David Paulides is a retired law enforcement agent who has spent years researching and docuмenting suspicious and unsolved missing person cases, most of which occur in a cluster of national parks and forests. These cases all follow the same pattern - someone is alone in the woods, or even just out of sight (i.e. last in line) and then suddenly vanishes. When they are declared missing, search teams cannot find a trace of them - bloodhounds cannot pick up a scent or refuse to follow the trail beyond a certain point (extremely unusual). Weeks later the body shows up naked in either previously searched area or somewhere so remote that how the body got there is a mystery.  No marks on the body - cause of death undetermined. Stranger yet, autopsies reveal that the person has only been dead a few days, meaning that they were alive during most of the search. This was a shoddy and brief review, but this is by far the most blood curdling story I have heard in a while. Something very evil is going on in the national parks.

I also read something recently about the forests around the Ft. MacMurray fire in Canada, and that they were having a real problem with demons in their woods. I'm serious.

This was a reply to another discussion on the weirdness up there.

I worked in a camp near there 3 years ago. Met a guy who's job was to survey the forests.

He told me the forests were full of supernatural things and swears there was demons in them. Strangest forests he's ever worked in and had been up there for over 10 years if I remember correctly.

He said the forests had a great sadness to them and the land was dying as well.

And this:

I am a couple of hours drive south of Ft.McMurray and have worked/visited the place many times over the past thirty years. Many people from across the country do the same thing but there are more things going on in the woods of Northern Alberta than just resource extraction.

Foreign ownership of large swaths of the tar sands is no secret but hiring only people from those foreign nations is not well publicized as you might imagine. Similarly, disputes over the land surrounding Ft.McMurray have been a hot issue for years because the land leased to producers will return many more dollars to the government than the land used to build more houses.

From the turn of last century the forests of Alberta have been home to military training camps from many allied countries and that trend continues to this day [Link] . Mossad is the first one that comes to mind because of my own personal experiences with their members here in Alberta but the U.S., Great Britain and others have large facilities tucked away up here.

You don't get to see them using Google maps because you are not meant to; you have to stumble across them (which is darn near impossible but it's been done) or you pay close attention to late night conversations in area drinking spots.

Lastly, there is a lot of naturally occuring radioactive material in the ground up here; so much that people theorize that more money could be made by mining the stuff than by re-building the city of Ft. McMurray.

I cannot tell you exactly why there is such secrecy surrounding the city right now but considering all that goes on up here, both known and unknown, you can bet the fire fighters and first responders have seen some very interesting things.

This was on the radio, maybe, Coast to Coast, maybe George Noorey(sp).  

Sounds like the Wizard of OZ!

Local law enforcement has no jurisdiction over federal lands.  They have no idea what's going on at a national park.  I don't agree with that, but it's reality.

I have no definite idea about the staircases, but it has to be the occult.  There's too many stories of people messing with them and then bad things happen.

Many of the stories related to the staircases are unverifiable and probably fiction but it is fact that 1) witchcraft and satanists hold many of their ceremonies in the forest and 2) there are staircases in the middle of nowhere.

The staircases are small peanuts compared to the grand story of strange disappearances, events and demonic activity that seem to happen in many forested areas of the world.
