There are many cases in history mysterious disappearances of people. And although the circumstances of these strange phenomena may be quite natural, the fact remains.

In this article, we will look at the most interesting and mysterious disappearances of people that have become known to the whole world. Fans will be interested.

The Disappearance of D.B. Cooper

The world-famous hijacker D. B. Cooper, became popular after he made one interesting robbery. Having received the required amount of $ 200,000, the man parachuted out of the Boeing 727.

It is worth noting that the jump was made at an altitude of 4 km in Oregon. This case occurred in 1974. And although thousands of people were looking for him, the robber could not be found.

Disappearance of Dideritsi

In 1815, a man named Diderici came to the bank to withdraw his late boss's money.

He dressed up in his clothes and made up properly. However, his simple plan failed. The court sentenced the fraudster to 10 years in prison.

According to prison protocols, when Diderici went for a walk with other prisoners, something inexplicable began to happen. He began to slowly become invisible. As a result, the prisoner simply evaporated in the air. There was nothing left of him but the shackles.

An interesting fact is that this event took place in front of the guards and prisoners. On the litigation all witnesses claimed that Diderici gradually became transparent until he completely disappeared.

No matter how hard the investigators tried to understand this case, they could not solve it. The prison authorities stopped the investigation and considered what happened "God's will."

Lost Eskimo settlement

In November 1930, hunter Joe Labelle found himself near the Eskimo settlement, who lived on the shore of the lake. Tired of long way, he decided to find a lodging for the night.

The once prosperous settlement, which the hunter often passed by, turned out to be completely empty. It seemed that all the inhabitants in a hurry abandoned their homes and left in an unknown direction.

In one house, food was being prepared on the stove, and in another, unfinished things lay on the floor, from which a needle was sticking out. People just disappeared in the most mysterious way.

James Thetforth

This American disappeared without a trace in December 1949 while on a bus ride. He, along with 14 other people, was heading to Bennington, where his house was located. Last time James was seen sleeping in his seat.

When the bus arrived at the appointed place, it seemed to have vanished into thin air. His luggage was left on the bus. It is still unknown how Tetfort disappeared.

Lieutenant Felix Moncla

On November 23, 1953, an unknown flying object was detected by radar over Lake Michigan. In this regard, an F-89C fighter was raised into the air to intercept a suspicious object. The controllers assured that when the fighter approached the UFO, they both disappeared somewhere.

In this regard, a search operation was launched, which did not yield any results. The wreckage of the plane was never found anywhere, as a result of which many people around the world learned about the incident with the disappearance of the fighter.

The mysterious disappearance of flight MH370

The disappearance of flight MH370 remains the biggest mystery of the 21st century. The plane took off from the capital and was supposed to land on March 8, 2014.

To date, there are many versions explaining the disappearance of the aircraft, but all of them are not supported by facts and do not lend themselves to.

Disappearance of Valentich

In 1978, the famous "disappearance of Valentich" took place. This incident is unparalleled in the history of Australian aviation. When Friedrich Valentich took off on a plane into the sky, he noticed some strange object.

The pilot immediately reported this to the operators, after which his plane instantly disappeared from the radar screens. On the same day, a search and rescue operation was launched, which did not produce any results.

Tara Grinstead

Tara was a simple American teacher who taught at a school. On October 22, 2005, she mysteriously disappeared somewhere. After 4 years, a video appeared on the Internet in which a serial killer appeared. It was accompanied by the inscription "Catch me killer".

In the video, the man talked about how he killed 16 girls, among whom was Grinstead. However, it later turned out that the video was fabricated from beginning to end.

As a result, the investigators were never able to give a reasonable answer about the mysterious disappearance of the teacher.

Michael Rockefeller

An American scientist and anthropologist, who was the son of the famous businessman Nelson Rockefeller, disappeared without a trace during an expedition to New Guinea.

He wanted to meet the Asmat tribe, who were cannibals, to look at their way of life and get some unusual things. The locals tried to dissuade Michael from this idea in every possible way, fearing for his life, but he was adamant. The scientist got into the boat and swam forward.

One of recent photos Michael made in the tribe

After some time, the boat crashed, as a result of which he had to swim to the shore. After that, no one saw him. The guy's father made every effort to find the missing son, but the attempts were unsuccessful. According to the official version, Michael Rockefeller was eaten by the Asmats.

