The most fascinating and scary are the stories when people, adults even, disappeared from the company of others in such close proximity. Truly hair raising. Thanks for sharing this.
I'm in the woods a lot and all I can say is keep a weapon and a device that's trackable with you. Also if you're way out and you see other people try not to let them see you. There actually are some people that live out in the wilderness and most of them left society for a pretty negative reason. There are also a lot of people that grow weed or even cook dope and some will kill to keep that secret.
05:40 _"A bicyclist said he may have seen Jason in the park, naked and chanting."_ *MAY* have?! If I saw someone like that while biking, I'd be pretty damn sure of it, I think.
Do you have anything/information on Elizabeth Mathews. She disappeared back in 1998 in February . She was 48 at the time. She went on a hike near the grand canyon. She( my aunt) worked for USFS as a geologist. She was also a experience hiker and loved the national forest. She has never been found. As of today, she is still missing. She lived in Flagstaff AZ.
This is almost too strange. So many people vanishing into thin air. The way it happends has a regularity or logic into it which repeats itself again and again. Realy scary.
I've hiked and camped dozens of the places rusty does these cases on, yet I'm still here. Besides them rocky mountains can kill anyone any time with something as little as a slip, it's really not that creepy that people vanish in em once you've seen what those places are actually like first hand.
@@jimbob465 When you meet many visitors or watch them, public land visitors that is, you sometimes wonder why the numbers of missing and injured is not higher than it is. I used to make 2,000 - 3,000 visitor contacts per year in the field, not including those I saw at the visitor centers. Between my observations and the questions I was asked I found that a lot of people lacked the skills and knowledge necessary to survive some situations they could get themselves into. I'm retired from the U.S. Forest Service and worked in the field most of my career, successfully avoiding management/desk positions most of my time.
@Road Rants I don't know why you didn't mention the Sierra Nevada of California, it contains the largest area of Congressionally, contiguous designated wilderness in the continental U.S. I worked in them for just over 20 years after transferring in from New Mexico and two other states I was in during my U.S. Forest Service career.
When I view your reports I ache for those who loved these missing people. How horrific a grief to experience not knowing why or where or how. Thanks Rusty.
Too many experienced hikers/campers don't have basic survival skills and virtually no bush crafting knowledge. That being said most of these cases don't seem to involve getting lost. They seem to just vanish.
I would disagree. When bodies are located, sometimes many years later, the situations can often be reconstructed and poor decisions and accidents are usually the root cause.
It has come to my attention by several listeners that Jesse Sgro was found deceased about the same time I uploaded this video. Sgro's body was found in about 12-14 feet of water. His canoe was located on the other side of the lake with all his personal belongings still inside. Thanks to those who updated us on this case. My condolences go out to the friends and family of Jesse. abc11.com/fayetteville-man-missing-in-bladen-county-state-park-found-dead/3342634/
It's strange that his canoe wasn't turned over but they say this.... "A park ranger said Sgro's body was found in the middle of the lake, several hundred yards from a nearby pier, in 12 to 14 feet of water. The ranger said* it appeared Sgro had been struggling to swim*." I wonder what put him in the water to struggle in the first place.
While I hate that this is happening to our brothers and sisters, I am so grateful to Rusty for putting in the hard work and keeping us informed. Stay safe out there!
The real person trying to keep people safe and informed is the police officer and investigator David Paulides. Search his interviews on RUclips they're the real ones and he's been investigating this for years and has books. This guy just copies his stories.
And there you have it. Thank you, dear Rusty for your work. Always awaiting for your well presented videos. You keep the memories of all these disappeared people alive by sharing their stories with us.
Kepano The work that Rusty does further raises awareness of such phenomenon as unexplained and strange disappearances of our brothers and sister. I’d only wish more and more people were spreading the word and info about this frightening reality we are living in. I highly respect the work of David Paulides but in such subject there is no and can not be a monopoly on discussing such a troubling issue. I do appreciate your comment and I do share your respect for David Paulides dedication and his efforts to shed the light on unexpected missing people cases practically all over the world. I know Russian language and RUclips has numerous videos on missing people all over Russia that match cases similar to what David Paulides and Rusty discuss. Scary and sad indeed. Sorry if I sound too direct. I didn’t mean disrespect.
LadyJ Hermit: me too. But i would still pick the beauty and solitude of the forest anyday over civilization and being around people. I’m more afraid of humans than the stuff that might be out there making people go missing.
