Missing 411: Unexplained Disappearances in the Wilderness
It’s a sad fact that sometimes people just vanish.
The causes for their disappearance and the methods of their vanishing are many but there
has been a widely covered group of vanishings that have captured headlines becoming known
as the “missing 411” These people came from all walks of life the
commonality they share is that they all went missing after venturing out into the wilderness
of North America.
This then leading to the perplexing mystery of the many hundreds of thousands of Missing
411 cases.
Could this phenomena be global, could a series of strange disappearances on the opposite
side of the world offer up some more clues?
Are there links between the “missing 411” in the USA and Australia’s Black Mountain
vanishings?
Let’s take a look.
Welcome to if ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….
Let’s begin by explaining the name, many get confused and think that it is the number
of people whom have vanished, it is not.
It actually refers to an inconspicuous computer term.
411 being the error code that is thrown when a pc cannot locate data, a metaphor that works
for the thousands of disappeared people its referring to.
We are all well aware that in a world as hectic as todays it not uncommon to lose touch with
people, even as social media continually creeps into all aspects of our lives we still lose
contact with family friends and loved ones.
In the United States some 90,000 people are reported missing each and every year a staggering
number.
With figures this high it is virtually impossible for the authorities to investigate each and
every case.
One man however has stepped up to the plate.
A veteran police officer with over 20 years’ experience began looking into some of these
disappearances and he uncover some strange patterns and events.
David Paulides discovered that many people vanished while out hiking and yes Mother Nature
can be cruel but with the number David uncovered something more than misadventure had or has
to be occurring.
Many of those that vanished were also accomplished outdoors people making it even stranger that
something should happen to them.
The investigator does not hazard a guess as to what has happened to these people instead
he hunts the truth, compiling data and evidence in the hope of finding an answer to some if
not all of the cases he takes on.
During his investigation he has found that are hotspots for the disappearance of people,
concentrations or clusters of reports that seem to share little in common.
This is the mystery that has led many to craft their own theories on what has happened to
the people disappeared from the face of earth and became part of the 411.
The ideas stretch from the plausible to the absurd, some say that it is a series of abductions
being carried out by evil extraterrestrials, taking these people to experiment on or even
eat!
The wilderness being the host to many dangerous animals has other saying that these unfortunate
people became the lunch of a mountain or bear some even ask if Bigfoot is responsible.
Darker theories have also been proposed, these making mention of active serial killers or
even cults snatching people away to be used in rituals.
Those who are more into government conspiracy claim that these people are being taken by
secret government agencies to be used as test subjects in projects they compare to the likes
of MK – ULTRA!
David Paulides says that a lot of these vanishing occur near rocky terrain or streams and rivers
and that this could explain the lack of a body if someone had, had an accident.
But with very little evidence to go on we are still left asking, what happened to these
people?
Could we find an answer or more questions with a number of disappearances reported in
Australia?
Is there a relationship between these disappearances and older case, famous cases like from Australia?
Like what was reported to have happened in Queensland Australia?
In the back country of Australia is an out crop of boulders which were formed from magma
some 250 million years ago.
This ashen rocks are known as the Black Mountain or maybe more ominously called The Mountain
of Death.
The Kuku Nyungkal people of the region have long shunned the mountain, calling it Kalkajaka,
meaning “the place of the spear”.
The location is home to labyrinthine cave systems, these caves being the site of many
haunting local legends.
The aboriginal people of the area avoid the rocks and caves at all costs and through most
of recorded they have been the location of strange stories.
Old tales of monsters and demons living in the caves to more modern reports of UFOs and
extraterrestrials being seem amongst the rocks.
The caves are said to whistle cry and wail they sing a song that beckons men to their
doom!!
Many have been reported as going missing in the area of the black mountain and this is
where we may get some insight into what is happening with the American missing 411.
Over the years a collection of tales has grown up around the rocks.
One such story coming from the indigenous people of the area.
They tell a story of cannibal witch doctor that called the caves home.
The people were so fearful of the man that they would appease him by leaving the old
and sick at the foot of the rocks for him to consume and this is just the beginning.
Locals warn people away from the area with them claiming that there is something there
which makes electronic and mechanical devices stop working.
The effect being so strong that pilots have been cautioned about flying over the rock
formation for fear they will crash.
The Black Mountain is said to have cavernous underground chambers that are a source of
some unknown type of power, this mysterious energy is said to be generated by an underground
alien base.
These subterranean extraterrestrial are said to be reptilian and kidnap unsuspecting people
who have wondered into their domain.
The rocks themselves are said to be an artificial structure built by these aliens, while others
say that it is the work of an extremely ancient civilization.
We know that across the US there are many locations that are said to be the location
of underground bases some alien, some human, others a combined effort, could this be why
so many are disappearing?
Could it be like the stories from Black Mountain?
Disappearances were first recorded by westerners in 1877 when a colonialist courier went out
on horseback looking for a lost calf.
The fate of the calf also befell the man as he and his were never seen again, stranger
stories followed with a band of outlaws attempting to take refuge in the rocky region vanished,
with this and other people turning up missing in the area the reputation of black mountain
grew with the western settlers, maybe they should have heeded the aboriginal warnings
to stay away!
Moving forward in time to 2001 two men unwisely chose to camp near Black Mountain, during
the night an eerie silence fell over the bush.
This in itself being unusual, the men were awoken by the sounds of rocks tumbling this
then gave way to the noise of firm footstep on the cold night ground.
The men sprung form the tent, they hoped to surprise what they assumed was an approaching
man.
They were stunned when they a large black figure standing in front them, as their eyes
focused to the nights light the apparition dissolved into thin air!!
As I think anyone would, they hurriedly packed up and made b route straight for home.
So are places like Black Mountain and Yosemite Park hotspots for the paranormal or the location
of underground alien bases?
Are the people that disappear being abducted by strange forces?
