I discovered an evil place that was marked with an 'M' and the burgers made me feel weird to my stomach.

I love how you always express consolation for the loved ones of people featured in your videos. Good on you.

It's so cold in the desert in winter, that you can die from exposure very quickly. Most people make the mistake of thinking the Mojave is always warm. I am so sorry for this man , and his family.

"Many who go trekking across the Mojave never return alive" You got that right, too many damn Cazadores

I like that he puts subtitles in his videos.. 👍

As someone who regularly hikes, even in some familiar places there are things you always take with you! 1) Navigation equipment 2) At least one other person 3) Enough provisions for at least one extra day 4) A weapon 5) Emergency equipment and communications 😞 Depression is a hellava monster. Far worse than any supernatural beast. Rest well Kenny.

I'm glad you mentioned infrasound. There are instances where it is generated naturally causing fear and sometimes hallucinations.

It is ironic that he believed navigational aids are for amateurs. As an experienced hiker (though not a professional, i.e., I don’t get paid to do it) I can tell you they are not. In fact, failing to use a map and compass or a GPS device is an amateur's mistake, and a very foolish one. It's like saying bike helmets are for amateurs. It doesn't matter how expert you are, you are still at risk. If you don't appreciate that, it indicates just how little you know about what your doing. Add to that the fact he would intentionally not take enough food or water as a personal challenge, and it no mystery that anyone who repeatedly plays Russian roulette ends up missing and presumed dead.

I think his girlfriend was right, sounds like he had issues and the fact that suicide clearly ran in his family and he always explored with no directional tools makes it seem like he wanted to get lost and never found.

He was abducted by the most cruel of invaders, Depression.

@Bedtime_Stories Infrasound can even make people vomit, experience severe depression or have aweful headaches. They don't even have to be purposefully made. There was an elevator at Brown University called "The Elevator to Hell" famous for causing vomiting and migranes in people who rode it. The cause was a bent ventilation fan blade. It was THAT SIMPLE. When they replaced the fan blade the infamous elevator no longer sickened people who were riding on it.

Can I just say how respectfully I think you presented this case? So many mysteries forget that there is a human element to these kind if stories, and this is such a sad story. My heart goes out to his loved ones. Kenny, wherever you are - in this world or the next - I hope you found peace. X

I live in the south west of the U.S people walk into the desert over confident and they vanish. Search parties look for them for weeks and come up empty.

The illustrations and video style is great, and I love how you have added captions in a way that's just part of the video, not distracting or intrusive at all, but immensely helpful for anyone who has trouble hearing and likes to read along. Good narration too. Really draws you into the story (which is portrayed pretty accurately and in an enthralling and clear way too). I like this channel!

He must have been a very very sad person. Very few people know what this poor man must have felt dealing with his failures with a business and finances. RIP.

The fact that you actually take time to give your thoughts and prayers to the people involved in your stories truly gives the listener an emotional connection that you just don't get with other videos like these. Keep up the good work bedtime stories! Love the channel.

11:49 Deep Underground Military Base also known as DUMB. Lol, whoever coined this acronym is master class troll.

Conspiracy Theory: Bedtime Stories secretly plays infrasounds in their videos to make us feel even more uneasy and scared

Patrolling the Mojhave almost makes you wish for a nuclear winter

Stumbled onto one of your videos and i didn't stop...ALL DAY..driving and at work i listened..you captured me and im here to stay. Wow..love your voice, narration, care, empathy and detailed talk points.. Now a fav channel. Dont stop..so much unexplained in the world..great to hear it talked about in detail.

What a kind, respectful way of telling his story. Kudos.👍

I really admire how you guys offer up different theories, and counteract them with plausible real life resolutions to all of these stories. So many channels seem to muck up details so that stories like this seem more mysterious or otherworldly than they actually are.

Very sad , poor guy ! Depression is no joke especially when you're struggling to just live! Many fall victim to depression after being diagnosed with a chronic illness or injuries which just never heal, medications lead to more problems which require more meds , you lose your job your social life even your family begin to slip from your grasp providing you even had any , you lose the ability to provide for yourself let alone anyone else. This can happen to anyone at anytime. Some are just born battling depression , it's hereditary, sometimes a parent or sibling has taken there life leaving you forever hurt. I've seen what it can do .. God bless & best wishes

Thank you , Narrator, For putting such a well edited and produced video, that, in fact, help me to understand his state of mind when going out to hike leading up to his final hike in November. I loved the way you produced sketches of the personality of the man we all saw in the first video he made of the M cave. The follow up research by Sean and Chris, even left me more intrigued. I haven't yet watched any of the sequential videos uploaded about that incident. But you have surely shined a searchlight on this case. Well done...Frank T. (California)

Thank you for covering this story. No matter what the outcome of his disappearance was, it can truly be said he kept his word, that he would never be found. Truly incredible. His memory is in my thoughts

Kenny: "Maps and compasses are for amateurs." Nature: "Do you feel lucky?"

