I'm not surprised that the crow guided him. People don't give crows enough credit. They are incredibly intelligent. I made friends with a group of crows, when I was a security guard and sat in an empty shipyard for long, boring shifts. I fed them part of my lunch and once they trusted me enough, they found ways to communicate with me. They are truly amazing creatures

The crow that led the hunter to the body is so interesting, and it has so many fascinating implications. Crows will hold funerals for other crows. They gather the entire flock together to sit in silence around a dead crows remains. Clearly, the remains of dead crows hold deep emotional significance to other crows. What this means for the crow in the story, is that it not only saw the remains an recognized them as being human,. It also must have thought that human remains are important to other humans, just like crow remains are important to crows. Crows are animals that have been proven to show compassion and altruism to other animals. I think that when this crow saw the hunter, it must have figured "i bet humans will want to find these remains so they can properly grieve" and so it guided the hunter to that stump. The thought of an animal sympathizing with human grief is such a touching notion, I would really like to believe that that was the crows intention. Crows and other corvids are amazing animals!

It may also explain why the authorities kept the clothing and gave an unsatisfactory explanation, perhaps they would be reluctant to scare every mother around into never letting their toddler play outside, seeing as such things are extremely rare and every toddler should be able to play outside. As for why dogs would also go missing, well almost certainly their instinct would be to try and follow and dogs can get hurt and lost in the wild, too, especially if they were running whilst looking up. It does piece together with the facts, as given here.

Back in the 90’s my wife and I lived in Nepal. We were trekking near Thangboche when a raven cawing loudly and batting its wings kept following us. Flying ahead and stopping on chortans and a rock wall next to the trail to yell at us, as if warning us not to continue and turn around. Doing so would mean doubling back, adding hours to the trek. We tried to ignore him, but he wouldn’t let up. Being in such a spiritual place we decided to pay heed to the ravens warning and turned around. We later found out that a slide had wiped out the trail just ahead of where we turned around and it was a very dangerous area where other hikers had actually gone missing…. Glad we listened

One time she had an episode while cooking and Birb (that was its name) turned off the stove and flew to her mother's house two towns away to alert them that something happened and they immediately called police. Turning off the stove probably saved her life, and she never taught Birb how to do that. Birb died a year ago or so and we all miss him more than a dog or a cat.

I had a crow yell at me once. I was 17 or 18 at the time. It was perched on my neighbor's gutter while I was filling a bucket to water some newly planted fruit trees--close enough that I thought it was being weirdly insistent--so I yelled back that if it wanted water, it had to come down and get it. So it looked at me, watched me step away and motion to the water-filled bucket, then it flew down and drank from the bucket like a good birb. And I guess that meant we were friends now, 'cause it followed me around while I finished watering my trees--to the point where I actually got it to ride on my shoulder for the last couple of trips. My mom freaked, though. It was hilarious. She was shouting from the back porch, "THERE'S A BIRD ON YOUR SHOULDER!" And I was just... o_o "Yeah, Mom. I can see that. This is my crow friend." And then crow friend started hanging out on the porch after I went inside, tapping on the sliding door and cawing for me, so I had to tell it to leave, or else my mom might chase it off with a broom. (My mom's from the Philippines, and really superstitious, so she thought it was either sick or bad luck.) So crow friend left, and I never saw it again. Great memory, though. Corvids are brilliant birds.

@@Kim_Tae97 it’s basically just an evil shaman that did a terrible act to sell their soul and now they wear the skin of animals/humans to imitate them.

Skinwalker Ranch is an area in Utah where a lot of paranormal activity happens. The “nest” they found was pretty different from what they saw here though. I think in both cases it was just an animal nest. In this case, I think what happened was a man or group of men took the kid, likely killed the dogs and hid their bodies elsewhere, and left the kid in the den they were using as a hiding spot until they could come back and get him. That or they hid him there once things were getting hot with searchers everywhere.

For the last story its possible that Robert had befriended the crow at some point and being a military man he may have neatly stacked his belongings before going to bed while camping with the crow seeing this. The crow could have repeated this bedside action with his remains and remaining items near a place he would camp. (From what I know crows are extremely loyal and extremely smart).

A likely explanation for these cases could be big eagles or Hawks swooped down and picked up the kids and then ended up dropping them at a distant location. That would explain lack of footprints, getting over all the barbed wire fences, and covering long distances in a short amount of time. If the bird is big enough and the child is small enough, it's definitely possible

I use to go deep in the woods on hikes by myself. On one I hurt my ankle and couldn't walk. After a long night, I didn't bring my phone or supplies I started crawling. Several crows started yelling directly above me. I had taken a different route back trying to shorten the time I had to crawl. My original route would've been nearly impossible because I had to climb down. Anyway the crows moved a short distance away. I just knew I needed to follow them so I crawled and used trees to stand and move upright when I could. When I'd reach them they'd start cawing and move another short distance away. This continued for a few hours until I got to the edge of the forest...where I had parked my car. The crows stayed with me until I was safe then flew away. Sometimes God moves in mysterious ways, but sometimes He's obvious.

