ABOUT THIS BLOG

This blog is about unsolved cases in the world. There are hundreds of things that have happened in every country that do not have an explanation even after policemen, federal agents, intelligence agencies and even scientists have looked into these.

This blog is going to list some of these stories that have been kept a mystery and never been explained. Some of them will be hard news such as crime scenes where no one was found responsible and there was no explanation; a spontaneous human combustion where a person was blown up with no explanation; a suspect in J.F. Kennedy's murder that was never again found.  while others will be soft news like some tyles that have been appearing in different cities around the world. 

All of the stories are very unsual.

These news stories are very entertaining and will please any reader that likes a thrill. People like these kind of stories because we always want an explanation to things, and it is very intriguing when there

isn´t one. 

I have introduced images and in some cases links and videos with the purpose of helping the reader get visual aid and further information if they are interested.

The fear of the unknown can be scary, which is why I used a sarcastic tone. But it is also thrilling which is why I think readers will like my blog.

I invite people to take a break of current news and read this blog to get entertained and informed with some of the most weird things that have happened in this world.

You will be surprised of how much human beings are not able to explain.

BLACKMAILING IN THE 80´S WITH TOXINS

  

A mysterious group of villains calling itself “The Monster With 21 Faces”, used cyanide and other toxins to send letters blackmailing two important companies of Japanese food, Glico and Morinaga.

This was a famous exortion case in the 1980s in Japan. It was primarily directed at the Japanese industrial confectioneries Ezaki Glico and Morinaga It currently remains Unsolved.

This started when the president of Glico was kidnapped in front of his family when two armed men broke into his house. This event was followed by  the setting  of several cars in the parking lot on fire, then a series of letters were sent in a plastic container along with hydrochloric acid and if it wasn’t enough, they claimed to have poisoned Glico´s candies, which resulted in the company losing $21 million dollars.

After all this, “the Monster” sent one final letter asking for forgiveness of Glico and then moved on… but to another company: Morinaga. This time they sent 21 letters full of Cyanide inside a box that stated “Contains Toxins”.

After this, “The Monster” kept on moving from one company to another, causing one of the police officers in charge of the case to commit suicide.

“We are bad guys. That means we’ve got more to do than  bullying companies. It is fun to lead a bad man´s life” were the Monster´s final words to the public.

                                                      

HARRY HOUDINI, THE ESCAPING MAN

-->

Is magic real? Or was he able to lie to so many people?

Harry Houdini was an American stunt performer born on March 24, 1874.  He was best known as “Harry Handcuff Houdini”, because he sensationally challenged different police forces to try and keep him locked up.

The mirror challenge was one of the most fascinating of all times. Houdini was challenged by the London Daily Mirror to free himself from a special lock that had taken a locksmith from Birmingham five years to make. He accepted, and after one hour of struggling finally managed to escape. 

In the Milk Can Escape, Houdini was handcuffed and locked inside a huge milk can full of water and escaped behind a curtain as part of his performance he invited the audience to hold their breaths for as long as he did. Nobody lasted but him. 

The Overboard Box escape was one of his favorites. He was handcuffed and locked in a sealed crate that weighed down in New York´s East River and managed to escape in fifty-seven seconds. This was one of his favorites.

 

Like these, he pulled off many kinds of different escaping acts, which no one has ever been able to explain. Maybe he just has supernatural powers. 

THE HARVARD STATUE OF 3 LIES

-->

In front of the university hall one of the most recognized academies in the world, Harvard University, there is a statue of John Harvard that was sculpted in 1884.

There is an inscription on it that says “John Harvard, Founder 1638”. This is known as the statue of three lies.

First of all, the man that is represented is not John Harvard.

“When the statue was made, the Great Hall had been burned, and every portrait of how long gone John Harvard looked like was destroyed, so nobody knew how he looked.” Said one of the tour guides in the University.

The model used was one of the students that volunteered to pose at the moment.

