I was almost one of them. May, 2017, I'm on a solo camping trip at the Judge Branch Campsite at Frozenhead State Park, TN. I hiked to the site and, as I shook out my tent, a completely black shape simply popped up in front of me. I dropped the tent and fell backward, reaching for my knife thinking that a black bear had charged up on me. I stared as it stood there and winked out. It was about 5pm. I was completely disoriented from that point on. It was like my life was being drained from me. I tried to rest, but I just got weaker. I finally, instinctively, felt like I was dying. My mind was failing as fast as my body. The dark thing, whatever it was, was draining me of life. It took me three tries to pack my gear. I had to crawl to the trail. Barely able to walk, I made my way out as it got closer to dark. I could sense that I was being followed...terrible feeling when you can't see what's after you. Just as I was in sight of my car, something hit my pack from behind me. I am 6'-2" and a gym rat. Knocking me down is not so easy. Yet, I nearly dropped from the impact. I kept going. I crossed a stream just before I reached the parking lot. The attacks stopped. I dropped my gear into the trunk with ordinarilly powerful arms that were nearly useless. I made it home. There are things that live between the worlds that prey on us. Later, I researched the area and found a report that hikers found abandoned expensive gear at the same campsite a couple of years before my trip.. The trail had more gear strewn on the path. I hope that guy made it out. I had a gun, knife, machete, bear spray, cell phone, a sonic alarm and I was still defenseless. We are up against something new. I can give the place, time and the details to anyone wants more info. You can rent the campsite yourself and investigate. I later brought friends there for a short day trip. We found odd places on boulders with melted candles and strange figurines placed at the bases of some trees. It gave the impression of someone performing rituals there. It's just a guess, but it's how it felt. Perhaps people did things there to open a door, the wrong door to something else. I still think about the encounter and I'm sure that if I had stayed, I would have been lost. I'm the fish that got off of the hook.
Wow. Thats an amazing story. But as you said we are defenseless, I'd have to say when physical weapons won't work use the sword of the Gospel. I have had a situation where a person who seemed to be under demonic possession (crack or something) came creeping up on me as I was pumping gas 1 night. This person had evil in there eyes. I told em Jesus christ saves sinners . And they got really scared and turned away and fled. And yea I believe there are fallen angels at work attacking and deceiving many. GOD is our only defense for this . I hope you are well, God bless

@@BlancoDevil people will really listen to you because your spelling is exceptional haha! I've also read other stories where people have said they've seen Shadow People, beings that look like the camouflaged aliens on the movie predator, and just odd outlines of something that's there but they can't see it.
I've always enjoyed your channel Rusty, from the very beginning. I really appreciate your calm, commercial free stories, with music that makes me emotionally saddened for those who have gone missing, the sense of tremendous loss for those who loved them, and somehow comforted at the same time. I look forward to joining you again for 10 more strange wilderness stories in the future. Take good care of yourself. 👍👏
These cases no matter how many times I hear about it and ones that are similar..its just mind blowing 🤯 how people can just dissappear without a trace in short periods of time...
@@wallys11000 I would say it's demons that are killing them but from what I learned about them is they don't kill lol so I can't even begin to imagine what is going on. and it's happening all over the world 🌎 I even heard stories about portals to creatures like from the movie predator translucent being a And faeries it's all mind blowing 🤯
Me too! I live in a forested area, And the small yard I have for my dog I take her out of a leash and keep all the lights on when I go out. I definitely pay more attention to what’s around us.
It’s such a wild ,vast place . It really is risky entering such a wilderness. I should say there’s a medley of possible dangers out there;one of the foremost are human hunters. Theses are probably very sick individual’s who kill other innocent people for kicks. They do it because, they know there’s a big chance they’ll never get caught murdering someone.
@@susanbrown2909 that has always been my thought...but my thing is if its people(person) doing nefarious things, where are the bodies, where is the sign of struggle, blood etc.... It's spooky to say the least.
2 things I noticed. 1) An awful lot of people from Oregon turn up missing. Makes me nervous to hike anymore. 2) Love this particular song on these videos. It really sets the mood. Great job.
These are wilds lands ! Betweens you fallings ,drownings becoming disoriented bear in counters & faul s plays ! You name it's ! It can happens toos everyone s . Thank you remember s stick togethers ! You Nevers when's your may needs rescueings !
Thank you always Rusty for posting these video's so that these poor folks are not forgotten. And also the strange circumstances on how they went missing in such strange ways. Love all your work. Always a thumbs up for you.
Hi Rusy we missed you! Thank you for the upload! You have the best content and a really great voice. Thanks for being a part of this community and keeping the voices of the missing heard. It is deeply appreciated.
I've literally been watching these all day, so happy to watch a new one. I really appreciate the amount of respect you have for the missing and their families, such a great series. Awesome work Rusty 👍
Criminal activity, illness, disorientation, accident, deliberate absence...I'm not sure they're ALL beyond out understanding. But it makes a good adult horror story to ascribe it to something 'supernatural'