I don't wanna undermine your sentiment, but crows are incredibly intelligent animals and have been found to communicate, cooperate, and help humans extensively in the past. They also seem to have an understanding of injury and death on what's almost a sentient level, so they probably saw you, realized you were in pain, and then guided you back to your car. Ofc, this could still be attributed to Him, and I don't think you'd be wrong to do so (I'm not personally a believer), but the way in which He intervened is probably even more subtle than you might have imagined. In the above video, it's entirely possible that Robert's belongings were actually placed like that by the crows once again, as they could've found his body and all these things next to him and realized that they were his and wanted to keep them together.

A lot of people don’t know how powerful Hawks are. They take children all the time. The smaller the better. But a lot of times the kid is found cause by air the child looks smaller than they really are. The hawk has the strength for the initial pick up and ability to fly low for a few miles but after a while as the kid starts feeling heavier and heavier. The hawk will either just open his talons and drop the kid mid air which usually causes brain injuries (like amnesia) or due to the weight the hawk will start flying lower and lower as the kid gets harder and harder to hold. And the hawk will place the child back down with no injury and the shock of it all causes the child to not recall the events. I did an entire thesis in college on hawks and part of my thesis covered the various things their talons are strong enough to pick up and children were on the list. The hawk probably returned for the dogs they never found. I never let my pug outside without me. Cause hawks are well known for picking up dogs and cats especially a dog the size of a pug. If a hawk got a hold of my pug I’d never see her again. The hawk would successfully get away with her no problem than return it to its nest and proceed to eat the dog. Both of these children sound like they were taken by hawks. That’s how they can get so far so fast and make it passed barbed wire fences with no injury.

I do not doubt the crow knew exactly what it was doing, calling attention to the remains. I was in my kitchen washing dishes one afternoon. I heard a crow calling repeatedly. After a couple minutes of listening, I decided to go look out the window into the side yard. There was the crow, sitting on a tree branch at the level of the window. I said well, what's the problem? The crow looked at me, and flew about 10/12ft away and perched in the top of an overgrown azalea that I had cut back a few days before. The crow looked at me and down into the azalea. I realized there were other birds perched around on the azalea also. There were 2 more crows, a cardinal, a mockingbird, a robin and 2 sparrows all perched around the upper part of the cut back azalea. Some looked at me and down into the bush, others were just looking into the bush. The crow began calling again, some of the other birds joined the crow in calling. I thought it was strange and something was going on, for these birds to be gathered around like that. I grabbed a machete as I went out the backdoor. I went to the side yard and the calling stopped when I came around the corner. All of the birds were looking at me and looking down into the azalea bush. As I eased up to the bush, the birds continued to perch where they were. Different birds at different times, just sitting there looking at me and looking down into the bush. It was like they were saying Look here. There it is. I looked down and didn't really see anything other than dead leaves and bare azalea branches. I actually asked Well, what? How about a clue? What do you need from me? The 1st crow dropped down a few branches, broke a twig from the branch it was sitting on and dropped it, deliberately to a place near the center of the bush. Then I saw what they were trying to show me....there was a very large cottonmouth coiled there in the azalea. I managed to kill the snake. It was almost 5 ft long and my hand didn't close completely around it when I picked it up. The strangest thing to me though was, I had to poke the snake a couple if times, to get it to move out of the azalea. Then it took 2 blows to chop it's head off. The birds never moved. They sat and watched. Once the head was off and the snake was dead, the birds all went about their bird business. I was very thankful. I had 2 small children that played in the side yard everyday. I added a few more bird feeders and baths to the ones I already had around the area. I pay attention to the wildlife/animals around me. They hear see smell and feel things I never will.

So for the Crow story, based on everything given here, I'd say he made camp at the base of the tree, whatever happened to cause his death, the fact that the rest of his remains weren't found is an easy one to put to rest. His body was eaten and the bones scattered by scavengers. That's why finding an entire deer carcass in the woods, a few days after it dies, is almost impossible.

I also don't think that story is a big mystery. Not even the thing with the crow. Crows are smart animals, they would know how to communicate with people if they really want to. It maybe even understood that the people were looking for someone, so that could be why it decided to do that. And about the stuff: He could have been sitting there, put his stuff down, fallen asleep and then be hit by a tree in his sleep. Or he wanted to change into different clothes and was hit while he was changing. There are a million explanations that don't involve an attacker. The only surprising thing about this story is that the animals didn't take that stuff too. I heard foxes sometimes really like giving their babies shoes as a toy.

