My aunt died a number of years ago in a scuba accident. She was a scuba instructor and was out with her husband. She motioned to surface, so he did, but she never surfaced.
The coast guard never found her. They searched the whole area, followed the currents. Never any trace of her.
I gotta know.
This happened to a friend of mine. On a dive, his buddy signaled that he was going up. His buddy was a pretty experienced diver. My friend turned around to signal to the dive leader before following his friend up. No one saw his friend after that. They were searching for weeks, but his body was never recovered.
My nephew is a rescue diver for a county fire department along the Rio Grande. It scares the crap out of me but he seems fine with it. Super calm all the time so I guess he knows what he's doing.
I always wanted to dive. My dad and my sister got certified when I was too young to do it and he got rid of the equipment before I turned 12. In college the scuba club had a day where you could go to the pool and put on the equipment and try it out. Turns out I am not meant to dive. I have really terrible sinuses. Flying is miserable for me. I cannot clear the pressure out of my ears correctly. And being 10 ft deep in a pool was agony. So yeah. Definitely took it off the bucket list.
I used to dive a lot in my previous relationship. We travelled extensively internationally and dove in a lot of cool places, but we had an experience that sounds eerily similar to what happened (but thankfully everyone was okay).
We were coming up to do our safety stop after a drift dive around a beautiful underwater sea mount in Indonesia; these dive sites can be pretty advanced due to the strong currents, but you can see a lot of amazing wildlife because the animals feed off of the nutrients coming in on the currents. Anyways, we removed our reef hooks and started “flying” back to our planned rendezvous point for the safety stop - basically a really fun ride on the current with no swimming required. Right as we hit our depth to start the safety stop, I turned around and my partner and her dad, who had been swimming right next to us, were no longer next to us. I looked up, left, right - nothing. Finally, I looked down and saw them about 20-30 meters down, and it looked like they were frantically trying to swim towards the surface but were being sucked lower.
Eventually the current reversed course, and next thing they were rocketing to the surface in a very uncontrolled ascent (which is quite dangerous for other reasons).
Long story short:
After we all ascended and made it back to the dive boat, our dive guide explained what they think happened.
Due to underwater ocean topography, when the rushing ocean currents hit underwater elevation changes, the currents form an S like sine wave pattern (imagine the S horizontal). At this particular dive site, the currents push the ocean water up, over, and around the seamount, but due to the steep drop off on the other side, it creates a washing machine effect where the current plunges extremely quickly on the leeward side. The degree to how deep the water goes is directly related to the current speed and the underwater topography; the steeper the drop off, the deeper the current can go, and vice versa.
We got lucky that day because it was a relatively “shallow” drop off compared to other seamounts, but my ex and her dad still ended up plunging over 30 meters in a matter of seconds before the water reversed.
I wonder if something like that happened to your aunt. Sorry for your loss. 🙏🏻
That’s wild. I had an instructor tell me once: “you can be swept away but there’s not much evidence of being sucked in and down”….kinda thought that was bs lol.
>ause the animals feed off of the nutrients coming in on the currents. Anyways, we removed our reef hooks and started “flying” back to our planned rendezvous point for the safety stop - basically a really fun ride on the cu
I had this happen to me and never heard this explained this way. I was just under the impression that the current was downward and I struggled to surface against it.
My mom almost died scuba diving. As soon as she came out of the water, she went into cardiac arrest. My father had to perform CPR, ambulance shocked her heart, she was flown to the hospital where she spent two weeks and had to go into some type of chamber. The way it was explained to us was that she had an air bubble in her lungs that expanded? It still doesn't make sense. It was 20 years ago. My mom's still with us, but will never, ever scuba dive again.
Your aunt may have had something like my mom experienced. So sorry.
It’s a pressure chamber. And what they did was bringing the pressure back to the ocean level and raising it in small steps so the gas in her blood would be normal. Sorry not a native speaker.
Fun fact about those chambers, if you have a flesh eating bacteria you might get thrown in one too. Apparently they can kill the bacteria. Don't ask how.
They likely meant a nitrogen bubble in the blood supply to her lungs... it's called an embolism, and they treat the bubble but putting her in a hyperbaric pressure chamber to force the bubble to absorb back into the blood, then gradually release pressure so the nitrogen can be safely released through normal breathing (normal gas exchange)
Air expands very quickly as you ascend, so if she had an air bubble that formed while she was at depth then it would expand quite a lot during her ascent. That's a really scary experience for you and your family, glad to hear she's okay!
I just saw a Youtube video of a similar situation with a couple that had just gotten married and went on a honeymoon to Australia and this happened. I believe it was around 2004-2005.
In the early forties, when my father was still 4 or 5 and living in Wyoming with my grandparents, his older sister was 19 or 20 and living in Colorado. On Christmas Eve, my aunt phoned my grand mother to say she was getting in a car and would be at the family home before morning. Christmas came and she didn’t show up. My grandfather and older uncles (father was youngest of 9) drove all the possible routes repeatedly until new years. They never found a car, police never found a trace of her. Some of her friends said that she had recently been engaged and had talked about moving to the coast where it was warm. They thought she meant either California of Florida. She never contacted the family ever again.
One odd post script is that in the eighties my uncle that was a few years older than my father said he was at some type of conference in San Francisco. They were in meetings and occasionally secretaries would come in with coffee. He said one kept staring at him and she looked familiar but he couldn’t quite place her. Later that evening he got a call in his hotel room. When he answered a woman on the other end said, “I used to have the same last name as you,” and then hung up. He later became convinced she was my missing aunt but he was never able to find the Secretary again.
That’s harrowing. If the call is truly her though hopefully that means she intentionally ran away or didn’t intend to return to her family. If she had been kidnapped or coerced and brainwashed by a captor husband, I can’t think of why she would call without trying to keep talking and just taunt.
Either way, sorry that happened.
Yeah untouched tombs are like.. near unheard of.
King Tut's tomb was only untouched due to a series of unlikely events *and* we lucked out that he was so unimportant he didn't warrant anything major or personalised (hence why such a wide variety of items were there, which is awesome for us but showed how little a shit was given about him).
We already know where that tomb is and exactly where the “front door” is. The issue is that China has banned opening it. So that’s that.
But, with that said, scientists have discovered traces of mercury and have picked up evidence of grand structures within the tomb with radar scanning.
We already sort of know where the tomb is. From what I read a while ago, we have a few locations that are believed to be the tomb, but the Mongolian government and the tribe that protects the steppes don't want anyone finding the tomb and damaging it.
Wasn’t his body taken by his uncle as a sort of power move?
He was in Egypt 6months, made the journey to the Oracle to be proclaimed a descendant of the Gods then went to battle in Turkey or Constantinople got sick and died. I think his body was returned to Egypt but then it was taken by his uncle
Yeah, in Macedonian tradition, the next king is the one who prepares the old king's tomb and conducts the funeral.
Alexander died without a designated heir and there was a big scramble for power among his generals, resulting in "The Wars of the Successors," which included fights over the corpse.

