About this video:
In 1974 a backcountry ranger walked up a nameless drainage in the North Carolina Smokies and never walked out. The search found almost nothing — except his camera, sitting dry on a rock after two floods. They closed the case with the word "drowned." Forty-five years later a wildfire mapping drone flew over that same drainage and picked up a camp that shouldn't have still been there: a swept clearing, a stack of split firewood, a fire ring with no leaves in it. Then the area was closed, and it has stayed closed ever since.

rod. This was an interesting story to add to the others.
Trenny Gibson (1976): A 16-year-old high school student from Knoxville, Tennessee, disappeared during a field trip while walking along the Forney Creek/Forney Ridge trail area near Clingmans Dome. Despite massive searches by park rangers, the National Guard, and tracking dogs, she was never found.
Susan Clements (2018): A 53-year-old hiker from Ohio went missing near the Forney Ridge Trail/Andrews Bald area and was later found deceased due to Dehydration/Hypothermia in a remote drainage south of the Appalachian Trail.

Ten things the mountains took. Sixty-two years of records nobody wanted to finish.
Across five states and the years between 1893 and 1955, ten cases were written up the way you write a thing you mean to forget — a drifter gone out of his boots, a row of names in a county ledger, a page that stops in the middle of a sentence. The law called them misadventure. The people who lived up those hollows called them something else, and only after dark.
8 hours of Appalachian folk horror. Ten stories. One mountain that keeps what it takes.
