9 strangest unsolved mysteries

This list we're looking at

the most bizarre occurrences that remain

unexplained to date .

Number 1. The Circleville letters

In 1977 residents of Circleville Ohio began

receiving threatening and harassing

anonymous letters we're not talking

about a couple or hundreds but thousands

of letters they all had the same block

lettering and they would target

politicians and leaders but also just

plain folks who had nothing to do with

the running of Circleville at all the

letters had very distinctive handwriting

and contained accusations of

embezzlement affairs and even murders

Ron Gillespie died under mysterious

circumstances after receiving a phone

call and announcing that he was going to

confront the writer was Ron Gillespie's

death an accident was he really drunk

that night and why had one bullet been

fired from his handgun his wife was

nearly killed by a gun in a booby trap

attached to a sign it turned out that

Paul fresh hour Ron's brother-in-law

bought the gun and his handwriting was

deemed to match the letters you know I

can't blame the jury because the jury

didn't hear all the evidence

but I just couldn't believe

it I was really in shock yet during his

time in prison people in town continued

receiving them even while fresh hour was

in solitary confinement if fresh hour

was the writer he wasn't working alone

we are writing this off as an unsolved

mystery four decades later the debate

over the writer's identity continues.

Number 2.Havana syndrome

Doctors said that diplomats brain matter had actually

changed what started out as a mysterious

nuisance what happened

became a suspected instrument of attack

since 2016 US officials and military

personnel have been experiencing strange

symptoms these include pain ringing in

the ears as well as difficulty with

cognitive processes a source says

starting last December the US officials

were exposed to a sonic device which

experts suggest could produce sound

waves below and above human hearing

which could cause these symptoms named

for the location it was initially

reported the embassy in Havana Cuba

Havana syndrome has since been reported

at US bases and embassies in various

countries while some of those suffering

from it have existing head injuries that

could explain the symptoms not all of

them do

the recording is just one of the many

sounds taken in Cuba that led

investigators to initially believe it

was a sonic weapon proposed explanations

have included a psychogenic illness the

sound of crickets or even a microwave

weapon while the CIA has concluded

that most cases were probably not caused

by a foreign power two dozen cases

remain unexplained accidental or

targeted Havana syndrome is yet to be

fully understood who or what caused it a

mystery the united states government is

still not sure who or what is

responsible for those health attacks.

number eight the max headroom hijackings

on November 22nd.

In 1987 the broadcast

of two Chicago tv stations was

interrupted both interruptions featured

an unidentified man dressed as the

British ai character max headroom

quarters finally

the masked man disparaged the local

station he was interrupting made several

pop culture references and got spanked

by a fly swatter the heavily distorted

audio rotating background and masked men

gave the hijackings an eerie almost

David Lynchian feel my brother

the hijackers couldn't be identified nor

did they come forward after the statute

of limitations on their crime expired

these broadcasts seem destined to remain

as mystifying as their contents take

some pretty significant

equipment technical equipment and some

knowledge of broadcast frequencies

microwave frequencies.

Number 3. Salish sea feet since 2007.

Residents of Washington USA and British Columbia

Canada have found some rather morbid

jetsam washed up on their beaches

detached human feet most of them were

found still inside shoes now you also

have to consider whether or not this

could be

a serial killer somebody who right now

is underneath the radar but physical

anthropologists cautioned that while the

spate of discoveries was new and

startling public awareness could have

prompted people to pay attention to

stray running shoes foul play has been

ruled out as most of the identified

victims were involved in accidents or

took their own lives it's been

speculated that the feet detached as the

bodies decayed and that the air pockets

and buoyant foam and sneakers floated

them to the surface too many unanswered

questions remain

who do the feet belong to

why are they always in running shoes

could something truly insidious be at

play in the region

but it still seems extremely odd that

there have been so many and all around

the same area there are still far more

questions than answers are these cases

connected how did the people die and how

many more feet are out there still to be

found.