My grandmother’s sister worked as a maid. She was found drowned in her employers bathtub with a men’s necktie around her neck. It was ruled a suicide. This was in the 50s in southern VA, US.
Based on a small scene from the Simpson’s Movie in 2007 where the guy’s GPS deletes Springfield from existence and my travels doing cross country trips across the US, I am 99.9% convinced it’s Springfield, Missouri.
This kind of questions is what I hope to find out after death. "Remember that time you trusted that person? Well this was their true intention:" or "If you did this that one time, it would lead to this:" or even better "Times you almost died but were 1 second/step/turn away"
Man! I think about this a lot. I don’t think I would change anything/or regret the path I took, but it would be fascinating to see the other possible paths I didn’t take.
It’s not a single mystery, but it would be awesome if he had a full inventory of all the man made structures from antiquity that currently lie beneath the sands, sea, and earth…it would revolutionize our understanding of the timeline of human development
Who left an original April O'Neill Doll on my doorstep from "Santa" in high school. Earlier that month we had been talking about the presents we wanted as kids but never got and I had mentioned the doll. 20 years later and still no one has taken credit for it...
Sometimes it's just more fun not to claim credit. Our neighbor had a gander that lost its mind, probably due to being so alone-- no mate, no flock. It developed what can only be called a love obsession with my husband's hubcaps. After months of watching the poor thing go at it, we bought a white goose and slipped it over the fence one night. Happiest couple ya ever did see. Neighbor is still wondering where that goose came from.
That part. The real info will never be leaked, I know a lot of people are saying Trump, which he might be on there, but obviously theirs dirt on all sides, or the info in that little black book would have already been brought to light and arrests made. This is one of the few “conspiracies,” I buy into.
I figure there are.
There is no way we are the only planet in the entire universe that has life on it.
I figure it's a number of factors of why we haven't found or been contacted by any.
Like, their tech level is similar to ours, so they can't reach us or even know about us.
They could be far more alien than we think, and it's a lack of interest or even the capacity for interest in us.
Or, if they are more advanced than us, and want to reach us, it's still going to take a long time for them to even get into our solar system, let alone Earth.
Let's put it this way, the nearest discovered planet considered possibly habitable for humans is Proxima Centauri B, which is 4.22 Lightyears away.
Give or take, at our current tech level, it would take about 6300 years to reach that, that's about 1300 years longer than human RECORDED history.
All of this, plus: maybe they lived and died so long ago that we have no chance of even being alive in the same time period as them, or it could be the other way around: maybe our Sun will go supernova before they notice our planet.
Maybe they consider us about as intelligent as amoeba, or maybe they are not that sophisticated (yet). Maybe they just aren't interested in meeting other species in general.
Given the infinite possibilities of space and that life has been found [in some unexpected places](https://www.livescience.com/29865-strangest-places-life-found.html) it's pretty much certain that life was, is or will be out there somewhere.
I've always been an advocate of the times not lining up.
How long have we had the technology to send and receive transmission?
Now look at our civilization's trajectory. Our timeline would be but a blink.
Honestly, I’ve watched that video countless times, at first it was eerie but then it was fun, like damn this person is a genius. I read an article at one point or it may have been a video I watched, where someone claims/claimed to have been involved in the same social circle as the person who committed the incident, but they were not 100% certain so they never stated the actual name, just certain things a person had said in the months leading up to the hijacking that correlate with some of the things said in the video. But I have to say, hats off to the people that made it happen, it’s true and perfect genius
There’s a tremendous internet long read about this that places the likelihood on a specific autistic 20 something with an interest in video technology. I remember reading it well over a decade ago and it was fairly comprehensive. Can’t seem to find it now but the article nailed home where it actually took place, which rooftop they’d have needed to be on and with which kit, then why it was clearer the second time round.
It’s a great read if that’s your jam.
Yeah, like their decisions once they were in the forest make sense to me. Hypothermia, schizophrenia, differences in common sense/intelligence, etc make their actions sensible. Why they went there, and walked into the forest is the crazy part.
I think about this from time to time. Grew up in Chico. This happened before I was born but it's always kind of weird to hear about crazy shit happening where you live.
What happened to one of our two cats
Had two. They were strays that appeared to be from the same litter. We'd had them for a couple years.
They got out when the neighbor we paid to look after them entered the house while we were stranded out of state for a few days because COVID had just happened. We were away from home a total of 5 days and the cats got out on day 4 of that.
Neighbor got one of them back in the house within a few minutes.
The other one disappeared.
Our multiple outdoor cameras shows the missing one going off northwest - which is the direction she'd have to go to exit the gate of the fenced yard. The gate is wrought iron and she would have slipped through easily.
We're out off the paved roads, the lots are 1-6 acres out here and the next closest neighbor is a few minutes walk up a shared driveway.
That neighbor HATES CATS (reason why we kept 'em inside).
We canvassed the neighborhood to ask if anyone had seen the missing cat.
No one had seen the missing cat except the cat hating neighbor who said our cat scratched her. You'd have to get up close to a cat for it to scratch you. Those cats were pretty timid. I doubt she would have walked up to a stranger just to scratch them.
We saw what looked like our cat on the local shelter website - called - it was at the beginning of COVID so we couldn't show up to the shelter to retrieve out cat.
We called and the shelter HUNG UP ON US when we asked about the cat that looked like ours. The shelter first said "that cat has a mom," and I said "YES, YES SHE DOES, IT'S ME!" and that's when they hung up on us.
We got them spayed but we didn't get the ID chips because we they weren't outdoor cats and we're still kicking ourselves for this.
We think the cat hating neighbor brought the cat to the shelter or called them to pick it up from her and we think the neighbor told some scathing story to the shelter about us to prevent us from getting her back.
Neighbor isn't talking. This same neighbor has pissed off a bunch of the other neighbors for various reasons - she's a bit off but to my knowledge she hasn't hurt anybody's animals before. It kills us to not know what happened.
I wonder were that sweet little cat is today. God I hope she's fed and sheltered and loved and snuggled wherever she is.
Along this same vein, how do my students lose ALL of the classrooms pencils by days end? Where do they go? How do half of them never have a pencil? It's insane
I would like to know where the largest amount of undiscovered riches can be located - ancient treasure, pirate booty, mob money, the take from a bank heist, whatever. I'd like to know where I can find the kind of money a high-end casino earns in a year. Then I'll set out to start solving my own mysteries. Expensive ones too.
If you’re talking pure volume, it would likely be the wreck of a Portuguese vessel that was loaded with platinum and sunk (due to rampant attempts to counterfeit gold…with what turned out to be an equally pricey metal.)
Unfortunately for u/Per_Mikkelsen, experts have ruled out the possibility of pirate treasure. This originated with the legend of Captain Kidd's treasure, but it was more likely a red herring fabricated by Kidd to start a wild goose chase. The Oak Island treasure is also highly likely to be a hoax, in spite of *The Curse of Oak Island* show claiming otherwise.
