Hello everyone, It's finally Friday so be sure to have a great and safe weekend and I hope you're having a nice build-up to Christmas. As always, I'm interested in hearing your thoughts on the disappearances discussed so do share. Disclaimer: Unfortunately, I did not have any access to footage of the Olympic National Park, so footage used is of other National Parks and areas. The animated pictures are all of the Olympic National Park. It was a shame, but unfortunately my hands were tied as I can't use footage without permission unless I can sufficiently transform it enough, which is not always possible.
Another absolute amazing documentary! Beyond love this channel, however Top Mysteries could you check into "unexplained mass pet disappearances?" It's basically like the missing 411 for pets, one min they're in the yard an POOF! They vanish never to be seen again an it's happening at the present time as well. I'm sure you can dig data up on this an it would make a most interesting video. Lastly how about the "dulce base" in New Mexico I believe, very confidential place, alot of conspiracies, but credible sources as well, feel me? Phil Schneider was assinated for speaking about it, research that an D.U.M.B.S deep underground military bases, I think both topics other viewers would find intriguing as well. Just a few ideas for possibly future content would be awesome! Thank you so much an you guys rock brother! Keep them coming!🔝😎🤘🏽💯
As a former member of the Coast Guard and a Search and Rescue worker Stationed for decades in the Olympics, I can honestly tell you to never let your kids out of your sight out there, And do not ever travel out there alone, I have seen things that would make you never want to go outside again.
I live in port angeles... the entry to the park is a 2 min drive from me. & I can say , just as a resident - I've very clearly seen things out here that would make anyone question their entire sense of reality. Shit that makes big foot look like a teddy bear.
ROTFLMAO at these comments, I live on the Sol Duc river. The scariest things out here are the tourists. It's 4-11-2024 and we have had to save a half a dozen people and recover three that weren't so lucky this year in my region. People do go missing every year, some never found. So be smart and be safe if you go out into the woods today. (and go armed)
There’s an old Appalachian, Tennessee tale that my great aunt use to tell me about a little boy she went to school with. It came one of those once every ten year snows and the mother sent the 9 year old boy out to get some fresh water from the well that was about 50 yards from the cabin. When the boy didn’t come back her husband and her went out looking for him. They followed his footprints in the snow until they abruptly stopped about 20 ft. from the well. They noticed the water pale laying in the snow a good 50 ft. Away but there were no other tracks. They heard a faint cry but couldn’t tell which direction it was coming from. They stood still and listened carefully. They were both horrified when one of the child’s boots landed directly in front of them having fallen from the sky. They both looked up just in time to hear one last cry that seemed to fade further up into the clouds. This was a true story my great aunt use to tell me and my sister.
I absolutely believe it. Either giant eagle or a surviving kind of prehistoric bird like a thunderbird (pterodactyl). Many disappearances would be attributed to these especially when the victim is found hundreds of miles away.
That exact same scenario happened near a town called Rhayader in Wales in 1909. There was a family gathering at night which included the local pastor, the local veterinarian and other prominent guests. At around 11 pm, eleven year-old Oliver Thomas went out to fetch water from the well. They heard the boy scream and everyone rushed out, the pastor carrying a kerosene lamp. The boy's footsteps went from the door halfway to the well and stopped abruptly. They heard the boy screaming from somewhere above "Help! They're taking me away!" The police were called; they searched the well and every house in the area, but they found nothing. Oliver Thomas was never found.
I never understood how they let a little boy stay behind, or go off on his own, cause he's tired, or his legs hurt, either someone pick him up and carry him, or someone stay behind with him. That story always bothered me because the pieces don't add up. Love your channel ❤️
If my young son can’t walk anymore I carry him a good father would not send his 6 year old son to wait on a beach. The parents should have charges filed against them for child neglect.
It doesn’t matter if there is only one way in and one way out the boy could drown before they got to him. It’s not just me that is a superior parent anyone with common sense doesn’t leave a tiny child alone on a beach.
I agree, my husband nor i would ever leave our child alone in the woods and Shes 12!! Predators, molesters, rapists among creepy shit like this are out there too. They should be jailed. Poor boy.
@Jody Owen We don't actually know that the child got left do we? From the way it was said, it sounds like one publication assumed the child was left, whilst another said the child went with them, but when the brother turned around, he wasn't there. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure that's what I heard.
Me, a Washington state native sitting in my Washington state home in the wilderness who always goes to Olympic National Forest every summer: “ah yes, I’ll watch this since it’s only 1-2 hours from my house, I live in a forest area this won’t be creep even tho it’s 1 in the morning” Also me: peaking out my window all paranoid about what or who could be lurking in these woods 😳
I'm moving back to Washington in a couple of months. Really stoked to hike through the Olympic national park. I've mostly focused on the cascades before.
DITTO! I live somewhere in the middle of a forest northwest of Olympia, WA but must admit I love it. A friend told me I should get a trail cam so I can see what's going on outside at night...I told them I don't want to know what's going on out there after dark.
I sit 50+ miles away and even looking at the Olympics from my house in Seattle is creepy. Went out to see a friend in Sequim and didn't stop ANYWHERE on the side of the road to take pics
@Jody Owen I agree Jody it's much better for the eventual adult they will be to age appropriately prepare your children to deal with the world than it is just simply hide them from it. I do think society has encouraged us to behave as helicopter parents and it's damaged our children.
@@TheSubygirl I do agree to some of the things you and Judy are saying. However, I think it depends on WHERE you live and what you're living situation is. I have lived in Washington all of my adult life and some of my adolescence. I was very much an outdoorsman as I guided Whitewater trips on most of our WA rivers and a couple in OR. I've also asended Mt. Rainier and was an avid skier. My kids started out with all the amazing things kids should have at first...we lived on a small island in Puget Sound and it was the type of place you didn't worry about locking doors. But life does throw curve balls..so by a very young age there father " pieced" out. I began my life as a single / disabled mother ( from a brain tumor ). All I can say is I'm glad I taught my kids basic survivor skills...how to swim, to stay put if you get lost, to not approach strange people or animals, how to call 911 ( you'd be surprised how many kids don't know how to call for help!) Be home at a certain time, etc, etc; This doesn't mean they never had a problem!! To suggest just because you grew up and didn't run into any crisises makes you or you're parents better than others is a bit egocentric and naive! People can be the best of parents, do all the "right" things and still may have a tragedy happen. Consider yourselves LUCKY! Not special children or parents. Fortunately the things that happened in my kids lives were small basic things, I am greatfull for that, but because of their understanding of how the world works and to their strengths ( also the community we live in ) Alot of parents do not have these things! That doesn't make them or their children damaged in any way! It makes them human ... With maybe a little karma mixed in. Like I said .... Consider yourselves VERY LUCKY.
I think it’s much easier to get lost than people realize, even on a marked trail, that happened to me one time. I was able to sit down and wait until I heard people to get myself back on the right trail. I was at a trail near the city but I can only imagine a trail out in the boonies is even worse. All I can say is my eyes played tricks on me and I myself couldn’t figure out how I got on the wrong trail. 🤔
The same thing happened to me! I'm a pretty avid hiker and I got lost in the staircase area near Mt Elinor once. It took me a few hours to calm myself down and start again. The feeling of being alone and lost in the middle of nowhere plays tricks on the mind. I couldn't shake the feeling that someone was watching and following me.... still gives me chills.
@@ashleyjuarez526 There were cases of "creatures" sending you to a different dimension. Some have reported that even in the woods they were so familiar with, what was expected to be a 100ft distance became 500ft and the scenery suddenly changes. I haven't experienced any of that yet but it makes you think that there are places that's an entrance to another world(even in folklore) And it's a good thing you survived, especially with you being followed. That means you were a prey....
I was also hiking a staircase area but it’s a desert landscape and everything kind of looks the same after a while at least once the eyes adjust to the surroundings. The feeling of being lost and out of control of a situation is scariest thing. I never went hiking again alone. The mistakes I made was going alone and not letting others at home know where I was going hiking.
@@chromevolt5494 Can you stop? You're trying to explain to someone who actually got lost what "actually" happened. No, he clearly said he got lost. That doesn't mean creatures sent him to a different dimension.
I feel like my request was heard! Thank you 🙏🏻 Interesting cases, this is why I am divided into loving and fearing this beautiful National forest. I go out there to camp and hike but it’s eerie at times but beautiful. I feel sorry for all those disappeared, hopefully we can get to the bottom of what is going on around the world! Thank you once again!
Thanks for the great uploads. As someone who spends a lot of time in Olympic National Park I don't know if this is something I should watch but I am still going to.
who the f*ck brings a 5-6 year old baby on an all day hike on Mount Olympus..?? are these parents crazy? my 5 year old niece will barely walk thru Walmart
When my nephews were about 6 or 7, we ( my sister her husband and I) would go for daylong hikes in the Alpes. We on the trails, the boys running forward upward and sidewards. Back home at night we adults were exhausted , just hanging in the chairs but the boys were full of energy still running around never getting tired..
My son was comfortable hiking all day when he was as young as four. Before that, i had him in a backpack that was made for long hikes. I even carried him to the top of medicine bute when he was just under a year old. Before trains and cars, everyone did it.
Thats an infant not a baby , kids have remarkable energy , ive hiked mt.shasta with my nephews which are 6-10 , you're limiting your kids ability if you never see their limit plus they enjoy the outdoors and brag about there hikes
Thanks for covering my State. I'm a sub from the Olympic Peninsula. If you ever need Photos from the Peninsula I'd be glad to take some. Thanks for another great video
Your research is commendable and your narration highly engaging. The content of your videos is both fascinating and horrifying at the same time. I would love to know what happens to these people and why. May they all Rest In Peace, where ever they may be. Please, keep up the great work with your videos. Remembering these missing people is important, and a warning for others to be cautious and take precautions. Has anyone survived these strange events and lived to tell what happened to them? Please feel free to direct me to their accounts. Thank you.
The narrative could be improved by correct pronunciation of: Shi Shi beach= Shy-shy, and Sequim= Squim. Other instalments of this fellows narratives also are similarly mispronounced like Willamette is really Will am it, and not "will am metty". Obviously not familiar with PCNW locality.
This stuff scares me and fascinates me at the same time. The one's where there is just no trace frighten me the most... There are not just a couple, there are thousands of disappearances... All over the world. This channel is great and I appreciate your work very much. Thank you for all your video's and hard work researching all these disappearances, and all these unexplained events. You give those involved their respect and I appreciate your non judgemental style. Keep up the amazing work. Big fan!!*
I absolutely loved that you noticed the little details that others haven't really came upon or mentioned yet. Love the videos and channel. Keep up the good work!
