How can someone just go missing out of nowhere? Like a guy could

Once again OP's so called 'friends' ditch him.

lol,
but i'm being serious, its literally like these people fall out of the matrix.

>>18375279
lol

>>18375276
yeah this rarely happens and 90% of the time it's the "friends" lying to conceal either outright foul play or some other negligence. Some small amount of the time it'll be some kkind of mental break that leads a person to just high tail it and sometimes never be seen again

Then some small fraction of a fraction of a time it might be something extra normal. Think national parks. Think huckleberries.

Which people specifically? The vast majority of people who vanish vanish in the night when they're alone

>>18375284
I wouldnt be surprised if they went missing in a national park, those places are huge and potentially full of bad people at night.

>>18375292
Correct. The most likely "paranormal" explanation is wildmen which is only barely paranormal.

>>18375302
still kinda spooky, why are they there so late at night?

Spontaneous disappearance usually implies precise planning by an extraneous actor.

"In connection with this subject of 'mysterious disappearance' -- of which every memory is stored with abundant example -- it is pertinent to note the belief of Dr. Hern, of Leipsic; not by way of explanation, unless the reader may choose to take it so, but because of its intrinsic interest as a singular speculation. This distinguished scientist has expounded his views in a book entitled 'Verschwinden und Seine Theorie,' which has attracted some attention, 'particularly,' says one writer, 'among the followers of Hegel, and mathematicians who hold to the actual existence of a so-called non-Euclidean space -- that is to say, of space which has more dimensions than length, breadth, and thickness -- space in which it would be possible to tie a knot in an endless cord and to turn a rubber ball inside out without 'a solution of its continuity,' or in other words, 'without breaking or cracking it.'

"Dr. Hern believes that in the visible world there are void places -- vacua, and something more -- holes, as it were, through which animate and inanimate objects may fall into the invisible world and be seen and heard no more. The theory is something like this: Space is pervaded by luminiferous ether, which is a material thing -- as much a substance as air or water, though almost infinitely more attenuated. All force, all forms of energy must be propagated in this; every process must take place in it which takes place at all. But let us suppose that cavities exist in this otherwise universal medium, as caverns exist in the earth, or cells in a Swiss cheese. In such a cavity there would be absolutely nothing. It would be such a vacuum as cannot be artificially produced; for if we pump the air from a receiver there remains the luminiferous ether. Through one of these cavities light could not pass, for there would be nothing to bear it. Sound could not come from it; nothing could be felt in it. It would not have a single one of the conditions necessary to the action of any of our senses. In such a void, in short, nothing whatever could occur. Now, in the words of the writer before quoted -- the learned doctor himself nowhere puts it so concisely: 'A man inclosed in such a closet could neither see nor be seen; neither hear nor be heard; neither feel nor be felt; neither live nor die, for both life and death are processes which can take place only where there is force, and in empty space no force could exist.' Are these the awful conditions (some will ask) under which the friends of the lost are to think of them as existing, and doomed forever to exist?

99% of people who just "go missing" just go off the grid and travel or something. so then of course everyone that knows them files them missing and its not like the cops in ten towns over have their eyes peeled for this one fucking guy
or do you people actually think human beings fucking walk off the flat earth and disappear?

read "our haunted planet" by keel. he touches on it, and it's a good read in general