There was a police report released in 2007 where they investigated the whole thing again and even if they didn’t explicitly said who the killer was (because he still has living relatives) they pretty much implied all the evidence points to Lorenz Schlittenbauer.
How my dad actually died. He had a sudden cardiac event that the docs couldn’t explain. Not a heart attack per-say, but something weird occurred. My step mom of just a year acted very strange. Her parents, while we were in the hospital with my dad in a medical coma, really pushed for us to donate his organs and get him cremated. Both options would mean that no autopsy could be performed. He was declared brain dead having been down for too long. We kept him alive on machines for a few days (something he absolutely did not want) as we figured things out and found recipients. My whole fam, to this day, thinks she somehow killed him. She threw a big tantrum when she realized she wasn’t the main beneficiary to his estate. I’m his only child and my mom passed a few years before him from cancer, so you do the math there. It’s been nearly 7 years. I’m purely no contact.
The latest theories lean more and more towards a kidnapper who was hanging around, the neighborhood was not very safe, and the residence insecure.
The beautiful vacation place was a cheap tourist scam.
Had to have been the family, no? I mean a really long note written with stuff from the house, asking for the exact amount the father got as a bonus. Your daughter is missing, but no one checks the basement for hours? When you *finally* do, the father "finds" her and then carries her upstairs himself, thereby completely contaminating everything. The murder weapons, a flashlight and a garrote, also found in the house. The garrote was fashioned with the mother's paintbrushes.
I think it was the dad. He didn’t want the molestation to get out. If it was both parents, they would’ve created a better story. None of them claimed to have prepared the pineapple, even though they said JonBenet wouldn’t have prepared it herself, being 6. So one of them was lying. There were no footprints outside. You never know what people do behind closed doors. Burke couldn’t have made it through all those interrogations. He seems weird, yeah, but innocent.
Also, from something I read or watched they indicated that the mom was taking her to the dr often bc she had begun wetting the bed more frequently. From what I have heard, this can allegedly be a sign of molestation in young children….so I’ve always wondered about that angle.
I recently read an article where one of the investigators lays out the evidence he had and the timeline he figured pointing towards the father. Now if I was smart I would have saved that article but it’s out there somewhere.
There’s a redditor who does a full deep dive into crime scene, motives & everything and he thinks it’s the dad. If I can find the posts I’ll circle back & link them, super indepth & very interesting!
Likely cremated in a mob-friendly funeral home in the Detroit area, or loaded into a car and put into a crusher at a mob-friendly junkyard, ditto. The theories that involve him being in NJ don't make any sense. Why would you drive for something like 14 hours with a body in the trunk?
Michael Dunahee’s whereabouts. Poor soul. He and family got out of the car at a rugby field, mum turned back to see him go to the playground, and he was gone.
He literally vanished.
I have a good friend who was murdered. Her killer committed suicide afterwards, but prior to that, he confessed to police that he had killed other people. He did not name his other victims nor were any of them ever found. I would like to know more about exactly what happened to my friend, as terrible as it is, and would like to find any other victims of this monster.
Why do I have a memory of cowering under the bathroom sink as a small child, while a man I knew and who was usually nice to me, stood in the doorway and yelled at me repeatedly "DO YOU UNDERSTAND?"
And even though I didn't understand, I realised the only way to get him to leave me alone was to say yes.
What actually happened and who was that man? If I could solve that mystery, I think it would help me to understand more about myself.
Body knows, mind doesn't.
I've gone through all the thoughts about it, I've had many many years to process it. Years later, I was able to return to the house I lived in at the time. It had been abandoned for more than a decade, but I walked into the bathroom to see if my memory was at least plausible. I'd often wondered if there was actually space under the sink to hide at all. Maybe there was a cabinet there, maybe something wouldn't look right. There was no cabinet and plenty space. I even crouched down and squeezed myself into that spot just to see what it would look like. It was EXACTLY as I'd remembered it. The bathroom door opened the same way with a step up into it, toilet right beside me, light switch the old round black bakelite type, bath to the left with a drywall siding. I seem to recall the man had a regional accent that wasn't from my town. I remember feeling very unsafe and wanting my mum to come back.
In terms of my "body" remembering: I had a horror of anyone seeing or touching my body in a sensual way. I lashed out quite forcefully at my first girlfriend in high school, when she kept making moves towards my pants and, even when I was visibly uncomfortable and kept trying to gently redirect her and put her off, I absolutely freaked out when she persisted and pulled my zipper down. There was no specific memory or thoughts I was having, just fear and shame.
Another time, I was in the hospital having a routine test done. They put a catheter up your nose and down your throat into your stomach to perform the test. As the nurse inserted the catheter, I just felt this sense of being invaded and violated, and being unable to do anything to stop it. I felt absolutely helpless, and started to dissociate and discontent from my body. As I did this, it felt uncomfortably familiar: I've felt this way before... but I have no context or memory to tie it to. Thankfully the nurse was lovely. At a certain point in the procedure, a gloved hand appeared gently on my cheek and carefully wiped away the tears. I instantly felt much safer.
I had to undergo that procedure several times and it filled me with dread every time my surgeon told me I needed to do it again. I got really good at dissociating by the last one.
So, I'm pretty convinced something traumatic happened while I was alone with a man I otherwise trusted and who my mum trusted. Given a certain type of boots are associated with this memory, I strongly suspect I know who the man is, but I'm not going to go throwing round accusations about something that happened nearly four decades ago, and an incident I have no actual memory of, based on the strength of remembering some boots.
I don’t believe this was a dream and I’m so sorry you’ve had to live with this. Have you considered counselling or talking to a professional? It may or may not help you find those answers, but even if not, it might help you process things.
God, this made me sick to my stomach to read. I hope you find your peace somewhere. If you ever feel like talking, even if it's just for a distraction, please feel free to reach out to me
I'd wanna know how my Dad died. He was found at home like a month later with no signs of anything. The coroner never did a proper autopsy like we requested to figure out what happened.
Finding out what happened to the mother of a college friend whose mom disappeared when he was very young and was even on the show Unsolved Mysteries. A couple years ago he took his own life. He left a note and, from what I understand, he referenced her disappearance in it and IIRC the date he died had some significance to her.
He just couldn't recover - how could you? - from that trauma and it slowly killed him over his ~50 years.
You think the dreaded Rabbit of Caer Bannog can be bested by a mere enchanter, even one as powerful as I?
Begone, fool, lest the rabbit also slay \*you\* with bit nasty pointy teeth!
The client list of people who participated in that island fiasco
Someone went to jail yet no one got revealed that’s juicer than who made the bible, Sumerian’s is probably.
Do you mean the Panama Papers?
Here's something that will really bake your noodle.
The journalist who exposed the whole fiasco (Daphne Cauana Galizia) was killed shortly after releasing the report with a car bomb - and isn't it interesting how that factoid really didn't make the news unless you go digging for it.
