Why People Are Disappearing from This Little Town in Alaska?

Welcome to know a small town located in

the south of Seward Peninsula on the

west coast of Alaska if you live here

I'll bet you say there's no place like

gnome well maybe not it's cold and snowy

here and no roads connect this town with

other settlements and with the onset of

night locals have disappeared Here

Without a Trace perhaps that's why only

3 500 people live here well let's

investigate this case

people disappear in cities for assorted

reasons but it was known who attracted

the attention of the public from 1960 to

2004 some 24 people went missing there

that number is statistically too big for

such a small population people just

didn't come home in the morning and no

one knew what had happened to them

all the locals in small towns like gnome

know each other there are almost no

strangers here as it's difficult to get

to know there are no roads and no Ferry

Crossing all roads from gnome break off

and lead to beautiful natural landscapes

unspoiled by human mammals you can get

there and back by plane and this is not

some passenger jet but a small biplane

another way to get there is by

snowmobile by the way gnome is the

ultimate point of the famous dog sled

race the Iditarod

also you can pay locals from neighboring

Villages and towns to bring you to gnome

by motorboat

the whole world found out about gnome

and in 2009 Hollywood even made a movie

about it for a long time no one could

solve the mystery the police had no

clues no Witnesses nothing there are

Long Cold Nights here in Winter and the

air becomes so cold that a glass of

water freezes in minutes snow can fall

constantly therefore if someone leaves

the town at night snow will Sweep All

traces Away by the morning

of course people began to come up with

their own theories the most popular one

was about someone who took people away

by force

the police didn't find any evidence that

some person could do it so if it's not a

human it could be some beast and again

police found no evidence to support this

version after that people started

thinking that creatures from other

planets caused these disappearances many

locals were sure that the town was a

popular destination for extraterrestrial

spaceships the plot of the Hollywood

movie The Fourth Kind was based on this

version more time passed finally the

police and the FBI launched a

large-scale investigation and they

uncovered the truth they realized that

the stories about missing people were

exaggerated the popularity of gnome and

the constant talk about fantastic things

made people believe in the reality of

these versions now let's assume that

some of the appearances were made up but

still many people are gone what about

them the answer is bars and harsh

weather entertainment venues are open at

night some locals have fun leave the bar

and go home at this moment a heavy

snowstorm begins visibility drops to

zero and the strong wind knocks you down

this way a person might simply get lost

and that's it the truth turned out

Stranger than most versions

the Bermuda Triangle is a big area in

the Atlantic Ocean so The Disappearance

of ships and planes there seems not so

surprising but it's much creepier when

it happens on a lathe let's visit the

Lake Michigan Triangle it's located

between Michigan and Wisconsin for a

couple of centuries terrible things have

been happening here people put the same

Legends around this place as around the

Bermuda Triangle they reported

unexplained phenomena and saw flying

objects above the lake surface some

believe that the triangle is a time

portal of course no theories have been

confirmed but strange cases have

occurred on the triangle territory what

happened in 1950 when a Northwest

Airlines plane with 108 passengers

disappeared Without a Trace during a

flight over the lake police officers saw

a red light over the lake two hours

after the plane last communication the

aircraft probably crashed but Rescuers

didn't find any passengers a wreckage

all that's left was just an oil stain on

the water many ships and boats

disappeared there but one of the

strangest cases occurred on April 28

1937. it was midnight one ship was

sailing through this Lake Captain George

Donner went to sleep in his cabin after

A Hard Day's Work three hours later The

Vessel was approaching the poor one of

the crew members went to the captain's

cabin to wake him up the door was locked

from the inside the assistant knocked

but no one answered when he suspected

that something had happened to the

captain the assistant unlocked the door

he got into the cabin but there was no

Captain there he seemed to have

disappeared Into Thin Air the crew

couldn't find it since then the Eerie

disappearance of Captain George Donner

remains unexplained

meet David politis in 2008 he finished

his career as a police officer and began

to study the mysterious disappearance of

people in Europe the USA and Canada

he found out that most people went

missing in the U.S national parks over

the past 150 years more than 1100

tourists have vanished there many of

them were experienced Travelers who knew

how to survive in harsh wild conditions

David has written about these mysterious

vanishings he pointed out that some of

them didn't disappear but were found

alive they woke up somewhere in the

forest and didn't remember what had

happened to them the creepy detail of

all these cases is that most missing

persons were young another detail is

that many went missing before hurricanes

there are too many riddles and not

enough answers in this case

then there's the sargasso sea in the

northern part of the Atlantic Ocean this

is the only sea that doesn't have Shores

on land it's called The Sea only because

it's defined by ocean currents also

golden brown algae grow in this area's

bottom making it seem like an orange

spot in the middle of the Endless Ocean

the sargasso sea became famous because

in the 19th century one of the most

famous Phantom ships in history sailed

here

in 1872 a Brigantine sailed through the

sargasso sea its Captain spotted another

ship a few miles away he lit a signal

fire but received no response then the

captain decided to sail closer to find

out what had happened on the hull of the

mysterious ship was the name Mary

Celeste the captain of the Brigantine

and several crew members went on board

they walked around the deck and looked

into the cabins and the hole everything

was in place but there were no people

the cargo and barrels remained untouched

so Pirates didn't attack the vessel the

only damage thing on the ship were the

sails they were torn to shreds all

documents except the log book were

missing from the Navigator's cabin the

last logbook entry was added on November

24

1872. the crew of the ship was never

found and this was one of many cases

in the 20th century from the 60s to the

80s there were many reports of empty

boats and Yachts floating on the sea

also some entire ships disappeared

Without a Trace all these cases still

remain a mystery according to one

version the four-sided current forms

water funnels whirlpools can quickly

pull a ship into the depth of the sea

this explains The Disappearance of boats

but what about cases when the vessel is

still on the water without a crew

sometimes these whirlpools can create

wind vortices they're like little

tornadoes what if these whirlwinds are

powerful enough to throw people

overboard and tear the sails yeah the

theory seems too fantastic so what do

you think happened

that's it for today so hey if you

pacified your curiosity then give the

video a like and share it with your

friends or if you want more just click

side

The Mysterious Disappearances in the World's Oceans

While the Bermuda Triangle and the Lake Michigan Triangle have gained notoriety for their unexplained disappearances, they are not the only places in the world where ships and planes vanish without a trace. The Sargasso Sea, located in the northern part of the Atlantic Ocean, has also been the site of many mysterious disappearances dating back to the 19th century.

One of the most famous cases involved the Mary Celeste, a brigantine that sailed through the Sargasso Sea in 1872. The ship's captain spotted another vessel a few miles away and decided to investigate. When he and his crew boarded the ship, they found everything in place but no people. The ship's crew was never found, and the case remains a mystery to this day.

In the 20th century, there were many reports of empty boats and yachts floating on the sea, and some entire ships disappeared without a trace. While some have speculated that the four-sided current in the Sargasso Sea creates water funnels and whirlpools that can quickly pull a ship into the depths of the sea, others believe that powerful wind vortices created by these whirlwinds could be responsible for throwing people overboard and tearing the sails.

But the Sargasso Sea is not the only place where ships and planes go missing. In the past 150 years, more than 1,100 tourists have vanished in U.S. national parks, many of them experienced travelers who knew how to survive in the wild. David Paulides, a former police officer, has studied these disappearances and found that most of the missing persons were young and many went missing before hurricanes.

While some of these cases have been solved, many remain a mystery. The world's oceans are vast and mysterious, and it is impossible to know what lies beneath their depths. But one thing is certain: the stories of disappearances and unexplained phenomena will continue to fascinate and intrigue us for years to come.