The second lie is that John Harvard was not the founder of the school. The Massachusetts bay Colony had established it and it was not until years later  that named after Harvard.

Last but not least, the year the statue says is not correct. Harvard was founded in 1636, not 1638.

Nobody knows why this statue has these three mixed up details, or if it was even made on purpose as some kind of trick to fool outsiders.

Who new Harvard students weren’t so serious after all!

 

The Woman with Babushka

ARE THERE PICTURES OF THE JOHN F. KENNEDY ASSASSINATION THAT WE HAVENT SEEN? 

What happened to the mysterious woman who was standing right next to the car when president J.F. Kennedy was murdered?

During the following investigations after this event, on November 22^nd 1963, police and investigators would rely on eyewitnesses to retrieve missing information. There was supposed to be a second shooter somewhere closer to the car that was never found.

There was one middle-aged woman, wearing a scarf of a tan, or light-brown color around her face and a trench coat this is where she got her nickname “The Babushka Lady” referring to the scarf. She had a camera in her hands and at the moment of the accident was literally photographing the events.

It is believed, because of how close she was to the car where Kennedy was murdered and the angle in which her camera was pointing, that she could have pictures of the second shooter.

A couple of weeks later, a woman named Beverly Oliver identified herself as The Babushka lady, but as she turned her film to authorities, they did not match with the position where she was standing in other people´s photographs.

“I had a Yashica Super-8 Zoom film camera,” said Oliver.

Police then discovered that no such cameras existed until 1967. They were never able to find this mysterious woman, and therefore, they couldn’t find the second shooter either.

Jack the Ripper

WHO WAS THE SCARY SERIAL KILLER KNOWN AS JACK THE RIPPER?

Despite numerous books, films, and theories published, the identity of Jack the Ripper remains amysterious and yet no one could explain who is Jack from the evidence.

This is the best-known given name to the serial killer that originated in London.

His attacks involved female prostitutes from the slums. He cut their throats after retrieving their organs from the abdominal area. Because of this,  it was believed he had surgical knowledge.

The killings took place from 1881 to 1888, and the identity of this assassin is still a mystery.

Jack the Ripper became a legend that inspired many authors to write novels, books and films.

Jack the Ripper! Few names in history are as instantly recognizable. Fewer still evoke such vivid images: noisome courts and alleys, hansom cabs and gaslights, swirling fog, prostitutes decked out in the tawdriest of finery, the shrill cry of newsboys - and silent, cruel death personified in the cape-shrouded figure of a faceless prowler of the night, armed with a long knife and carrying a black Gladstone bag.

Spontaneous Human Combustion

 

Can Human Beings Burst into Flames out of Nowhere?

An impossible event occurred in the extraordinary accident in 1951 where a woman was burned to death in her own house but her complete leg was left intact.

Mary Reeser, 67, was found burnt to ashes on July 2nd, 1951.
This is the most famous case of this nature, it has been followed by many more along the years.

Spontaneous Human Combustion is a phenomenon where a human bursts into flames for no apparent reason. It is believed that this is a reaction to alcoholism when the abuse of alcohol to the body would dramatically increase the combustibility of the body and when it had a spark of its own electricity it would ignite the body.

The room she was found in was in perfect state except for the corner where she was sitting in her armchair.

Her body was all burnt except for her left foot, still wearing a slipper. Which was perfectly intact.

This has not been explained.

“A temperature of 2500 degrees is necessary for the state in which her body was in, a Cigarette accidently dropped while asleep would never be the cause of such heat” said one of the doctors.

The Lead Masks Case

 

Alien abduction or time travel?

One afternoon in 1966, the nearby Vintém Hill in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil,  the bodies of two dead men were found wearing identical  suits and protective lead masks over their faces, the kind that are used to protect against radiation poisoning.

Vintem Hill is a known UFO hotspot in the world. 

