It's a very good channel overall. Well worth a look if you like the kind of things in this thread.

Incredible video. It's bizarre and very sad. Poor girl. Why her parents let her go there alone bothers me.
One thing I remember was that at that time LA Police had a few high profile cases, which may explain some of the shoddy investigating, and I never felt satisfied by anything the coroner found.
I dunno. It still does not seem solved, but that is the best that they will get.

Haha, they're pretty good. I discovered the channel a while ago. Binge watched it in its entirety. I have no regrets.

the Great Sphinx of Giza. nobody knows how old it is. more than likely it is older than Egypt. which only raises more questions.
i have lots more unsolved mysteries, most involving Egypt. it's a fascinating place.

I'm a true crime enthusiast, so this may not have interest in anyone who isn't, but the disappearance of Mikelle Biggs is one that has always haunted me. If you don't know the story, she basically ran toward an ice cream truck to get some ice cream and her sister left her by herself for no longer than 2 minutes and when she went back outside to get her for dinner she was gone and all that was left behind was her little bike with the wheels still spinning. In broad daylight. She was never seen again. No one saw or heard a thing. She was only 11. This was over 20 years ago now.
There have been some persons of interest that were looked at, but nothing concrete.
Maura Murray is another one.

Coral Castle is a good one
en.wikipedia.org
Apparently this this popped up almost overnight and the claim is that one guy designed and built the whole thing, no one has ever shown how he could have done it.

I would say my two favorite mysteries are Oak Island and the Dyatlov Path incident.

It's been explained, though.
Mystery of the Coral Castle Explained
The Coral Castle in Florida is an amazing feat of engineering, although it's not technically a castle — or made out of coral.

It just sort of posits that it can be done but doesn't really provide anything in the way of material evidence of how he actually did it.

What evidence has been brought forward to prove his methodology - speculation doesn't count. You've googled it surely you can show me what you learned.

There is literally footage of him doing it.

Kaspar Hauser, probably a fraud but it's an interesting story.

It's 8 and a half minutes long, and shows you footage of him using pulleys to move the coral, and it thoroughly explains everything. You don't have a spare 8 and a half minutes?
Start at 1.10.

Nymphae probably would've watched a 2 hour long video of it immediately without asking for timestamps if the video was made from the angle that aliens / supernatural skills did it
Also, I think that after this excange:
-No evidence
--Here's evidence
-Nah. More evidence?
--Here's more evidence
-Nah, doesn't count. Any REAL evidence?
--Here's a video that shows how it's done
-Not going to watch unless you timestamp the exact point it's shown
you should've written him a long ass text detailing every single thing shown in the video that would take him twice as much to read as it takes to watch the video, just out of spite.

I was at work and browsing the video on my phone and I just wanted to see the footage of him if there was any. I'd like to look into the source of this video which had never been seen before 2017. It's weird that it isn't on the wikipedia page, no idea who this Darren Nemeth guy is.

It was posted here in 2013 and was part of an installment in Universal Pictures' "Person-Oddity" series.

Here's just the video
It doesn't really get into a lot of it, it just shows him using a couple of simple machines in 2 spots in the video, but he is claimed to have built that entire place himself, cut all of the rock himself, the seams are absolutely perfect, etc. There was very little explanation going on in the video, just, oh yeah simple machines can do work. It's hard to believe there is no footage or pictures of the place actually being built.

Yes, he used simple machines and it took him years to do. Where's the mystery here? Also, it was in the 30's, video cameras weren't exactly prevalent. Not like the smartphone era we live in today.

This is so fucked up. I'm not starting a thread for it, and it looks technically 'unsolved' to me, so in here it goes. Be interested to see what other people think. Generally when I hear 'the last person to see the victim alive' I think 'you did it!'

This is a pretty good Skeptic Magazine article on the place from 2006, despite the constant handwaving away from the skeptics that it all had to be done with simple machines, there do remain many questions. The author here despite doing his best to provide explanations, several times admits to no one having any idea how some of these feats were accomplished. It's an enduring mystery for a reason, it's kind of a crazy story that one guy built this thing with no witnesses and even moved the whole damn place to another location, again with no witnesses on record.

This video really shows how the ordinary made strange is far more unsettling than things that have been explicitly designed to be scary.

I have an aunt that has some pretty bad psychological problems, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, you name it. I've seen her behaving in a similar way when having of of her "attacks".
She will tell aliens talked to her, she will tell people are following her, she won't stop moving and really say she can't stand still without moving her hands and feet... last time she was interned it was because she put fire on her house and said it was someone else (it was her, the neighbors saw it)... it's pretty fucked up what the mind can do, so I wouldn't jump to supernatural conclusions on this video and this case... poor girl.

The Great Sphinx that is near the pyramids of Giza. Who made it? Why is there evidence of water damage and how old is it?

I recommend reading The Mothman Prophecies (which is nothing like the movie). A whacky but fascinating book.

Will have to read it. Loved the movie though. Always reminded me of Silent Hill. Very eerie and unsettling film.

DB Cooper. I love the charm and old timey vibe of the story. Dude hijacks a plane solo, gets the money, then jumps into the wilderness. I hope he got away in the end

What a mess. Charles seems to be *HIGHLY* suggestible. There's also some phenomenon I can't remember at the moment where some people tend to attribute crimes/bad behavior that they didn't do to themselves. I think there's a name for it that's escaping me right now.
And poor Ryan. Sometimes life can just bend you over and say, "How do you like this?!" At least he got some justice and a payday for his troubles. He's also a great friend and a very good man for vowing to help his friend, after Charles was responsible for him losing a decade of his freedom.
And not even LOOKING @ Boyd, smdh. Utter incompetence - malevolent incompetence.
I also hate the nature of some detectives/interrogators that operate from the default position that the person sitting in front of them is guilty. Their job should be to find the truth, but many could not care less about it. They just want convictions, and that is a real shame and mockery of any concept of justice. They should be involved in some other profession.
A final point. Anyone dealing with any accusations from law enforcement ought to have the common sense to remain silent. The burden of proof is upon the state. Don't do their work for them. It never ceases to amaze me how many people just blather on and on. I'm always stunned at the lack of awareness many people seem to have for their circumstances - and the way the world works. Shut your hole!