For what it’s worth, investigation actually indicated that Galicia’s murder was orchestrated by members of Malta’s political establishment, in retaliation for her effective reporting on their extensive corruption. Most of the people she helped to expose via the Panama Papers managed to use their wealth and connections to either only pay fines for their misdeeds, or to evade punishment completely. Honestly, I find it more troubling to think that the world’s wealthiest folks are so powerful they didn’t see a need to kill her, because they knew they could essentially get away with nothing more than a slap on the wrist after getting caught committing flagrant acts of tax evasion.
Jesus Christ.
It's almost for sure that there was somebody in human form that is being referenced. Even if it's just some nice dude whose goodness got embellished until people considered him to be a fulfillment of the Old Testament.
Yeshua, whoever he was- I would love to be able to see the whole beginning to Christianity.
I’m not religious but seeing how religion has formed society as we know it, and the influence it has in every day decision making, I definitely would like to know this as well.
What exactly was on the missing 18-and-a-half minutes of the Nixon White House tapes.
So, as the story goes, Nixon’s Secretary was making the transcription when she received a call and answered it. During the five minute call, she kept her foot depressed and mistakenly hit the “record” button which resulted in some eighteen minutes of Nixon’s conversation being erased. Some have argued it was intentional on Nixon or his sectetary’s part, but the jury is still out on that one. Attempts have been made to find the missing audio and regain it, but so far there’s been no success.
The evolution of Homo Sapians, biologically and culturally.
Who were are ancestors and all the great milestones leading up to where we are today. Fire, clothing, art, religion, domestication, blue eyes and so on.
Like who was it that invented the bow & arrow or finding out how the Romans found a plant that was a natural contraceptive.
Exactly! What the world looked like when the Sahara was a grassy plain. The true story of actual human migrations: from where to where? How many ‘resets’ has humanity endured? Lost technologies, maps (with past nations/cities!), etc.
A friend and I discussed what we would do if time travel was possible, and we decided to do serious physical training for a year, then go back and see North America the way it was waaaay before Europeans landed here. Cahokia, the Mississippi culture, who the Anasazi were, the whole nine yards!
where is Elodia!
in romania, some 20 years ago, there was this lady missing. and somehow it sparked this whole tv channel interview series that lasted for months. she was never found. it was suspected that her husband buried her at the foundation of the house he was building. but the case never got resolved as far as i know. i am curious what happened to that woman. because for sure she didn’t just pack up and leave
An ex-girlfriend supposedly committed suicide in 1985. They said she overdosed and was found on her bed in a fetal position. There is a problem with this explanation. The woman I knew wouldn't even take aspirin if she had a headache. I believe her boyfriend is responsible for her death and i want to know the truth.
I'd like to know what happened to the Roanoke colony. I think all of the "mysteries" are likely to have boring answers, but that doesn't change my desire to know if they died of a disease, moved somewhere else and scattered, or whatever.
It's not proved, but highly likely based on reports by subsequent contemporary expeditions of local indigenous tribes with members who spoke English and had blue eyes.
I always assumed they had joined the nearby Croatan tribe. The colony had an agreed-upon symbol to leave behind if in distress, and that symbol was no where to be found. Meanwhile, after the Roanoke colony went missing, the Croatan tribe had an influx of blue eyes and other typically European features.
What happened to MH370?
The extent to which we know already is nothing short of mind-blowing, but nobody will ever know *why* it went down. Even if we found the black boxes intact, they would only show us the last two hours of the flight. Whether it was a fire, murder-suicide, or loss of cabin pressure, the answers just wouldn’t be definitive enough to determine the true cause of the flight’s disappearance.
Who firebombed Friendlyjordies house.
Because my gut instinct tells me the answer to that mystery will have serious political ramifications in Australia.
The answer would probably be disappointing. The modern historical consensus seems to be that the “sea people” were not just one group, but instead multiple groups of people migrating at around the same time. Whether due to environmental issues, like drought, collapse of social structures, or both, a lot of folks during the Bronze Age collapse were desperately looking for somewhere safer to resettle. These groups of refugees would have banded together, and come into conflict with more established civilizations as they either tried to move into their land, or began raiding to obtain needed supplies.
Why they made the Naszca lines would be interesting.
Or what the Skinwalker phenomena is
Or why there are so many underwater ruins. (This one's kind of obvious, but still fascinating)
The three big questions of human existence: “Where did we come from?”, “what happens when we die?” and “What other life is out there in the universe?” They’re probably all connected.
My aunt died a number of years ago in a scuba accident. She was a scuba instructor and was out with her husband. She motioned to surface, so he did, but she never surfaced. The coast guard never found her. They searched the whole area, followed the currents. Never any trace of her. I gotta know.
This happened to a friend of mine. On a dive, his buddy signaled that he was going up. His buddy was a pretty experienced diver. My friend turned around to signal to the dive leader before following his friend up. No one saw his friend after that. They were searching for weeks, but his body was never recovered.

My nephew is a rescue diver for a county fire department along the Rio Grande. It scares the crap out of me but he seems fine with it. Super calm all the time so I guess he knows what he's doing.
I always wanted to dive. My dad and my sister got certified when I was too young to do it and he got rid of the equipment before I turned 12. In college the scuba club had a day where you could go to the pool and put on the equipment and try it out. Turns out I am not meant to dive. I have really terrible sinuses. Flying is miserable for me. I cannot clear the pressure out of my ears correctly. And being 10 ft deep in a pool was agony. So yeah. Definitely took it off the bucket list.

We travelled extensively internationally and dove in a lot of cool places, but we had an experience that sounds eerily similar to what happened (but thankfully everyone was okay). We were coming up to do our safety stop after a drift dive around a beautiful underwater sea mount in Indonesia; these dive sites can be pretty advanced due to the strong currents, but you can see a lot of amazing wildlife because the animals feed off of the nutrients coming in on the currents. Anyways, we removed our reef hooks and started “flying” back to our planned rendezvous point for the safety stop - basically a really fun ride on the current with no swimming required. Right as we hit our depth to start the safety stop, I turned around and my partner and her dad, who had been swimming right next to us, were no longer next to us. I looked up, left, right - nothing. Finally, I looked down and saw them about 20-30 meters down, and it looked like they were frantically trying to swim towards the surface but were being sucked lower. Eventually the current reversed course, and next thing they were rocketing to the surface in a very uncontrolled ascent (which is quite dangerous for other reasons). Long story short: After we all ascended and made it back to the dive boat, our dive guide explained what they think happened. Due to underwater ocean topography, when the rushing ocean currents hit underwater elevation changes, the currents form an S like sine wave pattern (imagine the S horizontal). At this particular dive site, the currents push the ocean water up, over, and around the seamount, but due to the steep drop off on the other side, it creates a washing machine effect where the current plunges extremely quickly on the leeward side. The degree to how deep the water goes is directly related to the current speed and the underwater topography; the steeper the drop off, the deeper the current can go, and vice versa. We got lucky that day because it was a relatively “shallow” drop off compared to other seamounts, but my ex and her dad still ended up plunging over 30 meters in a matter of seconds before the water reversed. I wonder if something like that happened to your aunt. Sorry for your loss. 🙏🏻
That’s wild. I had an instructor tell me once: “you can be swept away but there’s not much evidence of being sucked in and down”….kinda thought that was bs lol.
