Christopher Kerze, 17, Stayed Home From School On April 20th, 1990, Complaining Of A Headache

His mom came home later to find him gone and a note explaining that he’d be back later, if he didn’t get “lost” (which was underlined twice). He has never been found.

Chechem Tree And The Chaka Tree

I’m not sure if you’d call this ‘unsolved’ or frankly even solvable. But there are two trees found in parts of Central America, called the Chechem tree and the Chaka tree. The Chechem tree’s bark has a p****n that is so strong that just by touching the bark (or its sap of course) your skin will begin to numb. The cure to this exact p****n lies in its sister tree, the Chaka. And as if that wasnt enough all on its own, whats more they are Always found to be right next to each other in nature. There is a Mayan myth that comes with these trees that they are from two brothers that fought each other over the love of a woman, but they ended up unaliving each other, and the woman, Nicte-Ha, died of heartbreak. One of the brothers, Kinich, was kind and caring, and thus became the Chaka tree. The other brother, Tizic, was cold-hearted and arrogant, and became the Chechem tree. Poisons and cures found in nature are of course a reality in many different instances, but the fact that these trees are right next to each other in nature, and provide exactly opposite effects, is pretty crazy.

Invention Of Bread

I would really like to know how bread was invented. Which madman looked at a field of wheat and thought to themselves: ‘If we dry it and ground it, mix it with water, pound it into a ball and place it in a warm box for a while, it could be really delicious.’

And don’t get me started on yeast.

Monarch Butterfly

So the Monarch Butterfly migrates to Mexico and back every year. During the year there are a full 4 generations of butterflies that live and die during the journey. Upon returning back from Mexico, the butterfly manages to find the same trees it’s relative started out at despite never having been there.

The Voynich Manuscript – Still Unreadable After 600+ Years

I’ve recently done a deep dive into one of the most persistent unsolved mysteries in history: the Voynich Manuscript. It’s a book that has fascinated cryptographers, linguists, historians, and conspiracy theorists alike for over a century. Here’s a full breakdown of what we actually know, the main theories, and why none have held up to serious scrutiny so far.

What is the Voynich Manuscript?

Discovered in 1912 by rare book dealer Wilfrid Voynich in a Jesuit college in Italy, the manuscript is written in an entirely unknown script and illustrated with bizarre images. It’s been carbon-dated to around 1404–1438. The pages contain:

Unidentified plants (none matching known species). Astrological diagrams with suns, moons, and zodiac symbols. Biological imagery, including naked women bathing in green liquid and connected by strange tubes. Pharmaceutical-like illustrations showing jars and roots.Long passages of continuous text with paragraph markers, but no recognizable words or syntax. It’s currently housed in the Beinecke Rare Book & Manuscript Library at Yale University.

The Ibadan Forest Of Horror In Nigeria. A Local Taxi Driver Goes Missing And His Friends Create A Makeshift Search Party And Investigate A Forest

Instead of finding their friend, they find an abandoned school (or factory) that have the remnants of a hellish t*****e/m****r, ritual k*****g and human trafficking. 8 survivors were rescued. Numerous body parts, rotting corpses and personal artifacts were found. The perpetrators were never found – although local politicians and ritualists were suspects.Whilst this discovery is disturbing, the mystery for me is that the original taxi driver – still hasn’t been found.

Three Men Vanished From A Yacht In 2007 – Engine Running, Food On Table, No Trace Ever Found

I want to share a real mystery from 2007 that still has no clear answer. It happened in Australia, and some people call it the modern “Mary Celeste.”

What Happened?

On April 15, 2007, three men—Derek Batten (56), and brothers Peter (69) and James Tunstead (63)—left Airlie Beach, Queensland, on a 9.8-meter catamaran named Kaz II. They planned to sail around northern Australia to Western Australia. On April 18, a helicopter spotted Kaz II drifting near the Great Barrier Reef. When authorities boarded the boat on April 20, they found it abandoned under strange conditions:

The engine was running. A laptop was on and working. Food and cutlery were set on the table. A newspaper was open on the floor. All safety equipment, including life jackets, was still on board. One sail was badly torn. The anchor was up, and a small dinghy was secured at the stern. There were no signs of struggle or foul play. The men’s wallets and personal items were untouched. No distress signal had been sent. Despite extensive searches, no trace of the men was ever found.

Here’s A Very Interesting Mystery From The Late 70’s That Hardly Anybody Has Ever Talked About

The highly bizarre, creepy, and mysterious 3 day lived syracuse, ny based pirate tv station, lucky 7. It was hosted by unknown men wearing gas masks broadcasting films such as deep throat.

A Man Dropped Off Photos Of People I’ve Never Seen At My House

At the end of March a man in a blue 2000’s Chevy pulled up to our house while we were outside messing with our garden. He got out and placed this framed photo on a set of rocks about 100 yards away, up by our mailbox. He didn’t acknowledge us, he didn’t care that we watched him do it he didn’t even look at us. We live on the Missouri/Illinois border there is no terrain like this around us. This woman is not in our extended family when the frame was opened it was found to contain another photo of that same man with a child on his lap (most likely his daughter). This man didn’t have a license plate. We thought it was incredibley strange seeing how we have no idea who any of these people are and our family has lived in house house for 23 years. It’s a bit strange. I hope it’s a vacation photo of some kind, but I don’t know. The woman in this photo looks to be in her 30s-40s, while the photo itself looks to be taken in the 70s-80s. Let me know what you think.

