Top Comments of this video!! :3
These stories have really given me something like 'the creeps'. Being an old woman, I am seldom affected by stories, movies, interviews, & etc., but this episode has resonated with something deep in my psyche. I don't know why. But I can only imagine the horror and anguish of hearing your loved one begging for help but not able to see or find them, knowing they are somewhere you cannot reach them. I don't want to ponder on this for long, it is upsetting.

There is a very similar tale in Missing 411. A German mathematician/ cosmologist was on a trip in the southwestern US. He stopped along the highway to take a short hike to a sightseeing area and disappeared. A reporter came by the park ranger's office to interview him on the disappearance, but he was on the phone, so she decided to look around herself. While on the trail, she heard a man yelling for help, bit no matter where she went, she could not find him. She raced back to tell the park ranger. His face went pale. He said the exact same thing was witnessed by a search and rescue worker the prior day. No remains have ever been found on the short, flat, open trail.

Perhaps Charles Ashmore fell into a sinkhole. These are sometimes part of an underground cave network. Some of these are shallow enough that someone could potentially survive a fall after breaking through the thin limestone crust over the void. I've never been to Quincy, IL but looking at publicly available geological surveys, it seems that the western & southwestern portion of Illinois is riddled with them. If it was snowing heavily enough, the loose snow around a sinkhole could potentially collapse over the opening and cover it up right away...similar to the fairly common (and unfortunate) phenomenon of how a snowboarder/skier who fell into a tree well could be buried by the loose snow around the entry site. That may explain why his tracks seemed to end suddenly. If Charles survived the initial fall into a sinkhole, he may have then called out for help but the original hole was already covered. His voice could have penetrated through the snow either where he fell or maybe sound was carried through the underground cave network in such a way that the voice appeared to emerge from a nearby area to trick those on the surface as to its origin. His calls for help would have weakened over time until he ultimately died from cold/starvation.

regarding the ashmore case:
Pretty sure (based on the given information) that the boy somehow slipped/sunk into a cave system under the property, causing the dirt/snow to close the hole behind him.
It would explain his sudden disapearance, the cries for help comming from semingly random locations (echoing through the caves) and why they stopped a while later (he struggeled for several days before his death.)

For everyone thatās thinking theyāre somehow SAR experts, let me tell you as someone who has actually volunteered and has many friends that do that for a living.
You basically break down the entire area in at least a 10 mile radius into a grid. In that grid is 6-8 feet squares, usually that overlap on the borders so that way nothing is missed. They then cover that entire grid going up to down, and then left to right. You compare this with almost every SAR unit having dogs, air oversight, and forest rangers that have intimate knowledge of the areas.
Sinkholes as an answer is idiotic as sink holes in almost any terrain are completely obvious as they create a huge disturbance in the ground, and any fresh ground will be looked at with ground penetrating radar, and would be easily found by dogs.
Animal predation is a different story but ANY life or death struggle, animal on animal, or animal on human, will absolutely leave a disturbance. Blood, drag marks , ripped clothing, etc. Once again dogs are trained to smell animals as well. Most SAR missions can cover hundreds of square miles and people missing like this would not be able to cover the distances outside of the SAR zone by any type of normal means.
People talking about how these cases can be explained by lazy SAR or somehow missed have not worked in the forest nor have any real idea of the outdoors. Yes you can get lost, but believe me people leave trails WHEREVER they go.

I remember a famous Victorian case of this I read about years ago. A man was running being followed by his servants in his coach & horses, when he fell INTO the road and disappeared in front of their eyes. He didnāt fall into a hole- he fell and disappeared into the road- into the ground. No hole. Nothing. Just gone.

You should do a video about Reino Magico (Magic Kingdom). The legend is about an abandoned cemetery in Mexico that was converted into an amusement park. The park is cursed because some of the coffins weren't relocated and souls remain there haunting the ground from tragic deaths to statues coming to life.

the relatively big channels with big teams with all their income don't even provide custom visuals with their storytelling, unfortunately only simply googling and inserting or using the same old lame clips that everyone uses has become the norm. Thanks for not only providing great quality and novel content but also doing it while providing artists an opportunity for work. the whole package of audio and visuals is why this channel is the best in the storytelling category. Although channels like Ballen is enjoyable there are many like it, conversely their are only a very very few like yours.
