Hey all, Each individual in this video vanished under strange circumstances and whether found or not, believed that in some fashion, they had been followed / stalked / generally were not alone during the duration of their time spent missing. There are truly some pretty weird ones in here. Be safe all & have a great weekend
It is why my bf & I left after 2 nites tent camping in far North Wisconsin, in our 20s. Stones thrown at my bf by the fire Steps up fast behind us,,walking in pitch dark to the restroom, etc.
It would be funny for behavioural scientists to discover that bears have secret society roles for the forest, like 'the human sweep' patrol that wanders looking for stray humans, only to return them to what they think of as the 'designated drop-off point'. I like to picture some daddy bear on patrol, calling the wife like "yeah, i'mma be late. Gotta pop these kids in the return slot."
I can vouche for how vivid sleep deprivation hallucinations can be and how easy it is for them to occur. I used to work a night shift and starting off I couldn't adjust so I ended up sleeping maybe 4 or so hours a night. It took a few weeks to hit, but I would see simple shadows as full on people and things like that, its kinda surreal and scared me at first. truck drivers i know often have to work long long hours and sleep deprivation is not uncommon. I'm very happy that the police did as much as they did for the last person, with offering to take him to the hospital and checking for drugs, etc. so many cops would just dismiss him outright.
The Missing Enigma channel recently did a long video on the first case where he showed the police interview of the brother. Basically seems like drugs could have been involved and in general the people were just very sketchy
Was looking at the comments just to make sure someone mentioned this. All his details make this case a lot different, but no less extremely... weird. I love that channel.
The police interview with Eddy is *super interesting* and weird. There’s something wrong with him and his sister, like mentally. Or maybe it’s drugs. Eddy is a weird person and he says weird stuff. Their stories don’t fully match but the stuff that shouldn’t, did match. They see cars and people which could have obviously helped their predicament but they didn’t approach them “cuz her feet hurt from all the walking” (this is 3 days lost, btw). They also thought the car was a hallucination. But how do they both hallucinate the same thing? Everything is weird and I can’t decide if I believe them or not (I don’t. They are weird) because the interview is…. WEIRD! Check it out if you all have time. Not sure what Eddy’s last name is but sister’s name is Linda Atrega.
Yeah for me there has to be drugs involved because the hallucinations thing just didn’t make sense. There is point where they said one of them ate some berries or something that made them hallucinate yet apparently only one of them ate the berries yet they both hallucinated?. He had actually been charged with murder before where he said the guy shit himself with his gun 🤔 He actually left it a whole day and a half before he contacted the police as well. Very strange and odd people .
With regards to the first incident... there's a small copse of trees on the edge of my town with a path that leads over the river and towards a neighbourhood on the far side of town. Most people don't use it especially at night. About twenty years ago a friend I knew used to walk that way to and from, at night to visit his then girlfriend. He always used to say that there were people standing among the trees silently watching him. I always thought it was his imagination, One night I went that way to visit a friend and although I never saw anybody, there was a definite sense of a presence or of people watching me. Very uncomfortable. Never went that way by night ever again.
it could be something similar to a "dark watcher" phenomenon. no one is sure what they are but in some areas of the USA, especially the mountains in CA people see dark shadowy human figures (even with hats) just staring, but when you get closer they vanish. some theories is its a type of mirage, but of course paranormal theories abound as well. all it takes is for you to think someones watching for us to get freaked out.

Same thought: What kind of brother 1. Doesn't recognize his own sister? 2. After 4 days lost in the wilderness doesn't even go over to her and check to see how she is? Very sus. Was he attempting to murder her by losing her in the forest? Giving Hansel and Gretel step-mom vibes.
@@MissingVoidTV I listened the police interview with eddie and the whole interview was so scrambled, like he was answering same questions 3 different ways.

Really stupid he was, propably couldn't spell his own name, for sure couldn't spell hers.
I live in St Joe Arkansas. This first story is very strange, because there is no way you could get lost here. The park land is very small, and the rest is all cow pastures and farm houses. I've tried to find a camping spot to get away from the sounds of traffic and civilization, but it's virtually impossible. Wouldn't be surprised if substances were involved...
who returns without their sister from a hike, sees a "figure" on their neighbors porch and says "oh that's my sister, I'll say nothing to her. Time for bed!"
You can get lost or turned around in any forrest. Everything looks the same. However, I am suspicious of the brother. How do you find your way out, go home, & rest? He didn't confirm that his sister was sitting on the porch, or go make sure she was ok??? What kinda brother acts like that? He didn't ask about her or tell someone their story?? Very bizarre indeed! Maybe the folks in the woods that Linda saw were some type of alien or cryptid. Let's not just skip to drug use. Many possibilities. 😎
Many of these stories give insight into the workings of the human mind under stress (and/or ellicit substances), which researchers do not fully understand.
