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 ...?

The Nasca desert in Peru contains ancient versions of crop circles -amazing 'drawings' that can only be seen from the sky. I loved this mystery as a child. I'm blown away by being able to 'see' them myself on Google Earth!

Theres a long running thread on this on Digital Spy, It's all making facsinating reading.

Picnic at Hanging Rock is definitely fiction. Deliberately presented in such a way as to make you wonder, though.

I find this really interesting, about Amelia Earhart. I always thought she just disappeared and that was it, but apparently there is a strong possibility she may have been camping on a desert island post-crash for some time, sending out distress signals. Remains were found in the 1940s but dismissed as unrelated and then lost .

Anyway, it seems that the expedition last year did find some stuff, not sure if they are still testing it or what ... would be fascinating if they solved the mystery after 73 years

Quite glad it's fiction actually, it would have been really scary otherwise!

The film is really spooky, even the music gives me the creeps.

Not long ago, on Danny Baker's Saturday morning show on Five Live, they were discussing how Britain is due a fairly significant earthquake (it goes in fairly long cycles of several hundred years). And apparently, a portent of an earthquake, is increased appearances of fungi, like fairy rings in the grass, toadstools, and fungi on trees.

Anyway, so that day after hearing the show, I went out to the garden to put the guinea pigs out in their run and there, slap-bang in the middle of the lawn in my London town garden, was a fairy ring of toadstools or mushrooms. I have never seen one in my own or anyone else's garden before and I am well over 40 years old.

So thats a bit spooky.

Shiney - no, it wasnt quite the same, sorry

hopkins book coincedence

TDWP - I read that DS thread awhile ago, its where I boomarked a good few sites from. Has taken me weeks to read through them all!

Namey - it is a bumper year for fungi apparently, because of the weather. It's true, they're everywhere.
But I have also heard we're due another big earthquake in the south-east. Hope it doesn't trash my parents' big, old house - they're not far from Colchester where there was one that knocked down a church in 1881 IIRC.

Spring Heeled Jack reminded me of Jux and the werewolf

how interesting re Amelia Earhart!

My db and SIL were working for a Japanese balloonist who disappeared over the Pacific a few years ago. (She did his publicity and DB taught him English so he would be able to communicate with air-traffic controllers when he arrived in the US.) He had a family waiting for him at home .
He completely disappeared, no distress signals, and he had an automatic EPIRB which should have activated when he hit the water and an escape pod he could have floated around in for several months. But no sign, just possible sighting of wreckage but never confirmed.

would be lovely if he was on an island somewhere....

I recall reading about hoofed prints being found in the snow many years ago, the trail went over rooftops, it was really odd!

Found this:
www.abovetopsecret.com/forum/thread151191/pg1

Shiney's story reminds me of the poet Simon Armitage finding one of his own signed editions for sale in a charity shop. Inside the cover was his handwriting: "With love to Mum and Dad"

Hoof prints on rooftops could be santa's reindeer.

But seeing as how goats can scale practically vertical walls it's not beyond the realms of possibility that they simply climbed up there

missing Japanese balloonist

I rather love the way there are adverts for hot air balloon gift experiences on the same page

Renee MacRae and her son Andrew although this mystery looks like it's getting close to being solved.

I thought the hoofprints were a little mousey thing that jumped with its feet together making it look like a hoof-shape? Hence the going up walls.

that Come Back Lucy story is great. The fact it's a spooky book makes it even better.

ben needham
madeline mccann [i live near the mccanns so its something i think about alot]
bermuda triangle

I saw that unsolved prog about Renee Macrae dylthan, didn't they think the dad of her son kill them both?

The prog makers confronted him, but he wasn't having any of it.

Has something come to light recently?
