Extreme hypothermia => "paradoxical undressing". https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/HypothermiaDiluted Dante wrote:The naked bit is weird, but the rest sounds like people getting lost.
It reminds me of the conspiracy thing of young men going missing near water. The explanation is they got drunk and fell in the canal/river, but distraught people want an explanation that doesn't fault the missing.

Its not the dead and naked part that is the mystery.poprock wrote:Aye, paradoxical undressing is well understood and documented. ‘Missing people found dead and naked in the woods’ is really not a mystery of the unexplained. Especially in countries with sparser populations, where there is so much more wilderness to get lost in.

Were they, by any chance, missing in a forest at a higher altitude than they were used to?
Ah no I didnt think you guys were having a go, its just I can see how my posts might be misinterpreted(all my own fault btw). It sounds like we share a similar outlook. I just put the clarification out there cos I dont want to have to constantly do a Mulder/Scully post style in here of present a weird case and then self debunk it.Kazuo wrote:@Ninja, Aye, sorry if I came across as dismissive or anything. Definitely not having a go, as I really am into this sort of stuff too; especially enjoyed the missing persons/staircases in the woods stuff from those Reddit threads when they were floating about. I do try to treat it all with a bit of common sense though, as a counterpoint to my permanently stoned older brother who buys into most of it and just ends up coming across as a bit daft. That podcast was a good laugh, it's all entertainment.
