In January 2014, I wrote a piece titled "People Vanishing In Clusters, Unexplained – What’s Happening?," about the investigation into the phenomenon of people vanishing from US national parks, in clusters, written about in the popular Missing 411 book series and a trail of missing people that has remained unexplained to date.
On May 29, 2014, a writer by the name of Micah Hanks at Mysterious Universe, carefully detailed the documented instances of "Wild Men," also referred to as "feral humans," living in isolation, hiding from the world in remotes areas across North America and while Hanks does not assert a connection, he does bring into question the connections and similarities between Bigfoot sightings, these feral humans, and one of the children that went missing in the Missing 411 series along with a witness account in the very same area as a witness reported seeing a humanoid, whether man or the illusive "bigfoot."
In what led to the authorship of the Missing 411 book series, author and retired law enforcement officer David Paulides had begun researching strange disappearances in National Parks (which, it should be noted, he does not view in direct correlation with things like Bigfoot reports, instead taking a more objective, statistical approach to his investigations). However, one of the most compelling cases Paulides began to study early on had been the disappearance of a young boy, Dennis Martin, who vanished from within sight of his father in the summer of 1969 near Cades Cove in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
One of the most striking details of the case (and one which National Park Service documents pertaining to Martin’s disappearance failed to note) had involved a strange observation made shortly after Dennis Martin went missing, a short distance away near the area of Rowans Creek. Mr. Harold Key and his family had been walking a trail in the area looking for wildlife–in particular, any sign of black bears nearby–when they heard “an enormous, sickening scream.” Within moments, Key’s son pointed out a bear nearby, located up the ridge from them. Mr. Key, upon observing the “bear” his son had spotted, determined this to be not a bear, but a “dark figured, rough-looking man” attempting to remain concealed behind a thicket.
The man, which Key didn’t manage to view in clear detail, had purportedly been carrying something over his shoulder; Harold Key, unaware of Dennis Martin’s disappearance earlier that afternoon, supposed that the figure might have been a moonshiner who had trying to hide from them. Upon learning days later of the search for Dennis Martin, Harold Key notified the FBI about what he and his family had seen the same afternoon Dennis went missing.
Is it possible these feral humans aka wild men are the elusive "Bigfoot" creatures? Furthermore, given the locations they seem to live in, is it also possible there is a connection between these people/creatures (call them what you will) and the clusters of vanishings people in the US national parks?
In the video below, uploaded today by 777DGuthrie777, you will a fascinating interview from Where Did The Road Go, with a Steve Stockton interview about strange things in the woods and his own experiences.
Beneath that is the original Vanishing in Clusters video, for reference.

If you like the "Missing 411" works of David Paulides, then you should enjoy this too. Very similar subject matters and extremely interesting.