Well I don't know I always loved hiking and I have often hiked alone in the past. But after researching these cases from Paulidas & Rusty West, I am more careful. Nowadays if I did, I want someone with me and sure I have defense in case of something 'unplanned' comes up
Hey Rusty, the Christopher Tompkins case would have to be the top of the list for me as absolute Fringe stuff, which goes along with toddlers who climb mountains and valleys in this maze. Love your passion and past experience and so glad you chose to share your passion on my favourite topic of “What The” Stuff . Your tone it’s just so mesmerising and the mystery so real and so intriguing.
The only thing I can think of is that the missing people end up walking into a portal into another dimension, even though I am skeptical about the existence of other dimensions. So I guess I now have to consider that other dimensions may exist after all.
These cases are very strange, especially #3 about the young surveyor. It amazes me how someone can vanish without a Trace when others are around. Very strange. Thanks for the excellent videos
GILBERT LUNA and 50ft isn't that far away.. You would think someone would yell or scream if something happened.. If an animal attacked someone wouldn't someone hear something ?? Its not the city where there's tons of noise.. And it's weird his stuff was thrown about along the road and his shoes missing in 2 different places.. Like did this guy ditch his work crew and try running away for some reason .. Were they being watched by some freak? There are only so many possibilities
White Out WOW,ARE U SERIOUS ??I REALLY NEVER KNEW THAT.THATS SO CRAZY CUZ OTHER CASES PEOPLE'S SHOES WERE ALWAYS MISSING.🤔🤔I THINK IT IS SUPER CREEPY IN THOSE WEIRD WOODS.WE DON'T REALKY KNOW WHAT IS TAKING ALL THESE PEOPLE AND IT'S IN CLUSTERS ALL OVER THE UNITED STATES.SO SCAREY HUH?
GILBERT LUNA the young black guy from this videos boots were found 900 yards apart.. 1 along a treeline near barbed wire the other hanging from barbed wire like he climbed over but no blood found... Weird
Sacred Shaman - After reading several books on this phenomena about the missing I've come to think that some it's just bad luck or decisions, some it's intentional, some meet with other human beings that cause their demise and some well something horrific is taking place we've yet to be able explain. Once you compile the mountains of data reports many parrallels and patterns emerge that can't be denied ir dismissed. The similiarites are not coincidences. The subject is vast and the speculation immense. I keep reading.
You make every disappearance you present very personal to each individual . I enjoy David Paulides videos , but yours have a way of introducing them to us, one by one. I like that Mr. West . 🐾
i used to be really into solo camping. till one night i was looking for a nice clearing to set up. i had started late and it was getting dark. i started to hearing branches breaking in the distance, the sound of people coming towards me. looking to avoid and interaction with others as i was deep in the park alone i hid. and i see three men walking back with ski masks one and machetes in their hands. as soon as the coast was clear i got the hell out of there.
no ones disappears within moments of someone looking back who's only 50ft away. something would have been heard or seen. those trees looked thin so you'd be able to sense or see anything to the side of you. Looks like the middle guy knows more
Its so exciting getting a notification of a new upload from Rusty's channel. Thanks for putting the time, effort and caring energy into making these videos and spreading information on these important missing persons cases
Cool Breeze Ok. I don't trust anything but my steel. If things go awry your partner is most likely going to run in the opposite direction. Guess a buddy doesn't hurt though. Be sure to use* a buddy system.
Rusty thanks for all you are doing man, I pm'd you a couple links to 2 more events from British Columbia and hope you will research and use them in an upcoming video. Thanks again for bringing awareness to these missing people stories!
Good to see a video that is back to your 'Rusty West' classic of missing hiker compilations. This is the format that made you famous Rusty so we all hope you'll continue with this format. Don't forget that Canada and Mexico have a lot of missing person cases too, .
I like how these videos come out. I like the end when you put up the victims faces with this somber music it brings it into reality, that these were people & they are missing and some never found just have no clue what happened. Thank you for doing these videos!!
Rusty..am sure you heard about Art..We lost a good one..TY for your efforts...stay safe..and please keep the videos coming..in that way we do not let these lost souls be forgotten...
Yah, I saw that :( I used to listen to many years ago on the radio when I had to transport to work every night. I've felt in many ways that I lost a good friend ever since I heard this, even though I never knew him. Rest in Peace Art
Our household have all subbed to you since day one and we always look forward to the latest videos. These are great. keep em coming as well as the latest individual cases you have started doing please and thanks :)
I know that in several of the missing cases with people ditching their clothes, it's something to do with paradoxical warmness/heat in which in a fit of hysteria in the cold, they suddenly become very warm and strip naked to cool down only to freeze to death. Some of these sound like kidnappings, and while I never want to accuse or suspect foul play of those who came back stating that they don't know what happened, sometimes that's the case. Either way, raising awareness for safety while traversing national parks is commendable and should be promoted.
