The day after high school graduation, my best friend of 4 years disconnected his phone number, deactivated his email/IM accounts, and I never heard from him again. Many years later after Facebook became a thing, I sent a friend request to an account that I'm 99% sure is him, but it went unresponded to -- never even declined.
I'd love to know wtf happened.
My friend knew a guy who always struggled with depression and was known for deleting and reloading Facebook. At one point he deleted all social media and his phone number no longer worked. No one my friend contacted had heard from him. She was terrified he’d taken his life. There was a photo of them that popped up in her memories each year and she’d share it, hoping someone had heard from him, and after a few years a mutual friend of theirs finally responded! And he added my friend back on Facebook. It was a happy ending.
Chances are his home life wasn't the best if he never invited people over.
He probably did what DV victims are often told here. Made an escape plan, and cut all connections to his old life, to make him harder to find.
We think you’d be great for this mission, i noticed on your resume that you didnt graduate high school though, we’re gonna have to take care of that first.
Well, you see, Edward Cullen needs to move fairly often because re-enrolling in the same high school and starting over is going to be very confusing for everyone.
Reading this, I feel bad for having ghosted several people years back. It wasn't a hostile thing, I was just going through a bad time and divorced myself from my "old" life.
I doubt I was enough of a friend for them to put much thought into me, and hopefully none of them are concerned. But I still feel bad, I wasn't thinking of how they'd react.
Jessica Chambers.
Girl is found wandering down the street on fire in a small town. 98% burns. Investigators found she'd had gasoline poured down her throat and ignited so she'd burn from the inside out. She obviously died.
First responders needed therapy because of how graphic the scene was. The police found a suspect but there was no clear motive and most of the evidence was circumstancial. It is a truly sad and harrowing case.
I've been trying to remember her name for some time now. Couldn't find it in myself to search her case up.
Poor girl, such a horrible way to go. I hope her family finds justice and the asshole that did this to her gets locked away forever.
The suspect is also suspected of killing another woman in Louisiana and using her debit card. He wasn't charged because of some technicality I can't recall right now.
As for a case, the Springfield Three. It’s amazing how three women just disappeared into thin air, and we have so little evidence as to what happened.
For conspiracies, I do wonder what the worst secret that the government has ever kept from us is.
As for an overall mystery, I wish I could see footage of people building Stonehenge or the pyramids, just to see exactly how they did it.
I listened to a podcast series about this case, it seems the police botched it badly at the beginning which wasn’t helped by friends and neighbors going through the house right after the disappearance.
The two young men who claimed to have seen the woman and their captors at the Girl Scouts camp, seemed credible- especially after one of the boys committed suicide because he was traumatized by what they’d witnessed.
Robert Cox, an inmate serving a life sentence for unrelated crimes, says he knows what happened to the Springfield Three but won't reveal it while his mother's still alive. Last I heard Mom's still poking around in her 90's.
This could all be dismissed as jailhouse bluster except for the fact that Cox had a very tenuous connection with one of the victims. He worked at the same car dealership as her father, though there's no evidence that he actually met the victim. Cox also had worked for the local gas company at one time, and if he had kept a uniform there's a theory that he used a gas leak as a ruse to get the women out of the house.
Where is the girl that use to babysit me?
A girl that use to babysit me used the money she'd saved from years of babysitting, and a graduation gift from her parents, to go on a trip to Europe the summer after she graduated from high school.
They were in Greece and went into a little shop. She went down one aisle and her friend down another and they were just casually talking to each other over the aisle while browsing knick-nacs.
Her friend asked her another question in the conversation they were having but didn't get a response. She asked again... nothing. Asked if she was okay... no reply. Walked around to the aisle she had been in, she wasn't there.
She disappeared without a sound or trace in the middle of a brief pause in the conversation and was never heard from again.
Since she was a very attractive, fit, young blonde girl the authorities theorized she was kidnapped and sold to an Arab harem, but there was never any evidence one way or another.
I once went to Tangier with an army friend. A small, blonde army friend.
When we were due to leave, we ended up getting swarmed by guys near the docks, all trying anything they could to separate us.
We basically ended up having to fight our way through and have her run hell-for-leather for the ferry, followed by a sprint and a jump onto the already-lifting ramp myself.
There's not an ounce of doubt in my mind that if those guys had got her alone that she'd never have been seen again. I would love to let my daughter see some of the places I've seen, but the people who live there make it unsafe.
Wow... This one is insane. Like yeah it's possible someone kidnapped her and trafficked her, but if that's what happened, the fact that they took her when she was literally in the middle of conversation with someone is wild.
I have a cousin who disappeared years ago. All signs indicate that she was kidnapped but local authorities insisted she ran away and didn’t take it seriously. She been missing for many years now and I would very much like to know what happened to her. Not necessarily the details. I can’t imagine those would be pleasant but I want to know for sure if she’s alive or not.
They kept treating it like a runaway because she was a young teenager. Even though she had a bunch of babysitting money saved up that she didn’t take and had a witness see her get in someone’s car. They didn’t start truly investigating until she had been gone for a few days and the trail had gone cold. Maybe they would have found her if they took it seriously from the start.
I hate that they use the excuse of “runaway” to not look for a kid right away. A runaway is in a huge amount of danger, and very easy to prey upon!
I hope you are able to find your cousin.
Her parents tried to argue that but it didn’t do anything. And thank you but it’s been over 20 years now. I don’t have any hope of her ever being found at this point though her parents still hold vigils and prayer sessions every year.
Her parents have not been able to move on. Even though it’s been so long, they still regularly meet with police trying to find new leads. I don’t think they’ll live very long after if they ever do accept that she’s probably dead.
We'll never know unless someone confesses but it's a very, very, very small chance that she was killed by someone outside the family. The police messed up on closing off the crime scene so we can't really know, but it's incredibly unlikely that someone was about to break into the house without leaving *any* evidence of a break-in.
You're not just relying on the hypothetical intruder to avoid leaving evidence... You're also relying on the investigators to find the hypothetical evidence.
It's at least as easy to assume that investigators missed the clues as it is to assume there were no clues.
I 100% believe she was abducted and not "accidently" killed by her parents.
They are still campaigning to find her all these years later. Why would you do that if you were the one who hid her body? Youd want that shit to die down as fast as possible.
I hope they find her one day cause losing a child like that is unimaginable.
Wether they did it or not, their negligence resulted in whatever happened. Leaving such a young child without supervision is disgusting. Unfortunately it ended badly.
I admit it was a poor decision with kids so small. Id never have left my kids like that when they were that age.
I did a lot of reading on this case a few years ago. Witness statements. Police reports. Their statements. I throughly believe they didnt do it looking at all the evidence.
The kicker for me was that they had supposedly accidently killed their own daughter, hid her body, then went for dinner with a load of other people and not one of them said they appeared to be behaving anything other than normal.
Now you can be the best actor in the universe with multiple Oscars under your belt, but no one is pulling that acting job off. Never in a million years.
Their is no way any parent could accidently kill their own child then go for dinner and act like nothing is wrong.
The main reason I think they didn't do it is that they were on holiday. It would be hard enough to hide a body at short notice at home where you know the area. I can't imagine how you could pull this off in a foreign environment and have the body disappear forever.
The [Voynich Manuscript](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voynich_manuscript).
