Were do people who disappear go

But, how in the hell can 20 people, who went searching for the Hiker, just disappear too? You know damn well, that they didn't ALL "fall off a cliff" too! Someone should have made it back...

The guy that walked onto a snowy covered frozen lake, only to have his tracks suddenly stop in the middle of it...

The sea captain that disappeared from his cabin on his ship, which was completely locked and sealed from the inside...

The Mysterious Disappearance of Steven Kubacki, and his odd reappearance 15 months later.


Vanished into thin air

One of the strangest missing person case ever recorded in the USA is that of Steven Kubacki. Steven Kubacki went missing for 15 months without a trace. It is then claimed woke up in a field wearing strange clothes with no memory of the previous 15 months.

In February 1978, Steven, a student at the time learning German, went missing in the Michigan area, USA in an area known as The Lake Michigan Triangle

The Lake Michigan Triangle – sometimes referred to as the Michigan Triangle – spans from Manitowoc, Wisconsin, to Ludington, Michigan, and south to Benton Harbour... The triangle has accounted for numerous mysterious events, beginning in 1891, when a schooner named the Thomas Hume set off across Lake Michigan for lumber... The Hume disappeared, along with its crew of seven sailors. Not even a trace of the boat was ever found.

Before he went missing Steven said he was going to go skiing.

He was reported missing by his worried family a day after he was due to return from the trip.

After he went misssing search teams scouted the area he was known to have headed to – they found his skis and his poles on the beach of the Lake Michigan and footprints on the ice leading up to the lake.

Whilst searching for him the rescue crew flew over the area, and it was reported that his footprints appeared to stop at the edge of the ice. The ice was unbroken, and a search of the area revealed no clue as to what had happened to Steven.

Later that day they found his backpack in the same general area as his ski’s.

No other evidence or sign of Steven could be found – it appeared he had just vanished into thin air!



The return

May 5th 1979, 15 months later, Steven walked up to his father’s door, rang the bell and was surprised to discover he had been missing for so long. Steven said to his father that he didn’t remember much.

Steven had woken up in Pittsfield, 40 miles from his father’s house, lying in a meadow wearing clothes that weren’t his.

He had a small satchel beside him with maps, that weren’t his

Where he woke up was 700 miles from Lake Michigan.

Reporters asked him repeatedly if he would talk to someone. He said he didn’t need to, because he didn’t have any psychological problems and nothing to say about the time he was missing.

After 1983, Steven got a masters in linguistics, and a PhD in clinical psychology.

Disappearance of Captain Donner


The bizarre case of Captain George R. Donner is one of the more mysterious triangle cases.

On April 28, 1937, Captain Donner vanished from his cabin, after guiding his ship through icy waters.

The Captain went to his cabin to rest, and about three hours later, a crew member went to alert him that they were nearing the port.

The door was locked from the inside. The mate broke into the cabin, only to find it was empty.

A search turned up no clues, and Donner’s disappearance remains unsolved.

One of the most famous legends of the Brown Mountain Lights was of a plantation owner who was hunting in the mountains and got lost. His slaves came to look for him and were seen searching through the hills with lanterns. They never returned.


Another such legend is of a woman who disappeared around 1850, the general suspicion was that her husband had killed her. Almost everyone in the community joined the search for her and one dark night while the search was on the strange lights appeared on Brown Mountain. Some of the searchers thought that this was the dead woman's spirit come back to haunt her murderer and warn the searchers to stop looking for her body. The search ended without a trace of her body and a large group of searchers disappeared themselves.