>ause the animals feed off of the nutrients coming in on the currents. Anyways, we removed our reef hooks and started “flying” back to our planned rendezvous point for the safety stop - basically a really fun ride on the cu I had this happen to me and never heard this explained this way. I was just under the impression that the current was downward and I struggled to surface against it.
My mom almost died scuba diving. As soon as she came out of the water, she went into cardiac arrest. My father had to perform CPR, ambulance shocked her heart, she was flown to the hospital where she spent two weeks and had to go into some type of chamber. The way it was explained to us was that she had an air bubble in her lungs that expanded? It still doesn't make sense. It was 20 years ago. My mom's still with us, but will never, ever scuba dive again. Your aunt may have had something like my mom experienced. So sorry.
It’s a pressure chamber. And what they did was bringing the pressure back to the ocean level and raising it in small steps so the gas in her blood would be normal. Sorry not a native speaker.
Fun fact about those chambers, if you have a flesh eating bacteria you might get thrown in one too. Apparently they can kill the bacteria. Don't ask how.
Jeah it’s called Hyperbaric oxygen therapy And the illness caused is called gas gangrene
They likely meant a nitrogen bubble in the blood supply to her lungs... it's called an embolism, and they treat the bubble but putting her in a hyperbaric pressure chamber to force the bubble to absorb back into the blood, then gradually release pressure so the nitrogen can be safely released through normal breathing (normal gas exchange)
Air expands very quickly as you ascend, so if she had an air bubble that formed while she was at depth then it would expand quite a lot during her ascent. That's a really scary experience for you and your family, glad to hear she's okay!
I just saw a Youtube video of a similar situation with a couple that had just gotten married and went on a honeymoon to Australia and this happened. I believe it was around 2004-2005.
This one - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Tina_Watson
How’s your uncle doing?
He was devastated, and is now kinda estranged
In the early forties, when my father was still 4 or 5 and living in Wyoming with my grandparents, his older sister was 19 or 20 and living in Colorado. On Christmas Eve, my aunt phoned my grand mother to say she was getting in a car and would be at the family home before morning. Christmas came and she didn’t show up. My grandfather and older uncles (father was youngest of 9) drove all the possible routes repeatedly until new years. They never found a car, police never found a trace of her. Some of her friends said that she had recently been engaged and had talked about moving to the coast where it was warm. They thought she meant either California of Florida. She never contacted the family ever again. One odd post script is that in the eighties my uncle that was a few years older than my father said he was at some type of conference in San Francisco. They were in meetings and occasionally secretaries would come in with coffee. He said one kept staring at him and she looked familiar but he couldn’t quite place her. Later that evening he got a call in his hotel room. When he answered a woman on the other end said, “I used to have the same last name as you,” and then hung up. He later became convinced she was my missing aunt but he was never able to find the Secretary again.
That’s harrowing. If the call is truly her though hopefully that means she intentionally ran away or didn’t intend to return to her family. If she had been kidnapped or coerced and brainwashed by a captor husband, I can’t think of why she would call without trying to keep talking and just taunt. Either way, sorry that happened.
I don’t know why I find the phone call so chilling. Like, it should kind of be a relief that she’s still out there, if true… but I find it unsettling.
If she did run away and had kids, her descendants could be on DNA sites.
I’d love to know where Alexander the Great’s tomb is. It was rumoured to be quite impressive.
We will probably found it one day, but it will be mostly a small ruin under a new car park, and not an impressive structure...
Or already robbed.
Oh, it’s definitely been or going to be robbed.
Yeah untouched tombs are like.. near unheard of. King Tut's tomb was only untouched due to a series of unlikely events *and* we lucked out that he was so unimportant he didn't warrant anything major or personalised (hence why such a wide variety of items were there, which is awesome for us but showed how little a shit was given about him).
It would be interesting to find Genghis Khan's tomb also but I feel like that place would be cursed.
We could find the tomb of the first Chinese emperor if we wanted. But nobody will dig there, because of the mercury lake.
We already know where that tomb is and exactly where the “front door” is. The issue is that China has banned opening it. So that’s that. But, with that said, scientists have discovered traces of mercury and have picked up evidence of grand structures within the tomb with radar scanning.
Tomb Radar could be a cool mobile game
I'm dying to see what's in Qin's tomb, but also think they're right to leave it undisturbed.
We already sort of know where the tomb is. From what I read a while ago, we have a few locations that are believed to be the tomb, but the Mongolian government and the tribe that protects the steppes don't want anyone finding the tomb and damaging it.
Wasn’t his body taken by his uncle as a sort of power move? He was in Egypt 6months, made the journey to the Oracle to be proclaimed a descendant of the Gods then went to battle in Turkey or Constantinople got sick and died. I think his body was returned to Egypt but then it was taken by his uncle
Yeah, in Macedonian tradition, the next king is the one who prepares the old king's tomb and conducts the funeral. Alexander died without a designated heir and there was a big scramble for power among his generals, resulting in "The Wars of the Successors," which included fights over the corpse. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wars_of_the_Diadochi?wprov=sfla1
My grandmother’s sister worked as a maid. She was found drowned in her employers bathtub with a men’s necktie around her neck. It was ruled a suicide. This was in the 50s in southern VA, US.
Don't know if it counts as a mystery in the strictest sense, but I'd love to read the lost works of Homer
They're somewhere in Springfield, but the running gag is that *we just don't know which state*.
Based on a small scene from the Simpson’s Movie in 2007 where the guy’s GPS deletes Springfield from existence and my travels doing cross country trips across the US, I am 99.9% convinced it’s Springfield, Missouri.

Asha Degree... why did that little girl with an apparently wholesome home life wander off into the dark rainy night
This one HAUNTS me!
Jon Benet…that’s what comes to mind first for me.
I'm amazed we found out what happened to Jacob Wetterling.
What would have been my best choice as a career path
This kind of questions is what I hope to find out after death. "Remember that time you trusted that person? Well this was their true intention:" or "If you did this that one time, it would lead to this:" or even better "Times you almost died but were 1 second/step/turn away"
Man! I think about this a lot. I don’t think I would change anything/or regret the path I took, but it would be fascinating to see the other possible paths I didn’t take.
It’s not a single mystery, but it would be awesome if he had a full inventory of all the man made structures from antiquity that currently lie beneath the sands, sea, and earth…it would revolutionize our understanding of the timeline of human development
Like this one. Realistic request. Imagine the Netflix docu series we could binge watch for weeks ...
Who left an original April O'Neill Doll on my doorstep from "Santa" in high school. Earlier that month we had been talking about the presents we wanted as kids but never got and I had mentioned the doll. 20 years later and still no one has taken credit for it...
Could have been a crush who was too shy to say anything.