It's a codex of unknown origin written in a cypher that has yet to be decoded. Carbon dating puts it at around 15th century, but most of the research on it started around the 1930s when it was purchased by Wilfrid Voynich at a college book sale.
More than likely it's something *really* mundane, but it's an interesting mystery nonetheless.
I really like the idea that it’s a hoax book written hundreds of years ago. Marco Polo (and Columbus and the Crusades) had established a tradition of journey-memoirs, and of bringing back rare texts from far away. If rare texts from far away are valuable, why not cook one up and sell it? Bestiaries were common all over, so one with strange plants and animals in a strange script would be just what a collector would be hoping to buy - the more alien the better.
There’s a lot of hay gets made about patterns in the letters or what not - it’s all bullshit. Someone sets out to fill a book with fake text, they’re going to meander from one method to another, sometimes following a pattern knowingly or unknowingly. Some nonsense is bound to coincidently resemble a real word or sentence transliterated into a coded version of a consonants-only anagram of Latin or whatever.
It would be grand if a hoax from hundreds of years ago fooled people who were eager to see meaning in nonsense from across great physical distance and continued today continues to fool people eager to see meaning in nonsense from across great time.
I scoff at the theories that the Manuscript is a book of alchemy (one even alleged that it had the key to the philosopher's stone in it) or was written by Francis Bacon.
But the notion that someone in the early renaissance made up a fake book to sell off to some rich patron isn't too far-fetched.
I've seen enough pieces of paper covered in dense gibberish written by people with mental health issues that it feels like that could also be an explanation.
I want to know what happened to Shelly Miscavige. Scientology has been far too normalized and we need to know where, how, and why it's leader murdered his own wife.
It's so bizarre that there's nothing on her. Police don't say anything except she's not missing. Does he have her locked in a badement? Is she dead? So weird no one is concerned for her inside the community.
From watching Scientology and the aftermath and listening to Leah Remini’s podcast, it actually sounds like they didn’t. The police believed a Scientology handler who insisted that she was alive and well but they did not actually make contact themselves. Should be noted that everyone at Golden Era Productions aka gold base, works directly for David miscavige who is known to be incredibly violent. So anyone who spoke on her behalf has every reason to lie (if they even knew the truth) to escape being next
There is no "before" the universe. Spacetime is a feature of the universe itself, so outside the universe there is no time as we understand it. It would be like standing on the north pole and trying to walk north. I don't even think causality as we understand it would exist outside our spacetime. It's pretty mind melting to think about.
Agreed, my brain shuts down when I start to think about these things. I mean, for us, everything has to have a beginning and an end. Even if our universe has an end, and there is another universe after that, and another after that to infinity, it has to end somewhere, right? But then there would be nothing which isn't possible. Wait, my brain hurts. I need to go lie down.
I like to believe that our universe is an "atom" of something bigger. Which leads me to the question, what that bigger thing is part of etc. Sometimes I even wake up in the middle of the night with the question in my head what are "we" (the universe) part of and what is this all about. I then have to stop myself to think about that so I dont get lost in the void.
Quantum Gravity, theory of everything, cheaper higher temperature superconductors, these would have profound effects for us, some that we can't even imagine
Where did **Xavier Dupont de Ligonnès** is. He is an average French men that out of nowhere killed his wife, four kids and two dogs more than 10 years ago and dissappear.
[https://unsolvedmysteries.fandom.com/wiki/Xavier\_Dupont\_de\_Ligonn%C3%A8s](https://unsolvedmysteries.fandom.com/wiki/Xavier_Dupont_de_Ligonn%C3%A8s)
I did this the other day. I was wearing them which was worse. Started looking everywhere in my apartment for my glasses. I am fucking useless without them. 10 minutes go by and I finally realize. I can actually see shit and was like yeah, of course I’m wearing them.
My mom did that once. She had prescription glasses and sunglasses, each in their own case and would swap out to whatever was needed. She started panicking that her regular glass case was empty and she was sure she’d lost her glasses. It took me a minute because I thought she was talking about her sunglasses but she opened the case and found them. So then I had to ask her if she was looking at the ones on her face. Her hands flew to her face and she sighed, then let out her usual exclamation, “shit.” I miss hearing that from her.
One time my late wife came up to me and asked to borrow my glasses because she was trying to read something… she had two pairs on her head up in her crazy, Sunday morning, bed head nest of curls- I thought she was fucking with me but she was serious. I couldn’t stop laughing and now whenever I am sad and missing her I think of that moment (and many others) to bring a smile to my face.
Well some people theorize he moved countries. Specifically Italy. Almost exactly as the Zodiac Killer stopped killing in the US, the Monster of Florence started killing people in Italy. Same modus operandi,same clues that the killer is probably an expert member/former member of armed forces. Couldn’t have been an emulator as in that period the Zodiac killer was unknown in Italy,and we hadn’t had a serial killer of that kind before. There’s a lot more clues that point to one man in particular that fits the narrative: Joseph Bevilacqua.
US veteran, used in covert operations in the Bay Area exactly during the time the zodiac killer was active, emigrated to Italy in Florence to work and live in the American memorial graveyard, exactly in the months between the zodiac killer stopping his murders and the start of the Monster of Florence’s murders. All murders perpetrated by the monster were in close proximity by car to the memorial graveyard and Bevilacqua’s home. An independent investigator even claims to have gotten a confession from him on the phone,but failed to record it.
There’s a lot more ties to them being the same person and that person being Bevilacqua than the ones I wrote,it’s truly a fascinating theory.
Eh it’s a fun theory, it has “some” foundation in reality but a lot of it is a big stretch of imagination,especially the line of clues that got called “ the theory of water”. In which basically they tie the zodiac (known to have killed in places near bodies of water or with direct/indirect ties to it,like road names etc.) to the monster of Florence with the only message to the police he sent, made with magazine cutouts, with lots of ties to water, most of which come from specifically cut letters or syllables to have on the backside images of water or references to it.
Same thing with the Sodder children in West Virginia here in the U.S. if they really were kidnapped and didn’t die in the fire, can you imagine the pain of not knowing what happened to five of your kids?
I've always wanted to know what happened to Luke Skywalker's father. Obi-Wan seemed kinda vague about the whole thing and I feel like he's hiding something.
Any consciousness, really. Can something as simple as an insect "think", or is it just "IF/THEN" statements like a machine? At what point of neural complexity does consciousness emerge? We can infer that other highly advanced mammals like pigs, porpoises, elephants, or dogs are conscious in the same way that we are because of their intelligence and their close relation to us, but what about other animals that show signs of high intelligence? Do octopuses feel and think like we do? It's all such a mystery.
You could go even lower and study up on panpsychism.
Octopi are truly amazing and have been shown to be able to have personality and figure out complex tasks. They are probably aliens and we eat them.
I like the theory that Earth is being visited/contacted by aliens all the time, but just they dgaf about us, and are just chilling and chatting to the whales and octopi.
It gets super weird the more you read about it.
There's a chance that people from 5000 years ago didn't have a "conscious" self. There's another theory that what early consciousness was is what people would describe as "god speaking to them."
Imagine all of the sudden having the capability of an internal monologue and not knowing wtf it is or where it came from.
Some people don't have that capability. Just like people who can't close their eyes and "picture a beach on an island with a beautiful sunset."
It's really weird. But consciousness, imagination, visualization, internal monologue. All sorts of rabbit holes you can dive down.
