On June 29, 1968, Jerrold I. Potter disappeared out of a plane in the air over Missouri. If indeed he fell out of the plane, which family and witnesses said didn't happen, no body was ever found along the flight path.
On September 3, 1873, James Worson disappeared while racing nine miles in front of his two "friends", one was a photographer that was taking pictures of his journey.
On September 23, 1880, David Lan disappeared walking in the field in front of his house, allegedly in front of five witnesses, including his family.
The Vanishing Prisoner Diderici of 1815, he was chained to other guards walking in a line and faded in front of everyone.
Yes, people disappear every day, but disappearing in front of other people...now, that's strange. The above stories could be explained through other means, and maybe some are hoaxes. Who knows?

This is scary! I've got to fly in a couple of day. Hope I don't disappear, lol!
It's because future people need reliable bodies beacause theirs are breaking down, so they suck them through time and steal their bodies.
Lots of story potential in these disappearances! Of course, there's a lot of story potential in all your Friday posts!
Spontaneous combustion?
I like Angelina's answer. But don't you think there'd be smoke?
This is very interesting though. So if my editor asks why one of my characters just disappears can refer her to this blog post?
I'm arching a brow like Spock. Fascinating. It truly is.
If memory serves, in certain cases though the individual has disappeared, their voice may continue to be heard - for a while, until that, too, appears to cease.
In those cases not deemed as a hoax, there must be a rational, scientific reason for such an event - even if we don't yet understand the mechanics lol
That is really creepy. The plane one is especially difficult to figure any scientific way it could happen.
David Lang's story was found to be a hoax - a story written by a journalist that was well known for writing "tall tales."
Ever hear of the Bennington Triangle? A bunch of people disappeared between 1920-1950 in Bennington, Virginia.
Interesting. Makes me think of the beginning of a dystopian novel, when the appearances start to become epidemic. Are you using this for inspiration for something?
Um, creeeepy! Cue the X-files music. :)
I like stories like these Miranda. I was always interested in the Bermuda Triangle growing up with all the lost ships and planes--funny how that has sort of stopped now that we have all this neat GPS and tracking technology.