My favorite place to visit in the park is the Hoh Rainforest.🎄 We've backpacked and slept along the main Hoh trail, a bit spooky at night. Still, so magical. Cant wait to hear these stories, thank you🥰
This is The Best channel. I listen every night as I fall asleep. So many strange yet interesting disappearances. Thank you for the great work you put into each and every case. Bravo my friend😊 👍🙏💗
Great video! I grew up in the Pacific Northwest, so it's interesting to hear these stories, some of which are basically folklore for us at this point. A quick note on the town of Sequim (where I grew up): it's not pronounced "see-quim". We pronounce it "skwim," all in one syllable. It's a small nitpick, but as a native I suppose I feel the need to correct this common mistake haha
Considering he is from the UK I thought he did pretty well with most of the pronunciation in this video and to be fair there's people from Washington state that can't even say Sequim correctly
@@RabidNemo For sure, he did an excellent job on all accounts with this video. You're completely right too, even in Washington if you're not from Sequim there's a good chance you don't know how it's pronounced lol
As someone who has grown up in this area, I think people underestimate how easy it is to get lost, the brush in a lot of areas only allows for 5 feet or less of visibility if you are off trail, and the rip tides at shi shi are deadly. Also a factor that many people don’t take into consideration is the number of predators in the park, though attacks are not common, they do happen, and predators such as cougars will drag their prey and bury it for later feedings. I cannot say this is what happened, but it is a possibility. It’s easy to criticize others in hindsight, but until you are in their shoes, you cannot fully grasp the situation.
NEVER hike alone, NEVER get separated from your companion, ALWAYS hike on established trails, and NEVER leave the trail, not even to relieve yourself. I grew up in Port Angeles and Lake Sutherland... 1950's - 1972. They are on the northern border of the Olympic National Park. As kids we hiked, explored and fished the area around the old Olympic Hot Springs, the Elwha River, Hurricane Ridge, and the beaches out on what we called the West End. When we lived at Lake Sutherland the surrounding forests were our back yard. We never saw anything unusual or scary. That's not to say we were never in any danger, we just weren't aware of any. The first time I recall hearing of a missing person(s) was in 1971. Two boys, 10 and 13, went missing while looking for WWII bunkers in the Agate/Crescent beach area. They have never been found. EDIT: In 1970-ish I met a guy on a logging road near Lake Sutherland. He told me he was growing pot nearby. I later heard he was looking for me because some of his pot plants were missing. I think the main dangers of hiking on the Olympic Peninsula are getting lost and bumping into lawless people who have no regard for life.
I live a few hours drive from this park. There have been several Bigfoot sightings in this park and it wouldn't surprise me if there may be a connection with that. There are so many reputable sightings, I am now a believer. Lone hikers are very unprotected and no one should go hiking alone without a beacon to activate when you are lost. People need to realize that the woods can be very dangerous and they should take every precaution.
BTwa NW .. I agree that Bigfoot could be responsible for some of these disappearances. Derrick Randles of "Olympic Project" has seen Bigfoot twice and has been researching these beings for years.
Oh, FFS. I’ve lived next to ONP for nearly 40 years, have hiked every trail, climbed Mt. Constance, the Brothers, and several other peaks, and have hiked from the Hood Canal to Lake Quinalt, all around Lake Ozette, the High Divide, Seven Lakes Basin, and up and down the Bogachiel, the Queets, the Hoh, the Quinalt, the Humptulips and the Wynoochee rivers salmon fishing and winter steelheading, and never once have I seen anything other than ordinary wildlife. Bears, elk, lynx, mountain lions...but no Bigfoot. The rainforest is dark and thick, and the imagination can make huge stumps and snags look like just about anything, but there is no such thing as fucking Bigfoot.
@@jessicachekaldin5886 I always have firearm when I go into the woods, even in national parks, legal or not. I however don't open carry where it is illegal., but my safety is my responsibility. And a ranger with a weapon is to far away to protect anyone.
Love your videos! This one was a nice blend of various stories, which I liked! While I do enjoy this “shorter” version/dive into a topic, I think the longer videos with deeper dives still grab my attention more. But regardless, love your videos overall, your voice is perfect for this and nice/easy to listen to, plus your humble nature and your outros make you seem very real, relatable, and authentic, which I genuinely admire. So I hope I can help you out with my comments, likes, and views! Great content and it has even inspired a bit me to do some more-depth research of my own for funzies! Cause there’s so much out there, you could probably dig up a whole rabbit hole eventually, by following any story! I barely knew of this type of researching, specifically small events, people, or narratives and retelling them on some platform. It seems like a fun and engaging, almost fulfilling, type of study. 👍
@@4freedomnow887 You're quite right to remind me of that. Where different cultural standards and social norms apply it's best not to make a judgement. Even with the benefit of 20/20 hindsight.🤔 Cheers 👍
Even with so many children coming up missing each year I still see parents allowing their very young children go to the toy dept unsupervised while the parent shops in a different area.
@Don White When I was quite young, (in the early 40's) my mother had to make a phone call and left me sitting outside on a bench. To this day, I do not know why, but I didn't know where she had gone, so wandered off and was found hours later about a mile out of town walking along the highway and brought back. I was the eldest of five and my mother learned from that....and often brought it up as it became a 'learning' experience for her too.
As long as they don't leave them unattended during family reunions statistically they'll be fine. Its really the store employees that face more risk. The creepers are always someone you know right now, someone you don't suspect that comes along when you're exhausted and overwhelmed to graciously keep an eye on lil hunter and tabitha just for a few min..
I always enjoy your in depth research of these strange disappearances in our national parks. Something we aren't able to understand seems to be the overall theme. Thank you for your time and professionalism involving this subject. 🙋🏼see you in the next one.
I always wonder about this missing 411 case. I believe her name was connie she was a cook for a camp. Somehow she ended up at the camp a day early. She only had a walkie talkie and her dog. I'm not sure what time it was but some hunters heard her trying to say something but she kept breaking up. And they couldn't understand what she was trying to say. The next day S&R, volunteers were looking for her and her dog. The dog ended up at the rangers office but connie was nowhere to be found. Nothing tell this day. Can u imagine what her dog witnessed. Very sad. And soo unsettling!
Angelic Torture omg that's strange. I wonder how connie sounded when she was trying to contact someone threw her radio. Was she scared or calm. Ughh I have soo many questions! I'm addicted to this!
Thank you you so much for these uploads. You educate us to be aware when (if any of your listens STILL GO Hiking, that is???) venturing out into the forests. Where do these people go? It's too horrible to contemplate on and my heart goes out to the involved families. Governments NEED to adjust their attitude and Protect the people of whom THEY are supposed to serve, instead of what is currently happening!
I wonder if there are any statistics about successful searches. We always hear about the people that are never found. I’m wondering what percent that is of total searches. These were good stories. Thank you.
I just love the footage you used around the 0:10 timestamp!! I'm sure that finding quality videos of people walking in their bare feet through the forest is not an easy task 🏞😆🌨🎥👣🕵🌩😕🏕 Bravo @Top Mysteries 👏😁👍
That poor boy, I have a six year old daughter can't begin to think how awful losing a child would be, it didn't seem like they had been keeping a good watch of him though :(
You put forth such great content ands visuals enjoy the audio too! Doing great mate thank you for spotlighting these cases and helping the Families. Wes always look fwd to your videos. Ty! 🙌🏽🤍
love the video! I'm from Washington State and found this fascinating. Lot of strange stuff happens out on those native American / former native American lands. I take it from your accent you're from somewhere within the United kingdom. You did an amazing job pronouncing the names of all the local area is some people on TV that live in this state can't even get them right! I highly recommend you visit Washington one day it's a lot like the UK weather wise so I think you'd take to it like a fish to water
Sneaker wave. Not Bigfoot, not aliens, not a pedophile Robinson Crusoe. The kid was most likely washed away in the surf when he got a little too close to the water. It was winter, and winter surf on Olympic beaches can be very high and dangerous. Every year there are idiots who think it’s cool to take selfies on the beach during winter storms and end up getting washed away and drowned. It’s so loud during stormy weather that parents may not even hear a scream, and the kid wouldn’t last long in the freezing water. Bodies don’t always float or wash up on a beach, either.
How would that explain some of their clothes being neatly folded around where they went missing? And why are some of them found, clean, with no clothes? Whatever is taking them might not want any contamination being brought into the base they're being held at?
@@Rainfforestt Maybe a wonderful supernatural being appeared to them & offered them the chance to move to much better place than this earth, where everyone is loving & theres no illness & the weather is great & they told them they wouldn't need warm clothing so they might as well leave it in case someone who needs it finds it? I favour this idea myself. Its so much more pleasant than most of the alternatives.
Exactly. And it’s not like these beaches are crowded. Stranger abduction is not really a viable option on these isolated beaches. Why would a predator hang out in such a spot on the off-chance that some unattended kid would come along? Jesus, city people. The kid drowned when he was washed away. It happens every damn year.
He would have to be a really tough kid. The water.... even in the hottest part of the summer.... is bitter cold. Most people would need a wet suit or something. It's bone chilling cold.
For perspective on this terrain, watch the episode of Alone that was shot in British Columbia. It's true wilderness; if you go off the trails, you might not be able to get back. The forests are dense and the canopy largely impenetrable. The understory is rugged and thick. We have large predators here: cougar, bear, etc. Hikers are warned against hiking alone, and there are sign-in books at the trailheads, which also caution about the park's animals and how best to be safe around them. For example, children should never be last in a line of hikers, because that person is the most vulnerable to attack by cougars. Also, people constantly underestimate the danger on our beaches in Washington. The water is cold, the waves unpredictable, and the currents are fierce. It's never safe to turn your back to the ocean when you're on a beach here. If you get knocked over and pulled out by a wave when the tide is on its way out, it's likely over. The Pacific Ocean is mind-bogglingly huge. Having said all of that, I love living here and wouldn't trade it. Nature here is just wilder than people east of the Rockies are used to, so a lot of our tourists who are National Park experienced are initially surprised.
Documentary Time ! A Recognizable dissapperance happened on a National Park/Mountain climbing happened on Turkey happened a few days ago, unironically, they still couldn't recover the bodies, nor they sure if they are alive, hundreds of units have searched and they can only able to gather a backback and shoe. They still searching, but I call it empty effort, those mountainous forests and tracks are immense, especially in winter, albeit they use Drones and Air Units.
@@EnforcementDronEd209 Also demoralizing. Showing even with the latest technology, literal airborne search units with 21st century search & rescue drones, are not capable of outwitting the nature itself. Humans'll never reach even to Tier 1 in Kardeshev Scale at this point, logcially.