Hey Adam. This is weird AF. Just after watching a video on a completely different channel which featured THIS Artega case. Then I switch over for my weekly Friyay night episode of Top Mysteries to find the same case. I'd never heard of this case before tonight - thanks for another great episode. Love & support from Glasgow. Johnnie. 🏴🥳
Cheers Johnnie! Yeah I hadn't realized another channel had covered it recently, I probably wouldn't have covered the same so soon, there are plenty of others following this guideline that I could've reported on instead!
I live in Arkansas right in the middle of the ozarks. Yes extremely dense woods, hills, and forestry. Having said that, there are no reports of people in the woods at night watching hikers, campers, or anybody else. That was completely fabricated or they were hallucinating.
So happy you uploaded. I hadn't received any notification from your channel in months. Gotta love yt 🙄 Good thing is, I've got a pile of videos to binge on ❤ Love your channel and it is truely inspiring how kind and genuinely thoughtful you are when discussing these cases. You had me with being so understanding and knowledgeable about Autism as my 11 year old is autistic. Thank you for all your hard work. God bless you and yours 🙏 💕 ❤ -Tina Edited: Btw, I am so ordering that coffee mug in a couple of weeks.. "Let's get bizarre." Can't wait! I hope there's another one that says, "It's about to get weird!" 😊😊
I just watched the interview/interrogation of the brother in the Ortega case. Totally baffling. He also saw people and trucks that apparently Were not there while with his sister , and while alone. Great video! Thx!
Love the content! You deserve way more subscribers than you currently have. Hoping to see you hit that 1million mark in 2024 🤞. Keep up the great stuff!
Im so pumped u uploaded a new video!!🙌🏽 ur channel and content is my absolute favorite on TH-cam. U always do the most interesting, mysterious content🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Always a great video and your voice sounds awesome and clear on narrating the Investigations. You Get Sucked into the stories, plus great fact checking. These situations of kids with unknown entities are so bizarre. Great job.💯🙏🇬🇧
Always find these stories way more interesting because of your voice/accent. I follow david paulides and its nice to hear you giving him credit for some of these. I think It's good to get the word out by different means as long as you keep it straight (as possible). Always look forward to the howl in the beginning. My dogs ears always perk up
Linda Artega's friend/brother (?) Eddie apparently had a very confusing nonsensical interview with the police when Linda was reported missing. The Missing Enigma just uploaded a video detailing the interview.
Animal behaviorist here! It is true that bears are not known to behave in this way. However there are numerous examples throughout history of wild animals acting entirely out of character when faced with lost human children. There was a case in Uganda where vervet monkeys looked after a small boy for an extended period of time. And another such occurrence which took place in India saw wolves treat a child in this manner. With that said I believe Casey when he says a bear took care of him.
I don't think folk respect what children say sufficiently. Adults are so quick to dismiss what they say as imagination or lying, but children are super smart. They aren't liars (until taught by adults there's no point telling the truth 🙄🙄). I've always noticed animals generally have a sensitivity to baby mammals and they know children are infant mammals and can behave quite differently around them so I'm glad to hear my personal observations validated by an animal behaviourist!!!
Everywhere on earth ya find stories of kids raised by animals. We came into this shit hunting shit with pointed sticks and hiding at night from things with bright eyes and sharp teeth, I don't think we woulda made up those stories so reliably if it NEVER happened. Mammals are kinda weird, dogs will take care of kittens, cows will nurse donkeys, I'd say if the options are ghosts, aliens, a kidnap-and-return system, or a bear... actually, a bear dont seem that crazy, and the child that is old enough to speak fuckin said it was a bear...
*I have some personal info on Linda and eddy. I saw some comments from people who knew Linda and eddy* . They were an ER nurse in their town and said the whole family was VERY VERY slow and also meth users. They said the three boys in the family would be in the ER constantly because they would fight with eachother over who got to SLEEP with their mom that night. As adults. And not sleep like sleep next to but have sex with. If you watch Eddie’s interofstion he’s high on meth (they likely both were) and he’s very slow already. When you do meth you see shadow people. That’s typical. So without food and water and high on meth for days it’s no surprise Linda thought she saw shit. People see shit in their homes and in bed. But they went into the woods with NO WATER or FOOD and FLIP FLOPS. They had very little survival techniques. But she was able to collect water and eat berries.
I love that you include reading from news outlets! I've never seen a channel like this do that like you do. It definitely brings a realistic and human element to these events, which makes them more than just a spooky story. Well done!
@TOP MYSTERIES I am a native of eastern North Carolina and to answer one of your questions....NC is home to the black bear, and most of the bears do hibernate (esp females) but their hibernation is much shorter than bears up north. Coastal NC temps do get cold but we dont have weeks and weeks of frigid temps...it fluctuates. We might have a week of freezing temps and then warm up to the 50's for a week so our bears hibernate late Nov to March/April. Whats interesting is, where Casey is from is exactly where the most black bears in NC are located...4 bears per square mile!! The other interesting thing is...the area where Casey was has had plenty of bigfoot and dogman sightings/encounters....and just an interesting bit of info is, Craven county is very old and historical place...founded in 1712 as the capitol of the colony of NC and the very first capitol of what would become the USA!!! Blackbeard the pirate was from nearby Bath, NC so for those who believe in paranormal things this are is well known for its ghost legends mand hauntings. Personally, I would NEVER want to be lost in that swamp!!!
