Mumsnet Mysteries

[HowDairy]

Cue spooky music...

Is there anything you've read on here that's stuck with you, or you'd like to get to the bottom of?
I'd like to know what happened to the two Microsoft laptops which were delivered to a MN's daughter I think a week or two ago?
Also the woo one about the missing clock chains.

What are your unsolved MN mysteries?

@NigelHarmansNewWife i too wonder about the listed building. I think there was also a possibility of structural issues as a result of the neighbours actions.

Oh I remember this one!

I loved that but heard it was all made up.

Upselling steak-cut chips and wine! Funny what sticks in the mind.

Came on to say about this one too! Where did it vanish to! Did she find it? Wonder if the OP will read this and put us out of our misery.

Steak cut chips with your steak, anyone? 😆 I forgot about that one. And Kevin the manager. I think that was his name...

Aaron!

That Boswell, I hope he tripped down those post office steps

Years ago when there was a huge Euromillions jackpot, a woman posted asking whether she should spend all of her savings (tens of thousands of pounds) on lottery tickets. People explained clearly to her about how the number of tickets she could buy would still give her little chance of winning, but she really seemed quite convinced that this was her one shot at having enough money to live on comfortably and seemed to be leaning towards doing it - even asking other posters not to buy tickets as that would lessen her winnings. She sounded quite frantic.

I occasionally think of her and wonder if she did it. I hope not.

Aaron? Wonder why I thought it was Kev. 😄

Oh yes Boswell. My goodness that was an anti-climax.

The converted mill haunted office thread was brilliant, @FedUpToTheBackTooth — quite certain it was entirely fictional, but it was well and perfectly plausibly written, realistically-paced and quite low-key, so I was perfectly happily along for the ride… Much more engaging than the demon voices of Savernake Forest or the pissed-off-looking nightclub ghost.

I have no idea whether I just lost track or it was deleted…? Quite a number of years ago, I think, because I’m pretty sure I was breastfeeding.

Definitely the crows one...

Birdie Friend, the haunted badge. Come back plombear and update!

@CarmelaBrunella thank you so much!

😘

@CarmelaBrunella aww that's so lovely to see the conclusion of that story complete with photos too!
Thanks for linking.

I have no idea what half of these posts relate to but intriguing all the same, so many unsolved mysteries 😅

I remember ghost spirit very well, I think she may have lived near me at the time. I hope she got stuff sorted.

I hope crow poster is going about her daily life not realising the hubbub she still causes. One of my user names was didthecrowseather at one point! But I suspect the crows got her.

The garden door poster was a troll apparently (or I've read on other threads)

Everyone said that was a troll too, it went to three threads and got more outlandish! Hard to tell though.

YES!!

Spooky garden music was solved! I assumed the OP had her thread deleted because she was all over the national media i the following days 👻

OP had an ironing board that simply vanished. No-one else living there , no-one else had keys

Thanks for the link @Garlictest.
Why the weird munsnet message when it was deleted?

A poster called Legs (longer username but was shortened to Legs).
Her DH left her for a younger woman (who sounded awful and smug). She used to post every evening, for probably around 12 months, it helped her to get through it.
She started dating someone but called it off, if I recall, but stayed friends. She updated the tread on her kids each at different stages in life, starting uni, A levels, etc
But still often mentioning the exH and her feelings about that.
She literally posted every night. I often commented on her thread too. I'd read the update every day.
Then she stopped one night. Never came back. Ever. I always think of her