Richie Edwards

Rock fans have obviously heard of the Welsh band member Manic Street Preachers. He often arranged various performances on stage, during which he injured himself.

In addition, the man suffered from depression and alcoholism. In 1995, his car was discovered at a site known as "suicide's last resort." Nobody saw him again.

Harold Holt

Holt was once prime minister. Politics began to be discussed after his mysterious disappearance on December 17, 1967. The man disappeared while swimming in Cheviot Beach, Victoria.

After a long search, his body was never found. There is an opinion that he could have been killed because he was a supporter of the war between and, however, this version is not supported by any facts.

Disappearance of 25 people

In 1955, the merchant ship Joyta mysteriously disappeared in the Pacific Ocean with 25 people on board. Soon the ship was discovered, but it appearance left much to be desired.

The ship's pipes were completely covered with rust, and the sound of a radio playing was heard on board. Until now, the mysterious disappearance of 25 people has no official explanation.

Girls who disappeared in Dunes Park

July 2, 1966 3 girls went for a walk along the shore of Lake Michigan, leaving their things on the beach. After that, no one saw them.

The incident took place in the area national park Dunes. The police were never able to find any evidence that would help to find out the reason for their disappearance.

The mysterious disappearance of Martha Wright

In 1975, Jackson Wright was driving with his wife in his car to. After some time, leaving the Lincoln Tunnel, the driver stopped the car to wipe the windows.

He began to wipe the windshield, and his wife, Martha, began cleaning the rear window. When Jackson turned around, his wife had disappeared. The man assured the police that they were completely alone.

No matter how hard the investigators tried to find any evidence, they could not find any evidence of the girl's violent death. She just disappeared somewhere.

Connie Converse

In the 50s of the last century, Connie was a fairly successful singer. In 1974, when the woman was already in adulthood, she had a creative crisis. For this reason, she fell into a deep depression.

One day, Converse decided to write farewell letters to her friends and relatives, after which she left for an unknown destination. The singer was never seen again.

springfield trio

Three girls from Springfield, Missouri, Cheryl, Susie and Stacey, suddenly disappeared from the city. The first was 47, the second was 19, and the third was 18.

The day before, Susie and Stacey were celebrating their high school diploma and then decided to go to the house of Cheryl, who was Susie's mother. After that, the girls were never seen again.

The mystery of their disappearance remains unsolved today. An interesting fact is that the investigation of this case is still ongoing.

Amelia Earhart

In 1937, Amelia decided to fly around the world in a light twin-engine aircraft. She disappeared without a trace flying over Pacific Ocean near Howland Island. The disappearance of Earhart is fraught with many mysteries and still haunts historians.

Disappearance of hippies near Stonehenge

In 1971, the hippie company pitched tents near where they planned to spend the night and organize a joint vacation. The last to see these people was a farmer and a policeman.

Both assured that a heavy downpour with thunder and lightning began at night. Soon, one of the lightning struck the boulders, after which everything in the area was lit up with blue light.

Immediately after the flash, terrible cries of "hippies" were heard. When the farmer and the policeman approached Stonehenge, they did not see a single person. All the people have disappeared.

Thousands of people go missing every year, and the cases of these disappearances become truly discouraging, when investigators have virtually nothing to work with - situations in which no one has seen anything, and there are no reasonable explanations. It's almost the same as if these people literally vanished into thin air.

1 Maura Murray

On February 9, 2004, 21-year-old University of Massachusetts student Maura Murray reported on e-mail to her teachers and employers, who is forced to leave due to the death of a (fictitious) member of her family. She had an accident that evening, crashing her car into a tree near Woodsville, New Hampshire. By a strange coincidence, a couple of days earlier, Maura also had an accident and crashed another car.

The driver of a passing bus approached and asked Maura if the police should be called. The girl said no, but the driver still made the call as soon as he got to the nearest phone. When the police arrived ten minutes later, Maura was gone.
No signs of a struggle were found at the scene, so Maura may have asked someone to give her a lift. The next day, Maura's fiancé from Oklahoma received a voice message, presumably from her, but heard only sobs on the other end of the line. Although Maura is last days acted a little strange before disappearing, her family does not believe that she disappeared of her own free will.

