Speaker 1: Hello friends. Today we're going to be discussing something just
Speaker 1: a little different now. In recent years, many people have
Speaker 1: been coming forward and telling their own personal experiences more
Speaker 1: and more where they have vanished for some period of time,
Speaker 1: but then came back, either with a bizarre story to
Speaker 1: tell or no memory at all of where they had been,
Speaker 1: what they had seen or done, etc. Many of these
Speaker 1: cases happened to children, usually very young children, who, if
Speaker 1: they told a fantastical story something strange happening to them
Speaker 1: in the woods, are forced where they ended up lost.
Speaker 1: It could easily be chalked up to a wild imagination
Speaker 1: of a frightened child, although many have noticed a pattern
Speaker 1: or two here in these particular cases with children, especially
Speaker 1: What followers are just a few cases where children seemingly
Speaker 1: vanished into thin air and or under his oarre circumstances,
Speaker 1: only to come back with a tale equally as or
Speaker 1: possibly even more strange and incredible as the disappearance. It's
Speaker 1: the earliest report of something like this happening is from
Speaker 1: August of eighteen ninety seven and takes place in Masardis, Maine,
Speaker 1: United States. This part of Maine is known for its
Speaker 1: extremely dense woods and forests and many lakes and streams,
Speaker 1: running around and throughout again beyond the lookout for patterns
Speaker 1: here or parameters which are familiar to many of our
Speaker 1: other videos on this channel. I say this because this
Speaker 1: whole incident started with a six year old little girl
Speaker 1: named Lilian Carney, who was out with her mother picking
Speaker 1: berries blueberries. As a matter of fact, the family wanted
Speaker 1: to spend a nice relaxing day together in the woods
Speaker 1: of Mull and Bog. According to Lillian's parents, the girl
Speaker 1: had vanished from right under their noses. Now, while exact
Speaker 1: details aren't very clear this far in the future as
Speaker 1: to exactly how the girl went missing, her parents simply
Speaker 1: said she was seemingly there one minute and gone the
Speaker 1: very next. What started as a small preliminary search turned
Speaker 1: into more than three hundred searchers, all calling out for
Speaker 1: the girl by name and looking through every known edge
Speaker 1: of the woods, all to no avail. Lilian was gone
Speaker 1: for almost two entire days and nights. After scouring and
Speaker 1: searching the entire forest and woods, forty six hours after
Speaker 1: her parents had reported her as missing, Lilian was found
Speaker 1: alive just a couple of miles from where she had
Speaker 1: first disappeared, So in all that time, she hadn't gotten
Speaker 1: very far. Why hadn't the over three hundred searchers and
Speaker 1: professional rescue teams found her. I know, in the eighteen
Speaker 1: hundreds they didn't have the technology or knowledge of forensics
Speaker 1: like we have today, but still you'd think they'd have
Speaker 1: searched the area where Lilian ended up. She wasn't very
Speaker 1: mobile in the amount of time that she was missing.
Speaker 1: It's not as though she were walking around the entire
Speaker 1: time either. Around ten o'clock in the morning on the
Speaker 1: second day of the search, a man named Bert Pollard
Speaker 1: found the missing girl. Despite immediately crying out for her mom. Uh,
Speaker 1: Lilian seemed healthy, happy, and even content. When Bert found her.
Speaker 1: She was still holding the berries in her hands she
Speaker 1: had picked while in the presence of her family before
Speaker 1: she disappeared. Now this is some two days later, almost
Speaker 1: her father had just gotten done telling her that she
Speaker 1: must be careful, for some berries found in the woods
Speaker 1: could be harmful, even deadly and poisonous. The little girl
Speaker 1: was scared. Perhaps these fresh blueberries were some of those
Speaker 1: bad kinds, and while she dared not eat them, she
Speaker 1: didn't think to get rid of them for some reason. Yes,
Speaker 1: that's right. She carried around a handful of blueberries for
Speaker 1: forty six hours while lost in the woods and trying
Speaker 1: to find her way back to her parents. Lilian seemed
Speaker 1: absolutely fine and didn't have a scratch on her When
Speaker 1: asked what had happened. Had she wandered off why? Here
Speaker 1: is what the young girl had to say. Lilian, in
Speaker 1: a perfectly calm and matter of fact voice, informed everyone
Speaker 1: she was quote in a place where the sun was
Speaker 1: constantly shining. This was strange because she was missing for
Speaker 1: forty six hours. She'd gone missing during the daytime and
Speaker 1: was found in the morning as well. Therefore, she would
Speaker 1: have had to have experienced at least two nightfalls. It's
Speaker 1: just not possible for the sun to shine the whole time.
Speaker 1: Obviously the sun doesn't shine all day, but since eventually,
Speaker 1: in addition to the sun apparently never sitting in this place,
Speaker 1: Lilian claimed she was at the entire time she was missing.
Speaker 1: She also told people there were strange beings the size
Speaker 1: of her cat who she would keep away from her
Speaker 1: by clapping loudly. Allegedly, it would start with the being
Speaker 1: and like a cat, it would run away. Some people
Speaker 1: wondered how she clapped holding a handful of berries. Perhaps
Speaker 1: she laid them down picked them back up again. We
Speaker 1: don't know that part of the story, but that does
Speaker 1: make this story even more bizarre. Why had she been
Speaker 1: so adamant to keep these fresh berries with her, which
Speaker 1: she wasn't even sure if they were poisoned or not.
Speaker 1: It's question no one thought to ask her, and therefore,
Speaker 1: unfortunately we don't have an answer. While she said the
Speaker 1: beings she encountered were the size of her cat, and
Speaker 1: some sources even reported the girl saying the beings even
Speaker 1: resembled her cats as well. However, that one detail about
Speaker 1: what the creatures actually look like has never been revealed.
Speaker 1: She was only six, so some of it must have
Speaker 1: been hard for her to describe and put words too.
Speaker 1: She also said she'd heard the searchers looking for but
Speaker 1: hadn't been able to at first clearly hear her name,
Speaker 1: so she didn't approach and actually hid for fear they
Speaker 1: were vagrants or strangers. She only heard strangers yelling loudly
Speaker 1: in the woods, and her six year old mind couldn't
Speaker 1: put two and two together to realize they were there
Speaker 1: to rescue her. It's unknown if William even realized rescuing
Speaker 1: was something she was in need of. The girl seemed
Speaker 1: to be justifying where she was, at least in the
Speaker 1: first few minutes she was found. Once she finally heard
Speaker 1: them shouting her name, though clearly, and was sure of it.
