As a wilderness first responder, the kid in the second story sounds like a hypothermic victim. I e seen a scenario like this and the guy survived. Talking with him afterwards he said he fell into the river along the trailhead, and when he made it to shore he emptied his pack of contents and set them out to dry. He also removed his underwear and socks knowing they will stay wet the longest. His story after this is hazy because he was obviously suffering from hypothermia from the water. When he was found by hikers, he was a quarter mile away from his pack and his body was shutting down. If he died, it would have resembled the kid in the second story too a T. The only thing is is the guy survived and was able to explain the state of confusion he experienced after trying to get warm. In his mind he knew the path was close and he needed to get back into it, however he climbed out the opposite side of the river from the trail. His hypothermic mind wasn't making sound connections. Anytime hypothermia is a factor, weird things tend to happen.

@Chewbecca101 2 года назад

Agreed. The whole story screams basic behaviors of hypothermia. However, it's still a mystery why he didn't stay put on the trail waiting for a negligent scout to walk by.

@ASMRMoto 2 года назад

exactly what i was thinking especially about the fact that he took off his clothes . There are many incidents where extreme hypothermia in the final stages leads victims / survivors to take off their clothes becuz they feel super hot . its a weird phenomena . i couldn't put my finger on why got in the river but i think u got it .

@garrettwood194 2 года назад

@@Chewbecca101 no idea why he crossed, but I've seen the absolute mess cold can do to a human mind. I once watched a co worker wrestle a hypo victim from stepping out into thin air inside a heli transport. Fought tooth and nail to get out the bay door. Afterwards when stabilized the guy asked what we were talking about when we mentioned it. I've also seen them stick their hands in open flames to try and get their hands warm. Best thing you can do with hypo victims is expect something you've never expected.

@andrewedmunds4583 2 года назад

I suspect that a wild animal may have spooked him away from the trail, got a bit lost and ended up at the river.

When I hear stories like the one with Jeff, I understand why my Scoutmaster always insisted that our troop never split up. In a situation like the senior scout and Jeff, our Scoutmaster would have selected someone to stay with both or would have waited for each. Whenever our SM or Assistant SM would tell us never to leave anyone alone under any circumstances, there was always something in their expressions and voice that always made me take this very seriously.

@TonyGingrich 11 месяцев назад

"Adrenaline" really hits home for me. It troubles me of how easily our fear can be used by a malicious person. Born and raised in a deeply rural area, fond memories of my childhood spent camping with friends and cousins. Far from houses, pitch black new moons; one of our favorite activities was to disappear and "stalk" each other. Tip: If you find yourself isolated and pursued by someone with bad intentions, hide low and wait until night. When things are dark, stop running. Turn about and begin stalking the bad guy. We have an ESP type of awareness when someone is following or watching us. Bad guys are also scared of things that go bump in the night. The simple action of turning the tables and becoming the stalker, often, is enough to induce a panic attack and paralyze them with their own fear. For good measure, randomly throw a rock so that it lands about 20 or 30 feet from them. Almost guaranteed, you will not spend the next day running and hiding.

@jeanaerowley7150 2 года назад

I’ve heard that one of the last symptoms of hypothermia is an overwhelming heat flash. Jeff may have experienced this and tried to go into the river and stripped…then fell asleep and died in his sleep. I honestly hope that’s what happened instead of an evil person grabbing him 💔

@SatanenPerkele 2 года назад

Yes, also remember he left the group cause he didn't feel well!

@valleyoclarity7635 Год назад

far more likely. people who die of hypothermia are often found partially undressed for this exact reason.

@Seanfrenchh Год назад

It’s known as paradoxical undressing. Terrible. :(

@chibui7560 8 месяцев назад

I can confirm the heat flash when you have hypothermia. Back in May when I was transferred from the ICU to a regular room after a big surgery, I experienced the heat flash. It felt like I was in a flame and it’s burning inside my body. I felt that I was sweating badly, then had to “yell out” (actually whispering because I was too weak and was under effect of Motrin) and forced my husband turning the AC on. He told me couple days later that my body temperature was cold like a coprse, so he turned on the heat instead, but I didn’t know about it at that time. I calmed down and went unconscious the moment I heard/thought my husband had turned on the AC. It’s scary of how the brain can trick us to dangerous situation.

