Bizarre Cases of People Who Spontaneously Ceased to Exist

Mysterious disappearances aren’t new....Yet, as bizarre as these cases may be, there seems to be an even stranger type of disappearance out there; people who vanish in full view of others, under circumstances where it seems impossible that they could have even gone far, let alone totally disappeared. These are the cases in which people were there one moment and gone the next, seeming to have just literally faded from existence, leaving us baffled and perhaps even questioning what we think we know about this mysterious world of ours. Let's take a look at the history of some of the more curious accounts of these spontaneous vanishings of people who by all indications seemed to have just ceased to exist.

...

Sometimes, not only did the person disappear, but they did so right before the eyes of witnesses, literally fading away in plain sight... In 1815, at a Prussian prison at Weichselmunde, a prisoner by the name of Diderici was doing a 10-year sentence for assuming the identity of his dead employer by dressing up in his clothes and a wig and trying to withdraw a large amount of money after the man had died of a stroke. Allegedly, one day Diderici was being led through the exercise yard in chains in a line of other prisoners, when something very odd began to happen. According to other prisoners, Diderici began to literally fade away, his body gradually becoming transparent and immaterial until finally his empty manacles and chains clattered to the ground as baffled prisoners and prison guards looked on. An inquiry into the case would turn up nearly 30 eyewitness accounts from both convicts and guards that reported the exact same thing; that Diderici had become slowly invisible until he was simply not there anymore.

I live in the Pacific Northwest and have heard stories of people who live in the woods near here believing in BF because of incidents.

However, you’d think someone would get a photo...and they would leave footprints in the snow or dirt.

Probably mostly baloney but nevertheless interesting.

David Paulides is my favorite Coast to Coast AM quest. He has written books about people who have gone missing from U.S. National Parks and lately has been investigating people who vanish from urban areas.

i don’t know if Paulides stories are legit or not, he says he has the research and doesn’t speculate about missing persons but he tells great stories.

It’s a written article.

I skimmed it in a matter of minute.

Of course, stories of such baffling vanishings have continued into more modern times as well. In April of 1959, a man named Bruce Campbell.

Hmmm, Bruce Campbell, aka Ash Williams ... coincidence? Yeah, and maybe I'm a Chinese jet pilot.

Holes in the fabric of time—you take a wrong step and you slip permanently into the past or future timeline. It has happened historically where people have slipped into time and got out to tell the tale—some don’t make it back and may well be living in another time. You take a wrong turn and your in a world where Mitt Romney Won in 2012.

It happened to me. I saw someone’s death in a dream 3 weeks before it happened - a technicolor type dream that was most unusual. The next day I told my husband about it and then forgot about it. And then, 3 weeks later it happened.

I always wondered about the mechanism...how could I see something that hadn’t happened yet...and exactly how it happened - the person, the place, the circumstances.

This does happen, people warn about significant events before they happen, they get off an airplane because of a sense and then it crashes. So, I always thought that what happened to me was a hole in time - but why me? The guy spoke Italian, not English, I barely knew him.

All these years later I still have no clue how or why.
