@@MrBallen i Posted to late damn
Mr. Ballen is an amazing channel.
Nice one! 👍
I'm not surprised that the crow guided him. People don't give crows enough credit. They are incredibly intelligent. I made friends with a group of crows, when I was a security guard and sat in an empty shipyard for long, boring shifts. I fed them part of my lunch and once they trusted me enough, they found ways to communicate with me. They are truly amazing creatures
When i found this out a few years back since then I have always wanted to make friends with a crow
@@Red.fishnet best way to do it, is to bring them some food. My guys were very fond of popcorn and canned cat food, they really love meaty stuff. Just sit somewhere near, but not too close and stay there. They will make the first step to befriend you, they just got to get to know you and trust you. This may take months, but it's very rewarding when they finally decide that you are a friend
@@Snozzify aah thank you😁😁i will try
Luckily i have an obsession with popcorn so me and the birds already have something in common💅
@@Red.fishnet best of luck to you, just be patient, it'll take some time, but eventually they'll befriend you
BRO IM A SECURITY GUARD AND ALSO HAVE A STORY. THERE WERE HUNDREDS THEY WERE IN MY WAY ON SHIFT DURING TWILIGHT SUNDAY EVENING (EERIE NIGHT) AT WORK ALONE. AS I DID MY PATROL, I FOUND HUNDREDS RIGHT IN MY WAY. THEY LITERALLY ALL STOOD QUIET AND LOOKED UP AT ME LIKE AS I APPROACHED AND CAME TO A HALT. "DON'T YOU DARE DRIVE THROUGH US" WAS THE SENSE I GOT. MY ASS REVERSED AND GOT THE F*** OUTTA THERE. THEY NEVER BUGGED ME EVER AGAIN. THAT PLACE WAS HAUNTED TOO. I WOULD HEAR FOOTSTEPS BEHIND ME AS I PATROLLED UP STAIRS. SOMETHING WAS ALWAYS FOLLOWING ME.
Crows are extremely intelligent animals. I watched them stalk a neighbor for years after the neighbor killed one of the crows.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 x
Yeah it's been noted that some crows/ravens will even train their babies to hate You if you fuck with them
I guess they've been tested and have the same cognitive abilities of a 7 year old child.
When I was young, I fed some young ravens. They followed me around for the entire time I lived there, and now, some twenty years since I left, I swear I saw one of the two birds. Older and ruffled, but still here. Still following me around the property, lol.
I killed a crow and they never left me alone I would wake up at the middle of the night and they were pecking my window then they swarmed my son and nearly killed him then there were hundreds of them on my fences and constantly squawking I had to make peace with them I took off all my clothes and screamed if you want me here I am they scratched me up pretty bad and I let them
Now days I don't have any problems with them as long as I give them offerings such as mince and seed and grain and a massive bird bath
I went on holiday for 3 months came back and they swarmed me again and my son we couldn't even get out the car so now I have 16 cats and got my gun licence if they wanted a war they got one I cut down there tree after shooting them all were talking hundreds and they cats ate there remains and I burnt what was left but now I'm haunted by there ghosts my window taps all night even as I'm looking right at it but it only stops when I hit record .
That's my story
The crow that led the hunter to the body is so interesting, and it has so many fascinating implications. Crows will hold funerals for other crows. They gather the entire flock together to sit in silence around a dead crows remains. Clearly, the remains of dead crows hold deep emotional significance to other crows. What this means for the crow in the story, is that it not only saw the remains an recognized them as being human,. It also must have thought that human remains are important to other humans, just like crow remains are important to crows. Crows are animals that have been proven to show compassion and altruism to other animals. I think that when this crow saw the hunter, it must have figured "i bet humans will want to find these remains so they can properly grieve" and so it guided the hunter to that stump.
The thought of an animal sympathizing with human grief is such a touching notion, I would really like to believe that that was the crows intention. Crows and other corvids are amazing animals!
i like your theory, although it sounds very far-fetched, crows are indeed very intelligent and maybe this is a thing they do or have learned to do
what could also be possible is that Robert, while he was alive, had befriended the crow and that's why the crow was calling out because it knew that Robert was dead
Intelligent birds. Crows look badass when they are together like a forest gang
That is beautiful 😢
You're very articulate. Great comment!

