- Hi Guys - In 1946, 8yr old, Katherine Van Alst went missing from her family's camp site in Devil's Den State Park. In an unlikely twist, she was found alive 6 days later…but, get this, she was found 30+ miles away and 600ft higher in elevation than from the location she had gone missing. How did she survive??
Keep Hiking!

“It’s not bad …… it’s not very good either”. 😂😂😂😂 That gave me a giggle.
Made me laugh, too! 😂
Spot on! 😝 His face gave it away with the first sip! 🤣🐅
Poor dad was distraught to the point of exhaustion and yet no one bothered to let him know that his daughter was found.
I agree why didn't they find dad before it was in the paper! Weird!
Because the reporters were on scene and found out before him. Its not their job to find the father, its their kob to report on it. @@eunice5531
You're right, but communication wasn't the best back then
@@mofayer but it made it to the newspaper? Without notifying the parent?
There’s usually a reason why places named devil’s anything…,are so named. Should be a big caution.
There are so many places with names like that.
The Devil'S Den in Oklahoma was named that because in the old days outlaws hung out there.
The indigenous people named them? Or the European men? The creepy names of these locations give me chills and they’re many strange disappearances and occurrances related to these weirdly named areas.
Devils den is right up the road it’s a big tourist area , it’s right out of town , easy to get too, schools takes children there for field trips it’s, very public and to me would be hard to get lost unless you enter one of the caves. But my point it’s actually like a beginner park in most respects.
My thoughts exactly!
only 78 years ago she could still be alive ... would love to hear from her an adult and what her memory is of the time she was lost
Ya'ateeh' Chris. You're a great story teller, enjoy. From the Navajo Nation.
Hey, thanks!🌲☀️🌵
Sometimes I am tempted to wander into the wilderness in search of Chris, just so I can listen to him tell stories and sit around the campfire enjoying a beer. or a coffee, depending on the time of day.
I am out there...somewhere...always looking for coffee or beer...!🌲🦉👀
Chris vs bigfoot i got my money on Chris
I know yes!
It’s always 5 o’ clock somewhere 😉
Me too..
In recent years there have been stories of missing children found in the middle of thorn bushes. Claiming the bear took care of them and kept them warm.
A recent one a few years ago in New England. A young boy lost who said a bear took ca😊re of him.
You are probably refering to the strange case of Casey Hathaway, 3 years old boy, from Jan. 2019 on Eastern side of North Carolina. Missing for 2 days from his Grandmothers back yard. The nights were very cold, low 20s and rain and mist and just had normal cloths and a light jacket. Found surrounded 2 days later cried out not very far from home, from a place that had been searched numerous times, and was indeed deposited in thorn or bramble type bush that would have been difficult to walk into. An experienced searcher stated he could not figure out how the child survived and should have died from exposure. However Casey was in very good shaped and stated he was with and kept warm at night by a bear. When found, he only wanted to watch cartoons. His Mother and some others theorized this was an Angelic Bear. My thoughts went to a Female Bigfoot, whether she stole him for a couple of days, or he simply wandered off (this area is very forested) and she rescured him. Then his older cousin told me that his favorite cartoon was Masha and The Bear, which I looked up on youtube. This bear was far more animated and always walked and danced around, then Yogi Bear could ever wish for. At 3 years old, this would be a childs idea of what an actual bear would be. Of course now Casey is 8 and would know what a real bear was. I wish someone would interview him and place in front of him a picture of a bear on all fours and another of the Patterson Bigfoot.
Happened recently in NC three year old went missing for a few days when they found him in some vines briers he said a bear had taken care of him.
@@highlanderNC-mr8fe This was the Casey Hathaway case, 3 years old at that time. Jan. of 2019. Missing 2 days from Grandma's yard. Hundreds of searchers and found 2 days later not far from where he disappeared. The 2 nights missing were very cold, low 20s. Trained experience searchers were astounded about his very good condition when found in briars he would not have walked into, and were most surprised he did not die of exposure. Casey stated he was with a bear and it kept him warm at night. Then wanted to go inside and watch cartoons. Casey's older cousin told me his favorite cartoon was Masha and the Bear. I watched a youtube of this cartoon and The Bear was always walking and dancing and such like a human and much more animated than Yogi Bear. At 3 years old this would be his impression of a real bear. For me I believe he spent those 2 days with a Bigfoot and probably a female.
