Dead in the Water: Forever Awake
The true mysterious unexplained story of the Drowning Young Men. Hundreds of young men; vanishing without a trace, only for many of them to be found dead; weeks or months later, in remote rivers or creeks, shallow ponds or canals, in areas that search parties have searched multiple times before; their bodies later discovered there, as though placed to be found.

About the author
Stephen Young
98 books52 followersSteph Young began writing with the pen name Stephen Young, until she was asked to appear on National Radio show 'Coast to Coast AM'. Quickly, she had to explain she was a female! She had never expected anyone to read her books, let alone be asked on a national radio show ( which happened to be her favourite one) Since then she has been a regular guest on many podcasts and radio shows of the paranormal and unexplained.
She has a website now too:

Steph is an independent Researcher addicted to researching all Paranormal, Supernatural, Esoteric & Enigmatic Unexplained Mysteries, Unexplained Disappearances, the dark history of Lore and Monstrous Creatures of the Unknown.
Steph also particularly likes to write about Creepy things in the Woods, Strange encounters in the woods, & Scary things in the woods.....her books include Lore and Folklore and Mythology - but don't let that fool you...many of the readers who contact Steph now to tell them of their own strange encounters with the Unknown provide ample evidence that perhaps these creatures and monsters from our darkest nightmares, seem to well and truly exist...Lore becomes reality and as they say, the truth is often far scarier than fiction or folklore. As for the many cases of the Unexplained Disappearances that Steph investigates in her books, these Unsolved disappearances are all too real - but they often have very baffling circumstances and very cryptic clues.
Each book Steph writes seems to lead to further questions & searches for answers as the mysteries inevitably deepen & develop into ever more complex riddles in the spectrum of the Unknown.
Conspiracies, hidden secrets, the truth from the Lore, the connections between the paranormal and the missing, these are just some of the enigma's Steph investigates to find the new, the unexpected, and the surprising possibilities that might just tie all of this together....
If you have had a Creepy encounter, i would love to hear from you, & would be very interested in your experience.

After a succession of good books it seems I am back in sort of a reading slump. Why I think that is because I am reading 4 or 5 books at once which is not healthy for me.
Anyway in 2004 Dan (Danny Daniel) Clune went missing. Back then I was an avid bookcrosser and He was part of the bookcrossing team.
--------------------------------------------------------
Friday November 5th Danny and some friends went to The Long Bridge Grill outside of Sandpoint, ID. Just prior to the bar closing, he and his friends began to regroup for the car ride home. The last time Danny was seen, he was looking for a friend and retrieving his blue hooded sweatshirt from the bar at about 1:45am. Cell phone records show Danny tried to call one of his close friends at 1:57am, this was the last call made from his cell phone to date.
Friends waited about 15 minutes in the parking lot, but didn't see him. Thinking he may have decided to walk home, they began driving toward Sandpoint, stopping to see if he was among the pedestrians on the Long Bridge walkway, but he was nowhere to be found.
On December 17, 2004 a duck hunter discovered a badly decomposed body in an Idaho river. On December 22, 2004 dental records were used to positively identify the body as Danny.
Danny's case is still open and we will continue to search for answers.

Afterwards there were many questions left. How did he end up in the river?
hen through the years I kept on reading about many young and healthy men drowning in rivers while going out. No women only men. Some of them left very weird phone calls, screaming in agony and others were found months later to be dead for just a few days.
So I became interested. This is an interesting book although I wished it had been a bit more analytical, meaning I would have lied a list with all the names, which would be clickable in my kindle copy. Now it is hard to keep track of all the names.

The statistics can no longer be ignored. Some of the theories explored here are flat out impossible (Genius Locii swallowing the victims up), but I definitely believe something organized is going on. To what ends, I do not surmise to know.

Although the topic that the book covered is interesting and thought compelling, I found the book to be extremely repetitive and drawn out. I also found it difficult to move past the grammatical errors.

This book will make you reconsider your surroundings!
Stephen Young builds an admittedly circumstantial case for an underground culture that is stalking and killing the most promising of our young men. Scary if true.

Rambling but interesting. Don't read if you want to sleep at night - major creepiness.