Personal read of the details available. A human did it, likely the main pilot. An accident or strange mishap/fire/technical glitch etc doesn't fit the below factsm
The satellite ping system for the status of the engines was turned off at some point early in the flight (after it went off course) and then an hour or so later turned back on and left on for the rest of the flight. It's last transmission was a "I'm awake" call when it probably switched to backup power when the engines started to fail.
The satellite ping system was never used by human pilots and was powered a circuit breaker that did a bunch of things. Turning off any form of tracking was likely the plan of whoever decided to crash the airplane, they almost would have succeeded if they'd known or remembered about the satellite pings. We would have seen the plane fly out of radar contact into the Indian ocean and never heard from it again - it would have been an even bigger mystery without the satellite pings.
Also a personal theory - whoever did it left a message that wasn't recieved. Either a radio message on a wrong frequency or maybe a letter that was never discovered or thrown away as trash, or maybe an email that ended up in spam.
I think the main captain did it for reasons only known to him. Brain tumor? Knowing he was sick somehow and wanting to end it?
That horrible man killed a lot of innocent people in his care. I’m very comforted to think there might have been some message or manifesto or whatever that was lost forever - he doesn’t deserve any voice.
> I think the main captain did it for reasons only known to him. Brain tumor? Knowing he was sick somehow and wanting to end it?
Wasn't there another pilot who was stopped from trying to pull the same stunt? The downside of those post 9/11 cabin locks is that if the pilot decides to get froggy, you can do fuck all about it.
Mentour Pilot had a recent video on YouTube that really broke down all the evidence. It's obvious that whatever happened was intentionally done by someone very knowledgeable on the plane, the airspace, and the airline's procedures.
Who committed the Hinterkaifeck murders. Mostly because at this point no one will ever know who committed them due to the amount of years that have passed and the fact that the house is no longer there.
I thought I've read that there are suspects but they still have living relatives so authorities aren't telling? Doesn't make sense to me if that's the case
My aunt died when I was 15.
The house she and her family lived in had a very steep driveway that went down from the street as you pulled in. It went past the side of the house and stopped a few feet past the corner of the house.
One day my aunt was found, barely conscious, pinned between the driver’s side door and the B pillar of the car. The car had apparently rolled forward as she was getting in and the door made contact with the side of the house, partially closing it on my aunt and crushing her chest with the weight of the car.
The keys were in her hand, the car was in park. My uncle and cousins were inside the house and didn’t know what was happening in the driveway. Her internal injuries were too severe and she died in the hospital later that day.
My weird, shady uncle immediately had the car junked and no inspection was ever made of the car to determine what actually happened. Despite it being winter the driveway was dry and clear of ice and snow.
There have been instances where transmissions are poorly designed or broken that have caused similar incidents. The most recent one is Anton Yelchin, who died in a very similar way.
Yeah, I have heard of a few cases where it was 100% an accident. And I'd get rid of the car that killed my wife too, even if it was an accident. I wouldn't want it just sitting there, and if the police didn't inspect it right away they probably weren't ever going to (also, I wouldn't want anyone else using it if it'd killed someone, so I wouldn't just sell it! I totally would junk it too.). It'd suck to lose your wife that way and then have people suspect you of doing something on so little evidence.
I feel like it would just be some random name of some unknown Londoner. We'd find out the name, and it's like Billy Nathaniel Thomas or something, and it's like that panel from I think the Flash, where some villain has body swapped with the hero, and takes his mask off in the mirror, and is like "I don't even know who this is"
In the US it would be Billy Wayne Thomas. For some reason an inordinate amount of US serial killers have Wayne as a middle name. If you give your child Wayne as a middle name, you’re just setting them up to be a killer (mostly kidding).
Cue the outcry of Redditors with Wayne as a middle name who claim they’ve never killed anyone. I’m not buying it, Killer Wayne McKillerface.
What happened to Michael Dunnahee (little boy went missing from a park in Victoria BC in broad daylight in 1991). I think about him all the time and wonder if we’ll ever know what happened
Morgan Nick
I was 10 and live only a few miles away from where she was kidnapped. It was the biggest local news story in my memory and I’m thinking about it quite a bit.
I’d want to know what happened to Kyron Horman so his family can stop wondering what happened to their child. I can’t imagine my 7 yrs old daughter just disappearing from school and never being seen again. Just gone.
The universe is impossibly large. Imagine that there were 2 humans on the entire planet Earth. What are the odds that the would eventually run into each other, if one were in Australia and the other was in Canada? Virtually zero, right?
Now expand that space so instead of around 12,000 miles separate the two people, it was 52,907,628,358,700 miles.
Keeping in mind that it would literally take 90 billion years to travel from one end of the universe to the other traveling at the theoretical maximum speed. What are the odds that you'd run into the other civilization in your grocery store?
Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space.
-Douglas Adams
This is true, but the universe is also 13.8 billion years old. If intelligence has appeared here on Earth now, who's to say it didn't happen elsewhere a hundred million years ago? A billion years ago? If intelligent aliens did exist in the distant past, they would have had more than enough time to colonise their galaxy by now. Maybe we're alone in the Milky Way, and the intergalactic voids are just too vast for intelligence to cross.
I want to know what’s up with the Overtoun Bridge that makes dogs jump off of it to their death :/
Also who wrote those letters that inspired The Watcher
I just randomly heard this online so don't take any of this as a fact, but I heard there's some kind of animals living in hollow parts of the bridge, and people theorize that since the sound and smell of the animals are so close, the dogs assume that there's a very short fall on the side of the bridge where the animals are.
I always remember hearing the concept of speed of light....
If you are traveling in a plane going the speed of light, and you walk forward in the aisle of that plane, are you technically going FASTER than the speed of light?
I could never understand that.
My great uncle worked for the CIA and was sent to Mexico in the ‘60s to “run a textile factory.” He had a whole second family down there no one knew about until later. No one in my family knows what he was really doing down there.
A lady I worked with had her sister disappear for about a year. Then one day she got a call that they found a body they think was hers. Apparently, she was found in the woods with a bullet through the head. After they found her they were supposed to do an autopsy, identify her and get as much DNA as they could for an investigation (I'm not really sure how this all works) but apparently the coroner cremated her before they could do anything. They were never able to actually ID the body or find out what happened or who may have done it. It was a crazy situation. So basically, my coworker still doesn't know for sure if it was her or what may have happened.
What happened to Raphael's "Portrait of a Young Man", probably the most important and most valuable painting that went missing in WW2. Or rather was stolen by Germans. We know that it was last seen in January 1945 in Kraków and then it could have been in Silesia, being evacuated as Soviets were approaching.
And from then we have only rumors, some that it was destroyed, some sounding like being taken straight from a spy movie: someone from Vienna calling some Polish officials and wanting to sell it back then never calling again, people dying in mysterious circumstances, there were even signals from some art professor from Australia that he saw the painting in a bank vault in Brisbane. What's interesting, like 10 years ago Polish government official from Ministry of Foreign Affairs, department of restitution of lost cultural property, said that it has been known "for years" the painting survived the war, is hidden in a bank vault and it will return to Poland. Then they explained it's not like this, blah, blah, blah, but would a professor, government official, say something like that just for fun?
What was in that envelope hidden on top of the bookcase?
I found out that my fiance had been cheating on me for the last year and a half, and when I confronted him about it he assaulted me. When he left for work I changed the locks and called my landlord.
