hi this is Emma and-.., welcome to esoteric..

detective-"-, all around the world..-.., people go..

missing-.., in national parks..-"-, all the time..

-..,but what the general public..-"-, don't know..

-..,is that a percentage of those people..

that-.., go missing do so in a very strange..

and sinister way this small-.., percentage..

was brought to light by-.., former police..

detective-.., David Paul..-"-, lyday's who started..

researching these cases and found a

sinister upsetting pattern nearly here

which means-.., millions of people will be..

heading-"-, for national parks and national..

forests-.., as it turns out a few of them..

-"-,won't..-.., be coming..-"-, back each..-.., year hundreds..

of-.., people..-"-, are reported missing..-.., in our..

parks-.., and forests most are eventually..

-..,found but there's a smaller category of..

-"-,cases..-.., that never get solved including a..

few-.., close to home the..-"-, i-team George..

Knapp-"-, is..-.., here with the story..-"-, George..-.., it's..

not-.., a revelation to say that people get..

lost out-"-, in..-.., the wilderness or in forest..

areas-"-, we're talking about..-.., a different..

-"-,kind of mystery though disappearances..

that are not caused by predator attacks

or criminals hiding-.., out..-"-, there in the..

woods-"-, or just bad luck a former cop has..

put together hundreds of case files

-..,regarding clusters of missing persons..-"-, in..

-..,national parks where the circumstances..

-"-,are flat-out strange..-.., but don't stay..

tuned as esoteric detective brings you

-"-,six things we know about the clusters of..

missing-"-, people in national parks number..

six-.., people go missing from right beside..

family members in broad daylight-"-, it is..

like they-"-, just vanish..-.., sometimes the..

bodies of the individuals are found

miles from the location-"-, where..-.., they went..

missing-.., so..-"-, far in fact that it is not..

possible-"-, for them..-.., to have..-"-, got to the..

-"-,location..-.., that..-"-, is people..-.., are found miles..

up the sides of-.., mountains without any..

clothing on such distances from-.., where..

they-.., went..-"-, missing that they would have..

needed a helicopter to have got there in

the-"-, time..-.., frame since their disappearance..

-"-,to put this into perspective..-.., let's take..

the case-.., of..-"-, Cullen Finity..-.., who was found..

dead-"-, under strange circumstances in 2013..

-"-,finiti was a football player who is a..

giant man who

from the Midwest-"-, the New York Times..

would eulogize-.., that he was..-"-, perhaps..-.., the..

-"-,most successful quarterback..-.., in college..

-"-,football history..-.., at..-"-, six foot two and 240..

-..,pounds of solid muscle..

by all accounts-"-, affinity..-.., was your..

all-around tough American-"-, guy he had a..

character-.., which people said was stoic..

-..,and strong and people never saw him..

afraid of anything-"-, that was until he..

decided to go-.., fishing..-"-, alone one day on..

May-"-, the..-.., 26th 2013 in the Baldwin..-"-, river..

-..,deep in the Manistee National Forest..

Park early in the morning of-"-, that day..

-"-,fin ''tis wife received a phone call..

-"-,from him which was not the stoic and..

strong man that-"-, she knew Finity was..

frantically telling his wife-.., how he was..

being followed-.., and..-"-, was extremely..-.., afraid..

-..,during..-"-, the last call his wife was..-.., able..

to-.., have him give her the coordinates..

-..,from his phone but when friends and..

family went-.., to..-"-, the location..-.., he was not..

there-.., when..-"-, the police..-.., got involved fin..

-"-,ATI's cell..-.., phone..-"-, which had a..-.., global..

-"-,positioning system was traced by..-.., the..

cell phone company to-.., help get a true..

lock on his position-"-, it is worth noting..

that margin for error-"-, on a GPS..

transmitter-.., is 50 to 100..-"-, feet..-.., but when..

the cell phone company pinged-.., fin..-"-, ities..

phone-.., the coordinates that came back..

placed his phone in four-"-, different..

locations-"-, although the pings were within..

-"-,minutes of..-.., each other..-"-, the locations were..

-..,four point three seven miles apart..

-"-,Finity was later found..-.., miles from the..

-..,location of where his cell phone said he..

was with much-"-, of his clothing missing..

his fishing spenders around the wrong

way-"-, as if he had been undressed in..

reclosed-"-, and without any footwear to..

this day it is-.., unknown why he was so..

afraid and why he was found in such an

-"-,unusual manner..-.., the official report rules..

