Do you think the energy released by earthquakes is related to these disappearances?
If that energy is strong enough to vibrate and create sound, even an undetectable one, could that resulting sonic vibration temporarily disrupt the normal flow of space/time?

I know absolutely nothing about sound being related to disappearances, claim ignorance on that!!

Amazing AMA !! I was really unaware of this fact that so many people go missing in the woods...just wow...

Thank you Mr Paulides for sharing well...quite frankly...some heavy duty scary stuff !! I am the type to go on strolls in the woods, National Parks or otherwise, alone and unarmed.

Never really thought of the danger - except for bears that is.

Staying urnarmed (Canada and not a hunter), what would be your recommendations for future excursions?

I understood the "not alone part" , the "transponder part" and the "start praying if an incident happens part" but any other advice?

Thank you Sir. Great thread !!!
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Personally, I would never go into any woods unarmed.
You noted some of the other issues.
The last, don't go into the woods when there is any threat of bad weather.

All the best..

Hello David!

First and foremost thank you for your time spent on ATS! Your knowledge and this thread has got me hooked!

Q. Has there been any evidence or idea tossed around that these disappearances could be the result of someone self conscious awakening or being "activated" for the lack of a better word. Almost like a zombie state or hypnosis like. And if so what do you think could be the trigger of this remote control of the missing.

Let’s take a closer look at this DeNovo Journal.

It is accessed via www.advancedsciencefoundation.org.... It’s a fairly simple site with a landing page that says: DeNovo Accelerating Science. When you click on the “Contact” Tab you have to page down where you enter name, etc. and what you want to talk about. At the bottom is the phrase “© DeVono Scientific Publishing”

So which is it? DeNovo or DeVono? They don’t know how to spell their own name. So let’s go a little further. Below that they list an ISSN, which is an International Standard Serial Number. It’s ISSN 2326-2869. When you look THAT up in WorldCat, which is a worldwide database of books and magazines, you find out is published in Big Rapids, Michigan by Advanced Science Publishing. There is no listing for such an organization in Big Rapids directories. Once again, no libraries in the entire world have holdings because it is an online publication only. According to a review posted at WorldCat:


According to the author (of the only paper in the first issue) herself, this amateurish journal/website was put up hurriedly to publish a paper (claiming to prove the existence of bigfoot/sasquatch by means of DNA evidence), which had been turned down by various publications over a period of some years. She claims that another journal (which had never published an issue) was going to publish it but backed out, so she bought that journal and changed its name to DeNovo. The article, which sold for $30, received (informally) very negative comments online from scientists in the field of genomics. Some time after going live, the website/journal began to offer peer-reviewed publication for up to $1500/manuscript.


www.worldcat.org...

I could find no reference to the $1500 on the site today, but understand what this fellow is saying. DeNovo, the journal, was willing to “publish” a scientific paper “with peer review” (for which they advertised for the peers) if the author paid them $1500. This is not the only place to do this. There are other publications that charge a “per page” fee for publication, a practice widely condemned in academia as pseudo-academic. It’s a scam, really, that preys on the “publish or perish” fears of assistant professors without tenure. Here’s a good article on the practice: www.nytimes.com...

So we have “Advanced Science Foundation,” “Advanced Science Publishing,” and DeNovo Scientific Publishing.com.

Advance Science Foundation
+ No Listing in the IRS Data on US non profit organizations. This lists all organization that have applied for and/or received IRS 501c3 status as a non profit organization.

+ No Listing in Associations Unlimited. This is the main library reference source for foundations and associations, the first reference source a librarian would consult when tracking down an organization

+No Listing in Foundation Directory Online, a pay-to-use compilation of foundations in the US.

Advanced Science Publishing
+ No listing in Reference USA, which is a nationwide listing of all businesses and residences. We’re assuming “Publishing” refers to some sort of business here.

DeNovo Scientific Publishing
+ Quite a few pages of companies that have the name DeNovo in Reference USA, from cafes to spas, but none that would indicate any sort of publishing and none in Michigan.

+ There is a Whois entry is protected by a privacy screen so you cannot tell who the owner is, but the domain itself is “unfinished.” It takes you to a “you are almost done!” page which gives directions to the domain owner on how to complete connection of the domain name to WIX which is an online “cloud based” web site builder that allows amateurs to build a web site using “drag and drop” tools. In other words, the domain has never been actually published.

So what has happened here, really? Ms. Ketchum failed to pass peer review for any existing publication, so first she got help to create a “journal” called JAMEZ through Scholastica which is an online “open source” site dedicated to circumventing the pseudo-academic “pay to publish” scenario listed above and, indeed, all academic journals. JAMEZ never published a single issue or article.

When that fell through Ketchum started up DeNovo by buying a couple of domains and getting a (entirely free) ISSN from the Library of Congress Copyright Office. With that she was in business, though rather sloppily. There is no “Advanced Science Publishing” company anywhere. It’s bogus. There is an “Advanced Science Foundation,” but it is a domain only. It isn’t real in the sense that it is registered with the IRS as a foundation or in any other recognized source. It doesn’t pay taxes, doesn’t have a phone or an address, doesn’t even have an email address. Similarly, DeNovo Scientific Publishing is a registered domain, but does not have a working web site at all.

Ketchum failed to get her paper published anywhere, so she decided to publish it herself on her own site, and disguise its origins and make the site appear as if it were a legitimate scientific journal fully cognizant of “peer review.”

