Mystery
Visitors From the Past?
I’ve been meaning to talk about this for a while now. If you’ve followed my posts, you know I believe in extraterrestrial life. It just makes sense, doesn’t it? The universe is mind-bogglingly vast, and the odds that intelligent life only exists here on this tiny blue planet are astronomically low.

From Outer Space to an Egyptian Tomb
Researchers have a real knack for digging up ancient history, sometimes literally. They love to unearth old bodies and claim all their buried treasures in the name of science. This is exactly what happened back in the 1920s when archaeologists made one of the biggest discoveries of all time: the tomb of King Tutankhamun.

The Real-Life Jungle Book
Have you ever read The Jungle Book or seen the movie? I actually just watched it last week, and my number one question after watching the movie is (and this is a slight spoiler alert) how on earth could a grizzly bear, a panther, and a whole pack of wolves struggle to take down one tiger? I mean, later in the story, the kid basically takes down the tiger himself while on a boat!

Dream Home or Nightmare?
Are you currently house hunting? If so, picture this listing: a beautiful colonial-style home with five bedrooms, four baths, and 3,600 square feet. It’s a waterfront property looking out onto a serene lake, featuring granite countertops, hardwood floors, a two-car garage, and even a boathouse. Sounds perfect, right?

When Bugs Attack: The World’s Most Terrifying Insects
I think I speak for a lot of us when I say: I hate bugs. I get it, insects are a crucial part of the whole circle of life thing. But seriously, can we just get rid of mosquitoes? They are little flying spawns of Satan, and for some reason, they absolutely love me. It could be frigid outside, and one from a thousand miles away would risk freezing to death just to come and bite me.

The Real Mermaids: Captured on Camera
When someone mentions a mermaid, what pops into your head? Probably the classic, beautiful image we all know from stories and movies. But honestly, if mermaids do exist, wouldn’t they be more like, well, a fish? Think about it: kind of nasty, scaly, maybe slimy, and a little slippery. Their hair wouldn’t exactly be flowing and perfect, not after soaking in saltwater forever!

The Girl Who Cries Diamonds: A 1996 Mystery That Still Shines Today
It’s Saturday, December 13, 2025, and while I was thinking about what to chat about today, I stumbled across one of those utterly bizarre stories from the past that makes you wish it were a superpower you could unlock. Honestly, I wish I had this gift. There’s a tale about a girl who seems to have the real-life ability to cry crystal tears. Now that’s pretty cool and, let’s be honest, pretty convenient, right? Imagine: watch a sad movie, buy a house!

The City That Floated in the Sky
This story is one of those internet sensations that just hooks you right in. We’re talking about an entire, airy city, complete with what looked like towering skyscrapers or castle spires, that supposedly appeared floating right there in the clouds above two Chinese provinces: Fan in Guangdong and, a few days later, in Changi.