Linda's case can be one of the most enigmatic ordeals. While being delusional must be considered as part of the lost person's state of mind, the possibility of the events that the person describe, weird as it may be, must not be easily dismissed. Thanks for sharing! 🌻
It seems like it was dismissed without a second thought. I'm curious as to what their reasoning was for doing so? I think it should've been looked into, because what if it really did happen just like she said it did?!
I think she probably ate desdly nightshade or datura when she started foraging as all her delusions ,state of mind and delerium follow exactly the effects of scopolamine
I think that’s been the case in a few of the cases where a person was found after being lost in the wilderness, and claimed they saw people who wouldn’t speak to them or hid from them. Certain berries and mushrooms, or creek water, especially in combination with fear and lack of sleep, can cause hallucinations.
After watching these videos, has anyone else stopped believing anything the friends or family say, especially when they were the last ones to see the missing person? Like... I'm certain all sorts of cases would be mysterious, if we always believed the stories from people involved. "I locked up the store that night, the next morning all the money was gone! It was a ghost robber!"
Yeah, I definitely get what you're saying. Especially when I watch "haunting " type stories. I absolutely without a doubt believe in supernatural occurances and also believe there are probably a great deal of people vanishing under strange or unexplainable circumstances, however..I have a lot of skepticism when learning about such stories. Especially when the families have a huge arsenal of information on the occurances and what not.
A child like Casey may not equate a bear as being big and ferocious but more teddy bear like and therefore through his eyes thought a smaller more docile animal was a bear, maybe they settled down together at night to keep warm, who knows ❤
Certainly possible, I remember covering a story sometime ago about a boy that disappeared with his dog and he huddled up with the dog overnight to stay warm
@@MissingVoidTV I used to have a big, fluffy, cuddly as sin Maine Coon that I bet a 3 year old could mistake for a bear, and I KNOW would keep em warm... until it started to rain, then she woulda bolted home, but stll.
The first story you talked about wasn’t really the way it happened. Eddie never claimed he saw her on the porch. You can hear the interview with police on missing enigma channel
Bears don't hibernate in North Carolina all winter and in some cases don't hibernate at all in Southern states including North Carolina especially near the coast where Craven County is located.
I know people will think I am stupid but I wholeheartedly believe that there are portals in our forests. I believe once they enter a portal they can hear and see people but searchers and other cant see or hear them. Its kinda the only explination. Keep up the good work, you are one of my favorites. I just wish you put videos out every day. Lol
IT'S BIGFOOT! A bear doesn't have human emotions he would have seen that child as meal. Bigfoot is somewhat part human so he would have a nurturing side and want to take care of that little boy.
The arteaga/huff case is just a bit misrepresented in this presentation - after researching it, I come to the conclusion that this was a case of two tweakers hallucinating on meth, one (huff) a simpleton who basically convinced investigators he murdered his sister because his story made no sense - watching his interrogation was maddeningly confusing
My thoughts exactly. There are many examples of animals fostering other species because they had been orphaned. I think it's ridiculous how quickly they dismissed this poor child's account of what happened. Whether it was a bear or not, something or someone cared for that baby while he was lost.
Bears are usually sound asleep in hibernation at those temperatures. It’s possible but his friend could have been a man living in the wild with a bearskin jacket.
@@Rick-ve5lxThis is actually a very good theory. Maybe this “wild” man was putting him in places for the searchers to find (tips being called in of a crying child during the search at different spots). When searchers didn’t find him, the man would retrieve the boy and try to find the searchers again and another spot to put him. Doing it this way ensures he isn’t discovered, as obviously he’s living in the woods to be away from civilization.
As for the second story, it actually makes sense to bring in military for a search in the woods. They have all the skillsets necessary to effectively search for a missing person.
Can everyone understand that channels like The Missing Enigma, etc...don't even know about most of these cases until they are shown on CanAmMissingProject by David Paulides, Missing 411. So many channels get most of their missing people cases from his research. If it wasn't for David Paulides most of these channels would not even exist. Just saying give credit when it's due. Top Mysteries has mentioned and given credit to Mr. Paulides and this is a good channel.
The last case could have been foul play and remember in late August people that grow Mary Jane are probably guarding there crop and that's a prime place to grow it. But prayers for the family and friends of the missing and thanks for keeping these People's names alive. God bless
I know that first case pretty well, and I'm glad I've seen this video on it, because I thought it was fairly odd too. There was talk of them being on a meth bender, but that's just a rumour. I think you give it the right amount of the creepy factor 😂 it was very understated in the other videos on it 🤔 seriously though, these videos are excellent, the tempo, the very detailed information and the excellent art etc 👌 Thanks for your efforts! 👍
29:23 I would bet she simply heard hunters who were tracking deer and once searchers came through she believed it was the same hunters who she believed were tracking her.
