26-year-old missing in Ba Vi national park

- HN - A 26 years old German is said to be missing in Ba Vi national park, Ha Tay province. His landlady in Hanoi says he left the house on Sunday morning for the hills and has not come back since. Police could only recover his photo camera on a little frequented trail in the forests of Ba Vi. Beside some pictures documenting an obviously fun motobike ride to the hills and stunning panoramas, there is also a videoclip on it.



The scene ressembles footage found in a recovered film camera in 1999 near the small town Blair/Maryland. It was supposedly taken by a group of teenagers who wanted to spot the ominous "Witch of Blair" and
eventually disappeared in the forests. They have not reappeared since.

There have been regular reports of dissappearances in the woods around Ba Vi mountain. Locals believe the woods are roamed by the ghost of national hero Ho Chi Minh protecting them from over-curious tourists. They worship Mr Ho in a temple on the mountain
top.

The head of the provincial police has ordered an intensive investigation in the forests of Ba Vi which are now closed to visitors due to the incident. The affair has revived talks in the capital about Mr Ho being
still alive. Our news service will keep you in the loop about the issue. (MF)