Now she’s pointing to this saying, in effect, “See? I’m published in a peer-reviewed journal!” No, she is not. It's all smoke and mirrors. It's fake, and not even a very good fake. There are so many loose ends and flaws in this scheme that it is embarrassing. Neither DeNovo, DeVono, DeNovo Publishing, Advanced Science Publishing, or Advance Science Foundation have any academic standing whatsoever. To continue to insist this is real is simply delusional. And that's really sad. It's like continuing to believe in Billy Meier's alien ray gun even after it has been proven to be a plastic toy available on eBay.

I'll try to be as patient as possible, but this strategy has been used too many times, its old and not innovative.
I sincerely doubt this person read the paper or, if they understood the science....

**If you can't attack the white paper (science), attack something on its periphery.
Again, no mention of bad science.
No mention that all 8 Phd's are wrong on their strategies and testing.
No mention that 10+ labs, including a university lab all came to the same result.
No mention that every other DNA test ever completed on a bgft sample came back human based.
No mention that not one university was willing to tackle this topic until Dr. Ketchum and her team did something that was revolutionary, extract the DNA at a nuclear level of a bgft sample where it HAD NEVER been done before.

If you want truthful, non-hyped and a sensitive response to the issues drawn above, go to this site:bf-field-journal.blogspot.com...

There is a reason why mainstream journals lied to Dr. Ketchum, yes they lied. The emails are on the site I noted.
The journals never found an issue with the science and testing-NONE.
Please go to that site, go deep and read about the issues Dr. Ketchum faced, it was truly unbelievable.

All the best.

Thanks for the question.
I have never heard of this theory or had it brought up in any meeting.

Thanks for the contact!

Hi David, One case in particular always stuck with me. It was the hunter they found across the lake from his camp where I believe they found his skull only. His pants were folded and the belt was rolled up and placed upon the pants.

In the realm of your research, could it be possible that people are being eaten by whatever is taking them? I am not alluding to animals such as bear either.

Thanks you

I heard you mention in an interview strange incidents or reports from/about people in fire watch towers - could you elaborate on what people have reported/experienced? Thanks again!

Yes,thanks...I ought to have made clear the link was proffered for those who have not read the analysis etc...it`s a fairly easy read and comprehensible for those with queries...I have to say,you are very patient with your answers etc.

Keep up the good fight.

There is a 70+ year old woman that worked a fire lookout for many years. One day she didn't check in.
It is a very lonely road with a single destination that gets you to the tower.
Stop here for a second, criminals always like escape routes and don't like to be seen. The idea that a criminal drove this road up and back and could be seen by anyone visiting the lookout, and thus allowing law enforcement to get tread marks from their car, does not seem reasonable or prudent.
Back to the story.
Supervisors went to the lookout and found the woman and her bed blanket both missing.
There was a 2 week search with Bloodhouds and helicopters and planes with FLIR. The dogs never picked up a scent and the aircrafts never saw anything with FLIR.
The woman has never been found.
A very, very strange case.

Hi David. My kids and I love this topic. I just had one question: What percentage of disappearances do you think could be attributed to serial killers, which themselves are a mystery? Or at least, do you believe some of these disappearances can be linked to serial killers?

Sir,

Have you investigated any members of the U.S. Military gone missing during a training mission as per the outline of your books?

Without being too specific, in my type of work we do 4-5 man squad recon training missions and many times we spread out by ourselves deep in the woods, we will post one man security and stay several days at a time. We are armed but with blanks, to simulate the weight, and we don't carry personal locators. Many U.S military bases have thousands of square miles of woods and are usually not inhabited by civilians. Any clusters in which include military bases?

Thank you, I'm on my way to ordering your books.

Never have investigated a missing person while on duty in the military.

We have several cases on military institutions where children vanished and were later found under very, very strange circumstances....

Thanks for asking.

If we can loosely tie the case to a possible human predator, it's excluded.

Hi David. Welcome to ATS.

If bigfoot is found and validated to be real. What do you think would be the greatest implication of such a discovery to our race? and is that the reason he still "hasn't been found"??

reply to post by DavidPaulides


Hello and thank-you for sharing this knowledge with your brothers and sisters.

It would be interesting if you correlated these missing persons with events and places.

For instance how many people disappeared near the Bohemian Grove Area? (I hope you are familiar with this)
Or how many people went missing near the G8 or G20 meeting which was hosted in Northern Canada.
Is there any links to places where rich people gather and the missing people? Have you done any statistical analysis and if so what?

Personally, I believe quite a few missing people come from the corrupt consciousness of people that have so much money that they loose their moral and ethical compass. After one has enough money to satisfy every thrill one could imagine, whats left for the next thrill, when what money buys doesn't do it any more?

Thanks again for sharing with us my friend.

Hi David. Thank you for an excellent AMA!

I've been trail-walking in the High Sierra many times, accompanied only by my 100-lb. dog. I always felt fairly safe doing so, but after reading your posts, now, I'm not so sure. Do you believe that a big guard dog is protection enough in lieu of a gun? Also, have there been any strange cases of people hiking with dogs going missing?

Congratulations, you have hit on one of the elements in many of the cases we've investigated,"People disappear with a canine." The number of people who have vanished with a dog is staggering. The cases are almost cookie cutter in type. Many times the canine comes back without the owner and the relatives will state that the dog would never leave the owners side....

The other issue with canines, in the vast, vast majority of these cases, the canine cannot pickup a scent or won't track. Sometimes they will be brought to the point last seen, they will walk in a circle and lay down, seemingly uninterested, sometimes almost scarred.

Canines and missing people is an issue we don't quite understand.

Great question!!!!!
