Greatest Unsolved Mysteries of all Time...

The mystery intrigues us all and we are all made up of it at the deepest level. The world is a pandemonium of tangible and intangible stories, some true, some false, some unresolved that leaves civilizations and races speculating for generations. Given below is a compilation of some of the most talked of unresolved mysteries that continue to create buzz while the rest seem forgotten.

BERMUDA TRIANGLE

The devils triangle as loosely defined aka Bermuda Triangle is a region marked by three corners i.e. San Juan, Miami and Bermuda forming three vertices of the mysterious Atlantic ocean seabed area where too many unexplained naval and aerial disappearances have taken place to ignore over the decades even though there are denials and causes that bear no meaning some of them being Methane hydrates, violent weather, human error etc but mans arrogance on the basis of scientific accolades cant alter the fact that it is baffling when the numbers present themselves. Over a 1000 manmade machines have vanished in the past 50 decades and it somehow doesn’t completely isolate itself from paranormal or unexplained occurrences. The possibility of dating it back to a powerful civilization that owned energy crystals emanating death rays towards the triangle is a much-debated topic amongst scholars and the bed of the triangle has produced age-old medieval rocks that could be the after-effects of cursing the entire area. But all speculation and no factual analysis makes it only as mysterious as ever.

DOPPELGANGERS

Doppelganger is a German term which means the evil twin. It refers to paranormal phenomenon’s as mentioned by popular people such as Abraham Lincoln, Percy Bysshe Shelley, Emily Stage through their personal accounts or journals that now sell at auctions. It is believed that every individual has an identical but demonic twin that roams a parallel universe doing and experiencing the same things such as talking to family, working at a job etc. The awareness of such an entity becomes prominent when the person starts seeing his/her doppelganger which happens during deathful sickness or post-disaster. It also dawned on researchers that somewhat explains the phenomena of déjà vu and an extra unseen presence which is the twin that is following us everywhere and materializes only when something uneventful or extremely grave befalls the individual. In the case of Emily Stage, 50 students witnessed her twin with a black shadow that enveloped her writing on the blackboard whereas she sat in her garden pulling out weeds.

THE HUM

The hum is a mystery that predates the era of 1950’s when the reports of an incessant acoustic low- frequency disturbance came trickling in from certain zones such as Bristol(England), Taos(Mexico), Windsor(Ontario), Bondi(Sydney) and people complained of an agitating humming, throbbing, drumming sound that led to sleepless nights and depression. The possible causes were related to the activities in the hum prone zones but to no scientific explanation was found as to these ELF(extremely low frequency) “Hums” that were heard only by 11% of the total population within the zone becoming louder at night and fading during the day. It led to a couple of suicides back in the 1990’s and is said to have bedeviled people into experiencing nausea, headaches, suicidal tendencies etc. Researchers refute the assumption of it being a psychotic disorder or hypochondria and confirm the absence of any natural reasons behind it. “The Hum” continues to remain an intriguing mystery even today.

BABUSHKA LADY
“Babushka” means grandmother in Russian(who wear scarf’s) and the nickname arose during the aftermaths of President John F. Kennedy’s death when a mysterious woman was spotted at a very good vantage point with a camera wearing a light tan colored scarf (hence babushka). It was filmed by many photographers before the parade in 1963 in which he was assassinated by several shots and she is the main feature of most of those films. During investigations, she never came forward with the possible evidence her camera could have captured and was not found in the national database as well. Rumours were that America wanted to warn the involvement of Russians and hence cooked up a fascinating story but the visuals tell a different tale of their own. Her untimely vanishing and the stark difference from other people clicked in the pictures hinting at paranormal elements at play surely rendered the effective government machinery of the US useless. Who was this lady, where was she from, and where did she disappear remain unanswered questions till date.

POLLOCK TWINS

Joanna and Jacqueline Pollock were twin sisters aged 11 and 6 respectively and died a tragic young death in England when a car struck them as they walked towards their Sunday church. The sisters were very close and the parents grieved greatly, however, Mrs. Pollock became pregnant one year after the accident and the father insisted it would be twin girls despite doctors disagreeing. When Mrs. Pollock did give birth it was twin girls who they name Jennifer and Gillian (with Gillian being the elder twin) and the uncanny similarities and traits of the girls gave rise to the belief of reincarnation that was studied by many leading psychologists who had previously studied the phenomenon only in the eastern countries and confirmed the miracle. The twins had the same scars and birthmarks that made the case probably in addition to asking for the same toys, asking for the dolls of their deceased sisters by the same name, asking to go to the same park without the knowledge of their dead sisters and this was a new facet for the church to accept and remains a mystery till date.

