We have always liked to delve ourselves into good mysteries. Be it real-life stories, books or movies; mysteries have always managed to fascinate us. It’s even more attractive if the mysteries are unsolved. We may wonder what is the mystery of the Bermuda Triangle, who Jack the Ripper was, or what happened to the Malaysian airline Flight MH370. Some of the mysteries are solved and some others are yet to be solved.

People don’t tend to believe the logical explanations of the enigma. It’s like people crave for the explanations of the mystery but somewhere deep within they don’t want the fun of the unsolved mystery to come to an end.

So, get ready to witness some of the solved and unsolved mysteries of all time.

1.Bigfoot

Bigfoot has managed to grab the attention of many researchers and investigators for a long time. People who study the subject of Bigfoot reveal the fact that there have been many eyewitnesses for this phenomenon. It is supposedly believed that this creature lives in the snowy mountains of the USA and Canada. This creature remains to be a mystery.

2.The Bermuda Triangle

The Bermuda Triangle, aka the Devil’s triangle, is a mystery we all must have heard of. It comprises the area between Bermuda, Florida and Puerto Rico that gives it the shape of a triangle. Many ships and planes have disappeared in this region without a trace. There are many theories behind it. Some associate it with aliens; others give scientific explanations for it, while others give supernatural explanations. But recently, science has claimed to solve the mystery of the Bermuda Triangle. It is found that the number that goes missing in the Bermuda Triangle is the same as anywhere in the world on a percentage basis. Some books prove that the disappearances were during the time of bad storms.

3.Jack the Ripper

It is needless to explain the mystery of Jack the Ripper who terrorized London in 1888. He killed at least 5 women and mutilated their bodies in a manner that the bodies of victims were not recognizable. Jack the Ripper remains the world’s most infamous criminals.

4.How were the pyramids made?

This question has been a matter of discussion for a long period. People often wondered for years about how the slave workers transported the huge stones across the Valley of Kings in around 2000 BC. Therefore, people believed it was the work of aliens. But the Dutch physicists busted the mystery by concluding that the large teams of workers might have hauled the giant stone blocks on a sledge and poured water on the sand so that the sled could move easily over the sand.

5.Mary Celeste- The Ghost Ship

This is considered to be one of the most bizarre ship mysteries. It so happened that on December 4, 1872, a British-American ship called ‘The Mary Celeste’ was found empty in the Atlantic and no one on the board was ever heard from again. Many theories were given over it like pirate attack, mutiny, giant octopus or sea monster attack. Recently, scientists have given the theory that fumes from alcohol on board resulted in an explosion and therefore, left no signs of burning.

6.The Loch Ness Monster

The mystery of Loch Ness Monster is nothing new. People have been hearing about it for ages. Many pictures, videos, and eyewitness stories have surfaced up the internet which solidifies the existence of this sea monster. Yet some people believe it’s merely a bluff. But Loch Ness Monster remains to be a mystery.

7.The Stonehenge

Built roughly between 4000 and 5000 years ago in Salisbury, England, the Stonehenge is one of the most mysterious places in the world. The biggest of the Stonehenge’s stones (called sarsens) is about 30 feet tall and weighs up to 25 tons on an average. The smaller stones (called Bluestones) weigh up to 4 tons. The bigger stones were moved about 32 km and the smaller ones were moved about 225 km. Now, the question is how the people in antiquity managed to move such heavy stones so far off distance?Some experiments show that one stone might have been pulled by many workers on a wooden trackway, but the technique is still unknown. Another group of scientists says that the glaciers during the ice age might have carried the Bluestones to the Stonehenge area. But the exact explanation is still unknown.

8.What is Area 51?

Area 51 is a U.S. military base in Southern Nevada that holds intense secrecy.Based on certain evidence it is believed that the area was used for the development and testing of weapons. But due to the mystery surrounding Area 51, rumors spread that the government housed the crashed UFOs and conducted lab tests on aliens. Other theories regarding area 51 included: research on teleportation, research on time travel, development of means to control the weather, etc.

9.Aliens

We always have this question in mind: are we alone in this universe? We all might have come across TV shows, books or movies that answer the above question. But there are no exact proofs or explanations for it. But it is certain that there are several videos, real-life footage, pictures and eyewitnesses for it. But the truth behind the existence of aliens is still a question.

10.The Lost City of Atlantis

We all must have heard of the Lost City of Atlantis, the legendary island that is believed to have sunk in the sea in one day and one night. Different findings suggest that the Greek philosopher Plato came up with the story of Atlantis. His two writings Timaeus and Critias, mentions the existence of Atlantis based on the stories being heard during the journey. Even after so many years, people still wonder what the truth of this lost city is.

These were the few among the never-ending list of mysteries in the world. Though different experiments and researches have managed to provide explanations to some of the cases, yet many others continue to fascinate people and invite the wit of investigators and researchers to solve them.