Speaker 1: Only the end did she show herself. The searchers and
Speaker 1: the authorities, of course, searched the area and the surrounding
Speaker 1: area of where Lilian was eventually found, but they found
Speaker 1: no entities or creatures that look like cats, and in
Speaker 1: fact nothing strange at all. Night came and went as
Speaker 1: normally as did the day. Many of the people involved
Speaker 1: chalk this up to a scared six year old wild imagination,
Speaker 1: thinking or perhaps even pretending her pat cat was there
Speaker 1: with her for comfort, and possibly playing pretend that the
Speaker 1: sun was still shining so it's not to have to
Speaker 1: deal with their inherent fear of the dark. This is
Speaker 1: exactly the point many have been trying to make, not
Speaker 1: just about Lilian's case, but of all the cases of
Speaker 1: children who have vanished and returned in this way. Is
Speaker 1: whatever this is, whatever is happening in the woods, and
Speaker 1: who or whatever is responsible? Are they purposely choosing victims
Speaker 1: who won't be believed simply because of their age or
Speaker 1: their intelligence, no matter what it is they have to say,
Speaker 1: say could be, or so it seems, at least to some.
Speaker 1: We discussed this in the comments later. Now, the local
Speaker 1: press reason that the sun Lilian was seeing was actually
Speaker 1: the moon, which was full and in the clear country sky,
Speaker 1: and she thought maybe it was a dimmer sun. Also,
Speaker 1: they insisted the strange beings she was seeing were rabbits.
Speaker 1: These rabbits were allegedly what she likened her cats, although
Speaker 1: in reality neither of these could possibly be the case. However,
Speaker 1: because upon further investigation, turns out it was overcast both
Speaker 1: nights she was missing, and therefore the moon wouldn't have
Speaker 1: been visible to the little girl. The sky would have
Speaker 1: actually been much darker than normal because the stars and
Speaker 1: moon would have been covered by this overcast state. Also
Speaker 1: about the rabbits, Lilian was from the region and knew
Speaker 1: the difference between cats and rabbits. With all the tension
Speaker 1: on missing people in the woods in national parks these days,
Speaker 1: all these with very little answers and people like us
Speaker 1: just trying to figure it out, we're bound to come
Speaker 1: across some strange and bizarre tales of the woods, any woods.
Speaker 1: These extremely peculiar cases take place all around the world.
Speaker 1: Our next case happened in Sweden in nineteen twenty two.
Speaker 1: An eight year old boy named Austin Ingstram left school
Speaker 1: with a friend, and instead of going straight home, the
Speaker 1: two young boys decided to go to a third friend's house,
Speaker 1: where there were many of their school mates just playing together,
Speaker 1: as eight year olds often do. When Austin had finished
Speaker 1: playing with his friends, it was around three thirty pm
Speaker 1: and time for him to take the usual short and
Speaker 1: very familiar walk home. It was something he did so frequently.
Speaker 1: He said later that he could have done it with
Speaker 1: his eyes closed, and if the walk was any shorter,
Speaker 1: he just may have been able to. However, by seven
Speaker 1: thirty pm, four hours after Austin was last seen leaving
Speaker 1: his friend's house to walk home, his parents started to worry.
Speaker 1: His mother sent his older brother Gustav to go and
Speaker 1: find him and bring him home. So I was able
Speaker 1: to track down some of Austin's classmates who had been
Speaker 1: with earlier. The children told him they hadn't seen Austin
Speaker 1: since he had left alone at around three thirty pm.
Speaker 1: Just to have walked Austin's entire route home, the same
Speaker 1: way he knew his brother would have gone, but found
Speaker 1: no sign at all that he had ever walked this direction.
Speaker 1: Gustav became very scared and very worried about his brother.
Speaker 1: He was deciding how he's going to break the news
Speaker 1: to his parents, especially his mother, about the fact that
Speaker 1: he wouldn't be bringing Austin home. He was thinking about
Speaker 1: this and who knows what else, I'm sure as he
Speaker 1: walked into the house, he immediately noticed, however, that he
Speaker 1: didn't have to be sad or worried after all. His brother,
Speaker 1: Austin was sitting there on the couch next to his mother,
Speaker 1: telling an extremely strange story about what had happened to
Speaker 1: him and where he had been for almost five hours.
Speaker 1: Other than shivering due to being extremely cold in temperature,
Speaker 1: Austin looked perfectly fine. Terrified, sure, but physically fine. Nothing less.
Speaker 1: Now here's what eight year old lost And had to
Speaker 1: say about his almost disappearance. He says he was walking
Speaker 1: home when, for some unknown reason, he randomly and for
Speaker 1: the first time in his life, decided to take a
Speaker 1: short cut through the woods. He essentially felt the need
Speaker 1: to go through the deep woods and forest, instead of
Speaker 1: staying on the clear trail which he was so familiar with.
Speaker 1: He went on to explain that the entire woods had
Speaker 1: seemingly come alive, in his words, with all kinds of
Speaker 1: wildlife crawling out of the bushes and trees, just coming
Speaker 1: literally almost out of nowhere, to scurry around in front
Speaker 1: of him in a seemingly playful manner, just to scamper
Speaker 1: off again just as quickly. And he says, the skies
Speaker 1: grew suddenly dark. The day seemed overcast, but strangely it wasn't,
Speaker 1: as the sun was seemingly still shining so brightly down.
Speaker 1: It's like some veil had been thrown over the sunny day.
Speaker 1: What he described sounds like when storm clouds roll in,
Speaker 1: how the sky looks, and how the air starts to feel.
Speaker 1: It was like that no storm was rolling in that day. Suddenly,
Speaker 1: he said, he smelled something very gross and acrid, something
Speaker 1: unlike anything he'd ever smelled before, And he later went
Speaker 1: on to explained quote, I looked up and noticed three
Speaker 1: gray objects hovering silently above me. They were so close
Speaker 1: I could have thrown a stone at them. The objects
Speaker 1: were pulsating, as if they were breathing, and I saw
Speaker 1: two dark lines on them. A bit further away over
Speaker 1: the woods, another two objects were floating. They were bigger
Speaker 1: and darker than the ones above me end quote. He
Speaker 1: apparently blacked out or passed out after he saw these
Speaker 1: pulsating objects both above him and in the distance. He
Speaker 1: claims the next thing he remembered was lying on the
Speaker 1: road in the pitch dark of night, not too far
Speaker 1: from his home. He was freezing cold and disoriented. When
Speaker 1: he relayed all this to his parents, they attributed his
Speaker 1: claim to his wild imagination. Ghostops swore he had thoroughly
Speaker 1: searched the road and the exact spot even where Austin
Speaker 1: claimed to have been when he came to between the
Speaker 1: time he left his friend's house at three point thirty
Speaker 1: until he wandered home around four to four and a
Speaker 1: half hours later. Other than the objects he saw in
Speaker 1: the sky, Austin had absolutely no memory at all. Years later,
Speaker 1: Austin would be interviewed by some UFO researchers from Sweden,
Speaker 1: and here's what he explained to them all these years later,
Speaker 1: quoting here where was I during those hours? I estimate
Speaker 1: hiving been gone for around four to four and a
Speaker 1: half hours. When I arrived home, I almost got beaten
Speaker 1: because they thought it was lying. They sent me to bed,
Speaker 1: and I was bedridden for four days. Probably I'd got
Speaker 1: a cold. While lying in the road. It looked as
Speaker 1: if the objects were pulsing simultaneously, all three of them,
Speaker 1: just like octopus functioning. They take in water and move
Speaker 1: by blowing it out. It looked like the objects use
Speaker 1: the same technique. They moved in a very elegant way,
Speaker 1: changed direction and appeared to steer it with this postsetting.