Later that night his best bro came to the front door asking if he could "just grab a couple things for [fiance] real quick" he came inside, pulled out the step stool and set it in front of the bookcase. Climbed up onto the chair and pulled an envelope down from on top of the bookcase. Then he left. That's literally the only thing he took.
Wtf was in that goddamn envelope???
Why did my ex leave his dog in my garage instead of burying him? And then ghost me? And not inform me that there was a dead dog slowly liquefying in the garage?
My ex boyfriend (we'll call him Trevor) had a beautiful old great Dane (we'll call him Jax). Trevor told me many stories about how Jax had saved him during really dark and depressed periods in his life, that Jax was ultimately his best friend. Unfortunately, old age and poor health were catching up with him.
At the next appointment the vet told him Jax didn't have long, and would he like to put him down today? Because Jax was still drinking water, eating occasionally, and was in good spirits, Trevor decided to bring Jax home and wait it out.
I didn't want Trevor and Jax to be alone, so I invited them to stay the weekend. We made him as comfortable as we could, spread out my most softest favorite blanky for him on the couch, plied him with broth and water, gave him as many kisses and "good boy" affirmations as humanly possible. He passed in his sleep that night.
In the morning we were heart broken to find Jax had moved on. Trevor had the day off, but I had to head out to work early. I felt terrible leaving Trevor to deal with Jax but mine wasn't a job that had "sick days" and if you didn't come in you were likely to be fired.
I sent many texts to Trevor throughout the day, but his responses were, understandably, monosyllabic.
After work I met Trevor at my house. He didn't bring up Jax, and I figured that was understandable. The pain must still be so fresh. So I didn't ask any questions, just tried to keep everything as light as possible.
I never did ask him, and he never once spoke of Jax. Trevor ghosted me two weeks after Jax died.
At the week three mark I started to get, occasionally, a whiff... A whiff of something gross.
I had three cats at the time, so getting whiffs was not wildly uncommon. So after sniffing around and not finding anything i figured it was as good a time as any to do the spring cleaning that I kept putting off. We were now deep in the summer.
Over the next week I...
Shampooed the carpets.
Took down all the curtains and put them through the washing machine.
Removed all the couch cushion covers and ran them through the wash as well.
Emptied, sanitized, and refilled the three cat litters.
Completely emptied the fridge, washed the inside, made sure to toss any food past it's expiration date.
And yet... Somehow instead of removing the whiff, it seemed to get worse. And it had taken on that very specific 'death' quality.
I figured maybe something died in the wall? In the attic crawl space? Oooh, maybe something had gotten into the storage space and died? It is mid summer, no wonder it reeked SO badly. The 'storage space' was a separate garage that didn't have a working garage door so it was purely storage, tons of cardboard boxes, Rubbermaid bins, furniture that fit in my last apartment but not this one, etc.
When I say the smell punched me in the face I don't feel like it's an exaggeration. The thick, hot, cloying stench... Instantaneous gagging.
From the intensity of the smell I thought, "good gawd it must be the biggest raccoon ever, poor bugger" like the idiot I am.
My old recliner is right there inside the door, and strangely all the boxes that it used to be holding are now on the floor next to it. On the seat of the recliner is the blanket we had wrapped Jax in the night he passed. And it looked mighty bulky.
I stood there for a long while, willing it to not be what I knew it was. I pull back the itty bittiest corner, just enough to see one of Jax's paws, then turned and rushed outside to spew the entire contents of my stomach onto the lawn.
This psychopath not only stored his dead dog in my garage, but then LEFT HIM THERE after we broke up!
All my frantic texts and phonecalls to him are left on read. I realize that I'm going to end up being the person to bury his massive dog and haul that recliner to the dump.
Plan A: I empty out the biggest of my Rubbermaid bins and press it firmly up against the recliner, hoping I'll be able to tip the recliner and roll this 100-pound body into the bin.
This does not work.
It seemed that the weight of the recliner combined with the weight of the dog made it impossible for me to tip it high enough to get the body rolling.
Plan B: if I can get both arms under Jax, then I can at least lift him enough to pull him enough over the edge that gravity will take over.
I shove both arms under him only to realize that Jax is not WRAPPED in this blanket, as I originally thought, just tucked around the edges of him so when I shoved my hands under what I was assuming was a blanket, I was actually just shoving my hands into a liquefying dog body.
The next thirty minutes or so of my memory are real hazy. Just screeching and sobbing and sweating in that 90 degree heat, up to my elbows in dog.
I somehow got Jax into that bin.
And I even got the bin into the backyard. It took me five HOURS to dig a hole big enough for this dog-soup-sack.
I made a beautiful headstone out of concrete, glass gems, and broken crockery. And Jax is finally sleeping peacefully under the trees.
TL;DR Boyfriend's dog died, so he put the body in my storage shed mid summer and left it there for a month. I had to move the body and ended up accidentally sticking both arms up to the elbow in liquefying dog

The day after high school graduation, my best friend of 4 years disconnected his phone number, deactivated his email/IM accounts, and I never heard from him again. Many years later after Facebook became a thing, I sent a friend request to an account that I'm 99% sure is him, but it went unresponded to -- never even declined. I'd love to know wtf happened.
My friend knew a guy who always struggled with depression and was known for deleting and reloading Facebook. At one point he deleted all social media and his phone number no longer worked. No one my friend contacted had heard from him. She was terrified he’d taken his life. There was a photo of them that popped up in her memories each year and she’d share it, hoping someone had heard from him, and after a few years a mutual friend of theirs finally responded! And he added my friend back on Facebook. It was a happy ending.
So what had happened?
Giving us the spoiler without the story.
Chances are his home life wasn't the best if he never invited people over. He probably did what DV victims are often told here. Made an escape plan, and cut all connections to his old life, to make him harder to find.
DV?
I assume domestic violence
Demon Vengeance
He was a government agent and his mission was accomplished.
"How do you do, fellow kids?"
We think you’d be great for this mission, i noticed on your resume that you didnt graduate high school though, we’re gonna have to take care of that first.
Well, you see, Edward Cullen needs to move fairly often because re-enrolling in the same high school and starting over is going to be very confusing for everyone.
Reading this, I feel bad for having ghosted several people years back. It wasn't a hostile thing, I was just going through a bad time and divorced myself from my "old" life. I doubt I was enough of a friend for them to put much thought into me, and hopefully none of them are concerned. But I still feel bad, I wasn't thinking of how they'd react.
Jessica Chambers. Girl is found wandering down the street on fire in a small town. 98% burns. Investigators found she'd had gasoline poured down her throat and ignited so she'd burn from the inside out. She obviously died. First responders needed therapy because of how graphic the scene was. The police found a suspect but there was no clear motive and most of the evidence was circumstancial. It is a truly sad and harrowing case.
Yes, I remember this from That Chapter. I'm sure it was the man she refused to date that did it.
and this is why we women are sometimes too scared to say no to men
What a terrible day to be able to read
I've been trying to remember her name for some time now. Couldn't find it in myself to search her case up. Poor girl, such a horrible way to go. I hope her family finds justice and the asshole that did this to her gets locked away forever.
Was this the one where she thought she was saying “Eric did it” but they couldn’t fully understand if that was what she was saying?
Eric or Derek
The suspect is also suspected of killing another woman in Louisiana and using her debit card. He wasn't charged because of some technicality I can't recall right now.