@@highlanderNC-mr8feno, the media said that he said a bear took care of him. Use your head
I’ve heard that in the case of missing children, searchers believe children are more likely to travel down rather than up. It’s believed it’s easier. It’s been my own experience while searching for my two year old who went missing near our home, that even as young as she was, they will go up. We lived near the dunes by a beach and we were moving into our new home. She suddenly disappeared and out we all went to search for her. My gut told me to go to the bushy area because that is what I’d have done. Even as a two year old it was clear that she was curious about the mysterious as I had always been. I had two path options, go on the flat path or go up the dunes into the forested area. My gut said up. I found her on the lookout. On her tiny legs she had walked up quite a steep incline. Always look up too.
Wow, what a survivor that little girl was! I wonder if she's still living. She would be 86 these days. Thanks for sharing this story, Chris 🙏
I think Death is afraid of her.
Seriously....that would be so interesting
Just what I was thinking.
I think she would be 77 years old.
She was 8 in 46 so she would be around 86 or 87 today
The Lord was surely looking out for this little girl. Thanks for another great story Chris.
Wow I am 65 and I would be terrified to be alone 7 days in the woods. Great story Chris.
That collapsible kettle is mint! We love it! Great story, Chris. There's a lot mystery why these parks use the word Devil. Cheers, Chris! 🍻
She found water to drink and berries to eat, what a resourceful little girl. Often state parks have visitor centers, nature talks, and plant walks. Perhaps she learned what berries to eat at the park before she got lost. Kids can be very observant, fast learners.
When i was a kid, pretty much all kids were taught, if you get lost, try to find a high vantage point, like the top of a hill, or even climb a tree to see if you can see a land mark you recognize , and following water downstream usually leads to civilization.
wtg Katherine! She kept her head and just kept to the task of being rescued. I'm not sure at 8 years if I could've done that!
Times have changed. When I was eight years old, I had to do a 12 mile round trip to a little store to pick up food for my family. My dad worked on the Great Lakes, and my mom didn't drive. So I made that trip a couple of times a week, filled up my bicycle basket, and got food for the family. That included signing for credit and then paying it. Yes, it sucked, but it needed to be done. It was terrible and wonderful all at the same time.
Devils Den is where Sgt Terry Lovelace and his friend had their UFO abduction experience, so it does seem that strange things go on there . Great story telling Chris, always look forward to your show every Sunday 😊👍
This is the first time I've ever heard of the place. It does sound like a strange and eerie area. I bet it's really pretty, though.
I've read his book, fascinating! I've also been to Devil's Den for a week with a group called Elder Hostel. We studied bats and went into many caves there. My relatives live not far from there and this area is really beautiful. But I would never go camping there. Strange things go on and I think it's related to the tragic Indian history and deaths.
I NEVER heard of that case. I need to look into it.
I had GRAY ALIENS in my house in 1997. I KNOW THEY ARE REAL. I wonder if it was GrAys That abducted them. Thank God they lived. 😢
Thank you for mentioning the Native American Removal act and the Trail of Tears. There were two parties, north and south in order to cross the Mississippi. Thusly, two Trails of Tears. Most don't know that.
With regards to coffee, have you tried "Toddy" coffee?
Awesome rock formation.
Amazing story!
Thank you for the fun videos.
Thank you! I’ll check out Toddy coffee. 🌲
When I was 45 years old I got lost in the Canadian wilderness and didn't handle it as well as this little girl did I panicked big time. Perhaps as adults we understand the consequences of what might happen if we don't find our way. I was lost for just a few hours, this brave little girl was lost for days. Kudus to this little girl! Great story!
In Canada the Wilderness is never far away. MANY people have been lost in the mountains overlooking Vancouver.
So scary. 😢
Great historical, background and inspirational story. If she was eight in 1946, that means that she would have been born in 1937 or 1938. This said, she was a child during the Great Depression and World War 2 when people had to be very resourceful and resilient just to live, and was quite possibly, among the reasons for her survival!
She was probably a little more accustomed to hardship than the kids of today.
@@justmenotyou3151 I completely agree! Thank you for your kind response.
I like Chris' dramatic pose on the thumbnail! An Oscar!
Oh my gosh, get a load of that kettle 🤩
Interesting scenery. Watching here in Britain 🇬🇧 Love these stories when they appear here on Sunday evening.
