Thousands of people have gone missing in our National Parks under strange circumstances. Many times they disappear without leaving any clues behind. No blood, no tissue, no clothing. Other times their remains are found hundreds of feet uphill, and this is especially strange for babies and toddlers that go missing. In one case a toddler's tooth and cap of his skull was found years later but with no other evidence. Their clothes have also been found years later with basically no dirt on them and in the same condition. There have even been cases when people go missing and are found unconscious several miles away and unable to recall anything, defying distances anybody could normally travel. The main question is, who or what is abducting these people or for what motive? Disturbingly the government has not been as cooperative as we would want them to be and has stifled a number of Freedom of Information Act requests.
I've always known National Parks to be beautiful but dangerous places. When I go to them I always have my guard up, whether I'm just hiking and taking pictures or practicing shooting my guns. Yet I never was aware of how many people go mysteriously missing in these places and leave basically no signs behind.
As somebody who tries to always keep an open mind, I was fascinated, entertained, and even scared by David Paulides' new documentary film. His background in law enforcement makes his journalism even more striking.

See for yourself how eyeopening these accounts are. If you rather not buy his video, then he has some pod-casts that are equally fascinating. (