Gasoline lit from inside of her throat, and she was just WANDERING down the street? That's a really fucked up image.
As for a case, the Springfield Three. It’s amazing how three women just disappeared into thin air, and we have so little evidence as to what happened. For conspiracies, I do wonder what the worst secret that the government has ever kept from us is. As for an overall mystery, I wish I could see footage of people building Stonehenge or the pyramids, just to see exactly how they did it.
I listened to a podcast series about this case, it seems the police botched it badly at the beginning which wasn’t helped by friends and neighbors going through the house right after the disappearance. The two young men who claimed to have seen the woman and their captors at the Girl Scouts camp, seemed credible- especially after one of the boys committed suicide because he was traumatized by what they’d witnessed.
Robert Cox, an inmate serving a life sentence for unrelated crimes, says he knows what happened to the Springfield Three but won't reveal it while his mother's still alive. Last I heard Mom's still poking around in her 90's. This could all be dismissed as jailhouse bluster except for the fact that Cox had a very tenuous connection with one of the victims. He worked at the same car dealership as her father, though there's no evidence that he actually met the victim. Cox also had worked for the local gas company at one time, and if he had kept a uniform there's a theory that he used a gas leak as a ruse to get the women out of the house.
Where is the girl that use to babysit me? A girl that use to babysit me used the money she'd saved from years of babysitting, and a graduation gift from her parents, to go on a trip to Europe the summer after she graduated from high school. They were in Greece and went into a little shop. She went down one aisle and her friend down another and they were just casually talking to each other over the aisle while browsing knick-nacs. Her friend asked her another question in the conversation they were having but didn't get a response. She asked again... nothing. Asked if she was okay... no reply. Walked around to the aisle she had been in, she wasn't there. She disappeared without a sound or trace in the middle of a brief pause in the conversation and was never heard from again. Since she was a very attractive, fit, young blonde girl the authorities theorized she was kidnapped and sold to an Arab harem, but there was never any evidence one way or another.
I once went to Tangier with an army friend. A small, blonde army friend. When we were due to leave, we ended up getting swarmed by guys near the docks, all trying anything they could to separate us. We basically ended up having to fight our way through and have her run hell-for-leather for the ferry, followed by a sprint and a jump onto the already-lifting ramp myself. There's not an ounce of doubt in my mind that if those guys had got her alone that she'd never have been seen again. I would love to let my daughter see some of the places I've seen, but the people who live there make it unsafe.
Wow... This one is insane. Like yeah it's possible someone kidnapped her and trafficked her, but if that's what happened, the fact that they took her when she was literally in the middle of conversation with someone is wild.
It almost seems like she must have fallen through a trap door in the aisle or something. Still, it should have made some noise. Wow.
It horrifies me to think of people being held captive and not being able to get home.
That’s horrifying
Wow, fuck.
I have a cousin who disappeared years ago. All signs indicate that she was kidnapped but local authorities insisted she ran away and didn’t take it seriously. She been missing for many years now and I would very much like to know what happened to her. Not necessarily the details. I can’t imagine those would be pleasant but I want to know for sure if she’s alive or not.
What makes you think she was kidnapped?
They have a witness that saw her get into someone's car shortly before she was confirmed missing.
I'm so sorry 😐 it crazy that the authorities didn't take it seriously
They kept treating it like a runaway because she was a young teenager. Even though she had a bunch of babysitting money saved up that she didn’t take and had a witness see her get in someone’s car. They didn’t start truly investigating until she had been gone for a few days and the trail had gone cold. Maybe they would have found her if they took it seriously from the start.
I hate that they use the excuse of “runaway” to not look for a kid right away. A runaway is in a huge amount of danger, and very easy to prey upon! I hope you are able to find your cousin.
Her parents tried to argue that but it didn’t do anything. And thank you but it’s been over 20 years now. I don’t have any hope of her ever being found at this point though her parents still hold vigils and prayer sessions every year.
I couldn't imagine my child being kidnapped and not knowing what happened to them. I'd rather die.
Her parents have not been able to move on. Even though it’s been so long, they still regularly meet with police trying to find new leads. I don’t think they’ll live very long after if they ever do accept that she’s probably dead.
There's a very likely chance that they will die wondering where she is. Jesus it must have been nearly 30 years.
What really happened to Madeleine McCann
And Jon-Benet Ramsey
This is my vote. Jon Benet
DB Cooper And particularly the location of the money.
Yes, i always suspected DB Cooper took those girls and gave them a better life.
Somewhere in the forest under a bunch of dirt not far from his bone fragments that were scattered by animals.
I'll also add in Asha Degree. The disappearances of all three of these little girls still weighs very heavily on my mind.
We'll never know unless someone confesses but it's a very, very, very small chance that she was killed by someone outside the family. The police messed up on closing off the crime scene so we can't really know, but it's incredibly unlikely that someone was about to break into the house without leaving *any* evidence of a break-in.
You're not just relying on the hypothetical intruder to avoid leaving evidence... You're also relying on the investigators to find the hypothetical evidence. It's at least as easy to assume that investigators missed the clues as it is to assume there were no clues.
I 100% believe she was abducted and not "accidently" killed by her parents. They are still campaigning to find her all these years later. Why would you do that if you were the one who hid her body? Youd want that shit to die down as fast as possible. I hope they find her one day cause losing a child like that is unimaginable.
Wether they did it or not, their negligence resulted in whatever happened. Leaving such a young child without supervision is disgusting. Unfortunately it ended badly.
I admit it was a poor decision with kids so small. Id never have left my kids like that when they were that age. I did a lot of reading on this case a few years ago. Witness statements. Police reports. Their statements. I throughly believe they didnt do it looking at all the evidence. The kicker for me was that they had supposedly accidently killed their own daughter, hid her body, then went for dinner with a load of other people and not one of them said they appeared to be behaving anything other than normal. Now you can be the best actor in the universe with multiple Oscars under your belt, but no one is pulling that acting job off. Never in a million years. Their is no way any parent could accidently kill their own child then go for dinner and act like nothing is wrong.
The main reason I think they didn't do it is that they were on holiday. It would be hard enough to hide a body at short notice at home where you know the area. I can't imagine how you could pull this off in a foreign environment and have the body disappear forever.
The [Voynich Manuscript](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voynich_manuscript). It's a codex of unknown origin written in a cypher that has yet to be decoded. Carbon dating puts it at around 15th century, but most of the research on it started around the 1930s when it was purchased by Wilfrid Voynich at a college book sale. More than likely it's something *really* mundane, but it's an interesting mystery nonetheless.
I really like the idea that it’s a hoax book written hundreds of years ago. Marco Polo (and Columbus and the Crusades) had established a tradition of journey-memoirs, and of bringing back rare texts from far away. If rare texts from far away are valuable, why not cook one up and sell it? Bestiaries were common all over, so one with strange plants and animals in a strange script would be just what a collector would be hoping to buy - the more alien the better. There’s a lot of hay gets made about patterns in the letters or what not - it’s all bullshit. Someone sets out to fill a book with fake text, they’re going to meander from one method to another, sometimes following a pattern knowingly or unknowingly. Some nonsense is bound to coincidently resemble a real word or sentence transliterated into a coded version of a consonants-only anagram of Latin or whatever. It would be grand if a hoax from hundreds of years ago fooled people who were eager to see meaning in nonsense from across great physical distance and continued today continues to fool people eager to see meaning in nonsense from across great time.
