The most disturbing disappearance in history: the case of Oliver Thomas

The case of the disappearance of the child Oliver Thomas in Wales in 1900, is one of the best known as well as singular. It can be said that many data fall within the supernatural, and that the reliable sources available are only statements from family and neighbors that in those years, and in view of the unusual circumstances in which the child disappeared, they ended up giving more weight to the "magical" than to the concrete.

Today in Lifestyle we want you to travel with us to a very specific point of the past: on December 24, 1909, in the small town of Brecon, in Wales. The story that happened here didn't I will leave you indifferent.

The most CONCERNING disappearance in history: the case of Oliver Thomas

The holidays the day before Christmas were celebrated as of custom in the town of Brecon, in Wales.The humility of its people, the family fondness and the smell of good food permeated normality some dates that did not intuit that the tragedy was about to happen.

Mrs.Thomas was an excellent cook, and it was usual that every year at that table about 15 people met, between they the doctor and the village veterinarian.According to the subsequent statements, the drama had its point of origin at the time the father of the family, seeing that there was no water left at the table, asked his son, Oliver, 11, who went to the pit for a bucket.

Oliver Thomas, 11 years old

It was snowing outside, but for them it was normal to come and go to the well in search of water.It was not especially far and it was a task that children used to like it.So Oliver, put on his boots, put on his scarf and went out the door of his house without knowing, that they would never see him again.

It was only 10 seconds That is the time that according to those people, passed until the tranquility of that evening was broken with a heartbreaking scream of the child.After a few screams of pain, Oliver's voice said the following: «¡ Help, they take me away! »

The family, almost instinctively, went outside with sticks and a shotgun fearing the worst.Now Well, when they went outside, they saw nothing.There was no sign of the child. Only the sepulchral silence and the warm dance of those snowflakes that kept falling.

The father, desperate, he followed his son's footprints in the snow, which, could be distinguished perfectly from the door of the house in the direction of the well, but without reaching him, because halfway the footprints were gone.

According to the statement and the newspapers of the time, they returned to listen once more to the cries of Oliver, and the family "pointed" to the sky: according to themselves, the child's voice was now heard from the heights , but unfortunately they could not see anything.Oliver Thomas never appeared, there were no clues, no body, no suspects...Something desperate for the family.

What conclusion was reached? That something could have taken him "from above."

However, and as happens in almost 60% of disappearances, and especially children, it was never known Nothing.Given the uniqueness of the case, theories of all kinds have not been lacking since then, and as the decades passed, the inevitable hypothesis increased that perhaps, something had to do with the UFO phenomenon.

Therefore, if you are looking for information on the case of Oliver Thomas, it will not take long to see this classic association, and the recurring theory that the boy who lost the night before Christmas could have been abducted by the aliens.

But let's go one step further, and let's talk about a curious theory that was taken into account throughout the 70s: giant eagles .Tell the story that in 1977, in Michigan , child about 6 years old he was attacked by two giant eagles that They got up from the ground and were about to take it away, if it hadn't been for their mother.

We know that eagles may very well be strong enough to take animals of considerable weight, but it is somewhat strange that two birds allied with each other to kidnap a child.And even more, according to the mother, those eagles were "black." Lovers of cryptozoology soon said they could be "teratornids," relatives of the condor of the Andes , which disappeared about 10,000 years ago, and that perhaps, the boy who disappeared in Wales in 1909 could also have been kidnapped by "prehistoric birds".

As you can see, the rocambolesque of the case does not have limits, and we regret without doubt that a more thorough, more detailed investigation was not made, with which, to have more feasible hypothesis However, the fact that a child disappears is not unusual, unfortunately every year there are thousands of children who also disappear without a trace leaving authentic dramas in these families, who see time pass by without knowing anything.

So now tell us: What is your theory? What could have happened to little Oliver Thomas? Feel free to leave us your comments and remember also :