Nine years have passed, but it has not been possible to find out what happened to the girl.

2. Brandon Swenson

On the evening of May 14, 2008, when nineteen-year-old Brandon Swenson was returning to his native city Marshall, Minnesota, on a rural gravel road, his car went into a ditch. Brandon called his parents and asked them to come pick him up. They immediately went in search of the vyn, but could not find him. His father called him back, Brandon picked up the phone and said that he was trying to get to the nearest town of Lead. And in the middle of the conversation, Brandon suddenly cursed, and the connection abruptly ended.

Brandon's father tried to call back several more times, but received no answer and could not find his son. Later, the police found Brandon's car, but could not find either the guy himself or his cell phone. According to one version, he could accidentally drown in a nearby river, but no traces of the body were found in it. No one knows what prompted Brandon to swear during the ringing, but it was the last thing they heard from him.

3. Louis Le Prince

Louis Le Prince is a famous French inventor who was the first to capture moving images on film. Oddly enough, the "father of cinema" is also remembered as the subject of one of the strangest disappearances in history. On September 16, 1890, Le Prince was visiting his brother in Dijon and then went by train to Paris. When the train arrived at its destination, it turned out that Le Prince had disappeared.

Le Prince was last seen entering his carriage after checking his luggage. There were no signs of violence or anything suspicious during the trip, no one could remember seeing Le Prince outside his carriage. The windows were tightly closed, so jumping off the train would have been rather difficult, but the possibility of suicide in general seemed unlikely, since Le Prince was going to go to America to get a patent for his new invention.

As a result of this disappearance, the patent for the kinetoscope (an apparatus for showing successive photographs of movement) went to Thomas Edison. As for Le Prince, his further fate still remains a mystery.

At four in the morning on December 10, 1999, an 18-year-old UCLA freshman named Michael Negrete turned off his computer, playing video games with friends all night long. At nine in the morning, his roommate woke up and noticed that Michael had left, but left all his belongings, including keys and wallet. He was never seen again.

The most curious thing about Michael's disappearance is that the guy even left his shoes. Investigators used search dogs to try to track Michael to a bus stop a couple of miles from the dorm, but how could he have gotten this far without shoes? Only one person was seen near the scene at 4:35 am, but no one knows if he is connected to Michael's disappearance. There is no reason to believe that Michael disappeared of his own accord, but there has been no news of Michael's fate for more than a decade.

5. Barbara Bolik

On July 18, 2007, Barbara Bolick, a 55-year-old woman from Corvallis, Montana, went hiking in the mountains with her friend Jim Ramaker, who was visiting from California. When Jim stopped to take in the scenery, Barbara was 6-9 meters behind him, but turning back less than a minute later, he found that the woman had disappeared. The police joined the search, but the woman could not be found.

At first glance, Jim Ramaker's story sounds absolutely incredible. However, he cooperated with the authorities, and since there was no evidence of his involvement in Barbara's disappearance, he was no longer considered a suspect. The culprit would certainly have tried to come up with a better story, rather than claiming that his victim simply vanished into thin air. Six years have passed, but no traces of a violent death have been found, as well as any hints of what could happen to Barbara.

On August 23, 2008, 51-year-old Michael Heron went to his farm in Happy Valley, Tennessee, planning to cut the grass on the lawn. That morning, neighbors saw Michael leave the farm in his all-terrain vehicle - and that was the last time he was seen. The next day, Michael's friends visited the farm and saw his truck parked on the road. A trailer was attached to it, in which a lawn mower was found, but the grass on the lawn remained untouched. His friends returned the next day and were worried when they saw the truck parked in the same place, which still had the keys, cell phone and wallet.

Three days after Michael's disappearance, investigators found the only clue: an all-terrain vehicle on a steep hill, located one and a half kilometers from his house. However, it was not clear why he needed to go there. In addition, no traces of violence were found. Michael had no enemies and no other reason to hide, so he became a truly incomprehensible mystery.

7. April Fubb

One of the most famous disappearances in British history took place in Norfolk on April 8, 1969. A 13-year-old schoolgirl named April Fabb left the house and went to her sister in a nearby village. She rode her bike there and was last seen by a truck driver. At 2:06 p.m., he noticed the girl driving along a country road. And at 2:12 p.m., her bike was found in the middle of a field a few hundred yards from where she was seen, but there was no sign of April.