Even better than ...... " You are hearbye officially notified by The United States Internal Revenue Service that an investigation into your blah,blah,blah......has been authorized? "
thanks so much dear sir for another volume of these! I see you brought back that lovely and moving song that you used originally on these compilations! it's been quite a while! :)
The story about the 19 year old Jeremiah especially broke my heart. How innocent to just be looking for a cell phone case and then you're gone. I believe these are invisible beings beyond our pea brained, compared to them, comprehension. We cannot comprehend what is happening because whatever is doing this is so beyond humans. I'm so sorry for all the missing and gone.

@@whattheflyingduck6878 I'm not Greek. Phi is not a letter in my language. It makes zero sense, so in my normal, rebellious way I changed it to the proper spelling.
@@BlancoDevil I knew I had heard that before. It was your comment on another video. Last Friday My sister saw a shadow walk through another sister's hall and into her bathroom. My sister does not use any drugs. She was wide awake and the sister she was visiting was dying. She passed away Monday morning. I'm not sure if that could be the reason for my other sister seeing the shadow. I really have no idea. I've lived long enough to see too many things that I can not explain to question anyone else on what they say they've seen. All I can say is that I'm thankful that you are safe. Those symbols and candles you saw may have been someone's attempt to bind that thing so that it can't attack. I wanted to add that since your first thought was someone had opened a portal with those symbols. I don't have the time to proofread and edit. Please forgive me any errors.
Rusty... you are my favorite TH-camr, I just love your videos. I think it would be great if you could do a series where you sent us updates of cases in previous episodes.
Oh my gosh, yaaay! You said, "as of October 19th 2020. . . . ."! It bugs the crap outta me when narrators say, "it is still unsolved to this day" then, I have to pause to go look in the description to make sure it is a current video and not one that is 2 years old and may have been solved. So, thank youuuuuu 🥰
"And there you have it"... love when you say that Rusty lol... Finally some new cases I've never seen before. Keep up with the good work that you do with the videos Rusty. And just wanted to send my deepest sympathy to the families that have had to go through this. Listening from~Baltimore,MD ✌✌
Thank You for this video. Rusty you honor these lost people by telling the events and and the many who came to help and search. Every time I watch, my heart goes out to the lost ones and their families.
Thank you, Rusty, for another fascinating video of the missing people. Thank you, also, for being steady at gathering and posting new material. Keep up the good work.
My day is complete, now ...I luv ya Rusty...never met ya, will forever listen to ya... you are one of the gentlest souls i have ever met ...these stories are fascinating ...God Bless You Rusty ... DB-Ohio and that violin ... ...
Hi Rusty, as always such beautiful music and a great way to report these sad disappearances, very much appreciate the way you make people alert for the missing problem in and around the national parks of America.
I've lived in Oregon all my life. Still haven't gotten lost. Never go anywhere alone in the Oregon forests. Always have your buddy with you. And beware of hidden holes in the ground, swift waters, cliff edges, bears, cougars, and Bigfoot 😉
@@legalfictionnaturalfact3969 Ah! But it does. Quite a few of these disappearances happened in OREGON. I spoke of the forests in OREGON. I am from, OREGON. 🙄
@@jubi400 i've been solo hiking hunting fishing in OREGON for nearly 45 years. even in the places mentioned in this and other of Rusty's videos. i know it's not the safest thing to do but i love the challenge. i have had some close calls but i always mad it home. that story of the old man lost while hunting was a sad one.
Im always drawn to those cases. There have been so many people have a certain type of encounter in areas of the Cascades thatvIbthink they may be connected to some of the missing.
Yeah, I notice that they loose one or both shoes or bad weather moves in to stop search efforts ? I find the pictures seem really good for me to put a face with these sad stories and they are heart breaking but I have to watch them. The worst is when they are little children. So sad !! Good to see a new video Rusty.