I am relatively new to your channel, but I have already watched a ton of your videos! Keep up the good work Rusty, you're doing an amazing job. Also, got to say, your voice is so calming!
Rusty , thank you for your site .I am 70 now and spent most of my life in love with the wilderness.I have an internal compass that allowed me to go where I pleased without a second thought. This often baffled others including much more experienced hunters. "where are you going Neal?"Back to the truck of course.The truck isn't that way Neal. When we walked in here this oak tree was on our left. This brought laughter from my companions.You go that way and when you get tired just stop we'll come find you Neal. The twist in this story is that we had parked the truck within 300 yds. of one of their houses !!! I did not have keys to the truck so I just kept on to his house. His wife asked where the others were and I explained. She was a full blooded Seneca and had a good laugh.She declared that I must have some Indian blood and that I had better go find them before dark.When I found them they told me not too tell anyone about this.Too late !Your wife already fed me.........The reason I am telling you this story is that the stories of the missing are heartbreaking, and they make me crazy!!!!! Between you and David Paulides I can't make any sense out of those who disappear. What the hell Rusty?
Rusty I go out every single night in the Feather River Canyon in Plumas Nat. Forest with my dog. I'm always looking for different weird things. still haven't found the big guy. 🌲🌳🌲🌳🌲🌲🌳🌲🌳🌲🌳🐕🐹🐢🐇🐤🐥🐦🐺🐗🐍🐸🐖🐆🐯🐻🐆🐆🐆🐆🐆🐆
Well done, again, Rusty! I personally prefer no "mood music" in the background, but I understand that much of the public likes it. For me....your voice and the story sets the mood perfectly.
PLEASE EVERYONE, never go into the wooded hills alone, especially not when camping or in the dark! I now feel that the Predators both known and unknown, are responsible for a huge bulk of the missing, and the rest are missing after being killed by an evil man, or after a fall or exposure. Some get lost, but many who are never found are familiar with the area and are those who spend a lot of time in the woods. I pray that all of the victims are found so their families have closure.
Do you think that the experienced hikers or campers are stalked by whatever this is beforehand ? If they frequent the area often, wouldn't that be an easier target? Whatever it is can get a feel for if it's armed , experienced , etc.
Thank you, Rusty, for your noble cause shining a light on the people missing in the wilderness. Your efforts are very appreciated. Strange things happen to people who are the last one in a single line, or separate from their group. I think the surveyor was taken away by invisible aliens. He has screamed if an animal had attacked him. VERY scary case, it gave me the creeps
Thank you for showing these videos, so important. Jason Kyles...so sad, it does sound like he broke down. I have felt that mental break and did not know what year it is...dark times... So someone saw him naked and did not report it??? Odd
Great work, Rusty! Thanks for keeping us informed. Do you know of any stories of folks having similar experiences in wooded areas right in their own towns?
16:31 1. Eric Lewis - ok, I’m not a hiker/mountain 🧗♀️ but, that just gave me the chills. How can someone unclip from a rope that you’re connected to with 2 other people and no one realize it or see you?!! I was skeptical at first when I started watching these disappearance in parks videos, but some of these cases are way too bizarre to think that it’s a reasonable explanation. Especially the way a good chunk of these ppl seem to have vanished into a thin air and leave no trace! Wtf!? 🤯😳🤨
Thank you for your time making these videos.... and giving the public knowledge about these cases. I'm much more careful I national parks now that I know what happens... thanks to you!!!
herbielina true. However it seems to be a theme with mysterious missing folks. Missing people under strange circumstance is kinda my life currently. So.. Also, if you look into his case, he was not one of those types who did rip tags out.
I cut tags out of all my shirts, but I see what you mean. If he had a psychotic break, he may have felt a compulsion to do it feeling it his him better...very peculiar and sad
Grand Canyon Park disappearances are some of the most mysterious ones--Most hikers are inexperienced and might accidentally fall off either of the rims (North/South), but there are a few, like Travis Butler, who were good at hiking but still end up gone w/o a trace. :(
Most of these so far as I’ve watched, are young healthy men. David Paulides, reports certain areas of missing persons and or found deceased persons, were young healthy men. I just find that odd, of course all of this is strange . To hike in national parks ? These days no think I’ll pass. Thanks good video, nice you honored them at the end. These people missing have people that love them . God Bless these family’s and friends, of those.
The remains of Bruce Decker found months later on the Indian Ladder trail recently reopened after another hiker had been badly injured the previous year by falling rocks.
