Which Real Life Mystery Do You Find Most Fascinating?

[LifeIsBrutal]

Mine is D. B. Cooper. He hijacked a beong 727, stole $1.25 million in today's money, and parachuted down to earth with it. His identity is unknown and it's unknown if he survived the plunge to earth.

Human error possibly. I don't think the nature of the mistake was ever revealed, just that there had been once. But the corrected weight was too high for the usual route so it seems pretty likely he was inside it.

I do wonder if he was conscious and how alert he was in those final moments. I really hope for his sake he was comatose from alcohol and not aware of what was happening. It's just really awful.

It reminds me in a way of another story, the death of Kendrick Johnson in the US who died when he got stuck inside a gym mat. They believe he had stored his shoes inside a vertically rolled-up gym mat, tried to reach in or kind of shimmy himself inside to retrieve them and fell inside and was asphyxiated. But his family were convinced he had been assaulted and murdered, although all the evidence seems to suggest it was a horrible freak accident.

The Mystery of the Somerton Man is another I'd like to know the answer to, although it's probably quite mundane. But it's really weird!

I don't think the JonBenet case is really a mystery........

As another poster said - the case of jonbenet (available on YouTube) is an eye opener. There was never an intruder in that case. A family situation that went tragically wrong and was covered up by the parents.

@Pootle40 totally agree. The brother lashed out after she ate his pineapple and the parents decided not to lose both their children and so covered it up. Seems to be very plausible.

The mandela effect freaks me out.
In my reality it was definitely
Mirror Mirror on the wall.
Jim Carrey only had one r in his name.
It was looney toons not Looney Tunes.

Yes to mirror and Looney Toons, tho maybe it's pronounced toons. What about mirror mirror?!

They never found Corrie in the landfill because they didn’t look for ages due to assurances about the lorry weight not being enough. It was ages before they started looking and I guess so much rubbish had been dumped up on top it’s like the proverbial needle in a haystack. So sad for his family.

It seemed to me from the start that the obvious answer was that the scales weren’t accurate. He didn’t come out on foot as wasn’t on cctv and he didn’t fly out.

In snow white when the wicked Queen says.
Mirror Mirror on the wall. Apparently, It's now magic mirror on the wall.

Magic mirror my arse.

No, always mirror mirror in the story.

It's Magic Mirror in the Disney film but has been Mirror Mirror in a lot of other adaptations and re-tellings.

Isn’t that just what used to be called “mistaken” in the olden days?

Pootle40 but what about the DNA found on her underwear that doesn’t match any member of the family or any of the registered sex offenders?
I also think that patsy might have known what happened , I remember when she died someone said that the truth is now buried with her,

I shouldn’t have read this thread so late at night

I think the death of Peter Bergmann is fascinating. Who was he, and what was in the purple bags?

Mh370. Lord Lucan. The dead spy in the bag.

Samtsirch, I have a friend who runs an animal sanctuary in the middle of nowhere up north. She's seen two distinctly big cat looking creatures. She mentioned this to an ex police inspector turned animal warden she's on very good terms with.

He told her that she was probably not imagining things. He'd encountered more than one big cat over the years he'd been a police officer and was in no doubt of their existence.

Another friend, this one in a Fenland village, saw something akin to a big cat in the hedgerow of a crop field which borders her edge of the village house and garden. She said nothing about it to anyone but her DH and me. She's very honest and truthful so I've no reason to doubt her.

Especially since a 2 family group who'd been out walking in that very same area reported a day or two later on the village Facebook page that they had seen what looked like a big cat in the hedgerow of the crop farm at the edge of the village!

@queenofarles

trace DNA. Could even be from the manufacturing. The sample was tiny. If you watch that documentary the staging of the 911 call; the letter; the dad finding and moving the body; the pineapple in the stomach.....it is extremely telling.

@queenofarles one documentary suggested the underwear was brand new, never washed and that the amount of dna on it could have been left by the factory packer 🤷🏻‍♀️

Ha. I always thought it was Looney Toons, as in a play on the word cartoons. I would have sworn it. How weird!

Crossed post @Pootle40

JonBenet's father had to be stopped from taking the family off on his private jet just hours after his child's body was found.

John (the father) "discovered" her body in the cellar, his friend Fleet White was with him and he says John shouted "Oh my God!" before he turned the light on, therefore how could he have seen the body? They are not friends any more.

Re Jon Benet, what kidnapper sits down in the house to pen a rambling eight page thesis using a notepad and pen he found there? And cites the precise figure which had just been paid as a bonus? Something really weird about that whole case.

And the author actually wrote two notes - the first was found crossed out and thrown in the bin!