The one where the guy left his friend in the car waiting while he retrieved his cell phone case is just down right creepy. And then his one shoe and cell phone are found just off the trail !!?? My goodness. What the heck is going on.
Sounds like a crime occurred. Perhaps he went to meet someone (and used the phone case as an excuse - strange how he suddenly knew exactly where the case was and chose to go alone....)
@@LazyDaisyDay88 that’s what I was thinking...if he “lost” his cell phone case , how did he happen to know exactly where it was when they went back for it? If he knew then he wouldn’t have lost it. So weird.
@Noah Wells No. I've listened the stories Rusty tells since the days when he took them from the 411 Missing stories. Shoes? What if he hurt his ankle or foot and took off his shoe because it was swollen? What about Hypothermia? What about wanting to take your shoe off to use it as a cup to drink (if you have nothing else on you)? What about a broken shoe? What about leaving a trail of clothing for someone to find you (however misguided, that has been done) Nothing in these stories is particularly obvious - but you ARE looking for patterns. You're set up to look for those patterns and to ignore the more obvious solutions. I'm not trying to be argumentative but to leap to the conclusion that the supernatural is "taking people" (with no evidence and no motive) lacks reasoning and objectivity. Have a good day.
Number 6 was my Grandpa. Our family was devastated! No sign of him or any of his belongings were found that winter. My heart goes out to each and every person who has to experience such a horrible event!
Thanks Rusty! Always a pleasure to watch your videos. I'll watch this again like i always do. Then i'll be back on the edge waiting for your next masterpiece. Love your videos, Thank you for your time, and hope to see you soon. Thank you.
Hey, thanks again for the work you put in. Your a cool guy for spending your time with this. I’m glad you talk about these people. It’s a rough thing to be lost, I imagine all the worst to be forgotten. Thanks rusty.
Rusty, thank you so much for the simple, respectful choice of picking such lovely, sad music for the background. Whatever is happening, these folks have suffering loved ones, and these are, in a way, memorials. Thank you.
He probably does; but that's David Paulides job. Rusty just presents the info with an unbiased attitude which allows the viewer to decide for themselves.
There's a story out there that the same question was asked to the first nation tribe members (Alaskan?) about they're missing hunters. Their response was"They went out there" kick that around!
@@daleslover2771 their response doesn't say much. but i believe theyre taken to the lair of the creature, eaten, bones piling on top. cave is very likely
Thank you for covering Gloria McDonald's disappearance. I grew up going to Queen Wilhelmina State Park I also worked there in the Queens lodge. This case has bothered me for a long time.

