1 Hour of Unexplained Disappearances in National Parks

► The disappearances in this video have been covered over the previous year. This is a look at some of the cases that we have reported on in national parks. There should be a new video next week but I didn't have time to finish it before leaving to the Lake District.

1 Hour of Unexplained Disappearances in National Parks

National Parks:"hold my beer"...

I was once a part of a surveying team for a reforestation program, on our way home we grouped in 2, my team which compose of 3 individuals and my boss composed of 4 individuals, we were following them through the jungle but we could not keep up the sound of their voices are slowly fading away until we could no longer hear them. I was only 23 at that time and my 2 companions are 18 years old, they went with us as part of their school requirement, so basically I am responsible for them. I told them that we were lost, one of the student was becoming frantic so I calmed him down, I was also scared but I have to stay calm. I told them to gather woods and set a fire. I told them that we will stay they until they come back. I told them to stay calm and don't mind the noise the forest make. So we stayed there bring out the food we have, cook and eat. At exactly 1am they found us. So if ever you got lost with a group inside the forest, stay on the track build a fire and don't try to find your way home, for sure they will find you. The forest create many illusion and noises that will make you afraid and make bad decisions, I have been in the forest many times and experienced a lot of crazy things but I just don't let them affect me.

The parents told their 6 year old to meet them on the way back to the beach!! Leaving your six year old to bring up the rear is really close to neglect!!
That makes no sense!!!

I camped alone in Sand Dunes National park, Colorado, hiked about 2 hours into the sand dunes, and there was no one else camping near me for miles in the area I was in. I could have been the only person camping out there, at least as far as I could see. While I was trying to sleep in my tent I consistently heard slow foot steps outside my tent at around 1 or 2am while I was trying to sleep. This freaked me out, I was completely still from disbelief. I kept telling myself It was just the wind and that I was hearing things, but I kept hearing it. I was gripping my knife while in my sleeping bag and eventually came out of the tent with my flashlight to check the surrounding area. I didn't see anything as far as my flashlight let me, and I saw no footprints of any kind. But, the wind was blowing sand around harshly. After getting out of my tent I immediately packed up and began to walk back to my car and sleep in it. Scary night, but walking back to the car through the sand dunes at night with the night blue sky illuminating the sand which made it a blue color, was beautiful.

The one about Rainier Nation Park brings back memories of when my brother-in-law disappeared and never was found. He had gone out with two friends, all three of them experienced mountaineers, to summit Mt Rainier. As is common for that mountain, a freak wind storm with very cold temperatures overcame them. Robbie became hypothermic and delirious, and in a very bad judgement call, both companions left him with supplies and took off down the mountain to get help. When they returned he was nowhere to be found. He had been left just above a rock slide and they surmise that in his delirium he tried to go down the slide and probably buried under tons of rocks. We'll never know. Folks, this is a sad plea to NEVER leave someone alone who is in such bad shape. Had one of his companions stayed with him, Robbie would not have died that day. The only consolation is that he died doing what he loved the most, in a place he loved the most.

I think a snow bridge is not a bridge with snow on it. Its a crevasse where snow has formed in such a way that a snow bridge forms that one can use to cross the crevasse. Obviously, snow bridges are dangerous for that reason.

[ThunderboltWisdom]

The snow bridge collapsing in the last story...it's because the bridge was made of snow. A snow-bridge is not a normal bridge covered in snow but an arch of snow and ice which joins two opposite sides of a crevasse or river/stream etc. I imagine that these snow-bridges appear and collapse all the time, so it's no surprise to hear of it here.

I was wondering if you can do 411 missing but in the ocean? There’s just as bad as on land, it’s very interesting. I recommend the Mary Celeste and Kaz II crew all missing but their personal belongings on the ship were normal and no struggle at all. There’s plenty of other cases like it.

So my cousin Luke went missing in Yellow Stone years ago when I was a little kid. He was young teen and it was during a boys scout trip. They were rolling sticks into the river and eventually progressed into logs. One cot him behind the legs and sent him in. They tried to help him but couldn't. They found a shoe but never found him. The hunt for him made national news. Luckily I was young enough I didn't really understand what was going on.