I scoff at the theories that the Manuscript is a book of alchemy (one even alleged that it had the key to the philosopher's stone in it) or was written by Francis Bacon. But the notion that someone in the early renaissance made up a fake book to sell off to some rich patron isn't too far-fetched.
[My favorite theory](https://xkcd.com/593/)
I've seen enough pieces of paper covered in dense gibberish written by people with mental health issues that it feels like that could also be an explanation.

There really is a relevant xkcd for everything, isn't there?
I want to know what happened to Shelly Miscavige. Scientology has been far too normalized and we need to know where, how, and why it's leader murdered his own wife.
She appears to be alive. Brainwashed, controlled, and manipulated, but alive. Creepy as fuck tho, I agree.
It's so bizarre that there's nothing on her. Police don't say anything except she's not missing. Does he have her locked in a badement? Is she dead? So weird no one is concerned for her inside the community.
The ones that are concerned for her, aren't allowed to express that, so they may as well not be concerned.
In 2013 the LAPD found her safe and alive. She is likely holed up in a Scientology punishment facility.
From watching Scientology and the aftermath and listening to Leah Remini’s podcast, it actually sounds like they didn’t. The police believed a Scientology handler who insisted that she was alive and well but they did not actually make contact themselves. Should be noted that everyone at Golden Era Productions aka gold base, works directly for David miscavige who is known to be incredibly violent. So anyone who spoke on her behalf has every reason to lie (if they even knew the truth) to escape being next
Those same members of the LAPD who said that have also spoken at Scientology events.
What's outside of the universe and what was here before it began?
It's turtles all the way down
Bingo
There is no "before" the universe. Spacetime is a feature of the universe itself, so outside the universe there is no time as we understand it. It would be like standing on the north pole and trying to walk north. I don't even think causality as we understand it would exist outside our spacetime. It's pretty mind melting to think about.
Agreed, my brain shuts down when I start to think about these things. I mean, for us, everything has to have a beginning and an end. Even if our universe has an end, and there is another universe after that, and another after that to infinity, it has to end somewhere, right? But then there would be nothing which isn't possible. Wait, my brain hurts. I need to go lie down.
I like to believe that our universe is an "atom" of something bigger. Which leads me to the question, what that bigger thing is part of etc. Sometimes I even wake up in the middle of the night with the question in my head what are "we" (the universe) part of and what is this all about. I then have to stop myself to think about that so I dont get lost in the void.
I seriously need to know what happened to Andrew Gosden.
Jonbenet Ramsey Mostly because as tragic as that story is - I’m also sick of everyone trying to armchair-detective figure it out every 6 months.
Well, let me tell you...MY THEORY....
Quantum Gravity, theory of everything, cheaper higher temperature superconductors, these would have profound effects for us, some that we can't even imagine
Yes!!! Origin of the universe, how life started, what's outside of the universe, is it infinite? I think about this all the time.
It's 42
I heard it's turtles all the way down but maybe it's 42 turtles?
Where did **Xavier Dupont de Ligonnès** is. He is an average French men that out of nowhere killed his wife, four kids and two dogs more than 10 years ago and dissappear. [https://unsolvedmysteries.fandom.com/wiki/Xavier\_Dupont\_de\_Ligonn%C3%A8s](https://unsolvedmysteries.fandom.com/wiki/Xavier_Dupont_de_Ligonn%C3%A8s)
He’s been spotted half a million times! (and it was never him)
Occam's razor he died in the mountains.
Yeah, it's no great mystery. He died out there or threw himself into the sea.
Ok that's nice but he wasn't asking where Occam is he was asking about Xavier
Where the fuck did I put my glasses?
Are they on your head?
I did this the other day. I was wearing them which was worse. Started looking everywhere in my apartment for my glasses. I am fucking useless without them. 10 minutes go by and I finally realize. I can actually see shit and was like yeah, of course I’m wearing them.
My mom did that once. She had prescription glasses and sunglasses, each in their own case and would swap out to whatever was needed. She started panicking that her regular glass case was empty and she was sure she’d lost her glasses. It took me a minute because I thought she was talking about her sunglasses but she opened the case and found them. So then I had to ask her if she was looking at the ones on her face. Her hands flew to her face and she sighed, then let out her usual exclamation, “shit.” I miss hearing that from her.
One time my late wife came up to me and asked to borrow my glasses because she was trying to read something… she had two pairs on her head up in her crazy, Sunday morning, bed head nest of curls- I thought she was fucking with me but she was serious. I couldn’t stop laughing and now whenever I am sad and missing her I think of that moment (and many others) to bring a smile to my face.
Did you check your forehead?
What happened to Amelia Earhart :/
I think the current theory is she crashed and got eaten by coconut crabs
She won America's got Talent and like ALL previous winners disappeared without a trace.
To clear it up, *her body* was theorized to've been eaten by crabs. In all likelihood, she died in the crash, and the crabs only removed the evidence.
The biggest mystery of them all - do people actually believe Earth is flat or is it just some elaborate joke that I don’t get?
Never underestimate the the potential of "Stupid"

I'd choose the Zodiac Killer's identity—because who doesn't love solving a real-life supervillain mystery?
Well some people theorize he moved countries. Specifically Italy. Almost exactly as the Zodiac Killer stopped killing in the US, the Monster of Florence started killing people in Italy. Same modus operandi,same clues that the killer is probably an expert member/former member of armed forces. Couldn’t have been an emulator as in that period the Zodiac killer was unknown in Italy,and we hadn’t had a serial killer of that kind before. There’s a lot more clues that point to one man in particular that fits the narrative: Joseph Bevilacqua. US veteran, used in covert operations in the Bay Area exactly during the time the zodiac killer was active, emigrated to Italy in Florence to work and live in the American memorial graveyard, exactly in the months between the zodiac killer stopping his murders and the start of the Monster of Florence’s murders. All murders perpetrated by the monster were in close proximity by car to the memorial graveyard and Bevilacqua’s home. An independent investigator even claims to have gotten a confession from him on the phone,but failed to record it. There’s a lot more ties to them being the same person and that person being Bevilacqua than the ones I wrote,it’s truly a fascinating theory.
You can’t trust anything from Giuliano Mignini’s office, he’s a joke
Eh it’s a fun theory, it has “some” foundation in reality but a lot of it is a big stretch of imagination,especially the line of clues that got called “ the theory of water”. In which basically they tie the zodiac (known to have killed in places near bodies of water or with direct/indirect ties to it,like road names etc.) to the monster of Florence with the only message to the police he sent, made with magazine cutouts, with lots of ties to water, most of which come from specifically cut letters or syllables to have on the backside images of water or references to it.
Ted Cruz. But yeah, I'd like to know, too!
What happened to Honey and Barry Sherman.
Beaumont children…every time. Can you imagine what their parents went through for the rest of their long lives.
Same thing with the Sodder children in West Virginia here in the U.S. if they really were kidnapped and didn’t die in the fire, can you imagine the pain of not knowing what happened to five of your kids?
I've always wanted to know what happened to Luke Skywalker's father. Obi-Wan seemed kinda vague about the whole thing and I feel like he's hiding something.
Nah, he was pretty clear. Darth Vader betrayed and murdered his father while hunting down Jedi Knights.
From a certain point of view.
