The Incredible Disappearance of Six Year Old Dennis Martin

One of the greatest coverups of Park Rangers and The FBI took place in The Great Smokey Mountains National Park in Tennessee on June 14, 1969. It involved a six year old named Dennis Martin who was on vacation with his father and grandfather. William Martin and his dad and son were camping near Spence Field. It was a vacation they took every year. There was another Martin family there, no relation. They had several boys with them. They got to know each other and decided to go and play a game of hide and seek. Dennis was being watched by his father as he went behind a nearby bush, hiding. The other boys went in a different direction, also hiding behind some trees. After a while the other boys came back but Little Dennis had not. His father called for his son to come out from behind the bush, to no avail. He ran frantically looking and calling. Screaming and yelling for his beloved son. He ran two miles down an Appalaching trail looking but not finding. He asked his dad to hike down and go to the Ranger station and get help. Soon they had one of the largest search parties ever. Involving Park rangers, volunteers, and Military that were nearby, Special forces Green Berets were brought in. A total of 1500 searched. It started raining and it made searching very difficult. On June 19th the Green Berets told the Park Rangers they were taking over the search. Mr Martin was assured he would be told everything about the case by the FBI. He wasn't. He was not told that five miles away, was a gentleman by the name of Harold Keys and his family who had seen what appeared to be a Hairy Like Human running and carrying a screaming boy over his shoulder with a red shirt, going up a hill. The FBI dismissed the information saying it was not credible evidence, and did not report it to Mr Martin. This story gets crazier. The Green Berets spent a week in the woods. Their mission was finally completed. One of the Soldiers told FBI agent Jim Rike that they found the little boy's skeleton, his red shirt, and other human skeletons. He said, " They killed 30 feral humans (Bigfoots) and killed the one that snatched Dennis Martin." He stated also, "That they could not tell his parents, because they would be devastated." It was assumed it ate the child. Soon after, the FBI agent who was told this information Jim Rike, commited suicide and the Green Beret who told him died in a mysterious car accident. The men paid a dear price for talking. (Based on a True Story) Michael Tor

What an intriguing story, Michael! There's evil lurking out there. Losing their son was devastating enough for the family, but hearing about the cover up must be even more so. Keep exploring my friend.

So true you words Vijay. Really sad for a parent to go through. Sadly I am sure the information got back to them through David Paulides. I 'm sure it was very sad to hear...Thanks for the visit my friend I appreciate you stopping by...

Michael, your narration is great and adds credibility to the tale. I watched numerous episodes of Discovery hunting for the Big Foot using the most up-to-date heat cameras, and it was confirmed that he is certainly here, hidden somewhere! Michael, you have an excellent capacity to keep your readers' eyes captivated by your description. For a while, I forgot about myself and became immersed in the suffering of the Martin family!

Lasaad thank you for your feedback on Bigfoot. I am glad you got to watch the Discovery program on Bigfoot. It is a fascinating topic to say the least. I have done a lot of research and it is amazing what these Nephilim are about. what they are connected too, their behavior sometimes is deadly most of the time they are not. The different types through out the United states and world. It is amazing to know these creatures truly exist. I have mentioned some great Youtube Channels in my other comments Lasaad if you wanted to learn more... Thank you Sir for your much appreciated visit. God bless you and good health to you my friend...

Thank you Linda this one was a sad one. You can check out the different versions of my story on Youtube. My heart cried out for his parents, and what they went through because the Park agency had a secret policy in not letting people knpow about these creatures. So sad our government covers up everything. Ofcourse by doing so no one would venture into the parks knowing this information...

Michael, I don't know if I should believe this or not. This is stranger than fiction. But your ability to make your readers eyes glued to your description is just amazing. For a time I forgot myself and have been experiencing the agony of the Martin family !

(Books) The Interrupted Journey, Missing Time, Intruders, Silent Invasion, Above Top Secret, etc hundreds more of factual evidence and truth. The government has had an agenda to cover the truth. This is very real Valsa. I suggest you listen to the tens of thousands of people that have called in with their bigfoot stories all over the world on Steve Isdahl Youtube channel How to hunt .com. It is all the evidence in the world testimonies of tens of thousands of people ranging from PHD, Doctors, Policemen, etc. There is just too much evidence to negate this truth. I encourage you to read Silent Invasion by Ellen Crystal. Also Donovan Dredge on YouTube Park Rangers share their stories, and policeman. Valsa this is absolutely real. Thanks for stopping by...

Dear Valsa I have spent at least thirty years doing research on just about everything, have read countless numbers of books, tens of thousands of hours on research regarding Aliens, Cryptids, Sasquatch, etc. The truth is out there if you seek it you will find it. My own personal ( experiences) and my research and hundreds other researchers like retired dectective David Paulides, Scott Carpenter, Steve Isdahl, Dr Stanton Friedman, Dr Ellen Crystal, Dr John E Mack Harvard professor, Bud Hopkins, William Cooper, Philip Schneider, Linda Moulton Howe,Project Blue book (Government Agency Studying the Alien Agenda) Betty and Barney Hill...