@newguy3588 3 месяца назад

What I find interesting about that is that he put a boot back on, kept his jacket and pants on, and removed his hat. Paradoxical undressing or not. Normally when they do that, they don't put clothing back on. Did he remove his clothing for his wade into the river? Did he even enter the river? Was he wet? Did he remove his clothing because he was wet? Curious.

I think the Boy Scout Jeff may have ran away from his group intentionally. For some reason he probably was distraught from his own life. It’s possible that he may have had a minor depression and decided to runaway. If he endured the cold nights it’s possible that he eventually went insane. That usually happens when people get lost. He did some odd things like emptying the contents of his bag and neatly placing the items to show off his odd behavior. He then goes and picks spot for where he wanted to die. I think he was suicidal.

Cory's story is just terrifying. Something was after him, something awful, something I don't ever want to run into, something I hope no one else runs into. I don't blame Sammy for not wanting to go back in there. That amount of distance, especially considering we aren't talking about someone who'd never been in the woods before so he wouldn't be easily freaked out or hear a noise and overreact. He would know the normal sounds throughout the forest and the not normal sounds. He must have been so freaking scared. Noooooope.

@Zmungessssthefungus Год назад

I have a theory for the boys out story: the boy was not feeling good because he had to go to the bathroom, he was embarrassed to say so, he left the trail to relieve himself and got lost. It was cold, and before you die from hypothermia you go nuts and you also feel warm. That’s why often people will make decisions that make no sense and remove clothing.

@wildflower1397 Год назад

That is a good theory. My other idea was that a bear, cougar, or some other animal showed up, and he backed away off the trail from it. The items on the rock in the middle of the water make sense if he went there to keep away from the animal. He took off his clothes to swim to shore for something, because he did not want to get them wet. (Sharp stick? Wood to burn?) Then the cold got to him before he swam back.

The child that went missing at a picnic reminded me of when my parents were telling me a story about my dad. When he was a kid, my dad, his mom and other family members went to this place where they had a family outing, the children played and the adults socialized and prepared the food. As my dad was playing, he secretly went into the bushes without his mom and them knowing. These people with two children ( I forgot how they were described ) walked up to my dad, and the female ( mother ) tried to hold his hand, but he didn’t want to go near them, I guess they wanted him to come with them but he didn’t want to, instead he walked back to where his mom and them were and he never saw those people again.

They are some of the scariest monsters because they look like someone you might see at the grocery store, or someone you might have met in college or in the service, or someone who might have been a neighbor, etc.

Because adults remember clearly. Children cannot, and will not be taken seriously. I also believe it has to do with puberty, a 14 year old boy was found dead. But an 11 year old boy was found alive, and explained after walking 33 miles in less than 24 hours that animals were watching him behind trees and following him.

@TheConCon19 Год назад

The first story reminds me of one that happened here in 2016. It was in January and normally it’s pretty cold here in the winter,but sometimes we will have a few warm days. One warm day a grandma took her 4 year old granddaughter and 2 year old grandson walking down a trail in the woods. The little girls shoe came untied and the grandma bent down to tie her shoe and when she turned back around the boy was gone. After looking for him for a certain amount of time the grandma called the police. There was a huge search with so many volunteers. It stayed warm for two more days and then after that it got very cold. The next morning after the first cold night they found the boy a couple of miles away from last being seen lying up against a large machine (something like a tractor I think) he died from the cold. Volunteers said they searched that area very well the days before. Some people accused the family of foul play,but the police said there’s no signs of that and that they personally know the family (it’s kind of a small town here) and they would never do anything like that to just please leave the grieving family alone. I was pregnant with my daughter at the time and I had nightmares for awhile from that.

