50 Of The Most Interesting Mysteries That Still Baffle People

For those who don’t know, the Devil’s Kettle Falls are the bane of my existence. They are located in Cook County, MN. It’s a waterfall that splits into two streams as it comes over a wall of rock - one stream goes into the river connected to the falls, and the other stream falls directly into a hole in the rocks and disappears. Scientists have dropped all kinds of things down there like ping pong b***s, dyes, etc. and tracked surrounding water sources like lakes and rivers to see if the stuff turns up and it never does. The theory about the water ending up in the Great Lakes is a good theory, but it hasn’t been proven.

The hydrologists that claimed they “solved” it were just looking at water levels in the stream and in Lake Michigan, and their explanation for all of the things that’s been dropped into the falls and never resurfaced is “well the current is really strong it probably just disintegrated everything”? Hundreds of plastic items? Disintegrated?

The date keeps getting pushed back with more controversial discoveries that then just turn to evidence as they pile up. It’s a fascinating story to see unfold.

My buddy was hiding from a hail storm and found a bottle hidden behind rocks in a crevice. (Coordinates - 40.551740,-111.643867 near a utah ski resort) This bottle was last manufactured in the 70’s and all the notes were distressed

In the bottle, he found these weird maps of UCLA campus highlighting entrences with swasticas, and cryptic letters all linked to a guy named Alfred Alder. What are these notes? Is there hidden n**i gold? Why was this hidden in bottles?!

It has around 2,000 families, there are something around 250 sets of twins legally recorded there. And , there could be a lot more While the national average of twin births is not more than 9 in 1000 births, in Kodinhi, the number is as h**h as 45 in 1000 births.

There was a huge civilization in northern India and Pakistan around 3300-1300 BC. It spanned more area than any other civilization at the time. They invented writing independently, something only done 5-6 times in history. But to this day, with all the thousands of inscriptions we have and all the documented contact with other civilizations, we haven’t deciphered their writing. There’s no known Rosetta Stone, no known descendant scripts, no known documentation of the language other than what is written in the Indus Valley script.

But the biggest mystery isn’t how to read the script or what it says, but the question of whether we’ll ever be able to know. Is it even possible to decipher a language we know absolutely nothing about?

At the end of March a man in a blue 2000’s Chevy pulled up to our house while we were outside messing with our garden. He got out and placed this framed photo on a set of rocks about 100 yards away, up by our mailbox. He didn’t acknowledge us, he didn’t care that we watched him do it he didn’t even look at us. We live on the Missouri/Illinois border there is no terrain like this around us. This woman is not in our extended family when the frame was opened it was found to contain another photo of that same man with a child on his lap (most likely his daughter). This man didn’t have a license plate. We thought it was incredibley strange seeing how we have no idea who any of these people are and our family has lived in house house for 23 years. It’s a bit strange. I hope it’s a vacation photo of some kind, but I don’t know. The woman in this photo looks to be in her 30s-40s, while the photo itself looks to be taken in the 70s-80s. Let me know what you think.

In 1976, residents of the small city south of Columbus Ohio began receiving handwritten sinister and graphic letters. Each letter included secret and dark details about their personal lives.

One resident received a ton of letters, accusing her of various unsavory acts. The resident was horrified and tried to keep the letters a secret until her husband began receiving them. The attacks on the family continued, with large posters appearing around town spreading rumors about their 12-year-old child. One day in 1977, the husband left the house after receiving a call from who he thought was writing the letters. A few minutes later, the husband was found dead at the end of the street dead behind the wheel. The letters began once again, this time accusing the sheriff of covering up the true nature of the death.

The harassment continued, this time with signs along the road and in 1983, the original resident who had been accused of having an affair pulled over to remove a sign. During the effort to remove the sign, she discovered a box was attached and inside of it was a small pistol. The gun was part of a booby trap designed to fire when the sign was removed.

The letter writing continued even after Paul Freshour, the registered owner of the gun was put in jail. In a new batch of letters, the author had promised to dig up the grave of a deceased baby and mail the bones to the police in the case of another potential affair turned m****r.

Hundreds of residents continued to receive personal letters until 1994 when everything stopped.

Was found to have had her eyes, heart, brain, and other organs missing when her body was returned to her family. It is believed that police or hospital staff sold her organs to traffickers.

The highly bizarre, creepy, and mysterious 3 day lived syracuse, ny based pirate tv station, lucky 7. It was hosted by unknown men wearing gas masks broadcasting films such as deep throat.

All known records of the city's early history date from the 5th or 6th century BC at the earliest (which doesn’t help the usual foundation date of 753 BC) and all of the foundation myths are exactly that, stories. All we know with any certainty is that Rome was ruled by kings at some point in its early history. But we don’t know who founded Rome; if it really was by a Romulus type figure or if it was multiple villages that eventually merged into a single town. Even with the latter possibility, it’s unknown when those communities would have considered themselves as a single town or when they decided to call it ‘Rome’.

These civilizations were massively depopulated, their palaces and cities were destroyed or abandoned, and some transformed into small, isolated village cultures or nomadic herders. The Greek Linear B script was lost, and there is no written record of the following period of Greek history, meaning that Greeks of the time were probably illiterate.

This rapid decline affected - to one extent or another - major historical powers like Mycenaean Greece, New Kingdom Egypt, the Hittite Empire, and Assyria, among others.

And we don't know why it happened.

These were sprawling, thriving civilizations, with healthy economies, elaborate trade networks, complex bureaucracy, written language, and large-scale agriculture, and they just...died. For some reason. There are plenty of theories, of course, but ultimately there's no conclusive evidence that tells the story of how the Bronze Age collapsed into the intermediate period that preceded the Iron Age.

No one ever jump out of plane. They threw 20% of the highjacked money and a parachute out of the plane. He simply took off his wings, put on sunglasses and sat in the jump seat, next to accomplice. The Flight Attendant, who racked with guilt became a Nunn.

She was unalived in the early morning at a church that she taught yoga at. Security footage from the church showed the murderer roaming the halls of the church all night, but that’s not what’s weird. What’s weird is that the murderer was dressed head to toe in police riot gear. It is the weirdest and eeriest video footage and is just unsettling. There’s lots of theories, but her m****r has never been solved and I believe there hasn’t even been a real suspect in the case.

They're the forty year old twin sisters from Sweden, who became front page news in the UK in 2008 when they repeatedly ran into traffic on the M6 motorway. A day or two later one of them, Sabina, stabbed a man to death in his home for no apparent reason. She fled the house, striking herself on the head with a hammer as she ran to a highway bridge. She jumped off, falling 12m and landing on a highway. She survived, with several fractures.

I've heard the audio from a tv news crew who happened to capture part of the M6 incident and just can't forget one of them yelling at her sister about how "they'll steal your organs". Whatever happened to them was intense, sudden and largely unprecedented.

A gift from the crows, or a melted chunk of space debris? It appears to be made of rubber, about the size and weight of a baseball and has 4 wires sticking out if it.

In 1987, the hands of deceased Argentine president Juan Peron were cut off of his body and stolen from his tomb along with his cap and sword. Members of his political party received a ransom note requesting money for their return. Six men were arrested and five arraigned, but no charges were made against anyone. His hands are still lost and no person has still been charged.

One of the most enduring mysteries in human history is the disappearance of the ancient Maya civilization. The Maya were a highly advanced civilization that flourished in Central America for hundreds of years before mysteriously disappearing in the 9th century. Despite extensive archaeological research, we still don't know exactly what caused the downfall of the Maya or why their civilization collapsed.
