## Resource

In July 2014, 28‑year‑old German tourist Lars Mittank vanished after a series of strange, paranoid behaviours at a Bulgarian airport, caught on CCTV running into the woods, never to be seen again. He’d left his luggage behind, seemed terrified of people who weren’t there, and was acting like someone who desperately believed he was in danger. Years later, his disappearance has become one of the internet’s most unsettling mysteries, raising the same chilling question over and over: what was Lars so afraid of, and where did he go?
