There are
somethings that confuse the world to such an extent that people go mad
and crazy behind these mysteries. Find out how these mysteries have
managed to dumbfound the world since ages and scare the hell out of
those who encounter them.
1. The Taos Hum
www.coolfunpedia.blogspot.com
In the small town of Taos, New Mexico, there is a certain buzz often heard
on the horizon that can be compared to the sound of a distant diesel
engine. It is a humming sound that is very disorienting for a person who
experiences it and it seems to have an effect on people- it has been known to cause insomnia and/or sleep disturbances,
nausea, headaches, dizziness and nosebleeds. Needless to say, it can be very irritating for hearers,
Although it can be heard by the naked ear, various sound detection
devices are not able to pick it up. This is known as the Taos Hum and up to
this day, no one still knows how this sound is being created.
2. Voynich Manuscript
www.sci-news.com
The Voynich manuscript was written in a language that men through the centuries have tried to decode to no avail.
The only idea anyone has of its origin are the drawings found on various pages.The book has been carbon-dated to the early
15th century (1404–1438), and may have been composed in Northern Italy during the Italian Renaissance. The manuscript is
named after Wilfrid Voynich, a Polish book dealer who purchased it in 1912. The pages of the codex are vellum.
Some of the pages are missing, but about 240 remain. The text is written from left to right, and most of the pages have
illustrations or diagrams. Many people have suggested different theories for deciphering the text, while some believe its just
pure nonsense and might be a hoax. Whatever it may be, but to this day the manuscript remains a confusing mystery.
3. Jack The Ripper
www.blog.8coupons.com
The name Jack the Ripper has been heard in many shows and movies, pertaining to the serial killer who murdered 11 women
in London’s east end in the late 1800?s but was never identified. Most of his victims were prostitutes, whose bodies were
mutilated beyond recognition and their throats slashed. In the East End's Whitechapel district, a string of prostitutes were
butchered. The crime scenes were a gory tableau; the brutalized bodies were perversions of the human form.
The killer was a collector who took organs as trophies. The signature of a letter that arrived during the murders gave this monster a name: Jack the Ripper. The city was whipped into a froth of suspicion and fear. Wide dragnets snagged scores of suspects, but the police were unable to catch the killer. Vigilante committees formed, and mobs routinely chased people through the streets. And then, suddenly, the murders stopped. Despite three more years of investigation, the police never uncovered the true identity of Jack the Ripper. The unsolved case was officially closed in 1892, though interest in the killings has never dwindled.

Known as the Bermuda Triangle, this legendary expanse of ocean can be found between the points of Miami, Bermuda, and Puerto
Rico. Pilots often tell of their instruments going haywire and numerous ships have been lost at sea. With explanations
ranging from gas bubbles to aliens, no one is sure what is behind the strange phenomena.
5. Kryptos
www.anixneuseis.gr
Just outside the CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia, you will behold a statue that has coded
encryptions on its surface. This very captivating sculpture was created by Jim Sanborn to show that
everything can be resolved and decoded with the use of patterns and clues. Of the four inscription sections that were
included, only the first three have been cracked. But the fourth? Not even the brilliant minds in the CIA were able to
get to the bottom of it
6. Shepherd’s Monument Inscription
www.peiraxtiri.gr
In Staffordshire, England, there is a sculpture that has invited the wits and intellect of many intellectuals in an
attempt to decode an inscription reading DOUOSVAVVM. Although the Shepherd’s Monument was constructed back in the
18th century, the letters found therein were never solved, even 250 years after it was completed.
7. Tamam Shud
www.vivatechnics.com
Back
in December 1948, an unidentified man was found dead in Somerton Beach,
located in Adelaide, Australia. Found in one of his pockets was a piece
of paper with the words “Tamam Shud” written on it. The words were
translated “finished” or “ended” based on excerpts found in The Rubaiyat
of Omar Khayyam. Although governments around the world have tried to
identify the man his identity has remained mystery.
