Mysteries that intrigue you?

[maduggar]

I love reading about unsolved mysteries, they fascinate me!

Here are a few of my faves ...

sommerton man

- this one has noise!

the Beaumont children - imagine 3 of your children going mising :(

What are yours? Stonhenge, UFOs, The Kennedeys ...?

Housemum, yeah that is really weird, maybe you have mutant slugs which have had their guts replaced with the gut of a human being, hence they slime in and steal your chocolate to satisfy their ungodly cravings.

it just goes to show that you should never tamper with nature.

Just reading about Prince Albert/Jack the Ripper connection - interesting stuff!

Oh that is a lot of booze I understand now.

Bloody fools not taking oars with them ffs. Why didn't they all paddle simultaneously, or lassoo a passing flock of birds a la James and the Giant Peach?

Idiots.

I would give anything to visit that museum....

Do you reckon if i joined the force i could go or do you have to be high up?

Brady is still alive unfortunately.

I found the lighthouse story the freakiest

they probably did have oars, just couldn't row fast enough to keep up with a ship in sail. There may have been a storm that frayed the rope.

If you think that's stupid, some friends of my dh's were sailing the Atlantic and decided to go for a swim in a calm. They trailed a rope and jumped in then discovered that the boat was, in fact, moving at 2 knots.

fortunately one of them managed to grab the rope as the boat went past them....

Jesus

Thats liek that film, where they went for a swim but didnt put the ladder down so couldnt get back onto the boat, an dthere was a baby onboard crying? Has anyoen else seen that? Think it was based on a true story.

I have seen that film. There was a baby on board. I can't remember the name of it or if it was true. All but one of the adults (babys mum) died iirc?

Not an unsolved mystery as such but King's Close in Edinburgh is terrifying. (Mary King's Close)

The City Fathers decided to seal all the people in to stop the plague spreading and everybody died slowly.
Sadly, it has been turned into a tourist attraction.

Mary King's Close

I've been there, sugar! It's pretty good as tourist attractions go, not tacky at all.

I don't think I could watch that film!

Another unexplained mystery - a Caribbean politician, William Herbert from St Kitts, disappeared on a boat in the Bermuda Triangle and Bermuda Triangle geeks thinks this is more proof of triangle weirdness. (He was my mum's boyfriend back in the 60s, before she met my dad, which is why I know.) However the fact that he was a politician and had allegedly been involved with drug barons or fighting against them depending on who you believe, may suggest a non-supernatural explanation....

Oh Mary King's Close! I was hugged by a ghost there! Was blimmin freaky, esp as I don't think I believe in ghosts.

Why the shower in my house is sometimes running full pelt when I come home. You can't open the door with it running, or the floor would get wet. Which it never is...

Or the tiny handprints that appeared on the wall of the hallway one day. I told dd off for putting her sticky hands on there, she said 'mummy, I didn't do it' and proceeded to show me that they were not the same size as her hands anyway....

The film's Open Water 2 I didn't think much to it, possibly because of the playing on the baby being on their own and crying, and what expensive boat wouldn't have an easily accessible ladder?

You have a haunted shower?

Sarahstratton, I honestly don't know what makes it come on, it's fine when I leave the house!

Didn't they do a second autopsy on JonBenet, that showed taser marks?

The Kremlin UFO was spooky

The shower could be an electrical fault, worth getting it checked over?

I know a few prison guards, and they are very sceptical about Myra Hindley's death. They think she was released with a new identity.
A bit like Mary Bell. Wonder where she is?

The shower has a tap-like handle, so it has to be turned to stop/start the water. I get a wet arm every time it happens (and a wet floor!) when I have to open the shower door to turn it off.

You obviously have a very dirty ghost [hwink]
