Mysteries that defy explanation. (Crazy stuff)

So I was browsing cracked and clicked a link and another etc and ended up on this list. Which while some things I knew about others blew my mind.

http://listverse.com/2008/07/23/10-more-unsolved-mysteries-of-the-world/#3

Number 10 I found the most intersting and baffling. Man made? 2.8 billions years old wtf?

http://listverse.com/2007/07/20/top-10-unsolved-mysteries/ Another list equally as awesome.

3 I found interesting I had never heard of it.

While some of these things you've proably heard of I've sure theres something new there for you. Thoughts?

Edit: Im putting this in the OP because imo its the freakiest thing in this thread. Even though its right below my post. Thanks chris for posting.

I want to believe!

Nuff said:P

I love this sort of stuff. Makes you think.rcignoni

Agreed. I picked an old book at an old book sale (my local library was cleaning shop) that had all these mysteries in it, some where really fascinating. Wish I could find it, it had some really good ones.

Heres an example of something thats less of a mystery - scientists suspect something impacted the earth - but is still really interesting.

The Great Siberian Explosion.

This one comes to mind. ("Ghost car" during police chase)

How was the dissappearance of the entire Roanoke colony not on those lists?

Well, I can give anyone wondering about the Bermuda Triangle an answer. There's no mystery to be solved; basically it's an urban legend.

There's a book called The Bermuda Triangle Mystery - Solved, that goes through a lot of the acounts and explanations and then details what's wrong with it. I can recount his bullet point summary if anyone wants, but here's his end-of-book conclusion:
(Here's also a link to the Sketpic's Dictionary for some points as well.)

The Legend of the Bermuda Triangle is a manufactured mystery. It began because of careless research and was elaborated upon and perpetuated by writers who either purposely or unknowingly made use of misconceptions, faulty reasoning, and sensationalism. It was repeated so many times that it began to take on the aura of truth...David_Kusche

I imagine something similar holds true for most of these accounts, that there's a reasonable explanation that's just not widely known. Even the ones that aren't yet accounted for, maybe not even for a long time, probably have just such a reasonable answer waiting to be discovered.

[spoiler] Yeah...not a big fan of conspiracy theories, urban myths, and "unsolved mysteries" personally :P [/spoiler]

I hate stuff like this. Scares the **** out of me.

That's really interesting. Totally dig that stuff, thanks for posting! I'll have to say Atlantis and the Bermuda Triangle, as I have a topic on that up now.

I love threads like these! Thanks for creating it TC!

This map is particularly crazy to me. Anyone got an explanation?

All very fascinating mysteries. Love these kinds of mysteries, trying to solve them can be good for the mind. There was a mystery I read when I was young, it's always stuck in my mind, about a man who disappeared in front of a few people, if I recall it was around the 1930s or so. It's been a while since I last read the book it was in, but according to witnesses the man was seen walking away from the village he lived in, he was within eye shot of about five people or more, and he just vanished.

There's also the Lindburgh baby mystery which has never been solved, and many others which haven't been mentioned.

"The Bloop," an organic sound"several times louder than the loudest known animal, the Blue Whale."

This site is interesting - http://unsolved-mysteries.com/- Some very interesting mysteries there.

I didn't expect to click that and see porn on rocks or a seemingly very intimate circle-jerk...XilePrincess

There's this one little town that was made like 10,000 years ago I think. It was cut from rock that's very hard to cut, as in you would need very recent saws to cut it, and it was made very precisely. Sadly I can't remember what it's called. A lot of people think it has to do with aliens, but I think that's kind of silly.

There's also, the Bloop.

It was even number one on the Cracked.com article, 6 Insane Discoveries that Science Can't Explain.

Thats it, im frozen, just checked Dyalatov Pass, and now i just cant move. Im too scared to look back. This is absurd, im 20 years old. I love unxplained mysteries, but their one of the only things that scare the hell out of me. Drakes_Fortune

This topic is interesting.

I think I found it, it's called Pumapunku. Apparently the big thing is that these stone things had interlocking parts with very little error.

This thread is awesome.

How about the Yonagunistructures 60-100 feet below the surface of the ocean off the coast of Japan? Amazing.

All the good ones have been taken and I can't think of any. :cry: How dare you!

I've heard of most allof those. I love these kinds things. They get my brain going at 100mph. Someof them seem fairly obvious as to their origin, but its obvious mainstream science is too closed minded to comprehend what it would mean.
