In 1997, the FBI solved a missing person case... or so they thought. The truth was, something so unprecedented had happened that they had failed to even realize that it had happened. And it would result in one of the strangest situations that any family has ever experienced...

Hey everyone! Starting next Wednesday (October 4th), all future Hidden Stories will be migrating to a new, separate channel for clarity and simplicity. All of the current stories will still remain up on this channel, but all new videos moving forward will be posted on the new "Hidden Stories" RU-vid channel here: www.youtube.com/@hiddenstoriesYT. If you want to continue keeping up with the weekly stories and my Hidden Stories series, subscribe to this new channel ✌

@Andy Jiang this sounds strangely like the 2nd orphan movie

@privateprivate5302 Год назад

It's most definitely tragic That the emotional abuses of his mother desensitized him of empathy and created such a desperation for unconditional acceptance That it never dawned on him pretending to be someone's precious missing baby, wa s the cruelest lie he could ever tell It magnitude of the pain he was causing to these families didn't even resonate with him In a way he was" desperately" trying to attain affection and acceptance And i dunno if you can even blame his mom at 18 for not having the maternal instinct to embrace him...or if you can blame his grandparents for raising such a reckless heartless daughter But whatever it was, it was definitely a domino affect that negatively affected sooo many lives for soo many years to come😮‍💨

Frederic story sounds exactly like changelings from Scottish and Irish folklore, the parallels between them are amazing. I also Don’t think Frederic is lying about his suspicions to what actually happened to Nicholas as a guy who has been lying his whole life basically he would be the most likely to see through the lies of others.

Lila Rossi but irl No but seriously I feel so bad for the dude. What he did was horrible because in a way he's giving false hope to the families of the people he stole the identities of, but he never did anything malicious to anyone. He only wanted to be in a family, to experience what it's like to be loved and cared for, and he felt the only way for him to do that is to assume the identity of someone else. Also that twist at the end?? I feel like I want to believe what he said about the family because it kinda makes sense in a way? The fact that they denied the request of authorities to verify his real identity, I mean sure you could say the reason why they did that is because they didn't want to be separated from their "loved one" again but come on, would they really choose to keep a guy who could potentially be a dangerous criminal than find out the truth with the help of authorities? He was right to be suspicious of the family and I just hope one day we'd be able to figure out what happened to the real kid that went missing. This was a very interesting story indeed.

@katrina8231 Год назад

Huh I'm guessing the movie orphan I think was the name was based on this story, it's about a crazy lady with a genetic disorder that keeps her from aging so she looks like a kid, she escaped an assylum and posed as a missing girl, she fell in love with the dad and the mother was wary of her not being their daughter, it's later revealed that she knew all along she wasn't their daughter because the older brother had killed her by accident and the mother covered it up, then the mother wanted the imposter to keep playing as their daughter because it made the father act like himself again

Absolutely LOVING the longer content, my friend!! You are so very talented at telling these stories and your enthusiasm for it is such a refreshing thing to see. It's a wonderful change from all the dark, sad, totally evil tales that are so prevalent right now. Even this one that's a little on the darker side, you told the story with the same enthusiasm and genuine disbelieving "you'll never believe the story I just heard," type of feeling. I'm really enjoying your videos! ❤😊😊❤

I’ve heard this story before but you added a lot of family details that I hadn’t heard. It’s crazy that some family’s are so desperate to get their missing member back they would take in an imposter.

@saultube44 Год назад

Yep, when I was a kid I tried something way smaller scale, and it's a big mistake, lies destroy any trust and freaks out people; love is found through truth; but shows how sad is this World that won't accept a kid just 'coz he needs love and shelter. Although he had what it takes to be an actor as a profession. But, I think he discovered what happened to the kid, fake expert knows when someone is being fake and investigates why; poor kid, RIP.

@zuzanavodickova7581 7 месяцев назад

I actually know this story from a perspective of the family and a possible missing child returning after 3 years, so I only knew a small portion of Fredericks story. Apparently he was known as "the changelling" Further information on the family from what i heard was that the missing childs older brother had actually killed him while in a drug induced rage, buried him in the garden and even admitted this to his mother. From what i know, the sister truly believed it was Nicholas, the brother of course knew it wasnt him, the mother was confused and im not sure if she truly convinced herself that it was Nicholas or if she was trying to protect her older son. Though i dont think and havent heard she actually had any part in her sons death. Sadly, the older brother sunk deep into depression, his feeling of guilt overwhelmed him and he ended his life some time after. Leaving the mother grieving the loss of both of her sons.

@odo324 Год назад

25:20 "...for his children ... and his cat." Not his wife? He spent his life trying to "acquire" love and that sort of thing is why so many marriages fail. Love is actually sacrifice. In order to love we must give up something we desire for the other person's own needs or desires (be it time, food, entertainment, etc...).
