Again? They uncover Jack the Ripper's true identity twice a year.

The gentleman described in the article isn't all that convincing a profile. If a book is published on him, I'll read the more in depth speculation with interest.

Personally, my belief is that Charles Lechmere (aka Cross) deserves much more serious scrutiny.

Back in the late 2000s, when Black Butler taking off, I remember reading a lot of LiveJournal blogs about the character Grell was such a revolutionary and progressive depiction of a homosexual or gender nonconforming male, and how he was a brilliant example of how a queer major character could be successful and popular in a mainstream anime. The author of the manga and the director of the anime were lauded for their inspiring, landmark work for equality.

Admittedly Grell is Jack the fucking Ripper in this series, who crows about how much he enjoyed gruesomely butchering worthless whores who refused to get a real job, but he's still a major victory for human rights and the progression of mainstream anime and media! Now let him her into your bathroom you bigoted terf, he she just wants to pee!

Kind of underwhelming but there is (or was, i dunno) a black goo in Caracas that no one knows where it come from, its hard as fuck to clean and comes and goes at random covering several miles of road at a time. Oil would be the first suspect but after years of studying apparently no one has fully figured out what it is. (Protip: don't believe what the venezuelan government said at face value)

From wikipedia

In 1986, La Mancha Negra first appeared as a smudge 50-yards long. It was noticed by workers as they patched the 30-year-old asphalt on a highway between Caracas and its airport.[1][2] Initially, concerns for the blob were low but it soon spread. As much as 8 miles of highway were soon covered with the unknown material that contracted and expanded with the weather. It was found to grow when conditions were hot and wet but shrink when it was cold and dry.[2][5] It seemed to prefer tunnels and the uphill slopes outside the airport. Gummy in texture, the blob rendered the roadway extraordinarily unsafe, causing vehicles to crash into one another or run off the road. In 1991, a group of experts consulted President Carlos Andrés Pérez about the problem but could not pinpoint the cause of the substance.[3] 1,800 deaths were then attributed to La Mancha Negra in the five years before 1992[2] and by that time, the stain had spread throughout the city of Caracas.[4]

The Venezuelan government stepped in, stating that it devoted "millions of dollars" to investigating the problem, even consulting experts in the U.S., Canada and Europe. In 1994, the Ministry of Transport and Communications attempted to wash away La Mancha Negra believing it was paste consisting of oil and dust and even suspended work when it rained believing it would wash away the substance.[6] They tried spraying the stain away with pressurized water, but this did not work. They tried scrubbing it away with detergents to no avail. They even repeatedly scraped away the top layer of the roads, resurfacing it, only to watch La Mancha Negra reappear.[2] Finally, the government poured tons of pulverized limestone over the stain to "dry it up".[4] This seemed to work for a while, but created a different problem; the roads then became so dusty that drivers and local residents complained that the air was unbreathable.[5]

In January 1996, the roads became slick with the substance once more, due to the lack of maintenance, low rainfall and the poor condition of vehicles in Caracas. Special cleaning equipment was brought in from Germany, and the phenomenon seemed to have abated for several years thereafter. However, La Mancha Negra reappeared in 2001 on several roads in Caracas, including Baralt, Nueva Granada, Fuerzas Armadas, Sucre and Urdaneta Avenues.[4][5]

PoliticizationEdit​

Under the Carlos Andrés Pérez presidency in 1992 during a time of political turmoil, allegations were made that his political opponents were spreading oil on the roads to tarnish his reputation as a leader.[8] In 2001 following Hugo Chávez's Bolivarian Revolution, the substance was used as a political tool once more, with chavista mayor Freddy Bernal stating that the opposition had hired homeless Venezuelans to spread it from plastic bags during the night.[4]

Double-posting, but Nexpo did a video on the Yuba County Five.

Tl;dr: He majorly glosses over just how mentally-challenged the men were in favor of making everything more "mysterious", and uses annoying, and tasteless edits edits to make the video more "scary". He theorizes that Gary Mathias, the schizophrenic man who is the only to this day still unaccounted for, is also dead, and died out there in the wilderness, and the only reason we haven't found his body is because his remains have been scattered by animals.

I know this post is 2+ years old. But I am seeing increased noise around the Yuba Five in recent months and Wendigoon recently did a vid on it.

While tragic and upsetting for sure, it's not at all mysterious to me. I might have a different perspective than most because I have close family who are, to put it nicely, slightly mentally handicapped. They can drive, shop, and hold down simple jobs. But they are utterly lacking in any common sense and are disasters under pressure. One relative locked her keys and phone inside her car in a store's parking lot and instead of going inside and asking to use their phone, she stood by her car for hours until a passersby noticed her sweating in the sun and offered to help. I found out another had been washing his face with alcohol prep pads for weeks and didn't connect the dots on why his skin was red and peeling.

It is not at all hard to imagine how a group of men ranging from mildly retarded to crazy might make baffling decisions or lack basic common sense, especially if the one schizo in the group (forget which one) started having some sort of breakdown and added to the confusion and panic. The fact that everyone in the group was either on psychiatric meds or had a room temp IQ is glossed over in favor of whipping up drama and spooks. I would be utterly unsurprised if some of my mildly retarded family members died within easy reach of a locker full of food, or didn't think to just try to push the car out of the snow bank.

