On May 25, 1998, 5 children went into their backyard to hunt for tree walnuts. They used their parent's camcorder and recorded themselves hunting walnuts. After the children's disappearance, the camcorder was found in the woods. The tape was highly damaged, and eventually no longer became usable, but the police that have found the tape described it like this:
The 5 children were in the backyard, and near their backyard was the woods. The children began their hunt for the tree walnuts, but felt as if something was off. After piling up a few walnuts, one of the children went missing. They looked everywhere, but couldn't find them. Eventually, the mother came home, and the children acted as if nothing happened, thinking they would get in trouble if they told the truth.
At the beginning of the tape, the boy recording mentions one of the children being "the black thing moving around in the woods".
The police say they saw a black figure moving in the woods throughout the tape, and it was not in the shape of a human, nor an animal they have seen before. It's most likely the black figure was not one of the children.
After searching, the children eventually find pieces of what appears to be white, hard objects. These objects were confirmed to be bone.
The tape comes to an abrupt end when the situation gets more serious.
Later that day, all 5 children went missing. No trace of them has ever been found, or their kidnapper. Some say the kidnapper wasn't even human, and they were killed by something much worse.
The case has been closed since the trail had gone cold in 2000.