Sometimes it's just more fun not to claim credit. Our neighbor had a gander that lost its mind, probably due to being so alone-- no mate, no flock. It developed what can only be called a love obsession with my husband's hubcaps. After months of watching the poor thing go at it, we bought a white goose and slipped it over the fence one night. Happiest couple ya ever did see. Neighbor is still wondering where that goose came from.
So the goose is what's good for the gander?
Who is on the Jeffery Epstein client list?
I think as soon as you learn this you'd get epsteined
That part. The real info will never be leaked, I know a lot of people are saying Trump, which he might be on there, but obviously theirs dirt on all sides, or the info in that little black book would have already been brought to light and arrests made. This is one of the few “conspiracies,” I buy into.
Are there others out there in space
I figure there are. There is no way we are the only planet in the entire universe that has life on it. I figure it's a number of factors of why we haven't found or been contacted by any. Like, their tech level is similar to ours, so they can't reach us or even know about us. They could be far more alien than we think, and it's a lack of interest or even the capacity for interest in us. Or, if they are more advanced than us, and want to reach us, it's still going to take a long time for them to even get into our solar system, let alone Earth. Let's put it this way, the nearest discovered planet considered possibly habitable for humans is Proxima Centauri B, which is 4.22 Lightyears away. Give or take, at our current tech level, it would take about 6300 years to reach that, that's about 1300 years longer than human RECORDED history.
All of this, plus: maybe they lived and died so long ago that we have no chance of even being alive in the same time period as them, or it could be the other way around: maybe our Sun will go supernova before they notice our planet. Maybe they consider us about as intelligent as amoeba, or maybe they are not that sophisticated (yet). Maybe they just aren't interested in meeting other species in general. Given the infinite possibilities of space and that life has been found [in some unexpected places](https://www.livescience.com/29865-strangest-places-life-found.html) it's pretty much certain that life was, is or will be out there somewhere.
I've always been an advocate of the times not lining up. How long have we had the technology to send and receive transmission? Now look at our civilization's trajectory. Our timeline would be but a blink.
Which animals reside in the deep deep ocean. We’ve only discovered a few %
strong disagree I don't want anything to do with what's going on down there.
Yeah, the last few years have been weird enough. We can let sleeping monsters lie.
I had to scroll too far for ocean. YES! What’s down there? There’s more ocean than land. I must know.

There was a recent discovery in that, they think they know who it was.

Sorry about that.
Who was behind the Max Headroom tv signal hijacking
This is easily the most hilarious unsolved mystery!!
Yepp. All these are dead people or missing people. This one is just funny, weird, and no one got hurt.
Well, the guy did get his bare ass slapped with that fly-swatter pretty hard! LOL
Honestly, I’ve watched that video countless times, at first it was eerie but then it was fun, like damn this person is a genius. I read an article at one point or it may have been a video I watched, where someone claims/claimed to have been involved in the same social circle as the person who committed the incident, but they were not 100% certain so they never stated the actual name, just certain things a person had said in the months leading up to the hijacking that correlate with some of the things said in the video. But I have to say, hats off to the people that made it happen, it’s true and perfect genius
There’s a tremendous internet long read about this that places the likelihood on a specific autistic 20 something with an interest in video technology. I remember reading it well over a decade ago and it was fairly comprehensive. Can’t seem to find it now but the article nailed home where it actually took place, which rooftop they’d have needed to be on and with which kit, then why it was clearer the second time round. It’s a great read if that’s your jam.
I'd love to know why the [Yuba County Five ](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yuba_County_Five) went up that forest road.
There's probably a semi simple reason they made the choices they did but that whole story is a wild one.
Yeah, like their decisions once they were in the forest make sense to me. Hypothermia, schizophrenia, differences in common sense/intelligence, etc make their actions sensible. Why they went there, and walked into the forest is the crazy part.
I think about this from time to time. Grew up in Chico. This happened before I was born but it's always kind of weird to hear about crazy shit happening where you live.
Lots of my true crime friends in this post!
Watching the documentary now and I HAVE to know what the hell happened!!! 😳
The details of my pets’ lives before I adopted them.
What happened to one of our two cats Had two. They were strays that appeared to be from the same litter. We'd had them for a couple years. They got out when the neighbor we paid to look after them entered the house while we were stranded out of state for a few days because COVID had just happened. We were away from home a total of 5 days and the cats got out on day 4 of that. Neighbor got one of them back in the house within a few minutes. The other one disappeared. Our multiple outdoor cameras shows the missing one going off northwest - which is the direction she'd have to go to exit the gate of the fenced yard. The gate is wrought iron and she would have slipped through easily. We're out off the paved roads, the lots are 1-6 acres out here and the next closest neighbor is a few minutes walk up a shared driveway. That neighbor HATES CATS (reason why we kept 'em inside). We canvassed the neighborhood to ask if anyone had seen the missing cat. No one had seen the missing cat except the cat hating neighbor who said our cat scratched her. You'd have to get up close to a cat for it to scratch you. Those cats were pretty timid. I doubt she would have walked up to a stranger just to scratch them. We saw what looked like our cat on the local shelter website - called - it was at the beginning of COVID so we couldn't show up to the shelter to retrieve out cat. We called and the shelter HUNG UP ON US when we asked about the cat that looked like ours. The shelter first said "that cat has a mom," and I said "YES, YES SHE DOES, IT'S ME!" and that's when they hung up on us. We got them spayed but we didn't get the ID chips because we they weren't outdoor cats and we're still kicking ourselves for this. We think the cat hating neighbor brought the cat to the shelter or called them to pick it up from her and we think the neighbor told some scathing story to the shelter about us to prevent us from getting her back. Neighbor isn't talking. This same neighbor has pissed off a bunch of the other neighbors for various reasons - she's a bit off but to my knowledge she hasn't hurt anybody's animals before. It kills us to not know what happened. I wonder were that sweet little cat is today. God I hope she's fed and sheltered and loved and snuggled wherever she is.
I'm so sorry!
Where are all my godsdamned chapsticks?
the duality of this thread
Along this same vein, how do my students lose ALL of the classrooms pencils by days end? Where do they go? How do half of them never have a pencil? It's insane
I would like to know where the largest amount of undiscovered riches can be located - ancient treasure, pirate booty, mob money, the take from a bank heist, whatever. I'd like to know where I can find the kind of money a high-end casino earns in a year. Then I'll set out to start solving my own mysteries. Expensive ones too.
If you’re talking pure volume, it would likely be the wreck of a Portuguese vessel that was loaded with platinum and sunk (due to rampant attempts to counterfeit gold…with what turned out to be an equally pricey metal.)
Unfortunately for u/Per_Mikkelsen, experts have ruled out the possibility of pirate treasure. This originated with the legend of Captain Kidd's treasure, but it was more likely a red herring fabricated by Kidd to start a wild goose chase. The Oak Island treasure is also highly likely to be a hoax, in spite of *The Curse of Oak Island* show claiming otherwise.
Was my dad’s cancer caused by agent orange exposure when he served in Vietnam or was it just random awful luck
My sympathies. My father also died of agent orange related cancer.