Makes me MATI.

Makes me MATI.

I know exactly how you feel. But people generally don't understand intellectual impairment or mental illness unless they have first hand experience, even ones who otherwise have a great ability for empathy. It's hard to explain to others how it works - or rather, doesn't work.

Spoiler: my autistic analogie

I think of it being similar to a cogs minigame in a hidden object computer game. If you can assemble some of the cogs properly you can get partial movement, maybe even a lot of movement, but unless all the cogs are in exactly the right place, you're not going to pass the level. You can arrange the cogs in any pretty pattern you like, but pretty is not functional

Sounds like a slimemould or some sort of biofilm.

Mt. Shasta has so much interesting shit about it, I've heard about that mountain over and over from the spooky 'tubers (Wendigoon, Lore Lodge, Nexpo, etc.) Anyone remember that story about the kid who said a robot version of his grandma was in there? Shit is weird in that mountain.

That was the one Bedtime Stories covered in the video I posted. Grandma doppleganger who wanted the kid to shit on a piece of metal foil for unknown baffling reasons. Me I just think Cali is such a pedo hotbed even the space pedos know to stop by

Is this why there are so many 8 foot tall niggers walking around these days? They’re cloning an army of super aryans under Mt. Shasta and occasionally need new DNA samples?

I don't know what's worse; the idea there are definitely aliens, or there are definitely aliens and they're pedophiles here to sniff our kids' shit

They just need to spend a day and a night in Yakub's science cave.

As others have noted, it seems like these things get drummed up for the scintillation.

The Yuba County Five: Five men, four of them mentally-disabled, and one of them mentally-disturbed, went missing on the night of February 24th, 1978, after attending a college basketball game.

Is it really a mystery that four retards and a nut died under these circumstances?

Then the mom killers herself. She wrote in her suicide not that Tim is "with people who would love and care for him" and "You'll never find him".

The disapprence of Lars Mittank

Elisa Lam - Hotel guests complain of a strange taste in the water.

In other words, Rudy was not high on bath salts during the attacks, and it is unknown what caused him to go in an absolute feral and psychotic state that led him to almost devour a homeless man.

These are all cut-and-dry examples of people entering psychotic states and acting like retards (that Ukrainian lady in Egypt too).

The Gilgo Beach Murderer or Long Island serial killer

IDK. Maybe the Lady In The Dunes Case

Solved.

I find Ireland's Vanishing Triangle very interesting

Does this really exist? That’s a big chunk of Ireland. You could draw a triangle over a huge swathe of any country and find a lot of crime.

You probably heard about Cicada 3301, but what if I tell you, that something similar has existed even before the dawn of the Internet?

Is this even a real thing? The only primary source I can find is Bryan Hance, who noteably worked at the newspaper.

I still believe that woman who came forward may have been telling the truth.

She wasn’t.

Here’s one I heard of only recently: The bizarre case of Cindy James

Pretty easy to tie yourself up with nylon stockings. Another obvious loon.

recent attempts to publicize the case have been met with cease-and-desist letters from family attorneys, which just add to the mystery.

That’s just bizarre. What does the family know and what are they covering up after all these years? Most families would do anything for exposure to such an old case but this family wants their privacy? Something is not right there.

At this point she is certainly dead and the killers likely are too. The family is likely the children. Why would they want to be a spectacle and get harassed by Marissa Jones and other retarded true crime podcasters?

The Ever-Growing Dangerous Filth That Couldn't Be Washed Away; La Mancha Negra

Can we add the Georgia Guidestones getting bombed and then destroyed the next day as one of these creepy unsolved mysteries

Are these mysteries? There’s bad asphalt in a country renowned for it’s poor quality petroleum? A monument advocating cultural genocide, mandated birth control, and eugenics was vandalised? Colour me blue.

back in 2014, the AARP released a commercial that for some reason had a news broadcast playing the background talking about martial law, and authorities working on a plan to "contain the outbreak".

This just seems like an editor with a bit of a sense of humour. Like the dicks in old Disney movies.

Shit like this makes me think the facial reconstruction "experts" do this intentionally to make certain features stick in your mind.

Yeah, I think that’s part of the reason. Another factor is they have a list of attributes to go off of but they need it to not just look like a generic face.

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".

Pretty easy to spot this one without being told.

take psilocybin shrooms, take DMT, learn to meditate and do a 30 day trial run of 20 minutes of meditation a day, look up how to lucid dream, look up how to astral project, take a beginner's yoga class, look up cases of precognition and telepathy (Rupert Sheldrake is a good source for this)

You’re going to get possessed. You need to get an exorcism and baptism. Go to Church.

Hope you don't get a tranny daughter, Mr. Penn Jillette.

I wasn't a fan of your totally true story about factory ghosts but it’s horses for courses.

If I had to find something to criticise it would be that you called the Delphi murders as the ‘the Monon bridge case’. I saw a fair amount of people in this thread also refer to the Somerton man as ‘the Tamam Shud case’. What’s with that? Stop making up new names.

That's what it's been known as in Australia up until fairly recently. But the Wikipaedophiles put "Somerton Man" as the title on the article, so that's what it's called now.