I spent over half a century tramping around trailheads, up and down the Sierras/coastal ranges and except for a few dog fights no problems but I was super prepared/aware always. These fine times? Well!! Roaming homeless desperate people crowded highways, collapsing biosphere UV thru the roof makes life very precarious indeed!!! Over half a century watching lovely mother nature take a spear before my eyes, recently this grand lady entered hospice ~~ our end is near ~~
Good video. Easy to listen to background music; much better to look at scenes in the parks or elsewhere, than just start at one screen for the whole time. Also good voicing. Very interesting - I'll watch more. Thanks.
my thoughts exactly. i dont get how being so close to the road and only being 50ft apart from each other how the two of them never heard or saw anything, especially when the one in the middle looked back a moment later. those woods dont look to thick either. you're spacial awareness would sense someone by the side of you or you'd see something following you. Someone doesnt just disappear moments after he was there. you'd even see cars passing by. The middle one holds the key
RUSTY we need more of these. You should link up with David Paulides and be the pioneers for this info. Appears that you two are the only people bringing attention to this.
I do enjoy your videos quite a bit. One note... In no. 2 Tuolumne is pronounced Too-all-lumm-ee. We went camping there every year when I grew up and I loved it. It's much more crowded now but really, it's a camping area in a pretty good sized valley that is surrounded by huge mountains, rocks, and forests. You can go miles and miles without seeing any civilization.
It is so easy to become lost anywhere. Here is something you need to practice. While walking anywhere every few steps, glance back where you have come from. The lay of the land looks much different when you look back than it does when you are going forward. Also, always note landmarks, both forward and back where you are coming from.
Stay the "F" outta Yosemite, Grand Canyon, and especially Mnt Rainier. Remember, Kenneth Arnold made one of the early UFO sightings as he flew near Mnt Rainier in 1948, he saw a formation of silver boomerang shaped disc craft "skipping" like a smooth rock thrown across water on a pond, he calculated their speed based on the landmark (Mnt Rainier) and his speed. Forgot what he said it was but it was pretty incredible. Other sightings have been made in that area throuout the years also. A really weird energy there according to someone I knew who lived out there at one time.
I lived near the Grand Canyon for many years and went hiking there frequently, the more remote the better. I've lived next door to Yosemite for nearly 40 years now. I've hiked all over it from the northern to the southern boundary and extensively on its eastern boundary, as well as the wilderness areas located on the National Forests that surround that park. All in all, I feel far more secure and safe in remote areas than I do in metro areas. I been assigned to wildland fires in 10 western states and have worked fires hundreds of hours on night shifts. I'm retired from the U.S. Forest Service and have worked my regular job alone at all hours of the night and day. I feel far more confident and safe than I've ever been in a city.
The case of Jesse Sgro hits very close to home. I never really knew him or any of the Sgros, but they used to live in my neighborhood in Fayetteville, NC just around the corner. They moved about 10 years ago. Theirs is a very big family (Jesse was one of at least 12 children). It's a very sad case like the all the others
Yes. We've had good & bad experiences. We've got pictures of some of the bad. About the good/we have had people armed coming across to warn us & had other's come looking for us and tell us to get out of areas...... etc. This is not a joke....we even went into town in one area because of some incidents in that area and took the photos of suspects up in those parts who said they lived in the area. Nobody knew or recognized them/so if you're a local why do you have to go into the park and use the port a potty several times a day? At one point they drove by and because of my experience and background I had my husband walk up to the edge of the road that runs by where we were sitting. The people who drove by us had parked their vehicle ( get away vehicle) past the tree line out of view and the male subject was walking towards us with a 50 caliber gun and I took photos!
According to an article, dated April 14, 2018, by ABC11, Fayetteville, NC: -Jesse Sgro, 22, the man who vanished a week ago at Singletary Lake State Park in Bladen County was found dead Saturday. -Sgro's canoe was found across the lake from his campsite the next morning with his life jacket and cell phone still in the boat. -He was found in the middle of the lake several hundred yards from both the pier and the far shoreline, Katie Hall, a state parks spokesperson said. Sgro's body was found in about 12 to 14 feet of water. Hall said Sgro had removed some articles of clothing, apparently in an effort to swim. -
what makes more sense is that a serial killer is stalking the national parks system for victims so that it can profit financially from reporting on them as disappearances for it's RUclips channel and make it appear that it is trying to help.