Here Sun too🇨🇦😊😊
My sister got lost on one of our family camping trips back in the 1960's. She & I walked to the bathroom together & I told her I'd race her back to the tent. She didn't show up & after my parents told the ranger they found her about 45 minutes later. Another happy ending & thankfully not nearly as traumatic as Katherine's adventure. Great story as usual, Chris! 👍
Still… one wrong turn and people can get mixed up in the forest. Glad she was found. 🌲
Awesome video, Chris. What a story! I do also follow Dave Paulides and the disappearances have no good explanations. I agree with another comment that says if the place has Devil in the name, I'd avoid it all together. There's a reason for the name. KEEP HIKING 😊
Devils den yeah he holds out there. Kh! Thanks…C
That summer sun really warms up the stone, just laying on it at night keeps you warm all night. One of my favorite camping hacks
It just shows how resilient children can be. Obviously an intelligent child who listened to her body knowing it was hot to get shade and to soak her sore feet. That Part made me giggle ,showing again how smart a child is. Poor baby with swollen feet and bug bits .
Thank you Chris, great true story.. ✌️
Another great story Chris, what a beautiful area to hike. I love that kettle, at first I thought it was terra cotta lol!
Thanks Arielle! it is rubberized...hence the collapsible part...KH! c
My Sunday wouldn't be complete without a BCC video. My favorite channel on this subject. Thank you Chris!!!!!
Yay Coffee!!!!
This missing case had so many missing 411 points that I’m glad you mentioned Mr. Paulides.
The first 411 point I noticed was the name of the park they were in, but there were many more.
I heard of another case of a missing young girl in Arkansas that was more recent and very interesting.
This other case occurred in northern Arkansas; I believe it was along the Buffalo National River. She was hiking with her Grandparents who did not believe that she got outdoors enough so they took her for a hike to a waterfall along a river bluff trail. The girl lagged behind and in an effort to catch up, she took to a game trail and was instantly lost.
She also instantly gained a little girl companion, (Third Man Syndrome) that stayed with her until just before she was found. This little girl led the missing girl around, showed her where they could sleep and constantly told jokes; she also gave the missing girl a name that she wished to be called.
How the missing girl was located was also very strange and has some parallels in some missing 411 stories.
Two local men got it in their head somehow that they knew where the missing girl was at so they went to search hq and tried to get searchers to go there and look for her. The search bosses said that was a place that was too far and she couldn’t be there because she would have to have gotten down the nearly impossible to negotiate river bluff.
The two men were convinced the missing girl was where they thought she was even though they didn’t know why they had that thought in their heads.
They got two horses and rode to the spot and there sat the missing girl. This was the last spot the missing girl slept and when she awoke there sometime before her rescue, her little companion was gone.
When relating her story she told of her joking little companion and locals knew that some years before a little girl with a very similar but not identical name had died tragically, very near to where the missing girl disappeared.
After being returned to her family the girl that had been missing constantly had jokes to tell and never repeating any for some good little period of time.
Her parents said she had never told jokes before she went missing.
Thank you for sharing. Amazing information!
This is a fascinating story too! I think we can be guided to go certain places when we are truly needed. I think that's one of the things your story shows.
Great story too.
You do know, the '411' is just a scam, right?
Happy St Patrick's Day, Chris! Enjoy a Guiness tonight in celebration!
CHRIS!--Just remember the old "Bumper-Snicker"..."Beer 🍺, it's Not just for Breakfast anymore" 😅
Wow! Seven days lost!!! This is inspiration for modern times, so often we assume the worst for a missing person at the regular time intervals … 24, 48, 72… Whether you count her gone for six days which is 144 hours or seven days which is 168 hours… That little girl surviving is a miracle! Thanks for another Great story Chris!!!
Miracles are a joke when your aware the same source is responsible for the issues that need a miracle🤫
Nope read your bible, too never ever blame our YOUR CREATOR...U SHOULD CHANGE YOUR HANDLE@@HIGHER7RUTH
So thankful for miracles!!! I also call them, tender mercies.
I don't think its a miracle...its a big mystery...listen to David Paulides. There are lots of stories like this that don't make sense, or are impossible, and lean towards the work of unknowns.
Your new tent looks awesome.
It's Sunday!!! Hello Chris!!! 😊❤
Greetings from Laos, Chris. Coffee is awesome in the morning with breakfast. It tastes best when you're camping and hiking outside in nature.
Coffee anytime is good 😊 ❤
That kettle is ace!
Beautiful landscape, great story Chris🙂
Happy Sunday!
Such beautiful scenery Christ! The sandstone bolders remind of Badlands National Park and the 30 from Kadoka, SD to Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. Thank you for the story. I was 3 years old when it took place.
