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?

[Juan But Not Forgotten]

"All of them" is definitely an overgeneralization for just two explanations. A decent percent could be unusual weather phenomena, secret balloon tests, etc., and some are just too weird for me to feel comfortable with any obvious explanation even if I don't believe they're likely to be supernatural or extraterrestrial. I'm sure there's a mundane explanation in most, if not all, cases, but sometimes that can be all but impossible to piece together later and involves something no one would think of at the time.

Well, there is also another explanation thanks to editing software being available for everyone.

Evanston, Wyoming
Note: I have never dug into anything on this (Internet Sluth-style).
Mostly I try to drink away those memories.

Russell Greer did it…

often find these earthquake lights to be such a weird mysterious phenomenon people claim to see and correlate it with being a up to a few weeks after or before and earthquake and I may possibly even have a vague memory of it shortly before or after the earthquake I experienced in Japan. But a memory I do have while in Japan is the unstable feeling of the ground when I was at the Tokyo Narita Airport in Chiba, Japan just before the earthquake one day after

I've heard the earthquake lights are caused by the rock underground shifting and producing sparks. Like a giant flint, if that makes sense.

I remember seeing something about this and the science experts theorized that underground gasses escaping from the tectonic activity might be the cause. Kind of like how swamp gas can make will o' wisps.

Just a quick two things.

I don't listen to Last Podcast On The Left much anymore but they started a Black Dhalia series yesterday and it's pretty interesting.

Second, whoever suggested the Bardstown Podcast, I just finished binging it and holy shit, what a fucking corrept and incompetent bunch of bumkins. It's one of the rare times where I'm glad the feds got involved.

The overly PC shit they pull often has driven me off for the most part but I love me some black Dhalia shit and this ep feels kinda like the old times. I look forward to the rest of the series.

Ever heard of the disappearance of Paresh Patel? He was an Indian immigrant who disappeared in September 2000 in downtown Austin, Texas. He was the owner of several nightclubs in Austin. He was last seen when he went to attend a meeting at a club in downtown. He hasn’t been seen since.

He was probably disappeared by the cartel over not playing ball or other drug related crimes. All bar/club owners make their money off coke, whether directly or indirectly.

There are lots of rules about what you should and shouldn't do in forests and mountains or else you disappear and myths about mysterious disappearences.

Coyotes and Wolves can sound very human-like, and a pack of either can tear a lone human apart and leave no trace.

He is alleged to have a link with the Texas Syndicate, which is a prison gang known for contract murder.

The pups cry like human infants too I believe.

Coyotes and Wolves can sound very human-like...

Hearing coyotes sing on cold, still, dark winter nights is one of the creepiest parts of living out in the forest in the middle of nowhere, especially when they sound like they're just behind the line of trees up the hill in your backyard.

It makes me wonder what it would have been like to be a long hunter camped in one of the river valleys here three hundred years ago, when there were still wolves roaming the hills. Native people like the Cherokee used the place as a hunting ground, not somewhere they would have actually built homes or villages, so the only houses would have been isolated cabins owned by recluses on the fringes of society. I'm sure that a lot of people just disappeared under mysterious circumstances without ever being reported, because there was really no one to report their disappearance to. It's not surprising that there are a lot of legends from that time about what you shouldn't do in the forest at night. If you got turned around, the area's geography would make it difficult to follow cries for help, and the unpredictable, often violent weather could turn on you quickly and wipe out all traces of your presence if you were to get lost.

DeOrr Kunz is the missing mild some of you were referring to on page 64. I can’t quote or reply at the moment for some reason.

Also, if we are gonna Black Dahlia sperg, I’d like to recommend the book:

Exquisite Corpse: Surrealism and the Black Dahlia Murder​

As an art fag, that book was incredibly interesting to me, especially since my first art museum memory was Marcel Duchamp’s Étant donnés.

 

[Burd Turglar]

Honest guess, the US military industrial complex in order to steal even more tax dollars and pass even more draconian shit to control the plebs whilst pushing for more forever wars.

Or aliums.

Post listening to the LPOTL Dhalia prt 1, I'm planning on buying that book.

There's a pack of coyotes that's been hanging out around my backyard and the local area for the last few years. They sound like howling monkey demons at night. The noises they make are so fucked up. They scream and yell and make weird crying noises or these weird monkey hollering sounds. One of the creepiest times I've had around coyotes was one night my wife and I were out walking our dog at a local park near a golf course. We weren't too far from the car when all of a sudden all around us we could hear weird howling and whimpering doglike sounds. Our dog started freaking out wanting to go investigate and by the time we got to the car they had to have been only like 20 feet away all around us.

I also have a friend, when he was younger, he had a broken leg and was walking home drunk after a party on his crutches when a pack of coyotes started following him. They surrounded him and kept lunging in to nip and bite at him as he was walking and he had to fight them off with his crutches the whole way home. I guess they saw him as a wounded animal or something because apparently they were pretty persistent and wouldn't back off until he got home. Normally, as far as I know, it's fairly rare for a pack of coyotes to go after a full blown adult like that.

Black Dahlia Avenger by Steve Hodel is also very good. Keep in mind though the authors later books are unhinged. He’s an example of something extraordinary nuts but probably true happening in your life, that alters your perception of reality later. He’s paranoid and conspiratorial, but I get why (his father is very likely who killed Liz Short. He grew up to be a detective and then later discovered his own gross bad father has been the prime suspect according to police records).

I recently read about a Canadian DJ who went missing in 2002 and was found over a year later lodged in
a narrow space between two walls in a nightclub basement. Investigators believed he crawled in there, became stuck and unable to slide back out, and died of positional asphyxiation. His mummified corpse had been there for the entire duration of his disappearance and remained undiscovered partially due to the odor of cigarette smoke permeating the club and concealing the smell of decomposition. Once a smoking ban was implemented, people began to notice a "sewage" stench coming from the basement. Officers snaked a camera between the walls and discovered the body.

Makes me wonder how many long-standing missing persons cases out there won't be resolved until one day somebody tries to pinpoint the source of a strange smell that's been lingering for years. Brian Shaffer comes to mind.

Lore Lodge did an episode on Shaffer, showing how he could have left the club without being seen. Shaffer was unhappy due to some family issues and dissatisfaction with a career in medicine, and there is a strong possibility that he planned his disappearance.
