I don't know if I'm posting this in the right category but anyway I was wondering if there have been any unexplained disappearances of people or things lately. I know that there have been in the past but I was wondering about lately. Sometimes ships disappear, people, things and etc?

I wish planet earth won't disappear.

like bermuda triangle ? or alien abduction ?
i read somewhere pets cats are mysteriously disappear.
many people disappeared everyday, especially in third world nation.if you know what i mean.
but nothing cryptid with it

hmmm well....
my icy cold heart dissapeared for a week. but it slapped me right in the face 2day, so it came back, now all i feel is numbness....
does that count???

Actually i would rather not introduce that website to anyone. Moving along. Sorry.

I've had several friends disappear. Some of my close family has disappeared too. In fact, I had two dogs and they disappeared. And I almost disappeared, but somebody grabbed me by the hand and jerked me back up here. It does get a little hot up here though. Makes you think you're down there somewhere. Yeah, I keep seeing those pet cats though.

....Wow...uh...I tell ya what...uh...wow. Should I even ASK where you are right now?

where is up here and down there?

*starts singing a Led Zeppelin song*

There were some friends sailing together earlier this year near Australia. They found the boat but not the men. They vanished. There was a search, but they were not found. I don't think there was a storm while they were out, so their disappearance was strange.

Yeah, I know what you mean...14 and counting...

The story behind disappeared people is that they lose their memory and wonder away from their home looking for something familiar. Then they probably get lost.

Actually this isn't uncommon. People who boat/sail without knowing what they are doing commonly go missing. I think there is something like two or three of these reports a year. Some come from huge lakes and some come from the ocean.

And as people going missing on land, nothing new. But greggK, unless that answer was sarcastic, you might want to have someone (like the police) look into that.

EDIT: and Vincent, people don't just loose their memory; memory storage and recovery is much more complicated than that. The most common reasons for disappearing are murder, kidnapping, or simply getting lost and dieing of exposure.

its hard to find bodies in middle of sea, especially when lots of shark like in Australia.

Sometimes I wake up with no memory of what happened the night before, and all my money is missing.

hello
you might want to check out this site its about all the unexplained disspearances
it might be of interest to you ????

No way....i thought i was the only one, happened to me this morning

uh... me too.... *rubs head*

Oh, you've been to Tijuana to, huh?

this thread blows.

somebody ad something serious.

Yes, stop using serious threads for joking! If you joked some of the time and actually worked it into a serious response, then it would be fine. But just plain gabbing is unwanted.

that's humans for you.

But to add some thing serious there have been people who have disappered mysteriously in texas

I kinda know why people treat this thread of you as a joke Vincent,
first of all, if you want to know people disappear and I'm talking about REAL disappearance, go to the cops, don't go this forum. Second of all, you did not describe why do you asking for recently missing people. This is wrong, you ask because you have a reason and you should include that reason, esepcially when you're on the net and not directly talking to people. Try to get all that straight first, then we might...I say we MIGHT be interested enough in helping you out.

The intelligent reptilian creatures mankind has acknowledged for over 5,000 years as dragons, are still with us, and responsible for certainly hundreds, and possibly thousands of disappearances each year, particularly in third world nations with poor investigative abilities and much rugged terrain. These dragons are responsible for most of the so called lake monster, sea serpent, thunderbird, pterodactyle and dinosaur type sightings, but becasue modern people think these are dumb animals they are searching for, they quickly dismiss them as hoaxes when they are not quickly found, such as "Nessie" after sonor scanning the Loch, with the scientists blissfully ignorant these creatures can leave the water, and even fly, if necessary.

Why would they take people? I can think of one reason but there maybe other reasons

Texas is large and covered a good deal by desert and/or rugged terrain. Of course people will go missing; these people either get murdered (because some of the cities can get pretty rough) or they go hiking in the desert without proper equipment or knowledge. As a matter of fact, this explains most of the disappearances in the US. And I'm not joking. If you're looking for a supernatural explanation, I'm sorry, but this is the general truth. Maybe one or two disappearances may be attributed to the supernatural. But the majority can't be.

One possible reason is simply that they might have been hungry.

If such creatures were intelligent, it might be to forestall any attack that discovery might precipitate.

It is a sad thing, but in much of the world, a kill-or-be killed environment exists. Such creatures would surely be hunted down and destroyed in most of world, and the likelihood increases if they are not threatening (as it would be easier to do). History is replete with predators that are easily hunted down and exterminated by local peoples, even ones that were not harming anyone. The famous killers, like Gustave the crocodile, and the lions of Tsavo, survive years of being actively hunted, probably because they tend to drive the locals out of the area and disrupt things. A killer bear would not passivly let a hunter set up a shooting blind (he would be attacked) the way a non-dangerous one would.

Thus, word of doom to a would-be photographer of intelligent cryptids might well be: "Smile! You're on UM Camera!"

maybe they (missing people) are follower. they've been taken to higher place. or just become pets for dinner

I agree that most disapperances are becouse of human cruilty or stupiduty, but there are a few that I know for a fact that have a supernatural cause

the people were eaten is the main reason that pops into my mind

Please enlighten us.