Speaker 1: Where was I Gustav cycled this way while I was
Speaker 1: lying there without seeing me. I've pondered this so many times.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: There's still no word as to what happened to Gustav.
Speaker 1: He went to his grave never knowing the answers. We
Speaker 1: know that, most likely since the beginning of time, the
Speaker 1: woods and forests of this earth have attracted countless legends
Speaker 1: and myths, creatures of old and beyond. The thing is,
Speaker 1: we can never really tell what's true and what isn't
Speaker 1: even those of us like myself who have experienced strange
Speaker 1: things in the woods. What is the reality of what
Speaker 1: we saw and what was our minds that's filling in
Speaker 1: to help us seize the shock and possible tear we
Speaker 1: just witnessed. Are these tales based from reality or has
Speaker 1: reality created these tales of necessity or whatever else. As
Speaker 1: I've mentioned previously, these types of phenomena take place throughout
Speaker 1: every country in a cross to every culture. A next
Speaker 1: alleged true tale takes place in Ethiopia in the nineteen sixties.
Speaker 1: There was a nine year old boy who is unknown,
Speaker 1: so we'll just call him Joe. Joe for Ethiopia, I know,
Speaker 1: I know, so anyways, Joe and a friend of his
Speaker 1: named Gabriel were playing in the backyard of his home.
Speaker 1: It's worth mentioning here that the whole yard was fenced in.
Speaker 1: As the boys were talking around and doing whatever little
Speaker 1: boys do, Joe says he turned for a split second
Speaker 1: to show away a fly, and when he turned back
Speaker 1: to Gabriel, he was gone. Alledgedly though, and let me
Speaker 1: set the scene for you. Joe and Gabriel belonged to
Speaker 1: the one percent of Ethiopians at the time who were
Speaker 1: the ruling elite, the one percent who were wealthy. Joe's
Speaker 1: father was the Minister of the Interior and Gabriel's dad
Speaker 1: was supposedly a four star general in the Ethiopian Army. Allegedly,
Speaker 1: the backyard from which Gabriel disappeared from was surrounded by
Speaker 1: brick walls. They were ten feet tall. Guards patrolled outside
Speaker 1: of these walls and the fence as well. So where
Speaker 1: did Gabriel go? This was big news, the disappearance of
Speaker 1: a high ranking general's kid, especially in a place like
Speaker 1: Ethiopia in the nineteen sixties. Everyone thought it was going
Speaker 1: to end up being a political kidnapping. Remember, both kids'
Speaker 1: parents were very high ranking, wealthy, and important members of society.
Speaker 1: Gabriel was gone without a trace for six whole months.
Speaker 1: The investigation of his disappearance turned up nothing that entire time,
Speaker 1: and literally never went anywhere. What kind of leads could
Speaker 1: you possibly have with a kid who was there one
Speaker 1: second and gone the next. Joe stuck to his story
Speaker 1: because he alleged it was the truth, and we all know,
Speaker 1: especially in this community, the truth doesn't change a little.
Speaker 1: After the six month mark of the day Gabriel simply disappeared,
Speaker 1: he returned. Actually, he returned just as quickly and seemingly
Speaker 1: out of nowhere as he had originally been one day.
Speaker 1: He was just there. He was simply standing in almost
Speaker 1: the same exact spot in the backyard from which he
Speaker 1: had vanished that day while playing with Joe. Upon reappearing,
Speaker 1: Gabriel was dazed and confused. Once that it was confirmed
Speaker 1: that he was physically okay and unharmed, everyone started asking
Speaker 1: where he'd been and what had really happened to him.
Speaker 1: This is where the whole thing gets so much more
Speaker 1: unbelievable and a bit fantastical, at least to some people.
Speaker 1: Gabriel claimed he had been taken on a trip by
Speaker 1: some nice men. He stated he was in a bright,
Speaker 1: all white room with hundreds of other kids, all playing
Speaker 1: and talking it sightedly, just as confused as Gabriel was
Speaker 1: about where they were and most likely how they got there.
Speaker 1: He said there were so many children, all from different countries.
Speaker 1: The nice men, who, according to Gabriel, had been the
Speaker 1: ones to take him on this trip, had been Caucasian.
Speaker 1: Explained how surprised he was when he realized they spoke
Speaker 1: Ethiopia assolutely as he did. He also said he could
Speaker 1: understand the other children, even though they appeared to be
Speaker 1: different nationalities. It was like although nobody spoke the same language.
Speaker 1: They could still all understand each other. Somehow. The light,
Speaker 1: glowing room he was brought to and kept in had
Speaker 1: no windows, and the door seemed to blend into the walls.
Speaker 1: Essentially there was no way out. There were buttons on
Speaker 1: the walls for all different things. If he pressed the
Speaker 1: button for a bed, a bed would come right down
Speaker 1: out of the wall for him to sleep on. He
Speaker 1: told him how one moment he was in this white room,
Speaker 1: and the next he was standing in the center of
Speaker 1: a huge city. He had no clue how it had
Speaker 1: ended up there, kind of like how he ended up
Speaker 1: being transported somehow from the backyard to the room in
Speaker 1: the first place, He said, the city was glowing and sparkling,
Speaker 1: immaculately clean. There were other people there who looked strange
Speaker 1: like us, but different, he says, us meaning humans. I
Speaker 1: suppose one of the nice Caucasian men stayed with him
Speaker 1: and took him to a very tall building, where he
Speaker 1: had to stay in another room for a while. However,
Speaker 1: Gabriel stated that that room was fun. It was an
Speaker 1: entertainment room, which had the same buttons in the first
Speaker 1: room he was teleported to allegedly, but these buttons allowed
Speaker 1: him to travel to other places. Example, one button brought
Speaker 1: him to a beach, the other a desert, yet another
Speaker 1: a mountain. Though he was always alone and always contained
Speaker 1: in the room, while somehow simultaneously traveling to these places. Again,
Speaker 1: he instinctively knew he couldn't leave if he'd wanted to.
