On this episode of Expanded Perspectives, the boys start the show talking about all of the rain they've been getting, the cooler air, and Halloween. Then, back in April of 2008 a woman has a strange sighting of a 4.5-inch tall Cicada-looking man at the mall. Next, three adult friends are walking at night in Pleasant Hills, PA when they hear strange noises coming from a local park. Upon further examination, it turns out to be an 8-foot-tall Sasquatch! After the break, Kyle brings up some strange stories involving hunters, campers, and others who have had disturbing encounters while in the great outdoors. Why are there so many missing people in the forests of North America? In the United States alone, the staggering number of people who go missing each year, as reported by the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs), exceeds 200,000! Fortunately, a significant percentage, ranging between 89% and 92%, is eventually recovered, either alive or deceased. However, when it comes to disappearances in the wilderness, there is a notable lack of comprehensive tracking and data oversight by government agencies such as the Department of the Interior and the Department of Agriculture's US Forest Service. Is there something else more sinister that is going on in the woods? Could these accounts be mere misunderstandings or products of deranged imagination? The impact these encounters have had on those who lived through them is undeniable, leaving an indelible mark on their lives, one that they will carry with them for all time. Moreover, the unsettling reality of missing individuals in these remote areas cannot be dismissed as mere hallucinations. It is a tangible phenomenon, a grim fact that underscores the mysteries of the wilderness and leaves us with more questions than answers. All of this and more on this installment of Expanded Perspectives!
