It is indeed quite interesting to study what might have happened to real people who vanished without a trace.

However cases that are based on legends or stories fail to impress since there is no proof of the characters or events actually ever being real.
And in many real disappearances scary stuff is added later to a mysterious disappearance to make it more interesting or scary.

Willie…I beleive your talking about the Lost Colony of Roanoke Island, NC. But yeah, Sir Walter Raleigh established a colony on Roanoke Island that was run by Thomas (i think that was his name) Dare. They were low on supplies, so Dare left for England to go get the supplies, however, he couldn’t go back for several years due to the war between Spain and England. When he did come back, every single colonist had vanished. All they found was the word Croatoan on a tree. Croatoan was an Inland up the coast of the outer banks where some friendly natives lived. Dare told them that if they left the colony, they should write where they are going on a post or a tree. It is beleived then that they went to live with the Croatoan Indians, however even to this day no one knows what happened to them. Also, the first English child born in the New World, Virginia Dare (granddaughter of Thomas), was born in the colony.

Number 10, “Oliver Larch”, is actually Charles Ashmore.The story was published in a book in the 1900s. Read the story here: http://anomalyinfo.com/articles/sa00010d.shtml under “Charles Ashmore’s Trail”.

Bathurst did disappear, but not into thin air. It was after dark, he went in the direction of the horses\’ heads, and then nothing further was heard of them. He didn\’t dematerialize in front of everyone. More than likely, he was lured away (possibly by one of the employees of the inn) and then murdered.

David Lang\’s story is a hoax. It was written in the 19th century as fiction, then seized upon as fact.

The theory about the disappearance of Martha Wright could easily hold up, but if she did get into another car, why didn\’t her husband notice the other car, or hear the door slam as she got in? And how in the world could she have managed to evade detection for more than 30 years?

Forgot to add-

All the disappearances involving kids have the same simple explanation.

Kidnapped, abused, killed, and buried in some remote location.