@J. M. AGREED!! I find it completely astonishing that people walk into Nature and then get lost without a trace and people are surprised? Then they blame the searchers or the technology for being woefully behind or under utilized when the fact is they didn't go prepared! Suddenly it's everybody else's fault! Who's the first to be blamed? S.A.R!! That "Missing 411" dude didn't help either. I've done S.A.R. for years including being swift water trained and a Whitewater guide. These people give over there lives to search, all they want to do is rescue someone or at worst bring a family member back home! But to be made to look like your incapable of doing your job correctly or that you don't care is an insult. If you go out? Be prepared!! Stay put if you find your lost! Don't keep wandering around... Your going to get yourself killed and MAYBE someone else! Always tell someone where your going, it doesn't matter if it's a 1/2 mile trek on a path you've done a hundred times! Tell someone and don't DEVIATE!! Know basic survival...compass, starting a fire, a basic shelter, a water source AND ALWAYS PLAN!! Plan for the worst thing you can think of and supply that fear for 72 hours! Truth is if rescue can't find you by then, you become your only hope of survival. Sorry but "missing 411" makes it sound so supernatural but I believe it's very natural! Nature is harsh and people tend to be stupid AF! Thinking they'll "beat it" or "brave it".... But that attitude is what gets you "mysteriously" dead.
THE DORUK... Trust me these efforts are never EMPTY... These people give their lives to find lost people.... Hundreds of hours of searching! Even agonizing over every single minute that goes by without a trace. The worst thing that can happen for a searcher is to never find someone. So no I would not call it EMPTY EFFORT.
What were Bryce's parents thinking when they left him all alone !! The footprints suddenly stopping and reemerging between large space gaps is really bizarre!
I can only imagine what the families have gone through.. no trace, no body, no closure... The boy though, I’ve a 5 year.. even when we go at the groceries, I make sure she stays beside me where I can see her and I live in one of the safest country in the world.. which parents leave a 6 year old walking behind them in a hiking trail in the forest??
What country do you live in? Here in the US, it is very scary. People with guns, economic inequality driving crime, lack of healthcare access make it a very UNsafe place to live.
Ur damn right it is! Because I'm definitely not an alien who is pretending to be a person pretending to be an alien on TH-cam who is a local in the Pacific Northwest. Yeah.
I will say, if you want a possible (but perhaps not likely) natural explanation. There are mountain lions in this area and their hunting strategy is to sneak up behind their prey and break it's neck before they even know the cat is there. They leave very little blood behind and usually move the corpse of their prey. However I still feel like this isn't the best solution to some of these. Also the kid probably drowned and a rip current took the body far offshore. Who leaves a six year old alone on a beach?!
Winter's King Trust me, they leave plenty of blood behind, if they are at a higher elevation, in a tree or on a cliff, they will pounce to knock you down and attempt to break their prey’s neck, but at ground level- they knock you down and go straight for the midsection/gut, they make a particularly nasty mess and if you come upon it, there’s no question whether or not it was a Mtn lion kill! And there would be drag marks and SAR dogs would pick up the scent! And you’re damned right, who in their right mind would leave a 6 year old alone at a beach? That in and of itself shoulda brought charges of negligence!!
@@jacquelyndiamond3301 thanks for clarifying, I'm most familiar with wolves since we have them in my State, but officially we have no mountain lions (unofficially there've been dozens of sightings in the last year alone). Anyway these disappearances always seem strange, I know a body can decompose to nothing in days, but it seems like natural causes would leave more evidence. I have my own theories, but nothing easily provable, let's just say keeping some nice iron on you might be a good idea.
Possibly but unfortunately no theories were given so its difficult to know what the searchers felt had happened. It was just mentioned that searchers found it odd and weren't sure what had happened or where he'd gone
If he was on the beach by himself, it's more than likely/possible that he went in the water, maybe saw a nice rock or a seashell and a wave swept him away.. kids that young are fascinated by water and don't understand the real danger they are in.. with kids that young, You need to have eyes on the back of Your head, I could never leave my nephew on the beach by himself.. or to walk alone somewhere.. it should be common sense.. ☹️💔
I remember reading about a young boy falling into a hole in a sand dune,the dune was once covered with large tree's that had eroded through time, the sand covered about 7 ft
Absolutely, He could have easily been washed away by a sneaker wave. The beach is full of hazards - sneaker waves carrying giant logs and even boulders; freezing cold water, massive undertow and rip currents. Every year a number of adults are killed by these things. Boating accidents, shipwrecks, and drownings are common, especially of those who aren’t familiar with the hazards.
I grew up in that area...the disappearances are astounding out there...it would likely take days to touch on all of them. There is a saying out there that if you needed to hide a body, the Olympic Park is the best place to do it. Morbid but true.
There are SO many more people who go missing here in Washington. It is extremely easy to get lost if you walk off trail. We have people who have gone missing 10 or 15 feet from other people. The hoh rainforest is TERRIFYING. My brother and I were chased out by an animal that we never saw but we could hear it vocalizing as it cased is for an hour and a half while we sprinted down a 13 mile hike. I will absolutely NEVER go anywhere alone in the forests here. I have heard so many stories of missing hikers that I personally do not go without a pack filled with all the necessary things for an emergency. There are cliffs on trails,fast moving water, cougars, Moose, bears not to mention Sasquatch is well know to live here. I know it seems like a joke to people not from here but there are thousands of sightings. It is known not to go anywhere hiking/ camping alone without a weapon and personal locator beacon. So many strange cases where the person just seems to disappear into thin air. If you have ever been alone in a National forest here it doesn’t feel tranquil it feels like someone or something is watching you. While it is incredibly beautiful you never want to forget you’re in a dangerous place miles and miles away from civilization.
I was at mount rainier last august with my girlfriend at an abandoned camping area in the middle of NO WHERE hadnt seen another car in 20 minutes or so. And we were foraging for mushrooms while we had a permit and i had rocks thrown at me from the woods when i approached the tree line. No noises and i couldnt see anything but after that we high tailed it out of there before i get mauled by bigfoot
I agree, last weekend I began seeing weird shit in the trees while hiking, like some little creature is following you yet you dont hear it or see it, only glimpses. Not to mention when you're hiking out there for a while and you see a distant tree-covered mountain it begins to visually look as if its moving away from you and that trips you out.
Definitely agree with you on all of the above! When I was driving out to Brinnon is a section of highway 101 you have to go along before getting out to the coast again that borders the Olympic national Forest and it was creepy. Same thing going out to visit my friend in Sequim there were a couple spots I wanted to pull over and take a picture but something in the back of my head told me not to stop
@@AdventuringwithTrevor Did you smell anything rotten or odd? The natives tell stores of big foot coming down in the night throwing rocks, imitating human speech, and all the stories mentioned a terrible smell! Like rotten fish
That’s scary that someone disappeared on the Ozette loop trail. It’s literally impossible to get lost on the trail. The whole trail is planked and elevated. He had to have been taken by a predator. Bear, cougar, or human. There are a lot of bears in that area. Scary as that is one of my favorite places to visit.
I did one section of the trial or a another trail nearby to Sandpoint a few years back with my family. It is a very easy trail to follow in that section because it is almost entirely wood planks and that parts that are not are very obvious to follow.
I live at the foot of this incredibly gorgeous range , the Olympic National park . I've hiked and climbed all over it since the 70's . It's been my backyard for many years . Until recent years , I'd begun experiencing sortof ominous feelings . Like something wanted me/us to get the hell out or that something awful was about to occur . In all the years I've enjoyed it , I'd never before experienced that . Then I discovered Mr. Paulides . Not much else to say except I miss the area VERY much ! I'm furious that some ..(?) evil , something has invaded some of the most sacred places on this planet . And I want them to get the hell out ! I want my backyard back . And for whatever has been taking humans , animals and doing horrific things to them , to go back to hell ! It's a shame that Top couldn't use actual footage of the park because it's some of the most beautiful places in the world . The pronunciation of the beach where Bryce disappeared is Shy Shy . I remember when this boy went missing . I've camped at Shi Shi several times and one has to understand that his parents turned around and he was gone .
Isreal Keyes didn't help the situation, and we know we haven't found his more gruesome kills, the ones he wasn't as proud of the motive he had for killing.
I live in one of the towns mentioned in the video and I've hike half of the trail mentioned, I may have to look harder next time to see if there's any remains
As a lifelong hiker with extensive experience, I was lost in the Belt Mountains in Montana for 3 days. I knew no one was going to find me as this is heavily forested mountainous terrain. I knew if I didn’t get myself out I would die in there so I became determined to get out. I was lucky to be pretty well prepared with emergency water filter and light down parka which probably saved my life. I don’t think the general public realizes that people can quickly become hypothermic and dehydrated when wandering in wilderness, especially at high altitudes. Both of these things happened to me, but because I had a medical background, I knew what was happening. I was hallucinating all kinds of things because of this but I didn’t let it stop me. There was a time I considered just lying down and going to sleep but I knew that would bring death. I saved myself and eventually walked out of the wilderness on sheer faith in God and willpower. It’s not easy to survive out there and I think some people just give up and the Forrest claims them.
Susan.... yes! Even in the healthiest of people severe dehydration can cause so many problems.... exhaustion, delirium, hallucinations, gut upset.... then add in anxiety from knowing you're lost.... major problems arise. So thankful you shared. It could save someone else's life! God bless!
It's one thing if you get lost or the theory "government is involved " is scary but not nesrly as the thought that suddenly youre in a different place. Dimension. Cant get to your loved ones. Dont have understanding of the creatures you see. Scares the hell outta me.
I actually believe that there are certain places in the world that will lead you to a different dimension altogether. Like a pocket space or something, it's a part of the Earth but was compressed into a limited space.
I'd encourage you to experiment with psilocybin mushrooms, and open up your conscious mind to the other parallels, and higher levels of knowledge and awareness.
I live in the backwoods of VT and the trees can sometimes shift and you're *somewhere* else. I've never seen an entity during these instances, but we have stories of the Fae and I've always been told NOT to eat anything that looks good(even a recognizable berry), and to keep walking! Eventually you'll come out of it.
