If you've been lurking around the internet long enough, you've probably have come across at least one of those missing person cases like the cases of Amelia Earheart or those of the Sodder children. If not, you might have heard of them somewhere on the news or as a reference in a tv show or movie.

Strangely enough and for some messed up reason, a lot of us are interested in such stories. We'd even stay up late into the night browsing through online articles or watching documentaries about them.

There's just something about the drama of it and, of course, the mystery. With all of the human ingenuity we have, why haven't these cases been solved, right?

Then again, there are tons of reasons that people can vanish. Someone can be abducted, they can have a mental illness, they may have met an accident, or they may have chosen to actually disappear. There are many more and with all those reasons, you really have to dig deep to find them.

Thankfully though, not everyone ends up on the forever missing person list. Some of them actually do come back and live to tell the tale of their disappearance.

On Reddit, user Xenilovedon asked these very people, "People who went missing, what happened?" and they did not disappoint. They were more than willing to share their tales.

Keep reading to check out some of the most memorable ones.

Going missing, especially when you're a kid, is a frightening thing and it can even be traumatizing. One perk when you're a kid though is that you might not even notice it.

When you're an adult, however, it's a completely different story. Thankfully, none of these guys did end up missing forever.