I really like how Mr Ballen always lets us know what happens to any animals/pets involved in the stories he tells.
Me too. ❤❤❤
Dog nutter
What about those animals you eat?
@@BalboaBagginsthey died already..?
@@BalboaBagginsthey died already..?
That story about the boy legitimately scares the shit out of me. I work with dogs professionally, they don’t do that shit for no reason.
Since seeing this I wonder what the dog saw
you know that people say dogs and cats can see ghosts...
Maybe a porthole 🤷♂️
Also that they never found the other two is super weird. Dogs are usually crazy protective over their people and kids they know. If someone/something snatched the boy they would've tried to stay near him if not fight off the attacker, but even if they somehow lost the boy they would've eventually found their way home
But why didn't the dog bark when the kid was first screaming?
The fact that crows and ravens grieve their dead, makes this "delivering human remains to a fellow human" ever more fascinating.
That's what I was thinking he just made it a habit to do that from time to time in case someone was looking
As do elephants and dogs and plenty of other animals.
@@josephschneeman5415 crows have their language. Even with accents like us. They can communicate what death is. Farmers will also kill them and hang them up to keep them from their fields.
@Prison Mike I personally love crows because they’re so lively and intelligent. I get wanting to keep them away from crops and food, but I actually like having them around. Plus, you can actually make friends with them by feeding them, since they can remember faces and even a persons car!
@Prison Mike That man's family & friends might not agree with that statement. If there were far fewer crows, one may never have come across his remains & shown that hunter where they were, then those who cared for him would have never had any closure.
The scariest part about all these cases with kids that are ultimately found don’t remember is that speaking from experience as a child under extreme duress and extreme situation your brain will completely repress the memory of your event until it deems your brain is strong enough to handle remembering it, so whatever these kids went through most likely was so traumatizing that they repressed it and may come back later on in their lives
Yeah. Most of our childhood (well, any) memories fade over time to begin with, but the brain is amazing at preserving itself, so especially in children, traumatic events can simply wipe themselves out from conscious memory.
Yes I know, in my late 30s I started remembering things that I don’t want to remember. Everything is stored inside your mind palace, to rephrase Sherlock Holmes.
oh i am 54 remember seeing a couple things, but i can promise you that stuff creates demons inside that will most definitely return
That’s exactly what I was thinking, maybe when they are older they’ll be able to remember what happened and shed some light.
I too was once a child
The way everything was laid out next to the tree is a resemblance to a Soldiers Cross. It is a way of honoring a soldier who has died in war. Leads me to believe Robert somehow became critically injured and he knew he would not survive so he laid out his boots and items for his own Soldiers Cross as a way of letting his family know, he was a hero to the end.
thats what i thought
One question: why wouldn’t he have propped his bow up by his boots like what would be done with a soldier’s rifle?
@@liliantyra2761 That's a good question, it's possible he died before he had the chance. ❤🩹
The crow was pointing out that “one of your kind died over here.” And since the crows live in the forest they would know how seldom a human dies in their forest and would be wanting to let any other human who came along to the area know what was up. I hope that crow knows that they did a really good job.
I read somewhere that crows also know how to gather belongings and keep them neatly done... May or may not be the case here but when researching crows it blew my mind
@@snoblette i think it was someone in the tribe, not knowing that he was one of there own or not caring.
Crows are brilliant and I love that they hold investigations when their own die to avoid meeting the same end. Like you, I believe the crow was just like "yo, found one of you dead over here"
Or the crow is somehow involved in the disappearing of the guy at first place..what if the crow is evil and the hunter was about to become its next victim? 🤔
@@drwatson16 Lol serial killer crow sick of people making noise in his woods
Moral of the story: stop leaving your 2 year olds unattended near the forest!!!!!
These people are crazy, i dont know why they think its a good ideia to let young children play away from them near a dense forest, and they get surprised when something bad happens.
Amen!
Agree lol
No, the actual moral of the story is not to live by a forest.
I know right it's so stupid. I've heard several stories similar to this if it ain't a wild animal doing the killing it's a pedo. So stupid its like the start of a horror film, hey yeah I know I'll just let a baby play in a forest while I take my eyes off the kid and read a book. Most of the cases I've seen have ended 10 times worse than this story and yet they all have one thing in common there wasn't a dad around. I remember when I was a kid whenever my mum or dad took me to the park every time I looked over my dad was constantly watching me and would even come over to me if a dog came close or a potential threat just to make sure and yet whenever my mum took me Id look over and she would be In deep conversation with other woman at the park not paying attention to what I was doing or what was happening. Just saying
My inner John Douglas is really working on that second one. The fact that another toddler had gone missing in the area before points to a human predator. Their preverbal age is the perfect cover, as well as the small community where everyone is involved in searches… a community member could be one step ahead of the investigation and return the child ‘unharmed’ without arousing suspicion. It’s too similar to other cases.
That theory makes a lot of sense
That makes sense because the first boy had a lot of "that's crazy,you're at fault mom/dad,less noise being made about it" energy and the second one probably scared the weirdo since a lot more people went looking and it was a bigger scene,he left the girl probably because he saw he will not get away with this one.
I have both a daughter and son and it's actually a bit sad that people are more motivated if it's a young girl rather than a young boy 💔
Its such a relief when the people in Mr Ballen's stories survive
Crows are extremely intelligent and will help people. A friend of mine who was epileptic had a pet crow. One time she had an episode while cooking and Birb (that was its name) turned off the stove and flew to her mother's house two towns away to alert them that something happened and they immediately called police. Turning off the stove probably saved her life, and she never taught Birb how to do that.
Birb died a year ago or so and we all miss him more than a dog or a cat. They're truly wonderful animals despite the looks.
Bro that one is hard to believe. It turned off the stove?
@@davidpierce9949 I've heard, and actually seen, so many amazing things that crows can do, that I absolutely believe it. They are so smart it's scary, and yes, they can watch what you do and copy it.
@@davidpierce9949 I kinda think its possibly coz the crows in my neighborhood sometimes enter my house wen I play with them n they know how to open the draws and cabinets. it's kinda annoying actually coz they'll open it n then start yanking things out n making a whole mess
@@davidpierce9949 I've seen footage of crows opening gates so it's not that weird
I think they are beautiful
We must understand that when a dog stands his ground and growls at anything, it means it’s scared but is ready for anything. Kudos to that brave dog. My own dog feels a leaf fall behind her and she will run and leave me to fend for myself… I love her tho.
My old boy (RIP) did that with coyotes when I was pregnant and confronted by two of them. His instincts kicked right in, and he was a big boy, so his size and demeanor backed them off. I miss him every day.
She's like: FEND FOR YOURSELF MOM/DAD!
@@awg7068 aw..
@@StrangeDetectives He was our good boy, and I swear he sent us our girl that we adopted. She’s much smaller, but a total love like him.
@adriennewrn7068 aww that's sweet
The fact that these are mostly 2/3 yr olds I feel like people are forgetting there are large birds that are more than capable of picking up these kids and at some point coming down and dropping them. I remember when I was younger in front of my grandparents house was a huge open field. We were told not to go out in the field in fear of some big bird grabbing us, which from time to time you could see birds with long wings circling that specific area.
Yes this is exactly what I thought! Large birds can easily grab clothing and carry off small children
but would a big bird scare a dog? and kill 2 others? honestly, maybe there are some terrifying birds that we havent found yet that are super good at avoiding humans, and they hide in caves/trees at night so infrared doesnt pick them up
I have realised if I am feeling hot after a long day working outside then I just need to watch one of Mr Ballen's creepy stories and it sufficiently gives me the chills.
Crows hold funerals for their dead crow brethren. I like to imagine that this one just wanted to let a human know that we've lost one of our own so that we could do the same.
It's not the first time it's happened and I'm sure it won't be the last. I've always had an extremely good day if I see a crow or two.
Especially if the man was good to the crows it would be trying to tell others he was dead.
@@desertparanormal2791 Then you should come to Norway, almost impossible to go a day without seeing a crow.
They also kill other crows
@@montanamike7948 A gathering of them is called a Murder, after all.
Back in the 90’s my wife and I lived in Nepal. We were trekking near Thangboche when a raven cawing loudly and batting its wings kept following us. Flying ahead and stopping on chortans and a rock wall next to the trail to yell at us, as if warning us not to continue and turn around. Doing so would mean doubling back, adding hours to the trek. We tried to ignore him, but he wouldn’t let up. Being in such a spiritual place we decided to pay heed to the ravens warning and turned around. We later found out that a slide had wiped out the trail just ahead of where we turned around and it was a very dangerous area where other hikers had actually gone missing…. Glad we listened
Damn thats cool . I have heard that thangboche is a really beautiful place .
In Nepal , crows are considered ancestors who come back to visit you.
Wow, that's amazing! These creatures serve a purpose and have to be respected. Islam teaches that all animals communicate, but that we just don't understand them.
Cap
Yikes, that sounds like a close call!
I love MrBallen. And I’m gonna tell you from experience.. when you direct message him, he actually gets ahold of you. He actually cares about his fans unlike a lot of other creators. So really if you have any questions for him.. he will always be happy to answer. Much love for him❤❤

