unusual
disappearances
It’s
a
global
occurrence;
hundreds
of thousands
of people
vanish
all the time for various reasons. The reasons can be voluntary or
involuntary. After assessing, determining, and
accounting for
the motive
for
their
disappearances, hidden
within the involuntary vanishings
are
a fraction of disturbing
and unusual
disappearances that are so odd and
mystifying that
they
defy any logical explanation from
the
helpless
law
enforcement officials.
In
this blog, I will
rely
mainly
on
David Paulides’s
work for
people
who have disappeared
under unusual circumstances.
Paulides is a veteran law enforcement investigator
from Montana and
has written numerous well-documented books and produced
several
documentaries
on this subject. He
also
has
select cases on his YouTube channel, Canam
Missing Project.
David
Paulides isn’t without his critics and nay-sayers. Many of his
adversaries are shallow, closed-minded, arrogant
individuals
lacking the understanding and depth of the topic they are criticizing
or
investigating.
There are also cover-ups from those who want to keep this
information under wraps and discourage further investigation into
these mysteries.
There is
even
more disturbing
information
from Dr. Steven Greer, who
heads the whistle-blower disclosure project,
and
others
that illegal
rogue
elements within the
transnational
Military
Industrial Complex are
involved in some
of
these abductions
and disappearances.
According
to Greer, psychological operations involving
fake alien abductions began sometime in the early
1950s.
Since
then, the Military Industrial Complex has ramped up its
operations using
advanced technology
from
back-engineered captured
alien
craft, which have become
even
more
sophisticated
in
recent years to
a point, according
to Greer,
where it’s difficult to distinguish between a man-made and alien
abduction.
For
years, Paulides resisted
reaching
any conclusions about
the unusual
disappearances
because
his
focus was
on
collecting
facts, but
eventually concluded
that some, if not all, of
the
cases in his books
were somehow related to paranormal events. These
paranormal
interactions
are
complex, involving
unknown players
that
rarely reveal themselves,
are
not
straightforward, and are confusing
for
law enforcement investigators
to
the point where
some
don’t want to deal with these
cases.
Paulides’s
work is of personal interest because of my abduction experiences
in the
Cypress Hills, Saskatchewan, during my
youth, where I have no recollection of my involvement with my
abductors, but
I
was
aware of something unusual happening around me.
Luckily,
most of my abductions had a positive outcome, with only one negative
experience. Had
I offered to stay with my abductors or been forced under duress to
stay, or had something happened where I became deceased and later my
body discovered by searchers either whole or in part,
I
would have been classified as a missing person and/or
having become deceased under unusual circumstances and
probably ended up in one of Paulides’s
Missing-411
books.
The
Native Americans, Canada’s First Nations, and indigenous peoples
from
around
the world have known about these paranormal events
and their influences on their societies from time immemorial. Some
tribal communities
have developed protocols to ward off or minimize their
harmful effects. Western cultures are generally oblivious to paranormal events and
treat them as folklore, craziness, delusions, or myths. The
actions
behind
these unusual occurrences can be many, but karma (good
or
bad),
low-life
entities
exploiting
the
public’s
ignorance, and
living on cursed or highly charged land where several ley lines intersect are
some strong
possibilities.
Nefarious
elements
within the Military
Industrial Complex are
a recent actor
in
these mysterious vanishings.
It’s
also possible on
a subconscious level, the abductees may be completely unaware
of the deals they have made with their abductors before
being abducted.
The
source of karmic expressions, whether good or bad, is complicated
because they not only deal with actions from this lifetime but also
previous lives before this one. The old saying, as
you sow, so you reap transcends time and space and what
goes around comes around.
We
are currently
faced
with another dilemma
when it comes
to these unusual disappearances: our level of consciousness.
We are taught we live in a three-dimensional material
universe
as
seen
from
the
perspective
of our
waking,
dreaming, and sleep state of consciousness. In
reality, we live in a multidimensional universe where dimensions seem
to periodically overlap. From
the universe’s vantage
point, paranormal
is normal, and
without this normalcy of the
Grand Totality, the universe couldn’t exist, and what’s paranormal is from the
observer’s viewpoint and their level of consciousness.
We
are not only influenced by what’s in our three-dimensional world
but also by
the
multidimensional world.
There
is much
more
going on around us than
what we are aware of. Developing
our full potential by raising
our consciousness would be a good
step
in the right direction. The
gateway to and from other dimensions can
be natural or artificial, allowing
entities to come through or
leave.
From our limited
three-dimensional
point
of view
and
adding
the
negative and condescending social
environment
we live in,
any
disappearance and
lack of closure can
be devastating to
family, friends, and the community
but from another
level, it may be a completely different story.
David
Paulides
has looked at more than 5000
cases of
unusual disappearances
globally
and has distilled his research down to roughly
1200
cases that
ended up in his Missing-411
books.
He
identified several profile points that occur
repeatedly
and
are not
coincidental or
random.
1.
Clusters
of Missing: Fifty-two clusters of missing people were
found in
North America. One
cluster
completely encircles the Great Lakes Region, and
the largest cluster of missing people is at Yosemite National Park.