Veruca Salt Exactly. All this 411 has an explanation, and I love the mystery of it all, but I rarely say, rather posit, explanations, although I’m positive ghosts/the paranormal exist (personal experiences) I wouldn’t go straight X files about most of it. There is a logical explanation, and I believe science just hasn’t caught up yet. The grown up governs logic, but it all really brings out the kid in me. I’m a an open mind skeptic, but the kid in me is all in! (Like, surely there’s a place with talking animals, and unicorns, where the sky is pink pixie dust and cupcakes rain from the sky!😉). Love your moniker, btw. 🤗🌹
Eagles in this part of the world are pretty big they'll pick up a dog the same size as a 6 year old child,, maybe the intermittent footprints are evidence that the child was a bit heavy for the bird
I'm an avid hiker and backpacker, and have done many, many trips out in the wilderness - forests, deserts, National Parks and State or just BLM land. I have no problem dealing with the dangerous and difficult potential issues that can come up during such excursions. But I have not and will not set foot in Olympic. For decades I've heard too many stories, from too many people - and it can't *all* be tall tales and not all of it was hearsay. Just nope.
No disrespect, but If you think that's bad Mt. Rainer National Park is even worse along with Mt. Shasta. Too many stories of disappearances and weird happenings. I have not gone by myself for those reasons.
Several years ago I went into the rain forest in Washington, 3 days in stayed for 3 days and 3 days out. I have not only training in survival but years of experience in extreme back country hiking/camping There is very very strange things in that rain forest, and I can tell you I will never step foot off the path up there ever again.
@@thevelointhevale1132 a good point. But carrying a gun in a concealed way is better than a rifle open like hunters do. If someone is trying to get you and they see you have a gun they'll change plans to account for the firearm. If they dont know you have one then at least you have that on them, and they might not be prepared. I didn't see 411, I should probably watch it
I can't find anything of it but I have heard this Forest is quite haunted. Specifically browns creek camp ground from my experience. I was camping with my gf last summer, the most eerie feeling u have to be there to feel. The camp was relatively empty, maybe 4 other groups of people. Around 1030pm there was an intensely loud siren reminding of one like the purge. You could tell it was a couple hundred of yards thru the thick trees and the noise traveled with ease. Every few minutes for 30 minutes there was a blaring 2 second siren, and it was moving Around us kind of in a half circle FAR. The noise would be on our left, then our right back in front back to the right. It made my hair stand. There was no person there with a speaker that could have projected that noise
Im not sure if anyone else has found that the dates of the 16th and the 29th days of the month are very common for these types of missing encounters, Ive watched so so many and these dates seem to be very regular
I just got back from camping there this past weekend. Beautiful, but gave me the creeps. Out of all the places I have backpacked, it was by far the eeriest. It's just such a vast area, you get the feeling anything could be out there.
Very well done video; thanks. The Gilbert / Paratrooper case is especially odd. A man with that man experience should never have just vanished like that... doesn't make any sense.
Great video! I wasn't aware that so many people have disappeared in this park until I watched this.I feel awful for their families and I wish all of them could find answers as to what happened to their missing loved ones.
I was born and raised in a small town 5 minutes from the Olympic national park. It's beautiful and dangerous. If you don't respect where you are when you're in the forest, it will literally swallow you and odds are you won't be seen again. People get lost because the whole forest looks the same to someone foreign to the area. Most of the time for these mysterious disappearances it's inexperience. I didn't go on an overnight hike in the forest until I was 18 and I went with 4 others and we still got lost. A good rule of thumb is to never be in groups smaller than 3 and always be within earshot if you're an experienced group and within arms reach if you're not so experienced with hiking in the Olympic forest. It's a totally different animal it's so sense at points that sunlight doesn't break through the canopy. It's an experience to say the least .
Parks and are the only place predators can be sure doesn't have every angle covered by ring doorbell camera footage, for now. Even logging roads and non-federal wilderness is spotted with deer cams and motion activated security cameras. But no worries Bill Gates teamed up with DOD this year to have everything surveilled. Read it on the DOD website the day it was announced. I think we might be fearing the wrong threats.
There is something to be noted about places that don't get enough sunlight but survive through resentful force of will. There is no shortage of info on what the vitamin d deficiency does to the paler humans who live in the PNW. See: serial murderer numbers and their ties to the NW. On the other hand I grew up loving horror and jump scares but sitting around a campfire as an almost adult listening to Elwha elders tell me bigfoot campfire stories had me petrified of those woods. Thankfully I didn't work and live in the park anymore. I want to shame myself for being afraid of bigfoot but I can't. I don't know if I believe in bigfoot but i am scared shizless of him.
I don't know if you ever covered the case of Nora Quoirin - this piece of the puzzle fits perfectly. She was mentally challenged to some extent, had gone missing and was later found dead in a place previously searched, with no shoes, right next to the water.
I live across the Olympic peninsula from the Olympics. It's a very strange and creepy place while your over there.. i remember seeing about a few of these people on the news
My family when I was young used to go to Shi Shi every year, we would always go play in the ocean as soon as we got to the beach camp site. The surf there was always very strong, on several occasions we got sucked into the undertow, one of those occasions one of the youngest of our group got pulled in and resurfaced forty feet out in the sea, luckily we had an adult who was a very strong swimmer and was able to swim out with a life preserver and get him before he was overcome by the waves. It would explain a lot about how there was no trace of him. We literally missed him getting pulled under he just disappeared and luckily we were able to see him when he popped up because he was wearing a bright orange t-shirt, otherwise we would have totally lost him.
My goodness, the case of Bryce is very very sad and terrible. I mean come on he was so small still. 😔I'm sure the parents felt beyond at fault and guilty. I cant even imagine! Excellent video tho! Always on point with everything, you are very hardworking and dedicated, thank you so much.⭐💕⭐
If Stephan was that smart, why didn't he travel with appropriate clothing and supplies? Was he incapacitated? David Paulides often talks about the victim not feeling well prior to the victim leaving a safe place. Also, Paulides has related many times how a lot of the people that disappear are German or have Germanic last names.
That's because Germans love to hike in the wilderness. Many of them hike the Alps every year, then look to other places to go once the Alps have lost their charm for them.
Word pronunciation helpers... * Spokane = Spo, as in "oh," Kane, as in "can" * Makkah = Ma, as in "mama," kkah, as in "law," accent on 2nd syllable: Ma KKAH * Port Angeles = As in "Los Angeles" * Sequim = as in skwim to rhyme with "swim"
Well, this certainly changes the story. It takes on an entirely new meaning if the weird pronunciation of kane as can. Thank you so much for this meaningful input.
Loved this video, of course! Only downside was I couldn’t sit down to enjoy it til this morning☺️. Interesting that in all the cases you covered here not so much as a shred of clothing ever found from any of the missing.
Somewhat surprising, but those areas are so vast that if you went far enough off the trail you could easily get injured, a fall or a broken leg, or a medical emergency of some kind. If you're not wearing bright colored clothing it makes it that much more difficult. Then there are predators. You might never know you were being stalked until the animal hits. Some of these parks are in volcanic areas. Some of them could have wound up falling into a lava tube and have no way out. In the Rockies you might find altitude sickness a cause for some of these disappearances. The 411 series actually documented one hiker who did in fact have altitude sickness which was confirmed by two other hikers who he spoke with. I don't believe that one was in the US, but the hikers he stopped and spoke with said he was very ill and he was going in the opposite direction, so they couldn't observe him for long. All of these disappearances have natural explanations.
Hello everyone, It's finally Friday so be sure to have a great and safe weekend and I hope you're having a nice build-up to Christmas. As always, I'm interested in hearing your thoughts on the disappearances discussed so do share.
Disclaimer: Unfortunately, I did not have any access to footage of the Olympic National Park, so footage used is of other National Parks and areas. The animated pictures are all of the Olympic National Park. It was a shame, but unfortunately my hands were tied as I can't use footage without permission unless I can sufficiently transform it enough, which is not always possible.
Top Mysteries I’m just on time cupa tea at the ready 🤙 watching from Ireland 🇮🇪
I always have to wonder if a case like the last one is some sort of a hit for reasons unknown relating to his career.
Another absolute amazing documentary! Beyond love this channel, however Top Mysteries could you check into "unexplained mass pet disappearances?" It's basically like the missing 411 for pets, one min they're in the yard an POOF! They vanish never to be seen again an it's happening at the present time as well. I'm sure you can dig data up on this an it would make a most interesting video. Lastly how about the "dulce base" in New Mexico I believe, very confidential place, alot of conspiracies, but credible sources as well, feel me? Phil Schneider was assinated for speaking about it, research that an D.U.M.B.S deep underground military bases, I think both topics other viewers would find intriguing as well. Just a few ideas for possibly future content would be awesome! Thank you so much an you guys rock brother! Keep them coming!🔝😎🤘🏽💯
Another great episode Sugar. Midcoast Maine person here. Also, the drawings are wicked awesome.
Amazing work man
As a former member of the Coast Guard and a Search and Rescue worker Stationed for decades in the Olympics, I can honestly tell you to never let your kids out of your sight out there, And do not ever travel out there alone, I have seen things that would make you never want to go outside again.
Can you elaborate?
Care to elaborate?
As a hiker and backpacker in the Olympics I would agree a lot of weird thing happened I do solo backpacking and that's usually when weird thing happen
I live in port angeles... the entry to the park is a 2 min drive from me.
& I can say , just as a resident - I've very clearly seen things out here that would make anyone question their entire sense of reality.
Shit that makes big foot look like a teddy bear.
ROTFLMAO at these comments, I live on the Sol Duc river. The scariest things out here are the tourists. It's 4-11-2024 and we have had to save a half a dozen people and recover three that weren't so lucky this year in my region. People do go missing every year, some never found. So be smart and be safe if you go out into the woods today. (and go armed)
Truth is, we don't know as much as we think we do.
Our scientists are failing us so bad.
Totally agree. There’s things we will never know or understand...
So true!
Steve Stiffler i believe science is translated to sorcery or something evil like that.
How do you mean that?
There’s an old Appalachian, Tennessee tale that my great aunt use to tell me about a little boy she went to school with. It came one of those once every ten year snows and the mother sent the 9 year old boy out to get some fresh water from the well that was about 50 yards from the cabin. When the boy didn’t come back her husband and her went out looking for him. They followed his footprints in the snow until they abruptly stopped about 20 ft. from the well. They noticed the water pale laying in the snow a good 50 ft. Away but there were no other tracks. They heard a faint cry but couldn’t tell which direction it was coming from. They stood still and listened carefully. They were both horrified when one of the child’s boots landed directly in front of them having fallen from the sky. They both looked up just in time to hear one last cry that seemed to fade further up into the clouds. This was a true story my great aunt use to tell me and my sister.
Thst is fascinating, and scary.
I absolutely believe it. Either giant eagle or a surviving kind of prehistoric bird like a thunderbird (pterodactyl).
Many disappearances would be attributed to these especially when the victim is found hundreds of miles away.