Speaker 1: He claimed the room could even fly. After staying in
Speaker 1: this room for what he thought was only a few hours,
Speaker 1: he was back in Joe's backyard in Ethiopia again. And
Speaker 1: here it is once again. I thought it worth mentioning
Speaker 1: when the person doesn't realize how long they've been gone.
Speaker 1: Gabriel was gone for six whole months and thought it
Speaker 1: had only been a few hours. Of course, nobody believed
Speaker 1: Gabriel's story, Keeping in mind here how religious the country
Speaker 1: Ethiopia was at the time, most thought him to be
Speaker 1: possessed by the devil. He was even forced to see
Speaker 1: some local priests to help rid them of these demons.
Speaker 1: That's all we could find on Gabriel's story, besides that
Speaker 1: he is extremely intelligent and had a really smart career
Speaker 1: and ended up working in Holland. So, as we talked
Speaker 1: about in the last video, not only kids but adults
Speaker 1: as well who seemed to vanish into thin air and
Speaker 1: without a trace involuntarily, only your return days, hours, or
Speaker 1: even weeks or months later, with bizarre stories to tell.
Speaker 1: This is a phenomenon that has been happening basically for
Speaker 1: as long as things like this have been able to
Speaker 1: be documented, and actually probably much further before that, since
Speaker 1: the beginning of time. Perhaps we like to call this
Speaker 1: phenomenon almost vanished, because that's pretty much exactly what happens
Speaker 1: many times when the person is missing for so long,
Speaker 1: their mode one kind of gives up hope, and even
Speaker 1: in some cases the person will come back and find
Speaker 1: they've been deemed legally dead. I think it would be
Speaker 1: prudent of us to take a closer look into these
Speaker 1: cases of almost vanishings and see if we can find
Speaker 1: some kind of connection, maybe end up with at least
Speaker 1: a theory or two on what exactly is going on here.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: The problem is, there is no real commonality between these
Speaker 1: except the almost vanishing. As you'll see if you watch
Speaker 1: the first almost vanished video. It spans across generations and
Speaker 1: cultures all around the world, and it doesn't discriminate at
Speaker 1: all as to who it chooses or whatever it is
Speaker 1: in any of these specific situations. With all that being said,
Speaker 1: let's begin now. This first encounter is pretty vague on details,
Speaker 1: but it was added because not everyone is as comfortable
Speaker 1: as coming forward with their experiences, their abductions, if you will,
Speaker 1: and we feel everyone has the right to be heard, considered,
Speaker 1: and at least taken seriously until there's an actual reason
Speaker 1: to dismiss or not believe the person. This account takes
Speaker 1: place somewhere in the Middle East. That's all we know
Speaker 1: is a person doesn't use any real names and also
Speaker 1: has fictitious names for where the events are occurring. He
Speaker 1: says it happened in a country he is calling topia,
Speaker 1: just to protect the integrity of his hometown, as many
Speaker 1: people there don't believe in such things and would be
Speaker 1: horrified if they heard something like this was happening. Who
Speaker 1: knows the danger this person could be putting themselves in
Speaker 1: just for daring to mention anything like this, especially publicly
Speaker 1: in an online community based forum for the entire world
Speaker 1: to possibly see. In here, so here he is in Topia,
Speaker 1: and this is a village that's so small everyone knows
Speaker 1: not only everyone else, but their business as well. Sounds
Speaker 1: familiar to places I've lived. There was a boy who
Speaker 1: I'm going to call Jason just for the purpose of
Speaker 1: this story. Jason was around the age of twelve when
Speaker 1: this happened, and he was from a typical middle class family,
Speaker 1: the same as every other boy his age and family
Speaker 1: in this small village he lived in. Jason's father worked
Speaker 1: as a nurse, and his mother stayed home and care
Speaker 1: for the home and the children, a homemaker. The thing is, though,
Speaker 1: Jason was an actual genius, a child prodigy who wasn't
Speaker 1: anything at all like the other kids in this village.
Speaker 1: He was especially smart and science and math, and he
Speaker 1: even made the teachers a bit uncomfortable because nobody could
Speaker 1: understand where a boy liked Jason, who came from a
Speaker 1: well liked but very average family, could be top of
Speaker 1: his class every single year and do well in all subjects,
Speaker 1: but especially math and science. He excelled beyond description in
Speaker 1: these two especially now. This village is so small that
Speaker 1: the school bus didn't go to anyone's house to pick
Speaker 1: them up, but had certain pickup points, if you will,
Speaker 1: all around the village. It was set up so that
Speaker 1: each of the kids would have to walk no more
Speaker 1: than five or six minutes to get to the nearest
Speaker 1: pickup point from their homes in order to catch the
Speaker 1: school bus. One day, however, Jason never made it home
Speaker 1: from school. Of course, his parents were scared and worried
Speaker 1: beyond belief and decided to call on the bus driver
Speaker 1: to find out when Jason had gotten off the bus. Remember,
Speaker 1: it should have taken him no within five or six
Speaker 1: minutes to walk from the closest pickup point to his house. Also,
Speaker 1: there would have been a group of kids with him
Speaker 1: who all met every school day at the same pickup
Speaker 1: spot to not only catch the bus, but also to
Speaker 1: get off at the spot where it stopped to let
Speaker 1: them off for their short walks home. Jason should have
Speaker 1: never been alone. That's just how it was all set
Speaker 1: up in this village. The bus driver explained that Jason
Speaker 1: had gotten off the bus at the exact same spot
Speaker 1: he did in half of the past eight years that
Speaker 1: he'd been going to school. There was nothing strange, odd
Speaker 1: or off about him or his appearance or behavior that day,
Speaker 1: and it was just like any other. Now. This was
Speaker 1: according to the bus driver. The authorities in the town
Speaker 1: were alerted and thus began the search for young Jason
Speaker 1: of Topia. The authorities concluded that Jason had to have
Speaker 1: gone missing in a short distance from where the bus
Speaker 1: stopped and where his house was. He must have had
Speaker 1: to separate from a group of other children somehow and
Speaker 1: walk alone. But how long would that have been for?
Speaker 1: Remember the five to six minute timeline that we're working
Speaker 1: with here, must have been done during say two or
Speaker 1: three minutes that he was lone, and poof, he was gone.
Speaker 1: Many search parties started looking for him, but with no success.
Speaker 1: There was absolutely no trace of Jason at all. It
Speaker 1: was like he'd gotten off the bus and then disappeared
Speaker 1: into thin air. Goes on to explain that this was
Speaker 1: a country in the Middle East, and it happened in
Speaker 1: the nineteen eighties. So when the police gave up their
Speaker 1: search for Jason after just two weeks, no one was surprised,
Speaker 1: and his parents were left heartbroken, and the small village
Speaker 1: was left scared and scarred. What had happened to Jason
Speaker 1: and couldn't happen again, but this time to their children.