Number 4. Roman jars in a brazilian bay

The historical consensus is that the

first european visitors to brazil were

portuguese who arrived in 1500 a.d

however it is possible that the romans

beat them to it in 1976

several amphorae or roman jars were

uncovered from the bottom of guanabara

bay off the coast of rio de janeiro this

caught the attention of archaeologist

and treasure hunter robert marks who

explored the area further and claimed to

have found up to 200 more m4e experts

dated fragments to around the 3rd

century however the idea that romans

arrived before the portuguese deeply

upset many brazilians and the government

banned underwater exploration so the

depths of this mystery remain unknown

Number 5. Gloria Ramirez's death while suffering from cervical cancer

Gloria Ramirez was admitted to an emergency

room in California in 1994 while

treating her the medical personnel

noticed odd symptoms including a greasy

polish to her skin a strange odor from

her mouth and oddly shaped particles in

her blood then several of the people in

the room began passing out overall 23

people were affected by these strange

symptoms and Ramirez passed away with

the initial diagnosis being from kidney

failure the most common suggestion for

Ramirez's apparent toxicity was that she

was taking dimethyl sulfoxide a home

pain treatment which combined with

several of the treatments turned into an

acidic substance another suggestion is

exposure to methylamine but no one knows

for sure.

Number 6. Trump family breakdown

No trump with an o in 2016

mark and Jacoba trump took their three

adult children on an impromptu road trip

hundreds of miles north leaving their

house unlocked mark seemed convinced

that people were out to get them and

forbade phones their son mitchell

brought one anyway but it was later

thrown out the car window he left not

understanding his parents paranoia later

the daughters left too stealing a car

before splitting up one Rihanna was

found in a catatonic state ultimately

all returned safely but no explanation

has been given specifically for what

happened whether it was shared psychosis

or someone was out to get the trumps the

case has fascinated the world ever since

i thought at first that trump had gone

missing

I saw that when trump's going to miss

him well there you go speaking of

delusion yeah exactly.

Number 7. Oakville blobs in 1994

Oakville Washington experienced perhaps

the strangest weather phenomenon of the

last few decades it rained blobs strange

goo fell from the sky over a period of

several weeks blanketing the town in

ooze and it made people sick

i got sick my wife got sick my daughter

what's even more bizarre is that the

residents experienced a widespread

illness that lasted for several weeks

too so what could this goo have been

someone

theorized that since the navy had been

conducting live bombing runs at sea

they might have blown up a school of

jellyfish

and of course this jellyfish would have

been thrown up into the air

and floated 50 miles inland

and over a period of three weeks

fallen six times was it evaporated bits

of jellyfish that reformed in a cloud or

maybe waste from an airplane the most

troubling theory is that the event was a

military experiment on US soil

translation

germ warfare

there are a whole mess of theories about

this messy and weird weather.

Number 8. The disappearance of Malaysian airlines

flight 370.

families waiting for mh370 they still wait and really they don't

know much more than they did that first

awful morning.

On march 8 2014 Malaysian airlines

flight 370 vanished while flying from

Malaysia to china after a loss of

communications and its disappearance

from civilian radar flight 370

reappeared on military radar having

deviated from its planned flight path

approaching the point at which Malaysian

air traffic control will hand over to

Vietnam

then captain Zahari makes a last routine

but now infamous radio transmission the disappearance has fascinated the

public for years and led to several

expensive searches it seemed impossible

for an entire airplane to just go

missing in an age where everything can

be seen by satellites although a few

pieces have washed ashore the bulk of

the aircraft and the reason for its

deviation remain unclear what happened

to the flight has haunted the world ever

since we're not used to planes just

disappearing

if they come down

we expect to be able to find out why

speculations have run the gamut from a

hijacking to being shot down to some

kind of equipment failure.

Number 9 The Jetlav pass incident in

1959

Nine Russian hikers were found dead in

the Ural mountains all were severely

injured several were undressed and they

had cut their way out of their tent from

the inside some were burned and others

slightly radioactive most seem to have

died of hypothermia or their injuries

the case has baffled the public and

authorities for over half a century

theories include an avalanche an animal

attack or military involvement the

the last photo taken by the hikers

before they died

it's out of focus but it seems to show

mysterious lights in the sky the most

plausible theory involves the group

camping against a heavy snow bank which

collapsed leading them to assume an

avalanche and freezing after they

escaped the tent but unless there really

was outside involvement only the victims

know the truth

the evidence here is both extensive yet

maddeningly incomplete and until we fill

in the gaps the case cannot be fully

closed.