The Missing Enigma did a couple of great videos on the first story. Popular opinion from most viewers including myself is that they were both strung out on meth,both had learning disabilities and that together leads to disaster. You can listen to Eddie's entire interview. It's really weird.
I heard that interview. More like an interrogation. Eddie is tough to follow, yet the police are worse... they assumed he had done something to her and are constantly interrupting him trying to trip up his story.
Have i seen this episode and forgotten or have u said that phrase in other videos? That if it happened to you there would be you shaped hole in the nearest door. 😂
I think Donald might have been sleep deprived or having a mental break. I've seen people have mental breaks before but from what ive seen they usually start with small unrecognized episodes before a trigger sets off a major one. One no one sees coming because they didnt realize what was happening in the beginning. And like Ive said many times before, if we cant get bizzare I dont even want to be involved! 😊
The girl from the Radio men story or whatever, those doughnuts she found was almost definitely a hunter or hikers cache lol. I think drugs play a more common role in these stories than we think. "They wanted to hurt me. I have no reason to believe it and have no evidence it even happened but i used 'deer senses' to magically know the mystery woodsmen were out to hurt me" Yeah man drugs are a real problem in this country. And could probably explain a HUGE amount of unexplained disappearences and deaths.
Interesting take on drugs. We grew up in the Pasadena area of California and we often went up the Angeles Crest to local drinking/partying spots. My friends would drink ( I was often the mandatory designated driver, going off of a cliff up there while driving at night is a real possibility) and we often encountered people who claimed they were "tripping" in the outdoors. I guess druggies must think the forests or deserts are good places to imbibe, I think it is foolish.
Eddie saw the people who wouldn't respond too. At one point they were standing on a bluff over a river and could see a pickup truck on the other side with people swimming in the river. The next day they discovered the river was dry. I listened to the police interrogation of Eddie and he seemed to be mentally challenged. The first person to alert the police that there was a situation referred to Eddie and his sisters as crazy people.
Eddie's interview is hysterical. From his crazy rambling story to the exasperated officers (who sounded more frustrated or annoyed than bullying to me), Eddie sounds like a tweaker mess. 😂😂 I am glad it was covered here at Top Mysteries.
I always ask myself with stories who end in death, the main character didn't leave anything written but somehow the narrator knows what he was thinking 🤔🧐 😂😂
With the first story. What happened is he seemed to fall asleep and she could not wake him. And so she went off to “find help” but he woke up and she was gone and he did not fully remember falling asleep hence his confusion of that circumstance. And no I think they saw the spirits. And the spirits mostly ignored them. And so they didn’t know what to make of it. The spirits of the earth are absolutely real. Visible does not always necessarily mean physical or material. And if you peer into the darkness of our forests you will certainly not find yourself entirely alone. And I am not referring to the inevitable animals one finds generally outdoors almost anywhere on earth. I’m referring to something just as ancient nevertheless. Only a fool would say that they do not exist. Even while simultaneously being surrounded by them every day of their physical lives. Who here is negligent. I would say the one that denies the truth. I have seen and so I know for certain. Although many have not. Does not change the facts. With the bear story I am with the sheriff and the family. I would say that it was an angel in the form of a bear so that the child might understand without fully understanding. Makes excellent and perfect sense to me. An angel is just a super powered spirit. That is all. And will harm no one. But the forest spirits? Do not trust them. For what it’s worth these people told the truth. They saw exactly what they said they saw. I think that we should believe them. These events were entirely isolated one from another. Yet they all say the exact same things in various ways. P.S. There are also other things in our woods beside the spirits. But of those I am not certain. They are wary. And intelligent. And can cover vast distances in short time. Therefore be wary when entering any wood. Especially now. I am sure our friendly federal agents would in fact agree.
I can report that a starvation induced psychosis may bring on hallucinations, auditory or visual. It happened to me. I was eventually rescued by helicoptor by the Park Service. When I got back home and in my appartment I was still hearing things. A psychiatrist said she believed my hallucianations were because I ran out of food, thus a starvation induced psychosis.
The FBI will get involved in missing children’s cases for kids under 12 even if a crime isn’t suspected. The local agency will call for help because the FBI has better resources. Also, as the agent said, if a disappearance happens on federal land. A crime isn’t always required.
The first story. For whatever reason,Linda and Eddie have mental cognitive deficiencies. A recording of Eddie will explain what I'm talking about. He speaks almost childlike. This could explain why Linda could only describe the "People" she saw as "Weird". They clearly were not mentally sound.

It always seems weird why people would take drugs and then go for a hike in the bush. It seems more likely that she ingested something unknowingly.
Substances (meth) were definitely involved

A half witted, drunken hillbilly? Perhaps?@@tfxreference8562
Thanks for the fascinating, detailed examples here. Nice graphics as well.
