Comments on the book “Missing 411” – Part 1 —Is it all True Series # 231
I have been a paranormal researcher for 46 years, and when it comes to concerns about my safety in the woods while searching for Bigfoot, I never had any concerns. Bigfoot to me has always been a benign being and at the very least would keep its distance from us humans. Although there had been stories of Bigfoot helping lost hikers and even protecting humans from bear attacks.
But now in this book from David Paulides I may have to rethink my feeling about a few of the Bigfoot. It seems like David has found a pattern that brings Bigfoot into suspicion of possible murder of innocent humans. His research shows clusters of missing people in the Western US and the eastern bordering the Appalachians Mts. He didn’t study the states of Florida and Texas. For these two states would require two more books to cover the missing in those states. David provides a map of the missing and shows major clustering and its curious to note that the states in the dead center of the USA, North and South Dakota, Nebraska and Kansas had zero missing.
So what are the unique factors in these missing people’s cases? 1. Majority of the missing are in clusters in or near National Forest Lands, parks etc. such as Yosemite, Great Smoky MT, Glacier National park and Crater National Park. 2. All disappearances were in a rural setting, not in an urban area. 3. Dogs with owners were involved in many of the disappearances.3. Bloodhounds and other tracking dogs lost the scent and some refused to track in the area. 4. Soon after the disappearances happened major storms developed over the areas, note Bigfoot are noted for their ability to weather control Micro-areas. 5. Afternoon between 2:00pm and 5:00pm the event normally happened. 6. The disappearances happened many times near swampy or dense underbrush areas. 7. Clothing was missing on many of the victims and sometimes completely naked, like Travis Walton (Fire in the Sky). 8. Berry Picking – (favorite Bigfoot food), humans walking through the area or actually picking the berries. 9. Missing persons found in a previously searched area.
So is it a rogue group of Bigfoot? Are they upset with humans for their direct destruction of the planet? I think the theory that David puts forward may sadly be true. My dear friend and Bigfoot researcher agrees the fingerprints point to Mr./Mrs. Bigfoot. But please remember there are many Bigfoot encounters each day and nothing bad happens. There are bad apples in every group.
Sleep Tight, There is no chance in your lifetime you will come across a Bad Bigfoot, but meeting a good one is very possible if you have an open mind.
I’m not sure what book this reviewer was reading but it obviously wasn’t written by me, or, the reviewer really didn’t read the book. There is nowhere, repeat, nowhere in “Missing 411″ that I indicate my beliefs that bigfoot, sasquatch or anything else is the culprit in the disappearances. This reviewer may draw their own conclusions about what may be happening, I invite that. I go to great lengths to state facts, point to obvious parallels in many disappearances but I DO NOT draw conclusions as to cause. I invite people to go to Amazon and read the reviews posted on the two books and read what people have stated, they enjoy the fact that I do not name a suspect in the disappearances!!
To mr. Paulides. I have recently heard your interview via YouTube. I am going to get a copy of your first book this weekend. I am an outdoorsman, and after hearing your interview must conclude as you do that something very odd is happening in our forests. I know that your research to date is concentrated on the federal parks system, but was wondering if you’ve ever encountered any of this type of activity in state parks systems? I know for a fact that in my neck of the woods we have missing in the state parks. Gone with no trace. The only apex predator here is so very rare that it would seem impossible for that to be the cause. (the very rare cougar) I wish to thank you for all of your hard work in bringing this phenomenon to public light. I have seen strange things in the woods. I never go out there without a firearm. For those reading this, when out in our forests, stay alert, stay prepared, stay in view. Not only because of these incidences of missing persons, but as basic safety. Enjoy the woods, but take the proper precautions and stay safe. I have my own conclusions as to the cause of these incidents, but draw your own conclusions. Once again, thank you for bringing this to light!
Thank you Mr Paulides for all your work. It is truely scary stuff. Thank you for bringing to light the precautions one should take when in the national parks. I really had no idea. I listened 2 both C2C interviews. Great intrrviews- and hearing u talk about these disappearances really made mewant 2 learn more.if there id a great muster a foot- this is it
Sorry typing on a tablet is not 4 me- if there is a great mystery a foot- this is surely it. These books are a must. Read !!
There seems to be an effort to close our national parks due to lack of funding, I am wondering if these closures are in the cluster areas?