Crows are generous, that way, apparently.
This is adorable
they're attracted to shiny things. in south america there are crows that share a "treasure room" in the center mass of their communal nest
The first story made me remember something...
do u guys remember the skinwalker ranch story? when they saw some kind of "den" ??
im a little sceptic about it, but i just imagined the place where they found the kid, was a small "skinwalker nest" or something where they put newborns or in this case the kid to grow... and thats also could explain the dog behaviour!
sorry im bad english if i have some bad words!
What is a skinwalker ? Is it some kind of zombie or smt ?
@Kim_Tae97 idk if you still need this answer but it's a native American legend in which a man has the ability to transform into various animals, typically coyotes. They become skinwalkers by committing a horrible action like eating another human but the lore varies. They are "monsters"
@@Kim_Tae97 it’s basically just an evil shaman that did a terrible act to sell their soul and now they wear the skin of animals/humans to imitate them. According to the legend they can only be killed by either saying their real name or stabbing them with a blade covered in white ash. Skinwalker Ranch is an area in Utah where a lot of paranormal activity happens. The “nest” they found was pretty different from what they saw here though. I think in both cases it was just an animal nest. In this case, I think what happened was a man or group of men took the kid, likely killed the dogs and hid their bodies elsewhere, and left the kid in the den they were using as a hiding spot until they could come back and get him. That or they hid him there once things were getting hot with searchers everywhere.
I'm a veteran and I watch these every dayyyy. I wish I could work with you or start my own channel. This keeps me going. The power of observation.
I had a crow yell at me once. I was 17 or 18 at the time. It was perched on my neighbor's gutter while I was filling a bucket to water some newly planted fruit trees--close enough that I thought it was being weirdly insistent--so I yelled back that if it wanted water, it had to come down and get it.
So it looked at me, watched me step away and motion to the water-filled bucket, then it flew down and drank from the bucket like a good birb. And I guess that meant we were friends now, 'cause it followed me around while I finished watering my trees--to the point where I actually got it to ride on my shoulder for the last couple of trips.
My mom freaked, though. It was hilarious. She was shouting from the back porch, "THERE'S A BIRD ON YOUR SHOULDER!"
And I was just... o_o "Yeah, Mom. I can see that. This is my crow friend."
And then crow friend started hanging out on the porch after I went inside, tapping on the sliding door and cawing for me, so I had to tell it to leave, or else my mom might chase it off with a broom. (My mom's from the Philippines, and really superstitious, so she thought it was either sick or bad luck.)
So crow friend left, and I never saw it again. Great memory, though. Corvids are brilliant birds.
Crows are good luck here. They are sacred holy creatures that are known to help humans.
Aaw... too bad corvids don’t live where I live... I would like a crow friend... the closest we get to corvids are unaproachable bluebirds.
Crows are really intelligent birds they make great pets, used to have to cull them occasionally to stop them eating crops they pretty quickly learned if they landed in the crop fields they were safe from the shotguns
@@RaraZeCat I raised a Bluebird that fell out of its nest and was in the middle of a road. Her name was Clara and she followed me wherever I went. I still miss my beautiful Clara.