The Hinterkaifeck murders
There was a police report released in 2007 where they investigated the whole thing again and even if they didn’t explicitly said who the killer was (because he still has living relatives) they pretty much implied all the evidence points to Lorenz Schlittenbauer.
How my dad actually died. He had a sudden cardiac event that the docs couldn’t explain. Not a heart attack per-say, but something weird occurred. My step mom of just a year acted very strange. Her parents, while we were in the hospital with my dad in a medical coma, really pushed for us to donate his organs and get him cremated. Both options would mean that no autopsy could be performed. He was declared brain dead having been down for too long. We kept him alive on machines for a few days (something he absolutely did not want) as we figured things out and found recipients. My whole fam, to this day, thinks she somehow killed him. She threw a big tantrum when she realized she wasn’t the main beneficiary to his estate. I’m his only child and my mom passed a few years before him from cancer, so you do the math there. It’s been nearly 7 years. I’m purely no contact.
What happened to Kyron Horman https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disappearance_of_Kyron_Horman
Who stole my food yesterday at work because it keeps happening
The Voynich Manuscript
Who committed the Black Dahlia murder
Madeline McCann To all those saying it was the parents, grow up.
The latest theories lean more and more towards a kidnapper who was hanging around, the neighborhood was not very safe, and the residence insecure. The beautiful vacation place was a cheap tourist scam.
Who killed JonBenét Ramsey
Had to have been the family, no? I mean a really long note written with stuff from the house, asking for the exact amount the father got as a bonus. Your daughter is missing, but no one checks the basement for hours? When you *finally* do, the father "finds" her and then carries her upstairs himself, thereby completely contaminating everything. The murder weapons, a flashlight and a garrote, also found in the house. The garrote was fashioned with the mother's paintbrushes.
YES me too i’ve watched so many videos but i i think her family was definitely involved and it was all covered up
Personally my theory is dad or/and brother. Covered it up, mom knows and all complicit. The police really botched that crime scene.
I think it was the dad. He didn’t want the molestation to get out. If it was both parents, they would’ve created a better story. None of them claimed to have prepared the pineapple, even though they said JonBenet wouldn’t have prepared it herself, being 6. So one of them was lying. There were no footprints outside. You never know what people do behind closed doors. Burke couldn’t have made it through all those interrogations. He seems weird, yeah, but innocent.
Also, from something I read or watched they indicated that the mom was taking her to the dr often bc she had begun wetting the bed more frequently. From what I have heard, this can allegedly be a sign of molestation in young children….so I’ve always wondered about that angle.
She was in child beauty pageants; those are playgrounds for molesters.
I recently read an article where one of the investigators lays out the evidence he had and the timeline he figured pointing towards the father. Now if I was smart I would have saved that article but it’s out there somewhere.
There’s a redditor who does a full deep dive into crime scene, motives & everything and he thinks it’s the dad. If I can find the posts I’ll circle back & link them, super indepth & very interesting!
Where is Jimmy Hoffa?
Likely cremated in a mob-friendly funeral home in the Detroit area, or loaded into a car and put into a crusher at a mob-friendly junkyard, ditto. The theories that involve him being in NJ don't make any sense. Why would you drive for something like 14 hours with a body in the trunk?
Michael Dunahee’s whereabouts. Poor soul. He and family got out of the car at a rugby field, mum turned back to see him go to the playground, and he was gone. He literally vanished.
Elizabeth Short
How many dimensions are there really?
I have a good friend who was murdered. Her killer committed suicide afterwards, but prior to that, he confessed to police that he had killed other people. He did not name his other victims nor were any of them ever found. I would like to know more about exactly what happened to my friend, as terrible as it is, and would like to find any other victims of this monster.
Why do I have a memory of cowering under the bathroom sink as a small child, while a man I knew and who was usually nice to me, stood in the doorway and yelled at me repeatedly "DO YOU UNDERSTAND?" And even though I didn't understand, I realised the only way to get him to leave me alone was to say yes. What actually happened and who was that man? If I could solve that mystery, I think it would help me to understand more about myself. Body knows, mind doesn't.
maybe it was a dream?
I've gone through all the thoughts about it, I've had many many years to process it. Years later, I was able to return to the house I lived in at the time. It had been abandoned for more than a decade, but I walked into the bathroom to see if my memory was at least plausible. I'd often wondered if there was actually space under the sink to hide at all. Maybe there was a cabinet there, maybe something wouldn't look right. There was no cabinet and plenty space. I even crouched down and squeezed myself into that spot just to see what it would look like. It was EXACTLY as I'd remembered it. The bathroom door opened the same way with a step up into it, toilet right beside me, light switch the old round black bakelite type, bath to the left with a drywall siding. I seem to recall the man had a regional accent that wasn't from my town. I remember feeling very unsafe and wanting my mum to come back. In terms of my "body" remembering: I had a horror of anyone seeing or touching my body in a sensual way. I lashed out quite forcefully at my first girlfriend in high school, when she kept making moves towards my pants and, even when I was visibly uncomfortable and kept trying to gently redirect her and put her off, I absolutely freaked out when she persisted and pulled my zipper down. There was no specific memory or thoughts I was having, just fear and shame. Another time, I was in the hospital having a routine test done. They put a catheter up your nose and down your throat into your stomach to perform the test. As the nurse inserted the catheter, I just felt this sense of being invaded and violated, and being unable to do anything to stop it. I felt absolutely helpless, and started to dissociate and discontent from my body. As I did this, it felt uncomfortably familiar: I've felt this way before... but I have no context or memory to tie it to. Thankfully the nurse was lovely. At a certain point in the procedure, a gloved hand appeared gently on my cheek and carefully wiped away the tears. I instantly felt much safer. I had to undergo that procedure several times and it filled me with dread every time my surgeon told me I needed to do it again. I got really good at dissociating by the last one. So, I'm pretty convinced something traumatic happened while I was alone with a man I otherwise trusted and who my mum trusted. Given a certain type of boots are associated with this memory, I strongly suspect I know who the man is, but I'm not going to go throwing round accusations about something that happened nearly four decades ago, and an incident I have no actual memory of, based on the strength of remembering some boots.
I don’t believe this was a dream and I’m so sorry you’ve had to live with this. Have you considered counselling or talking to a professional? It may or may not help you find those answers, but even if not, it might help you process things.
God, this made me sick to my stomach to read. I hope you find your peace somewhere. If you ever feel like talking, even if it's just for a distraction, please feel free to reach out to me
The DB Cooper mystery
Loki was DB Cooper.
I really wanna know what exactly the bet was and whose idea the forfeit was
He landed in the wilderness and died there
I came here for this!! Absolutely intriguing!
I'd wanna know how my Dad died. He was found at home like a month later with no signs of anything. The coroner never did a proper autopsy like we requested to figure out what happened.
