This was one of the eeriest things I've heard in ages. The stories of the piles of clothes left behind were really weird, reminds me of the Algernon Blackwood story "The Wendigo", as almost as if something had snatched them from the skies! Don't people who have hypothermia often discard their clothes? Perhaps there could be some form of disorientation with similar symptoms but brought on by something else?
The tales of wild people in the Smokey Mountains made me think of "The Hills Have Eyes" and all those back water horror movies, and the legend of Sawney Bean here in Scotland (which is a great tale but no truth it) but I guess it's feasible a bunch of people could live wild in the back woods?
 
For those who may have missed it, mr. paulides was on that "other" show again for the second time in three months. This time he went a LOT furthur towards fingering our old friend bigfoot in these disappearances. Well george knapp breached it, but david went along willingly. Don't know why he couldn't "out" bf on don's far superior show, but I think this tactic was probably choreographed (spl?) from the start. The talk did delve a little bit into skinwalkers and fairy folklore. What I thought was interesting regarding the later aspect was that whenever david mentioned the scenes where the disappearances took place many of them had a boundry or border aspect to it which is a often overlooked element in these issues, think of the robert johnson tale, or maybe that I was reading too much into it. Now I'll have to re-listen to his dmr appearance and his other appearance on c2c to see if that subject was ever discussed. For that matter what I didn't like was that for a former police investigator he was a little quick (in my opinion) to dismiss at least some of the cases that involved the removal of clothes as a symptom of dehydration/exposure, that is very a common occurance in missing people stories in the wilderness but if one is accepting of possible bigfoot abductions then his theory for the fact that a shoe or a boot (or both) is often found and when a body is found, and outside of signs of exposure the only sign of injuries is long vertical scratches gives me the hebbie-jeebies. I'm an avid hiker and have been to a handful of these places mentioned, it looks like in addition to my knife and bear spray I'm going to have to start carry something made of lead :D