Well a friend of mine who lives in texas has told me about strange dissapperances down there

*

The Goatman got them

um, no. Actually what's behind some of those dissapperances is more canine and doesn't eat it's prey in a physical sense

I don't know why you're trying to belittle my intelligence, Capo, for I did not start this thread. Yes, I know this thread was a joke when it started.

more details...

if that's what you want, but chances are you won't beleave but why should I care.

According to my friend what is behind a few of the dissapperances, about 5 or 6, is a kitsune that eats their souls

Yes, in South Texas there have been a lot of "pterodactyl" sightings, but they are really dragons, of course. Everyone knows pterodactyls are extinct.

That, and as Arch correctly stated, if they saw you take a picture you would be doomed, and even if not hungry, consuming the body would be the most efficient way of eliminating any trace of a crime. Do not forget that for thousands of years our ancestors consistently recorded that dragons were wiser than humans.

The number of just the reported cases of people vanishing is staggering, and they are probably ten times that at least in places where there are no records kept.

I'm not sure we can say that.

If one believes in some of this stuff, then one can't dismiss out of hand the possibility. In Central America, the chuppacabra makes people disappear all the time according to local legends.

As for dogs and cats...people seeking animals for laboratories steal pets all the time. Moreover, with the increase of populations of natural predators such as cougar, coyote, fox, etc. in the lower 48 (and they are increasing markedly for a number of reasons) pets are disappearing all the time, as well.

Interesting that is should be a fox-spirit because many foxes can be attributed to cat disappearances, too. But what confounds me is that in Japanese lore they were never known to "eat souls." Some were said to feed off souls like incubi/succubi, but never "eat" souls. They were mischievous not deadly, as this quote from wiki says:

So it seems like the worst a kitsune could do is feed off life energy or posses a human.

EDIT: You would think that my grammer/spelling would be a little better than it is seeing as English is my native language.

That is in japan, even though the word kitsune is japanese there are stories of foxes in china and korea, the korean versions actually do eat people, usually their bodies but then again who's to say there aren't kitsune who actually will eat your soul

oh, and don't worry about your spelling, english is the hardest language

One of that 'third world nations' would be my country. So you're saying that we should've put the blame of missing people to the dragons instead of the dictactors? Well, I'll propose it to the UNHCR and let them tell me what's in their mind.

Oh, sorry Vincent, I wasn't talking to you actually, I forgot to put the word "OP" on my statement, thus I'm actually addressing the original poster. Sorry once again.

Hey OP, you REALLY REALLY think that kitsune done this? When did this started? After Naruto became famous in the US? Seriously man, the Japanese Kitsune didn't eat their victims wholly, they feed upon their fear and tragic times. However, any victims of the Kitsune will be physically intact! However, this kitsune and another creature, called tanuki (you'll notice it in Naruto, it's Gaara's protector, as he's a Jinchuuriki), that may lead people astray whenever they enter the woods with the tanuki or kitsune in it. But trust me as I was raised in a Japanese family, these animals' powers were simply folklore and it was never happen. they put the blame on these creature because it's easier to do so, than admitting you've forgot your map while travelling through the wods and you got lost...

first off if you read carefully you'll notice I said the Koren version feeds on the body

second off, I'm not saying every disapperance is becouse of the kitsune, just that the ones my friend told me about. Though as I said earlier I know that most people wouldn't beleave me but hay, it doesn't bother me. I know what my friend has told me is fact

Well, if it's Korean, then you shouldn't start calling it a 'kitsune' don't make a generalization, even if we're both yellow skinned and almond eyed, Japanese isn't Korean. And that goes also for our animals and folklores!

In Chinese folklores however, there is a fox called Hui Li Jing. This fox may lure men away from their wives. Perhaps this is the cause? Are those that disappear in Texas mostly men?

I'm going to ask you to write down your friends' story, as you believed so much on it. Please write in detail. This might convince other users too that Kitsune exist in Texas, maybe even you'll convince me.

Even though if you're in Texas, you better call it 'Fox' instead of Kitsune, which is not a common Texan or English word after all

I realize that it's a generaazation, and I just used the word becouse the korean name is so difficult to say

Well I don't live in texas, I'm actually on the other side of the country. But my friend she does live in texas and I'll do one better, I'll let you ask her your self. I'll just warn you, things will get weird

aiglehart@gmail.com

ok, missing people with political background = goverment conspiracy
and missing people in desert, forest, swamp, etc = dragon/ reptil ? i don't think dragon is behind all disappearances. maybe they eaten by other crypt, wild animal, or just get lost.

and never heard of chupa eat human

I've heard about people who've been biten by a chupa but that's about it

Yep, generally the chuppies just suck blood as their name implies, and to my knowledge have never killed a human.

Okay, can you give me an article about this Korean fox-demon thing? And you don't have to say the name, this is a forum where you TYPE the name of the creature...easy "copy - paste" process will do.

I won't email someone for the things I'm not acquainted with. Can you give me some preview of what happened instead of saying that "things'll get weird, the story is hard to believe bla bla bla...?" Because I think when someone I don't really know send an email to me asking peculiar things, sometimes I think that this is a form of spamming.So please, would you enlighten me on this?
