Mysteries of the Unexplained | True Unsolved Mysteries & Str

 A true tale of bizarre incidents that science still can't explain.A true story of weird occurrences no science can explain.

Let's face it for a minute. In an era when we have a super-computer in our purse. In one sense we can see the galaxies, billions of light years away, in great detail, and map the human genome in a laboratory. This should be available now, in view of all this technology. But we haven't. Not even close.

There's stuff going on out there and there's stuff going on out there which is beyond our reach of reality! None of the experts can come up with anything, the data doesn't matter. These are the places of uncertainties where individuals go. Puzzles are great, particularly those that don't seem to fit anyhow. That's why Internet is totally fascinated by information on the unexplained, hunting for the mysteries of the unexplained. We'd like to be the ones to hear the punch-line at the end of God's weirdest jokes.

Sit back, relax and enjoy a cup of coffee. The very best stories that have no sense have been gathered together, and they're all very hard and true. There are no urban legends or ghost stories here, rather, it's a record of historical events you don't want to be near.

The Lighthouse That Swallowed Three Men

If you're seeking a tale straight out of a horror film, then the Flannan Isles is the location to go. Three men were in a very distant lighthouse off the west coast of Scotland in December, 1900. The names of their three were James Ducat, Thomas Marshall and Donald MacArthur. Their task was the same: to maintain the huge light, to prevent ships from running into the lethal rocks.

However, a few weeks prior to Christmas a passing vessel saw that the lighthouse had been completely dark.

One of the relief boats' crews only arrived on the island some 100 years later and for investigators the scene was baffling. A light-house was shut off. Interior was cleaned: Beds were made, as well as clocks were taken off. One meal had been half eaten and one chair was toppled on the floor by the kitchen table. It appeared to be as if the men has stood up in the middle of the dinner and just said "wey.

This is where it begins to get crazy. There were some gruesome last entries to the official logbook. Thomas Marshall, a strong, brave seafarer wrote: A great storm struck the island, and was so terrible that the other men cried. He mentioned their prayers, perhaps they would run out of them. The problem? On the same dates, there was no wind or clouds at mainland weather stations. There was no storm.

Or, was it a freak wave that had propelled them into the water? Did one of them go off his rocker and attack others? To this day, no one really knows. The Flannan Isles incident is a huge stone in the world of the unknown and the mysteries surrounding it for there's no physical proof of them all. The sea was still and guarded the secrets of the unknown.

The Man on the Beach, The Somerton Man.The Man on the Beach, The Somerton Man.

It's time to get away from the stormy sea and towards an Australian sunny beach! It’s December 1st, 1948. In the highlighted area of Somerton Beach, there are 2 people walking, and a man lying in the beach. He’s dead. But it is a sad medical incident and it's also the beginning of one of the most bizarre spy missions ever!

The police came and began to search the man's pockets, in hope of finding a wallet or an ID. Well, they did not know that! Using scissors he carefully cut out all the tags from his clothing. He had an unsmoked cigarette in his ear, half chewed piece of chewing gum and a used bus ticket. He didn't match any missing persons reports. His name didn't appear on any of the police databases anywhere.

It lasted months and months, the police were becoming desperate. They were going to take an in-depth look at his wardrobe. In his extremely small secret pocket, which they found, they found a small sheet of paper rolled up and sewn in his trousers. The paper had the words "Tamam Shud" (Persian for “It is ended” or “Finished”) printed.

The paper was traced to one of a rare copy of an ancient poem book, Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam. An ad was made public and eventually, a community member took the book the scrap was from to police headquarters. He said he spotted the body about the time it was discovered and the book thrown into the back seat of an unlocked vehicle.

The policemen looked at the back cover of the book and were shocked when they dropped their jaws! The person had drawn some random letters in an illogical formation with a pencil – it was a secret code. An unlisted phone number of a local nurse was included with the code. The nurse was asked to show the plaster cast of the deceased's face and was very surprised to see it as she said she did not know it, however the nurse told the police that she did.

Did he spy for the Soviets? A black-market smuggler? A spurned lover? The recent DNA test indicated that he may have been registered as ‘Jonas', although he was not, his fate at the time of his death and what the strange code meant are still unclear. Hence the Somerton Man case is always on the list of world's strangest unsolved cases: a real life spy thriller with an unsolved ending, deeply rooted in the mysteries of the unexplained.

The Disease That Made A City Dance

Now, suppose that you are looking out your window and your next door neighbour is dancing in the street. Not only was he swaying to some of the music, but dancing violently, out of control and with a face of total terror.

So it was at the city of Strasbourg in July, 1518. However, out of one woman's house came Frau Troffea and began to dance. She walked and walked, and walked all day long. Then days. Her feet were bleeding, she was crying out in pain but she was unable to stop. In less than a week, more than 30 individuals had joined her. At the end of the month there were approximately 400 people.

“It was not a flash mob, it wasn't a party.” The dream was a nightmare, full of the secrets of the unknown.

The Local Government was totally oblivious. Initially, the physicians of the day thought of it as "hot blood" and their ingenious medical advice was to actually stimulate the dancing. With members of the band, they erected a wooden stage in central square and told people to "just dance it out. Needless to say this was a lot worse. Others danced and danced and danced, till they died. Old timers' memories have included people running out of gas on the street, strokes and large heart attacks.

