1. The rumble of Taos

A strange hum was recorded in the small American town of Taos, New Mexico. It can be heard by all the people who have been there, but the anomaly is that not a single device that captures the sound is able to "hear" it. The origin of this strange hum and its source is still a mystery. At the same time, many people say that the hum is vaguely reminiscent of the growl of a diesel engine.

2. Jack the Ripper

This name must have come across to the ears of each of us. Jack the Ripper is still an unsolved mystery of the deaths of 11 women. The main victims of the serial killer were women of easy virtue, and prostitutes in East London in the late 1800s. When they were found dead, their bodies were mutilated and their throats were cut. What motivated the killer and who this man was never found out.

3. Bermuda Triangle

This place connects three points: Puerto Rico, Bermuda, and Miami. In this anomalous place, many ships disappeared for a hitherto unknown reason. Pilots often mention that aircraft instruments refuse to work in this area. There are many theories about the Bermuda Triangle, but today no one knows the truth about the mysterious phenomena that reign there.

4. Cryptos

Cryptos is one of the most mysterious codes in the world that no one has yet been able to solve. The monument with the code is located in Virginia, USA, near the CIA headquarters in Langley. For a long time, scientists have been working on deciphering the mysterious message of the American artist James Sanborn, and here is the only phrase that they managed to recognize: “Between a vague shadow and the absence of light, there is an illusion of nuance.” What is written next is not known to anyone.

5. Georgia Guidestones

This structure is often called the American Stonehenge, because it is located in the state of Georgia, USA. Commandments of the world order are engraved on huge granite slabs in 8 languages - English, Spanish, Swahili, Hindi, Hebrew, Arabic, Chinese and Russian. They all talk about how to survive after a global catastrophe. To this day, scientists cannot determine when and why this structure was erected and to whom the messages on it are intended.

6. DB Cooper hijacking

In 1917, an unknown young man named D.B. Cooper hijacked a Boeing 727 with passengers on board. For the release of the hostages, he put forward a demand of $200,000 and four parachutes. When the plane landed at an auxiliary airfield, Cooper took what was demanded and released the passengers, but forced the pilots to raise the plane again. Approximately at the border with Mexico, the hijacker parachuted out and escaped. To this day, the authorities cannot explain where the perpetrator of the crime has gone, because no trace of him has been found.

7. Max Headroom on the air

In 1987, during one of the Doctor Who episodes, the broadcast was suddenly interrupted. For 90 seconds, a man wearing a Max Headroom mask appeared and muttered something indistinctly. After the broadcast continued as normal. Many associates this incident with the assassination of John F. Kennedy, because. both events happened at about the same time.

8. silent twins

Twins Jennifer and June Gibbons were born in 1960 and their main feature was that girls from childhood refused to communicate with people (even with their parents). They perfectly understood human speech and even talked to each other (although it sounded more like ordinary babble). When the sisters grew up, they were sent to a lunatic asylum, but they were soon released. They did not show signs of mental illness. One of the twins, June, spoke only after the death of her sister. She said that this is how they agreed many years ago: when one of them dies, the second will begin to communicate with other people. The reason for this strange behavior of the sisters still remains an unsolved mystery.

9. Tunguska meteorite

On June 30, 1908, in the Krasnoyarsk Territory, Russia, an explosion occurred. The blast wave destroyed a large area of the forest, and the impact was felt even 60 km from the epicenter. The anomaly is that there was neither a crater nor the remnants of a meteorite at the site of the explosion. The Tunguska meteorite is shrouded in many theories, one of which says that the explosion was organized by Nikola Tesla. So he destroyed a certain celestial body with his technologies. Or maybe it was just a rollback from some experiment of his.
