after 6:30 one evening hald went outside to brush his teeth when he noticed something strange three lights in a triangle formation were flickering in the darkening sky the lights just floated there the intensity of their glow changing with every flicker hard ran inside to call his kids to come and look a few minutes later the lights disappeared Carl to become one of many people to witness the mysterious phenomenon known as the host Allen lights records of the lights date back to the 19th century they have been reported to glow in many different colors including blue red and yellow and have been observed floating just a short distance above the ground or streaking across the sky at great speeds the lights were particularly active during the 1980s with up to 20 eyewitness reports coming in per week scientists have been studying the lights for years but have yet to come up with a widely accepted explanation theories include ionize dust combustible particles in the air and naturally UFO number nine the bailing incident in January 1889 the discovery of two bodies in a rural hunting lodge outside Vienna shook the world the Archduke of Austria Hungary Prince Rudolf and his lover Baroness marie viscera lay side by side in a cabin in the village of meiling they had been shot to death the mystery surrounding their death started when Prince Rudolf father Emperor Franz Joseph put out an order that the tragedy be covered up this was most likely because Rudolf was having an affair with Ventura despite being married to a Belgian princess in order to keep the Easter under wraps even after the two levers died m'lee Victor's body was whisked away and buried in secret since the church would not allow a proper funeral for a suicide victim nobody even mentioned that this was a possibility instead a rumor was spread that Rudolf had been poisoned by his enemies however the Emperor later told the Pope that he suspected Rudolf must have killed himself and Ventura during a dot of temporary insanity the Pope allowed a Catholic burial only after the Emperor died in 1916 did the true details of the couple's deaths come to light by then many outlandish rumors about the incident were doing the round more than 100 years later this speculation has not stopped theories includes murder-suicide of politically motivated killing or cover-up after veterans relatives shot Rudolf good death during a drunken brawl it is likely that the only two people who knew the truth died in that launch number 8 the red crab mansion another century old cold case concerns the 1901 murder of ADA Maria Mills right paths and her son Clifford in their luxurious Montreal mansion ADA was an extremely wealthy widow who suffered from rheumatoid arthritis for son on the other hand was as healthy as a horse and in the process of preparing to take the Canadian bar exam one newspaper speculated that Clifford couldn't handle the stress of the exam and murdered his mother before shooting himself another paper claimed that the widow red-crab suffered from such severe insomnia that she tried to take her own life when her son intervened he was accidentally shot to death by his own mother strangely the coroner wrote his report on the case from details given by a doctor who wasn't even at the murder scene on such evidence his report concluded that Clifford was an epileptic and must have had an episode of temporary insanity on the day he and his mother died even stranger is decide that police were never called to the mansion the tragedy happened on a Thursday evening and less than 48 hours later the burials were done and dusted in a matter of weeks life in the neighborhood resumed as usual no one mentioned the murders again the red path mansion murders remain one of the most fascinating mysteries in Canadian history number seven the Melungeons in 1690 French traders unexpectedly came across a mysterious settlement in southern Appalachia they reported that the people there lived in log cabins and had unusual all again and facial features reminiscent of Europeans since they resembled the North African merchants that the French had done business with in Europe they assumed they had stumbled on a colony of wars nothing more was heard of the strange settlers until 1784 when the frontiersman john saviour visited what would later be known as Hancock County Tennessee Savior discovered a colony of people he described as having European features in dark-skinned although the settlers themselves claim to be Portuguese apparently did not believe them also concluding that they remorse by the 1800s the mysterious settlers had spread out from Tennessee into isolated areas of Virginia and Kentucky neighboring communities call them the mill engines and took every opportunity to degrade and discriminate against them Appalachian mothers would scare their children with tales of the dark people in the mountains the origins of the Melungeons remained unknown the most common theory is that they are a mixture of white black and Native American ancestors others have suggested that they are the descendants of the Lost Colony of Roanoke shipwrecked Portuguese sailors ancient Phoenician settlers or even one of the Lost Tribes of Israel the official census records have varied wildly labeling the melons of white Portuguese Native American or mulatto at different points in history in 1999 new evidence emerged that the Melungeons may have been among the earliest old-world settlers in North America according to dr. Brent Kennedy of Virginia's Weiss College the mill engines may be the descendants of Ottoman Turks brought to the new world as servants and abandoned in the area by Sir Francis Drake after he captured them from the Spanish the term Melungeon may have come from melons in Arabic for a curse fill abandoned by God since this is still just a theory the origins of the Melungeon people remain a mystery number 6 The Ballad Island lifeboat line deep in the South Atlantic bow that Island has been described as among the most isolated places on earth the nearest land masses Antarctica more than 1,100 miles further south no has ever inhabited the island and since plant life is unsustainable there it is likely that no one ever will yet when a British expedition arrived from South Africa in 1964 they discovered an abandoned lifeboat in a lagoon on the island not far from the boat were oars won a drum and a copper tank the boat was in a good condition but the expedition party could find no trace of any passengers the boat had no identifiable marks on it and therefore could not be traced back to any nation or shipping company even more strangely when another expedition was sent to bounty island two years later the lifeboat had