2.
Canines/Bloodhounds:
When
brought to the scene can’t find a scent or refuse to search. This
is almost a universal fact.
Canines are an invaluable tool in the search effort and
should be put to work immediately while
the scent is still fresh.
If the person disappears into ‘nowhere’, the canines will stop
and go no further.
3.
Lack
of Memory: Victims who live to survive their disappearance cannot
remember key parts of their ordeal. They are found in a semiconscious
or unconscious condition. When pushed hard for details, they normally
cannot remember.
4.
Loss
of Time: Victims
who cannot remember large gaps of time. When
victims
are
found in the water, they weren’t
in the water the entire time they were missing.
5.
Water:
Many of the cases involve victims being found in or near creeks,
rivers, swamps, and lakes. The center point is water.
6.
Intellect:
Unusual
disappearances involve
a high percentage of people
with
high intellect, college-age
men with high levels of athletic achievement. It’s like a
culling of the best of the best from a very specific portion of North
America.
7.
Found
in Location Previously Searched: Many times, victims and evidence are
found in locations that have
been
previously searched. The
same
areas were searched dozens of times. Paulides
cautions his readers that the searchers were not inattentive. The
news media and searchers admitted that the victim was found in a
location that was previously searched.
8.
Loss
of Clothing and/or Shoes: This is a common occurrence; victims are
found without their shoes, pants, etc., and under conditions that
can’t explain that loss. There are also incidents where belts are
placed on pants in an unusual way that can’t be explained. How and
why the victims are losing these items is unexplainable. Sometimes, one or more personal effects of the victim are found by hikers and
hunters strewn over several hundred
meters,
completely out of character with the victim’s movements. The same
applies to the victim, where they have disappeared and where they are
later found is a complete disconnect with their movements
and abilities to get into those locations.
9.
Missing
from Inside a Building: Many
investigators in the past have
missed this point.
For
instance, children
who
went
missing from inside their
homes
had alarms activated, but they never went off. Another
example, there are several cases where people
are
seen going into a bar on camera (assuming film footage is
continuous), but not coming out. Other
instances where a camera is panning a river, observes a victim and
pans away. When the camera comes back, the victim is gone.
10.
Whether hiking, hunting, or with friends, there is a point of
separation where the individual leaves their companions or
the main group and
is on their own. It’s almost like the unseen abductor is singling
these individuals out for the very purpose of an abduction.
11.
GHB
(Gamma-Hydroxybutyrate): A central nervous system depressant that
occurs naturally in the body in very small amounts. It is also a
manufactured drug as a “date rape” drug. Some
victims, mostly
young college males,
found in water in
urban areas have
unusually high GHB in their blood, which
is uncharacteristic
for
the victim. Autopsy
toxicology reports usually
don’t contain GHB testing, but should since it can shed
more light on the investigation and cause of death.
12.
Many of the people disappearing in the Missing-411 books have
Germanic surnames.
13.
This profile point is characteristic of older people; many have some
sort of disability or
health issue.
14.
Missing
Person Case Is Suspected of Being a Crime: Relatives
and family members make
statements that they believe a crime has occurred.
Demographic
statistics of the 1127 missing persons cases obtained
from
the first seven of Paulides' Missing-411 books (Rezny,
2023):
1)
853 males (75.7%) and 274 females (24.3%).
2)
479 (42.5%) are 0–17 years old, 625 (55.5%) are 18+, and 23 (2%)
are of unknown age.
3)
Of the confirmed adult victims, 199 (17.7%) are 18–24, 113 (10%)
are 25–34, 73 (6.5%) are 35–44, 69 (6.1%) are 45–54, 62 (5.5%)
are 55–64, and 106 (9.4%) are 64+.
4)
269
(23.8%) were found alive, 355 (31.5%) were found dead, and 501
(44.5%) were never found.
Striking
comparisons between the demographic statistics:
1) The vast majority of those found alive were minors, 247 out of 268.
2)
Young men between 18–24 years of age were found dead much more
often than the rest of the adults (64% versus 13–40% for all other
adult gender+age groups).
3)
The elderly have the highest rate of not being found (81%).
4)
Women, both minors and adults, are found more often alive than their
male cohorts by roughly 10–15%.
Profile
points statistics of the 1127 missing persons cases:
1)
Dogs failed to find scent and track the victim in 81% of cases.
2)
86 victims (7.6%) were found alive, and 198 (17.6%) were dead in or near
water.
3)
61 victims (5.4%) were found alive, and 124 (11%) were dead in a place
previously searched (59 of those found alive were minors).
4)
417 victims (37%) disappeared in the afternoon between noon and 8:00
p.m., and 205 (18.2%) in the remaining 16 hours of the day (the rest
of the reports presumably don’t include precise time of
disappearance).
5)
Bad weather adversely affected 381 search and rescue missions
(33.8%), but the search outcomes were almost identical with cases
where bad weather wasn’t involved.
6)
220 cases (19.5%) involve reports of missing clothing, 176 case
descriptions (15.6%) mention shoes or socks specifically.
