On Setember 23, 1880, on a farm about twelve miles outside Gallatin, Tennessee, a farmer named David Lang disappeared from the face of the earth. There were several witnesses to this happening. One minute he was walking in his nearly bare field, the next, he vanished before the eyes of at least five witnessess. A check found no fisures in the earth, indeed, the field was over a large section of bedrock with no cracks in it. Within a year of the disappearance, a large stand of thick grass grew in a circle around the spot. Bugs did not go there, and animals shyed away from it. One day, his children went to the spot and called their father… and got an answer. For days, they tried to call to him, but the answers got fainter and fainter, and then disappeared forever.

No one has ever been able to find a good explanation for this.
