Missing: Never Lost (Stories From Doveland Book 7)

Product Information

The town just never existed and is just internet bs probably sourced from and ending with /x/ LARPing antics

The aforementioned posts on 4chan’s /x/ board are, as this Tumblr post notes, scant in detail. They’re largely dated 2017 and onward, and occasionally prompted by the appearance of Doveland on conspiracy-themed versions of those iceberg charts that have become so popular recently. The posts consist of comments like, “Doveland: Explain” and “ Doveland is apparently a town in Wisconsin that disappeared some time [sic] in the 1990s which has led to conspiracy theories about the place,” although every so often, someone will write something like, “ Town in northwest WI that disappeared in the early ‘90s. I grew up around Rhinelander and I distinctly remember my dad wearing a t-shirt from a bar that said ‘Behren’s Pub, Doveland Wisconsin’ many times when I was a kid.” There’s a piece of copypasta that tends to pop up with some degree of frequency in these posts, as well: “You live in Wisconsin? Just ask around, most people born before the ‘90s will remember the city of Doveland, some even have shirts, mugs, etc. that reference it.” They went into the post office, a bar in which music was still playing, and various other businesses, looking for someone - anyone - to give them directions. Eventually, an old man “just seemed to appear out of nowhere in the middle of town walking alone.” As they ran up to him and asked where everyone was, he replied, “I guess folks round here don't get up much till round noon.” The town of Urkhammer, IA was once a bustling, but strangely silent, little burg. However, it faded away in the early 1930s, and those who tried to visit found themselves passing through buildings “as easily as a potato passes through the smoke of a campfire.” The legend of Urkhammer has taken hold online among afficionados of creepy stories and unexplained events.Here’s what’s real: Project Sanguine. Project ELF, too. In fact, Project Sanguine is perhaps best thought of as the blue sky version of Project ELF — the Platonic ideal version, the version that arose from brainstorming without the need to consider limitations. Both were U.S. Navy projects intended to facilitate communication with deep-sea submarines — although one never quite got off the ground, and the other has since been declared obsolete. Supposedly there was a small town in Wisconsin called Doveland, that just up and disappeared sometime in the late 1980s/early 1990s. One day the town was there, the next… it wasn’t. Every man, woman, and child vanished into thin air. The town fell into another dimension, or we shifted to a reality where the town had never existed; think Mandela Effect.” In my opinion this theory makes as much sense as anything else philosophy or religion has been able to come up with anyway. What even is life! Doveland does not apparently appear on any map of Wisconsin (National Highways Association / Public Domain )

Beyond all that, though — which, when you get down to it, doesn’t amount to much — there isn’t really anything else to find about Doveland. All we know is that allegedly, it existed; then, one day, allegedly, it suddenly did not. The story goes on to suggest that the town simply faded away in the early 1930s. Those who tried to visit found themselves passing through buildings “as easily as a potato passes through the smoke of a campfire,” and by 1932, the town was completely gone.A town or unincorporated settlement that was destroyed by damming, similar to Werner. However towns that 'vanished' this way were historically well documented. [3] The bottom line: These two articles are almost certainly errors on Google’s part and should not be considered connected to the Doveland mystery. This also means that pinning 2015 as the year discussion of Doveland first appeared online is incorrect. A second quote repeats much the same information: “​​​​​​I just learned of all the noise surrounding Doveland, and I think I can add some insight,” the quote says. “Doveland was a small town in Wisconsin that housed a lot of military families. My father lived there for a year or two and spoke of it occasionally. The main thing I remember is that it had to do with ‘Project Sanguine’ in the early 60’s.” However, this quote also goes to note that the reason for the town’s alleged disappearance wasn’t “X-Files type stuff”; rather, it’s thought that Doveland was “destroyed after an incident” of some kind. “I thought they were digging up a ton of land for something and they flooded the town or something, but this is a rehashed secondhand memory from years ago,” the quote reads.

Many theories have been put forward to explain the disappearance of Doveland, but none have been proven. Some say that the town was swallowed up by a sinkhole or was the victim of a massive earthquake. Others believe that the town was cursed by a vengeful spirit, who caused the town and its people to disappear as punishment for some long-forgotten transgression. No one knows what happened to the small town of Doveland, WI - possibly because it never existed at all. Discussed predominantly on online forums like Reddit, Tumblr, and 4Chan, Doveland is a town that supposedly existed somewhere in the state of Wisconsin prior to 1990; however, Doveland is no longer there and, indeed, is nowhere to be found, even on historical maps, despite people who claim to have been there, or even have mementos from the place. Those individuals are experiencing false memories. More specifically, they are experiencing the Mandela effect. The Mandela effect is the existence of specific false memories that can be shared amongst large groups of people. A government project/experiment gone wrong killed everyone, then they razed it to the ground to cover their screw-up In terms of more realistic theories, those often center on Doveland being destroyed by damming (which did actually happen to other Wisconsin towns over the years), all of the residents moving away for one reason or another, or the fact that it was a military town that ceased to exist (possibly part of Project Sanguine) – or was actually destroyed in a military experiment gone terribly wrong. Plenty of people on the internet will tell you about their fathers talking about living in a place called Doveland as part of some secret military operation.

There is also the Glitch in the Matrix subreddit full of personal accounts of the universe behaving strangely. Things like items disappearing and then reappearing, items somehow becoming duplicated and other things that are just not quite right. One explanation for Doveland's supposed disappearance is damming. According to historical evidence, damming has actually destroyed small towns in Wisconsin, specifically due to the numerous hydroelectric projects executed there since the late 19th century. Others believe Doveland didn’t actually disappear at all – you just can’t see it. Supposedly, you can sometimes see the ghostly outline of a town and its buildings, along with the residents. Of course, you’d have to know where Doveland even is to get a glimpse of this mostly hidden town. It’s something of a creepy Mandela effect, but this is how the story goes: Supposedly, there was a town in Wisconsin – located in the “heart of the state” – called Doveland and at one point in the ’90s, it simply… disappeared. But the strange thing is, there are no historical documents that prove the existence of Doveland. And don’t bother looking for any maps proving Doveland’s location, either; you won’t find it there. stories #mystery #truecrimeirl #truecrimesleepstories #truecrime #truecrimecommunity #truecrimepodcast #truecrimejunkie #truecrimeobsessed #unsolved #truecrimepodcasts #truecrimeallthetime #truecrimeandchill #buzzfeedunsolved #kellibrink #kelliberensbrink #truecrimegarage #crimejunkie #podcast #morbid