That exact same scenario happened near a town called Rhayader in Wales in 1909. There was a family gathering at night which included the local pastor, the local veterinarian and other prominent guests. At around 11 pm, eleven year-old Oliver Thomas went out to fetch water from the well. They heard the boy scream and everyone rushed out, the pastor carrying a kerosene lamp. The boy's footsteps went from the door halfway to the well and stopped abruptly. They heard the boy screaming from somewhere above "Help! They're taking me away!" The police were called; they searched the well and every house in the area, but they found nothing. Oliver Thomas was never found.
@@littleredwitch - Do those birds or flying dinosaurs fly at night??
RogueReplicant so sad 😭
I never understood how they let a little boy stay behind, or go off on his own, cause he's tired, or his legs hurt, either someone pick him up and carry him, or someone stay behind with him. That story always bothered me because the pieces don't add up. Love your channel ❤️
Shady Pines Ma I feel like the parents were involved. Idk any parents that would ever do that, especially a kid at that age
@@tysonthomas6029 EXACTLY.
There were no other footprints. It is actually quite easy to get lost by going off-trail for just a hundred yards.
Yes I too was concerned with the little boy story.
They probably left him as a sacrifice.
If my young son can’t walk anymore I carry him a good father would not send his 6 year old son to wait on a beach. The parents should have charges filed against them for child neglect.
It doesn’t matter if there is only one way in and one way out the boy could drown before they got to him. It’s not just me that is a superior parent anyone with common sense doesn’t leave a tiny child alone on a beach.
I agree, my husband nor i would ever leave our child alone in the woods and Shes 12!! Predators, molesters, rapists among creepy shit like this are out there too. They should be jailed. Poor boy.
@Jody Owen
We don't actually know that the child got left do we? From the way it was said, it sounds like one publication assumed the child was left, whilst another said the child went with them, but when the brother turned around, he wasn't there. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure that's what I heard.
Exactly !
Jody Owen don’t pity her daughter, pity the the lil boy that was abandoned beside the Pacific Ocean and disappeared.
Me, a Washington state native sitting in my Washington state home in the wilderness who always goes to Olympic National Forest every summer: “ah yes, I’ll watch this since it’s only 1-2 hours from my house, I live in a forest area this won’t be creep even tho it’s 1 in the morning”
Also me: peaking out my window all paranoid about what or who could be lurking in these woods 😳
I'm moving back to Washington in a couple of months. Really stoked to hike through the Olympic national park. I've mostly focused on the cascades before.
DITTO! I live somewhere in the middle of a forest northwest of Olympia, WA but must admit I love it. A friend told me I should get a trail cam so I can see what's going on outside at night...I told them I don't want to know what's going on out there after dark.
Lol. Same here. I live on Lake Crescent at Olympic National Park and I love creeping myself out by watching videos like that.
I sit 50+ miles away and even looking at the Olympics from my house in Seattle is creepy. Went out to see a friend in Sequim and didn't stop ANYWHERE on the side of the road to take pics
The Mountains of Madness, with apologies to HP Lovecraft.
My husband and I never NEVER let our kids out of our sight on hikes at ANY age. Unbelievable.
Jody Owen Hal
@Jody Owen I agree Jody it's much better for the eventual adult they will be to age appropriately prepare your children to deal with the world than it is just simply hide them from it. I do think society has encouraged us to behave as helicopter parents and it's damaged our children.
@@TheSubygirl I do agree to some of the things you and Judy are saying. However, I think it depends on WHERE you live and what you're living situation is. I have lived in Washington all of my adult life and some of my adolescence. I was very much an outdoorsman as I guided Whitewater trips on most of our WA rivers and a couple in OR. I've also asended Mt. Rainier and was an avid skier. My kids started out with all the amazing things kids should have at first...we lived on a small island in Puget Sound and it was the type of place you didn't worry about locking doors. But life does throw curve balls..so by a very young age there father " pieced" out. I began my life as a single / disabled mother ( from a brain tumor ).
All I can say is I'm glad I taught my kids basic survivor skills...how to swim, to stay put if you get lost, to not approach strange people or animals, how to call 911 ( you'd be surprised how many kids don't know how to call for help!) Be home at a certain time, etc, etc;
This doesn't mean they never had a problem!! To suggest just because you grew up and didn't run into any crisises makes you or you're parents better than others is a bit egocentric and naive! People can be the best of parents, do all the "right" things and still may have a tragedy happen. Consider yourselves LUCKY! Not special children or parents.
Fortunately the things that happened in my kids lives were small basic things, I am greatfull for that, but because of their understanding of how the world works and to their strengths ( also the community we live in )
Alot of parents do not have these things! That doesn't make them or their children damaged in any way! It makes them human ... With maybe a little karma mixed in. Like I said .... Consider yourselves VERY LUCKY.
@Jody Owen please read the post below... I left for you and owl thought
@Jody Owen by learn a lot, i'm sure you mean learn a lot on how NOT to parent.
You never leave a child as young as Bryce alone.
Probably takin for a reptilian sacrifice /pedophilia thing👴👴
👴👴👱👱😘🐍🐍🌕
Yes as a parent I would never for a sec let him go more then 3 ft away and in my field of view hearing and reach
You never leave a kid at any age alone
Jody Owen they might love it, or maybe not, but as a result of hovering over them, they are still there to be angry or happy about it.
I think it’s much easier to get lost than people realize, even on a marked trail, that happened to me one time. I was able to sit down and wait until I heard people to get myself back on the right trail. I was at a trail near the city but I can only imagine a trail out in the boonies is even worse. All I can say is my eyes played tricks on me and I myself couldn’t figure out how I got on the wrong trail. 🤔
The same thing happened to me! I'm a pretty avid hiker and I got lost in the staircase area near Mt Elinor once. It took me a few hours to calm myself down and start again. The feeling of being alone and lost in the middle of nowhere plays tricks on the mind. I couldn't shake the feeling that someone was watching and following me.... still gives me chills.
@@ashleyjuarez526 There were cases of "creatures" sending you to a different dimension.
Some have reported that even in the woods they were so familiar with, what was expected to be a 100ft distance became 500ft and the scenery suddenly changes.
I haven't experienced any of that yet but it makes you think that there are places that's an entrance to another world(even in folklore)
And it's a good thing you survived, especially with you being followed. That means you were a prey....
I was also hiking a staircase area but it’s a desert landscape and everything kind of looks the same after a while at least once the eyes adjust to the surroundings. The feeling of being lost and out of control of a situation is scariest thing. I never went hiking again alone. The mistakes I made was going alone and not letting others at home know where I was going hiking.
Getting lost happens so fast. Stay on the trail always!
@@chromevolt5494 Can you stop? You're trying to explain to someone who actually got lost what "actually" happened. No, he clearly said he got lost. That doesn't mean creatures sent him to a different dimension.
I feel like my request was heard! Thank you 🙏🏻 Interesting cases, this is why I am divided into loving and fearing this beautiful National forest. I go out there to camp and hike but it’s eerie at times but beautiful. I feel sorry for all those disappeared, hopefully we can get to the bottom of what is going on around the world! Thank you once again!
It’s all about insane people who like to kill others… plain and simple
Don’t go into the forest!!!! Duh…..
If the little boy was tired why didn't they pick him up!!!
Thanks for the great uploads. As someone who spends a lot of time in Olympic National Park I don't know if this is something I should watch but I am still going to.
Please be careful!!
Hey Doug, be safe on your travels!
Take a personal locator beacon and a Satellite phone. Way too may people have been swallowed up there. I have read a lot of Missing 411
I can't get enough of your videos on this subject, you do an amazing job and I know it's a lot of work so thanks. Cheers
Thanks so much JB Robertson, appreciated
I really appreciate this video, thank you for creating a quality product and worth watching..❣️
who the f*ck brings a 5-6 year old baby on an all day hike on Mount Olympus..?? are these parents crazy? my 5 year old niece will barely walk thru Walmart
When my nephews were about 6 or 7, we ( my sister her husband and I) would go for daylong hikes in the Alpes. We on the trails, the boys running forward upward and sidewards. Back home at night we adults were exhausted , just hanging in the chairs but the boys were full of energy still running around never getting tired..
My son was comfortable hiking all day when he was as young as four. Before that, i had him in a backpack that was made for long hikes. I even carried him to the top of medicine bute when he was just under a year old. Before trains and cars, everyone did it.
5-6 years old ”baby”🧐🧐🧐
Thats an infant not a baby , kids have remarkable energy , ive hiked mt.shasta with my nephews which are 6-10 , you're limiting your kids ability if you never see their limit plus they enjoy the outdoors and brag about there hikes
@@Woopido_ yes they Are babies
Thanks for covering my State. I'm a sub from the Olympic Peninsula. If you ever need Photos from the Peninsula I'd be glad to take some.
Thanks for another great video
Your research is commendable and your narration highly engaging. The content of your videos is both fascinating and horrifying at the same time. I would love to know what happens to these people and why. May they all Rest In Peace, where ever they may be. Please, keep up the great work with your videos. Remembering these missing people is important, and a warning for others to be cautious and take precautions. Has anyone survived these strange events and lived to tell what happened to them? Please feel free to direct me to their accounts. Thank you.
The narrative could be improved by correct pronunciation of: Shi Shi beach= Shy-shy, and Sequim= Squim. Other instalments of
this fellows narratives also are similarly mispronounced like Willamette is really Will am it, and not "will am metty". Obviously
not familiar with PCNW locality.
@@jockkinne2768 WA has tons of Native American named places that are impossible to know unless you've lived there!
This stuff scares me and fascinates me at the same time. The one's where there is just no trace frighten me the most... There are not just a couple, there are thousands of disappearances... All over the world. This channel is great and I appreciate your work very much. Thank you for all your video's and hard work researching all these disappearances, and all these unexplained events. You give those involved their respect and I appreciate your non judgemental style. Keep up the amazing work. Big fan!!*
I absolutely loved that you noticed the little details that others haven't really came upon or mentioned yet. Love the videos and channel. Keep up the good work!
My favorite place to visit in the park is the Hoh Rainforest.🎄 We've backpacked and slept along the main Hoh trail, a bit spooky at night. Still, so magical.
Cant wait to hear these stories, thank you🥰
I love the Hoh area. It definitely has a magic to it.
YES! The Hoh can seem other-worldly.
One of my favorite places.
This is The Best channel. I listen every night as I fall asleep. So many strange yet interesting disappearances. Thank you for the great work you put into each and every case. Bravo my friend😊 👍🙏💗
As usual, beautiful background scenery image/video selections. It makes listening to the stories that much more pleasurable.