@@BlancoDevil this is terrifying to me I loved going camping,hiking etc but after hearing the horror stories and one happening where I grew up. I'm glad you were able to regain enough composure to get the heck out of there. You were brave going back I wouldn't have lol
High Randy. I had a aunt that lived in Flagstaff AZ , and worked for the Grand Canyon national park service. And she disappeared in February, 22yrs ago. And has never been found. I often wonder where she is. I know (but feeling) that she is still alive somewhere.
The music and these stories are beautiful and sad...very sad indeed. Thank you Rusty for bringing these to us. I look forward to your next vids...hopefully soon. You are one of the best!! thank you so much.....J
Please take someone with you and plan ahead before anyone goes on a hike or anywhere involving a national forest, and stay close to one another. Not going anywhere near a park alone, these missing stories were so sad. I'll say a prayer for the missing hikers and their loved ones. Thanks Rusty, Peace&Hugs 🎃Lily🎃
Awesome, intriguing stories and good music. Glad you uploaded again. One thing is for sure. I will never look at the forest the same way again. Something has definitely changed out there. If I did have to go out there for whatever reason. One thing for sure is I won’t leave without my PLB, Satellite phone and 9mm. Love the original music, it is so fitting for the subject. Glad to have you back on TH-cam.
I live in the PacNW and have spent many many hours in remote wilderness areas and there are times when you just get a feeling that something is different.
State of Oregon representing.... I live in Klamath Falls and frequent where Jerry (#5) went missing. Area is full of volcanic rock formations and very disorienting forest. Area where his truck was found is known for "chimneys", which are narrow vertical caves only a few feet wide and hundreds of feet deep. Wouldn't surprise me if he fell into one. I wish his family could get closure
30 volumes, meaning over 300 missing persons, and no way are you coming close to being finished. Mind boggling. The one with the easel set up still gave me chills. Praying for the missing and their loved ones.

The candles and figurines are witchcraft
Most likely the dreaded wooly booger.
How dya know it weren’t a Sasquatch
Wow. Thats an amazing story. But as you said we are defenseless, I'd have to say when physical weapons won't work use the sword of the Gospel. I have had a situation where a person who seemed to be under demonic possession (crack or something) came creeping up on me as I was pumping gas 1 night. This person had evil in there eyes. I told em Jesus christ saves sinners . And they got really scared and turned away and fled. And yea I believe there are fallen angels at work attacking and deceiving many. GOD is our only defense for this . I hope you are well, God bless
Did time seem to stop or stand still?
Were things flashing in your mind as you were trying to leave?