Speaker 1: Three weeks after he'd gone missing, though, Jason reappeared again
Speaker 1: and went home. He arrived at his house at the
Speaker 1: exact same time he always would. After getting dropped off
Speaker 1: by the school bus and walking home, he was wearing
Speaker 1: the same exact clothes he had been wearing the day vanished.
Speaker 1: Here's the thing, though, when Jason arrived and walked into
Speaker 1: his house, his family reactions startled and concerned him. Why
Speaker 1: were they crying hysterically and hugging him as though they
Speaker 1: hadn't seen him in a long time. It was like
Speaker 1: he thought they hadn't seen him in weeks or something
Speaker 1: went In fact, according to Jason what he remembers, he
Speaker 1: had just seen him that morning when leave him to
Speaker 1: catch the buzz. After his parents explained to him how
Speaker 1: long he had been missing and everything that had happened
Speaker 1: and that they had gone through in the past three weeks,
Speaker 1: he was dumbfounded. It was impossible. What happened to Jason
Speaker 1: remains a mystery to this day. He was never the
Speaker 1: same again, and he ended up being below average and
Speaker 1: his intelligence after this encounter. It was almost as if
Speaker 1: something had taken him and either stole his genius, actually
Speaker 1: took his intelligence, or he was just so traumatized in
Speaker 1: a subconscious for all the memories he'd blocked out. The
Speaker 1: cause is unknown, but Jason, I'm sorry to say, never recovered.
Speaker 1: He went on to work in an average job after
Speaker 1: his grade slipped significantly and tremendously. Next up, in nineteen
Speaker 1: eighty four, in the Northern Carpathian Mountains in the country
Speaker 1: of Romania, there was a four year old boy who
Speaker 1: disappeared under strange circumstances, only to come back and as
Speaker 1: an adult tell his story on a popular form for
Speaker 1: things like what had happened to him? Here's his story.
Speaker 1: He was visiting a mountain village and resort area called
Speaker 1: latradr Nai. He was with his grandparents and that particular day,
Speaker 1: the weather was great, so he and his grandparents decided
Speaker 1: to take a walk and explore the village. He explains
Speaker 1: that to him, the day felt almost perfect, with birds
Speaker 1: chirping and the fresh air just had a beautiful spring
Speaker 1: smell to it. However, when his grandparents wanted to go
Speaker 1: in toward the local shops, he was insistent he didn't
Speaker 1: want to go in with him. He still has no
Speaker 1: idea why to this day that he was so adamant
Speaker 1: about not stepping foot inside this particular store, as it
Speaker 1: was just like every other store basically in the area.
Speaker 1: There was nothing special or scary about it. As his
Speaker 1: grandparents tried to literally drag him, kicking and screaming, into
Speaker 1: this store, he decided, with all the wisdom before year
Speaker 1: old could muster, to pretend he was a dog and
Speaker 1: reason to them that dogs weren't allowed in the store.
Speaker 1: He clung as hard as he could to a nearby
Speaker 1: light pole and actually got down on all fours with
Speaker 1: his tongue hanging out, and began panting and barking, just
Speaker 1: to try to convince his grandparents in their heads that
Speaker 1: he was in fact an actual dog, that there would
Speaker 1: be in big trouble should they drag him along inside.
Speaker 1: This was a boy who was experiencing actual terror at
Speaker 1: the thought of this particular and seemingly very normal and
Speaker 1: regular store. His grandmother was by now extremely frustrated and angry.
Speaker 1: She stopped trying to drag him and yell, fine, dogs
Speaker 1: stay where you leave them, and let the little boy
Speaker 1: stay as where he was on all fours clinging to
Speaker 1: that nearby light pole. Now, as his grandparents walked into
Speaker 1: the store, the boy, happy to have finally gotten his
Speaker 1: own way, decided that he liked being a dog and
Speaker 1: continued on all fours, panting, barking, and rubbing his ears
Speaker 1: with his pretend dog pole. He was acting as if
Speaker 1: he were tied to that pole. And then, he says,
Speaker 1: and suddenly focused into consciousness. I don't know how else
Speaker 1: to describe a slowly growing sense of recognition, a laking
Speaker 1: up or maybe wiping off dirty glasses, and suddenly being
Speaker 1: able to see properly. I hope that makes sense. After
Speaker 1: somehow gaining this mysterious clarity, he suddenly got up and
Speaker 1: started walking the right way towards something. He says. He walked,
Speaker 1: and before he knew what was happening, the shop was
Speaker 1: about five hundred meters behind him. He was in some
Speaker 1: sort of days, but not He couldn't really think of
Speaker 1: how to explain what happened or how. He just couldn't
Speaker 1: find the words. He says, he suddenly realized that there
Speaker 1: were no people at all anywhere. Just before he was
Speaker 1: playing at being a puppy, there were tons of people
Speaker 1: in crowds all around. It was a tourist spot, after all,
Speaker 1: a resort town. People everywhere were shopping and seeing the sights.
Speaker 1: But now all of a sudden, there was nothing and
Speaker 1: no one, not even that spring scented wind that he
Speaker 1: talked about enjoying earlier, it wasn't blowing anymore. There were
Speaker 1: no birds turfing. He says, I walked in absolute silence.
Speaker 1: I suspected that all movement around me had stopped. My
Speaker 1: mind was working miraculously, effortlessly and crystal clear, even at
Speaker 1: that age. I'm marveled at that. Since then, I've never
Speaker 1: reached that level of clearness and concentrated logic, and that
Speaker 1: is a remarkable thing. So, while he's walking along in
Speaker 1: the serie silence, which by the way, we talk about
Speaker 1: all the time in this channel, especially with things in
Speaker 1: the woods such as glimmer Man encounters and so many
Speaker 1: other starring stories which our listeners have generally sent to
Speaker 1: us through email, he says he then looked at his feet,
Speaker 1: and as he was walking, he noticed that he was
Speaker 1: somehow producing six long shadows into every direction. I was
Speaker 1: the center of this shadow star. He started to ask
Speaker 1: himself where all this light could possibly be coming from.
Speaker 1: I mean, to produce six shadows, he would need six
Speaker 1: light sources. But he says, there was no sun, no stars,
Speaker 1: no light whatsoever. Yet here he was throwing out a
Speaker 1: multitude of shadows. It was strangely dim, and yet there
Speaker 1: wasn't a single light source to be seen. What in
Speaker 1: the world was going on here? When reminiscing about this day,
Speaker 1: he says he refers to it as being behind the
Speaker 1: curtain or having gone into the hallway of reality. He
Speaker 1: claims that somehow he came into focus and finally started
Speaker 1: to realize something strange was going on. He was still
Speaker 1: holding the light pole when he came to again. He explains,
Speaker 1: he only used the term came to for lack of
Speaker 1: a better way to explain how he was coming out
Speaker 1: of this strange and unusual trance. He says he felt dazed,
Speaker 1: and then suddenly his grandfather had him by the shoulders.