Having
laid out
a
brief background
for
these unusual disappearances,
this brings me to the point of this blog: a
local case involving a young man, Byron
Watson,
who disappeared on
November 26, 2023. I’m not saying that this case is one
of Paulides’s
Missing-411 cases,
nor
am
I
saying that the young man was abducted during
a paranormal event. However,
I
was reminded of my abduction experiences, and after
being
introduced to David Paulides’s work, I began to wonder if
there was anything unusual going on in and around the Maple Creek
area at
the
time of
his disappearance.
Was
there paranormal activity in and around Maple Creek, Saskatchewan, in
October- December 2023? Interestingly
enough, there was.
A
lady
from
Maple Creek was
walking
along a trail
at the
Cypress
Hills Park, Saskatchewan, when
she came across what looked like Sasquatch tracks. The sighting was
originally
posted on Facebook: Cypress Hills Interprovincial Park, October 31,
2023.
The
exact
location at the park is
unknown.
The post was removed shortly after being posted. The shoe is a
lady’s
size 9 US
(24.6 cm or 9.7”).
The experiencer
gave little information, however,
she
did
post
two images of
footprints roughly 46 cm (18”) long and 20 cm (8”) wide in
fresh snow and solid ground.
They
look recent but not fresh, as
seen by some blowing snow in the track.
The
footprint on solid ground seems to indicate the individual was very
heavy, leaving soil turned up at the ball of the foot as it walked.
There
has been no follow-up to verify the sighting or
to confirm the
tracks’
authenticity.
There
was no indication that this was a Halloween
prank; however, after providing more
information
about Sasquatches in the area on the Facebook post, it
was promptly
removed
either
by the Cypress Hills Interprovincial
Park page administrators or the experiencer. The
presence of Sasquatch almost always indicates there is paranormal
activity in the area.
Sometime around November 26th,
2023, I went for my evening walk between 7:00-8:30 PM near Byron's aunt's house. I
did this regularly and always made a
habit of looking up into the sky. I’m sometimes amazed at what I
see up there. One
night around this time, I noticed a bright object about the
brightness
of Venus.
The object was stationary in the clear black sky. Just when I had
the thought
that the
bright object must be
Venus, the object
started to slowly move and then fade
out. It’s almost as if it read my
mind. Whether it faded out by moving
away or by slowly dimming out, I don’t know. The object was not a
meteorite, jet, plane, space station, satellite or anything like
that. I didn’t
note the time and day of the sighting
and more or less forgot about it until a couple of weeks later, I
wondered if it had anything to do with
Byron’s
disappearance. Around the middle of
December 2023, I anonymously
gave a write-up of what I saw to the
Maple Creek
RCMP. I’ve since lost my copy, and this entry
is a recollection of what I had written.
Byron
Watson was from Nekaneet Cree Nation and Maple Creek, where his aunt lives. Byron
was 23 years old when he went missing, 5’8” in height, 175 lbs,
brown eyes, and black hair. He was last seen leaving his aunt's house
on Lonsdale Street, Sunday, November 26th,
2023. Surveillance video footage between 9:30 AM-5:00 PM on the 26th
was requested by investigators. He was
employed at the Maple Creek Livestock Auction Barn, and the Friday
before he went missing, he attended his brother’s hockey game to
lend support. The family picked up his last paycheck from the
Livestock Auction Barn and was monitoring his bank
account.
Just
before his disappearance on November 26th,
Byron left his aunt's house, saying he was going to ‘peace out’ and
would be back later. [Did
he leave in a vehicle, and if so, was it ever found?] There was nothing out of the ordinary. It was
a regular Sunday, and he had no plans. Byron was described by
his family as
happy-go-lucky, quiet, ready to lend a hand to anybody, and had plans
to go back to the oil field in January. It was uncharacteristic for
him to go missing, and he always kept in touch
with his family.
Byron
WatsonWhen
Byron went missing on November 26th,
multiple ground searches led by family members and Nekaneet search
parties were done in the following weeks and months in Maple Creek
and the surrounding area, including the nearby Nekaneet First Nation.
Maple Creek RCMP assisted in multiple air searches using drones.
Police
canines were also used, turning up nothing. A
total of 170 sq km were covered, turning up nothing, and the RCMP
informed the family they had no new leads. He simply disappeared.
In
mid-December 2023, CP Rail Police had a surveillance image of someone
they thought resembled Byron, but upon close examination by the
family members, it wasn’t him. Byron wore blue jeans and not sweats, and the
boots
didn’t match what he was wearing at the time.
Byron’s
grandmother thought something was not
right
and tried to file a missing person’s report on November 30, 2023, and
at 1PM that day, she got a call back from the RCMP saying he was
not missing and probably
at a house in Nekaneet First Nation. His
grandmother called a family member to check on the home in Nekaneet First Nation, and he wasn’t there. Another missing person’s report was filed
on December 1, 2023, with the RCMP and this report was taken
seriously.
It’s
been over a year now, and there are no new
leads.
Byron is still missing. His picture is still posted at various
locations in Maple Creek with the hope that he is found.