Throwing this theory for Jeff. This is mainly becouse I have been in simmilar situations. Take into account he was not feeling well. He had not been feeling well, he kept falling behind. Now I think he had diarrhea/ stomach pains. Hiking with people it's difficult to brake off to use the bathroom, maybe he was holding it in as much as he could but he lost the battle. He sat down as a last resort to hold it in. He convinced the scout leader to let him sit for a min, maybe the scout leader figured it out and let Jeff have a frew mins of privacy. As soon as the group is out of view he takes off into the woods to relive him self. Well running didn't help and he partially soils him self. He panics and takes his sock off to use as toilet paper. It helps but his undies are ruined. He makes a quick decision to enter the river in an attempt to wash his body/ save his cloths. He takes his pack out on the rock to get a new change of clothes while washing himself down their. It gets real cold fast and he needs to get out. He leaves his items out in an attempt to return. He dries off, maybe he is a little disorientated form the whole thing, and wants to go and check on the group so no one worries, he'll come back for the items once they dry more. He gets lost and becomes very hypothermoc. He sits down and succumbs to the cold/ internal condition.

I feel like a lot of these stories about kids being found outside of the estimated radius could boil down to near-kidnappings. I feel like someone (the person peering behind the tree) beckoned him out, he followed, and they walked together to where he was found. And then he either changed his mind or he decided it wasn’t worth all the hassle with the search party and he leaves him. At least that’s where my mind goes.

This is exactly what I think happened. An abductor picked up Jackie and then for some reason - hassle, conscience, lost the kid - left him at the power plant. 2 year olds are not tall and that trek through the swamp would've left him wet and muddied... unless he was carried. Or teleported.

That last story reminded me of something that happened to me about 20 years ago. I and a buddy were out camping. We realized we forgot to put ice in the cooler. Buddy said he would go into town and grab a couple bags. He walked about 10 minutes up the path to the parking lot, and took off. I heard him start up the truck and pull out on the gravel. The trip would take him about 2 hours, we were pretty far out. About 30 minutes later, my buddy comes walking into the camp from the opposite direction, from the woods. He stops and looks around, and says "why did you move the camp?" I looked at him funny and said "uh, dude, I didn't move anything...and did you get the ice?" He looked back at me, and I noticed his eyes looked...dead. Like, no soul in them. He frowned and said "Oh, sorry. I forgot." And turned around and walked back into the woods. I stood there scratching my head. About 1 1/2 hours later, I hear the truck pull back up into the lot, and a few minutes later, my buddy showed up with the ice. Baffled, I told him what happened, he said he's been in town for the past two hours, and never came back here in that time. The person who came out of the woods was wearing identical clothing, same haircut, same everything as my buddy. Just that his eyes looked creepy. To this day I have no idea what actually happened.

With #2, another possibility is that he was experiencing some sort of cardiac event. As someone born with a common cardiac defect, I speak from experience - when things go awry (often during sustained physical activity), at first you feel uneasy, weak and very hot, even in cold environments. Then unless you get treatment your ability to think coherently, coordinate your limbs (which ultimately go numb), and even see, steadily declines until you eventually lose consciousness. Children usually have little experience recognizing the symptoms, may feel embarrassed voicing them, or simply not have the strength or brain function to articulate what's happening. This could explain why he had to stop on the spot so shortly after resting - his cardiac state would not tolerate exercise. Sitting did not help this time and feeling rising panic and confusion he tried to get up and make his way to an adult but couldn't orient himself, and was simply incapable of calling out. He would have been acting in a confused, dreamlike state made worse by rapid hypothermia. This cascade happened to me many times as a child and it was utterly terrifying and confusing. I can recognize the initial symptoms for what they are now but it took a lot of practice and many embarrassing experiences, and I still find it very difficult to notify others in social situations for so many reasons.

@Couple screws Loose Sorry, but you're wrong. Playing around in the woods, I've had many a little one make way faster time than me. They're smaller, making them able to duck under things I would have to climb over. They're light weight, so they can skitter across logs that would collapse under my weight and across mud that would sink me up to my knees. And their tiny feet can take them through paths way too narrow for me to pass. I would race my niece and nephew up and down the driveway, beating them every time. But, trudging through the swamp on an "Archaeology expedition", or "hunting dinosaurs", even a professional woodsman like me struggled to keep up. And with my current health, there's no way in hell I'd be able to catch a toddler that decides to take off; like my 3 year old cousin who decided to follow a bird a few years back. She saw a bird when we were hiking and bolted away from the group a good 500 feet off the trail into the woods. Her dad and mom were only halfway to where she had stopped when she got back to them. She had stopped because she got distracted by a flower; which she picked and gave to her daddy.