Amy Lovett he writes about MANY more stories in his books than what you hear on RUclips. I simply like having the books for referencing bc he also includes different compilations of pattern data, etc. They are not written for entertainment purposes so if anyone's looking for a Stephen King novel, buy a King novel. Paulides is a retired San Jose PD cop so everything is about facts, collecting as much as possible, and not taking any leaps in assuming. He does it that way in an attempt to keep people from straying off the path and to get the patterns of commonalities ingrained into you. For the cheapest of his books, go to his actual site bc people on Amazon etc are resellers, ripping people off. Paulides' site is www.canammissing.com
Amy Lovett and yes alot more details are in the books. Some of the things people say, say they saw, or are caught on camera as in "urban dissapearances" gave me the utter creeps.
LUCKY YOU - TRYING TO GET HOLD OF THEM IS AN ADVENTURE IN ITSELF, I JUST WISH HE WOULD GET THEM PUBLISHED VIA A PUBLISHER SO PEOPLE LIKE ME IN UK CAN BUY THEM, IT ISN'T MADE EASY LOL.....

The one case in this video that spooked me the most was the surveyor who went missing even after being just yards away from his coworkers.
Murder, maybe?
Weird that they find his boot a distance away a long time later?????
05:40 _"A bicyclist said he may have seen Jason in the park, naked and chanting."_ *MAY* have?! If I saw someone like that while biking, I'd be pretty damn sure of it, I think.

Obviously that cyclist knew he had seen someone naked and chanting. It's just not certain if that was Jason.

Naked people doing weird shit in the woods is pretty common in colorado.... damn hippies
And what does one do when one has finished chanting naked? You just sorta put your clothes on and go home I guess.

No.3 is mystifying. Either his fellow workers are lying or something very unusual seems to have occurred.
Plays around in the mind, that one.
no ones disappears within moments of someone looking back who's only 50ft away. something would have been heard or seen. those trees looked thin so you'd be able to sense or see anything to the side of you. Looks like the middle guy knows more
Never hike alone is the first rule.
Its so exciting getting a notification of a new upload from Rusty's channel. Thanks for putting the time, effort and caring energy into making these videos and spreading information on these important missing persons cases
That's why I rarely go outside. Shit happens outside.
LMAO , ME TOO !
Haha
Wrap yourself in a bubble then....
You can go outside, just don't be an idiot and have a buddy system. I'd be packing a gun or two
Cool Breeze Ok. I don't trust anything but my steel. If things go awry your partner is most likely going to run in the opposite direction. Guess a buddy doesn't hurt though. Be sure to use* a buddy system.
Rusty thanks for all you are doing man, I pm'd you a couple links to 2 more events from British Columbia and hope you will research and use them in an upcoming video. Thanks again for bringing awareness to these missing people stories!
Good to see a video that is back to your 'Rusty West' classic of missing hiker compilations. This is the format that made you famous Rusty so we all hope you'll continue with this format. Don't forget that Canada and Mexico have a lot of missing person cases too, .
You will always be my favorite youtuber Rusty, thank you for all the great work and videos you do!! :D
I like how these videos come out. I like the end when you put up the victims faces with this somber music it brings it into reality, that these were people & they are missing and some never found just have no clue what happened. Thank you for doing these videos!!
Rusty..am sure you heard about Art..We lost a good one..TY for your efforts...stay safe..and please keep the videos coming..in that way we do not let these lost souls be forgotten...
Yah, I saw that :( I used to listen to many years ago on the radio when I had to transport to work every night. I've felt in many ways that I lost a good friend ever since I heard this, even though I never knew him. Rest in Peace Art
I hope people will listen and be safe out there. God bless the lost and their loved ones.
They are just as blessed as they were before they disappeared. Did a lot of good then.
Thank you for sharing these videos,people lost in Nationak Parks are not to be forgotten,Greetings from The Netherlands :)
they are taken by creatures that live in the parks,
Our household have all subbed to you since day one and we always look forward to the latest videos. These are great. keep em coming as well as the latest individual cases you have started doing please and thanks :)
I believe I will stay away from "short day hikes"!
Thanks Rusty for all the info about missing persons. The shoes that are often found puzzles me!
I know that in several of the missing cases with people ditching their clothes, it's something to do with paradoxical warmness/heat in which in a fit of hysteria in the cold, they suddenly become very warm and strip naked to cool down only to freeze to death. Some of these sound like kidnappings, and while I never want to accuse or suspect foul play of those who came back stating that they don't know what happened, sometimes that's the case. Either way, raising awareness for safety while traversing national parks is commendable and should be promoted.
I am relatively new to your channel, but I have already watched a ton of your videos! Keep up the good work Rusty, you're doing an amazing job. Also, got to say, your voice is so calming!
