► Missing 411: IMPOSSIBLE Disappearances in National Parks

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

Hey all, just mentioning again for those that don’t know, I’ve changed the channel name! Secondly, I’m still experimenting with subtitles and good lord they are very time consuming to do! It seems like a 50/50 split on channels that bake them in whether they put them at the top or bottom, but I have taken on board some feedback and it seems most want them to remain at the top. Be safe all, have a great weekend.
  • Whistling carries much further than shouting, and it's easier to ascertain the direction a whistle came from - many survival kits will contain whistles for exactly this reason.
  • Regarding Hidegard's disappearance: the older style LL Bean coats have zippers which can be used as a whistle! The company designed these zippers as a safety feature function for folks who unintentionally got lost

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

    They described a "whistling sound", not specifically of a person whistling. Many people carry whistles on the, when hiking in case they get lost, the sound is sharper and clearer than a person shouting and will not only go further, but is easier to track back to the source. So any whistling sound is taken seriously.
  • @seandelap8587
    The only conclusion i can come to about why these people are found in an area that was already searched is because either they were put there by someone else or they were elsewhere originally and then wandered into that area
  • @dan9iel
    i have 2 main theorys for the first story: theory #1 (most likely): he fell on something sharp like a log and impaled his left shoulder, and took his sweater off to stop the bleeding, and died due to blood loss as he probably stumbled over before falling, gripping his chest as his heart grew weaker. and for the search party, they probably just didn't look hard enough, as the conditions were harsh and it was hard to scan the entire area. theory #2: his friends shot him and made it look like an accident, as the impalement could be a gunshot wound, and the sweatshirt could've been planted there to make it look like an accident, and as for the search party, they probably led them away from the crime scene.
  • About the whistling heard during Hildegard's search. It's not uncommon for hikers to carry whistles on them. If you're injured and/or dehydrated shouting will become almost impossible, but a whistle is very easy to still use. It makes me so sad that she might have been out there blowing a whistle hoping that someone would hear it.
  • @hamishford5486
    NB, Please note that in cold conditions dogs find it up to 50% easier to track any sent compared to warm/hot conditions. This is due to the sent remaining low to the ground.
  • @b.j.t9448
    Love the art work that bring your stories to life, excellent
  • @joeltaylor2830
    The artwork looks different - white highlights, higher contrast and some fine detail. It looks good, as it does always, I just wondered if something had changed.

    To whom it may concern, No, it’s because they were abducted, whoever abducted them did their thing, and then flown there and dropped there. There is absolutely no other conclusion that a dog loses someone sent in mid stride. It just doesn’t happen, I work with dogs, and they do not, do not lose that sent! So the only conclusion is that they went up or down, there is absolutely no other way. And then try to explain why all of a sudden a storm kicks in when this particular type of incident happens. If a regular person gets lost, and then found, there’s never a storm. There’s only a storm when there’s oddities like the hounds can’t track the scent(and that’s before the storm kicks in by the way, so it’s not from the storm) or a person was there one second and then they weren’t, and all stuff that Dave points out in his books. And you can see his progression as to what he thinks is going on. And his first movie, he just covered cases and didn’t judge one way or another. And his second movie it turned more to Cryptids and such things like that. Now he’s had so many cases, and talk to so many people that have seen things being taken, like that elk that was picked up and brought over the trees and hit the trees, and that was seen by those hunters. And on the cover of it is a UFO, UAP, or USO. So you can see the direction he is going in now, because now he has talked to some real Highup people, and got some information that he probably shouldn’t have. Dave is a great man for putting this stuff out there, and so are you my friend for spreading the information as well! Plus you do wicked cool videos! Back in the day people were ridiculed for being abducted, well it’s undeniable that it’s happening now. Whether it be from outer space, inner earth, or in the seas, these things do not like what we’re doing to our planet. Actually 99% of the people don’t like what we’re doing to our planet, it’s the 1% that get rich that don’t give a crap what happens to our planet because they just want money. So I say they should abduct them, but they probably have a pact with them anyway. Well, that was a hell of a rant for 4:30 in the morning. Thanks for reading my book if you did.

    The new name suits the channel! I like it. also, the artwork looks awesome. Appreciate all your hard work putting these stories together, sir. Definitely one of my favorite channels on the platform.
  • @dharkling
    I been watching YouTube channel “Bedtime Stories” for many years; glad to see another like it. More please. My mom had a way of whistling that could be heard nearly a mile away. It came in handy when it was supper time as a kid 😬
  • @dlm1166
    My first thought about the whistling is that perhaps she was able to whistle louder than she could yell. Being an older woman, maybe her voice wasn’t very strong. The whistling could’ve been done with her fingers or an acorn cap.
  • @JosephSpalliero
    Great stories and animation! Exciting, frightening, and eerie at the same time. I found myself wanting the stories not to conclude. Love it .
  • @carolyns99
    I would just like to state my appreciation of your honesty when it comes to missing and/or conflicting and/or potentially speculative information. Many channels simply go with what makes the cleanest narrative without acknowledging that life is messy and sometimes recollections or written records just don't gel with each other. Admitting that you are unsure about these things shows that you have actually done your own research, so kudos for that.
  • @TheUncleRuckus
    They're working from the false assumption that snow distributes evenly everywhere, his body was found at the bottom of a Precipice aka Cliff/Peak, snow tends to accumulate more at the base of Cliff or Peak. So it's very possible that his body was there and they just didn't notice it bc it had more snow over than they thought it would. Sounds like he fell by the way his body was positioned and he might of broken something and been disabled then succumb to the weather.
  • @nuckinfuts7610
    So glad you decided to return to the voiceover only format. On camera was an awkward vibe, changed the channel's whole dynamic.

    25:00 bloodhounds only track scent on the ground, if the victim was picked up and carried away - they won't follow. Also, "no recollection of events that transpired since her disappearance" might simply mean "no desire to oust yourself as a loon trying to explain those events". In 1993 Russia group of 7 hikers died with 1 survivor that constantly changed her testimony and ended up settling at "horrible weather". Said "we were thrown around like feathers" and "central pole of our tent got torn out". There is no record of a weather capable of such feats in the area. She just didn't want to ruin her reputation even if that means other hikers later might meet the same fate. She also was 16 years old with her whole life ahead of her. Nobody wants a lunatic label attached to them. This is the cost of marginalization and ridicule of "fringe" topics: people clam up and guard their personal interests, and speaking the truth is not in their interest. Natives in the area know dam well what can "throw people around like feathers" and rip out central pole of 4-man oldschool tent, loaded with rocks at the perimeter with all 4 people inside. But who would listen to the natives? We are so modern, advanced and educated that we know everything there is to know about wilderness!