vanished all of the other objects found near cat alpha disappeared to date no one knows how the boat got there or what happened to the people that were in it number 5 Shannon item in 2009 28 year-old Shannon isome was rushed to an emergency room in Memphis Tennessee after experiencing and asthma attack the doctors on call treated her with a dose of steroids and sent her home soon activist Shannon have began experiencing an itching sensation which worsened despite medical treatment then alarmingly she noticed that her legs were turning black doctors became convinced she had a staph infection or some type of eczema like skin disorder more treatment was given but things just went from bad to worse scabs were forming all over her body and she was losing weight rapidly the doctors in Memphis were dumbfounded telling Shannon and her family that she would probably have to live with this strange disease for the rest of her life two years later still looking for answers and a cure Shannon visited Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore specialists there determined that she was suffering from an unknown condition that caused her produces 12 times the normal number of skin cells in her hair follicles this was essentially causing her to grow fingernails instead of hair doctors at Johns Hopkins are still trying to figure out the cause of the strange disease Isum is currently taking 25 different types of medicine but is still no closer to being cured member for the Patong ski crater in 1949 geologist vadim culprit off set off on an expedition to siberia not realizing that he was about to discover one of the strangest unsolved mysteries in the world the Patong ski crater as call for calm traveled deep into almost uncharted territory the local he cut people warned him not to go on explaining that there was an evil place deep in the woods that even the animals avoided they called it the fire eagle nest and claimed that people would start to feel unwell near it and some would simply disappear without a trace a man of science called Berkoff was not put off by these stories but even he was at a loss to explain what he found deep in the Siberian forests a giant crater the size of a 25 story building reared up out of the trees up close it resembled a volcano mouth but CALPIRG off knew that there had been no volcanoes in the area for at least a few million years this crater looked relatively newly formed called the cough estimated it is around 250 years old a figure supported by later studies of nearby tree grove interestingly the trees also seem to have undergone a period of accelerated growth similar to that seen in the forests around Chernobyl since the discovery of the crater there have been many theories as to what or who could have created it some people including call for cough have speculated that it might have been formed by a meteorite although the crater does not resemble any other known meteorite site others are convinced that it was indeed a volcano many even think that there is a UFO hidden underneath the crater in 2005 an expedition was launched in the hopes of finding some answers but then tragedy struck the leader of the expedition died of a heart attack just a few kilometers away from the site the locals were convinced it was the evil grader that led to his death number three the tolerance of Minorca the tallest our ancient megaliths that stand on the Spanish island of Menorca quite similar in appearance to the more famous Stonehenge while it is thought that the tallest were erected by the ancient inhabitants of the island at some point after 2,000 BC there is no concrete evidence as to why the structures were built or why they are found only on menorca and not on neighboring island naturally theories abound some believe that the stones symbolized a temple of some sort Valle Tamar Fenn a German archaeologist has pointed out that the tallest all face south leading him to speculate that they were erected as a religious monument to measure the movement of the moon his theory became known as the Tala moon theory unfortunately Sens theory could only be applied to 12 of the 13 intact olives it did not match the megalith found on the northern side of the island the real reason for the tallest construction remains unknown member tale suiciders the term Foo Fighters was applied to various UFO sightings that occurred during the Second World War during the war fighter pilots and crews on warships noticed strange lights in the sky and silver objects that look like disks zipping overhead in late 1942 a Royal Air Force pilot was flying a hurricane fighter plane over friend when he noticed two strange-looking lights flying toward his aircraft he is saying they were tracer fire until he realized that the lights were actually following him repeating all the moves he made while in the air no matter how hard he tried the pilot was unable to evade the lights he also noticed that they kept in even space between them while pursuing him only after several miles did they finally this appear from view this strange incident came just four months after Marines in the Solomon Islands reported seeing information of over 150 silver colored objects racing through the sky the Marines noted that the objects made a strange noise and that they didn't have tails or wings as airplanes do all mention of the sightings was suppressed until the war near defend the first report of whose didn't hit newspapers until December 1944 number one the island more lighthouse mystery

lighthouse keeper named Joseph Moore was eventually sent to investigate as he climbed the narrow rocky stairs leading up to the lighthouse Moore recalled being struck with a sense of nameless dread as he neared the door he saw that it was unlocked stepping carefully inside he also noticed that two of the three waterproof jackets usually kept in the hall were missing reaching the kitchen he found the remains of a meal and a chair lying on the floor the clock in the kitchen have stopped working the lighthouse keepers were nowhere to be seen a further investigation revealed the disturbing final entries in the lighthouse log the entry for December 12th was written by a keeper named Thomas Marshall in it Marshall claimed the island had been struck by severe winds worse than anything he had experienced in his career even though the lighthouse was solid enough to outlast any storm Marshall wrote that the principal keeper James deckled was very quiet the third keeper William MacArthur was an experienced sailor and a famously tough hovering brawler the log entry ended by noting that he had been crying further entries recorded that the storm continued to rage for a few days secure in the