Rusty , thank you for your site .I am 70 now and spent most of my life in love with the wilderness.I have an internal compass that allowed me to go where I pleased without a second thought. This often baffled others including much more experienced hunters. "where are you going Neal?"Back to the truck of course.The truck isn't that way Neal. When we walked in here this oak tree was on our left. This brought laughter from my companions.You go that way and when you get tired just stop we'll come find you Neal. The twist in this story is that we had parked the truck within 300 yds. of one of their houses !!! I did not have keys to the truck so I just kept on to his house. His wife asked where the others were and I explained. She was a full blooded Seneca and had a good laugh.She declared that I must have some Indian blood and that I had better go find them before dark.When I found them they told me not too tell anyone about this.Too late !Your wife already fed me.........The reason I am telling you this story is that the stories of the missing are heartbreaking, and they make me crazy!!!!! Between you and David Paulides I can't make any sense out of those who disappear. What the hell Rusty?
Rusty I go out every single night in the Feather River Canyon in Plumas Nat. Forest with my dog. I'm always looking for different weird things. still haven't found the big guy. 🌲🌳🌲🌳🌲🌲🌳🌲🌳🌲🌳🐕🐹🐢🐇🐤🐥🐦🐺🐗🐍🐸🐖🐆🐯🐻🐆🐆🐆🐆🐆🐆
Wait need to make coffee and get a gps reading of where I am before I watch
As always an excellent video. 👍 Thank you for all of your hard work putting together such interesting and informative videos.
Well done, again, Rusty! I personally prefer no "mood music" in the background, but I understand that much of the public likes it. For me....your voice and the story sets the mood perfectly.
I've read David Paulides Missing 411 books and the Christopher Tomkins case is definitely the strangest.
PLEASE EVERYONE, never go into the wooded hills alone, especially not when camping or in the dark! I now feel that the Predators both known and unknown, are responsible for a huge bulk of the missing, and the rest are missing after being killed by an evil man, or after a fall or exposure. Some get lost, but many who are never found are familiar with the area and are those who spend a lot of time in the woods. I pray that all of the victims are found so their families have closure.
Do you think that the experienced hikers or campers are stalked by whatever this is beforehand ? If they frequent the area often, wouldn't that be an easier target? Whatever it is can get a feel for if it's armed , experienced , etc.
Omg! I just found you & I’m already in love with this channel 💯💯💯
been waiting and you did not disappoint, glad you are still active rust keep them coming.
Your narration always comes across that you have done the research and want to help find the missing
So spooky! 😨 The ones that are never found are creepiest of all. 😱 Thanks for assembling these stories!
Thank you, Rusty, for your noble cause shining a light on the people missing in the wilderness. Your efforts are very appreciated. Strange things happen to people who are the last one in a single line, or separate from their group. I think the surveyor was taken away by invisible aliens. He has screamed if an animal had attacked him. VERY scary case, it gave me the creeps
I look forward to all of your videos even though it now scares the shit out of me to hunt/camp/hike/fish etc 🤣.
Tuolumne is pronounced twah-lum-nee. I love the videos and the tremendous public service you are doing with them. Thank you!
Love the music. Very calming and respectful for the missing thank you
Love the channel Russ.......Man these things are so sad and scary at the same time.
Thank you for showing these videos, so important. Jason Kyles...so sad, it does sound like he broke down. I have felt that mental break and did not know what year it is...dark times...
So someone saw him naked and did not report it??? Odd
For me its night time, nothing like a video from Rusty before bedtime.
Rusty, you are great.. Thanks for all the work you put into these. Keep it up!
And there you have it..
Great work, Rusty! Thanks for keeping us informed. Do you know of any stories of folks having similar experiences in wooded areas right in their own towns?
Excellent as always love your work. Get care and love goes into your work. Thank you. Till next time.
The Park Ranger who shot it out with something and was found dead. I think there hiding something going on here .
Dr. G Man Saturn G I've seen Predator..could there actually be something like that loose in the woods? Weird experiments?
Bigfoot for sure
Provide a general location and a year. I have never heard of such an incident and would like to know more.
16:31 1. Eric Lewis - ok, I’m not a hiker/mountain 🧗♀️ but, that just gave me the chills. How can someone unclip from a rope that you’re connected to with 2 other people and no one realize it or see you?!! I was skeptical at first when I started watching these disappearance in parks videos, but some of these cases are way too bizarre to think that it’s a reasonable explanation. Especially the way a good chunk of these ppl seem to have vanished into a thin air and leave no trace! Wtf!? 🤯😳🤨
Thank you for your time making these videos.... and giving the public knowledge about these cases.