8. Zodiac Killer
www.comicvine.com
During
the 1960s and 1970s, there was a certain criminal in the San Francisco
Bay area that was identified as the Zodiac killer for the mind-boggling
letters he sent to the police and to the press. Although one of the four
letters were cracked, which contained a very disturbing message, the
other three have never been identified, even until now.
9. Georgia Guidestones
www.dailygrail.com
Also
identified as the American version of Stonehenge, the Georgia
Guidestones located in Elbert County are shrouded in mystery, although
they were erected only in 1979. Written on the walls are 10 “new
commandments” written in English, Swahili, Hindi, Hebrew, Arabic, China,
Russia, and Spanish although no one is sure why or for whom they were
meant.
10. Rongorongo
www.tunguska.pl
In
the mysterious Easter Islands where the moai stands, a set of glyphs
have been discovered, called the Rongorongo. These glyphs have never
been deciphered although they may contain clues concerning the huge
heads found scattered around the island.

11. The Loch Ness Monster
www.wired.com
For
ages, people have been hearing about the Loch Ness monster and how it
baffled everyone thinking that it is a creature unlike any other. There
have been many sightings over the years and photos and videos of actual
footage have been checked and looked at time and time again, confirming
if it could be some kind of sea serpent or a descendant of the
dinosaurs. Even up today, as some are claiming, it still exists and
swims under the waters.
12. Big Foot
www.bigfootbuzz.net
Also
known as Sasquatch, bigfoot is supposedly a creature that lives in the
snowy mountainous regions of the United States and Canada. It may be
identified as a gorilla at first, however, its walking posture can be
compared to that of a man’s.
13. Black Dahlia Murder
www.en.wikipedia.org
22-year old Elizabeth Short was very active at promoting herself into showbiz at the time the Black Dahlia murder occurred,
The Black Dahlia" was a nickname given to Elizabeth Short, an American woman who was the victim of a gruesome and
much-publicized murder. Short was found mutilated, her body sliced in half at the waist, on January 15, 1947, in Leimert Park,
Los Angeles, California. Short's unsolved murder has been the source of widespread speculation, leading to many suspects,
along with several books and film adaptations of the story. Short's murder is one of the oldest unsolved murder cases in
Los Angeles history.however, no one knew of the killer or who actually did the murder.
14. Stonehenge
www.hdw.eweb4.com
Stonehenge
is a prehistoric monument in Wiltshire, England, about 2 miles (3.2 km)
west of Amesbury and 8 miles (13 km)
north of Salisbury. One of the most famous sites in the world,
Stonehenge is the remains of a ring of standing stones set
within earthworks. Stonehenge is surely Britain's greatest national
icon, symbolizing mystery, power and endurance.
Its original purpose is unclear to us, but some have speculated that it
was a temple made for the worship of ancient earth
deities. It has been called an astronomical observatory for marking
significant events on the prehistoric calendar.
Others claim that it was a sacred site for the burial of high-ranking
citizens from the societies of long ago. While we can't say with any
degree of certainty what it was for, we can say that it wasn't
constructed for any casual purpose. Only something very important to the
ancients would have been worth the effort and investment that it took
to construct Stonehenge.
15. Shroud of Turin
www.shroud.com
The Shroud of Turin or Turin Shroud (Italian: Sindone di Torino) is a length of linen cloth bearing the image of a man
who appears to have suffered physical trauma in a manner consistent with crucifixion. There is no consensus yet on exactly
how the image was created, and it is believed by some to be the burial shroud of Jesus of Nazareth, despite radiocarbon
dating placing its origins in the Medieval period.[1] The image is much clearer in black-and-white negative than in its
natural sepia color.

