I'm not sure if this counts, but we were on holiday in Japan & walking near Mt Fuji. My son was 2.5 & running off a little bit in front of us as kids do when he turned a corner & went out of our sight. I hurried up to check the bend he went round & reached it just a few seconds after him & he had vanished just absolutely vanished into nowhere.

I couldn't hear him & couldn't see him so panicked, dropped my pack & set off at a dead sprint travelling way more ground than he possibly could have done worried that he'd been kidnapped or wandered off the trail but couldn't find any sign of him so I sent my wife to get help while I went to search.

Back in Russia I was SAR & good at tracking lost people but there was nothing to show any direction he'd gone in. The authorities came & searched but couldn't find him, then two hours later he reappeared in basically the same spot we'd lost him in giggling & happy & clean like he hadn't gone anywhere & had just taken his previous step. To this day we have no explanation as to where he went & he was too little to describe it to us. Besides 2 hours with no dirt on his pants or needing a diaper change was basically impossible for him

It freaked me out & now I've found this sub think I may have found a solution as to where he went.

Thanks & please forgive my English, it's not my first language.
