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 ...?

I saw a film clip of Harry and Charles standing next to each other and Harry looked the spitting image of Charles. The greater mystery to me is why so many people think Will and Harry are so good looking!

Well thank you VERY much MN. Last night I woke up during the night because of a ticking in my room (another mystery ...) and then started thinking about creepy dream man. And couldn't get back to sleep. ARGH

How the hell they got away with making some of the rather rude films involving pubescent girls in the 1970's.

Watched one last night, the little girl who lives down the end of the lane, 13 yr old left to live alone as some social experiment and starts killing people. Creepy guy keeps hanging round (repeatedly drawing attention to her age) lad of about 18 rescues her, they end up bonking (didn't show anything tho ) until later on in the film when afore mentioned boy and a very naked Jodie Foster strip off and jump into bed together

Was actually quite a sweet film, didn't need the sex.

Seems to be loads of em, producers around the world putting there fantasies on screen to bash one out to !

I told this story on a similar thread but will tell it again. in 1980 my late father did a charity trek with a gypsy caravan with a friend to Appelby Horse Fair. They had two horses and my dads border terrier. My dad would walk to the nearest phone box every night to ring my mum. This particular night he returned a different way to the way he went. As he was walking along a country lane Badger (dog) suddenly stopped dead. He was growling savagely and his heckles went up. Dad went and looked in the ditch thinking someone might have fallen in there and could see nothing. He then had to drag Badger all the way back to the caravan. He was still growling when Dad got into bed. Dad got up in the morning at 5.30 and harnessed up the horses. He had forgotten about the previous evening until he got to exactly the same spot and the horses stopped and then started neighing and plunging. Dad struggled for ages till he got them past. He until the day he died couldnt explain what happened at that spot that the animals could sense!!

Ooo I love this thread!

Wonder if anyone in Manchester can help me with something, my uncle and family live in Heywood and I recall being taken to some pond or lake down Heywood Old Road (not sure how far down, looking on a map I can't see any lakes)

But I swear they said there's a village in the lake... Moss... or M... something sounds familiar :S

I lied just zoomed out and saw Daisy Nook...anyone know anything about Daisy Nook?

Jack the Ripper is indeed one of the best mysteries! and one im sure will never be solved 100%.

I think often about Jeramiah Duggan (think that was his name) - the student who went to Germany with some sort of cult who recruited him at uni and something happened that scared him so much that he ran away and trying to escape ran onto the autobahn and was knocked down and killed.

A few hours before he died he rang his mum in England and told her that he was very scared, but didn't say of what.

The German authoritise refuse to investigate it saying it was suicide. So sad.

Gives me goosebumps just thinking of it.

A good list of rumours about the dingo baby case
here

Juneybean - isnt there a village in the Ladybower reservior? Or so I have heard.

No way lol. I've seen a pic of Harry in which he is the spitting image of Charles. It's the red hair, it throws you off the scent I think. Definitely doesn't look like JH.

Ooo yes I think you're right molemesses

also found this too

Not quite as exciting as I had imagined when I was a youngster lol

I've had a few episodes of sleep paralysis, its absolutely terrifying! I didn't see "the hag" but there was an evil "thing" sitting on my pillow talking to me but I have no idea what it was saying

I need to stop reading this thread now, I'm scaring myself!

I'd love to know what happened to Renee MacRae and her son Andrew.

Don't think this case will ever be solved though sadly.

i too have periods where i have sleep paralysis always on waking
very scary

There is definitely a village, or the remains of one, under the Ladybower reservoir. A few years back, during winter, the water got so low that you could see the remains of the church.

I used to have sleep paralysis. Would wake up to hear my then baby DS crying and couldnt move to go to him or wake DH. As he got older I would wake up and hear him opening our front door (we live in a flat)
Thankfully I dont get it anymore.

I think I might have an answer to the £113 million euro millions mystery.
The shop the ticket was bought from is my sisters local shop. She remembers seeing a lottery ticket on the floor, before the numbers came out. She didnt pick it up because she assumed it was an out of date no winning one that had been thrown by a litter bug.
But who knows... Could she have happily strolled past the winning ticket?
She is still kicking herself for not picking it up!

I should add she saw the ticket on the floor in the street.

My son had a dream about Spring Heeled Jack when he was about 6.

He was terrified and described him to us and his name we then googled "Spring Heeled Jack"and shit our pants.

Paul id dead - not so much was he or not - more why did loads of people believe it?

megapixels I think the blood on the baby's jumpsuit was crucial. It suggested that the dingo grabbed the poor baby by the head and carried her away like that. A lot of the pictures associated with the trial focus on the size of a baby's head and the size of a dingo's jaws - people doubting whether a dingo could get a baby's head in its mouth.

These doubts led to Lindy Chamberlain being accused of killing her child by cutting her head off with a pair of scissors.

On the more personal mysteries note I have a few

An old school friend working in Hong Kong suddenly arrived back in our hometown and said he just had the feeling he needed to, an overwhelming feeling to the extent he just left work and booked the next flight he could. He spent the week seeing family and on lots of nights out with friends. He returned home to HK and two days later he died from SAD. He had been perfectly healthy.

There is a bit of a family secret with my uncle, in that he had two children before he met my aunt and abandoned them (the fecker) recently I have been in touch with one of them and she is my absolute twin, in looks, everything. Even how our life has played out. I ind it quite disturbing tbh and so does she. I'll try to find the thread where I posted about it.

I was telling Dh about tthis thread,a dn eh said "why don't you mention that castle in Devon" but not sure if would come under mystery or ghost story.

We were on holiday in Devon and we went to visit a castel, for the life of me I cannot remember the name of it, but it was near Exeter.
We had a wander round the grounds and then went inside for the tour, we went into a room, and I started to feel very uneasy, and I remember grabibng Dh's hand and saying "I don't like this" and he laughed. At the back of the room, through a doorway (I think it was a doorway, it was about 4/5 years ago) and I started to panic, really shaking and my heart was racing, and the guide asked if I was ok.
i said "no, when we walked into the main room i felt odd and when we'd gone into this little room I had felt scared and panicky and didn't like it".

He asked if anyone else felt the same, and another 2 women had put their hands up
He then went on to say that in this little room - either behind the wall, or a door or down some stairs, can't remember - they had found the remains of a mother and baby.