I'm much more careful I national parks now that I know what happens... thanks to you!!!
Sad and scary all at the same time, Thank You Rusty for all the stories and information. "and there you have it" keep up the good work.
Something interesting. When Jason Kyle's clothes were found, all of the tags had been ripped out. That seems to be a theme... Very strange story.
Una Autumn
A lot of people rip tags out because of the
Itch factor.
herbielina true. However it seems to be a theme with mysterious missing folks. Missing people under strange circumstance is kinda my life currently. So.. Also, if you look into his case, he was not one of those types who did rip tags out.
Una Autumn: can’t stand them. I usually cut them out first chance I get they drive me batty lol
I cut tags out of all my shirts, but I see what you mean. If he had a psychotic break, he may have felt a compulsion to do it feeling it his him better...very peculiar and sad
Sinjinbin 64 You don't pay attention well.
Thank you for bringing awareness to the missing people.
Glad to see your post. Thank you. Very interesting subject.
Grand Canyon Park disappearances are some of the most mysterious ones--Most hikers are inexperienced and might accidentally fall off either of the rims (North/South), but there are a few, like Travis Butler, who were good at hiking but still end up gone w/o a trace. :(
You sir have the best most unique voice. You’re perfect for these stories!!! Love your channel!!!
Most of these so far as I’ve watched, are young healthy men. David Paulides, reports certain areas of missing persons and or found deceased persons, were young healthy men. I just find that odd, of course all of this is strange . To hike in national parks ? These days no think I’ll pass.
Thanks good video, nice you honored them at the end. These people missing have people that love them . God Bless these family’s and friends, of those.
These stories always freak me out because I used to go jogging on national park trails miles from anyone when I was in my twenties.
The remains of Bruce Decker found months later on the Indian Ladder trail recently reopened after another hiker had been badly injured the previous year by falling rocks.
I spent over half a century tramping around trailheads, up and down the Sierras/coastal ranges and except for a few dog fights no problems but I was super prepared/aware always. These fine times? Well!! Roaming homeless desperate people crowded highways, collapsing biosphere UV thru the roof makes life very precarious indeed!!! Over half a century watching lovely mother nature take a spear before my eyes, recently this grand lady entered hospice ~~ our end is near ~~
SBS man Jesus is arms are wide open waiting for you to come into his kingdom ask him to be the lord of your life if ya haven't already God bless
Virginia Delatorre gimme a break! Are there any adults around?
The one with the boot on the fence makes me think of two to three other missing people near land between the lakes.
Good video. Easy to listen to background music; much better to look at scenes in the parks or elsewhere, than just start at one screen for the whole time. Also good voicing. Very interesting - I'll watch more. Thanks.
Thank you for a great video as usual Rusty. Stay vigilant everyone and take caution in the forests.
Thank you, Rusty!
Another fine report.
i think we need to question the other two surveyors in Georgia @ 12:30 ...story sounds fishy to me
my thoughts exactly. i dont get how being so close to the road and only being 50ft apart from each other how the two of them never heard or saw anything, especially when the one in the middle looked back a moment later. those woods dont look to thick either. you're spacial awareness would sense someone by the side of you or you'd see something following you. Someone doesnt just disappear moments after he was there. you'd even see cars passing by. The middle one holds the key
I’ll get right on it.
I saw this video about how this guy got put in jail for a week bc he flew a drone around Yosemite Park . Makes you wonder what they are hiding .
Love your channel rusty! I go to sleep with it every night, relaxing and so interest. Lull me quietly to sleep, thanks for the great work and uploads.
God bless you always. This makes me never ever will i go in the woods
I love it when Rusty uploads 👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
in your mouth
F funny
Very good videos. Those poor old people shouldn’t go hiking alone! It seems some of the people that go out alone maybe want to disappear.
RUSTY we need more of these. You should link up with David Paulides and be the pioneers for this info. Appears that you two are the only people bringing attention to this.
I do enjoy your videos quite a bit.
One note... In no. 2 Tuolumne is pronounced Too-all-lumm-ee. We went camping there every year when I grew up and I loved it. It's much more crowded now but really, it's a camping area in a pretty good sized valley that is surrounded by huge mountains, rocks, and forests. You can go miles and miles without seeing any civilization.
You've probably been told a thousand times. You have a great voice.
It is so easy to become lost anywhere. Here is something you need to practice. While walking anywhere every few steps, glance back where you have come from. The lay of the land looks much different when you look back than it does when you are going forward. Also, always note landmarks, both forward and back where you are coming from.