Speaker 1: His grandparents were furious and looked scared, both of them
Speaker 1: screaming and asking him where he had been and where
Speaker 1: he had wandered off to. He was incredibly confused. Remember
Speaker 1: this is a small child of only four tiny years.
Speaker 1: He hadn't gone anywhere really, except for what he now
Speaker 1: considered to be a trip in his head that lasted
Speaker 1: five minutes. It seems, though, that he was completely wrong,
Speaker 1: as he came to realize his grandparents had been frantically
Speaker 1: searching for him. For the Lord knows how long, people
Speaker 1: started gathering around, at least ten of them as he
Speaker 1: insisted he had stayed at the pole pretending to be
Speaker 1: a doggy. The people around him were conversing with his
Speaker 1: grandmother in hush tones as he heard them all insinuating
Speaker 1: that he hadn't been there just a minute ago. And
Speaker 1: by the way he was telling this story, although he
Speaker 1: didn't state it definitely, he hadn't been there for quite
Speaker 1: some time. Truth is, he had been gone for more
Speaker 1: than five minutes when he thought he had just taken
Speaker 1: a trip in his head. He later became extremely sick
Speaker 1: with symptoms we would know his food poisoning for almost
Speaker 1: an entire week after this encounter. Everyone in fact dead
Speaker 1: chalk it up to something he must have eaten. He
Speaker 1: found it strange, though, that his grandparents waited months before
Speaker 1: they even told his parents what had happened, that they
Speaker 1: had somehow lost track of him, and when he refused
Speaker 1: and the way they saw it, to tell them where
Speaker 1: he really was, he was never able to make it
Speaker 1: back to that weird place, and to this day has
Speaker 1: no idea what in the world happened to him where
Speaker 1: he had gone, or why was it possible that this
Speaker 1: young man was almost abducted? This seems to many the
Speaker 1: most reasonable explanations for what happened to him, especially considering
Speaker 1: his age. He was only a toddler basically, but we
Speaker 1: are seeing more and more lately about toddlers and very
Speaker 1: young children being lured into the woods by someone, or
Speaker 1: more likely something, whatever it was cause them mirage. Was
Speaker 1: he brought into an alternant dimension? Did the grandfather grabbing
Speaker 1: him and shake him and cause the abduction process to
Speaker 1: be disrupted? Or were the things he was seeing and
Speaker 1: feeling just planted there while something more terrible and possibly
Speaker 1: horrific went on. Unfortunately, we may never know the true answer.
Speaker 2: Every year, hundreds of people are reported missing in national
Speaker 2: parks and forests, many of them children, and most are
Speaker 2: eventually found, whether dead or alive, but a small percentage
Speaker 2: of the cases are never sold.
Speaker 1: William Callahan was walking to the summit with his family
Speaker 1: when he wandered off yesterday afternoon. The Alabama Law Enforcement
Speaker 1: Agency has issued a missing child alert. It's her four
Speaker 1: year old Evelyn.
Speaker 2: Sides Charlie, missing with her pit bull Penny somewhere out there.
Speaker 2: Police believe just beyond those trees down that road.
Speaker 1: Hello friends, Today we're presenting the latest installment of our
Speaker 1: Almost Vanished series. Now, in recent years, many people have
Speaker 1: been coming forward and telling their own personal experiences more
Speaker 1: and more where they had vanished for some period of
Speaker 1: time but then came back, either a bizarre story to tell,
Speaker 1: or no memory at all of where they had been
Speaker 1: or what they had seen or done. Many of these
Speaker 1: cases happened to children, usually very young children, who almost
Speaker 1: vanished but either simply reappeared or were found nearby within
Speaker 1: a short period of time in areas previously searched. In
Speaker 1: this video, we'll be discussing six of these cases, starting
Speaker 1: with three year old Abby Ladwig. Abby went missing from
Speaker 1: her home near winter in Wisconsin when she was last
Speaker 1: seen following the family dog, a tan and brown cocker
Speaker 1: Spaniel named Peanut, on the evening of August ninth, twenty twenty,
Speaker 1: at about six forty five pm. She's wearing a black
Speaker 1: shirt with yellow flowers on it, and she was barefoot.
Speaker 1: A Facebook page called Light the Way Home for the
Speaker 1: Missing posted a plea from Abby's mother which said, my
Speaker 1: daughter went missing around six forty pm from the house
Speaker 1: her dog Peanut might be with her, but not for sure.
Speaker 1: She's been gone for fourteen and a half hours and
Speaker 1: still not found. Peanut can be a great to watch
Speaker 1: out for her. Abby, however, is very shy and shuts
Speaker 1: down fast and won't say nothing if she is scared,
Speaker 1: so please keep that in mind. She's wearing a black
Speaker 1: shirt with sunflowers on it and white underwear with a design.
Speaker 1: Peanut does not have her collar on, but if she's found,
Speaker 1: please call right away, as Abbey might be around where
Speaker 1: Peanut is that The Sawyer County Sheriff's Office asked the
Speaker 1: public to check any video footage they may have had
Speaker 1: to see if they could spot the little girl. Volunteers
Speaker 1: as well as multiple law enforcement agencies were involved in
Speaker 1: the search. Around seven to twenty pm the next day,
Speaker 1: Abby and Peanut were found walking from the woods into
Speaker 1: a neighboring yard a short distance from her home. Little
Speaker 1: Abbey had minor scratches, bug bites, and was dehydrated. After
Speaker 1: being missing for nearly twenty four hours, she was taken
Speaker 1: to the local hospital, where she was treated and released.
Speaker 1: As far as we know, she sustained no long term
Speaker 1: injuries and simply walked around the woods with her dog
Speaker 1: the entire time she was gone. She has no memory
Speaker 1: or recollection of why. Next up his nine year old
Speaker 1: Stratton Joshua Wright. Stratton was hiking with his family members
Speaker 1: in their home state of Iowa when he suddenly was
Speaker 1: separated from his family and ended up being reported missing
Speaker 1: when they couldn't find him after doing their own extensive search.
Speaker 1: He'd gone missing west of Bear Lake in the Henrysport
Speaker 1: Drainage area on Wednesday, July first, twenty twenty, after he
Speaker 1: became separated from his family at around eight twenty pm.