Great video. Thanks for sharing!
Being from Germany, you inspired me to do some research about the 3 Müritz area cases you've mentioned. Unfortunately I wasn't able to come up with anything new. In all three cases, the press coverage runs dry at a very early point. In fact, I was surprised that no major news outlet at least picked up the Gottfried Teucher disappearance. And as you said, they never even mentioned the name of the gentleman who was later found in the gravel pit. Sorry, I couldn't help you out here.
However, what struck me during my search, was the huge number of missing person cases in the state of Mecklenburg Western Pomerania during that time. 2.599 in 2016, and even 3.192 in 2017. As a reference: In North Rhine Westphalia, which has 10 times the population (17.9 million vs. 1.6 million), it's been about 1.900 cases in 2016 and 2.500 in 2017. In deed, Mecklenburg Western Pomerania has a lot of untouched nature, national parks, huge forest areas and all kinds of bodies of water. Quite dangerous terrain, as it seems.

Awesome! I needed something to watch while I take a break. Take care Adam!

[argonaught]

I spend a lot of time in the mountains of Montana, California, Idaho and deserts of Arizona, alone. I have had some strange experiences, one was particularly unexplainable. I hope Adam isn't telling a story about me one day. Am presently gearing up for a very remote area in the desert this coming month. Wish I hadn't started watching this stuff!

I used to live on Vancouver Island in Victoria. I know exactly where that girl went when she went missing. I was just reading the news on my phone and I came across that article it really blew me away because usually I'm reading about that stuff with you and what you write and just by chance I find this article about this woman going missing while hiking in the back country. If you want to do something with this I would gladly send you everything. Thank you very much Greg in Vancouver Canada

In 1980, in the winter. two young men went in to Yellowstone Park to (illegally) hunt elk horns. I'm not sure that was ever publicized. Both were experienced horn hunters. One man, August Page, got back late that night, the other man was not with him. Page did not report his hunting companion missing until the next morning. I cannot think of the missing man's name. He walked with both feet pointing outward, walking like Charlie Chaplin. It didn't slow him down, or affect his mobility. Both lived in a kind of rooming house owned by Tom and Msrtha Adkins, in Gardiner, Montana. SAR, and Forest Service searchers quickly found his easy to identify footprints in the snow, part of the time walking alonv a mostly frozen stream. They found items of clothing, hat, glove, and I think a scarf. Someone said they had seen him in Livingston, some 50 miles north, and the search was called off. People in town (population was around 200 then) identified who had taken him to Livingston, and determined that it was a few days before the horn hunting expedition, the witness had just mixed up the date. August Page left town a few days later. As far as I know, the missing hiking companion has never been found.

hello, from Malaysia. when I heard of Yi Jien Hwa's disappearance in 2008(i am born that year and currently 14), what could be safe to say is that I feel bad for him. It's kinda sad that people who lived a good life suddenly vanished like magic dust. like that missing Malaysian Airlines flight, me and my friends still discuss disappearances of Malaysian to this day

[sabrinajohnson]

I've watched enough of MRballen missing 411 to know now that the missing is almost never where they thought they would be or professional suggest they always way way far off and usually covered some impossible distance they need to start looking upwards

Was hoping you could find additional details regarding any of the kids who disappear, but are later found with strange stories as they attempt to explain what happened to them. Haven't any of these kids grown up and been asked about what happened to them? Like the one where the child says he was taken to a cave with robots, and one he thought was his grandmother. Also the one from the 1800s, in Michigan, where a little girl says she was taken my 'Mr. Wolf, who she said ate her hat, but gave her berries to eat and kept her warm at night..Just moments before finding her, the searchers witnessed a huge black creature leap across a river and run away, and this is the "Mr. Wolf' the little girl was talking about. There has to be more to these stories.

I would like to hear from the search and rescue teams-do they get creepy vibes when these strange disappearances occur…do they follow Dave paulides?