I dropped the tent and fell backward, reaching for my knife thinking that a black bear had charged up on me. I stared as it stood there and winked out. It was about 5pm. I was completely disoriented from that point on. It was like my life was being drained from me. I tried to rest, but I just got weaker. I finally, instinctively, felt like I was dying. My mind was failing as fast as my body. The dark thing, whatever it was, was draining me of life. It took me three tries to pack my gear. I had to crawl to the trail. Barely able to walk, I made my way out as it got closer to dark. I could sense that I was being followed...terrible feeling when you can't see what's after you. Just as I was in sight of my car, something hit my pack from behind me. I am 6'-2" and a gym rat. Knocking me down is not so easy. Yet, I nearly dropped from the impact. I kept going. I crossed a stream just before I reached the parking lot. The attacks stopped. I dropped my gear into the trunk with ordinarilly powerful arms that were nearly useless. I made it home. There are things that live between the worlds that prey on us. Later, I researched the area and found a report that hikers found abandoned expensive gear at the same campsite a couple of years before my trip.. The trail had more gear strewn on the path. I hope that guy made it out. I had a gun, knife, machete, bear spray, cell phone, a sonic alarm and I was still defenseless. We are up against something new. I can give the place, time and the details to anyone wants more info. You can rent the campsite yourself and investigate. I later brought friends there for a short day trip. We found odd places on boulders with melted candles and strange figurines placed at the bases of some trees. It gave the impression of someone performing rituals there. It's just a guess, but it's how it felt. Perhaps people did things there to open a door, the wrong door to something else. I still think about the encounter and I'm sure that if I had stayed, I would have been lost. I'm the fish that got off of the hook.
Wow B.Carlsen ...GOD was with you thats why this evil spirit could not get and harm you ...
What happened to Alexander Pisch? He was just painting on the shores of the lake.
@@BlancoDevil people will really listen to you because your spelling is exceptional haha! I've also read other stories where people have said they've seen Shadow People, beings that look like the camouflaged aliens on the movie predator, and just odd outlines of something that's there but they can't see it.
I believe you. There are supernatural forces out there and nothing that humans should be flaunting their ability to interact with.
I've always enjoyed your channel Rusty, from the very beginning.
I really appreciate your calm, commercial free stories, with music that makes me emotionally saddened for those who have gone missing, the sense of tremendous loss for those who loved them, and somehow comforted at the same time. I look forward to joining you again for 10 more strange wilderness stories in the future. Take good care of yourself. 👍👏
@Noah Wells youtube premium, well worth it 👌
These cases no matter how many times I hear about it and ones that are similar..its just mind blowing 🤯 how people can just dissappear without a trace in short periods of time...
Makes me think what's going on in this world.
Yep, something's going on. Wonder if we'll ever find out what. Must be evil.
@@wallys11000 I would say it's demons that are killing them but from what I learned about them is they don't kill lol so I can't even begin to imagine what is going on. and it's happening all over the world 🌎 I even heard stories about portals to creatures like from the movie predator translucent being a
And faeries it's all mind blowing 🤯
Bigfoot eats them
@@anthonystark7873 Probably interdimensional beings up to no good alright. The same as Jesus cast out, or maybe a class of Nephilim or fallen angels.
I don't know which is sadder....the stories or the music. After watching many videos on the missing, I won't even go to the mailbox after dark!
Me too! I live in a forested area, And the small yard I have for my dog I take her out of a leash and keep all the lights on when I go out. I definitely pay more attention to what’s around us.
I used to dispatch 911 so mix that with Rusty's videos and you got me caring bears spray EVERYWHERE! 😂😹 Totally serious
It’s such a wild ,vast place .
It really is risky entering such a wilderness.
I should say there’s a medley of possible dangers out there;one of the foremost are human hunters.
Theses are probably very sick individual’s who kill other innocent people for kicks.
They do it because, they know there’s a big chance they’ll never get caught murdering someone.
I love the original music
@@susanbrown2909 that has always been my thought...but my thing is if its people(person) doing nefarious things, where are the bodies, where is the sign of struggle, blood etc.... It's spooky to say the least.
When the video hasn't even started playing and you still hit the like button.
I always do on channels I like.
ABSOLUTELY 😋
Oh yes! First thing!! 👍🏻
yes!
I'm sure I am in love with Sasha Poole and I haven't ever seen her picture.
2 things I noticed. 1) An awful lot of people from Oregon turn up missing. Makes me nervous to hike anymore.
2) Love this particular song on these videos. It really sets the mood. Great job.
check out 411 The Missing. he covers Oregon.
the weather is harsh and unpredictable. hypothermia.
It’s not a song.
Astoria is known for witch craft.. that’s my thoughts
These are wilds lands ! Betweens you fallings ,drownings becoming disoriented bear in counters & faul s plays ! You name it's ! It can happens toos everyone s . Thank you remember s stick togethers ! You Nevers when's your may needs rescueings !
Welcome back ! Miss your channel and your soothing voice! God bless you and the families of those missing 🙏🏻💖
This is the music that I love when Rusty speaks,great job Rusty👍
Thank you always Rusty for posting these video's so that these poor folks are not forgotten. And also the strange circumstances on how they went missing in such strange ways. Love all your work. Always a thumbs up for you.
Hi Rusy we missed you! Thank you for the upload! You have the best content and a really great voice. Thanks for being a part of this community and keeping the voices of the missing heard. It is deeply appreciated.
Perfect timing and love the original intro music
I cannot understand why people split up. It seems no matter how many times you say not to, they still do and go missing. Thank you Rusty.
Missed you so much!
Please! Give us more "strange occurrences!" Those are my favorite. Your voice makes me feel like I'm THERE experiencing it!
These are so sad. Thanks Rusty for sharing.
Just made my night a whole lot better! Thank you!
Agreed. Glad i can finally sit down and watch. Hope all is well for you wherever you may be :)
Wow what a surprise 💟
Much love Rusty i appreciate all that you do to spread awareness of those that go missing. May all of their families find peace.
Just had a nap listening to your older content, now a new one, yay!!🤗💙
I've literally been watching these all day, so happy to watch a new one. I really appreciate the amount of respect you have for the missing and their families, such a great series. Awesome work Rusty 👍
I don’t know what’s going on in these parks, but I think it’s beyond our realm of understanding. Out of this world maybe.
Disappearance cases just break my 💔💔.
Something is snatching people....
I dunno if I even want to know what kind of creatures are snatching these people but I'm never ever for any reason going hiking by myself...
Criminal activity, illness, disorientation, accident, deliberate absence...I'm not sure they're ALL beyond out understanding. But it makes a good adult horror story to ascribe it to something 'supernatural'

