Missing 411 Deep Dive - Nov 16, 2024

Seriah is joined by Brennan Storr and Saxon in a deep dive into David Paulides’ “Missing 411” material. Topics include omitted information, the case of Aaron Hedges who went missing while bow hunting and may have a much more mundane explanation, drama between Paulides and paranormal author and researcher Steph Young, wrongful accusations of plagiarism, a researcher run off of Reddit, Facebook chaos, intellectual property and monetization, the Smiley Face killers, fanatical Paulides followers and internet harassment, a massive search and rescue operation and evidence found by a complete civilian, fallacies about missing persons cases, common-place reasons for search and rescue failures, S.A.R .Woods and creepypastas about stairways in the forest, the “Ghost Story Guys” podcast, a fascinating story from Serbia, strange weather phenomena and missing people vs normal meteorological events, missing time/memories and multiple explanations, Saxon’s encounter with a missing time survivor, Brennan’s experience with a blue-tinted reality slip in a hospital elevator, Seriah’s bizarre fire alarm and orb flock encounter, a analogy for the paranormal based on cancer, a horrific but mundane story that could have been a Missing 411 case if it hasn’t been solved, missing children saved by “bears”, a missing woman (Amanda Eller) lost in a Hawaiian jungle for seventeen days despite a massive active search and being only about four miles from the parking lot, Saxon’s trip to Iceland and bizarre tragic deaths there due to drastic weather changes, Chris McCandless who died preventably in Alaska as described in “Into the Wild” by Jon Krakauer, a deployment of U.S. Army Special Forces troops to assist in a search and rescue attempt, Brennan’s book “Strange Little Place”, a misperception of a UFO sighting and military cover-up, the fictional series “Impulse”, questions challenging Paulides’ objectivity on fairly easily explainable cases, incidents of wild hogs attacking/eating humans, a strange 1937 child disappearance with unanswered questions, and much more! This is a riveting discussion!