I’ve had history teachers like that and I absolutely love it
He needs to write books, his story telling abilities are top notch
just shows how much research he does to be able to give us these amazing stories. Would be better with less ads so I could listen to him while I sleep.
Yea hes great at it
My neighbors bird feeder is always full of many types of birds. The other day there were doves at the feeder who normally leave quickly when a murder of crows come by. But, on this day the crows that arrived didn’t scare away the doves because they were little crows, probably not many days out of their nests. So clearly this was only an attempted murder. Just thought some levity might give someone a smile as it had for me.
An attempted... murder. Grroooooaaan!
Thank you for that! It may be silly or cheesy to some, but it sure put a smile on my face and made me laugh. I hope you have a lovely new year!! 😀💛
I feel horrible & extremely saddened about the two missing doggies! 😢
Same 😢
I’m taking a wild guess that a bear or possibly a mountain Lion dragged that kid off. The dogs very well could have died trying to save that boy. May not be of much help to you but I think of them as hero’s!
I can only imagine, that whatever got Eldridge lost, those 2 dogs laid down their lives trying to protect him, God bless those two canines 🐶 🐕
Indeed dogs will always be mans best friend
Or they got crazed and ate him. You never know
But one question. How come the 2 dogs weren't with the boy? Usually dogs always stay with their owner.
Definitely.

