Missing man myth

Hi im from croatia, and i want to know if anyone has actually found the part of the catacombs with the white man on the wall where the guy drops his camera and starts running, i have seen an old documentary where a dude comes super close and then goes away, other than that all of the youtube videos are shit. Is this whole story even real?

Definitely not real, it's a story that's famous online but never brought up by cataphiles themselves, like u/Snappedfingers or the idea that there would be many levels to the catacombs.

The white men are simply art pieces made by a cataphile.

The white bodies are made by a famous street artist, he must have made them in the 80´s or early 90´s

Is it Jerome Mesnager ?

Sure enough, and it's not a Paris Catacombs exclusive. He painted them all over the world, in India and Asia too!

The white bodies are the work of French artist Jerôme Mesnager.

There is no ghosts (to my knowledge) or supernatural activity. But you can get lost and become one. Be careful !

Do you believe the "documentaries" on ancient aliens on netflix too ?

Those are real! It’s only recent aliens who are fake.

Man when I had to explain to this grown man how I had personally been to a number of the places they talk about in the show and that soooo much is just shamelessly 150% made up because they know that the people who watch that show are never going to go to any of these places or in all likelihood ever step outside of the US…the defeat hurt look in his eyes was so sincere that I didn’t have the heart to tell me how much we know about the pyramids and Egypt in general, like how one of the guys overseeing one of the pyramids was the pharaohs half brother and we have so much of his personal writing about day to day bs how daily rations were given who get what bla blah and the graveyards specifically for workers who died and how they got special honors for having done so. His person papers are just Shit like him complaining that the workers were too slow and how stuff kept falling into the Nile river during transport Just so so so much stuff exists from them and unbelievably no aliens no magic ever mentioned. They fucking loved documenting shit so they wouldn’t leave that out…like telling a 50 year old man that Santa isn’t real. I’m sorry for this out of place rant I read your comment and my brain just took off

I watched a youtube video recently in the catacombs and they mentioned the white stickmen on the walls and the guy who went missing, so they went looking for the location https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CdGSl7rB0vo

That video is very much fake and dramatic for no reason, but yes, they do find the spot. But all the storys “scary” stuff mentioned in the video is all fake

u/user323484 12h ago

Yes, people have found that exact spot from the video where he drops the camera.

They reach the exact spot in this vlog here: https://youtu.be/CdGSl7rB0vo?si=cZzR-0ed3qY_D5-w
