Topic: Missing 411

David Paulides’ "Missing 411" data is analyzed as a modern parallel to historical fairy abductions, suggesting that humans in national parks may be "preyed upon" by non-human spirits. The discussion posits that frequenting wilderness areas without spiritual permission has trained certain entities to abduct humans, similar to seagulls learning to steal chips. While some UFO abductions are attributed to Cold War MKUltra projects, Paulides’ data is viewed as a cleaner set for studying genuine interdimensional interference.

The discussion turns to David Paulides and his Missing 411 research regarding mysterious disappearances in national parks. Soraya reveals a falling out with Paulides over plagiarism accusations made against researcher Steph Young. Further criticism is directed at Paulides for allegedly omitting data from cases that were later solved and shifting his focus toward UFOs primarily for financial gain at conferences.

The host revisits the connection between Jay Weidner's plasma theories and David Paulides' Missing 411 research. He notes that witnesses in disappearance cases often report strange sounds or static electricity, which aligns with the idea of plasma-induced portals. Carlwood mentions that these events frequently occur near large boulders or specific geological formations, suggesting a physical mechanism for the disappearances.

Gordon White and the host establish the criteria for their lists, noting the difficulty in distinguishing between paranormal, conspiracy, and magic genres. White explains his goal is to provide a list that could "science" a cynical person into a paranormal cosmology using empirical data on life after death and telepathy. They discuss how certain books like Missing 411 blur these lines and mention the physical challenge of accessing their libraries during life transitions.

The episode concludes with a preview of the "Plus" subscriber segment, which covers Pluto's Cave, Missing 411 cases at Mount Shasta, and sex magic. Greg Carlwood also reads the upcoming meetup calendar, highlighting events in Philadelphia, Milwaukee, Guatemala, Iowa, and a unique gathering hosted by Gordon White in Wellington, New Zealand. He encourages listeners to organize their own local events via the Higherside Meetups website.

During a January 2020 scouting mission, Trey Hudson experienced a profound spatial disorientation event similar to cases documented by David Paulides in the Missing 411 series. Despite being an experienced woodsman, Hudson believed he had crossed a creek into a new field, only to be told by his partner that he was standing in the original meadow. The event coincided with a radiation spike of 0.33 micro-sieverts per hour, significantly above the local baseline.

Greg Carlwood shares his personal thoughts on the interview, specifically addressing the friction caused by Trey Hudson's request for a non-disclosure agreement regarding the footage. Carlwood reflects on the rarity of portal sightings and the potential overlap between The Meadow's activity and David Paulides' Missing 411 research. He also highlights topics covered in the second hour of the show, including plasma theories and the transfer of ownership at Skinwalker Ranch.

The discussion touches on the theories of John Keel and Carl Jung regarding the interplay between the observer's subconscious and paranormal phenomena. Greg Carlwood suggests that some sightings, including those related to the Missing 411 cases, might involve sentient plasmas that shape-shift based on the religious or cultural predispositions of the witness.

In 1978, college student Stephen Kubacki disappeared while skiing near Lake Michigan, leaving only footprints that ended abruptly on the ice. He reappeared 14 months later in Pittsfield, Massachusetts, wearing new clothes and having no memory of the intervening time. Kubacki later became a psychiatrist and authored a complex book, "God, Man, and Existence," filled with mathematical equations.

The discussion shifts to the presence of interdimensional entities in the United States, drawing parallels between Amazonian spirits and the Missing 411 phenomena documented by David Paulides. While magic and mysticism are more overt in Peru, similar energies are present in American national parks like Yosemite. Phoenix Aurelius mentions his attempts to organize alchemy retreats in the Amazon, noting the difficulty Westerners face in finding time for immersive 14-day studies.

David Paulides returns to the program to discuss his extensive research into mysterious disappearances in the wilderness, documented through the Missing 411 book series and films. Paulides, a former law enforcement officer and director of the Can-Am Missing Project, has chronicled over 1,200 cases across 59 clusters. The discussion highlights the strange profile points of these cases and the adversarial relationship between Paulides and the National Park Service regarding missing person records.

The initial Missing 411 research focused heavily on children under ten who disappeared instantly and were often found miles away in locations physically impossible for them to reach. Paulides discusses how these children are sometimes found on previously searched paths, occasionally missing clothing or shoes. The first Missing 411 film highlighted these cases to demonstrate to parents and the public that these events defy normal expectations of child behavior and physical capability.

The second film, Missing 411: The Hunted, shifts focus to experienced hunters who disappear despite their familiarity with the wilderness and possession of firearms. Paulides observes that archery hunters disappear at a higher per capita rate than those with firearms, though even armed hunters rarely fire a shot to signal for help. The absence of struggle, blood, or discarded equipment distinguishes these cases from animal predation, where evidence is typically gruesome and easy to locate.

The discussion explores the Western loss of connection to the land, contrasting it with Thai practices that explain mysterious disappearances in nature as the work of unplacated spirits. Janks expresses a desire to document the construction and blessing of a spirit house to help Westerners resurrect these lost skills. He suggests that reintegrating these ancient systems could improve the modern relationship with the natural world.

A witness in eastern Tennessee claims that a race of "little people" on his land warned him about predatory ETs called "The Dominators." These beings, described as a cross between reptilians and dinosaurs, allegedly view Earth as a "farm" and consume humans, particularly children. This theory is proposed as a potential explanation for the high number of unexplained disappearances in national parks documented by David Paulides.

David Paulides' "Missing 411" research into mysterious disappearances in national parks often features victims found near berry bushes, a potential link to the food-offering motif. Joshua Cutchin also discusses the "trickster" archetype in modern media, citing the film Deadpool as a rare example of a true trickster protagonist. These themes of disappearance and deception connect ancient folklore to modern investigative research and pop culture.

The discussion touches on David Paulides' "Missing 411" work regarding mysterious disappearances in National Parks. Johnson suggests that "furry people" (Bigfoot) might be responsible for moving bodies back to trails after searchers have already cleared an area.

Phillips discusses the correlation between clusters of mysterious disappearances documented by David Paulides and the locations of known underground bases. He references his article for Paranoia Magazine regarding "batch consignments," suggesting that missing persons might be taken for testing or labor. He notes that even when people are found, they often have no memory of the intervening time.

Host Greg Carlwood introduces David Paulides and his Missing 411 research series, which documents thousands of unexplained disappearances in national parks and remote areas. The discussion contrasts these cases with typical conspiracy theories by highlighting the abundance of victims and evidence despite a lack of logical explanations. Paulides' background in law enforcement and his four-volume book series serve as the foundation for exploring these global phenomena.

The research focuses on a specific profile of disappearances that excludes mundane causes like animal attacks, mental health issues, or drownings. Paulides identifies 52 geographic clusters in North America where these strange disappearances occur, with Yosemite National Park being the largest cluster in the world. The data suggests these patterns have persisted for over a century and extend to other regions, including Australia.