The storytelling about the situation with the crow gave me some intense goosebumps.
Well done!
I feel like animals accidentally take children sometimes and when they realize that their victim is a child, they choose not to eat them and instead start to “take care” of them in some of these stories. Him laying in what looked like a birds nest made me think that maybe a big bird picked him up and started to nurture him once it realized he was a baby.

@@BadBlood_TheCommonGround i find this one a little hard to belive i know crocs need air but arn't croc dens underwater, also the specific mention of a neatly positoned leaf bed, the child had basically no injuries seems less likely to be a croc, however i feel like if the croc got one of the dogs and he was chasing to get the dog back?
@@bosst.v.4378 no. Croc nests are usually a mound of earth & leaves with the eggs buried in it. The mother protects the nest & helps dig the young out when they hatch, carries them to the water in her mouth.
If there's a dangerous forest next to your home, put a damn fence up
Exactly.
Country people don’t use fences. It’s against the country hick code
i live with 20 acres of forest around me no fences
Anna was found on the other side of a fence
Ten fences to be exact, a fence isn’t going to do much
You were what got me through 2020 thank you 🙏
My boyo’s 5 now, but when he was 2 he crawled out of the dog door and went into the back yard. We called and looked all through and around the house to no avail. Luckily we have very smart dogs and they started whining until we found him behind the shed in a 10 inch gap where he was stuck. Wasn’t crying, wasn’t struggling to get out. Just stuck and silent. Brave boy, great dogs 😁
I understand the difficulty of watching a child every single second , but I also think that parents and caregivers significantly underestimate the amount of time they look away.
I was shopping with my wife and she went in to try on some clothes. I was watching my 3 year old and looked away for just what felt like a few seconds but when I looked back he was gone. I called him and got no response. I started to panic and called louder. Then I heard this little giggle from within a clothes rack 30 feet from where he was just at. The only thing I can figure is that I was distracted longer than I thought.
It really does only take a second but I also wouldn't leave my 2 year old anywhere that wasn't totally secured without me watching. Letting your 2 year old run around in a forest is never a good idea whether you're watching them or not. Far too many hazards. But yeah, there's so so many stories like this. I assume you know about Jamie Bulger who's mother was literally holding his hand just moments before he was abducted.
What would you say if you lost your child/grandchild, you would surely not say i took my look off him for a few mins.

The crow alerting a human to the remains of another human is not that surprising. Crows are eerily smart people.

Not animals, just little critters in feathers. Lol
Smart birds
a flock of crows is called a murder - among other things. but i like this one
if i were in the position of the hunter i would have thought the crowed killed the man and had a blood lust for me
barbed wire is truly no obstacle for a toddler. I promise. she likely didn't climb it, but went under it. having no previous experience with it she had no reason to fear it. often times it's due to our anticipation of consequence that we make our worst choices.
i’ve always thought of forests as magical places, but so many of these stories are very scary negative forest happening that i’ve changed my mind 😊
Haha that crow was like “UH, SIR, THIS BELONGS TO YOUR SPECIES. I THINK YOU’VE LOST IT.”
That makes me laugh. You’ve lost IT! Just a normal day with those dumb humans. They lost another one.
i shouldn't have laughed sm
dumb hoomans lost another one
😂😂😂 right!!! Bless that crows heart.
Can we give this man an award for his intro he makes you laugh then gives you anxiety 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
We need to
Yes like how dose he do dat
Anxiety?
Agree .. Never going in the woods again 🤣😰
What is Anxiety???
For the last story its possible that Robert had befriended the crow at some point and being a military man he may have neatly stacked his belongings before going to bed while camping with the crow seeing this. The crow could have repeated this bedside action with his remains and remaining items near a place he would camp. (From what I know crows are extremely loyal and extremely smart).
A likely explanation for these cases could be big eagles or Hawks swooped down and picked up the kids and then ended up dropping them at a distant location. That would explain lack of footprints, getting over all the barbed wire fences, and covering long distances in a short amount of time. If the bird is big enough and the child is small enough, it's definitely possible
That was actually my first thought as well. I’m not done the entire video but it’s definitely possible for the first 3 cases he mentions. Unfortunately Ronald wasn’t found in the third case which means he was killed either by the large bird or most likely another animal after he was dropped.
You would think there would be scratches from their talons, then.
@@rebeccapaquette9203 Mm.. I thought Max was a genius until you pointed this out as those things are long and sharp and strong. However, I do remember the cute narrator saying the 2 year old was found unharmed, yet her clothes were torn to pieces so maybe the bird got her by the clothes, it was a cold forest, as a parent I would have my kid in layers.
Yeah! There's a video online of a golden eagle carrying a fully grown mountain goat for a short distance. I absolutely believe that these wee children could have been lifted up by their shirt and dropped a few miles away.
That could definitely explain it