KRYPTOS

Kryptos is an encrypted copper sculpted “Everest of codes” in Langley, Virginia, and is the fancy of all cryptographers in the world due to its fourth and toughest paragraph that defiantly remains obscure and challenging in the information leak plagued the US. Designed by artist Jim Sanborn located on the grounds of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), it has captured the curiosity of both amateur and professional cryptanalysts. Mentioned by bestseller of Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown and many others, it is nothing but a trailer of intelligence that even the CIA has failed to crack down. There are many other code mysteries that include the lost symbol etc and require the greatest acumen and IQ bearing too many questions since its dedication on November 3, 1990.

GREEN CHILDREN

In the kingdom of Suffolk under the reign of King Stephen in England, two children were discovered in the village of Woolpit by farmers reaping their summer harvests who were unlike the ordinary children they’d met before and didn’t seem of their world or kind with green hue to their skins and clothes of an unknown material speaking an undecipherable language. They only ate pitch of the bean pod and the boy(younger of the two twins) died later of sickness. The girl survived to tell the story of how they were underground inhabitants of the earth where everyone was green and the sun never came up. They were lost in a tunnel grazing their father's cattle when they heard the bells of woolpit church ring which they followed. Their story bears its testimony in the books that were written thereafter and in artifice’s stored in the London museum.

ZODIAC KILLER

A serial killer who became a popular case for the infamous letters he sent to the Bay Area police in northern California after committing homicide of 4 men and 3 women. He authored cryptograms in the letters and hints of which the only one has been deciphered. He was a man displaying blatant insanity and adopted the name Zodiac through the ultimatums he sent to the media and police playing with clues and future plots gaining notoriety by writing several letters to police boasting of the slayings, with swatches of bloody clothing as proof of his claims. The serial killer claimed to have killed as many as 37 people and has never been caught and remains a mystery to till date.

SHROUD OF TURIN

Shroud of Turin is a sacred linen cloth preserved in the royal chapel of the Cathedral of Saint John the Baptist in Turin, northern Italy and bears the image of a man who appears to have suffered physical trauma in a manner consistent with crucifixion but is believed widely as the same burial shroud of Jesus of Nazareth. Pope Francis carefully worded his statements on Easter celebrations 2013 saying “Icon of this man” should show us the way to contemplate Jesus of Nazareth not clearly authenticating the acceptance of the shroud as the original burial shroud of Jesus as the others had before him. This shroud is a mystery since radioactive carbon dating investigations failed to explicitly bring forth facts related to this stained and blood washed linen that makes it a real artifact for Catholics. It is not only an article of faith but for the past 700 years princes, paupers and priests have been making lifelong pilgrimages to just be able to stand in its presence while others who question it remain baffled at its current state that mysteriously awes everybody.

CITY OF ATLANTIS

Atlantians(civilization of Atlantis), were much like the Athenians and like all other civilizations(yet to be dug and found) their existence is based on its mention in Plato’s work that brings out the importance of state machinery and scholars argue that it was used hypothetically to prove the sanctity of governance in Greece. Though rocks and bridges have been found, it still remains a vague guess. It is through the book “The Republics” that the grandeur and battle/politics prowess of the city-state came forth with territory believed to be as large as Libya and Asia combined and gold worth the weight of all of Greece. They perished under water thrashed by the currents of the Atlantic ocean on being punished by Poseidon(God of water and earth) through a fatal earthquake and the entire city became submerged and lost forever. Since then, the rock(Gibraltar) or known as the herculean pillars became a fetish for all scholars and historians.

MH370

The disappearance of MH370 flight carrying 12 Malaysian crew members and 227 passengers from 15 nations on July 17 remains a mystery till date. The science and the math behind this tragedy which claimed more than 235 lives could not be answered through the black box technology or airplane movements or speculation that ocean debris is the lost plane itself. This remains the most recent and biggest unresolved mystery since no rationale has come forth on the possibility of it being a human error (suffocation of passengers while the plane sank in auto pilot as a result of intelligent guesses)and the chances of it being a favorite theory cannot be ruled out in the absence of any other fact as such. The Mayans foretold the beginning of the collapse of the world and the Monks say it’s the collateral price humans paid for their misgivings and their shall be more to come. While mothers weep and fathers wait to at least put a stop to the uncertainty that questions leave in wake of the devastation it caused in the lives of families of the victims, a search goes on to begin again what was started by humans in the first place , “A Conflict To Test The Waters” making it the biggest mystery today.