Reality much stranger than fiction ever could be. If Americans freaked out over H.G. Wells' Martian hoax, which clearly seemed absurd, imagine what we/they would have done with this one 30 years later! Probably why it was covered-up.

Your absolutely right Gershon that is the main reason for all the coverups. They the government feels the public can't handle the truth and would be in absolute panic, from my many years of research on this topic that is the main reason they cover everything up. If people only knew these Creatures were in our Parks and countryside no one would venture to go. A Youtbe Channel Donovan Dredge is great to watch the true stories of these Cryptids. Also Steve Isdahls Youtube Channel HowTo Hunt .com. Your common sense impresses me Gershon as always. Thanks for the visit my friend and your valued comment...

Wow and perhaps we pay tribute to the lost souls, so they are not forgotten. I have a small park near me. One other family was there with their kids on the playground and parent in the car. Kid started playing hide and seek. I would not let my grandson go out of sight nor anywhere near the car. Call me paranoid but “not on my watch.” Such a sad story and scary too!

Kim I am with you on never losing sight of our loved ones. So many things out there that can cause you harm. Life is full of mysteries that people aren't aware of and they have been kept from them knowing by their government... Thank you Kim for your comments, I really appreciate them.

Thank you Bill it is such a tragedy. If you go on Yutube you can see the child and there are many versions of the story. I took David Paulides version. He was the most credible, being a retired Police investigator. Thank you for stopping by Bill always a pleasure to read your comments my friend...

Yes there is Paul just like you said. Our governments don't share the truth of these beings with us. They cover everything up. We have to rely on ourselves my friend. So glad to see you Paul you are a wonderful human being that I truly admire. God bless you and all you love. My friend in Malta...

Wow! This is a mysterious, scary, heart-wrenching story well-told, Michael. I simply don't know what to think. I wonder if anyone ever fully investigated Harold Key's sighting. Also, I wonder if there were other incidences of disappearance in the area in the ensuing years. Fascinating!

Also Milton Scott Carpenters Channel on YouTube under Scott Carpenter. These channels will give a ton of information, pictures, videos, etc. Scott Carpenter has written a book The Nephilim Among Us is a great book on Bigfoot and cryptids. He has written several great books on Bigfoot. I recommend them Milton... There are many other books also...

Milton the easiest way in my opinion to start researching or learning this topic is to go to YouTube that is formated in videos which are great because they include the stories from the Park rangers, policemen, the public and they are share the first one I recommend is Steve Isdahl How to Hunt .com. He has two channels this one is strictly thousands of people calling him with their Bigfoot Stories. Another great one is Donovan Dread these are stories of peoples encounters thousands have shared with Teve and Steve shares the stories on his Youtube channel...

To answered your other question Milton there were through the years four other missing people in that same Park never to be found. The Green Beret said that they found the (Creature) that snatched him. The only way he would know that is if they after shooting the (Creature) they opened his stomach up and found the child. I did not want to share that because the details were so awful. David Paulides has written a series of books Missing 411 best sellers on unexplained disappearances. A great channel on YouTube that has many Law Enforcement and Park Ranger True Narratives is Donavan Dread on You Tube with evidence and sometimes film. It is an incredible channel for this sort of stuff. Cryptids, UFO's, Aliens, Dogman, and Sasquatch. Most of the events are shared by Park Rangers, and Police officers. This world is full of beings we are not told of Milton... Thanks for stopping by and the appreciated comment my friend...

Milton you ask great questions. Harold Keys sighting was investigated by the FBI but the information from the sighting was classified. They, the FBI and Park Rangers are told that they are not to discuss anything about Bigfoot, and to deny such information. It is their Protocal. Some believe after Mr Keys told the original story he was pressured into saying that he saw a totally different event. David Paulides a retired detective did a thorough investigation and relates pretty much everything I have shared.

Wow, Michael, what a story!! You told it so well, I was fascinated start to finish!! Happy Tuesday !!

Thanks Mike yes I saw David Paulides Podcast with Art Bell and I also did some investigating. My heart cried out to the father. David flew to see him from California to tell him what he had found out. Mr Martin at first told David that he had promised his wife he would never discuss it, but David told him he had important information he should know and he had flown in from California to tell him. Mr Martin let him in and David share with Mr Martin and his wife, what the FBI did not tell him of the Keys sighting of His son taken by this (Creature, Bigfoot) and relayed the truth to him. He finally knew what had happened to his son years later... Thanks to David... Thanks Mike for your kind words...

It was an incredible story researched by an ex police detective David Paulides. The government went as far as to kill the Green Beret who shared the truth of what they found and what they did in a car accident. The FBI agent Jim Rike who was told, was killed and it was made to look like a suicide. This is to what extremes they go to cover up the truth.On Youtube Victor there is a site calle Donovan Dread that shares all the secret stuff they don't want you to know. It is an incredible channel to watch. Thanks for stopping by my friend. Hope all is well...
