Disappearance 

Hi! I am new here and I am not sure if this has not been posted here before, so forgive me if I am repeating something. I will try to explain what is happening in one particular area in Slovakia. Please note that English is not my mother tongue so if there is any misunderstanding, please write it in a comment. 

Slovakia is a country in the middle of the Europe. The biggest mountains here are Carpathian Mountains, and Tribeč is part of Carpathian Mountains. Tribeč is a relatively small and not that high mountain. It is located in the west side of the country. It has a shape of a triangle it is not considered to be somehow dangerous, definitely not the way High Tatras are. The climate is moderate, four seasons, no tornados, no earthquakes, just a normal calm environment with wild animals. 

So there is a whole series of missing people in Tribeč, however I believe that most of them could be explained as tragic accidents when animal attacked a victim, preventing the body to be found. However there are some cases that makes me question this whole situation. This is some sort of "urban legend" because there is a book about this, so some people believe it is all just a conspiracy to gain fame, and others believe there is a sinister activity. On the other hand, it is true that people disappeared and have never been found, or their bodies or remains. Now for the cases: 

1929 - A. Samšály went missing 

22nd of November, heavy snow kept falling on the whole region. That day, A. Samšály, the ranger/forester went missing. And that's it. He just went into the woods and snow made it impossible to find him, until spring. However his body was never found. It is possible that he committed suicide, he has no wife nor children and had a relatively lonely life. But it just seems absurd that his body was never recovered/found, considering how relatively small Tribec is. 

1939 - Walter Fischer went missing 

Walter Fischer worked in a shoe factory in Patizanske, a small city on the west of the Tribeč Mountains. He worked there from Monday to Saturday and on Sundays he went to visit his wife and children in another small city (none of the sources mention which one). One Sunday, he decided that he won't be visiting his family, but rather go for a hike. His destination, according to testimony of his colleagues, was "Castle Black" or Čierny hrad (yes, like in Game of Thrones). Castle Black is 23 km from Partizanske, which means that if he wanted to come back that day, he was supposed to walk almost 50 km, and most of them are through the woods. Now, note that this was 24th of January (however, 24th January 1939 was Tuesday, not Sunday, so the source or the original source from that time period is wrong), the coldest month in this climate, and it is very, very possible there was snow in the mountains. He went on a hike and disappeared. No one really cared, until his wife 4 weeks later noticed that something is off. (Now, for explanation - the factory in which he worked in didn't give a damn=didn’t care , they had many people waiting for work, so they assumed he just left or something. Though I have no idea why his wife would wait 4 weeks, she could have an affair or whatever, it doesn't really matter anymore I think). 

That was it, he disappeared. Until the May 8th. On this day, Walter Fisher was found, and now the interesting part begins. He was found alive but unconscious, with several burns on his face and body. He was found on a field near Zlate Moravce, which is a city 35km from Partizanske, where he was last seen. It is also on the other side of the Tribec mountains. Walter Fischer was found in a bad psychological condition and he spent the rest of his life in a facility for mentally ill people. Please mind that if there were any files for this case, that may very well be destroyed already, because September 1939 is the beginning of WWII. and Slovakia was affected by the war. 

1966 - Husband and wife went missing 

In 1966, Jan and Alena, married couple went missing. The only track they left was their car, parked approximately  5km behind the Jelenec (another small city near Tribec) near the forrest leading to Tribec. Both Alena and Jan were missing in work since February. In car, there was nothing abnormal, nothing that would indicate a crime. They have never been found and still remain missing to this day. The search was expanded to whole of the Slovakia. According to source, it just somehow looks like they stepped out of the car and disappeared for good. 

To any Slovaks here - I know this was/is a hot topic in conspiracy theories, and that some cases are easily explained. I mentioned cases that raised many questions to me and would like to ask if anyone has any rational explanations. There are more missing people, as in any mountain area in the world, but these three are just most weird. 

Please note that these cases are old or happened during the uneasy political time (especially the '60s, husband and wife) so there might be a political explanation behind it.