YeeeHaaawww Rusty Ya made my day I really look forward to seeing your videos. Especially when you upload a new one. Thank-you and Cheers
Always great to see a new video from this channel.
Stay the "F" outta Yosemite, Grand Canyon, and especially Mnt Rainier. Remember, Kenneth Arnold made one of the early UFO sightings as he flew near Mnt Rainier in 1948, he saw a formation of silver boomerang shaped disc craft "skipping" like a smooth rock thrown across water on a pond, he calculated their speed based on the landmark (Mnt Rainier) and his speed. Forgot what he said it was but it was pretty incredible. Other sightings have been made in that area throuout the years also. A really weird energy there according to someone I knew who lived out there at one time.
I lived near the Grand Canyon for many years and went hiking there frequently, the more remote the better. I've lived next door to Yosemite for nearly 40 years now. I've hiked all over it from the northern to the southern boundary and extensively on its eastern boundary, as well as the wilderness areas located on the National Forests that surround that park. All in all, I feel far more secure and safe in remote areas than I do in metro areas. I been assigned to wildland fires in 10 western states and have worked fires hundreds of hours on night shifts. I'm retired from the U.S. Forest Service and have worked my regular job alone at all hours of the night and day. I feel far more confident and safe than I've ever been in a city.
The case of Jesse Sgro hits very close to home. I never really knew him or any of the Sgros, but they used to live in my neighborhood in Fayetteville, NC just around the corner. They moved about 10 years ago. Theirs is a very big family (Jesse was one of at least 12 children). It's a very sad case like the all the others
Thank you Rusty! Another great report from you as always!
I wonder if being allowed to carry personal protection (gun) would in someway change many of the situations ???
YES and a locator transponder. No one has vanished carrying these two items.
"Allowed" lol
Yes. We've had good & bad experiences. We've got pictures of some of the bad. About the good/we have had people armed coming across to warn us & had other's come looking for us and tell us to get out of areas...... etc. This is not a joke....we even went into town in one area because of some incidents in that area and took the photos of suspects up in those parts who said they lived in the area. Nobody knew or recognized them/so if you're a local why do you have to go into the park and use the port a potty several times a day? At one point they drove by and because of my experience and background I had my husband walk up to the edge of the road that runs by where we were sitting. The people who drove by us had parked their vehicle ( get away vehicle) past the tree line out of view and the male subject was walking towards us with a 50 caliber gun and I took photos!
According to an article, dated April 14, 2018, by ABC11, Fayetteville, NC:
-Jesse Sgro, 22, the man who vanished a week ago at Singletary Lake State Park in Bladen County was found dead Saturday.
-Sgro's canoe was found across the lake from his campsite the next morning with his life jacket and cell phone still in the boat.
-He was found in the middle of the lake several hundred yards from both the pier and the far shoreline, Katie Hall, a state parks spokesperson said.
Sgro's body was found in about 12 to 14 feet of water.
Hall said Sgro had removed some articles of clothing, apparently in an effort to swim.

A park bicyclist SEES him “naked and chanting” and doesn’t think thats worth reporting to anyone??? SMH! What is WRONG with this world!!!
what makes more sense is that a serial killer is stalking the national parks system for victims so that it can profit financially from reporting on them as disappearances for it's RUclips channel and make it appear that it is trying to help.
Check out the Missing 411 books as well. Eye opening & freaky! I have read them all thus far.
Cosmic Shy Is it worth buying the books?? Are they the same exact stories that we hear on RUclips or are they different and have more details??
Amy Lovett he writes about MANY more stories in his books than what you hear on RUclips. I simply like having the books for referencing bc he also includes different compilations of pattern data, etc. They are not written for entertainment purposes so if anyone's looking for a Stephen King novel, buy a King novel. Paulides is a retired San Jose PD cop so everything is about facts, collecting as much as possible, and not taking any leaps in assuming. He does it that way in an attempt to keep people from straying off the path and to get the patterns of commonalities ingrained into you. For the cheapest of his books, go to his actual site bc people on Amazon etc are resellers, ripping people off. Paulides' site is www.canammissing.com
Amy Lovett and yes alot more details are in the books. Some of the things people say, say they saw, or are caught on camera as in "urban dissapearances" gave me the utter creeps.
Cosmic Shy Do tell....
LUCKY YOU - TRYING TO GET HOLD OF THEM IS AN ADVENTURE IN ITSELF, I JUST WISH HE WOULD GET THEM PUBLISHED VIA A PUBLISHER SO PEOPLE LIKE ME IN UK CAN BUY THEM, IT ISN'T MADE EASY LOL.....
