The Land of Hansel and Gretel, Maybe Not a Good Place

People That Got Lost in the Wilderness, Not Space

Every so often, people get utterly lost, so lost that they scramble their brains along with their bearings. https://t.co/LxrCMqzEB2

Health Editor’s Note: People can get so lost that their brains cannot function to help them find their way. Maybe you have found yourself in a room at your house and cannot remember why you went there and what you intended to get from or do there. At least you are safe in your house. Here are a few cases of when people have gotten so lost, in America, that they lost all sense of where they were. While many of these ‘lost in the wilderness’ cases occurred before GPS, even more recently, in the GPS world, people can become hopelessly turned around and lost. Sometimes how people overcome being lost depends on the kindness or unkindness of strangers they meet along the way.  We can only hope this does not happen to us….Carol