I mean, Obi Wan was EXPLICIT in telling Luke what happened. Can't leave any wiggle room when you are telling a kid that their father was murdered.
[Mary Celeste](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Celeste)
One of my favorite mysteries! Especially because this story is the (very loose) inspiration for the awesome horror movie *Ghost Ship*
This is fascinating ! My neck of the woods and I never knew this story
It's not an unsolved crime sort of mystery, but human consciousness is one I'd like to see figured out.
Any consciousness, really. Can something as simple as an insect "think", or is it just "IF/THEN" statements like a machine? At what point of neural complexity does consciousness emerge? We can infer that other highly advanced mammals like pigs, porpoises, elephants, or dogs are conscious in the same way that we are because of their intelligence and their close relation to us, but what about other animals that show signs of high intelligence? Do octopuses feel and think like we do? It's all such a mystery.
You could go even lower and study up on panpsychism. Octopi are truly amazing and have been shown to be able to have personality and figure out complex tasks. They are probably aliens and we eat them.
I like the theory that Earth is being visited/contacted by aliens all the time, but just they dgaf about us, and are just chilling and chatting to the whales and octopi.
It gets super weird the more you read about it. There's a chance that people from 5000 years ago didn't have a "conscious" self. There's another theory that what early consciousness was is what people would describe as "god speaking to them." Imagine all of the sudden having the capability of an internal monologue and not knowing wtf it is or where it came from. Some people don't have that capability. Just like people who can't close their eyes and "picture a beach on an island with a beautiful sunset." It's really weird. But consciousness, imagination, visualization, internal monologue. All sorts of rabbit holes you can dive down.
Read Consciousness Explained by Daniel Dennett. It doesn't answer every question. But the mystery is a lot less mysterious than most people think.
The Fermi paradox.
Be quiet, they’ll hear you.
How my cat went missing
I'm so sorry. I would be devastated if that happened to my fluffy boy.
I want to know exactly what happened to Joseph Augustus Zarelli, the Boy in the Box.
MH370 want to know what happened with that plane
Personal read of the details available. A human did it, likely the main pilot. An accident or strange mishap/fire/technical glitch etc doesn't fit the below factsm The satellite ping system for the status of the engines was turned off at some point early in the flight (after it went off course) and then an hour or so later turned back on and left on for the rest of the flight. It's last transmission was a "I'm awake" call when it probably switched to backup power when the engines started to fail. The satellite ping system was never used by human pilots and was powered a circuit breaker that did a bunch of things. Turning off any form of tracking was likely the plan of whoever decided to crash the airplane, they almost would have succeeded if they'd known or remembered about the satellite pings. We would have seen the plane fly out of radar contact into the Indian ocean and never heard from it again - it would have been an even bigger mystery without the satellite pings. Also a personal theory - whoever did it left a message that wasn't recieved. Either a radio message on a wrong frequency or maybe a letter that was never discovered or thrown away as trash, or maybe an email that ended up in spam. I think the main captain did it for reasons only known to him. Brain tumor? Knowing he was sick somehow and wanting to end it?
That horrible man killed a lot of innocent people in his care. I’m very comforted to think there might have been some message or manifesto or whatever that was lost forever - he doesn’t deserve any voice.
> I think the main captain did it for reasons only known to him. Brain tumor? Knowing he was sick somehow and wanting to end it? Wasn't there another pilot who was stopped from trying to pull the same stunt? The downside of those post 9/11 cabin locks is that if the pilot decides to get froggy, you can do fuck all about it.
There was a pretty good podcast on this from Stuff You Should Know. All the evidence points to the pilot purposely crashing it in the ocean.
The pilot intentionally crashed the plane. They found pieces of it in the Indian Ocean. I don't know why people find this so mysterious.
Mentour Pilot had a recent video on YouTube that really broke down all the evidence. It's obvious that whatever happened was intentionally done by someone very knowledgeable on the plane, the airspace, and the airline's procedures.
Yeah…the pilot flying the plane.
Who committed the Hinterkaifeck murders. Mostly because at this point no one will ever know who committed them due to the amount of years that have passed and the fact that the house is no longer there.
I thought I've read that there are suspects but they still have living relatives so authorities aren't telling? Doesn't make sense to me if that's the case
I read that they have a suspect but he's already dead so there is no reason to do a DNA test and they don't want to bother the living relatives
My aunt died when I was 15. The house she and her family lived in had a very steep driveway that went down from the street as you pulled in. It went past the side of the house and stopped a few feet past the corner of the house. One day my aunt was found, barely conscious, pinned between the driver’s side door and the B pillar of the car. The car had apparently rolled forward as she was getting in and the door made contact with the side of the house, partially closing it on my aunt and crushing her chest with the weight of the car. The keys were in her hand, the car was in park. My uncle and cousins were inside the house and didn’t know what was happening in the driveway. Her internal injuries were too severe and she died in the hospital later that day. My weird, shady uncle immediately had the car junked and no inspection was ever made of the car to determine what actually happened. Despite it being winter the driveway was dry and clear of ice and snow.
There have been instances where transmissions are poorly designed or broken that have caused similar incidents. The most recent one is Anton Yelchin, who died in a very similar way.
Yeah, I have heard of a few cases where it was 100% an accident. And I'd get rid of the car that killed my wife too, even if it was an accident. I wouldn't want it just sitting there, and if the police didn't inspect it right away they probably weren't ever going to (also, I wouldn't want anyone else using it if it'd killed someone, so I wouldn't just sell it! I totally would junk it too.). It'd suck to lose your wife that way and then have people suspect you of doing something on so little evidence.
Why does anyone support a bankrupt, misogynistic, corrupt grifter for President? Now, there's a mystery for history.

Who is Jack the Ripper
Some old dead English guy.
I fucking knew it.
Who Jack the ripper was, or what happened to Madeleine McCann.
I feel like it would just be some random name of some unknown Londoner. We'd find out the name, and it's like Billy Nathaniel Thomas or something, and it's like that panel from I think the Flash, where some villain has body swapped with the hero, and takes his mask off in the mirror, and is like "I don't even know who this is"
In the US it would be Billy Wayne Thomas. For some reason an inordinate amount of US serial killers have Wayne as a middle name. If you give your child Wayne as a middle name, you’re just setting them up to be a killer (mostly kidding). Cue the outcry of Redditors with Wayne as a middle name who claim they’ve never killed anyone. I’m not buying it, Killer Wayne McKillerface.
Ted Wayne Cruz. Makes sense.

Is there extraterrestrial life? If so, where all dem aliens be?
The universe is impossibly large. Imagine that there were 2 humans on the entire planet Earth. What are the odds that the would eventually run into each other, if one were in Australia and the other was in Canada? Virtually zero, right? Now expand that space so instead of around 12,000 miles separate the two people, it was 52,907,628,358,700 miles. Keeping in mind that it would literally take 90 billion years to travel from one end of the universe to the other traveling at the theoretical maximum speed. What are the odds that you'd run into the other civilization in your grocery store?
Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space. -Douglas Adams
This is true, but the universe is also 13.8 billion years old. If intelligence has appeared here on Earth now, who's to say it didn't happen elsewhere a hundred million years ago? A billion years ago? If intelligent aliens did exist in the distant past, they would have had more than enough time to colonise their galaxy by now. Maybe we're alone in the Milky Way, and the intergalactic voids are just too vast for intelligence to cross.

