Creepy Unsolved Mysteries - From unsolved murders to unidentified people to unexplained supernatural events, what are some of the creepiest unsolved mysteries you've ever heard of?

Depending on how fast he steered it into the ocean, there wouldn't be big chunks to find. The aircraft crashes on land that have big chunks are where the pilots were doing what they could to slow and minimize the damage. A suicide run is not going to repeat "Miracle on the Hudson".

This is the remains of a private jet that didn't even get off the ground before crashing in a gully. A jumbo jet aimed at the water at full speed, which is apparently 924-945 km/hr, is the same as hitting solid concrete. It's going to shatter into pieces. And in the Indian Ocean? Yeah, finding ANY debris is amazing.

It's mad seeing just how much better the engines fare vs everything else. Was the cockpit simply saved by firefighters or does it also have to be reinforced by necessity?

i recall hearing on some tv show once that the reason we cant find things like bigfoot or other various cryptids is because they exist in another dimension we cant see but other things can. which is why dogs and cats will freak out at stuff we dont see or hear. that might just be a bunch of nonsense but it is really interesting to think about.

as far as things that are more documented are concerned the hoia baciu forest is pretty interesting. something is for sure going on in there rather its ghosts or some really weird magnetism somethings off in that place for sure.

Cats and dogs have much better hearing than humans, so it is probably some sounds far away or something. And sometimes they are just weird, as seen as with all the "cute silly animal"-videos out there. I'm pretty sure a silly animal would be explained with something supernatural, back in the day.

There's also the "Psychic phenomenon" explanation for things like that and UFOs, which itself can be broken down into two separate camps.

1. Something extradimensional is leaking into this reality, as you said
2. We are perceiving something "real" but that our brains can't properly resolve, so we go with the closest-neighbor to our understanding

On that second one, the idea is like when you can't resolve an image you haven't seen before until it's pointed out to you, or you look at it a certain way and then "can't unsee".

This is a Dalmatian sniffing the ground facing away from the camera.
It's also kind of like how the "questing beast" from Arthurian legend is described as "The strange creature has the head and neck of a snake, the body of a leopard, the haunches of a lion, and the feet of a hart."

Spoiler

Or the Beast of Gévaudan, which is described thus: “the size of a very large wolf, the color of burnt coffee, with a black bar on its back, a dirty white belly, and a very large and plump head.”

You can only really describe things in terms of what you have already experienced and understand, but if you see something super-weird you can only describe your impressions or split-second understanding of the thing.

This phenomenon is also thought to possibly be behind the Green Children of Woolpit.

According to the legend, around the 12th century, strange, very young, green-colored children were discovered near the village of Woolpit. They were dressed in bizarre clothes, spoke a bizarre unknown language, and refused to eat anything until they were given raw beans which they ate immediately.

One of the children died, but one of them, the girl, survived, eventually lost her green coloring after getting used to eating other food, and learned to speak English. She claimed that she, and her now deceased brother were from some place called St. Martin's Land where the sun never shone, and where they had been tending to their father's cattle when they heard a loud noise, and suddenly somehow ended up near the village.

In reality, these children were most likely the kids of Flemish clothworkers from the village of Fornham St Martin who had fled the carnage of a battle that had recently taken place there. Their green coloring came from them malnourished due to them wandering in the woods for several days with no food which is also why it eventually went away after they got a better diet than just raw fucking beans.

Speaking of beans, the reason they only ate that, and nothing else is most likely because it was only the food they actually recognized. The children were very young after all, and if you've ever had to try to get very young children to eat something they don't recognize, or immediately like, it can be an incredibly annoying, and difficult task. Yes, even if they're literally starving. Kids are like that.

Lastly, their odd clothing is just them being dressed in traditional Flemish clothing which would've been unfamiliar to most English peasants at the time, and them being young, traumatized, frightened, children who didn't speak English, and were too young to fully comprehend nor explain what had happened to them clears the other shit up as well.

Or you know, they could just be magical creatures from another dimension. That works, too.

It certainly did for the villagers of Woolpit.

traditional Flemish clothing

Hello and welcome to 2022 where this was one of the first results when I googled this phrase:

Though, I imagine, this is more of what the kids were wearing:

Which, yeah I can see how that might confuse a bunch of English peasants.

My dog's a furry little retard who freaks out every time there's a popping sound from one of the walls in my house. This happens ten or fifteen times a day. Animals are dumb, which is why we're in charge and they're not.

Kind of spooky 4 guys in their 30s went missing last week they went on a bike ride together this week they found them all dead In a river
Would not be surprised if a semi truck or something hit them there's a lot of trucks that go through that area

Update it appears to have been a shooting that killed them apparently they were found dismembered as well
They suspect it was the scrapyard owner
Spooky as hell I've used that scrapyard before as a kid when my dad was unemployed and we would sell scrap there to get grocery money

Interesting. I wonder if they crossed a local gang and the gang wasn't having any of it.

Probably not for that area maybe a motorcycle gang it's more than likely they went to go steal something from the scrapyard and the owner freaked out and shot them and dismembered them and threw them in the river

Looks like the scrap yard owner was arrested still crazy to think this happened in such a small irrelevant town very spooky might go out to the area it happened at this time next year

I guess? It's a weird thing to do, though. I can understand shooting some bloke who cuts through your fence to nick some copper pipe, but shooting four men, 'severely dismembering' them, and then throwing the body parts in a river is so far beyond overkill it becomes a war crime.

You should check out a podcast called Small Town Murder.

My guess is he shot them for stealing copper and knew he was fucked and tried to hide the evidence can you imagine if they were black the fbi would be all over it

I never really understood the throwing bodies in a river thing. I mean I guess it gets them away from the area or whatever but it seems like almost always they wind up on the shores of the river or caught on something somewhere down the line and get found.

I forgot to mention the Bigfoot Killer, a man with unnaturally large hands and feet who raped and murdered seven prostitutes (the youngest of whom was only 16 years old).

If anyone hates Crime Junkie podcaster plagiarist Ashley Flowers, here's even more reason. Her podcast business is growing, she now has 35 employees doing the work of 200! Isn't she inspirational?

Another famous "mystery victim" has been identified. "The Lady of the Dunes," whose mutilated body was found on Cape Cod in 1974, and who may have been an extra in the 1975 movie Jaws, was 37 YO Ruth Marie Terry.

But the mystery doesn't end there. Apparently she was married to a guy who almost certainly murdered his previous wife and teenage daughter in the early Sixties, and may have done more killings.

 

[Plainview]

An Iowa woman claims that her late father was a serial killer who murdered up to 70 women. She claims to know where the bodies are. Authorities are currently investigating the scene for evidence.

Apparently they think the corpses are in a well that has been filled up with dirt so the whole thing might take some time. Interesting story.

There has also been an arest in the Delphi Murder Case

I've been following this case on and off over the years.. I remember reading a youtube comment of some guy saying the killer was his uncle (?) and that they will most likely arest him soon.. thought it was a shitpost but maybe he was telling the truth

 

[DavidFerrie]

A "solved" mystery that transformed into an even bigger enigma: the case of Lawrence Joseph Bader. Although he was located eight years after his 1957 disappearance on Lake Erie, living under a different name as a local celebrity in Nebraska, he died before officials could determine whether he had deliberately fled his debt-plagued old identity, or had a genuine second personality that took over his consciousness. Definitely one of the weirdest cases of amnesia and personality disorder I've ever encountered.