So, there's actually a surprising amount of stories about large animals, a lot of predators, who just... Abduct small children near forests. I'm thinking that's what happened to Eldredge, as it explains how his cries moved so far so fast, and how he got so far away from the spot he was taken in the middle of the wilderness. Probably the same with Anna as well.
I use to go deep in the woods on hikes by myself. On one I hurt my ankle and couldn't walk. After a long night, I didn't bring my phone or supplies I started crawling. Several crows started yelling directly above me. I had taken a different route back trying to shorten the time I had to crawl. My original route would've been nearly impossible because I had to climb down. Anyway the crows moved a short distance away. I just knew I needed to follow them so I crawled and used trees to stand and move upright when I could. When I'd reach them they'd start cawing and move another short distance away. This continued for a few hours until I got to the edge of the forest...where I had parked my car. The crows stayed with me until I was safe then flew away. Sometimes God moves in mysterious ways, but sometimes He's obvious.
I was thinking the other day after watching many 411's that tree's may be some kind of transmitter or portal or something like that. Yeah, I may sound crazy but it was just a thought
@@lindacarol5982 mysteries abound on earth. Who knows, you might be right.
@@JustMe11392 yes!!! That's true 🤯😳
I don't wanna undermine your sentiment, but crows are incredibly intelligent animals and have been found to communicate, cooperate, and help humans extensively in the past. They also seem to have an understanding of injury and death on what's almost a sentient level, so they probably saw you, realized you were in pain, and then guided you back to your car. Ofc, this could still be attributed to Him, and I don't think you'd be wrong to do so (I'm not personally a believer), but the way in which He intervened is probably even more subtle than you might have imagined. In the above video, it's entirely possible that Robert's belongings were actually placed like that by the crows once again, as they could've found his body and all these things next to him and realized that they were his and wanted to keep them together.
@@cheekobandit5237 Goodluck
Crows are unbelievably smart animals for birds, they have shown the ability for complex problem solving. It is absolutely no surprise to me that a crow saw something that didn't belong near its home and alerted someone to it.

@@Sequatchiemm wtf was that supposed to say
Native Americans believe that crows act as communicators between this world and the next. As someone who grew up with very superstitious Irish parents and hearing stories of the fae and why I was never allowed to whistle at night.. the things you see around you often times should be taken at face value and not discredited, just because we don't hear and see things, doesn't mean they don't exist. Sometimes we try to pass it off as coincidences when we should be listening to what they are telling us.
I one saw one drop a crumpled dollar on the sidewalk in front of a dude eating lunch on a bench. The dude got up to grab the dollar, the crown grabbed his whole bag of french fries
Absolutely amazing
I suggested to my whole family this channel and now me, my mom and my brother watch it regularly. ❤
I do not doubt the crow knew exactly what it was doing, calling attention to the remains. I was in my kitchen washing dishes one afternoon. I heard a crow calling repeatedly. After a couple minutes of listening, I decided to go look out the window into the side yard. There was the crow, sitting on a tree branch at the level of the window. I said well, what's the problem? The crow looked at me, and flew about 10/12ft away and perched in the top of an overgrown azalea that I had cut back a few days before. The crow looked at me and down into the azalea. I realized there were other birds perched around on the azalea also. There were 2 more crows, a cardinal, a mockingbird, a robin and 2 sparrows all perched around the upper part of the cut back azalea. Some looked at me and down into the bush, others were just looking into the bush. The crow began calling again, some of the other birds joined the crow in calling. I thought it was strange and something was going on, for these birds to be gathered around like that. I grabbed a machete as I went out the backdoor. I went to the side yard and the calling stopped when I came around the corner. All of the birds were looking at me and looking down into the azalea bush. As I eased up to the bush, the birds continued to perch where they were. Different birds at different times, just sitting there looking at me and looking down into the bush. It was like they were saying Look here. There it is. I looked down and didn't really see anything other than dead leaves and bare azalea branches. I actually asked Well, what? How about a clue? What do you need from me? The 1st crow dropped down a few branches, broke a twig from the branch it was sitting on and dropped it, deliberately to a place near the center of the bush. Then I saw what they were trying to show me....there was a very large cottonmouth coiled there in the azalea. I managed to kill the snake. It was almost 5 ft long and my hand didn't close completely around it when I picked it up. The strangest thing to me though was, I had to poke the snake a couple if times, to get it to move out of the azalea. Then it took 2 blows to chop it's head off. The birds never moved. They sat and watched. Once the head was off and the snake was dead, the birds all went about their bird business. I was very thankful. I had 2 small children that played in the side yard everyday. I added a few more bird feeders and baths to the ones I already had around the area. I pay attention to the wildlife/animals around me. They hear see smell and feel things I never will.
Wow. That is so amazing.
@@karen0karen it truly was. My children are now 34 & 37 and I still pay attention to the birds and wildlife. Hasn't let me down as of yet. The cooperation of the different species of birds was something else.

