no it couldn’t be rabies. rabies doesn’t actually make you scared of water, but the person will have extreme pain and difficulty swallowing anything. so it’s something much worse than rabies….

The Offspring really go all dark with this new song

There are birds even in Florida that are known to take off with people's dogs. People in the neighborhoods these birds tend to live in are told explicitly not to leave their dogs unattended.

With his lack of non perverse personality I couldn’t imagine him having a grudge against him and I don’t think he could be able to “settle the score” since it isn’t in his perverse interest

The human kind probably

I think these would've been exactly what the First Nations would have described as thunderbirds. A lot of these places where people go missing were considered very "Off Limits" places for a lot of the tribes in the area as well. Mount Rainier being one of them. I guess it's not hard to see why.

Derek is creepy

There's also stories of a giant condor I've seen tales about. Picking children up right out of their front yards. I'd have been scared to death had I seen what you saw. Glad you're ok.

I remember doing stupid things when I was thirteen.

It is not something good, but it is something normal for teenagers.

Just ignore them, or laugh at them, but don't get mad, they could find it funnier. Just remember they're thirteen.

i didn't know this was my greatest fear until right now

This sounds sweet but might end badly. What kind of meat?

The point is that this wouldn't start or end with one nuclear family merging. It would keep splitting because you're no longer looking at a nuclear family. You're looking at an extended family who would progressively branch out. So, yes, maybe your brother is your first cousin but what if your second cousin gets on with a first generation? We would have to be assuming that only one subset of family members are reproducing with others of that one subset like cousins for example but it would be more complex than that because a second cousin (the child of two first cousins) could procreate with a first aunt or an original settler. Do you see what I mean? You can inbreed somewhat safely and that's why Papua new guinea has stable tribes. What if we consider a possible Hills Have Eyes/Roanoke theory? What if, instead of eating/cannibalizing hikers, we bring them into the family so to speak? Elderly, not so much, but children? Thats new breeding stock.

Deserved honestly

I don't really understand what you're saying here. Or how it differs from what I'm saying rather. I think you're looking at 'family' from a nuclear family perspective. Whereas in great depression era families it was very common for aunts and uncles and grandmothers and grandfathers to all be a part of the same household. This is what made tenement buildings so disgusting.

Cousins reproducing after one generation probably wouldn't have a major result at least physically, but the further you go the more messed up things get.

The most prevalent case of things like this occurring would be the "Blue family" of Kentucky.

but overall, There were several loopholes in the feral people theory that led me to dismiss the feral people theory. As I clearly stated in my account.

Who can say that a family unit of uncles and aunts like a multi-generational household (often seen during the great depression and to this day per certain cultures) weren't those who decided to go off the grid? Imagine you're dying of starvation and you have this idea that might make you suffer less, wouldn't you tell your brother? Your sister? Your cousin? I think the failure here is to disregard the fact that the US isn't an isolated island like say Papa New guinea. There's millions of people, even in smaller towns. Let's say it becomes like the trail of tears and many don't make it, we still would have tens to dozens who do, probably of different families. I can buy into the idea of feral people who became feral as a result of purposeful isolation, but not that we are saying only one immediate family unit is doing this.

Thank you for the pointing out of a typo. I had typed aliens twice, but it has been changed.

No, my theory is not feral people.

I've spent way more hours than I care to admit reading through his stuff. It is true that not every case can be attributed to this theory, but eagles are quick. They can easily move forty miles an hour, and swoop in at even faster speeds.

They're also ambush predators. They wait for exactly the right moment and strike when they know its safest.

and there are several cases where there is a "whooshing" sound that's heard before people are even aware their friends are missing. The case of Thomas Messick being the most notorious.

​

15-20ft is not a fair gauge of distance. When you consider that almost all of these cases involve the victim being well out of sight, mostly kids and elderly folk, who the people they were hiking with swear they only "Turned their backs for a minute." realistically that was probably more like 3-5 minutes, more than enough time for a large bird of prey to swoop in and snatch a small prey. You're not going to find a lot of blood as the result of talons plugging the wound they've created. Unless they kill their prey before they take off, but that's unlikely as it wouldn't be opportunistic of them to do so.

Literally 😂

We're not talking about first and second cousins in the case of feral people though. We're talking about first and second cousins also being your sister as well.

​

Mountain lions are known to split spinal chords and create puncture wounds in the skull, but we've also found skulls that are without a doubt the result of eagles carrying off people. The "Taung skull" being the most notorious. Even modern eagles today are known to attack livestock animals as big as 500lbs. We also know for a fact that very large eagles exsited, and would have existed alongside humans. The Haasts eagle and the Argentavis being two.

That was utterly bizarre, & I have so many questions…who IS she? And does she just want you to bankroll her creepy corpse town? Forever??