I think that the fact that he left his video camera at home implies that he took his own life

I love that these videos end on such a respectful note toward the missing and the grieving families.

If he did commit suicide off in the wilderness, I respect that decision. There's something to be said for recognizing the absolute shock and sorrow that comes from finding a dead loved one. May he rest peacefully, surrounded by the wilderness he loved.

Thank you for treating each of these cases with such dignity & respect. All too often, channels use graphic details, photos, etc for shock value alone. How refreshing, then, to find one who who goes out of his way to keep such details out, sparing loved ones any further pain. Wish more folks were as compassionate!! ♥️

I always appreciated how you treat each and every cases in such a respectful manner. Keep up the great work! :)

As someone who is living with bipolar disorder i can relate with most plausable theory, and that is that he commided a suicide. I am having suicidal thoughts, sometimes for weeks on daily basis and it is really hard fighting them off. I've also having the idea of just taking my things and disappearing, not because i thought i want to harm my beloved ones, but because of despair and the idea of me helping them out by removing myself as the burden from their lives. I tried to kill myself. My friends reacted and saved my life. 3 months later, I saved someones else life by giving CPR in the middle of the street. I reached out for help. I have been diagnosed 2 years ago and my life transformed completely after the treatment started. There is help. There is always someone who cares about you and if you are struggling, do not lose hope, reach out. Somebody loves you and needs you.

YOU got my sub at the lighthouse mystery, but i like the fact that your stories span the globe,,,,I LOVE YOU VOICE, YOU ADD AN AMBIANCE THAT OTHER CHANNELS JUST DONT HAVE......KEEP UP THE SCARY WORK!

His former girlfriend Sheryon Pilgrim had saying, that Kenny had depression. She had also saying that Kenny had possible make suicide, because he had not taken his video camera to his last hike. It is possible that in the M-Cave was his wish to die. Who knows!

I really like the way you give messages of comfort and encouragement at the very end.

1:42 48 000 square miles. ENGLAND is only 50 000 !! So the desert is the same area as England. That is crazy!!

Great works! Your vlogs reminded me of the Late 70's TV show "In Seach Of...", with Leonard Nimoy. I can just hear his voice narrating this.

I just wanna say how refreshing it is to watch your videos. You have genuine compassion for the tragedies. I love how factual it is and how you explore all avenues of what could have happened. Keep up the good work!!

From his girlfriend's comment it seems very likely that he committed suicide. So maybe somehow he wanted to communicate his deathwish without directly alarming anyone. The M-shaped cave might symbolize death/the afterlife. In his comment he said he ventured into every cave on his dangerous hikes and played with rattlesnakes. I think he intentionally put himself into danger, because he didn't cling to his life. Like "when I get back home alive then this is how it should be (for the moment)." His posts reads to me like "I've been everywhere I wanted to, seen everything there was for me to see. There's just one more place I have yet to visit". It struck me, that he wrote he couldn't enter, because he only had a knife with him. Next time he will bring his pistol so that he can enter. He might have been on a hike that time without having the Intention to commit suicide. Then he discovered a cave and immediately thought "This is it! That's the place I want to die in". But then he only had a knife and pondered killing himself with it. This would be painful and he might just slowly bleed to death and he got afraid. Or he didn't feel determined enough in the first place and though a fearless guy he still feared death - as the feelings he described suggest. He decided to come back with his gun and more determination. When he wrote "I didn't find it this time", I think it's not about the place, it's about his determination.

My new favorite channel! Thank you so much!

Okay, I was born and raised near where this happened so I'm going to be the Lemy Kilmister here and tell you DO NOT GO INTO ABANDONED MINES OR CAVES.

I absolutely love this channel. You talk about weird, sad, sometimes horrible stories in the most elegant and respectful fashion. The illustrations, captions and soundtrack are great, too. I agree with all the comments stating the moving nature of your final thoughts. Thanks and congratulations

The phone being left behind, makes me think the government knows phones could get tracked, and knew they would get caught resulting the phone being tracked by the family’s lawyer, private investigator,etc.. He spoke about a privately run government secret entrance, and that was not suppose to happen.

It was lemmys throne room. The m was for Motörhead

It's pretty obvious this poor guy killed himself out there.

