Is it a predator, a portal, or just... statistics? We investigate the terrifying correlation between berry patches and the Missing 411 phenomenon. Discover why National Parks are warning hikers, and why David Paulides' 'Berry Connection' might be the ultimate case of cherry-picked science...

One minute you are reaching for a blackberry; the next, you simply cease to exist.

In the world of Missing 411, developed by David Paulides, there is a terrifying correlation that keeps coming up: an alarming number of people vanish in National Parks while picking berries. But is this a sign of a supernatural predator, a government cover-up, or something much more human—and much more deceptive?

In this episode, we dive deep into the wilderness to explore the "Berry Connection" and the controversy surrounding the missing. We aren't just telling ghost stories; we are putting the methodology on trial. We explore the concept of "Cherry Picking"—both the fruit and the logical fallacy. Are these mysteries genuinely unexplainable, or is it a case of pseudoscience ignoring the cold, hard facts of Lost Person Behavior (LPB)?

In this investigation, we uncover:

• The Berry Cluster: Why do so many cases involve berry patches? Is it camouflage for a predator, or a distraction that leads to fatal disorientation?
• Paulides vs. Science: A breakdown of how omitting data (card stacking) creates a mystery where there might not be one.
• The Real Killer: How physiological reactions like hypothermia and "paradoxical undressing" mimic paranormal activity.
• The Media Machine: How yellow journalism and sensationalism turn tragic accidents into profitable conspiracies.

We strip away the spooky music and look at the forensics. Are we being lied to? Or is the woods really that dangerous?

Tune in to separate the facts from the folklore.