Kidnapping seemed like the most likely scenario for April's disappearance, but the attacker would only have six minutes to kidnap the girl and leave the crime scene without anyone noticing. April's extensive search turned up no leads.

This case has much in common with the disappearance of another young girl, Janet Tate, in 1978, so Robert Black, a notorious child killer, was considered as a possible suspect. However, there is no evidence to definitively determine his involvement in April's disappearance, so this mystery remains unresolved as well.

8. Brian Shaffer

A 27-year-old medical student from the University of Ohio went to the bar on the evening of April 1, 2006. Sometime between 1:30 and 2:00 he mysteriously disappeared. He drank a lot that night and, after talking to his girlfriend on his cell phone, he was last seen in the company of two young women. However, no one in the bar could remember if he had been seen after that.

The most difficult question in this story, which remains unanswered, is how Brian got out of the bar. CCTV footage clearly shows him entering the bar, but none of the footage shows him leaving! Neither Brian's friends nor his family believe he went into hiding on purpose. Three weeks earlier, he had been studying well and was planning to go on vacation with his girlfriend. But if Brian was kidnapped or he was the victim of another crime, then how did the attacker get him out of the bar without being noticed by any witnesses or security cameras?

9. Jason Yolkowsky

On the morning of June 13, 2001, 19-year-old Jason Yolkowski was called to work. He asked his friend to pick him up at a nearby high school, but he never showed up.

The last time Jason was seen by his neighbor was about half an hour before the appointment, when the guy was carrying garbage cans into his garage. CCTV Cameras high school show that he did not appear there. Jason had no personal problems or any other reason to disappear, nor is there any evidence that anything could have happened to him. His fate remains a mystery even twelve years later.

In 2003, Jim and Kelly Jolkowsky immortalized their son's name by founding their project, a non-profit organization that has become one of the most famous foundations for the families of the missing.

10. Nicole Maureen

On July 30, 1985, eight-year-old Nicole Maureen left her mother's penthouse in Toronto. That morning, Nicole was going to swim in the pool with her friend. She said goodbye to her mother and left the apartment, but 15 minutes later her friend came to find out why Nicole hadn't left yet.

Nicole's disappearance led to one of the largest police investigations in Toronto history, but no trace of the girl has ever been found. The most plausible assumption was that someone could have kidnapped Nicole right after she left the apartment, but the building had twenty floors, so it would be quite difficult to get her out of there unnoticed. One of the tenants said that he saw Nicole approaching the elevator, but no one else saw or heard anything. Nearly thirty years later, authorities still haven't collected enough data to establish what happened to Nicole Maureen.

Unfortunately, many people go missing almost every day. Some cases of disappearance are not just made public, but are actively discussed all over the world. In today's article, we will tell you about the disappearance of people whose cases are well known to many.

April Fabb
The disappearance of a 13-year-old Norfolk schoolgirl has become one of the most notorious cases in British history. It happened on a quiet and calm April day in 1969. April decided to visit her sister, who lived in a nearby village. The girl rode a bicycle, because the weather favored this type of transport. April, 13, was last seen by a truck driver. According to the driver, he saw a girl driving along a country road at about 2:06 pm. Based on the investigation data, already at 14:12 April's bicycle was found several hundred yards from the same country road in the middle of the field, but there were no traces, any physical evidence or biological material the girl was not there.
The investigation revealed the cards, telling the public that the alleged kidnappers had only 6 minutes to grab the girl and escape from the scene of the crime unnoticed. All searches for April were unsuccessful. The investigators did not understand how the kidnappers could do their job in just 6 minutes without any traces or evidence. Theodosia Barr Alston

Theodosia Barr

Alston was the oldest child in the family of disgraced US Vice President Aaron Burr. She later successfully married South Carolina Governor Joseph Alstor. Fate was not kind to this woman. Five years later, after her father was accused of treason, her beloved son dies. She was so blinded by grief that she could not get out of bed. Theodosia could not eat or drink anything for days, she did not communicate with anyone, but only occasionally allowed her husband into her room. A breath of fresh air for her was the news that her father was returning home from exile. This gave strength to the young woman, because she understood that she would meet a person dear to her.


