Bizarre Unsolved Mysteries
Thought I'd start this thread since I love reading about this stuff on other forums.
The Dyatlov Pass Incident
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dyatlov_Pass_incident
Quote:
The Dyatlov Pass incident refers to an event that resulted in the deaths of nine ski hikers in the northern Ural mountains on the night of February 2, 1959. It happened on the east shoulder of the mountain Kholat Syakhl (Холат Сяхл) (a Mansi name, meaning Mountain of the Dead). The mountain pass where the incident occurred has since been named Dyatlov Pass (Перевал Дятлова) after the group's leader, Igor Dyatlov (Игорь Дятлов)

The Kelly-Hopkinsville Encounter
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kelly%E...ille_encounter
Quote:
The Kelly–Hopkinsville encounter, also known as the Hopkinsville Goblins Case, and to a lesser extent the Kelly Green Men Case, is the name given to a series of presumably connected incidents of alleged close encounters with supposed extraterrestrial beings. The incidents occurred in the fall of 1955, the most famous and well-publicized of which centered around a rural farmhouse at the time belonging to the Sutton family, which was located between the hamlet of Kelly and the small city of Hopkinsville, both in Christian County, Kentucky, United States. It is from these main incidents that the entire case takes its name.

The miniature coffins on Arthurs Seat
http://blogs.forteana.org/node/97
Quote:
That, early in July, 1836, some boys were searching for rabbits' burrows in the rocky formation, near Edinburgh, known as Arthur's Seat. In the side of a cliff, they came upon some thin sheets of slate, which they pulled out.
Little cave.
Seventeen tiny coffins.
Three or four inches long.
In the coffins were miniature wooden figures. They were dressed differently in both style and material. There were two tiers of eight coffins each, and a third one begun, with one coffin.
The extraordinary datum, which has especially made mystery here:
That the coffins had been deposited singly, in the little cave, and at intervals of many years. In the first tier, the coffins were quite decayed, and the wrappings had moldered away. In the second tier, the effects of age had not advanced to far. And the top coffin was quite recent looking.

Crazy Swedish Twins
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ursula_and_Sabina_Eriksson
Quote:
Ursula and Sabina Eriksson, born 1967, are a pair of Swedish twins who came to national attention in the United Kingdom in 2008 after an apparent episode of folie ā deux which resulted in unique footage of insanity on the M6 motorway and the killing of Glenn Hollinshead. No drugs or alcohol were involved in any of the incidents.[1][2] Their actions have never been explained, other than by a rare, induced delusional disorder which caused the pair to be temporarily insane.[3]

The Solway Firth Spaceman
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Solway_Firth_Spaceman
Quote:
The Solway Firth Spaceman (also known as the Solway Spaceman and the Cumberland Spaceman) refers to a photograph taken in 1964 at Burgh Marsh, situated near Burgh by Sands and overlooking the Solway Firth in Cumbria, England. The image, which shows in the background a white figure in what the photographer Jim Templeton took for a space suit, remains unexplained. While it has been suggested by some that the figure is merely someone with their back to the camera, perhaps wearing a hat or helmet[1], Templeton insists that he did not see anyone present when the photograph was taken. The image has attracted interest from ufologists and has become a source of international fascination.[2]

The Valentich Disappearance
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valentich_disappearance
Quote:
The Frederick Valentich Disappearance is an event that occurred on October 21, 1978, in which 20-year-old Frederick Valentich disappeared in unexplained circumstances while piloting a Cessna 182L light aircraft over the Bass Strait to King Island, Australia. Prior to his disappearance, Valentich reported via radio that he had encountered an unidentified craft which was moving at the same speed of his plane, and which hovered over him. No trace of Valentich or his aircraft was ever found. Shortly before Valentich’s last reported contact, plumber Roy Manifold set up a time lapse camera and tripod on the shoreline in order to photograph the sun setting over the water. When his pictures were developed they appeared to show a fast moving object exiting the water. Manifold gave the time that the pictures were taken as being approximately 6:47 pm (18:47 hrs), or 20 minutes before Valentich reported having difficulties. Moments before a strange noise terminated Valentich’s communications, he said: “My intentions are - ah - to go to King Island - ah - Melbourne. That strange aircraft is hovering on top of me again (open microphone for two seconds). It is hovering and it’s not an aircraft.”

[TIME- 19:12:49]
REMARKS-
There is no record of further transmissions from the aircraft.
Weather in the Cap Otway was clear with a trace of stratocumulus cloud at 5K to 7K feet. Scattered cirrus cloud at 30K feet. Excellent visibility. Light winds. End of daylight at Cape Otay was 19:18.
SAR procedures were declared at 1912 hours. At 1933 hours when the aircraft did not arrive at King Island, the Distress Phase was declared and search action commenced. An intensive air, sea, and land search was continued until 25 October 1978, but no trace of the aircraft was found.
The reason for the disappearance of the aircraft has not been determined.

Oak Island
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oak_Island_Money_Pit
Quote:
For nearly 200 years, singly and in syndicates, men have been boring and tunneling on a small island off Nova Scotia in search of a fabulous treasure.
Vastly more treasure—has been poured into the search than has ever came out of it. Whoever dug the “Money Pit” on Oak Island was a brilliant engineer, who harnessed the sea to keep trespassers at bay and to keep something so valuable out of others hands.
The only finds so far have been: three links of a chain that may have been gold or copper (accounts vary); a tiny scrap of parchment reading the two letters, V and I, written with a quill pen: and a cipher stone with odd samples that was found at 90 feet down the shaft. But which has since mysteriously disappears. Having last been seen circa 19

Vitrified Forts
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitrified_Forts
Quote:
These are hill forts surrounded by rocks that have been liquified and allowed to resolidify. Sometimes the liquified rocks are used to seal gaps between larger unmelted rocks, but sometimes an entire wall is made from the melted rocksMost vitrified forts are in Scotland, though some have been found in Ireland and mainland Europe.
The forts are around 2000 or more years old, and no one is sure how they were made. It would take a temperature of over 1000 degrees C to melt the rocks used in the forts, and while people of ancient times might have been able to generate fires of those temperatures, it's unclear how such heat was maintained long enough to melt so many rocks. It would've taken an incredible amount of fuel, far more than would seem possible or practical, so they must have used some method to melt rocks with relatively little fuel. However, no one in modern times has ever been able to come up with such a method. Another problem is that melting rocks actually weakens them, so why go to so much trouble to build a fort out of them?

have tons more that Ill add later.