Speaker 1: Nobody saw where he went, and nobody could explain how
Speaker 1: he had become separated from his parents. He was last
Speaker 1: seen walking north, but should have remained within sight of
Speaker 1: his mom and dad. For whatever reason, however, Stratton just
Speaker 1: kept walking and ended up missing. Cruise searched the Henry's
Speaker 1: Pork area, though you went to Wassatch Cash National Force
Speaker 1: throughout the night, both on ground and in the air,
Speaker 1: but couldn't find the young boy anywhere. The next day,
Speaker 1: Stratton was found and reunited with his father. An oppressed
Speaker 1: briefing Thursday, a spokesman with the Sheriff's office said Stratton
Speaker 1: went to an open field after spending a night in
Speaker 1: the woods where he waited, realizing searchers would be looking
Speaker 1: for him. Police, helicopters, horses, and searchers were looking for
Speaker 1: the boy, but his father spotted him in the open
Speaker 1: field and recognized him immediately. According to Summit County Sheriff
Speaker 1: Justin Martinez, when Stratton realized the man he saw was
Speaker 1: his father, he ran to him and the two were
Speaker 1: reunited in tears. After she was discovered and safe, Stratton
Speaker 1: wanted a Twix candy bar. According to Martinez, Stratton had
Speaker 1: no reason why he continued walking until he was lost.
Speaker 1: Next is Charlie Campbell. On Thursday June seventh, twenty eighteen,
Speaker 1: two year old Charlie Campbell disappeared from her grandparents' Bullet
Speaker 1: County home and was missing for thirty five hours before
Speaker 1: she was found alive but severely dehydrated and covered in ticks.
Speaker 1: Charlie is generally nonverbal, but candor peate things said to her.
Speaker 1: She was unable to articulate where she was when she disappeared.
Speaker 1: It seems, however, most likely that she wandered out an
Speaker 1: unlocked door and into some woods nearby the home. The
Speaker 1: family dog, who was very protective of Charlie, seemed to
Speaker 1: wander out the door and into the woods right with her,
Speaker 1: and the family has given credit to the pit for
Speaker 1: keeping Charlie safe and protected. Charlie was found around six
Speaker 1: pm on Friday, June eighth, twenty eighteen, in the thirty
Speaker 1: second hour of the search for She was only about
Speaker 1: five hundred yards away from her home, still wearing a
Speaker 1: pajama top with a frozen character on it, which is
Speaker 1: what she was believed to be wearing when she disappeared.
Speaker 1: Officials did mention that her diaper was gone. Southeast Bullet
Speaker 1: Fire Chief Eric Butler said he was sitting at Charlie's
Speaker 1: grandparents' house when the dog she was thought to be with,
Speaker 1: Pitty the pit Bull, showed up at the house on
Speaker 1: Friday evening. The fire chief said he thought Charlie had
Speaker 1: to be close by when he called Bullet Ketty's sheriff,
Speaker 1: Dottie Tindall. Tindall confirmed that they had Charlie just down
Speaker 1: the road and she was safe. Charlie had wanted to
Speaker 1: the backyard of a neighbor's house, and that neighbor immediately
Speaker 1: took the little girl inside and gave her some water.
Speaker 1: On drinking the water, though Charlie immediately threw up. Though
Speaker 1: this story seems to have a happy ending, as Charlie
Speaker 1: was found alive despite being in a bit of a
Speaker 1: rough condition. This case is unique and that charges were
Speaker 1: actually filed against Charlie's grandmother. It said that initially, because
Speaker 1: young Charlie was in her care at the time the
Speaker 1: little girl wanted off alone, the police tried to charge
Speaker 1: her with endangering a minor. However, Charlie's grandmother's attorneys argued
Speaker 1: that the police did not go through the right avenues
Speaker 1: when arresting the woman. In the state of Kentucky, the
Speaker 1: police or other witnesses must witness the negligent or the
Speaker 1: injager of it firsthand, and since nobody here saw anything,
Speaker 1: they had to immediately drop the charges the same day
Speaker 1: and go through the county attorney's office to file a
Speaker 1: different charge, which they eventually did, and they turned right
Speaker 1: around and two months later formally improperly charged Charlie's grandmother,
Speaker 1: whose name is Beth, with the original charge of endangering
Speaker 1: the welfare of him. However, it since come out that
Speaker 1: though the actual reason Beth was charged in the case
Speaker 1: is because she was allegedly admitted to using methamphetamines in
Speaker 1: the hours leading up to Charlie wandering off and disappearing,
Speaker 1: so allegedly she had been doing drugs. Instead of making
Speaker 1: sure her granddaughter was safe where she should be, she
Speaker 1: failed to keep a vigilant watch on the little girl,
Speaker 1: and because of this, Charlie was able to slip out
Speaker 1: the unlocked door, which her grandmother didn't notice for quite
Speaker 1: a while. I can't believe she survived it. Bullat County
Speaker 1: Sheriff Donnie Tanell said there's coyoties in them hills, there's
Speaker 1: copper heads and rattlesnakes and ticks, all the elements, and
Speaker 1: somehow she came out in pretty good shape. He also
Speaker 1: stated that big dog Penny, because he's big, and that
Speaker 1: child looks like it would be hard to miss, he said,
Speaker 1: but it might be a circumstance where she got tired
Speaker 1: and laid down, went to sleep for hours on the
Speaker 1: end behind the stump, or behind a tree, or who
Speaker 1: knows what a big rock it's possible to overlook. I
Speaker 1: guess if the dog laid down with her child. Protective
Speaker 1: Services took custody of Charlie after her release from the hospital.
Speaker 1: While an initial health examination. No further word on the
Speaker 1: case has been reported, but it has also known that
Speaker 1: on the day she went missing, Charlie's stepfather, a man
Speaker 1: named Charles Quick, was cleared, even though he had been
Speaker 1: out in the same woods that day. He was arrested
Speaker 1: on outstanding warrants out of Florida the day Charlie went
Speaker 1: missing as well. There has been one update on this case.
Speaker 1: Charlie Campbell was released into the permanent custody of her father, Cody,
Speaker 1: due to her ordeal and possibly some mental health issues
Speaker 1: like being nonverbal. A local area high school raised nearly
Speaker 1: ten thousand dollars in June of this year, twenty twenty
Speaker 1: one to make Charlie Campbell's biggest wish come true. The
Speaker 1: now three year old was able to meet every single
Speaker 1: one of the Disney princesses. She was able to pose
Speaker 1: in a picture with each of them, and during the
Speaker 1: lunch she shared with them, the little girl brought tears
Speaker 1: to her parents' eyes when she selflessly started passing out
Speaker 1: napkins and offering drinks to the princesses and staff. More
Speaker 1: information on the grandmother may be released to the public
Speaker 1: at some point next we have little Evelyn Vady Sides.
