaten and/or fell into a hole somewhere. I know - no evidence for animal predation, extensive searching - but nevertheless, there are lots of opportunities to vanish without a trace when you are back there in these vast areas. I have spent a goodly amount of time in Barrow, Denali, Chugach, Kenai, and elsewhere. Vanishing into thin air seems unremarkable. But i love your videos - keep it up!

The plane imo had it's 'transponder' removed prior to take off.

Kudos for your research.Love your videos, well done.

Thank you for the great uploads!!