On New Year's Eve 1812, Theodosia boarded a schooner called the Patriot, which was supposed to take her to New York to her father. Her husband, who had recently assumed the office of governor, was unable to accompany her due to his duties in connection with the war of 1812, which broke out at about the same time that Theodosia's son died. The schooner never reached its destination. Some have suggested that the ship was taken over by pirates, but most historians seem to believe that the Patriot sank in a major storm that was reported in the region at the time.

Glenn Miller

Glenn Miller is a famous American arranger, trombonist and leader of one of the largest swing orchestras of those times. From the late 1930s to the early 1940s, he was the most sought-after artist in America. After the United States of America entered the Second world war, Henry decided to join the US Navy, but was rejected, and instead decided to do everything in his power to help the army. At the end of 1944, Miller and two other military men boarded a plane that was to fly to France, where he was going to organize a concert for the American military. But suddenly the plane disappeared from the radar somewhere over the English Channel. Search crews never found either the plane or the passengers. He just disappeared.

Amelia Earhart

The story of Amelia Earhart is probably the most famous missing person incident. Her exploits as a pilot made her a worldwide celebrity. In 1937, Earhart and navigator Fred Noonan embarked on a planned flight around the world. On July 2, Earhart began sending out radio messages indicating that they were low on fuel and were desperately looking for help. The US Coast Guard patrol vessel Itasca moved to the rescue. But the Itasca never found Earhart and Noonan's plane, so an attempt was made to set off smoke signals, in the hope that the pilots would be able to see the smoke, but all was in vain. After an official search by the US Navy and Coast Guard, as well as a private search funded by Amelia's husband, no serious results were found. Amelia Earhart and Fred Noonan were declared dead in 1939.

Sergei Bodrov

Much is known today about how Sergei Bodrov died, but the very moment of his death can only be reconstructed according to the circumstances clarified during the investigation. In the early autumn morning of September 20, 2002, the group, having gathered in the lobby of the hotel, went to the mountains for location shooting. The day did not start right away, there was a rise ahead, and we had to wait a long time vehicles, in connection with which the start of work, planned for 9:00, was delayed until one in the afternoon. Then, as it turned out later, the shooting nevertheless began and continued until about seven in the evening, when it began to get dark. The film crew of Sergei Bodrov loaded the equipment and set off on the return journey. At a quarter past nine, a mudflow covered a huge area, its mass was several million tons of stones, mud, sand and ice, and the speed exceeded 100 km / h. The layer was thick and reached 300 meters.

The history of mankind is full of mysteries to which we, apparently, are no longer destined to know the answer. Many of them are connected with mysterious incidents that had no witnesses. The most famous of them, such as the mystery of the Dyatlov Pass or the story of the lost Roanoke colony, have become world famous and overgrown with countless speculations and legends. However, these two cases do not end the mysterious incidents that have ever really happened in human history.

And today website decided to tell about less famous, but no less mysterious and exciting stories, the heroes of which were people who disappeared without a trace.

Lighthouse on Eilean More

Ten days later, news came to Braskleet station from the crew of the Arktor steamer. The sailors reported that the lights were not on at the lighthouse, in violation of all instructions. However, either out of carelessness, or because of the impending bad weather, no one swam to the island to check if everything was in order.

During the investigation of this loss, the tiny island was scoured meter by meter, but no trace of Marshall, Dukat and MacArthur was ever found. On this occasion, the most incredible versions are put forward: evil spirits, aliens and even fantastic birds are blamed for the disappearance.

The investigation adheres to a more prosaic version: presumably, anticipating the imminent bad weather, the men went to the rocks to secure the equipment, but were washed away by a sudden surging wave (which had been observed here before). Perhaps it was a strong reluctance to finish the job in squally winds and heavy rain that made them break the instructions.

springfield trio

Another story about the disappearance of three people at once. It happened in the city of Springfield on June 7, 1992. 19-year-old friends Suzanne Streeter and Stacey McCall graduated from high school and had a great time at the graduation party. After the holiday, at about two in the morning, the girls went home to Suzanne, where her mother Cheryl Levitt was at that moment. Nobody else saw them.

