David Lang- the man who fell into time

\
If you’re interested in unsolved mysteries you’ve probably heard of David Lang- “The man who fell into time”.
The story goes; he was walking outside in the garden while his wife and kids watched from the kitchen window, when he suddenly vanished into thin air.
The horrified scream of his Lang’s wife drew the attention of a couple of local men who turned to look at the scene and notice that David was suddenly gone. (some stories report that the two men also disappeared)
Allegedly, all that remained was a circle of darkness tinged with yellow that stayed as a permanent shadow for quite some time- a shadow that could not even be faded by nature or time.
Whether this 1880’s tale had any truth to it was unconfirmed for a long time, but it would eventually come to be known as a hoax, conjured up by the imagination of a man called Joseph M. Mulholland (or Mulhatten) , who was infamous for his fictitious fables.

  1. Check out the story of Orion Williamson from the book Lost...and never found 2. Author says David Lang was invented by a journalist who was looking for a quick paycheck and just changed the names, dates, and places of the original story.

    Of course, this book was published back in the 90s before the internet was usable as a research tool. I might go and try to match Orion up with some census records and see if that guy even existed