In 2003, Two Individuals Successfully Stole A Boeing 727 From Luanda International Airport In Angola

After taking off, the aircraft vanished, prompting a large international search by intelligence agencies. Despite the efforts, both the plane and the thieves disappeared without a trace.

The Boeing 727, once operated by American Airlines, was retired and left at Luanda airport after plans to convert it fell through. In 2003, two men—a pilot and a mechanic—illegally boarded the plane and took off with 14,000 gallons of fuel, enough to travel 1,500 miles. The plane and the men were never found.

We Like To Think We Understand The Universe And That Physics Is A Well Grounded Discipline, And In Some Ways It Is

However we have no idea what dark matter or dark energy is and yet we think it makes up 27% and 68% of the universe respectively.

The Winchester Mystery House

I watched a documentary on this house when i was 10 and it has stuck with me ever since. it’s about a woman named Sarah Winchester. Her husband and baby both died. Her husband owned a rifle company, and she went to a psychic. The psychic told her that she is being haunted by the ghosts of all the people who have died by the hands of those guns, and that is the reason for the tragedy that happened in her life.

To appease the spirits, the psychic told her to build a great house for them, and she was not allowed to stop building, or tragedy would strike again. She didn’t get help from anyone, but she did it and kept building for the next 38 years.

There are stairs that lead to nowhere, windows that don’t look out, hallways that wrap around. It has 161 rooms, and it’s huge.

Was it really the ghosts? Was she insane? I have no idea, but it’s the most interesting story i’ve ever heard.

The post 25 Strange And Spooky Discoveries From Unexpected Places appeared first on Barnorama.

Jack the Ripper

Jack the Ripper terrorized women in late 1880s London. Despite taunting police with letters, nobody ever uncovered his (or her) identity. There are many theories, but no concrete proof.

Malaysia Flight 370

In 2014, a Malaysian Airlines flight went missing over the South China sea, and was never found. It is the most perplexing and deadly case of a missing aircraft in aviation history. Very little evidence exists, despite the assistance of modern technology.

Roanoke

In 1587, John White dropped 120 people off at the new Roanoke Island before returning to England for more supplies. When he came back, every single colonist was missing. Only the word “CROATOAN” carved into a tree gave any clue as to what happened. To this day, nobody knows exactly what became of the colonists.

The Zodiac Killer

Perhaps the most infamous modern killer, the “Zodiac Killer” taunted his victims with letters, and blackmailed newspapers in the late ‘60s.

The Dyatlov Pass Incident

In 1959, nine experienced Soviet hikers died while traversing the eastern slopes of Kholat Syakhl. In the incident, the hikers appeared to cut out of their tents in a rush, inadequately dressed for the cold. While some died from hypothermia, others possessed odd blunt force and face injuries. Nobody knows what might have caused them all to leave their shelter and perish in such a manner.

Shelly Miscavige

In 1982, Shelly married the Scientology leader David Miscavige. But while everything indicates she was a devoted Scientologist, she hasn’t been seen by anyone since in 2007. Some believe her missing and dead, while others believe she prefers to stay home. The LAPD declared a missing person’s case “unfounded.”

Jimmy Hoffa

The infamous Teamster union leader and criminal was killed in 1975. Despite an extensive investigation by the FBI, neither his killers nor his body were ever found. A more recent tip towards a New Jersey landfill produced no results. Rumors that he was buried under Metlife stadium are also false.

The Honjō Masamune

A prized sword passed down for centuries, this Japanese relic went missing during the American occupation following World War II. It is assumed that an American officer took it for himself.

D. B. Cooper

In 1971, D. B. Cooper hijacked a Northwest Orient Airlines Boeing 727 and demanded $200,000 and a parachute. After payment, he jumped out into the night over Washington state. Despite extensive FBI efforts and the discovery of some of the random money, the real identity of “Dan Cooper” was never found.

Amelia Earhart

Although we can reasonably assume that Amelia Earhart crashed into the Pacific Ocean during her attempt to become the first woman to fly around the world, the exact location of the wreckage remains a mystery. The failure of extensive search and rescue operations have led many to form their own conspiracy theories.

Portrait of a Young Man

Raphael’s Portrait of a Young Man went missing at the end of WWII, and was never found. All signs point to it having been sold for traveling money by German Hans Frank.

The Zimbabwe Ariel School UFO

In 1994, 62 students near the Zimbabwe Ariel School claimed they saw a silver craft descend from the sky, after which large black beings emerged and communicated with them telepathically. Although investigators never discovered what the kids really saw, cross examination revealed that they were telling the truth.

The Alcatraz Escapees

In 1962, Frank Morris and Clarence and John Anglin escaped the “innescapable” Alcatraz. The men were never found, and although it’s likely their makeshift raft proved inadequate for the bay, nobody knows for sure what really happened to them.

Max Headroom Signal Hijacking

In 1987, a man dressed in a Max Headroom mask hijacked the signal for the WGN-TV audience, twice. The event lasted a minute and a half, in which he exposed himself, and was spanked. Nobody was ever charged for the prank, and the man’s identity remains at large.

JFK’s Murder

In 1963, Lee Harvey Oswald shot and killed President John F. Kennedy in Dallas. However, before Oswald could stand trial, he too was shot and killed by a man named Jack Ruby. Nobody knows for sure whether the murders were related, but it seems plausible that Oswald was silenced from revealing a bigger scheme. Ruby died a few years later, so we’ll probably never know.