The girl's friend Janelle Kirby was the first to discover the loss, who looked into the house with her boyfriend: recent schoolchildren were going to spend the day at the water park, but Suzanne and Stacey did not get in touch. According to Janelle, the door was unlocked, the lampshade over the porch was broken, although the light bulb survived. There was no one in the house, except for the Yorkshire terrier, which belonged to Suzanne and her mother. The dog was very excited.

Initially, Janelle and her boyfriend did not think that something serious had happened. They even, without any malicious intent, swept the glass from the broken lampshade from the porch, possibly destroying some of the evidence.

suzanne and stacey prom

As a result, the alarm was sounded by Mrs. McCall, who for a long time could not contact her daughter. She went to the Streeters' house and found Stacey's purse and clothes. Mrs. McCall listened to the answering machine and, according to her, found a very strange message, but accidentally erased the recording.

The ship was supposed to deliver ethanol owned by Meissner Ackermann & Coin to its destination, but the sailboat never arrived in Italy. Four weeks later, the ship was discovered by Captain David Reed Morehouse, who personally knew Briggs, who was in charge of the Dei Gracia brig.

The ship appeared undamaged to Morehouse, with no one on board. Everything testified to the urgent evacuation of people from the ship: there was no boat, the compass was broken when they hastily tried to remove it from the wall. However, the reasons that forced people to leave the ship are unclear.

The untouched captain's jewels and the oil dish that was not overturned, left by the captain's wife on a sewing machine, disproved the version of a pirate attack or a storm. The cargo turned out to be almost completely intact (only nine barrels were missing), the ship's log remained on board, the last entry in which, dated November 24, reports that the ship is approaching the island of Santa Maria.

The most plausible version of what happened was expressed by a distant relative of Briggs: he suggested that the alcohol was packed leaky and slowly evaporated, which, when an accidental spark appeared, provoked a microexplosion in the hold. Fearing a second, stronger explosion, the captain urgently evacuated the crew, tying the boat to the Mary Celeste with tackle to raise one of the sails.

However, when the wind picked up, the ship rushed forward, and the tackle tied to the crowded boat stretched and broke. Perhaps then the boat was overturned by a wave, and all its passengers died.

Carolina Sagers Milonsky and her daughter

On November 21, 1987, the owner of a Summerville store in South Carolina discovered that his subordinate, Carolina Sagers Milonsky, had not shown up for work. The man could not contact the worker and went in search of her.

Before reaching Carolina's house, the boss found her car. The closed car was parked near the plantation where the woman's husband worked. To make sure, the chief called the police and reported the disappearance of a person.

Law enforcement officers found out that the last time Carolina was seen when she was driving along the highway at about 11 o'clock in the afternoon. No more information was obtained by the police. No signs of a struggle were found near the car, and the study of the plantation also yielded no results.

There was no change in the case until another disappearance occurred on October 4, 1988: this time, Caroline's 11-year-old daughter from her first marriage, Annette Sagers, went missing.

The police suggested how the matured Annette should look like, and made up her modern identikit.

The last girl was seen by her stepfather. Around seven o'clock in the morning, she was waiting for a school bus at the very plantation where her mother had disappeared. When the driver arrived to pick up the schoolgirl, Annette was gone. The girl's stepfather did not know that his stepdaughter was missing until he realized that she had not returned from school. Then the man went to the bus stop, where he found a note with the words: “Dad, mom is back. Hug the boys." By "boys" they meant the brothers of the girls.

The examination established that the note was indeed written by Annette. Until now, this piece of paper remains the only piece of evidence in the disappearance case. As a result, this story has acquired legends: some locals suggest that Carolina was abducted by aliens and returned for her daughter, others think that Annette was taken away by the ghost of her murdered mother.

• The first disappearance occurred in 1945. 74-year-old forest ranger Middy Rivers in the company of four hunters, he made his way through the forest between the tourist trail and the highway. At some point, Rivers went a little ahead, and the satellites lost sight of him. Nothing is known about his further fate. According to the hunters, an experienced forester simply could not get lost.

Paula Welden

Almost no trace of the girl was found. Although later a suspect appeared - one of the local residents, who, judging by the rumors, one day in a drunken stupor admitted that he was aware of where the girl had gone. However, since Paula's body was never found, there was no trial of this man.