The greatest of all notifications.
Even better than ...... " You are hearbye officially notified by The United States Internal Revenue Service that an investigation into your blah,blah,blah......has been authorized? "
I'll second that motion!
Yay! Beautiful music with a beautiful person. Love you. 💕
These stories are so sad Rusty. Thank you for not forgetting THESE lost folks.💜
Yay, so glad your back old friend
Two Rusty West uploads in about a week. Truly awesome
First like for you there Rusty! Thanks for the upload...always look forward to your work.
thanks so much dear sir for another volume of these! I see you brought back that lovely and moving song that you used originally on these compilations! it's been quite a while! :)
The story about the 19 year old Jeremiah especially broke my heart. How innocent to just be looking for a cell phone case and then you're gone. I believe these are invisible beings beyond our pea brained, compared to them, comprehension. We cannot comprehend what is happening because whatever is doing this is so beyond humans. I'm so sorry for all the missing and gone.

They found that guy's fone and one of his shoes? That's so bizarre. Truly.

@@whattheflyingduck6878 I'm not Greek. Phi is not a letter in my language. It makes zero sense, so in my normal, rebellious way I changed it to the proper spelling.
@@BlancoDevil I knew I had heard that before. It was your comment on another video. Last Friday My sister saw a shadow walk through another sister's hall and into her bathroom. My sister does not use any drugs. She was wide awake and the sister she was visiting was dying. She passed away Monday morning. I'm not sure if that could be the reason for my other sister seeing the shadow. I really have no idea. I've lived long enough to see too many things that I can not explain to question anyone else on what they say they've seen. All I can say is that I'm thankful that you are safe. Those symbols and candles you saw may have been someone's attempt to bind that thing so that it can't attack. I wanted to add that since your first thought was someone had opened a portal with those symbols. I don't have the time to proofread and edit. Please forgive me any errors.
Rusty... you are my favorite TH-camr, I just love your videos. I think it would be great if you could do a series where you sent us updates of cases in previous episodes.
Oh my gosh, yaaay! You said, "as of October 19th 2020. . . . ."!
It bugs the crap outta me when narrators say, "it is still unsolved to this day" then, I have to pause to go look in the description to make sure it is a current video and not one that is 2 years old and may have been solved. So, thank youuuuuu 🥰

