"Dad's on a hunting trip, and he hasn't been home in a few days."

Between this and yesterday’s Wendigoon video, FBI isn’t getting good publicity rn

The woods being silent is a massive red flag to me. I hike in my local forest a lot and if I notice it's too quiet I GTFO immediately, that's a sure sign something big is nearby

9 years? Thats nothing. My dad went to the corner store and disappeared for my entire childhood.

The dog sits by the window everyday waiting for him 😢😢😢😢 that part melted my heart.

One note, Deer drives are normally a afternoon activity. You're trying to push them out of their daytime bedding areas. So this details makes 100% sense.

"Tom Messick went on a hunting trip with some friends, he was lastbseen at 10am, when they returned they found Tom was missing and searched for him. After a few hours, they called in park rangers at 7pm. Feel like going camping Scully?"

As someone from NY. Your first mistake was to stay in Albany. No one likes that City.

As someone who has done search and rescue for 14 years… occasionally on large searches… you can get a lot of people that happen to show up. I’ve seen Coast Guard, National Guard, US Military and federal agencies… the nearest Coast Guard station is 2 hours away, nearest military base 5 hours away and feds are 2 hours away. So maybe a Bored Fed that is passing through and just has nose trouble.

The forest being quiet at the time is creepy as hell. That usually isn't a good sign and often means there's something in the area that has spooked the wildlife.

If Tom did indeed intend to go out on his own terms, from my third-hand knowledge of him it doesn't sound like he would leave his family perpetually wondering what happened to him.

Nyaweh for giving a quick lesson on my people!! I'm Mohawk and Tuscarora and live in upstate NY. I recently found your channel and rlly appreciate the history lessons you add to the beginning of your videos. Few people know much of our culture and it makes me smile to see someone so dedicated to spread our history. Fun fact: The 6 nations aka the Haudenosaunee (most of us prefer to be referred to as the Haudenosaunee since 'Iroquois' is a French name given to us by colonizers) were joined by The Great Peace Maker. He joined each tribe to form the 6 nations and ended a long conflict. In Kanyen'kéha (the Mohawk language) we say "Skennen'kó:wa ken?" Which means 'Do you carry The Great Peace?' Referring back to how The Great Peace Maker brought peace and good to each tribe. As I had been taught, only the Oneida had sided with the US which caused better treatment from the US gov while the Tuscarora people were forced from their homes in North Carolina area to western New York in our own form of the well known Trail of Tears. My Mohawk ancestors come from Canada, so I can't speak on any US Mohawk lore since I'm not well familiarized with it.

not the supernatural intro im hooked already 💀

My theory on why so much Fed involvement , is that Tom served with one of the higher ups.

Aw..😕 it made me so sad,hearing Tom's wife describe how Tom's dog would sit in the window,all day,everyday,waiting for him to come home.

The SPN reference was noticed and is greatly appreciated lmao

37:29 That's my old man's plan. He was to go back out to the woods, and "pick a fight with a Grizzly Bear".

82 years old, only one good eye and half deaf. How far could he have gone? No body, clothes, weapon or equipment found. Surrounded by six other fellow hunters with active communication devices. What the hell happened to this guy?
