In the summer of 2017, 25-year-old Lisa Theris was hanging out with two men when she suddenly woke up naked, without her glasses, and alone in the Alabama woods. She was considered legally blind without her glasses and ended up being missing for a total of 28 days. She had lost approximately 40 pounds. She survived by eating mushrooms, berries, and drinking any water she could, and using a walking stick to guide herself through the forest. She was eventually found on the side of the road, with her body covered in bug bites, scratches, and poison ivy. She was immediately rushed to the hospital where she made a full recovery.