@@terrybyrd5951 it’s called hunting, it’s something wild animals, presumably predators, need to do to survive. Hunting is where a predator attacks and kills a live animal, to then eat its body for nutrients. Humans do not need to hunt because we have farms, I guess that’s why you’ve never head of it.
At work, we have a trained crow. It comes, knocks on the window, we give it food, it gives us some little things like nuts or screws. All we have to do to achieve such an amazing result was give it food from time to time. Crows are very intelligent
Bro I'm dead 😂💀
@@terrybyrd5951 That's how nature works man
What makes me think hard it's that the police in this cases don't investigate furter or if they do, they don't release any information, that's sooooo suspicious and makes me think that not a bear or other normal animal would kidnap the children, this is more than a simple animal, so mysterious.
When I was growing up my family lived in Denver. My mom grew up in Montana, more specifically Helena, so we'd drive up there to visit during the summer or for Christmas frequently. There was one rule that was strictly enforced during these road trips. And that was no stopping on the crow agency reservation. I have heard of some horror stories about people disappearing up there. But the one that stands out occurred when two FBI agents went up to investigate drugs or some criminal activity on the reservation and were never heard from again.
Crows are incredibly intelligent. I’ve had some strange experiences with them clearly communicating with me, so I don’t doubt the hunters story
Crows and ravens are highly intelligent and they also grieve their dead so why not alert us to one of our unknown dead?
they've been known to "ask" humans for help if one of their own gets into trouble and the others aren't able to help (like if they get stuck in sth or are hurt)
They have no trouble seeing the difference between a toy rifle and a rifle that can kill them, we've experimented at my grandparents farm if taking a rifle, a toy rifle and alot of other things and walking the same path they only react on the real weapon (same clothessame walk same direction). So they are extremely intelligent.
I need the details 🥰 that’s amazing!!
@@ohsweetnikki there's numerous videos of crows playing and using traffic lights and so on to crack open food containers and nuts on web my personal experiences is to long to write down so..

Crows are one of the smartest animals on the planet. They can identify different species and are prone to having funerals for their own kind. This crow probably knew the hunter was of the same species as the skull and called him over so he could put the body to rest. Crows are immensely intelligent, this completely falls in line with something they could do. We love our crow pals #crowfacts

I lived in the country when I was little. A 2yo can go through a barb-wire fence as though it's an open doorway. No climbing involved. I had 40+ acres to roam, most of it the neighbors land(had permission). I didn't go unattended until I was older, maybe 7-8. We had moved to town by the time I was 5, but the farm was my grandparents and I spent a lot of time there, and in the woods by myself.

Crows and Ravens are extremely intelligent. A friend of mine nursed a Crow back to good health after finding it very poorly and malnourished, he even put a bird table out hoping it would return back to his garden. And to his surprise, it returned weekly to feed at this bird table and also left gifts for him on the table. A lot of it was just old tat like hair clips or bottle tops but we think it was the Crows way of saying thank you
It definitely was, crows are known to like anything that's shiny so like how a cat might bring it's owner a mouse it caught it was probably looking fir things it considered valuable (anything shiny) to trade for food you have to be careful if it brings you something actually valuable though cause depending on where you are you could be charged with theft if it were to bring you something that belongs to someone.

If someone is well prepared for cold weather, and is wearing top notch, well-insulated gear with thick "loosely dense" fabric, can the tech still pick up a thermal signature?

Considering Crows, Ravens, Magpies, etc. hold funerals for their dead, have a basic understanding of how to use tools, and are able to solve puzzles it’s not too hard to believe that the crow luring the hunter to one of "his" dead was purposeful. Peculiar that it happened on Crow Reservation, probably made it more likely for the crow to help people out due to long human contact.
I'm an Aussie and I HATE magpies! They will swoop you once, then everytime it sees you, it'll always swoop you, even if there's other people around. They have very good memories,and remember the person that they originally targeted and always go for that person.