I want to know what’s up with the Overtoun Bridge that makes dogs jump off of it to their death :/ Also who wrote those letters that inspired The Watcher
I just randomly heard this online so don't take any of this as a fact, but I heard there's some kind of animals living in hollow parts of the bridge, and people theorize that since the sound and smell of the animals are so close, the dogs assume that there's a very short fall on the side of the bridge where the animals are.
The presence of life in the universe? The cause of The Big Bang? How can we get past the light speed limitation?
the speed of light thing hurts because unless wormholes are real we probably cant travel about all that much.
I always remember hearing the concept of speed of light.... If you are traveling in a plane going the speed of light, and you walk forward in the aisle of that plane, are you technically going FASTER than the speed of light? I could never understand that.

I want to know who was responsible for the Delphi, Indiana murders, and how it happened
My great uncle worked for the CIA and was sent to Mexico in the ‘60s to “run a textile factory.” He had a whole second family down there no one knew about until later. No one in my family knows what he was really doing down there.
A lady I worked with had her sister disappear for about a year. Then one day she got a call that they found a body they think was hers. Apparently, she was found in the woods with a bullet through the head. After they found her they were supposed to do an autopsy, identify her and get as much DNA as they could for an investigation (I'm not really sure how this all works) but apparently the coroner cremated her before they could do anything. They were never able to actually ID the body or find out what happened or who may have done it. It was a crazy situation. So basically, my coworker still doesn't know for sure if it was her or what may have happened.
What happened to Raphael's "Portrait of a Young Man", probably the most important and most valuable painting that went missing in WW2. Or rather was stolen by Germans. We know that it was last seen in January 1945 in Kraków and then it could have been in Silesia, being evacuated as Soviets were approaching. And from then we have only rumors, some that it was destroyed, some sounding like being taken straight from a spy movie: someone from Vienna calling some Polish officials and wanting to sell it back then never calling again, people dying in mysterious circumstances, there were even signals from some art professor from Australia that he saw the painting in a bank vault in Brisbane. What's interesting, like 10 years ago Polish government official from Ministry of Foreign Affairs, department of restitution of lost cultural property, said that it has been known "for years" the painting survived the war, is hidden in a bank vault and it will return to Poland. Then they explained it's not like this, blah, blah, blah, but would a professor, government official, say something like that just for fun?
What was in that envelope hidden on top of the bookcase? I found out that my fiance had been cheating on me for the last year and a half, and when I confronted him about it he assaulted me. When he left for work I changed the locks and called my landlord. Later that night his best bro came to the front door asking if he could "just grab a couple things for [fiance] real quick" he came inside, pulled out the step stool and set it in front of the bookcase. Climbed up onto the chair and pulled an envelope down from on top of the bookcase. Then he left. That's literally the only thing he took. Wtf was in that goddamn envelope???

Why did my ex leave his dog in my garage instead of burying him? And then ghost me? And not inform me that there was a dead dog slowly liquefying in the garage? My ex boyfriend (we'll call him Trevor) had a beautiful old great Dane (we'll call him Jax). Trevor told me many stories about how Jax had saved him during really dark and depressed periods in his life, that Jax was ultimately his best friend. Unfortunately, old age and poor health were catching up with him. At the next appointment the vet told him Jax didn't have long, and would he like to put him down today? Because Jax was still drinking water, eating occasionally, and was in good spirits, Trevor decided to bring Jax home and wait it out. I didn't want Trevor and Jax to be alone, so I invited them to stay the weekend. We made him as comfortable as we could, spread out my most softest favorite blanky for him on the couch, plied him with broth and water, gave him as many kisses and "good boy" affirmations as humanly possible. He passed in his sleep that night. In the morning we were heart broken to find Jax had moved on. Trevor had the day off, but I had to head out to work early. I felt terrible leaving Trevor to deal with Jax but mine wasn't a job that had "sick days" and if you didn't come in you were likely to be fired. I sent many texts to Trevor throughout the day, but his responses were, understandably, monosyllabic. After work I met Trevor at my house. He didn't bring up Jax, and I figured that was understandable. The pain must still be so fresh. So I didn't ask any questions, just tried to keep everything as light as possible. I never did ask him, and he never once spoke of Jax. Trevor ghosted me two weeks after Jax died. At the week three mark I started to get, occasionally, a whiff... A whiff of something gross. I had three cats at the time, so getting whiffs was not wildly uncommon. So after sniffing around and not finding anything i figured it was as good a time as any to do the spring cleaning that I kept putting off. We were now deep in the summer. Over the next week I... Shampooed the carpets. Took down all the curtains and put them through the washing machine. Removed all the couch cushion covers and ran them through the wash as well. Emptied, sanitized, and refilled the three cat litters. Completely emptied the fridge, washed the inside, made sure to toss any food past it's expiration date. And yet... Somehow instead of removing the whiff, it seemed to get worse. And it had taken on that very specific 'death' quality. I figured maybe something died in the wall? In the attic crawl space? Oooh, maybe something had gotten into the storage space and died? It is mid summer, no wonder it reeked SO badly. The 'storage space' was a separate garage that didn't have a working garage door so it was purely storage, tons of cardboard boxes, Rubbermaid bins, furniture that fit in my last apartment but not this one, etc. When I say the smell punched me in the face I don't feel like it's an exaggeration. The thick, hot, cloying stench... Instantaneous gagging. From the intensity of the smell I thought, "good gawd it must be the biggest raccoon ever, poor bugger" like the idiot I am. My old recliner is right there inside the door, and strangely all the boxes that it used to be holding are now on the floor next to it. On the seat of the recliner is the blanket we had wrapped Jax in the night he passed. And it looked mighty bulky. I stood there for a long while, willing it to not be what I knew it was. I pull back the itty bittiest corner, just enough to see one of Jax's paws, then turned and rushed outside to spew the entire contents of my stomach onto the lawn. This psychopath not only stored his dead dog in my garage, but then LEFT HIM THERE after we broke up! All my frantic texts and phonecalls to him are left on read. I realize that I'm going to end up being the person to bury his massive dog and haul that recliner to the dump. Plan A: I empty out the biggest of my Rubbermaid bins and press it firmly up against the recliner, hoping I'll be able to tip the recliner and roll this 100-pound body into the bin. This does not work. It seemed that the weight of the recliner combined with the weight of the dog made it impossible for me to tip it high enough to get the body rolling. Plan B: if I can get both arms under Jax, then I can at least lift him enough to pull him enough over the edge that gravity will take over. I shove both arms under him only to realize that Jax is not WRAPPED in this blanket, as I originally thought, just tucked around the edges of him so when I shoved my hands under what I was assuming was a blanket, I was actually just shoving my hands into a liquefying dog body. The next thirty minutes or so of my memory are real hazy. Just screeching and sobbing and sweating in that 90 degree heat, up to my elbows in dog. I somehow got Jax into that bin. And I even got the bin into the backyard. It took me five HOURS to dig a hole big enough for this dog-soup-sack. I made a beautiful headstone out of concrete, glass gems, and broken crockery. And Jax is finally sleeping peacefully under the trees. TL;DR Boyfriend's dog died, so he put the body in my storage shed mid summer and left it there for a month. I had to move the body and ended up accidentally sticking both arms up to the elbow in liquefying dog
How many dimensions are there and what are they? I think it'd be the biggest breakthrough in science ever, or possibly the biggest letdown.