The laboratory near Dulce, NM hasn’t been in use for years and now sits mostly abandoned. It was never used for human experimentation, it was used for satellite research.

Sheryon Pilgrim 3 years ago I am the girlfriend that Kenny spoke of in the video. There are so many posts. I had no idea until a friend let me know. So many people are wondering what happened and guessing different things. You are heart felt about the sadness around what has happened with Kenny. He has not been found and I feel that he probably will not be found for many, many months, if ever. I want to share what I know and feel about what happened, so that you might bring some closure and understanding in your own lives. Kenny absolutely loved hiking in the desert. It was his very, very favorite thing to do. We hiked and camped together all over the Nevada desert.... sometimes 9 hours in a day. We found many abandoned mining towns, usually referred to as "ghost towns" by Nevada hikers. We explored many caves and mine shafts. We were always careful how we explored them, but Kenny was a bit more daring than I was. We wore snake guards, sun protected clothing, used walking sticks, brought enough water and food for the hiking hours and had extra water/food in the car. (He rarely drank all his water.) We took wonderful pictures of all sorts of things we saw... rusted cars, old falling down buildings, cemeteries, mines, wild animals, tarantulas, scorpions, trees, cactus and flowers. Our deserts are beautiful, if you have a love for deserts. They are not "spooky" scary but you do have to be careful of the terrain and of course bring enough water and food. We always were excited when we saw desert wild life, like the big horn sheep in the video. They are stunningly beautiful to see in person in our desert. We would stand quietly still to watch them as long as possible. I was so very excited to see the one he filmed in his video. I want you to know that I do not think Kenny had an accident. I believe he committed suicide. He battled depression for many years and would not take medication or see a doctor. He quit his job a little more than a year before he disappeared. He wanted to see if he could sell his inventions and do what he called "Cowboy Interior Design" for homes. He bought his first home five years ago and had an amazing ability of decorating in this style. He was not successful in getting a business going and was running out of money after a year of not working. He no longer wanted to work in a "job" for someone else and as his money decreased he became more and more depressed. He really did not look for another job. In early Oct, with seeing his depression increase, I said to him, "You aren't going to pull a Robin Williams on me are you"? This is when he opened up more about his depression and his thoughts much of his life about suicide. His father committed suicide when Kenny was in his early 20's. When I asked him the question he answered me with "If I decide to do it, you will be OK because you are good at the Law of Allowing." He asked me what I would think of him if he did it. He also said if he decided to do it "No one will ever find me." It would be easy to do something like this in our desert with the number of natural caves and mines. He could hike many miles in a day so there is no telling where or how far he could have hiked during his 3 day 2 night solo hike. When he did not call me after the 3rd day of being gone I called missing persons. The search for him was started within a couple days of my call. Over 30 search and rescue team members searched 3 different times on foot. One helicopter fly over was done and there was no trace of Kenny or any of his camping things. They found his car in the area I told them it would be. They did find his cell phone by the mine shaft in the video. The mine shaft was only about a 4 hour hike from his car. It is my feeling he left it behind so that he could not be tracked form the GPS in it. He also did not take his video camera with him on this solo hike. It was left in his home. So, he had no intention of filming anything. I share this with you for two reasons. First, so that you have more of an understanding who Kenny was and to bring some peace or understanding to the situation. Secondly, if any of you do decide to go out into our desert to look for him or the M Cave, be careful and bring enough water and food. Walking sticks are a good idea and not doing a solo hike. Bring a GPS and make sure that you have let family or friends know that you are heading out for the hike and where and when you will be returning. A search really can't be on a one day hike. You would be repeating much of the same hike....just getting up the mountain and then be left with not many hours in the day to do the search. You would need 2 or 3 days at a time and in the summer, or even late spring, this can not be done because of the heat of our desert. You would not be able to carry enough water. So, please, please be careful. I had many wonderful experience with Kenny and will always remember them and have a place of love in my heart for him and the wonderful things we did together. I am healing from my loss and look forward to new experiences with desert hiking, camping and taking beautiful pictures of our desert. Enjoy your adventures of life and thank you for the kind loving comments sent my way. Much Love, Sheryon :)

I work out in the Mojave desert, and I could tell you for a fact that the summers and winters out there are punishing.

