The Disappearance: Conspiracy, Revolution, Revelation. The Extraordinary Disappearance of Steven Kubacki

The Extraordinary Disappearance of Steven Kubacki

A vanished man. A 15-month mystery. The memoir that defies explanation—and finally speaks.

In 1978, Steven Kubacki vanished from the Lake Michigan shoreline without a trace. Fifteen months later, he reappeared—disoriented, in different clothes, and with no memory of what happened. For 45 years, Kubacki remained silent. But now, in this long-awaited memoir, the man behind one of the world’s most mysterious disappearances tells his story.

The Disappearance is a mind-bending account of reality, identity, and what it means to come back from the unknown. With raw honesty and philosophical depth, Kubacki explores his past as a rebellious student, his disappearance in the so-called “Michigan Triangle,” and his journey to make sense of a vanished chapter of his life—one filled with spiritual visions, interdimensional theories, and a quest for truth that stretches far beyond the boundaries of science and reason.

The most mysterious case you’ve never fully heard—until now. If you've followed the Reddit threads, seen the TikToks, or watched the YouTube videos—this is the story behind them all. Straight from the source.

Inside, you’ll find:

  • Kubacki’s full, never-before-shared narrative of his disappearance and return, including events he’s never told the media.
  • Explorations of memory loss, trauma, and identity, through the lens of both science and spiritual transformation.
  • Shocking reflections on the Michigan Triangle, conspiracy theories, and what Kubacki believes really happened to him.

If you liked The Redemption of Bobby Love, Moral Man, or Con/Artist, then you’ll love The Disappearance.

About the Author

Steven Kubacki, PhD, is a clinical psychologist, theologian, and former academic whose name became internationally known after his mysterious disappearance near Lake Michigan in 1978. After vanishing without a trace for 15 months, Kubacki reappeared with no memory of the lost time—an event that has fueled decades of speculation, conspiracy theories, and viral internet fascination.

Despite media attention, Kubacki remained silent about his disappearance for over four decades. Now, in his long-awaited memoir, he offers a firsthand account of the mystery that captivated millions. Drawing from his professional background in psychology, Kubacki examines his own experience through scientific, philosophical, and metaphysical lenses.

He is also the co-author of Meta-Mathematical Foundations of Existence, a theoretical exploration of mathematics, consciousness, and cosmology.

He currently resides in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