Speaker 1: On Wednesday, March twenty fifth, twenty twenty, at around two
Speaker 1: thirty pm, four year old Evelyn Vady Sides went missing
Speaker 1: while walking her dog in the five thousand block of
Speaker 1: Lee Road sixty six in Auburn, Alabama. Authorities say that
Speaker 1: Vady's babysitter was elderly it must have lost track of
Speaker 1: her as she wanted to wait with her dog, Lucy.
Speaker 1: Officials had searched the woods nearby where the little girl
Speaker 1: went missing, and it asked for volunteers to help find her.
Speaker 1: Police said in a statement more details about her safe
Speaker 1: return would be released soon. Baty was described in the
Speaker 1: Amber alert as a female with red hair, green eyes,
Speaker 1: and a red mark on her nose. At the time,
Speaker 1: she was three feet tall and weighed forty pounds. At
Speaker 1: time her disappearance, Evan was wearing a short sleeve floral
Speaker 1: dress and walking a hound dog. Lee County chef Jay
Speaker 1: Jones told local media what we have reported was a
Speaker 1: four real child that was in the care of a
Speaker 1: friend of the family of the child. She reported that
Speaker 1: she and the child were out near the residents taking
Speaker 1: a walk and the child disappeared pro view. The investigator
Speaker 1: scouped the wooded area near a bridge on foot with
Speaker 1: ATVs on horseback and soon with a helicopter to find them.
Speaker 1: For red heat Seff Jones sent hundreds of volunteers with
Speaker 1: the Southwest Volunteer Fire Department, Lee County Deputies, ALA troopers
Speaker 1: and the agencies from surrounding counties were involved in the
Speaker 1: search for Vady. While the volunteers suddenly heard a dog bark. Afterwards,
Speaker 1: they said the dog was actually kind of spooked and
Speaker 1: came at the man a little bit and then saw
Speaker 1: the line of about thirty of us, and the dog
Speaker 1: turned around and went down the hill. The dog was
Speaker 1: with her, protecting her the whole time, said Lee County
Speaker 1: Sheriff's Office spokesman Drew Peacock after she was found safe
Speaker 1: on Friday. Luckily, Vady was relatively unharmed and would sustain
Speaker 1: no lasting injuries or damage. It's been widely reported that
Speaker 1: her dog, Lucy, is a hero who most likely have
Speaker 1: the little girl safe until rescue came near. Next, we
Speaker 1: have William Callahan. William Callahan, a fourteen year old with
Speaker 1: nonverbal autism, became lost during a family walk at Mountain
Speaker 1: Disappointment in Victoria on Monday, June eighth, twenty twenty. His
Speaker 1: family was extremely concerned about his being nonverbal and how
Speaker 1: it may negatively effect her, even possibly hinder any search efforts.
Speaker 1: He was found on Wednesday, June tenth, near the feak
Speaker 1: of the mountain. Rescuers said William had been located about
Speaker 1: ten minutes off a bush track. He did not have
Speaker 1: his shoes, but was wearing tracksuit bottoms and a hooded sweatshirt.
Speaker 1: While it's unknown whether or not William had access to food, water,
Speaker 1: or shelter during his almost forty eight hour ordeal in
Speaker 1: the wilderness, authorities put amazing effort into adapting their search
Speaker 1: to meet William's specific needs. Police had asked locals to
Speaker 1: lay out feed at cheese, peanut butter, and other condiments
Speaker 1: in a bid to attract his attention. They're also encouraged
Speaker 1: to play the Thomas the Tank Engine theme. An autism
Speaker 1: advocacy organization praised authorities for adapting their search. We really
Speaker 1: need to adapt ourselves to the needs of artistic people,
Speaker 1: rather than expecting them to behave as we do or
Speaker 1: as a neurotypical people. Do amazed. Chief executive feel a shark,
Speaker 1: he told ABC. William's mother Penny Callahan, thanks volunteer rescuers
Speaker 1: and police. I can't imagine what he's been feeling and
Speaker 1: going through, and I'm just so grateful and so relieved.
Speaker 1: She told reporters. He appeared to be remarkably well for
Speaker 1: the time that he's been out there, said Inspector Christine
Speaker 1: Lelour of Victoria Police. She told reporters he had been
Speaker 1: taking to the hospital for monitoring, adding he's alert, warm,
Speaker 1: eating and drinking, and he actually asked for ric. Donald's
Speaker 1: been reported that William has since made a full recovery. Finally,
Speaker 1: we have Britain Kelsey. Fifteen year old Brittain Kelsey went
Speaker 1: missing in Utah on Red Mountain Trail outside of Saint
Speaker 1: George at around three thirty pm on fry November twenty seventh,
Speaker 1: twenty twenty. Search for him went well into Saturday afternoon
Speaker 1: and early evening, and Brittain is said to have spent
Speaker 1: the night in below freezing temperatures alone in the woods.
Speaker 1: He became separated from his family and friends as they
Speaker 1: hiked the overlooked trail in two groups. Police were told
Speaker 1: Kelsey fell behind the first group and was thought to
Speaker 1: join the second group. Sheriff's deputies and search and rescue
Speaker 1: volunteers looked for Britain until after midnight. The IHC Life
Speaker 1: Flight helicopter and the Utah Department of Public Safety helicopter
Speaker 1: searched for the air using night vision. Britain was wearing
Speaker 1: a royal blue hooded sweatshirt and gray athletic shorts when
Speaker 1: he went missing. It was reported on Saturday around five
Speaker 1: point fifteen pm that he had been found by helicopter
Speaker 1: near where he went missing. He was then confirmed to
Speaker 1: be alive and responsive with no injuries. Britain was then
Speaker 1: immediately reunited with his parents and Lieutenant David Kraus with
Speaker 1: the Washington County Sheriff's Office states at around two pm,
Speaker 1: volunteers of the Washington County Search and Rescue found shoe
Speaker 1: and pressings that were consistent with Britain. Voluntaiers were able
Speaker 1: to track the impressions to the canyon where they found him.
Speaker 1: The Utah Department of Safety helicopter was able to retrieve
Speaker 1: Britain and took him back to the trailhead, where he
Speaker 1: was treated by medical personnel. Britain was treated for symptoms
Speaker 1: of hypothermia, but was otherwise unharmed by the ordeal. Again,
Speaker 1: he had no explanation how he got lost. Well, there
Speaker 1: you have it. What do you think of these unusual
Speaker 1: almost disappearances. I look forward to reading your comments, but
Speaker 1: we do ask that you please remain respectful, especially to
Speaker 1: the pingons of others. Thank you for listening, and in
Speaker 1: the meanwhile, be good to yourselves and each other. I'll
Speaker 1: see you a little farther on down the trail. I'm
Speaker 1: Steve Stockton and I'll talk to you next time.
