    The nature of missing persons cases can vary greatly, both in terms of their individual circumstances, and their eventual outcomes. But few such disappearances match the complexity and mystery of those we will be examining in this episode. Instances where those who went missing, having vanished in front of multiple witnesses, seemingly into thin air.

    These stories have really given me something like 'the creeps'. Being an old woman, I am seldom affected by stories, movies, interviews, & etc., but this episode has resonated with something deep in my psyche. I don't know why. But I can only imagine the horror and anguish of hearing your loved one begging for help but not able to see or find them, knowing they are somewhere you cannot reach them. I don't want to ponder on this for long, it is upsetting.

      I remember when Walmart started putting them up in the 90's.
      The one that stuck out for me was the disappearance of a soldier who was moving from one army installation to another. His disappearance occurred in the late 70's, 3 years before I myself enlisted in the army, and that's what caught my attention to it. I haven't thought about it for a long time now, but if I remember correctly, he disappeared after leaving Ft. Lewis Washington to his new duty station to either Ft. Knox or Ft. Campbell Kentucky.

    There is a very similar tale in Missing 411. A German mathematician/ cosmologist was on a trip in the southwestern US. He stopped along the highway to take a short hike to a sightseeing area and disappeared. A reporter came by the park ranger's office to interview him on the disappearance, but he was on the phone, so she decided to look around herself. While on the trail, she heard a man yelling for help, bit no matter where she went, she could not find him. She raced back to tell the park ranger. His face went pale. He said the exact same thing was witnessed by a search and rescue worker the prior day. No remains have ever been found on the short, flat, open trail.

      There are portals all over the world and it would appear that the United States National Parks have quite a few of them. With that being said, whenever I hear stories or the testimonies of people who’ve literally disappeared in thin air as to where the person who was looking for them can only hear the faint cries of their voice without being able to see where the sounds of their voice is coming from, totally reminds me of when Will Disappeared into the Upside Down in the tv show Stranger Things. It’s as if that person somehow managed to walk into a parallel dimension that overlaps the physical realm we live in. Furthermore, there is just so much we don’t know about the world we live in and unfortunately, the powers that be do not want the standard rank and file citizen to know the truth.

    Perhaps Charles Ashmore fell into a sinkhole. These are sometimes part of an underground cave network. Some of these are shallow enough that someone could potentially survive a fall after breaking through the thin limestone crust over the void. I've never been to Quincy, IL but looking at publicly available geological surveys, it seems that the western & southwestern portion of Illinois is riddled with them. If it was snowing heavily enough, the loose snow around a sinkhole could potentially collapse over the opening and cover it up right away...similar to the fairly common (and unfortunate) phenomenon of how a snowboarder/skier who fell into a tree well could be buried by the loose snow around the entry site. That may explain why his tracks seemed to end suddenly. If Charles survived the initial fall into a sinkhole, he may have then called out for help but the original hole was already covered. His voice could have penetrated through the snow either where he fell or maybe sound was carried through the underground cave network in such a way that the voice appeared to emerge from a nearby area to trick those on the surface as to its origin. His calls for help would have weakened over time until he ultimately died from cold/starvation.

    Bierce wrote stories that today would be called creepy pasta.

    These remind me of the old stories of people stumbling into "fairy circles" areas of rocks or vegetation in circles that could be mere feet or yards across. Stepping into one at the right/wrong time ( depending on how one views it ) one was pulled into the fae realm. Usually one becomes stuck there, and at times one is completely unaware of the passage of time. There have been reported instances ( supposedly ) where a lucky friend or family member has been in the place at the right time and could hear the missing person. One tale told of a boy who actually dared to step one foot into the circle and leave the other outside the circle and managed to not only see, but catch gold of his brother and bring him back out after several years.And the boy who had been missing had no idea he'd been gone for more than a few moments, as he'd been attracted to the music and dancing of the fae.

He did not specify. But it makes you think of a UFO. And ive seen the damn things twice in my life.. they do exist! Once with my neighbor. But the thing was so huge that i doubt it could even land anywhere in the area.. probably came from a place 3 or 4 times the siz of earth! No joke.

    yeah, one theory you guys didn't go over, but I feel has serious merit, is that the whole "disappearance" of the first guy, was a cover story. IE the man who related it was lying to hide the fact he let the guy get assassinated.
    the other two are just creepy ghost stories.

    For everyone that’s thinking they’re somehow SAR experts, let me tell you as someone who has actually volunteered and has many friends that do that for a living.
    You basically break down the entire area in at least a 10 mile radius into a grid. In that grid is 6-8 feet squares, usually that overlap on the borders so that way nothing is missed. They then cover that entire grid going up to down, and then left to right. You compare this with almost every SAR unit having dogs, air oversight, and forest rangers that have intimate knowledge of the areas.
    Sinkholes as an answer is idiotic as sink holes in almost any terrain are completely obvious as they create a huge disturbance in the ground, and any fresh ground will be looked at with ground penetrating radar, and would be easily found by dogs.
    Animal predation is a different story but ANY life or death struggle, animal on animal, or animal on human, will absolutely leave a disturbance. Blood, drag marks , ripped clothing, etc. Once again dogs are trained to smell animals as well. Most SAR missions can cover hundreds of square miles and people missing like this would not be able to cover the distances outside of the SAR zone by any type of normal means.
    People talking about how these cases can be explained by lazy SAR or somehow missed have not worked in the forest nor have any real idea of the outdoors. Yes you can get lost, but believe me people leave trails WHEREVER they go.

    The kid and the farmer sounds more like they fell into a crack and were lost between dimensions and the cracks eventually either sealed or shifted and they probably didn't end up anywhere at all and are in limbo. Not sure which would be worse going to a new dimension/parallel universe or being stuck in between where there's probably just nothing but lost people.