• Three years later, perhaps one of the most mysterious disappearances in the Bennington Triangle occurred. James Tedford was returning home by bus from relatives. He was last seen in the back seat of the bus, where his belongings and an open booklet with the timetable were left. It was on penultimate stop route. However, James never arrived at the final. What happened to him and how this is possible, no one knows so far.
• 16 days after that, 53-year-old Frida Langer went missing in the Bennington Triangle, having gone on a hike with her cousin. She fell into a stream and got wet, which caused her to leave her companion for a while and head to the campsite to change. Nobody saw her again.

This ends the cases of mysterious disappearances in the Bennington Triangle.

All these stories make people puzzle over what happened for more than a decade. It turns out to be easier for someone to attribute what is happening to mysticism, the more persistent ones continue to delve into the archives, hoping to find the answer.

But no matter how many years pass, these stories will not be forgotten, because human nature will not allow to disappear without a trace what once awakened such a burning curiosity in the mind.

The unexplained disappearance and whereabouts of more than thirty men, women and children who disappeared from an Eskimo village in the first half of the twentieth century near Lake Anjikuni.
Lake Anjikuni is rich in pike and trout. It is located along the banks of the Kazan River in one of the remote regions of Canada. This region is rich in legends about evil spirits. The more fascinating and mysterious is the story of the disappearance of local residents.
The whole story began in November 1930, when the Canadian fur hunter Labelle arrived in an Eskimo village, and to his surprise found that the huts were empty. But just a few weeks ago it was a hospitable, noisy settlement, in which life was in full swing. Now he was greeted with deathly silence. The hunter failed to find a single inhabitant of the village. Of course, he wanted to know what happened. However, his search yielded no results. He went around the whole village, looking into every corner.

The kayak boats of the local population were in their usual place, on the pier, and all the necessary household items and weapons were left in the houses. In the houses, the hunter also found pots with a traditional dish - stew. All stocks of fish were also in place. Everything was exactly the same as before, except for the people. The tribe, which numbered more than two and a half thousand people, disappeared without a trace on the most ordinary day. The hunter did not find any signs of a struggle.
Another detail that added to the mystery of the situation was that there were no traces of the village.
According to Labelle, he felt an inexplicable fear and tension in the abdomen, and immediately rushed to the telegraph office and sent an alert to the Royal Canadian Mountain Police. Since no one had ever heard anything like it, the police immediately sent a whole expedition to the village. The search for residents stretched along the entire coast of the lake. When the police arrived at the scene, several more facts were discovered that indicated that the disappearance was of a mystical nature. First, the Eskimos did not take sled dogs, as the hunter had originally assumed. Their icy skeletons were found deep under the snow. They died of hunger. Moreover, it turned out that the graves of the ancestors were opened, and the bodies of the deceased disappeared without a trace.
These facts baffled the local authorities. It was clear that neither of the two modes of transport people used. In addition, if they voluntarily left the village, then, in extreme cases, they would not leave the dogs tied, they would let them go, giving them the opportunity to find their own food. But the second mystery seems more strange - scientists burn with confidence that the Eskimos could not disturb the graves of their ancestors, since this is prohibited by customs.

And besides, the earth at that time was so frozen that it was simply impossible to tear it apart without the help of special equipment. According to one of the police officers who took part in the search, what happened in the village is physically absolutely impossible. Seven decades later, no one has been able to challenge this assertion. Until now, the Canadian authorities have not been able to solve the mystery of Lake Anjikuni. Moreover, they could not find the descendants of the members of this tribe. And everything looks as if this village never existed in the world.