Great video! I grew up in the Pacific Northwest, so it's interesting to hear these stories, some of which are basically folklore for us at this point.
A quick note on the town of Sequim (where I grew up): it's not pronounced "see-quim". We pronounce it "skwim," all in one syllable. It's a small nitpick, but as a native I suppose I feel the need to correct this common mistake haha
Considering he is from the UK I thought he did pretty well with most of the pronunciation in this video and to be fair there's people from Washington state that can't even say Sequim correctly
@@RabidNemo For sure, he did an excellent job on all accounts with this video. You're completely right too, even in Washington if you're not from Sequim there's a good chance you don't know how it's pronounced lol
Thank you for always making great videos
Hey, thank you for the kind words and support, Zedek! Cheers
Top Mysteries your welcome 😃
yes another video! I wanted to say, thank you so much for all the effort you put in the videos :) you're doing a great job!
As someone who has grown up in this area, I think people underestimate how easy it is to get lost, the brush in a lot of areas only allows for 5 feet or less of visibility if you are off trail, and the rip tides at shi shi are deadly. Also a factor that many people don’t take into consideration is the number of predators in the park, though attacks are not common, they do happen, and predators such as cougars will drag their prey and bury it for later feedings. I cannot say this is what happened, but it is a possibility. It’s easy to criticize others in hindsight, but until you are in their shoes, you cannot fully grasp the situation.
NEVER hike alone, NEVER get separated from your companion, ALWAYS hike on established trails, and NEVER leave the trail, not even to relieve yourself. I grew up in Port Angeles and Lake Sutherland... 1950's - 1972. They are on the northern border of the Olympic National Park. As kids we hiked, explored and fished the area around the old Olympic Hot Springs, the Elwha River, Hurricane Ridge, and the beaches out on what we called the West End. When we lived at Lake Sutherland the surrounding forests were our back yard. We never saw anything unusual or scary. That's not to say we were never in any danger, we just weren't aware of any.
The first time I recall hearing of a missing person(s) was in 1971. Two boys, 10 and 13, went missing while looking for WWII bunkers in the Agate/Crescent beach area. They have never been found.
EDIT: In 1970-ish I met a guy on a logging road near Lake Sutherland. He told me he was growing pot nearby. I later heard he was looking for me because some of his pot plants were missing. I think the main dangers of hiking on the Olympic Peninsula are getting lost and bumping into lawless people who have no regard for life.
I live a few hours drive from this park. There have been several Bigfoot sightings in this park and it wouldn't surprise me if there may be a connection with that. There are so many reputable sightings, I am now a believer. Lone hikers are very unprotected and no one should go hiking alone without a beacon to activate when you are lost. People need to realize that the woods can be very dangerous and they should take every precaution.
BTwa NW .. I agree that Bigfoot could be responsible for some of these disappearances. Derrick Randles of "Olympic Project" has seen Bigfoot twice and has been researching these beings for years.
BTwa NW I also dont get why of all places, we are not allowed to bring firearms into the National Parks. of all places..... like that’s so odd!!!
there is definitely going on in our National Parks
Oh, FFS. I’ve lived next to ONP for nearly 40 years, have hiked every trail, climbed Mt. Constance, the Brothers, and several other peaks, and have hiked from the Hood Canal to Lake Quinalt, all around Lake Ozette, the High Divide, Seven Lakes Basin, and up and down the Bogachiel, the Queets, the Hoh, the Quinalt, the Humptulips and the Wynoochee rivers salmon fishing and winter steelheading, and never once have I seen anything other than ordinary wildlife. Bears, elk, lynx, mountain lions...but no Bigfoot. The rainforest is dark and thick, and the imagination can make huge stumps and snags look like just about anything, but there is no such thing as fucking Bigfoot.
@@jessicachekaldin5886 I always have firearm when I go into the woods, even in national parks, legal or not. I however don't open carry where it is illegal., but my safety is my responsibility. And a ranger with a weapon is to far away to protect anyone.
Love your videos! This one was a nice blend of various stories, which I liked! While I do enjoy this “shorter” version/dive into a topic, I think the longer videos with deeper dives still grab my attention more.
But regardless, love your videos overall, your voice is perfect for this and nice/easy to listen to, plus your humble nature and your outros make you seem very real, relatable, and authentic, which I genuinely admire. So I hope I can help you out with my comments, likes, and views!
Great content and it has even inspired a bit me to do some more-depth research of my own for funzies! Cause there’s so much out there, you could probably dig up a whole rabbit hole eventually, by following any story!
I barely knew of this type of researching, specifically small events, people, or narratives and retelling them on some platform. It seems like a fun and engaging, almost fulfilling, type of study. 👍
Were Bryce's parents charged for abandonment?
Oh that's right, grandad was a cop. So they did nothing wrong.🤦
the Indians on the peninsula do things different its a different culture to its own
@@4freedomnow887 You're quite right to remind me of that. Where different cultural standards and social norms apply it's best not to make a judgement. Even with the benefit of 20/20 hindsight.🤔
Cheers 👍
too accurate
Great video. I listen at work and it makes for a great day. Keep up the good work.
Even with so many children coming up missing each year I still see parents allowing their very young children go to the toy dept unsupervised while the parent shops in a different area.
Rhonda Sanborn
Omg me too😱
I would never allow that
@Don White When I was quite young, (in the early 40's) my mother had to make a phone call and left me sitting outside on a bench. To this day, I do not know why, but I didn't know where she had gone, so wandered off and was found hours later about a mile out of town walking along the highway and brought back. I was the eldest of five and my mother learned from that....and often brought it up as it became a 'learning' experience for her too.
As long as they don't leave them unattended during family reunions statistically they'll be fine. Its really the store employees that face more risk. The creepers are always someone you know right now, someone you don't suspect that comes along when you're exhausted and overwhelmed to graciously keep an eye on lil hunter and tabitha just for a few min..
I always enjoy your in depth research of these strange disappearances in our national parks. Something we aren't able to understand seems to be the overall theme. Thank you for your time and professionalism involving this subject. 🙋🏼see you in the next one.
I can't believe those parents for leaving a 6yo to walk alone! 😡☹️ Poor boy.. 💔
Great episode, Thank You TM! ♥️
Cmon they need 2 tuffen up!!!
Even more baffling to me is the irresponsibility of some parents towards their Children!
I always wonder about this missing 411 case. I believe her name was connie she was a cook for a camp. Somehow she ended up at the camp a day early. She only had a walkie talkie and her dog. I'm not sure what time it was but some hunters heard her trying to say something but she kept breaking up. And they couldn't understand what she was trying to say. The next day S&R, volunteers were looking for her and her dog. The dog ended up at the rangers office but connie was nowhere to be found. Nothing tell this day. Can u imagine what her dog witnessed. Very sad. And soo unsettling!
Connie Johnson
That was in idaho. So sad they havent ever found her body
Aye Terrence Woods went missing the same day and in the same area too i believe, dont think there was many miles between the two cases.
Angelic Torture omg that's strange. I wonder how connie sounded when she was trying to contact someone threw her radio. Was she scared or calm. Ughh I have soo many questions! I'm addicted to this!
@@crystaldelosreyes5775 They said hunters had heard her message on radio but were unable to understand what she was saying.
Thank you you so much for these uploads. You educate us to be aware when (if any of your listens STILL GO Hiking, that is???) venturing out into the forests. Where do these people go? It's too horrible to contemplate on and my heart goes out to the involved families. Governments NEED to adjust their attitude and Protect the people of whom THEY are supposed to serve, instead of what is currently happening!

Thank you for another great video. Some of the locations are places I have visited before. My head will be on a swivel during my next outing!! 😱
I wonder if there are any statistics about successful searches. We always hear about the people that are never found. I’m wondering what percent that is of total searches. These were good stories. Thank you.
I just love the footage you used around the 0:10 timestamp!! I'm sure that finding quality videos of people walking in their bare feet through the forest is not an easy task 🏞😆🌨🎥👣🕵🌩😕🏕
Bravo @Top Mysteries 👏😁👍
Great content and extremely relevant to the current "Missing" phenomenon.
Excellent channel, keep up the good work
That poor boy, I have a six year old daughter can't begin to think how awful losing a child would be, it didn't seem like they had been keeping a good watch of him though :(
Thank you for reporting these.
My boys 5 and I'd never let him out my sight especially in a forest, i don't understand some parents mentality
You put forth such great content ands visuals enjoy the audio too! Doing great mate thank you for spotlighting these cases and helping the Families. Wes always look fwd to your videos. Ty! 🙌🏽🤍
love the video! I'm from Washington State and found this fascinating. Lot of strange stuff happens out on those native American / former native American lands. I take it from your accent you're from somewhere within the United kingdom. You did an amazing job pronouncing the names of all the local area is some people on TV that live in this state can't even get them right! I highly recommend you visit Washington one day it's a lot like the UK weather wise so I think you'd take to it like a fish to water
In Bryce case, if I were a detective, I would really lay into that family! There was something going on that day and it was not supernatural.
Aileen Bremner
Agree.
Sneaker wave. Not Bigfoot, not aliens, not a pedophile Robinson Crusoe. The kid was most likely washed away in the surf when he got a little too close to the water. It was winter, and winter surf on Olympic beaches can be very high and dangerous. Every year there are idiots who think it’s cool to take selfies on the beach during winter storms and end up getting washed away and drowned. It’s so loud during stormy weather that parents may not even hear a scream, and the kid wouldn’t last long in the freezing water. Bodies don’t always float or wash up on a beach, either.
Pipsqwak even if it was that, and it might very well be, the family is guilty of child neglect and the parents should face the courts.
People are out in the woods worshipping satan
@@sweezee1541 no
It's as if these disappearing people are walking into some sort of space/time distortion.
00AngelDog00 Maybe they are.
That wouldn't make sense if some of their clothes are left behind neatly folded in some cases.
@@Rainfforestt We have no idea what the temperature would be like in another time and space.
How would that explain some of their clothes being neatly folded around where they went missing? And why are some of them found, clean, with no clothes? Whatever is taking them might not want any contamination being brought into the base they're being held at?
@@Rainfforestt Maybe a wonderful supernatural being appeared to them & offered them the chance to move to much better place than this earth, where everyone is loving & theres no illness & the weather is great & they told them they wouldn't need warm clothing so they might as well leave it in case someone who needs it finds it? I favour this idea myself. Its so much more pleasant than most of the alternatives.
Lol if Bryce was on the beach, and his footprints start and stop, it means a wave washed some of them away. I'm going to say he drowned in the ocean.