Thank God this little girl was found safe💜 cheers Chris. Great happy ending
Great video! My dad was lost in the Sequoia National Park for 6 days and 5 nights when he was 7 years old.
Amazing little girl!! I’m so thankful she was found 🙏🥰
Scrolling & ran across your new video, downloaded 43 seconds ago!!! What a treat!!! Love your videos Chris!! Thanks for taking me along!! Muskogee Oklahoma.
Been waiting for a story all day.
Odd story but it had a happy ending. Thank God they found her. Thanks Chris for another great video!
Sunday, Sunday Basecamp Chris is on
Miraculous story!! No doubt her guardian angel was watching over her. Thanks Chris!! ❤❤
Thanks for another great share Chris .
I bet I would’ve been the same way when I was little. What a little adventurer and explore she must’ve been.
No beer 😳👀...I'm drinking alone this episode 🙊🙄 ...still great as usual though Chris !!😬
Sorry...not an a.m. drinker. Cheers! but tonight I got one cooling down for me.🍺
Thank you!
Taster's Choice, Coffee? no you want
Café Bustelo.
That voice over is from the 1970's Taster's Choice commercial.
Trail of Tears, read the book. "Bury My Heart, at Wounded Knee".
All the best Shaun 🦉 of NYC
Man, bustello is the real deal.
Bustelo is great!!!
Where did you buy the collapsible kettle?
Hey Chris 🙋🏻♀️ greetings from the uk..I love the channel love hearing the encounters and of course I am very fond of you too 😊 safe travels and much love 🙋🏻♀️
Amazing story, Chris. Love the collapsable pot AND the tent!❣️p.s. Get an infusion ball (used for loose tea) coarsely grind some of your favorite coffee and have a cuppa worth waking up for! (Practice at home to fine tune the amount of coffee per cup and take a spoon with you that holds the proper amount.) From someone who would rather drink swamp water than bad coffee! 😝🤣🐅
Yayyyy! I look so forward to Sunday's to watch your latest videos. Thank you for all you do Chris. Stay safe and GOD bless
I love this kind of story, thanks Chris.
My pen pal Chris in NZ always says cheers. We have been pen pals for almost 20 years. No Big foot there.
You always have beautifully composed photos and videos. In particular this one of you sitting front of the rock is awesome.
Great Video Chris, also, Cheers, happy St Patrick's Day! In the Irish:
Slainte'! Agus Lá fhéile Pádraig sona dhuit. Briefly, my mother, born in 1909, wandered off as a 3-1/2 year old from home, she remembered falling asleep in a corn field during the day, and missing untill 400AM when she recalled people with kerosene lamps standing over her. She said she hid at first from the searchers, afraid of who they might be.
Great story Chris loved it
Devil's Den State Park is beautiful. 😊
Very strong little girl
chris hello my friend i hope you are doing well ❤
Your kettle is Awesome! Children are very resilient we don't give them enough credit. Great story Chris👍
You’re a great storyteller and can’t get enough of those laughs of yours!💚
That is an incredibly amazing story of survival for a young girl only eight years old, and to know to cool her swelling feet in colder creek water is astonishing. It kind of makes one wonder if there really wasn't another source of coaching by our North American cryptid bigfoot. Thirty miles of walking seems a lot for a youngster to keep wandering off that far, it seems she may have been carried. Thanks Chris for this fascinating story.
You just drink beer in the morning if the instant coffee is that bad🤭😊😂!
🇨🇦I was 8. Algonquin park Ont. I and a new friend rowed across the lake to see the white trees. We didn’t think of bears 🐻 or being lost. After many hours heading back to our camper I came up out of a ditch and a ranger drove up and asked if I was me. Yes i said. He said get back to camp everyone is looking for you. I was surprised. My parents seemed calm. Different times. Children were credited with resiliency and let be As a parent I was too afraid to let our son wander around all day in Algonquin park. 😮
Great story Chris. Weird how she got so far away from camp. One thing being afraid of getting in trouble I never told of the friend the boat the white trees. I said I was at the playground. No more questions were asked.
🇨🇦🍁
Oh WOW, I am just so HAPPY that Cathrine was found alive, what WONDERFUL news!! 🤗 🤗 🤗
You are always awesome! It is so much different seeing you enjoying a good beer.
I could watch a new video of base camp Chris everyday lol. Sundays take so long some weeks. He's the man!
