Описание: Man Vanished In Mount Hood National Forest — A Year Later He Reappeared And Refused To Go Home

When Lucas Ward appeared at the emergency department of a hospital in rural Oregon on a freezing cold morning, he was barely recognizable—gaunt to the point of being skin and bones, with matted hair and beard, and sunken eyes that looked like they had seen far too much darkness. The thirty-nine-year-old man had vanished more than a year earlier in the Mount Hood forest, one of the most rugged areas in the Pacific Northwest, where search teams had once believed he had no chance of survival. But what left the doctors and police stunned wasn’t his appearance. What truly sent chills down their spines was what Lucas said about that year—about why he didn’t try to escape, and about a place in the woods where people could be held without any locked doors.