Since dude was sick and seemed to want privacy, he likely shit his pants and went of the trail to clean up/wash up, which was a bad choice it seems.

After watching so many of Mr. Ballen's 411 videos, I almost hope what the children are saying about these creatures is true because if we factor in the obvious fact that they couldn't have covered these distances alone, the obvious non-paranormal alternative is, in my opinion, far more disturbing. We have decades of research that demonstrates children have a tendency to suppress traumatic memories in favour of constructed ones they're better psychologically-equipped to understand. The idea is that the child can more readily integrate what happened into pre-existing schema and hopefully address the trauma with the few rudimentary coping mechanisms they have at their disposal, preventing their fledgling personality from completely derailing this early in development.

The second one where the scout was found deceased from exposure, it's not uncommon to be confused when hypothermia occurs. I think he probably panicked (can happen being alone in the woods especially being a boy) and lost the trail looking for the troop. Eventually he came to this stream and for some reason he got into the water trying to cross it and that put him in a dangerous state that probably exponentiated hypothermia. This advanced hypothermic state likely affected him mentally and led to confusion, which is a normal sign of this. This is why his clothes were taken out of the pack and laid about just so and why he was later found with his clothes part way off and his socks off. It doesn't make sense because he was going through hypothermic confusion with probably a lot of panic mixed in. He had enough sense to get out of the water and was probably too tired to go on and sat by the tree and succumbed to exposure like that. He was far from his troop, too. Think about it, he was found 1,000m from where his pack was abandoned in the stream - that's more than half a mile! - a good ways in the woods, actually. I don't believe this was an abduction case at all, this was a panicked boy feeling abandoned creating panic, which lead him to get lost in the woods looking for his troop that cost him his life. That's sad, and I blame the scout leaders for not ensuring his safety. You never just let anyone catch up who is straggling behind, I don't care if he is with an older scout - these aren't men with full understanding of responsibility, developed reasoning and experience nor mental and physical toughness and so on. These are still boys. It's very sad because this should have been avoided. I say all of this because I was a Boy Scout once and made Eagle.

Half a mile is barely a 10min walk But yeah, its common when people get hypothermia for their body to heat in a last effort to save them, and for them to strip and then die of exposure, which is what he seems to have done by opening his jacket I'll also never understand people who stop paying attention to anyone lagging behind, so many young people n kids who disappear like that

As an Eagle Scout, I want to know why the scoutmaster would allow not one but two scouts be alone on a trail. There is a reason for the buddy system.

@@Jaqueli9er I don’t know when it was implemented in Boy Scouts, so you might have a point there. I was a scout in the early 2000s. We were never not within eyeshot or earshot of another person. Specifically for instances such as this.

I was with a church group at a Boy Scout camp and the buddy system was heavily enforced. couldn’t even go to the bathroom, which was within sight of all the camp sites, alone Then I went with my troop to the same camp site and they were way more lenient and I walked up to the riflery range, at least a quarter of a mile away from the main part of the camp and way out of anyone’s sight, by myself.

@rennnnnnnnnnnnn 3 года назад

My theory about Jeff from the second story: When Jeff said he didn't feel well, he meant that he had diarrhea. So before the scout master came down the trail, he couldn't hold it and went into the woods to relieve himself. Then he got lost. This explains why his pants were undone and also maybe why his socks were off. He may have gotten something gross on his socks and took them off because of that. He may have been washing his stuff in the river because he was embarrassed about showing up to his troop smelling like that. That's my theory at least :P

@samuelharris6540 3 года назад

Makes sense to me. That or something similar could easily have happened. Jeff steps off the trail to relieve himself, gets turned around, and heads down hill like a good scout. He finds the stream, decides to follow it, but is tired, takes off his pack and puts it on the rock, fully intending to come back for it later. Unfortunately, he's so tired and lost, he never does. Exhausted, shivering, maybe having fallen in the cold water, he slumps against a tree.