16. The Lost City of Atlantis
www.forum.nin.com
The
City of Atlantis has been imagined as the crowning city of Neptune,
where mermaids and mermen live. But based on what Plato has discussed
during his time, specifically with his two dialogues Timaeus and
Critias, it specifically mentioned the existence of Atlantis based on
the stories being heard during the journeys, and how Atlantis was in its
prime state, thus giving a clue that the place did exist as Plato was a
real entity. Now that it sunk into the deep, many are still wondering
if it is real, knowing that there are certain objects underwater that
may be the remnants of this once beautiful city.
17. Extraterrestrials
www.davidreneke.com
From
the mysteries found in the Eastern Islands, to the Bermuda Triangle,
and even with the Roswell Incident during World War II, men have always
been in question as to whether we are not alone in the universe. With
some claiming to have been abducted and others calling hogwash, there is
as of yet no consensus.
18. Severed Foot Beach in British Columbia
www.clamorly.com
It
is not uncommon for bodies to wash up on beaches but for one beach in
British Columbia severed feet have consistently been floating ashore for
the past several years causing numerous theories to be put forth.
19. Wow! Signal
www.theatlantic.com
When
Jerry R. Ehman worked under the SETI Project of the Ohio Wesleyan
University’s Perkins Observatory, he did not expect that he would be
able to pick up a radio frequency supposedly coming from deep space. He
was able to get a 72-second signal from the constellation Sagittarius
and was never able to get it again. Up to this day no one is sure about
the origin of the signal. It derived its name, however, from the “wow!”
that Jerry wrote in the margin of the printout.
20. DB Cooper
www.en.wikipedia.org
When
DB Cooper hijacked a Boeing 727 along with $200,000, he proceeded to
jump out of the plane with a parachute. He was never found, however, and
this remains the only unsolved case in US aviation history.
21. Lal Bahadur Shastri
www.deccanchronicle.com
He
died an unexplainable death since he left the country healthy. Many
have claimed that he died of heart attack, but the doctors and other
specialists who have checked him out, including his wife, confirmed that
he was A-okay. His wife had also made the assertion that the Tashkent
Pact, upon signature, gave the chance for him to be poisoned. This was
never proven since there was no post-mortem diagnosis of the body so
every assumption that could be answered were already included in the
grave.
22. Nazca Geoglyphs
www.world-mysteries.com
The
Nazca civilization is responsible for some of the most fascinating
geoglyphs on the face of the Earth. They include everything from
spiders, monkeys, sharks, orcas, and flowers, the precision of which is
incredible given that the Nazca had no way of examining their work from
above.
23. SS Ourang Medan
www.youtube.com
What
happened to SS Ourang Medan or “Man from Medan” in Malaysia is perhaps
one of the most fascinating and mind-boggling mysteries that ever
existed in seafaring history. Everything began with an SOS message in
1947 that mentioned the captain, along with the rest of the crew, was
dead. What’s worse, even the telegrapher died during the transmission of
the message. When the Silver Star was able to receive the distress call
and went to inspect the ship, they confirmed the deaths of all aboard.
Speculations of ghosts, hazardous chemicals, and even aliens have been
raised, but there is still no conclusion as to what actually happened.
24. Aluminum Wedge of Aiud
www.coolinteresting stuff.com
Back
in 1974, a group of workers in Romania discovered three different
objects 10 meters deep in a sand trench. Two of the items were
prehistoric elephant bones that have been dated as old as 2.5 million
years ago. The third object however, is an aluminum wedge that was found
together with the ancient bones. This discovery dumbfounded most
researchers, as aluminum was difficult to create even by 19th century
standards. While some call it evidence of extraterrestrials, others are
calling it a hoax. Whatever it is, we may never know.
25. The Mackenzie Poltergeist in Greyfriars
www.baby.ru
The
Mackenzie Poltergeist is one of the most famous attractions when taking
the City of the Dead tour within the Greyfriars Kirkyard in Edinburgh

faint as they enter and see the Black Mausoleum where Sir George
Mackenzie lies.did you scare like me? now I see the doors and the stones and Ithink that they have a secret, an horrific mysterie...