Deal! Thanks for watching…c🌲
Hey, Chris. Been listening to and looking forward to your stories every week for quite some time now. Love your genuine spirit. My mom just passed rather unexpectedly a couple of weeks ago, and it's these little "routine things" in my life, like your vids, that are helping me transition into my new normal. Blessings to you.
I'm sorry for your loss. It's such a tough thing, to lose a parent.
Glad to be a part of your “routine” that is a hard loss.. sounds like you have some good memories of your mom. Keep going on your transition . . Your mom would be proud.
@@basecampchris, thanks so much. She lived a full life all the way to 87 years-old. I gave her plenty of heart-attacks when I was a young girl out there in the wilderness all by myself, but yes, she was proud of me just as I am sure your parents are proud of you.. Again, thanks for your stories. Keep hikin'!
There are a few of these nearly-missing-411 stories that are really interesting. It seems like they just got spirited away to a different dimension or glitched into a different location. Would be interesting if we could talk to these people as adults and see if they remember any additional details.
Yes - really weird...glad she survived...1 or 2 nights is one thing...6 nights is epic!
The majority of these stories are kinda like fiction. Real missing person cases, but Paulides adds his 'twist' to several of them. Any missing person case that is labelled as '411', is just an attempt to taint it, garner interest.
Another in a great run of good stories. Thanks
Love the Minnesota made coffee cup Chris👍I look forward to your stories oncSundays😊( looks like Stillwater's lift bridge) 2:31
Good job as usual! I’m glad you gave Paulides reference.
Is the coffee as good as Mrs. Olsen used to make?
Chris on Sunday.
Great story. Try starbucks coffee packets. Really good, imo.
A very lucky and VERY blessed child. Wonderful to hear a positive ending. Love your stories Chris.
I love this man's videos/Stories he is a person who is really good at what he does. I will be sharing and trying to promote Chris as should you.
What a smart little girl 😊
Hey Chris a trick I learned while traveling a lot with crappy instant coffee is to add a tablespoon of Swiss cocoa mix to it! Love the stories
good call!☕
What an amazing story Chris!! As you said it was strange and eerie. It's a miracle she survived. I am curious if someone or something protected her!!! Thanks for a great story! PS. Loved your comment about the coffee! 😅 Stay safe out there Chris! ❤
A lady recently went missing in our state park here and ended up over in the next state. She was a regular hiker and knew the trail well but when she was found two days later, alive and disoriented, had no idea how she’d gotten there or gotten so lost. I feel like these are abductions by non humans and then the person is returned. Anyway, great story as always Chris. Love the tent can’t wait to see it. Thank you for sharing your video.
Good Mid Afternoon Chris!! Happy Paddy's Day!!☘️☘️
I am curious if we can send you anything from any State We All are living..
Cool Caves in the Park..
The parents must of been frantic losing their 8 year old daughter, I know I would..
For her to survive those days and nights alone is a Miracle..❤
That is really impossible for her to be found where she was..Someone Diffiently was watching over her..Thank Heavens❤❤
Wow, amazing story, thx Chris
Hola Chris I enjoyed your video. Wow it just makes you stop and think where that little girl was all the time who took care of her I believe God did. Thank you Chris you’re Amazing. Have a wonderful evening love and God bless.♥️💕❤️🙏🙏🙏👍✌️😇
I totally agree! Thanks c 🌲👀⛺️
Wonderful Story ❤ Great Ending 😊
Thank you 😀I agree! C
Just commenting for the algorithm love ya Chris
I’ve been to this park. The terrain is tremendously tough.
That’s actually pretty incredible she survived. Someone was definitely watching out for her.
You know it is Sunday when BASE CAMP CHIS is here!❤️ Keep hiking!! 🥾 ☕😂 🍺
No way can a child walk that far with bare feet....nope....not even....
There may be more to this than the girl remembers. 🤔🤔
agree 110%
Very interesting story Chris …….thanks!!
Got my popcorn, my Arnold Palmers half and half and getting ready to listen to what my grandsons call a “bednight “ story. This was a good one and a different kind of scary. Love the kettle!
I watched everyone of your videos I think this is the first time you had coffee . Your the best love your videos ❤
Hi Chris, what strikes me about this is that it sounds like she vanished in an instant from being right near her brothers and then to travel that far that high up in elevation - sounds to me like she was found wandering, taken care of and taking to a place of safety where there was food safe to eat. Also in observance, her bathing suit doesn't appear indicative to that era - did they have 2 - piece bathing suits for adults and kids in the 1940s? Interesting story and I'm so glad for the good outcome - It would be interesting to speak with her today.
Wow!