Such, at least strange disappearance of the whole village defies any more or less reasonable explanation. Even if someone had attacked the tribe, the police would have found the remains of people or traces of confrontation, but nothing of the kind was found ...
However, this is far from the only case; history keeps many more such legends. In Kenya, in one of the tribes, researchers heard a legend about the island of Envaitenet, on which a large tribe lived for a very long time. It was engaged in trade with other tribes. But one day the trade just stopped. Scouts were sent to the island, who brought information that the village was empty, while all things remained in their places. But, again, a completely logical question arises: How and, most importantly, why were the inhabitants of a whole tribe able to cross the lake unnoticed and where did they disappear altogether? After this incident, the island, whose name means "irrevocable", is considered cursed.
Similar disappearances also happened in Russia. A lot of reports of similar cases appeared in the media regarding Lake Pleshcheyevo. According to history, once upon a time a beautiful city of Kleshchin was built on this lake, but one day all the inhabitants left it just like the Eskimos left their village. Legends say that this city was cursed by the Spirit of the Lake. Therefore, the city of Pereyaslavl-Zalessky, which was built later in this area, was erected away from the lake. And although these are just beautiful legends, however, Lake Pleshcheyevo still inspires fear in the local population. Residents believe that the fog that often appears on the lake is very dangerous. And if you get into it, you can be in parallel world and return in a few days, or even disappear altogether.
Something similar is happening in the Irkutsk region. In 1997, in the Nizhneilimsk region, not far from the Dead Lake, three local police officers disappeared. And five years earlier, in the same area, a whole train disappeared along with all the people accompanying it.
The Pskov region also has its own anomalous place. This is an area near the village of Lyady, which is crossed by a ravine. It was there that the brigade sent for logging disappeared.
All these stories are united by the fact that they all have explanations, even if not entirely plausible. But how to explain the disappearance of people in front of a large number witnesses? So, for example, the story that happened to the farmer Lange, who disappeared in front of five eyewitnesses, is widely known. And such stories also happen very often. Even in the annals of the seventeenth century there are records that during the meal Monk Ambrose literally disappeared into the air.

But in those days, such incidents were explained very simply - intrigues evil spirits and sorcery. In the early 1800s, British Ambassador B. Bathurst disappeared in exactly the same way. At first, his disappearance was not given due importance, writing it off as Napoleonic intrigues. However, numerous eyewitness accounts confirmed that Napoleon had nothing to do with this case.
A more modern case occurred already in our time, when the wife disappeared almost in front of her husband, just getting out of the car to wipe the windows.
But not always people disappear without a trace. Sometimes it happens that people who disappeared in one place, after a certain period of time, appear in another, completely unfamiliar place. So, for example, it happened in the second half of the twentieth century with one of the military pilots who had to eject because his plane crashed. When he came to his senses, it turned out that the place of the accident was about one kilometer away. And one of his colleagues claims that the plane simply disappeared.
The Chinese town of Guilin, known for winding branching caves, can also "boast" of cases of disappearances of people. Guides who conduct tours of the caves are forced to count tourists after each trip to the cave. And the reason is not only that someone can fall behind or get lost. In 2001, a very strange, but rather funny story happened. A new tourist joined one of the excursions, whom no one had seen before. It turned out that this man himself believes that he is in 1998, and he caught up with his group, from which he lagged behind, deciding to take a little rest in one of the caves.
In 1621, the royal guards of Mikhail Fedorovich captured the detachment of Khan Devlet Giray, who went on a campaign in 1571. What amazement was read on their faces when they found out what year they were in. According to the soldiers of the detachment, they, along with Tatar army took part in the storming of Moscow, on their way there was a deep ravine covered with fog. They managed to leave it only after half a century.
According to scientists, such disappearances can be explained by the existence of temporary "black holes" through which a person can fall into parallel reality, but getting back is almost impossible. Such dips in time arise due to geophysical anomalies, such as faults earth's crust. No less frequently used is the version that people are abducted by aliens to conduct their research.
Teleportation is an unpredictable phenomenon, so it is impossible to know in advance exactly where this anomaly can take a person. Scientists also argue that residents of religious tribes, the main part of whose life is meditation, as well as Tibetan yoga, can demonstrate such miracles. Teleportation can also be explained by the fact that under certain circumstances, paranormal supernatural abilities can “wake up” in a person, in particular, the emergence of a danger to life and a great desire to leave a certain place. This assumption was proved experimentally - a dog was set on a cat. The cat was so frightened that he hissed and ... disappeared. Only the collar was found on the spot, and the animal itself was found a few days later on the roof of the church bell tower.
Similar cases are recorded almost every day. And even despite the fact that most of them have a prosaic, ordinary explanation, nevertheless, some of them really defy any logic and amaze with their mystery and mystical background. You can be sure that most of the cases will never get on the pages of the media, because there will simply be no one to tell about them ...