-..,the death as pneumonia..-"-, but..-.., it neglects..

-"-,the..-.., other strange evidence the fact that..

-"-,Finnerty said he was being followed the..

fact he had been undressed-.., and the fact..

that his cell phone-"-, location put him in..

four places-.., at the same time..

number-"-, five..-.., this is not just happening..

-"-,in the United States but is happening..

around the world-.., in fact strange events..

that-.., match the strange clusters of..

missing-"-, people..-.., have been found as far..

-"-,afoot as New Zealand and..-.., Australia..-"-, it is..

-"-,hard to tell the true..-.., scale of the..

-..,people that go missing in the forests..-"-, in..

such a strange-"-, way but there are enough..

countries that match cases and clusters

in the United States that there is no

doubt that-"-, the mystery is global number..

four strange dark storms have something

to do-.., with the people going..-"-, missing..

-..,witnesses describe a dark storm that..

made them-.., afraid and sometimes..-"-, a..-.., thick..

sudden mist-.., the mist descends and then..

the people-.., are gone those that are found..

alive-.., often are..-"-, only..-.., people that..-"-, cannot..

talk such as very young-"-, children or..

-..,people..-"-, with speech..-.., impairments..-"-, in..

another recent-.., video which will be..

-..,linked at the..-"-, end of this one you can..

-..,see how a group of lighthouse keepers in..

the-"-, flaner Islands described a similar..

storm that made them afraid-.., in their..

journal logs before-"-, they went missing..

-..,the lighthouse keepers in this case..

however-.., were never found..

number three the-.., people often go missing..

in places that-"-, tribal people believe are..

cursed or evil-.., and have..-"-, ancient tribal..

names to match and also-.., search dogs..

-..,cannot find these missing people when..

-"-,people go missing under these strange..

circumstances-.., dogs that search the area..

turn up nothing-.., it's like the missing..

individuals-"-, own scent left the area..

-..,along with them the search and rescue..

services-.., also turn..-"-, up nothing..-.., then..

equally-.., as mysteriously the people turn..

-"-,up in areas that had already been..

-..,thoroughly searched..

number-.., two the missing are found dead in..

mysterious-.., unnatural ways David Paul..

-..,iodized describes one account of a boy..

who-.., was found melted into a fence that..

-"-,is melted to a fence like candle wax..

there are also descriptions of strange

lights-.., in..-"-, the sky and reports of UFO..

activity-"-, by those lucky enough to be..

left as witnesses

number one there is-"-, a cover-up and it..

involves the government-"-, evidence for..

this comes-.., in the form..-"-, that regarding..

-..,the missing person clusters the United..

States Park Service will do-.., everything..

it can-.., not to give out records of any..

-..,missing people even to those engaged in..

-..,investigations with the police the..

United-.., States..-"-, Parks Service seemed to..

guard what is happening like it is a

matter of national security-"-, when a..

-..,government agency is blocking..

information about those dying in the

-..,national parks it does lead one to..

-..,believe that there is some kind of..

cover-up happening as these records-.., are..

-..,almost certainly a matter..-"-, of..-.., public..

-..,interest..-"-, the individual cases are..

strange enough Politis says but-"-, stranger..

still were-.., the reactions..-"-, of federal..

agencies-.., when he asked..-"-, for public..

-"-,records..-.., and when we fired them we got..-"-, a..

response back-"-, that they don't keep any..

-"-,lists..-.., of missing people the response was..

-"-,not only no but hell no he says so it..

began putting-.., his own..-"-, list together and..

discovered what appears to be nearly-.., 30..

clusters of-.., disappearances in national..

parks-"-, and forests cases which meet a..

narrow set of-.., odd characteristics what..

do you think is-.., happening..-"-, and what do..

you-.., think the Park Service is hiding do..

you think that there is-.., something truly..

sinister going-.., on..-"-, or is this just..-.., a case..

-"-,of something..-.., that looks strange because..

-"-,we have so little information stay tuned..

and subscribe to esoteric-.., detective to..

keep up-to-date-.., with the strange and..

unusual-"-, and please give a thumbs up if..

you liked-.., the video..-"-, until next time if..

you-"-, find yourself in a..-.., national park..-"-, and..

see a storm coming maybe-.., you should make..

-..,sure you are armed so you don't go..

gently into-"-, that night..