Exactly. And it’s not like these beaches are crowded. Stranger abduction is not really a viable option on these isolated beaches. Why would a predator hang out in such a spot on the off-chance that some unattended kid would come along? Jesus, city people. The kid drowned when he was washed away. It happens every damn year.
@@nadnavlis240 Have you ever met police in tiny towns?
He would have to be a really tough kid. The water.... even in the hottest part of the summer.... is bitter cold. Most people would need a wet suit or something. It's bone chilling cold.
I LOVE this channel!
For perspective on this terrain, watch the episode of Alone that was shot in British Columbia. It's true wilderness; if you go off the trails, you might not be able to get back. The forests are dense and the canopy largely impenetrable. The understory is rugged and thick. We have large predators here: cougar, bear, etc. Hikers are warned against hiking alone, and there are sign-in books at the trailheads, which also caution about the park's animals and how best to be safe around them. For example, children should never be last in a line of hikers, because that person is the most vulnerable to attack by cougars.
Also, people constantly underestimate the danger on our beaches in Washington. The water is cold, the waves unpredictable, and the currents are fierce. It's never safe to turn your back to the ocean when you're on a beach here. If you get knocked over and pulled out by a wave when the tide is on its way out, it's likely over. The Pacific Ocean is mind-bogglingly huge.
Having said all of that, I love living here and wouldn't trade it. Nature here is just wilder than people east of the Rockies are used to, so a lot of our tourists who are National Park experienced are initially surprised.
Hell yea! This is my backyard!!! Another great video!
Documentary Time !
A Recognizable dissapperance happened on a National Park/Mountain climbing happened on Turkey happened a few days ago, unironically, they still couldn't recover the bodies, nor they sure if they are alive, hundreds of units have searched and they can only able to gather a backback and shoe. They still searching, but I call it empty effort, those mountainous forests and tracks are immense, especially in winter, albeit they use Drones and Air Units.
Wow! Intriguing....
@@EnforcementDronEd209 Also demoralizing. Showing even with the latest technology, literal airborne search units with 21st century search & rescue drones, are not capable of outwitting the nature itself. Humans'll never reach even to Tier 1 in Kardeshev Scale at this point, logcially.
@@thedoruk6324 Agreed.
@J. M. AGREED!! I find it completely astonishing that people walk into Nature and then get lost without a trace and people are surprised? Then they blame the searchers or the technology for being woefully behind or under utilized when the fact is they didn't go prepared! Suddenly it's everybody else's fault! Who's the first to be blamed? S.A.R!! That "Missing 411" dude didn't help either.
I've done S.A.R. for years including being swift water trained and a Whitewater guide. These people give over there lives to search, all they want to do is rescue someone or at worst bring a family member back home! But to be made to look like your incapable of doing your job correctly or that you don't care is an insult.
If you go out? Be prepared!! Stay put if you find your lost! Don't keep wandering around... Your going to get yourself killed and MAYBE someone else! Always tell someone where your going, it doesn't matter if it's a 1/2 mile trek on a path you've done a hundred times! Tell someone and don't DEVIATE!! Know basic survival...compass, starting a fire, a basic shelter, a water source AND ALWAYS PLAN!! Plan for the worst thing you can think of and supply that fear for 72 hours! Truth is if rescue can't find you by then, you become your only hope of survival.
Sorry but "missing 411" makes it sound so supernatural but I believe it's very natural! Nature is harsh and people tend to be stupid AF! Thinking they'll "beat it" or "brave it".... But that attitude is what gets you "mysteriously" dead.
THE DORUK... Trust me these efforts are never EMPTY... These people give their lives to find lost people.... Hundreds of hours of searching! Even agonizing over every single minute that goes by without a trace. The worst thing that can happen for a searcher is to never find someone. So no I would not call it EMPTY EFFORT.
What were Bryce's parents thinking when they left him all alone !! The footprints suddenly stopping and reemerging between large space gaps is really bizarre!
Maybe you need to listen again. There are conflicting stories, Bryce may have been with them and lagged behind.
That was very interesting and informative. Thank you
I can only imagine what the families have gone through.. no trace, no body, no closure... The boy though, I’ve a 5 year.. even when we go at the groceries, I make sure she stays beside me where I can see her and I live in one of the safest country in the world.. which parents leave a 6 year old walking behind them in a hiking trail in the forest??
What country do you live in? Here in the US, it is very scary. People with guns, economic inequality driving crime, lack of healthcare access make it a very UNsafe place to live.
Mrs. M I live in Singapore. We relatively don’t have the same societal problems like what you guys have in the states.

Great presentation of facts combined with visuals that provide context of the environment.
I will say, if you want a possible (but perhaps not likely) natural explanation. There are mountain lions in this area and their hunting strategy is to sneak up behind their prey and break it's neck before they even know the cat is there. They leave very little blood behind and usually move the corpse of their prey.
However I still feel like this isn't the best solution to some of these. Also the kid probably drowned and a rip current took the body far offshore. Who leaves a six year old alone on a beach?!
Winter's King Trust me, they leave plenty of blood behind, if they are at a higher elevation, in a tree or on a cliff, they will pounce to knock you down and attempt to break their prey’s neck, but at ground level- they knock you down and go straight for the midsection/gut, they make a particularly nasty mess and if you come upon it, there’s no question whether or not it was a Mtn lion kill! And there would be drag marks and SAR dogs would pick up the scent!
And you’re damned right, who in their right mind would leave a 6 year old alone at a beach?
That in and of itself shoulda brought charges of negligence!!
@@jacquelyndiamond3301 thanks for clarifying, I'm most familiar with wolves since we have them in my State, but officially we have no mountain lions (unofficially there've been dozens of sightings in the last year alone). Anyway these disappearances always seem strange, I know a body can decompose to nothing in days, but it seems like natural causes would leave more evidence. I have my own theories, but nothing easily provable, let's just say keeping some nice iron on you might be a good idea.
Jacquelyn Diamond
You’re 100% correct, charges of negligence or endangerment should have been brought against the so called “parents.”
Could the child on the beach have been swept into the water by a rip tide, and maybe the intermittent footprints were washed away in certain spots?
Possibly but unfortunately no theories were given so its difficult to know what the searchers felt had happened. It was just mentioned that searchers found it odd and weren't sure what had happened or where he'd gone
The intermittent child's footprints seems baffling. If someone had picked him up, they would have also left footprints. Very odd.
If he was on the beach by himself, it's more than likely/possible that he went in the water, maybe saw a nice rock or a seashell and a wave swept him away.. kids that young are fascinated by water and don't understand the real danger they are in.. with kids that young, You need to have eyes on the back of Your head, I could never leave my nephew on the beach by himself.. or to walk alone somewhere.. it should be common sense.. ☹️💔
I remember reading about a young boy falling into a hole in a sand dune,the dune was once covered with large tree's that had eroded through time, the sand covered about 7 ft
Absolutely, He could have easily been washed away by a sneaker wave. The beach is full of hazards - sneaker waves carrying giant logs and even boulders; freezing cold water, massive undertow and rip currents. Every year a number of adults are killed by these things. Boating accidents, shipwrecks, and drownings are common, especially of those who aren’t familiar with the hazards.
I grew up in that area...the disappearances are astounding out there...it would likely take days to touch on all of them. There is a saying out there that if you needed to hide a body, the Olympic Park is the best place to do it. Morbid but true.
Great video-your hard work is obvious :) xx
There are SO many more people who go missing here in Washington. It is extremely easy to get lost if you walk off trail. We have people who have gone missing 10 or 15 feet from other people. The hoh rainforest is TERRIFYING. My brother and I were chased out by an animal that we never saw but we could hear it vocalizing as it cased is for an hour and a half while we sprinted down a 13 mile hike. I will absolutely NEVER go anywhere alone in the forests here. I have heard so many stories of missing hikers that I personally do not go without a pack filled with all the necessary things for an emergency. There are cliffs on trails,fast moving water, cougars, Moose, bears not to mention Sasquatch is well know to live here. I know it seems like a joke to people not from here but there are thousands of sightings. It is known not to go anywhere hiking/ camping alone without a weapon and personal locator beacon. So many strange cases where the person just seems to disappear into thin air. If you have ever been alone in a National forest here it doesn’t feel tranquil it feels like someone or something is watching you. While it is incredibly beautiful you never want to forget you’re in a dangerous place miles and miles away from civilization.
I was at mount rainier last august with my girlfriend at an abandoned camping area in the middle of NO WHERE hadnt seen another car in 20 minutes or so. And we were foraging for mushrooms while we had a permit and i had rocks thrown at me from the woods when i approached the tree line. No noises and i couldnt see anything but after that we high tailed it out of there before i get mauled by bigfoot
I agree, last weekend I began seeing weird shit in the trees while hiking, like some little creature is following you yet you dont hear it or see it, only glimpses. Not to mention when you're hiking out there for a while and you see a distant tree-covered mountain it begins to visually look as if its moving away from you and that trips you out.
Definitely agree with you on all of the above! When I was driving out to Brinnon is a section of highway 101 you have to go along before getting out to the coast again that borders the Olympic national Forest and it was creepy. Same thing going out to visit my friend in Sequim there were a couple spots I wanted to pull over and take a picture but something in the back of my head told me not to stop
@@AdventuringwithTrevor Did you smell anything rotten or odd? The natives tell stores of big foot coming down in the night throwing rocks, imitating human speech, and all the stories mentioned a terrible smell! Like rotten fish
That’s scary that someone disappeared on the Ozette loop trail. It’s literally impossible to get lost on the trail. The whole trail is planked and elevated. He had to have been taken by a predator. Bear, cougar, or human. There are a lot of bears in that area. Scary as that is one of my favorite places to visit.
More like a Thunderbird !
I did one section of the trial or a another trail nearby to Sandpoint a few years back with my family. It is a very easy trail to follow in that section because it is almost entirely wood planks and that parts that are not are very obvious to follow.
I live at the foot of this incredibly gorgeous range , the Olympic National park . I've hiked and climbed all over it since the 70's . It's been my backyard for many years . Until recent years , I'd begun experiencing sortof ominous feelings . Like something wanted me/us to get the hell out or that something awful was about to occur . In all the years I've enjoyed it , I'd never before experienced that . Then I discovered Mr. Paulides . Not much else to say except I miss the area VERY much ! I'm furious that some ..(?) evil , something has invaded some of the most sacred places on this planet . And I want them to get the hell out ! I want my backyard back . And for whatever has been taking humans , animals and doing horrific things to them , to go back to hell ! It's a shame that Top couldn't use actual footage of the park because it's some of the most beautiful places in the world . The pronunciation of the beach where Bryce disappeared is Shy Shy . I remember when this boy went missing . I've camped at Shi Shi several times and one has to understand that his parents turned around and he was gone .