Many of these stories give insight into the workings of the human mind under stress (and/or ellicit substances), which researchers do not fully understand.
That is a huge fear of mine, being lost in the middle of the woods with nothing to protect yourself, and seeing and hearing things you can’t explain.
Stay strapped and don’t go wandering & you’ll be good.
But I agree with you, not a situation I’d particularly enjoy being in.
dont eat the psychedelic berries
me too, this is why i don't go camping or hiking. LOL
Blair witch
so don’t go in the woods, then you have nothing to worry about.
Hey Adam. This is weird AF. Just after watching a video on a completely different channel which featured THIS Artega case. Then I switch over for my weekly Friyay night episode of Top Mysteries to find the same case.
I'd never heard of this case before tonight - thanks for another great episode.
Love & support from Glasgow. Johnnie. 🏴🥳
Cheers Johnnie! Yeah I hadn't realized another channel had covered it recently, I probably wouldn't have covered the same so soon, there are plenty of others following this guideline that I could've reported on instead!
I live in Arkansas right in the middle of the ozarks. Yes extremely dense woods, hills, and forestry. Having said that, there are no reports of people in the woods at night watching hikers, campers, or anybody else. That was completely fabricated or they were hallucinating.
So happy you uploaded. I hadn't received any notification from your channel in months. Gotta love yt 🙄
Good thing is, I've got a pile of videos to binge on ❤
Love your channel and it is truely inspiring how kind and genuinely thoughtful you are when discussing these cases.
You had me with being so understanding and knowledgeable about Autism as my 11 year old is autistic.
Thank you for all your hard work. God bless you and yours 🙏 💕 ❤

Edited: Btw, I am so ordering that coffee mug in a couple of weeks.. "Let's get bizarre." Can't wait!
I hope there's another one that says, "It's about to get weird!" 😊😊
I just watched the interview/interrogation of the brother in the Ortega case. Totally baffling. He also saw people and trucks that apparently Were not there while with his sister , and while alone. Great video! Thx!
Not baffling.Heavy method users.
Glad to see you back with fresh content. Love the graphics at the start/ clearly you are putting time and thought into your content/ very nice...
Always enjoy these regular Friday afternoon vids of yours. Unique style. Keep going it's good stuff!
Hey Adam! Thank you for these strange occurrences...portals springs to my mind..?🤔🤔👏♥️♥️♥️
Another wonderful presentation. Thank you ❤
Awesome as always thanks
My pleasure!
Love the content! You deserve way more subscribers than you currently have. Hoping to see you hit that 1million mark in 2024 🤞. Keep up the great stuff!
Thanks so much, maybe one day
Im so pumped u uploaded a new video!!🙌🏽 ur channel and content is my absolute favorite on TH-cam. U always do the most interesting, mysterious content🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Really enjoyed this, nice work TM
Cheers Maff
Yes! Love your videos so much x
Always a great video and your voice sounds awesome and clear on narrating the Investigations. You Get Sucked into the stories, plus great fact checking. These situations of kids with unknown entities are so bizarre. Great job.💯🙏🇬🇧
Truly bizarre with Donald.. ty Adam as always great stories and I like the pictures you used..❤
Always find these stories way more interesting because of your voice/accent. I follow david paulides and its nice to hear you giving him credit for some of these. I think It's good to get the word out by different means as long as you keep it straight (as possible). Always look forward to the howl in the beginning. My dogs ears always perk up
Absolutely agree thanks for mentioning dave Is polite us
in casey's case, wolves have been known to do this and a 3 yr old might well mistake shaggy wolf for a bear
Linda Artega's friend/brother (?) Eddie apparently had a very confusing nonsensical interview with the police when Linda was reported missing. The Missing Enigma just uploaded a video detailing the interview.
The Missing Enigma does thorough investigations. Great channel.
Great channel, highly recommended.
Animal behaviorist here! It is true that bears are not known to behave in this way. However there are numerous examples throughout history of wild animals acting entirely out of character when faced with lost human children. There was a case in Uganda where vervet monkeys looked after a small boy for an extended period of time. And another such occurrence which took place in India saw wolves treat a child in this manner. With that said I believe Casey when he says a bear took care of him.
I don't think folk respect what children say sufficiently. Adults are so quick to dismiss what they say as imagination or lying, but children are super smart. They aren't liars (until taught by adults there's no point telling the truth 🙄🙄). I've always noticed animals generally have a sensitivity to baby mammals and they know children are infant mammals and can behave quite differently around them so I'm glad to hear my personal observations validated by an animal behaviourist!!!
Everywhere on earth ya find stories of kids raised by animals. We came into this shit hunting shit with pointed sticks and hiding at night from things with bright eyes and sharp teeth, I don't think we woulda made up those stories so reliably if it NEVER happened. Mammals are kinda weird, dogs will take care of kittens, cows will nurse donkeys, I'd say if the options are ghosts, aliens, a kidnap-and-return system, or a bear... actually, a bear dont seem that crazy, and the child that is old enough to speak fuckin said it was a bear...