@johankaare4740 3 года назад

or maybe someone took his bag and placed it in the river. In an attempt to get it back he may have taken his socks off and tried to swim out to it, but was taken by the current ... or maybe he thought the water was too cold and gave up

@dollarstorecookie3938 3 года назад

He could have become delirious afterwards and succumbed to hypothermia. People suffering from severe hypothermia enter a stage where they begin to take their clothes off and he might have just done that

@robertrazo7352 3 года назад

The theory that Jeff had diarrhea is plausible to me. I was sick once and had lost so much fluid too fast and my body shut down. This could’ve happened to Jeff. He could have walked off trail and tried to clean up in the river. Being disoriented and lost, his body was further taxed and he succumbed to the elements. Good theory Dorian Flednam.

@Just_Pele 2 года назад

The Appalachian trail is inhabited by 100s of "feral men", especially in the more isolated parts, and most range from unstable to 100% insane. Many are fugitives from the law, soldiers who have gone AWOL, deranged hippies, or national park rangers who have simply lost their minds. They're capable of practically anything for any reason, with motivations that we would consider entirely irrational or illogical. My property is adjacent to the Smoky Mountains national park and one such "feral man" lives in a cave not too far from our home and he's peaceful and usually friendly. He just wants to be left alone, but every once in a while, if he really needs something or gets extremely bored, he'll show up and ask for something or he'll just sit and talk (his speech has become broken and he's not entirely understandable anymore). Last month he came by and showed me that his coat was badly damaged, so I gave him an old set of BDUs, coat, boots, some basic supplies, and a crank-powered radio. He was appreciative and thanked me repeatedly. I'm not sure exactly what he did, but I think he accidentally harmed someone badly a long time ago, and then he fled into the wilderness to escape arrest. The stories he has though, they'll make you question a lot of things. The guy has seen some crazy sh-t while living in the wild, some really shocking, even supernatural things.

@gnarthdarkanen7464 2 года назад

I'm not far from the trail either... grew up around these mountains... Don't forget smugglers (including drugs AND humans)... AND moonshiners. Mostly, it's a unilateral "Don't start nothing and there won't be nothing"... BUT they don't tolerate strangers or intruders well. There's a lot of the trail that just isn't seriously patrolled regular... AND the authorities literally CAN'T keep up after all the available weirdness. You hear stories that sound ridiculous, but it's often about a favorite spot for anything from still-sites to rendezvous points for God only knows what... SO it's not always healthy to get too damn curious. AND I don't care how "easy" a trail section is supposed to be. Don't EVER split up or leave anyone behind alone. Keep something to defend yourself wherever you go. You don't necessarily need a gun, but HAVE something... a hammer, a ball bat, walking stick (you'll see they're pretty popular actually... for reasons), even a damned ol' golf putter's a deadly weapon if you know what you're about... You just don't know who you could run upon when the Appalachian Trail runs from Georgia all the way into Canada with a criss-crossing mish-mash of game trails, logging roads and wagon trails... blind waterways and run-offs... rock-falls, and who knows what all, and it can change and shift at any time without notice, so just because you've been there a year ago, doesn't mean it's going to be anything like you friggin' remember. You've been warned. ;o)

@ValkeersYT 2 года назад

So true on the children part. Really reminds me a bit of a concept in the manga berserk. In there an elf explains that people rooted deep in the physical world (so to speak) can't perceive elves. With children being too young to have a "steady" worldview, who knows if they may be able to experience and perceive things, we all have long forgotten when growing adult. Its also kinda telling how the younger kids are the more they tend to have imaginary friends. What if there is something in this world that most of us humans have lost connection to due to our upbringing, technology or way of live? Just slme food for thought.

@hildahilpert5018 2 года назад

Maybe it was a bigfoot Knows it sounds silly but is possible. Also the idea of elves could be possible. They definetly believe in them in Iceland , and the Irish too believe in faries,etc. These stories are ancient , just like some of the native american legends of skin walkers, sasquash, etc. There may indeed be something to the tories. Funny thing is, my late father would sometimes referr to cotton tail bunnies, chipmunks , or other small creatures as "The little people". Now my dad was german, not irish, so why he called them that don't know. Do know that some of the relatives were foresters in the Schwarzwald, so maybe that's were that comes from.
