Missing 411: IMPOSSIBLE Disappearances in National Parks

► Missing 411: IMPOSSIBLE Disappearances in National Parks

► David Paulides was once a law enforcement officer who became an investigative author with his work on the Missing 411, a collection of books and documentaries covering a range of baffling disappearances within National Parks and other wilderness areas. The Missing 411 can be traced back to a chance encounter with an off-duty park ranger who confided in David about some of the peculiar missing person cases that he was aware of in his park. Some of the cases you can find within the Missing 411 really do seem like impossible disappearances at times, especially many of them from National Parks around the world.

Hey all, just mentioning again for those that don’t know, I’ve changed the channel name!

Secondly, I’m still experimenting with subtitles and good lord they are very time consuming to do! It seems like a 50/50 split on channels that bake them in whether they put them at the top or bottom, but I have taken on board some feedback and it seems most want them to remain at the top.

Be safe all, have a great weekend.

Whistling carries much further than shouting, and it's easier to ascertain the direction a whistle came from - many survival kits will contain whistles for exactly this reason.

[cauldhound]

They described a "whistling sound", not specifically of a person whistling. Many people carry whistles on the, when hiking in case they get lost, the sound is sharper and clearer than a person shouting and will not only go further, but is easier to track back to the source. So any whistling sound is taken seriously.

Regarding Hidegard's disappearance: the older style LL Bean coats have zippers which can be used as a whistle! The company designed these zippers as a safety feature function for folks who unintentionally got lost

Love the art work that bring your stories to life, excellent

[consistentlystupid]

About the whistling heard during Hildegard's search. It's not uncommon for hikers to carry whistles on them. If you're injured and/or dehydrated shouting will become almost impossible, but a whistle is very easy to still use. It makes me so sad that she might have been out there blowing a whistle hoping that someone would hear it.

Don't tell a stranger you meet in the woods that you're by yourself.

I been watching YouTube channel “Bedtime Stories” for many years;
glad to see another like it. More please.

My mom had a way of whistling that could be heard nearly a mile away.
It came in handy when it was supper time as a kid 😬

[seandelap]

The only conclusion i can come to about why these people are found in an area that was already searched is because either they were put there by someone else or they were elsewhere originally and then wandered into that area

[hamishford]

NB, Please note that in cold conditions dogs find it up to 50% easier to track any sent compared to warm/hot conditions. This is due to the sent remaining low to the ground.

Perfect timing and those images are so beautiful

i have 2 main theorys for the first story:
theory #1 (most likely): he fell on something sharp like a log and impaled his left shoulder, and took his sweater off to stop the bleeding, and died due to blood loss as he probably stumbled over before falling, gripping his chest as his heart grew weaker. and for the search party, they probably just didn't look hard enough, as the conditions were harsh and it was hard to scan the entire area.

theory #2: his friends shot him and made it look like an accident, as the impalement could be a gunshot wound, and the sweatshirt could've been planted there to make it look like an accident, and as for the search party, they probably led them away from the crime scene.

Great stories and animation! Exciting, frightening, and eerie at the same time. I found myself wanting the stories not to conclude. Love it .

[lucidmind]

One thing that stands out in a lot of the Missing 411 cases to me is the fact that right after the individual goes missing and the search teams are organized, bad weather always randomly pops up to delay the search efforts… exactly why I would never go to any National Parks/Forest. Also the fact that people that are actually found alive later on say that the Forest goes completely silent before the missing time happens

[carolyns]

I would just like to state my appreciation of your honesty when it comes to missing and/or conflicting and/or potentially speculative information. Many channels simply go with what makes the cleanest narrative without acknowledging that life is messy and sometimes recollections or written records just don't gel with each other. Admitting that you are unsure about these things shows that you have actually done your own research, so kudos for that.

Missing Void, thank you for another interesting video. The Missing 411 are so bizarre. It's sad when the missing person(s) are never found. ☹️

[LindysEpiphany]

The Missing411 enigma intrigues me to no end. The answer to these stories will not be conventional but abstract. So the mind needs to wander into uncharted territory to look for the answers.
Portals are the uncharted territory I have decided could be at play with these Missing411 cases.
I believe that on occasion there is a "thinning of the veil" between dimensions for lack of a better term. When this happens a unwitting person can stumble thru and become stuck. Maybe if they pass away on the other side they pop back here and are found deceased where searchers looked many times. This would also explain why dogs completely lose a scent, as if the lost just dissappeared, well thats because they did.
This would explain the times that children wandered miles in the mountains overnight (different terrain and different distances on the other side) or when rescuers hear someone calling for help but can never find them. The voice eventually getting weaker and fades away. Those who survive saying they had encounters with strange people that wouldn't acknowledge them, or they don't have a clear concept of the amount of time that they were lost. I know if I was lost I would count everyday, especially nights, and they would be seared into my brain!
I have yet to understand why shoes are found more than not, unless they just don't go thru portals.
I'm sure I'll hear about how ridiculous portal theory is, but in my opinion this explanation answers more questions than anything else I've heard so far.

[crilmerholmes]

Awesome as always. Love the new name change. Thanks for your hard work.

[Yourmother-ry]

Love this channel so much it's unreal

[patriciajrs]

Yeah, what is with the missing shoes?
The Watervale Runner completely disappeared, and all that was left, that they found, was her boots with the socks still in them, as if the feet were still there. That was in Austrailia.
I like the new name of your channel. Always like the stories. Thanks.
