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

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

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 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."

12:08  The part where Linda says people looked straight at her but didn’t respond is terrifying. It’s like she was in a different layer of reality.

It’s called third man syndrome.  Alpine hikers discovered this decades ago.  The voice giving you good advice and encouragement is supposed to be your unconscious mind drawing from places you never actively think about, but that person shows up when you need each other.  Like having a gut feeling, but Pixar got a hold on it.

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.

If Eddie really thought he saw her safe and sound after you think he'd go talk to her make sure she was doing okay

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...

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.

She was clearly hallucinating from lack of sleep. That explains seeing people.

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.

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.

in casey's case, wolves have been known to  do this and a 3 yr old might well mistake  shaggy wolf for a bear

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

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 ❤

There are things in this world that we still don’t understand. Not everything can be rationally explained

Sounds very much like the origin of the word "panic" meaning an irrational fear or paranoia typically experienced when alone in a forest. The false sense of being watched/pursued in the wilderness is probably as old as mankind itself

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.

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!"