@schrodingerskatze4308 crows, and corvids in general, are really smart and can identify people and even be taught to mimick human speech, so it doesn't surprise me at all that a crow spotted human remains and tried to call attention to it. And yeah, foxes and other canid species seem to have a fascination with shoes as toys and patterns too. Not everything is spooky or mysterious. Most things have incredibly boring, mundane, reasons for happening. I used to tell my clients that when I was a paranormal investigators. Be prepared for the most mundane explanation, because in 99 out of 100 cases, that will be what's going on. In that 1 case, it will still be something explainable by modern science. I did over 2000 investigations and there were only 2 no one could explain. And we took air quality samples to rule out any airborne hallucinogens or poisons or toxins too. Of those 2 incidents, the first was what got me into paranormal investigation, I had an entire Metallica concerts stage and figurine display lift off the shelf it was on and move across 12 feet, over my bed even, to the other side of the room facing the wall and there were 7 other witnesses. The second was in this abandoned hospital that had been unused since the 30's. Just a bunch of spooky and unexplainable sounds and a few apparitions. We had cleared the place with police first to make sure there wasn't anyone living in there and we found no signs that anyone had been for quite a while, but we did find a dead body. Apparently dead long enough that the only skin left was in their boots and under their hat. Full beard and brown hair was still on the body, but almost no skin. Which delayed our investigation for a week.

I used to befriend crows in my yard as a child. They are a lot smarter than people realize. They have complex communication skills, and excellent memories. They can describe individual humans to other crows with such detail that those crows can subsequently recognize the person the first time they see them. The crows in your neighborhood will describe dangerous people that have been mean to them, so others can avoid them, as well as describing the nice people who give them food and treats. This is why you may notice, if you feed crows on your property, lots more will show up quite quickly. The ones you fed tell the others about you and your home, that it is safe, and has a human who gives out food. Crows also seem to understand death to a certain degree, and hold funerals for dead comrades. If they witness a crow being killed, or find one dead, they will often attempt to recover the body, and have a little crow funeral around it. If they cannot get the body, they hold the funeral near where the crow was killed. I would not be surprised if the crow in this story had found the corpse. Then, upon hearing another human in the area, attempted to get the hunter's attention and alert him of his fallen brethren. It didn't understand enough to know it was helping to shed light on a missing person's case and all of the complications that go with it... but, being a social animal that also recovers its dead and witnesses humans doing the same, it probably understood that the humans would want to find the body of their fallen comrade.

@@biscuitgidoni2804 corvids are fascinating, and a lot more intelligent than people realize. For decades, there has been a joke that crows know what guns are, and that they will fly away the second you point a firearm at them. Some believed it to be true from experience, others dismissed it. But science shows that it's not just plausible, but very logical and likely. Given their intelligence and communication skills, it is likely that even crows who have never been fired upon would have heard the stories from other crows and the descriptions of what these weapons look like and what they are capable of. So the next time that farmer tells you that he swears the crows know what his gun looks like... maybe don't laugh him off. He is likely correct. EDIT: I bet if we could just bridge the language barrier, they are intelligent enough to look for evidence and help solve murders (find remains in remote, hard to search areas much more quickly). We could employ their help and pay them with peanuts and shiny objects 😂 Is that exploitative?

Crows are messengers, and they do tell us things, usually warnings. Ravens as well. I've had them tell me of the presence of sasquatch. Ravens don't like sasquatch, and will go NUTS when one is present, and you will hear no other birds.

The crow aspect isn't all that strange. Crows are very intelligent creatures. They not only remember faces but can also remember people who have been nice to them. In cases where people have been mean to them, they have been known to hold grudges and will also "tell" other crows so that the other crows can join in on the retaliation. I think it's very likely that the crow simply recognized that a human skull was not something that should be in the area and realized that a living human being could assist in the finding of the skull. As for the rest of it, I have no explanation.

He could have had PTSD from his time as a special ops person in the military. I've even considered that maybe his two sons killed him, and out of some form of guilt or respect for him they put his boots and his belt beside him with his jacket and personal identification so that he would be identified when found. Just my thoughts and observations, I'm sure that we may never know. Whatever the case. It was a tragedy and may God have mercy on him.

I think the first story, Eldridge was possibly picked up by a wild animal like a bear or something. Probably held him by his clothes (his clothes were torn and tattered when he was found) the other 2 dogs probably chased it to protect the boy and were killed/eaten. Ive heard stories about how sometimes when I young child yells out/cries, it can sound very similar to a baby animal and sometimes an animal's maternal instincts will kick in and it will suddenly recognize the child as a baby . There's a story of a girl who was protected by lionesses because, they think, her cries resembled a lion cub. I think this may have been what happened. The animal picked up Eldridge and ran off, planning to eat him but then began to treat him as it's own young and that's why he was found in an animals den on a bed of leaves. Of course the terror of this and of likely seeing his 2 dogs being eaten would be tramatic enough that his mind would block it out. And of course that's why the 3rd dog would have been terrified and wouldn't turn around. You don't turn your back on a predator.