Rusty you never let us down. Your voice suits this touchy subject so well.
God bless
"And there you have it"... love when you say that Rusty lol... Finally some new cases I've never seen before. Keep up with the good work that you do with the videos Rusty. And just wanted to send my deepest sympathy to the families that have had to go through this.
Listening from~Baltimore,MD ✌✌
Oh nice you brought back the old music!!. Awesome thanks..
Thank You for this video. Rusty you honor these lost people by telling the events and and the many who came to help and search.
Every time I watch, my heart goes out to the lost ones and their families.
It's weird how they all disappear in these mountains and always their clothes are found with their shoes most of the time crazy.
Satan comes to kill to steel and to destroy - bible
Almost like something comes along and takes them, but almost they’re told you won’t need those clothes or guns
Am I the only one that got excited getting the notification of the new video?? Thanks again Rusty 👍👍👍
Thank you, Rusty, for another fascinating video of the missing people. Thank you, also, for being steady at gathering and posting new material. Keep up the good work.
Thanks Rusty, appreciate your work. Glad your able to use this music again as it is fitting to the content. Take care now
Such a treat to come home from a long day at work to a new Rusty video ! Take care and be safe Rusty fans.
Rusty the Man with the information. Love, love, love to you and keep on posting.
My day is complete, now ...I luv ya Rusty...never met ya, will forever listen to ya... you are one of the gentlest souls i have ever met ...these stories are fascinating ...God Bless You Rusty ... DB-Ohio
and that violin ... ...
Oh I missed you ! I couldn't click fast enough! Stay safe, happy and healthy everyone! ❤️
You be safe also. Also to everyone else be careful out in the woods. I live in west virginia I've heard weird and crazy things in these woods.
Love the stories.
Whoever Rusty is he should write replies whenever writing to "Rusty West".
Hi Rusty, as always such beautiful music and a great way to report these sad disappearances, very much appreciate the way you make people alert for the missing problem in and around the national parks of America.
I've lived in Oregon all my life. Still haven't gotten lost.
Never go anywhere alone in the Oregon forests. Always have your buddy with you.
And beware of hidden holes in the ground, swift waters, cliff edges, bears, cougars, and Bigfoot 😉
That has nothing to do with these disappearances, sorry. Better luck next time.
@@legalfictionnaturalfact3969 Ah! But it does. Quite a few of these disappearances happened in OREGON. I spoke of the forests in OREGON. I am from, OREGON.
🙄
@@jubi400 i've been solo hiking hunting fishing in OREGON for nearly 45 years. even in the places mentioned in this and other of Rusty's videos. i know it's not the safest thing to do but i love the challenge. i have had some close calls but i always mad it home. that story of the old man lost while hunting was a sad one.
Beware of the human hunters.
@@stevestringham1095 Glad you've made it home safe.
Thank you for covering the missing persons from the Cascade's. It is more common than people realize.
Im always drawn to those cases. There have been so many people have a certain type of encounter in areas of the Cascades thatvIbthink they may be connected to some of the missing.
Yeah, I notice that they loose one or both shoes or bad weather moves in to stop search efforts ? I find the pictures seem really good for me to put a face with these sad stories and they are heart breaking but I have to watch them. The worst is when they are little children. So sad !!

Good to hear from you Rusty!! That music speaks the volume of sorrow felt for these missing soul's!!🙏
It’s hard to wait for your new releases, Rusty. Love your work, your voice, and your presentation style.
Always great to hear a new audio from Rusty. These are interesting and bizarre cases
Ya. Your back... We missed you Rusty and Thanks for another Great Video
The mournful sound of the music really gets me every time, Rusty.
Thanks for doing this. It's important work.
The one where the guy left his friend in the car waiting while he retrieved his cell phone case is just down right creepy. And then his one shoe and cell phone are found just off the trail !!?? My goodness. What the heck is going on.
Sounds like a crime occurred. Perhaps he went to meet someone (and used the phone case as an excuse - strange how he suddenly knew exactly where the case was and chose to go alone....)
@@LazyDaisyDay88 that’s what I was thinking...if he “lost” his cell phone case , how did he happen to know exactly where it was when they went back for it? If he knew then he wouldn’t have lost it. So weird.
@Noah Wells No. I've listened the stories Rusty tells since the days when he took them from the 411 Missing stories. Shoes? What if he hurt his ankle or foot and took off his shoe because it was swollen? What about Hypothermia? What about wanting to take your shoe off to use it as a cup to drink (if you have nothing else on you)? What about a broken shoe? What about leaving a trail of clothing for someone to find you (however misguided, that has been done)
Nothing in these stories is particularly obvious - but you ARE looking for patterns. You're set up to look for those patterns and to ignore the more obvious solutions.
I'm not trying to be argumentative but to leap to the conclusion that the supernatural is "taking people" (with no evidence and no motive) lacks reasoning and objectivity.
Have a good day.
@Noah Wells An Angel? That's fascinating.
@Noah Wells like the shows with feet washing up on the same beach....👀😳and all they say is it must be accidents or suicides....um no 😒
Gorgeous music. I hope life has been treating you well Rusty!
And here we have it another great vídeo I love you Rusty.
Glad you posted, can't wait to watch this. Thanks Rusty.
Number 6 was my Grandpa. Our family was devastated! No sign of him or any of his belongings were found that winter. My heart goes out to each and every person who has to experience such a horrible event!
What? How old were you at the time? Sorry for your loss if true
Thanks Rusty! Always a pleasure to watch your videos. I'll watch this again like i always do. Then i'll be back on the edge waiting for your next masterpiece. Love your videos, Thank you for your time, and hope to see you soon. Thank you.
Original music and everything. Wow 🤩

Hey, thanks again for the work you put in. Your a cool guy for spending your time with this. I’m glad you talk about these people. It’s a rough thing to be lost, I imagine all the worst to be forgotten. Thanks rusty.
glad to see you posting more often.