*I have some personal info on Linda and eddy. I saw some comments from people who knew Linda and eddy* . They were an ER nurse in their town and said the whole family was VERY VERY slow and also meth users. They said the three boys in the family would be in the ER constantly because they would fight with eachother over who got to SLEEP with their mom that night. As adults. And not sleep like sleep next to but have sex with. If you watch Eddie’s interofstion he’s high on meth (they likely both were) and he’s very slow already. When you do meth you see shadow people. That’s typical. So without food and water and high on meth for days it’s no surprise Linda thought she saw shit. People see shit in their homes and in bed. But they went into the woods with NO WATER or FOOD and FLIP FLOPS. They had very little survival techniques. But she was able to collect water and eat berries.
Just love your videos keep up the good work
I love that you include reading from news outlets! I've never seen a channel like this do that like you do. It definitely brings a realistic and human element to these events, which makes them more than just a spooky story. Well done!
@TOP MYSTERIES I am a native of eastern North Carolina and to answer one of your questions....NC is home to the black bear, and most of the bears do hibernate (esp females) but their hibernation is much shorter than bears up north. Coastal NC temps do get cold but we dont have weeks and weeks of frigid temps...it fluctuates. We might have a week of freezing temps and then warm up to the 50's for a week so our bears hibernate late Nov to March/April. Whats interesting is, where Casey is from is exactly where the most black bears in NC are located...4 bears per square mile!! The other interesting thing is...the area where Casey was has had plenty of bigfoot and dogman sightings/encounters....and just an interesting bit of info is, Craven county is very old and historical place...founded in 1712 as the capitol of the colony of NC and the very first capitol of what would become the USA!!! Blackbeard the pirate was from nearby Bath, NC so for those who believe in paranormal things this are is well known for its ghost legends mand hauntings. Personally, I would NEVER want to be lost in that swamp!!!
I always love your videos ❤️❤️❤️
Linda's case can be one of the most enigmatic ordeals. While being delusional must be considered as part of the lost person's state of mind, the possibility of the events that the person describe, weird as it may be, must not be easily dismissed. Thanks for sharing! 🌻
It seems like it was dismissed without a second thought. I'm curious as to what their reasoning was for doing so? I think it should've been looked into, because what if it really did happen just like she said it did?!
They were high on meth
I think she probably ate desdly nightshade or datura when she started foraging as all her delusions ,state of mind and delerium follow exactly the effects of scopolamine
Yes, the were high on meth. Check out Missing Enigma's channel for his take on this and other "Missing 411" stories.
@@NickyBlue99The first account yes
The art work is brilliant
My favorite video of yours sir keep up the great work
Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed
Thank you Adam, great show as always! ❤
Ive read about lindas disappearance and its been suspected that the berries she sustained herself on were possibly poisonous or hallucinogenic.
I think that’s been the case in a few of the cases where a person was found after being lost in the wilderness, and claimed they saw people who wouldn’t speak to them or hid from them. Certain berries and mushrooms, or creek water, especially in combination with fear and lack of sleep, can cause hallucinations.
🫶 Stoked for a new video! Thank you for all your hard work!
My pleasure!
After watching these videos, has anyone else stopped believing anything the friends or family say, especially when they were the last ones to see the missing person? Like... I'm certain all sorts of cases would be mysterious, if we always believed the stories from people involved. "I locked up the store that night, the next morning all the money was gone! It was a ghost robber!"
Yeah, I definitely get what you're saying. Especially when I watch "haunting " type stories. I absolutely without a doubt believe in supernatural occurances and also believe there are probably a great deal of people vanishing under strange or unexplainable circumstances, however..I have a lot of skepticism when learning about such stories. Especially when the families have a huge arsenal of information on the occurances and what not.
'Missing in the Arkansas Ozarks...'; sent a chill down my spine.
Nice to see the face to go with the voice , great strange stories thanks for sharing 😊
❤ love your channel and the stories are amazing
She was clearly hallucinating from lack of sleep. That explains seeing people.
A child like Casey may not equate a bear as being big and ferocious but more teddy bear like and therefore through his eyes thought a smaller more docile animal was a bear, maybe they settled down together at night to keep warm, who knows ❤
Certainly possible, I remember covering a story sometime ago about a boy that disappeared with his dog and he huddled up with the dog overnight to stay warm
That’s certainly a likely possibility. I’m quite certain it wasn’t a real bear.
@@MissingVoidTV I used to have a big, fluffy, cuddly as sin Maine Coon that I bet a 3 year old could mistake for a bear, and I KNOW would keep em warm... until it started to rain, then she woulda bolted home, but stll.
The first story you talked about wasn’t really the way it happened. Eddie never claimed he saw her on the porch. You can hear the interview with police on missing enigma channel
Thank you!
It seems that even though a fair few go missing in the woods in the US, there's a fair few that also get looked after too!
Yeah no kidding, I've covered a few disappearances now that detail young people being cared for by a bear in the woods
Very strange. What exactly are these children being looked after by?