Police  made their way to the scene only to find them in a severe state of decomposition. Right next to them were lying an empty bottle of water, a pair of towels and a notebook which contained the following message:

“16:30Hs be at the determined place.  18:30 swallow capsule after effect, protect metals, and wait for mask signal.”

Manoel Pereira da Cruz and Miguel José Viana made a living repairing televisions. They  where seen a couple of days before on a bus heading to Niteroi, which is 160 miles and 3 hours away from where they were found. 

Some of their close friends said  that Manoel and Jose were fascinated with UFO´s and electronics, and they knew that Vintem Hill was a UFO hotspot.

It has not yet been determined why they were found 160 miles away from where they were with no evidence to say it was murder.

45 years later, this story is still ridled with theories such as suicide, alien abduction and time travel. 

ARE THE DEAD RESURRECTED ON JUPITER?

 

Tiles engraved on the floor, suggesting the dead are resurrected on planet Jupiter have been showing up in weird places all around the world for 30 years.

This strange message is contained on a tile surface and they have come to be referred as “Toynbee Tiles” after the famous historian Arnold J.  Toynbee.

The tiles made their first appearance in Philadelphia. New York, of course, is no exception. There are over 50 of them in Manhattan.

Most of these contain the same message “Toynbee Idea in Movie 2001- Resurrect Dead on Planet Jupiter”. It is believed that they are based on a Ray Bradbury science fiction story “The Toynbee Convector, which speaks of the need for humanity to always look for ways to survive, and on Kubrick’s classic movie “2001: A Space Odyssey” which speaks of colonizing Jupiter.

The majority of the 130 tiles known are in Philadelphia, which leads to believe the inventor of these resides there.

After so many years, these  have become a cult phenomenon where dozens of websites search for answers as to the identity and the reason for their existence. 
There has not yet been any concrete explanation to this.

DETATCHED HUMAN FEET WASHING UP IN CANADA BEACHES

In British Columbia, Canada a place where people like to cut their feet off, are these just washing up on beaches, or should we be looking for a psycho killer at large?

Since August 2007, there have been human feet washing up in the beaches of British Columbia, Canada. Authorities have only identified four feet of three persons, it is not known whom the rest of the feet belong to.

It is known that 5 pairs of them belong to men, one woman and two others of unknown gender.

These feet have been detached from the body and are in poor conditions, some are beginning to disintegrate from the toes.

According to the New York Post, some investigators believe they are either remains of the 2004 tsunami or victims of a serial killer.

There are also some feet that have been showing up on with the shoes still on them. These are not decomposed, therefore there is another theory that they are from people who commit suicide from bridges that are on top of Rivers in Canada that flow to the Pacific Ocean and marine life feed from the body so the feet eventually come off it. This explains why the feet that are in shoes are intact. Fish can’t chew on shoes.

Bottom line, if you plan on vacationing in Canada´s Pacific side beaches, don’t be surprised if a couple of feet disturb your swimming!

DEAD MAN FOUND WITH NOTHING BUT A TORN PAGE WITH AN ENCRYPTED CODE.

On December 1^st, 1948, the body of a man was discovered in Somerton Beast in Australia. He was carrying nothing but a train ticket for later that evening.

At first, authorities thought he was poisoned because there was no trace of any injury in his body, but it turned out he was completely clean of any toxins or foreign agents in his body.

He was very well dressed, but all the clothes he was wearing had the tag cut off, so authorities could not tell where they were from. Some days later, there was a suitcase found in the train station where he was supposed to go which was linked to the man because it also had the tag removed. But there was nothing in that suitcase that could prove his identity.

After examining every inch of his clothing, detectives found a secret pocket on his pants that contained an encrypted message that said the words “Taman Shud”. This page matched a poem book called Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam.

It was found later in the car of another man who came upfront with the evidence.

“I had nothing to do with the murder of this man, the book just appeared in the back seat of my car” said the man who found the book.

Even now, after 60 years this mystery remains unsolved.
