Lost Brothers of the Alleghenies

We present the story of the Cox children - two brothers who went missing in the mountains of Pennsylvania in 1856. Thousands of people searched for the young boys for weeks until a man named Jacob Dibert dreamed of their location. Decades later, Jacob’s son dreamed of the location of another missing woman - and, shockingly, his grandson dreamed of the location of yet another missing person.