Yayyy one of my favorite TH-camrs!!! Day made
Thanks Top Mysteries.
Bears don't hibernate in North Carolina all winter and in some cases don't hibernate at all in Southern states including North Carolina especially near the coast where Craven County is located.
I wonder what it would like to be invisible in these places to know exactly what happened to these people
They are already reports of cloaked entities like the movie Predator, in the forest
these stories were really good
✨ Let's get bizarre✨
You know when he says that, it's gon be good.
I know people will think I am stupid but I wholeheartedly believe that there are portals in our forests. I believe once they enter a portal they can hear and see people but searchers and other cant see or hear them. Its kinda the only explination. Keep up the good work, you are one of my favorites. I just wish you put videos out every day. Lol
IT'S BIGFOOT! A bear doesn't have human emotions he would have seen that child as meal. Bigfoot is somewhat part human so he would have a nurturing side and want to take care of that little boy.
You’re not stupid, a lot of people believe that. It talks about portals in the Bible.
@@juliedodge900 ty
Other people who have been lost in the woods also see "weird" people staring at them but not answering them. Its common so its got to be something!
Especially in the Appalachian Mts. Best you ignore them. Especially if they sound like a loved one or call you by name.
The arteaga/huff case is just a bit misrepresented in this presentation - after researching it, I come to the conclusion that this was a case of two tweakers hallucinating on meth, one (huff) a simpleton who basically convinced investigators he murdered his sister because his story made no sense - watching his interrogation was maddeningly confusing
"... maddeningly confusing... " is a great way to describe Eddie's rambling tweaker mess of an interrogation. 😂😂
Who does the paintings in the Gorilla Bear segment? They're very cool.
You left out a crucial piece of evidence in Story 1 - the brother and sister were fairly heavy meth-users.
A momma bear looking after a small child is actually very believable
My thoughts exactly. There are many examples of animals fostering other species because they had been orphaned. I think it's ridiculous how quickly they dismissed this poor child's account of what happened. Whether it was a bear or not, something or someone cared for that baby while he was lost.
@yourMoMisWoW. Yea exactly. A 3 year old child would be the size of her cub.
Bears are usually sound asleep in hibernation at those temperatures. It’s possible but his friend could have been a man living in the wild with a bearskin jacket.
@@Rick-ve5lxThis is actually a very good theory. Maybe this “wild” man was putting him in places for the searchers to find (tips being called in of a crying child during the search at different spots). When searchers didn’t find him, the man would retrieve the boy and try to find the searchers again and another spot to put him. Doing it this way ensures he isn’t discovered, as obviously he’s living in the woods to be away from civilization.
It was a sasquatch
Mr. Ballen covered this. Loved his take on it.
I live in the woods I don’t find it creepy because I’ve lived here for a long time but I guess that might be different for others
As for the second story, it actually makes sense to bring in military for a search in the woods. They have all the skillsets necessary to effectively search for a missing person.
Can everyone understand that channels like The Missing Enigma, etc...don't even know about most of these cases until they are shown on CanAmMissingProject by David Paulides, Missing 411. So many channels get most of their missing people cases from his research. If it wasn't for David Paulides most of these channels would not even exist. Just saying give credit when it's due. Top Mysteries has mentioned and given credit to Mr. Paulides and this is a good channel.
The best part: let’s get bizarre !
The last case could have been foul play and remember in late August people that grow Mary Jane are probably guarding there crop and that's a prime place to grow it. But prayers for the family and friends of the missing and thanks for keeping these People's names alive. God bless
I love your intro soundtrack!
I know that first case pretty well, and I'm glad I've seen this video on it, because I thought it was fairly odd too. There was talk of them being on a meth bender, but that's just a rumour. I think you give it the right amount of the creepy factor 😂 it was very understated in the other videos on it 🤔 seriously though, these videos are excellent, the tempo, the very detailed information and the excellent art etc 👌 Thanks for your efforts! 👍
Hot Tip don't take crack while in a forest
Hey, you are very handsome and I love your accent and the way you deliver your vids. Thank you!
29:23 I would bet she simply heard hunters who were tracking deer and once searchers came through she believed it was the same hunters who she believed were tracking her.
The Missing Enigma did a couple of great videos on the first story. Popular opinion from most viewers including myself is that they were both strung out on meth,both had learning disabilities and that together leads to disaster. You can listen to Eddie's entire interview. It's really weird.
Interesting, that would certainly make a whole lot of sense
TME did a fantastic job trying to make sense of that craziness
I heard that interview. More like an interrogation. Eddie is tough to follow, yet the police are worse... they assumed he had done something to her and are constantly interrupting him trying to trip up his story.
Have i seen this episode and forgotten or have u said that phrase in other videos? That if it happened to you there would be you shaped hole in the nearest door. 😂
If anyone is interested, @MissingEnigma did an in-depth on the Orteaga case.