Yes, that's why i believe that guys story and i'm 100% sure that a crow could be able to do something like that, heck, even a a dog could alert or call you if something went to shit
I live out in the country where there are plenty of wild animals and I don’t find it hard at all to believe that animals communicate with people
I used to befriend crows in my yard as a child. They are a lot smarter than people realize. They have complex communication skills, and excellent memories. They can describe individual humans to other crows with such detail that those crows can subsequently recognize the person the first time they see them. The crows in your neighborhood will describe dangerous people that have been mean to them, so others can avoid them, as well as describing the nice people who give them food and treats. This is why you may notice, if you feed crows on your property, lots more will show up quite quickly. The ones you fed tell the others about you and your home, that it is safe, and has a human who gives out food.
Crows also seem to understand death to a certain degree, and hold funerals for dead comrades. If they witness a crow being killed, or find one dead, they will often attempt to recover the body, and have a little crow funeral around it. If they cannot get the body, they hold the funeral near where the crow was killed.
I would not be surprised if the crow in this story had found the corpse. Then, upon hearing another human in the area, attempted to get the hunter's attention and alert him of his fallen brethren. It didn't understand enough to know it was helping to shed light on a missing person's case and all of the complications that go with it... but, being a social animal that also recovers its dead and witnesses humans doing the same, it probably understood that the humans would want to find the body of their fallen comrade.
@@seanrallis6714 This makes me so happy I didn't know they had a whole language and could communicate human faces, that's amazing
@@biscuitgidoni2804 corvids are fascinating, and a lot more intelligent than people realize.
For decades, there has been a joke that crows know what guns are, and that they will fly away the second you point a firearm at them. Some believed it to be true from experience, others dismissed it. But science shows that it's not just plausible, but very logical and likely. Given their intelligence and communication skills, it is likely that even crows who have never been fired upon would have heard the stories from other crows and the descriptions of what these weapons look like and what they are capable of. So the next time that farmer tells you that he swears the crows know what his gun looks like... maybe don't laugh him off. He is likely correct.
EDIT: I bet if we could just bridge the language barrier, they are intelligent enough to look for evidence and help solve murders (find remains in remote, hard to search areas much more quickly). We could employ their help and pay them with peanuts and shiny objects 😂 Is that exploitative?

Never hurt myself. My mom says I was a very responsible kid, she was proud that she could leave me home alone and drive to a store real quick. 🤷🏼♀️
Kids used to be a lot more self sufficient back in the day. In the 50s 5yo kids had jobs, selling newspapers for example.
Now it's common for 5yo to ride in strollers and wear diapers at night 🤦♀️
Nobody held my hand in the woods either. My mom joked that it's lucky that I have a good sense of direction because she'd get us lost 🤣
Anyway when you have a big property you treat the immediate area (say 15-20min walk) as a backyard.
Even now in 2021 most kids are allowed in their fenced backyard on their own with parents only checking on them periodically.
I think the first story, Eldridge was possibly picked up by a wild animal like a bear or something. Probably held him by his clothes (his clothes were torn and tattered when he was found) the other 2 dogs probably chased it to protect the boy and were killed/eaten. Ive heard stories about how sometimes when I young child yells out/cries, it can sound very similar to a baby animal and sometimes an animal's maternal instincts will kick in and it will suddenly recognize the child as a baby . There's a story of a girl who was protected by lionesses because, they think, her cries resembled a lion cub. I think this may have been what happened. The animal picked up Eldridge and ran off, planning to eat him but then began to treat him as it's own young and that's why he was found in an animals den on a bed of leaves. Of course the terror of this and of likely seeing his 2 dogs being eaten would be tramatic enough that his mind would block it out. And of course that's why the 3rd dog would have been terrified and wouldn't turn around. You don't turn your back on a predator.
Best explanation I’ve read yet
Had also the same thought... Only logical explanation I could think of
Yeah but why no tracks? Wouldn't there be paw prints in the mud/"sand"?
My German shepard have had puppies 3 times and she knows what to do when the puppies are "crying" Resently we have had 3 grandchildren and when they cry she does exactly the same. She wants to lick them, be close to them and brings them her favorit toy. She knows when it's a serious cry and when they are just fussy or tired. Animals know so much more than we know❤️❤️
you forgot to explain how the Eldridge's last scream sounded muffled like someone stopped him midst scream
It’s true , I raised two kids and one learns quickly a “real” scream from a “play” scream.
