A lot of people have disappeared since September. Especially locally. Just POOF, gone.

Something odd is going on and no one can explain it.

So several years back (almost a decade now) a few close friends and neighbors decided to get together and create like a recreational events club. Basically to get together from time to time to play some games, sports, and go to events.

It became quite popular and it grew rapidly.

We eventually expanded into online gaming and online communities as well. Members were all local within the region. We joined a few sport leagues and whatnot. Sometimes we got together for drinks at a bar or patio. It was always fun.

Everything was great and fine, but something unusual started happening.

And we noticed it back last September.

Members were vanishing. Just suddenly poof, and gone without a trace or explanation.

We've had members come and go over the years, but they never just up and vanished. We'd always know why they were leaving (like new jobs and had to move, or simply lost interest, or didnt have any more free time, etc).

But in the last 5 months the trend of members just poof and gone has climbed dramatically.


And these are people we know in person, known for years. Hung out at their homes, they've been to our homes. We call and text each other.

Its really bizzare.

First it was a few members, then rapidly the number of vanished climbed.

Now its more than 40% in total are gone. Literally vanished. They never replied to texts or phone calls, their social media accounts disappeared (including all of their family members as well). We decided to go see them at their places to see if they were okay, and we get there ... the home is up for sale (and then sold quite quickly). Even the places they worked had no answers at all.

We started looking at local and regional obits to see did these people pass away or something, and no, none of them were in obits or mentioned in funeral home directories. A few in the group are part of the local PD and we asked them if there were any missing persons (if they could pull any info to see if anything happened) and they too came back with nothing at all.


I just dont understand how people can just vanish.

From period of Jan 2022 to now there were 36 that just went, poof, gone. No trace. Social media accounts gone. Phone and text numbers disconnected. Homes put up for sale and rapidly puchased. Family social media accounts gone too. None ever let anyone know where they went, why they left, nothing. Just silence.



What prompted this post is that my brother was talking to a guy who ran a general contracting business locally. And the owner was complaining how he was having a hard time finding reliable workers he could hire because the guys would just stop showing up one day. They didnt quit. They simply stopped showing up. Never pciked up their phones, never answered texts.

So its really bizzare.


Anyone hear of anything like this before in their area????