You tube recently recommended your channel to me, it's really great! I love your narration style and the artwork. All the memories of the X-files' original run came flashing back :)

I really like how respectful you were to his case. Thank you for the wonderful content you really put a lot of effort into your work and I appreciate it

INFRASOUND: Would explain the feeling of vibration and the feeling of anxiety Kenny expressed when approaching the M Cave, and could be easily present within a deep reaching cave. But honestly from what I know about the case it`s very likely Kenny committed suicide and basically played a prank on everyone at the same time. I suspect the mine where his phone was found is his final resting place, and he simply went in further then the cameras checked. Edit: Should have listened literally 3 seconds further, good thing you mentioned Infrasound. Personally, I think it`s responsible for more alleged phenomena then people are aware of.

I appreciate your channel immensely. The writing,narration subject matter and artwork are all exemplary.

Have you heard of the disappearance of Dennis Martin, a young boy who went camping with family but went missing after playing hide and seek? The crazy part about this disappearance is that other campers claimed to have seen a Bigfoot-like creature leaving the area with supposedly someone or something slumped over it's shoulder.

I'm a SAR volunteer. While Kenny Veach seems like he was good person, he made some very stupid choices which cost him his life. Hiking in such an unforgiving area without any navigational tools is a death wish plain and simple. People underestimate this, and often end up hurt or dead. The environment can be too hostile to even search properly. An excellent case in point was the Germany family who died in Death Valley a few years ago. They took a wrong turn, got stranded after getting stuck, and died. They were found years later only because of a very dedicated individual, and in the article he wrote he frequently discussed how even with the full support of of advanced equipment and helicopter drops it was too risky for him to search for very long. The thing to take away from Kenny's disappearance is respect these places, or it will cost you your life.

Fantastic artworks & the narration is 2nd to none. No melodramatics or excitement. Just told matter in the of factor fact way of how it is/was. I love all these videos

I watched your vids while using a 5.1 speaker system. The whispers early on scared the crap out of me.

I hope his girlfriend, friends, & family find peace in the fact that he is no longer in pain.

You are so thoughtful and kind at the end of the video saying that to the family. I’m sure if they see the video they would happy to hear u say that.

The illustrations on this video is impeccable, & Narrating is quality! Brilliant video.

"Lemi Killmister?" Yeah, that's not creepy or anything.

RIP Kenny, I’m sorry the depression was so heavy and hope you’re at ease now. You sure seemed like a beautiful person. I don’t think there’s a mystery here, definitely just a suicide.

I think Kennys disappearance is less about the cave, but more about plausible explanations. Having worked in the desert I can tell you it is a harsh place which charges a high price to those even slightly unprepared. If in fact Kennys mind was not focussed for survival and preparedness and instead his thought process was elsewhere as stated by his girlfriend then the result is evident. Sometimes we as thinking analytic beings go for the most complicated when in fact the cause is often the obvious and the answer is right in front of us. We know Kenny travelled with minimal supplies in order to challenge himself against the chosen environment. This is has been documented even by Kenny himself on his channel. Mother Nature should not be challenged as she demands a high price for failure. Secondly there has been an underlying elephant in the room as shown by at least 2 YT channels surrounding Kennys financial liquidity leading to him wanting to disappear. This too is a plausible reason and lets be honest it has happened before and is a reason for someone wanting to start over. Though I must admit, I know many people who find the going tough financially but who choose to work through it and remain with their families. One commenter on Kennys channel told him to not pursue the M cave and this comment and mention of in my opinion has only thrown us off the obvious scent and causation. Instead I think the comment was an off the cuff remark made by someone whom having witnessed Kennys upload became concerned and warned him off. Simply put the commenter responded to the situation because of the interpretation as presented by Kenny himself. Every-time in Kennys case I return to a memory of working in the desert and it being 52c in the shade knowing that this heat without a supply of water would be like hell itself. A hell I would want find a way out of no matter what, especially knowing I had not cool life giving water but instead, a loaded hand gun.

Oh my god, those tall whites are well rendered! Your artist is good at his job. Love the video.

New subscriber here. Thank you. So impressed with the content and production of these videos; the thoughtful, measured, articulate scripts, presentation and analysis; and the sensitivity to the families where people have vanished or died. Looking forward to catching up on your backlog.

The question that comes to my mind is what , if anything, was on his phone that was found near the mouth of that mine?

Top quality video...yet again sir. I see this channel exploding with subscribers in time. Keep up the good work.

Brilliant video. Thanks so much for posting.

I hope the man is ok. And search more for that M cave.

This does sound like he finally suceeded at taking his life. The first few hikes were probably to find a place to do it. Poor guy.

I was stationed at Nellis for a few months. The base itself gave me some bad vibes. I was night crew working the airwing and at times we weren't allowed on the flight deck due to clearance. A real ominous place in my opinion.

