Summary

Part One - Foreboding David Paulides, an ex-police office turned author believes something strange is going on in and around North American national parks, where hundreds of people go missing each year. He refers to this phenomenon as the missing 411. However, over the course of this episode, we will be examining a cross-section of his research which receives perhaps the least publicity and analysis, those of the near missing 411. Part Two – Missing Time In part one, we recounted several alleged eyewitness accounts from survivors of strange occurrences, which might otherwise have ensured their disappearance and/or demise. And whilst those accounts were certainly bizarre, each one was very different, with no single phenomenon to pinpoint exactly what is going on in North America’s national parks. In part two, we recount three more strange tales of the near missing 411.

publicity and analysis. Those of the near- missing 4-1-1. I'm going to do. So, It has now just been over a decade since David Pallidas first went public with his research

1:21.0

into the many unexplained disappearances which have occurred in North America's national parks.

1:27.0

His work is notable for the sense of mystery and downright eariness it exudes, as well as the way in which it

1:35.4

conveys the feelings of grief and loss experienced by the loved ones of those who have vanished.

1:43.0

Amongst the many examples he has cited,

1:46.0

it is commonly those cases in which little or no trace was ever found of the missing person,

1:51.0

which have received the highest degree of notoriety.

1:56.4

But his insistence, unlike many others across his field, not to commit to any one definitive theory about what may be responsible for this tragic and recurring phenomenon is as ominous as it is frustrating.

There are, however, a number of cases identified during the course of his work involving

witnesses who was seemingly able to step back from the brink of disappearance. Otherwise unremarkable, salted the earth people, whose

extraordinary experiences have often been picked apart and ridiculed by their communities when they have been brave enough to come forward

disappearances which have occurred throughout the North American landscape.