I think Donald might have been sleep deprived or having a mental break. I've seen people have mental breaks before but from what ive seen they usually start with small unrecognized episodes before a trigger sets off a major one. One no one sees coming because they didnt realize what was happening in the beginning. And like Ive said many times before, if we cant get bizzare I dont even want to be involved! 😊
Where is the link to the interview that was on another channel? I think you forgot to post it.
Terrifying encounters for sure.
There was *something/some0ne*
near by. 🙄
Tfsharing~
You should google the 3 year old boy in Montana's before and after pictures. He was lost too.
His explanation as to what happened to his hiking partner seemed very fishy to me.
Thanks 👍🇸🇪😘
The girl from the Radio men story or whatever, those doughnuts she found was almost definitely a hunter or hikers cache lol.
I think drugs play a more common role in these stories than we think. "They wanted to hurt me. I have no reason to believe it and have no evidence it even happened but i used 'deer senses' to magically know the mystery woodsmen were out to hurt me"
Yeah man drugs are a real problem in this country. And could probably explain a HUGE amount of unexplained disappearences and deaths.
Interesting take on drugs. We grew up in the Pasadena area of California and we often went up the Angeles Crest to local drinking/partying spots. My friends would drink ( I was often the mandatory designated driver, going off of a cliff up there while driving at night is a real possibility) and we often encountered people who claimed they were "tripping" in the outdoors. I guess druggies must think the forests or deserts are good places to imbibe, I think it is foolish.
Eddie saw the people who wouldn't respond too. At one point they were standing on a bluff over a river and could see a pickup truck on the other side with people swimming in the river. The next day they discovered the river was dry. I listened to the police interrogation of Eddie and he seemed to be mentally challenged. The first person to alert the police that there was a situation referred to Eddie and his sisters as crazy people.
Eddie's interview is hysterical. From his crazy rambling story to the exasperated officers (who sounded more frustrated or annoyed than bullying to me), Eddie sounds like a tweaker mess. 😂😂 I am glad it was covered here at Top Mysteries.
This channel should be named “Let’s Get Bizarre” 😎
I always ask myself with stories who end in death, the main character didn't leave anything written but somehow the narrator knows what he was thinking 🤔🧐 😂😂
You should do a video about Tammy Lynn Leppert
With the first story. What happened is he seemed to fall asleep and she could not wake him. And so she went off to “find help” but he woke up and she was gone and he did not fully remember falling asleep hence his confusion of that circumstance. And no I think they saw the spirits. And the spirits mostly ignored them. And so they didn’t know what to make of it. The spirits of the earth are absolutely real. Visible does not always necessarily mean physical or material. And if you peer into the darkness of our forests you will certainly not find yourself entirely alone. And I am not referring to the inevitable animals one finds generally outdoors almost anywhere on earth. I’m referring to something just as ancient nevertheless. Only a fool would say that they do not exist. Even while simultaneously being surrounded by them every day of their physical lives. Who here is negligent. I would say the one that denies the truth. I have seen and so I know for certain. Although many have not. Does not change the facts. With the bear story I am with the sheriff and the family. I would say that it was an angel in the form of a bear so that the child might understand without fully understanding. Makes excellent and perfect sense to me. An angel is just a super powered spirit. That is all. And will harm no one. But the forest spirits? Do not trust them. For what it’s worth these people told the truth. They saw exactly what they said they saw. I think that we should believe them. These events were entirely isolated one from another. Yet they all say the exact same things in various ways. P.S. There are also other things in our woods beside the spirits. But of those I am not certain. They are wary. And intelligent. And can cover vast distances in short time. Therefore be wary when entering any wood. Especially now. I am sure our friendly federal agents would in fact agree.
Im going to spend ten days solo wild camping in the wilds of the Outer Hebrides next week... im worried.
Eddie interview was uploaded by the missing enigma...he was also hallucinating...strange case altogether
I can report that a starvation induced psychosis may bring on hallucinations, auditory or visual. It happened to me. I was eventually rescued by helicoptor by the Park Service. When I got back home and in my appartment I was still hearing things. A psychiatrist said she believed my hallucianations were because I ran out of food, thus a starvation induced psychosis.
your videos are top notch..absolutely great 10/10
That's some beautiful scenery you use. It just reinforces the point to me that there's a lot of places that has no human presence.
Damn that last one is weird isn't it!
There are things in this world that we still don’t understand. Not everything can be rationally explained
Eddie in the interview with police said THEY WERE HALLUCINATING
The FBI will get involved in missing children’s cases for kids under 12 even if a crime isn’t suspected. The local agency will call for help because the FBI has better resources. Also, as the agent said, if a disappearance happens on federal land. A crime isn’t always required.
The first story. For whatever reason,Linda and Eddie have mental cognitive deficiencies.
A recording of Eddie will explain what I'm talking about. He speaks almost childlike.
This could explain why Linda could only describe the "People" she saw as "Weird".
They clearly were not mentally sound.
He was being evasive.
Has anyone ever tried tethering hiking? And string or thread/twine tracking?