A. He was in the desert. B. He liked to "test himself" to see how far he could go without drinking water. C. He liked going into caves. D. He was near a highly protected military base. E. He went alone. And his disappearance is a "mystery". It IS a terrible tragedy. It is NOT a mystery.

If lemmy kilmister tells you not to do something, you damn well do what he says

I actually remember this guy. Or at least I remember watching a video or two of him talking about this very cave.

I’m from Lancaster CA, hearing the name in this episode was a treat! Just want to say I love this channel. I made a playlist of all your episodes on Spotify and I fall asleep to it every night with heavy rain sounds on, it really helps calm my mind and drift off. Thank you.

Whoo! I live in Lancaster! It's always a pleasant surprise to hear your hometown mentioned on a popular KZfaq channel.

Lemmy Kilmister was the bassist and vocalist from the band Motorhead

Its crazy cause I remember watching his videos while he was still active and reading the threads on /x/ when this all went down.

You know what keeps me up at night? A damned jackrabbit. In a video from the Exploring Abandoned Mines channel the narrator shines his flashlight on a Jackrabbit that must have fallen down a stope. The rabbit was alive and seemingly uninjured. But with no way out it was condemned to a slow death in that mine. I could't help but imagine 'what if a person found themselves facing that fate'? Just you and the darkness until you finally die. I sure hope that didn't happen to poor Kenny. Not one of the best ways to go.

Fantastic quality content as usual. Keep up the fantastic work!!!!

God...this story, was so eerie at first, but then after the realisation he actually might have took his life hits hard..lots of his thoughts described at the end ive been feeling, I really feel for this man and his girlfriend..

I really feel for his family and girlfriend :(

I absolutely love the crude illustrations compared to the much higher fidelity drawings of the more recent episodes. It makes everything look much creepier.

One of the things I love about this channel is towards the end they start to give rational, fact based resolutions that may of transpired. I love it guys

It's extremely hard to believe that an experienced hiker like Kenny somehow forgot the location of the "M cave", especially after what he said he experienced there.

Sci-fi channel should hire you and keep this style of presentation. This is great.

You have such a gift at story telling thanks for sharing !

You sir are a very good narrator and researcher. After viewing several of your vids I have recommended you to my friends. Keep up the good work!

Someone could have seen him on the internet, and killed him for his gun and any other belongings, but left the smart phone so that there'd be no GPS tracking.

This is not the only story of an "M" cave with strange vibrations. I've heard other stories like this. Apparently they are extremely uncommon and tend to "move" around. Probably best to just never go in one.

IDK I watched his last video with that M Cave. He didn’t come across as depressed to me . When he saw the cave , he seemed curious, but as he got closer you could tell he was getting a bit anxious

I came across the situation on a KZfaq short, Kenny probably stumbled across a DUMB (deep underground military base) and kenny did say that he got closer and he felt like he was buzzing so it probably had some type of subsonic defence, Kenny was also suicidal, and he said if he were to go through with his thoughts he said that he’d go far into the wilderness where no one would find him… interesting case

I must say I like your videos but, in this particular case, the only mystery is where his body is. I have no doubt from what I learned from this that Kenny took his own life and obviously chose a location that would be very difficult to search. Suicide is always tragic but I feel it's the obvious explanation here.

Kenny simply forgot his KZfaq login information and created a new account. Mystery solved 🤜🏼🤛🏼

I like the fact you don't use the F-word every few minutes, as some other video narrators of the same type of stories. You have a pleasant voice and I agree with TheSparkWriter that "...you don't jump onto any bandwagon; you give the different opinion/theories and that's all." Very good job!

The suicide hypothesis makes the most sense. I have had a personal experience very similar and it is heartbreaking for friends and family.

Annnd I'm never going hiking alone again....

"Oh my god! They killed Kenny!" "You bastards!"

It sort of reminds me of what I heard about Doug Kenney who was an editor and founder of National Lampoon's Magazine and the screenwriter for Animal House and Caddy Shack. He died falling from a cliff in Hawaii, some quipped that Kenney was suffering from drug problems and other mental health issues accidentally fell looking for a place to jump. It's quite possible Veach did the same thing while hiking, he may have contemplated suicide but at the same time did things to make passing easier if he chose not to commit suicide.

I found out what happened to Kenny Veach via Akashic Records last night. I understand if you’d never believe me but I promise you this is the answer I was given. There are people that are referred to as “mole people” who live in caves. They are considered a “cryptid”. He found the entrance to one of their caves and that is why the cave entrance he saw looked like the letter “M”.

Wow good job I just subbed