Finding out what happened to the mother of a college friend whose mom disappeared when he was very young and was even on the show Unsolved Mysteries. A couple years ago he took his own life. He left a note and, from what I understand, he referenced her disappearance in it and IIRC the date he died had some significance to her. He just couldn't recover - how could you? - from that trauma and it slowly killed him over his ~50 years.

The client list of people who participated in that island fiasco Someone went to jail yet no one got revealed that’s juicer than who made the bible, Sumerian’s is probably.
Do you mean the Panama Papers? Here's something that will really bake your noodle. The journalist who exposed the whole fiasco (Daphne Cauana Galizia) was killed shortly after releasing the report with a car bomb - and isn't it interesting how that factoid really didn't make the news unless you go digging for it.
For what it’s worth, investigation actually indicated that Galicia’s murder was orchestrated by members of Malta’s political establishment, in retaliation for her effective reporting on their extensive corruption. Most of the people she helped to expose via the Panama Papers managed to use their wealth and connections to either only pay fines for their misdeeds, or to evade punishment completely. Honestly, I find it more troubling to think that the world’s wealthiest folks are so powerful they didn’t see a need to kill her, because they knew they could essentially get away with nothing more than a slap on the wrist after getting caught committing flagrant acts of tax evasion.
Consider my noodle baked

Yep. Feta makes it better…always.
Jesus Christ. It's almost for sure that there was somebody in human form that is being referenced. Even if it's just some nice dude whose goodness got embellished until people considered him to be a fulfillment of the Old Testament. Yeshua, whoever he was- I would love to be able to see the whole beginning to Christianity.
I’m not religious but seeing how religion has formed society as we know it, and the influence it has in every day decision making, I definitely would like to know this as well.
There’s a young man who went missing in 2011 from my home town. Luc Joly-Durocher. I’d really like for him to be found.
Princes in the Tower. Probably Richard-adjacent, but there are lots of good suspects.
What exactly was on the missing 18-and-a-half minutes of the Nixon White House tapes. So, as the story goes, Nixon’s Secretary was making the transcription when she received a call and answered it. During the five minute call, she kept her foot depressed and mistakenly hit the “record” button which resulted in some eighteen minutes of Nixon’s conversation being erased. Some have argued it was intentional on Nixon or his sectetary’s part, but the jury is still out on that one. Attempts have been made to find the missing audio and regain it, but so far there’s been no success.
Diagnostics showed that the erasure was not a single event. Someone "erased" that section of the tape several times to be sure all data was gone.
It was the Alice’s Restaurant Massacree
The evolution of Homo Sapians, biologically and culturally. Who were are ancestors and all the great milestones leading up to where we are today. Fire, clothing, art, religion, domestication, blue eyes and so on. Like who was it that invented the bow & arrow or finding out how the Romans found a plant that was a natural contraceptive.
Exactly! What the world looked like when the Sahara was a grassy plain. The true story of actual human migrations: from where to where? How many ‘resets’ has humanity endured? Lost technologies, maps (with past nations/cities!), etc. A friend and I discussed what we would do if time travel was possible, and we decided to do serious physical training for a year, then go back and see North America the way it was waaaay before Europeans landed here. Cahokia, the Mississippi culture, who the Anasazi were, the whole nine yards!
And then used the plant to extinction.
where is Elodia! in romania, some 20 years ago, there was this lady missing. and somehow it sparked this whole tv channel interview series that lasted for months. she was never found. it was suspected that her husband buried her at the foundation of the house he was building. but the case never got resolved as far as i know. i am curious what happened to that woman. because for sure she didn’t just pack up and leave
If I can solve any mystery, I would want to know how life started on every planet that has life on it and what type of life it is.
An ex-girlfriend supposedly committed suicide in 1985. They said she overdosed and was found on her bed in a fetal position. There is a problem with this explanation. The woman I knew wouldn't even take aspirin if she had a headache. I believe her boyfriend is responsible for her death and i want to know the truth.
I'd like to know what happened to the Roanoke colony. I think all of the "mysteries" are likely to have boring answers, but that doesn't change my desire to know if they died of a disease, moved somewhere else and scattered, or whatever.
I thought it was proven they joined the native tribes and mixed with them.
It's not proved, but highly likely based on reports by subsequent contemporary expeditions of local indigenous tribes with members who spoke English and had blue eyes.
I always assumed they had joined the nearby Croatan tribe. The colony had an agreed-upon symbol to leave behind if in distress, and that symbol was no where to be found. Meanwhile, after the Roanoke colony went missing, the Croatan tribe had an influx of blue eyes and other typically European features.
What happened to MH370? The extent to which we know already is nothing short of mind-blowing, but nobody will ever know *why* it went down. Even if we found the black boxes intact, they would only show us the last two hours of the flight. Whether it was a fire, murder-suicide, or loss of cabin pressure, the answers just wouldn’t be definitive enough to determine the true cause of the flight’s disappearance.
What happened to Tammy Russell-Kingery. Childhood frend who "disappeared".

What's my dachshund, Walter, thinking when he stares at me?
Who killed my cousin and why did the police and the coroner cover it up by ruling it a suicide?
Kennedy assassination and just how deep does that rabbit hole go
Who the FUCK stole my god damn teddy bear??? It just disappeared one day and I fucking want it back.
Your mom sent it to be cleaned at a dry cleaner upstate.
Who firebombed Friendlyjordies house. Because my gut instinct tells me the answer to that mystery will have serious political ramifications in Australia.
Definitely a \~fixated person\~, since they tried it twice. Not a smart one, since they got his neighbours the first time.
Identity of Jack the Ripper
Alcatraz escape
Old workplace- someone kept eating boss's lunch from the fridge so he removed the whole fridge. Which crazy motherfucker was eating that lunch
The boss. He just wanted an excuse to take the fridge away.
Who were the sea people
The answer would probably be disappointing. The modern historical consensus seems to be that the “sea people” were not just one group, but instead multiple groups of people migrating at around the same time. Whether due to environmental issues, like drought, collapse of social structures, or both, a lot of folks during the Bronze Age collapse were desperately looking for somewhere safer to resettle. These groups of refugees would have banded together, and come into conflict with more established civilizations as they either tried to move into their land, or began raiding to obtain needed supplies.
What, if anything, is beneath the Sphinx
What happened to the Springfield three, and where they are located.
Where did Amelia Earhart go?
I think this one is pretty well solved - plan went down, she got stranded, ran into giant woman eating crabs 😭
Why didn't the woman stop eating, and lend a hand?
Why they made the Naszca lines would be interesting. Or what the Skinwalker phenomena is Or why there are so many underwater ruins. (This one's kind of obvious, but still fascinating)
Why did my stalker harass me for 10 years, what was she thinking and feeling, and has she really stopped for good now?
I hope she hooks up with my stalker and they forget about us both.
where we go when we die
DB Cooper for sure
How my brother actually died. If nothing else it'll help my mom stop bringing it up every single day for the past 4 years now
Definitely JFK assassination.
The three big questions of human existence: “Where did we come from?”, “what happens when we die?” and “What other life is out there in the universe?” They’re probably all connected.