This phenomenon has been investigated by contemporary medical practitioners and some logical theories have been put forward. Other people attribute it to mass hysteria brought on by the dire straits of poverty and stress. It has been suggested that it might be a "food poisoning" due to a fungus which grows on moist rye bread, "ergotism. The fungus consists of chemicals which bear a resemblance to that in LSD and may cause extreme spasms and hallucinations.

But honestly? Fit with both theories is not possible. Because of the decrease in circulation to the limbs caused by the ergot poisoning, for a few days, dancing would be impossible. Mass hysteria doesn't last longer than a month en masse and on such a fatal scale. Of course it does seem unexplained, but as science has not yet come to grips with the mind can go haywire when confronted with mysteries of the unexplained.

F. The VELA Incident, the Flash in the Ocean

It's not necessarily a stranger or strange happenings. At times it's about huge, hideous occurrences that the world's governments desperately attempt to bury.

Goto September 22, 1979. Cold War has entered into full swing. There's a satellite in the United States, called VELA 6911, orbiting the earth. A nuclear bomb was exploded in this satellite and two blinding flashes were seen when the satellite was orbitalized for that purpose only, to observe the Earth. It was supposed to be able to intercept the USSR (or other country testing nukes) without anybody knowing it.

On a quiet day in September, the VELA satellite was able to pick up the clear and definite ‘double flash' signature of a nuclear explosion over the exceedingly distant Prince Edward Islands, in the South Indian Ocean.

The U.S. military was on a panic mode. Of course they did have a man that was silent when a nuclear bomb exploded, on the outskirts of nowhere. Scouting flights were made over the area however, nothing was observed. Clouds that are not radiating. No water based marine litter. There was no record of earthquakes by the world's earthquake monitors.

President Jimmy Carter's administration put together a panel of leading scientists to assist them. Later it was made public that it was actually a 'micrometeoroid' smashing its camera lens, giving rise to a false alarm. However, no one was purchasing that notion, underlying the scenes. Years later documents were published that the top intelligence officials were firmly convinced that it was a secret, joint South Africa/Israel nuclear test. But it is never mentioned by the countries and nothing particular has ever been discovered from the sea.

The VELA Incident is a geopolitical mystery which is very difficult to be explored due to the lack of explanation. Well, do you think that the little micrometeorite somehow fell down into the lens and got blasted into a nuclear weapon all by itself? Or could someone subject a weapon of mass destruction to a test and not leave a trace of radiation? The truth would never be known, it remained a dark mystery in an unexplained world.

 The Radio Call From Nowhere

Lastly, let's take a moment to take a look up. If you want to go to the largest of the unexplained, then you must venture into deep space. The universe is too big to be afraid of and people have been listening to the noise of the universe for years and they're waiting for someone else to have a conversation.

On August 15, 1977, the "Big Ear" radio telescope was on duty and the astronomer Jerry Ehman was one of its volunteers. He was tracking the effects of the telescope in the sky, for any unusual radio signals. As a general rule, they were only given the “static” of the universe, which is the form of sound that was there since the beginning of the universe.

The computer, however, on that day printed out a string of letters and numbers 6EQUJ5.

To a random man that's a random wifi key. But it was an earth-shattering moment for Ehman. The sequence was a large, audible radio pulse which hit the telescope. It was 30 times greater than normal space background noise and only lasted 72 seconds. More importantly, it was picked up on the frequency of 1420 Megahertz. It is very important as it is the frequency the universe emits of hydrogen, the most abundant element in the universe. The scientists have long thought that if an intelligent alien race wanted to communicate with us, it would try to send its message on the universal "language" of physics' hydrogen frequency.

It caused such shock and amazement to Ehman that he circled the sequence with a red pen and wrote one word in the margin: " wow! " This was a legendary event in the study of mysteries of the unexplained.

The naysayers have put forth a theory. Or maybe, it was a stealth military satellite? But, according to the military, that wasn't what it was doing, it was not broadcasting on that restricted frequency. Or perhaps it was a passing comet? A group of researchers in 2017 suggested that a cloud of hydrogen, that lit up the telescope might have been created by two comets passing by. But other astronomers soon disproved this theory, saying that comets just don't emit enough radio waves to make that sort of reading.

The "Wow! One reason it is a popular read is that there are only two options one of which, is terrifying. When we mess up the call, it was some big cosmic event of which no one's ever seen an instance -- or for 72 seconds in 1977, we heard an alien civilization screaming across the skies -- and we fucked that up.The Unknown is the title of this book.This book is entitled The Unknown.

However, what is to be done now?

Men disappear in obscure rocks, who has taken with him ancient poetry codes, people dancing until the rhythm of their pounding hearts comes to an end, and invisible nuclear bombs, radio calls from the far void. Just from the standpoint of these events, it's easy to look and be small and insignificant.

But there are some things that are a bit hazy and comfy about those of the inexplicable, however. They're a testament to the fact that life on earth is not a plain spreadsheet. Magic exists in the world - good and bad. Wild Frontiers remain.

With the progress of science, there is always one of these cases that reminds us to be humble when we believe that we are at the very best. The truth is seared into our brains and we will be spending thousands of hours of effort going through old police records, interpreting satellite data and filtering out the static from deep space to uncover mysteries of the unexplained.

There is no magic to the mysteries of the unexplained, the answer is not magic. It's the excitement of the hunt. It's the late night talks, the crazy ideas, the understanding that the universe is a lot more crazy, a lot more darker than we think, and a lot more interesting. Or perhaps we shall know who the Somerton Man was, or what happened to the custodians of the Flannan Isles. At the moment, however, we have yet to determine what to do. And honestly? I think the best way to do it is like that.
