"It was like we were in a dream."

As mysteriously and suddenly as the 300+ individuals disappeared, almost over night, every single one was reported found. Most were found at home, disoriented but in good health. Others were found in what is believed to be their last known location. Eyewitness testimony from some said they heard the happy laughter of a child, which led them to find the missing individuals.
However, despite all being found, there is still much mystery left to the reasoning behind the mysterious disappearance. One of the victims, Coletta Esposito, stated that it felt very much like a dream to them. 
"First I was planning on visiting a friend, then I suddenly got dizzy and was in this strange manor. I remember feeling a bit like it was my home, but then I realized it wasn't. It was very strange, very dream like. And then, I remember feeling a wash of anger, and everything went black. Next thing I knew I was back at home."
Many other victims expressed similar stories but preferred to remain anonymous. The majority, however, have nearly zero recollection of the time while they were missing, many expressing unease when even trying to remember. Some even outright refuse to admit that they went missing in the first place, and simply wish to never be asked about it again.
Authorities have little explanation to give from their investigations. With the lack of clear concise details, and the inconsistency with many stories, they struggle to establish who, or what, kidnapped them. One local psychologist, Adel Segreti, offered a suggestion in a form of mass hysteria. 
"Recent news among the populace has been rather tense. Rumors of demon attacks and fanatical responses have caused mental strain on many minds. In that same vein, while not common public knowledge, the mysterious chain of Coletta disappearances is a common cold case to come up. It is possible that this, in conjunction with the current state of affairs between the State, the Vatican, and other organizations, caused this."
Segreti went on to suggest that while this was a hypothesis, they still didn't have a trigger event that could of caused them all to experience such an escape simultaneously, nor explanation as to why they all shared similar descriptions of what they saw before.
"In the end, the best thing for these people is to forget that it ever happened and to be happy that they are back with their families. Many parents can rest easy tonight knowing that their children are finally home where they belong."
Authorities have issued an official statement requesting any evidence as to what caused such a disappearance be provided should it exist. Unfortunately, there are not all happy endings to this, as unlike the mass disappearance, the ones who disappeared prior to this mass event were, in fact, not found. Us here at Corriere Della Sera extend our heartfelt apologies to those families who have lost loved ones, and will provide an update to this story should one be reported.