Isreal Keyes didn't help the situation, and we know we haven't found his more gruesome kills, the ones he wasn't as proud of the motive he had for killing.
Thank you always great videos+narration 🌹
I live in one of the towns mentioned in the video and I've hike half of the trail mentioned, I may have to look harder next time to see if there's any remains
Great job, love what u r doing keep it up .
As a lifelong hiker with extensive experience, I was lost in the Belt Mountains in Montana for 3 days. I knew no one was going to find me as this is heavily forested mountainous terrain. I knew if I didn’t get myself out I would die in there so I became determined to get out. I was lucky to be pretty well prepared with emergency water filter and light down parka which probably saved my life. I don’t think the general public realizes that people can quickly become hypothermic and dehydrated when wandering in wilderness, especially at high altitudes. Both of these things happened to me, but because I had a medical background, I knew what was happening. I was hallucinating all kinds of things because of this but I didn’t let it stop me. There was a time I considered just lying down and going to sleep but I knew that would bring death. I saved myself and eventually walked out of the wilderness on sheer faith in God and willpower. It’s not easy to survive out there and I think some people just give up and the Forrest claims them.
Thanks for sharing. That is terrifying!
Susan.... yes! Even in the healthiest of people severe dehydration can cause so many problems.... exhaustion, delirium, hallucinations, gut upset.... then add in anxiety from knowing you're lost.... major problems arise. So thankful you shared. It could save someone else's life! God bless!
You make the best video's and I love your voice.
It's one thing if you get lost or the theory "government is involved " is scary but not nesrly as the thought that suddenly youre in a different place. Dimension. Cant get to your loved ones. Dont have understanding of the creatures you see. Scares the hell outta me.
Yes. Terrifying!
I actually believe that there are certain places in the world that will lead you to a different dimension altogether.
Like a pocket space or something, it's a part of the Earth but was compressed into a limited space.
The ONP isn't scary. It's beautiful and much safer than most cities.
I'd encourage you to experiment with psilocybin mushrooms, and open up your conscious mind to the other parallels, and higher levels of knowledge and awareness.
I live in the backwoods of VT and the trees can sometimes shift and you're *somewhere* else. I've never seen an entity during these instances, but we have stories of the Fae and I've always been told NOT to eat anything that looks good(even a recognizable berry), and to keep walking! Eventually you'll come out of it.
I like how you targeted your video on one specific area. Ofc it was a good video as always!

Intermittent, mysterious little footprints really creeps me out! 😳
Where the heck do these people go?
lotus flower, perhaps another dimension? Certainly perplexing!
Veruca Salt
Exactly. All this 411 has an explanation, and I love the mystery of it all, but I rarely say, rather posit, explanations, although I’m positive ghosts/the paranormal exist (personal experiences) I wouldn’t go straight X files about most of it.
There is a logical explanation, and I believe science just hasn’t caught up yet.
The grown up governs logic, but it all really brings out the kid in me. I’m a an open mind skeptic, but the kid in me is all in! (Like, surely there’s a place with talking animals, and unicorns, where the sky is pink pixie dust and cupcakes rain from the sky!😉).

Eagles in this part of the world are pretty big they'll pick up a dog the same size as a 6 year old child,, maybe the intermittent footprints are evidence that the child was a bit heavy for the bird
I'm an avid hiker and backpacker, and have done many, many trips out in the wilderness - forests, deserts, National Parks and State or just BLM land. I have no problem dealing with the dangerous and difficult potential issues that can come up during such excursions.
But I have not and will not set foot in Olympic. For decades I've heard too many stories, from too many people - and it can't *all* be tall tales and not all of it was hearsay.
Just nope.
No disrespect, but If you think that's bad Mt. Rainer National Park is even worse along with Mt. Shasta. Too many stories of disappearances and weird happenings. I have not gone by myself for those reasons.

@@thevelointhevale1132 a good point. But carrying a gun in a concealed way is better than a rifle open like hunters do.

I can't find anything of it but I have heard this Forest is quite haunted. Specifically browns creek camp ground from my experience. I was camping with my gf last summer, the most eerie feeling u have to be there to feel. The camp was relatively empty, maybe 4 other groups of people. Around 1030pm there was an intensely loud siren reminding of one like the purge. You could tell it was a couple hundred of yards thru the thick trees and the noise traveled with ease. Every few minutes for 30 minutes there was a blaring 2 second siren, and it was moving Around us kind of in a half circle FAR. The noise would be on our left, then our right back in front back to the right. It made my hair stand. There was no person there with a speaker that could have projected that noise
Im not sure if anyone else has found that the dates of the 16th and the 29th days of the month are very common for these types of missing encounters, Ive watched so so many and these dates seem to be very regular
Rebecca Marshall
Fascinating observation, thanks for sharing.
today is the 16th.... shit
Another enjoyable video. Ty!
I just got back from camping there this past weekend. Beautiful, but gave me the creeps. Out of all the places I have backpacked, it was by far the eeriest. It's just such a vast area, you get the feeling anything could be out there.
Why in the he'll would you leave a six year old boy at the end of the line and not even the mother watching him? That's very negligent!
Very well done video; thanks. The Gilbert / Paratrooper case is especially odd. A man with that man experience should never have just vanished like that... doesn't make any sense.

@@susan7775 in those circumstances? seems unlikely....
Great video! I wasn't aware that so many people have disappeared in this park until I watched this.I feel awful for their families and I wish all of them could find answers as to what happened to their missing loved ones.
I was born and raised in a small town 5 minutes from the Olympic national park. It's beautiful and dangerous. If you don't respect where you are when you're in the forest, it will literally swallow you and odds are you won't be seen again. People get lost because the whole forest looks the same to someone foreign to the area. Most of the time for these mysterious disappearances it's inexperience. I didn't go on an overnight hike in the forest until I was 18 and I went with 4 others and we still got lost. A good rule of thumb is to never be in groups smaller than 3 and always be within earshot if you're an experienced group and within arms reach if you're not so experienced with hiking in the Olympic forest. It's a totally different animal it's so sense at points that sunlight doesn't break through the canopy. It's an experience to say the least .
Parks and are the only place predators can be sure doesn't have every angle covered by ring doorbell camera footage, for now. Even logging roads and non-federal wilderness is spotted with deer cams and motion activated security cameras. But no worries Bill Gates teamed up with DOD this year to have everything surveilled. Read it on the DOD website the day it was announced. I think we might be fearing the wrong threats.
There is something to be noted about places that don't get enough sunlight but survive through resentful force of will. There is no shortage of info on what the vitamin d deficiency does to the paler humans who live in the PNW. See: serial murderer numbers and their ties to the NW.
On the other hand I grew up loving horror and jump scares but sitting around a campfire as an almost adult listening to Elwha elders tell me bigfoot campfire stories had me petrified of those woods. Thankfully I didn't work and live in the park anymore. I want to shame myself for being afraid of bigfoot but I can't. I don't know if I believe in bigfoot but i am scared shizless of him.
I don't know if you ever covered the case of Nora Quoirin - this piece of the puzzle fits perfectly. She was mentally challenged to some extent, had gone missing and was later found dead in a place previously searched, with no shoes, right next to the water.
Wow, these cases are so interesting
I live across the Olympic peninsula from the Olympics. It's a very strange and creepy place while your over there.. i remember seeing about a few of these people on the news
I don’t understand hiking alone, or leaving a child to hike following the family ( common sense! )Sadly this happens too often in state parks.
Kids should be right in front of you, so they don't get lost. Always.
Child left sounds like child died and parents covering it up rather than own up to responsibility.
the more stories like this that i hear ... the more stories i want to hear...nice job
My family when I was young used to go to Shi Shi every year, we would always go play in the ocean as soon as we got to the beach camp site. The surf there was always very strong, on several occasions we got sucked into the undertow, one of those occasions one of the youngest of our group got pulled in and resurfaced forty feet out in the sea, luckily we had an adult who was a very strong swimmer and was able to swim out with a life preserver and get him before he was overcome by the waves. It would explain a lot about how there was no trace of him. We literally missed him getting pulled under he just disappeared and luckily we were able to see him when he popped up because he was wearing a bright orange t-shirt, otherwise we would have totally lost him.
My goodness, the case of Bryce is very very sad and terrible. I mean come on he was so small still. 😔I'm sure the parents felt beyond at fault and guilty. I cant even imagine!
Excellent video tho! Always on point with everything, you are very hardworking and dedicated, thank you so much.⭐💕⭐
If Stephan was that smart, why didn't he travel with appropriate clothing and supplies? Was he incapacitated? David Paulides often talks about the victim not feeling well prior to the victim leaving a safe place. Also, Paulides has related many times how a lot of the people that disappear are German or have Germanic last names.
That's because Germans love to hike in the wilderness. Many of them hike the Alps every year, then look to other places to go once the Alps have lost their charm for them.
That's why I don't go hiking or camping anymore, I'm of German descent.
Word pronunciation helpers...
* Spokane = Spo, as in "oh," Kane, as in "can"
* Makkah = Ma, as in "mama," kkah, as in "law," accent on 2nd syllable: Ma KKAH
* Port Angeles = As in "Los Angeles"
* Sequim = as in skwim to rhyme with "swim"
At least he got Clallam County right
Keep in mind, americans actually mispronounce a lot of english words and people across the pond say and pronounce things differently.
And Shi Shi is pronounced shy-shy
Cen-trail-ya
Well, this certainly changes the story. It takes on an entirely new meaning if the weird pronunciation of kane as can. Thank you so much for this meaningful input.
Unbelievable how irresponsible some parents can be, unless they are the cause of his disappearance. Something that happens often.
Loved this video, of course! Only downside was I couldn’t sit down to enjoy it til this morning☺️.
Interesting that in all the cases you covered here not so much as a shred of clothing ever found from any of the missing.
Somewhat surprising, but those areas are so vast that if you went far enough off the trail you could easily get injured, a fall or a broken leg, or a medical emergency of some kind. If you're not wearing bright colored clothing it makes it that much more difficult. Then there are predators. You might never know you were being stalked until the animal hits. Some of these parks are in volcanic areas. Some of them could have wound up falling into a lava tube and have no way out. In the Rockies you might find altitude sickness a cause for some of these disappearances. The 411 series actually documented one hiker who did in fact have altitude sickness which was confirmed by two other hikers who he spoke with. I don't believe that one was in the US, but the hikers he stopped and spoke with said he was very ill and he was going in the opposite direction, so they couldn't observe him for long. All of these disappearances have natural explanations.
