The list of strange and mysterious cases that humanity cannot find a solution to continues to extend, no matter how much science and technology develops.
10. The double
In 2008, the movie Changeling by Clint Eastwood recalls one of the most bizarre and tragic stories of the 1920s. Single mother Christine Collins says her 9-year-old son, Walter Collins, went missing in March 1928 at home. exclusively in Los Angeles City – USA.
Five months later, the police brought “Walter” back to Mrs. Christine but it was not Walter but another boy. Although the woman knew this was not her son, the Los Angeles City police dispelled Christine’s concerns, even accused her of failing to fulfill the mother’s responsibility and forced her to go to a mental hospital.

Walter Collins is never actually found. Some time later, authorities believed the boy was one of the victims of the convicted child murderer Gordon Stewart Northcott. Meanwhile, Northcott’s mother confessed to the murder of Walter.
So far, the boy’s body has not been found and no one knows what happened. It is also unclear why the police wanted to cover up the boy’s disappearance that they brought another child to Christine and tried to convince the woman and the public that it was Walter. .
11. Female students go to another planet?
Paula Jean Welden, 18 years old, is a second year student at Bennington College (USA). On December 1, 1946, Welden informed his roommate, Elizabeth Parker, that she had taken a hike but was unable to return.
Authorities immediately launched a search on the 435-kilometer Long Trail that cuts through Vermont to the Canadian border, where some local witnesses reported seeing the girl.

However, they did not find any clues. Police then received information from a Massachusetts waitress who had served an excited girl, matching Paula’s identity.
Upon learning of this information, Paula’s father disappeared for 36 hours, supposedly to “follow the trail of his daughter”, but it was the strange move that made him the No. 1 suspect in the Paula disappearance.
Next, stories about Paula’s home life began to spread, almost as unusual as her parents told the police. Apparently, Paula had not returned home on Thanksgiving the week before, seeming to feel anxious about her dissonance with her father. Paula’s father, on the other hand, theorized that his daughter was “distraught by liking a guy so he must be a suspect”.
A decade later, a local man in the town of Bennington, Vermont, twice told his friends that he knew where Paula’s body was buried. However, he couldn’t bring the police in ?! With no evidence of crime, no body and no forensic clue, the incident has become increasingly mysterious, including those related to the paranormal hypothesis.

In 1900, the three lighthouses guarding the Flannan Islands, off the west coast of Scotland, suddenly disappeared in confusion. The lighthouse is overseen by a group of four including Thomas Marshall, James Ducat, Donald MacArthur and one person alternating from the shore.
On December 26, 1900, the fourth person took turns to the lighthouse but could not see the other 3 people. This person saw an overturned chair near the kitchen table. No body was found. It is believed that 3 people drowned, kidnapped by foreign agents, a ghost ship or giant sea monster. Until now, the secret is still buried.
13. The dog’s death bridge
The Overtoun Bridge, near Dumbarton – Scotland, seems to have the force of calling for dogs to plunge into death. Since the early 1960s, about 50 dogs have perished under this bridge and hundreds more have jumped down but survived. Below the Overtoun Bridge at an altitude of 15 m are jagged rocks.

The Scottish Association against Cruelty of Animals sent people to investigate, but to no avail. Scientifically, it can be said that dogs have the ability to “form suicidal intentions”. However, something was enticing them to jump off the bridge, often from the same spot and always on sunny days.
Many theories have come up, including the haunted bridge (which is popular after a local man threw his young son down the bridge and killed him in 1994), a weasel mark the area with a scent that attracts dogs or an unusual sound at the bridge that only dogs can hear.
14. “Monsters” are gray
The Big Gray Man is a mysterious creature believed to haunt the second highest peak in Scotland, Ben Macdui. In the native Scottish language, this creature is called Am Fear Liath Mòr.
Like the Yeti (snowman) of the Himalayas and the Big Foot (big-legged monster) in the Pacific Northwest, the Big Gray Man is confirmed to have been seen by several witnesses.

The appearance of this creature is not like a bear. Those who have seen the Big Gray Man describe it as tall (over 3 meters) and human-like with short hair, wide shoulders, and long arms. Nearly all of Big Gray Man’s appearances have been accompanied by the sound of gravel beneath its footsteps.
Scientists have yet to come up with an explanation for the Big Gray Man sightings and accompanying sound. Meanwhile, psychologists argue that those who are supposed to see and hear the Big Gray Man are in a state of physical and mental distress due to exhaustion or feeling alone.
15. The occult colony of Roanoke
In 1587, John White led a group of people from England to colonize on Roanoke Island, located in a chain of islands today known as the Outer Banks, North Carolina – USA.
White then leaves to find more supplies. But when he returned three years later, he found the colony abandoned, in which all houses and structures were carefully dismantled.

Before leaving Roanoke Island, White instructed the group from England that if they were captured by force, they had to carve a cross into a nearby tree but there was no cross. The only clue is from “Croatoan”, the name of an indigenous tribe allied with Britain. White understood this to mean that the group had moved to Croatoan Island (now known as the Hatteras).
Investigations conclude that the group was “slaughtered by the Powhatan tribe” but there is no archaeological evidence for this. Conducting a recent review of official sources, it was discovered that an earlier group of people might have been slaughtered rather than White’s.
Some hypotheses suggest that they and the Croatoans or local tribes have merged, but so far no evidence of DNA has been found to help identify their descendants. Scientists are still unable to explain this ocean mystery.
16. Circleville letter writer
In 1976, residents of Circleville City, Ohio – USA, received anonymous letters. They were postmarked from the city of Columbus in the same state, filled with harsh words.
The text of the letter reminds one of the alleged relationship between the school bus driver Mary Gillespie and the superintendent. A letter was sent to Mr. Ron, Mary’s husband, threatening his life if he does not end his love for his wife.

By 1977, Mr. Ron was killed in a suspicious car crash, including shooting. However, the local police chief said that Mr. Ron’s death was just an accident. After that, Circleville City residents began receiving letters accusing the sheriff of covering up the incident.
Letters continued throughout the 1970s and early 1980s, even after Ron’s sister’s husband, Paul Freshour, was found guilty of “writing letters and trying to kill Mary with a single gun. pistol”.
However, even when Mr. Freshour went to jail, letters still appeared. Mr. Freshour even received a letter from among them. In 1994, Mr. Freshour was released and died in 2012. The true identity of “Circleville Writer” remains in darkness. Some believe it is Mr. Freshour. Others suspect it is Mary, who used the letters to support her perfect murder of her husband.
17. The Tunguska Facts

On the morning of June 30, 1908, nearly 2,000 square kilometers of forest in Siberia – Russia was cut down by “an explosion”. There are no witnesses or evidence associated with this event. It was named “the Tunguska event”. Scientists classify it as a “collision event”, meaning that the collision can be recorded between two astronomical objects, such as an asteroid and the earth.
However, no craters were found in the “collision”. So scientists can only guess what happened, maybe an asteroid exploded on Earth, causing the aforementioned devastation in Siberia.
18. Flight MH370
On March 8, 2014, while flying from Malaysia to China, a Boeing 777 carrying 239 passengers and a crew member of the Malaysian Airlines airline suddenly disappeared.

One of the largest multinational search operations in aviation history found just 20 of the plane’s debris. Malaysia’s Prime Minister declined to comment beyond saying the plane had disappeared over the Indian Ocean.
Theories included, hijacked, captured by the US, crew committed suicide (there is information that the pilot is having a marriage problem), fire on a plane, plunging into the sea, natural Jelly attacks and even gets captured by aliens. But until now, this is still the biggest mystery in the history of modern world aviation.
