Vanished: Unexplained Disappearances and Anomalies from North America’s Deepest Wilderness

Rate this book
They stepped into the wilderness. Some were never seen again. Others returned—changed.

Every year, people go missing in North America’s most remote forests. Most are found. Some are not. And a rare few come back with stories that don’t add up—stories of strange silence, missing time, or lights in the trees.

Vanished is not a work of fiction. It’s a grounded investigation by field researcher Timothy D., who has spent years tracking real disappearances in backcountry terrain—many of which defy logic, behavior models, and traditional search and rescue outcomes.

Through case files, firsthand interviews, SAR records, and field notes, this book

Disappearances in remote parks and crown land

Survivors who report missing time and strange sensations

Equipment and footprints found in impossible places

Clusters of cases in areas with strange environmental effects

Why the most experienced hikers and hunters still go missing

From Ontario’s deep boreal forests to the mountains of Colorado, the Olympic Peninsula, and Alaska’s backcountry, these stories are drawn from verifiable reports—but they raise questions that science has yet to answer.

Some key themes

Gear left behind in pristine condition

No scent trail for dogs to follow

SAR teams finding people in previously cleared zones

Weather anomalies that interfere with rescue

Memory gaps and psychological “voids” described by returnees


If you’ve ever felt watched while walking a remote trail… this book is for you.

If you’ve ever studied the patterns and asked, “Why are some never found?”… this is your trailhead.

And if you’ve ever wondered what the wilderness keeps hidden — you’re not alone.
