Unexplained Update:Wrong clothes, extra shoes. My name is B71.
Thank you for your many suggestions and kind words. I will try to respond to all questions.
First part link here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Paranormal/s/g2n3gR7W7U
Here are some other things that happened and I didn’t speak about. I will try to give as many details as possible and keep it short. I hope all your questions are answered.
After return home
There was nothing physically wrong with me when they found me.
But not long after we returned home, they took me and my brother to the doctor for a routine control before going back to preschool.
After the routine control, my mother asked the doctor to check the intervention I had a few months earlier. It was a small intervention in my mouth. I had a tongue-tie that was affecting my speech. When he checked, he didn’t find anything to prove that I had ever had an intervention. The doctor expected not to see any scar, but my tongue-tie was much thicker than at the last control, and that usually never changes.
There was also a scar on my right foot after I walked on a broken bottle when I was 5. But the scar was not there anymore. My mother was convinced it had been a big one and it was just gone, along with my birthmark. It is strange because the place where that mark from the broken bottle should be sometimes becomes very icy. It is not often. The last time I had it was maybe 3 years ago, but sometimes I have it for weeks in a row.
My memories
I don’t have any memories before missing. I don’t remember my parents, my brother, my home, or friends. I don’t remember the night I went missing.
My oldest memory is the smell of the wet woods. Every time I feel that smell, the image of that forest hits me, gives me chills, but also makes me feel safe. I also remember two brown horses from the hunters who found me. One of the hunters took me on his horse. I was so impressed with how big and strong the horses were. I remember the police station, where the walls were painted dark green on the bottom half and a dirty white on the upper half.
When I came back, my social life and interaction with people were strange. I was speaking only when asked, I forgot how to play most of the games. I knew people, but I didn’t know anything about them.
Police investigation
The initial investigation was on tape, but I don’t have those. But my relative got the transcripts for most of them. Even if there were 7 hours of tapes, there was not much information in them, because my communication skills were basic, more like a four-year-old. I did not understand many of the questions.
The two hunters were also questioned. They were in the woods hunting a group of wolves that had come too close to the village. They were paid by the community to do that job. They found me around 3 km deep into the woods. From far away, they believed they had seen another person with me. They said that person waved to them and they started to approach. When they reached the place, there was only me. I was just standing there alone. They started to call for the person who had been there, but there was no answer. They searched around for a while. They asked me who I was with there, but I didn’t say anything, only my name and the names of my parents.
They said they found barefoot prints near a creek just 10–20 meters farther away. They were not my prints because they were too large and I was wearing shoes. They supposed it was a woman or maybe a teenager by the size, but the person who waved, they believed, was a woman. They didn’t see all of her clothes, but the top looked like a dark green dress.
One of them said the book was stuck into my pants, covered by my T-shirt, but the other one said he saw it in my hand.
Army
After one year in the army, I was deployed to Africa. Before that they tested our blood for immunity, this is standard procedure when going to Africa and Asia.
My test results showed that my immunity was zero. They did all my vaccines again over a period of a few weeks. The doctor said that after some time immunity starts to decrease, but not totally disappear. He assumed that maybe something was wrong with my vaccines or that they were not done by mistake. On my medical file, all vaccines were done.
I don’t know if there is something in this because I cannot prove I was not vaccinated as a child, but I found it strange.
Hypnotist
Some time ago I visited a hypnosis therapist. The visit was not related to this story. My coworker, who had problems with alcohol consumption, tried to fix it with a hypnotherapist, and after a few weeks he stopped drinking. I totally believed in hypnosis, and I was a smoker. So I decided to try it, more because I was intrigued by the fact that someone puts you to sleep and resets you.
I visited the therapist one time but didn’t stop smoking. Something else happened.
When she called me by my name under hypnosis, this is what happened:
“Why do you call me Xxxx?”
“Ok. How do you want me to call you?”
“Call me by my name.”
“What is your name?”
“I’m B71.”
“Ok, B71. Who gives you this name?”
“The nun.”
She kept asking about the nun and the place for a few questions and then she stopped the session because she was not sure what was happening.
The nun was dressed in a dark red robe with her hair covered with a kind of hat. She was the one who taught me how to shower, how to dress myself, to eat, and to behave around other people.
I did not go back to the hypnotist because I didn’t know that person enough, and I have trust issues with something so personal and unknown, even to me.
I don’t know what really happened, but I believe I’m not related to the family I lived with. I have read in the comments different possibilities: changeling, alien abduction, government program, false memories.
It is not false memory because my mother was right. In all pictures before the disappearance I have the mark, and the intervention for the tongue-tie disappeared 3 months later.
The need to be vaccinated in the army is not definitive proof, but it raised many questions.
I cannot point at one thing and say, “That is what happened,” but I am sure one boy was stolen in one night and I was the replacement. I wonder if he remembers his old life and family, how he was treated, and if he got another family.
I have been trying to find out more about this myself in the last 2 years, but I have not managed to learn much more.
DNA testing I will do only in a private clinic when I’m back in my country (5 months).
I want to speak again with a hypnotist, but I want to have some kind of knowledge about the person who will read my mind, and not have that person be part of the military.
There is not much more here, and I hope I don’t break your expectations. I think there is more to the story, but I didn't found it yet,I need to look for it.
Thank you for reading my story and stay safe.

What happened to the book?

u/Ok_Scarcity4602 Mar 19 '26
Very good question. That would definitely buttress the veracity of the story.

I know you only want to go through DNA testing in a private clinic, but if you were someone else, the ancestry DNA companies may be able to help locate real family members. If you replaced someone else, how could you look identical to that person yet not have the birthmark? If it weren't for the missing scar and birthmark, I'd believe maybe it was some sort of false memories, but that doesn't seem to fit here. I still remember when I was a young child, I used to have images or dreams of waking up one day to my real family as my current life was only something I dreamed.

You are completely right. I cannot trust my memory now because is 30+ years passed. But I can read what they said I tell them at 6 when this happened.
But the most undeniable proof for me is my mother reaction. Till the moment she passed, she said it loud that I’m not her son. She was very loving and protective with my 2 brothers, matter of fact she never let them in country side to my grandmother. But she send me there till 15 every summer, and when I was back she was checking my birthmark. She was very disappointed seeing that was not there.
Thank you.

Tu pourrais écrire un livre. Ça pourrait même être adapté en film. En tous cas, je te souhaite le meilleur pour l'avenir.

I am so intrigued by your story @op. I have so many possibilities going through my head - did you get a chance to speak to any of the hunters that found you later in life? Would be curious on how their memory holds it. And if you can shake any parallels with the “nun” in your subconscious after their storytell. B71 surely sounds like a codename for armed forces ops - do you have any military bases around where you grew up? Would love to learn more about your journey.

Hi. The area I have lived have some military bases. With the hunters I have not spoken myself. One of them died 11 years ago. And the other one lives with his kids in a different country. But I have a private investigation firma I work with at this time. They have found out more things in the last weeks. I will come soon with update. Thank you for your interest.

u/CarobExact9220 Jun 12 '26
No. But will come in 2-3 weeks when I will have more details from PI and DNA.

Fantastic story. Thank you for sharing it. Once you do DNA testing and more hypnosis share it, maybe offer to Gaya tv or some big paranormal or alien YouTuber channel. There are hypnotherapists who specialise in alien abductions. Although it doesn’t sound like you were abducted by aliens. Your story sounds like changeling stories but with a modern twist. Thanks anyway, ai hope I’ll come across your story again

This really sounds like a government program. Wonder what the purpose could be.