So happy to hear you, I have really missed you❤️🇺🇸😎

Rusty, thank you so much for the simple, respectful choice of picking such lovely, sad music for the background. Whatever is happening, these folks have suffering loved ones, and these are, in a way, memorials. Thank you.
Thanks Rusty! Always look forward to your notifications!
Thank you Rusty! I could listen for hours.
Glad to see a new video rusty! Out of curiosity, do you have any theories on WHAT is happening to these people???
He probably does; but that's David Paulides job. Rusty just presents the info with an unbiased attitude which allows the viewer to decide for themselves.
There's a story out there that the same question was asked to the first nation tribe members (Alaskan?) about they're missing hunters. Their response was"They went out there" kick that around!
@@daleslover2771 their response doesn't say much. but i believe theyre taken to the lair of the creature, eaten, bones piling on top. cave is very likely
@@zoeyrochellezhombie829 Paulides doesnt present theories either. He just give the details of the cases.
No he doesn't clue... Quit spreading BS...
After 2 years and finally clicking on your recent video again it feels great, you brought this back as the disappearances are upsetting

Love love love all ur videos
Thanks for the new video Rusty! Hope all is well in your part of the world
Please take someone with you and plan ahead before anyone goes on a hike or anywhere involving a national forest, and stay close to one another. Not going anywhere near a park alone, these missing stories were so sad. I'll say a prayer for the missing hikers and their loved ones. Thanks Rusty, Peace&Hugs 🎃Lily🎃
I avoid any state/national park & camp ground. Too many unexplained things going on! I don't camp, hike, or hunt!!!!
Yessssss!!!!!! So happy to see this! Thank you Rusty! 🥰💋
@Rusty West have been missing your videos something awful...welcome back 🙏🤠
You just made my evening . Love your attention to details and your content. No one does it better. Thank you for all you do.
One of my favorite channels hands down!👍👍
Awesome, intriguing stories and good music. Glad you uploaded again. One thing is for sure. I will never look at the forest the same way again. Something has definitely changed out there. If I did have to go out there for whatever reason. One thing for sure is I won’t leave without my PLB, Satellite phone and 9mm.
Love the original music, it is so fitting for the subject. Glad to have you back on TH-cam.
Loving getting some new Rusty West.
I live in the PacNW and have spent many many hours in remote wilderness areas and there are times when you just get a feeling that something is different.
State of Oregon representing.... I live in Klamath Falls and frequent where Jerry (#5) went missing. Area is full of volcanic rock formations and very disorienting forest. Area where his truck was found is known for "chimneys", which are narrow vertical caves only a few feet wide and hundreds of feet deep. Wouldn't surprise me if he fell into one. I wish his family could get closure
Another great one, Rusty. Thanks so much for posting these very strange and inexplicable stories. Cheers Pat
Yaaas. Welcome back!
He's been back
Yes!!!!! Love these! Love that they stay the same in sound and style and that you keep providing this info!!!
I just watched Missing 411 earlier today. It's crazy that there are no national databases keeping track of disappearances in national parks.
Why would there be one?
30 volumes, meaning over 300 missing persons, and no way are you coming close to being finished. Mind boggling. The one with the easel set up still gave me chills. Praying for the missing and their loved ones.
The music really is the best Rusty.👍👍
Yes, I go into grieving mode when it starts
Always so excited to see a new upload from you. Thank you.
Really happy to hear the original music again!!!
Same!
Thanks Rusty! You're appreciated!
