I once found a rainbow in summer, in Vijaypur, in Karnataka, India. It dissapered after I saw it and appeared again later. Wasn't a hallucination, my brother saw it with me later too.

Sleeping sickness - this happened to my great uncle when he was 4. When he came out of it, he was permanently 4/5 years old developmentally. He outlived his siblings, and was very much loved & spoiled by all of us until he passed away. Even though he was 89yo, it was like losing a child in our extended family. He was a sweet soul who radiated with kindness.
yeah early humans were smarter, and healthier than us, not medieval humans, i mean like pre-historic. they were in tune with nature, real food from nature, and exercised regularly every day.
@@ericpabon2458 yeah, like they dont have anything to do if they are bored, they prob dont even know that feeling is called bored, so they do some weird shits
There is an odd connection between two of these stories. The lighthouse with the missing men inspired the 1977 Doctor Who story, "Horror of Fang Rock," in which the Fourth Doctor and his Companion Leela are the only survivors of an event at a lighthouse. That story was playing on a PBS station which was the second station interrupted by the Max Headroom event, and in fact, a couple of seconds of it can be seen in this video before Max pops in.
Was going to post the same thing. it's not resurrection (which is bringing the dead back to life), but reincarnation (being born again into a different body).
anyone who's seen horrible histories knows about the Children of Woolpit. They were immigrants from another country who's parents supposedly died on the journey. The kids then lived off of whatever they found in the forest for god knows how long and it likely pigmented their skin a greenish colour. The boy died of an illness which was unknown to the people of Woolpit and the girl went on to be a maid.
Yes! The "Scary Stories" sketch on them (Season 2 Episode 3) explains it just as you said. For those who aren't familiar with Horrible Histories, it's streaming on Hulu. As a history teacher, I obviously highly recommend it!
I live in Woolpit and it's quite a strange thing to happen but apparently they were from a Belgium cloth mill and the dyes they used ended up dying their skin but at least that's what everyone says round here
I read it in "The Book of Lists." Their blurb said the cave was in Spain. It's still intriguing either way. Of course, it's a legend going back nearly a thousand years. So, who knows? "The Book of Lists" contained lots of apocrypha.
The Children of Woolpit were Belgians orphans that had lost their parents and lived in the woods. The only food they had to eat were the wild plants in the forest and this turned their skin green. The boy died of malnutrition, and the girl lived to be a domestic servant of the local knight, and died of old age. In English history they taught that the villagers eventually found someone who spoke Flemish, and also found the bodies of their parents. The parents were also human. This story is referred in "Essential British History" and "Horrible Histories". The Horrible histories version is more fun.
I read the “unidentified” guy didn’t wash ashore, he was propped up against a sea wall. Wouldn’t the slip of paper have fallen apart if it had been submerged in ocean water?
Have you ever heard of the mystery of random self combustion, there’s a number of people who just random lit on fire inside their torso and burned to death. It’s really crazy
@Jarrod Fuchs, et al, I think that spontaneous human combustion happens when a chemical reaction happens that makes humans go kaboom, just like the chemical reactions in bombs. Also, if you want proof of that being real, just look at giant whale carcasses that explode as they compose, and/or are helped to be forced to explode by human means. I also would not doubt that a natural variant of something that is chemically related to nitroglycerin, and/or methamphetamine, and/or some other type of explosive material, somehow forms in the body. However, I am neither a scientist, nor am I a doctor, but, if I were one of those things, then I definitely would not rule them out, though.
Unsolved mysteries did an episode on this!Ever since then I’ve held on to the fear that one day, I too may spontaneously combust…it’s been like 25 years since that episode aired😅
Yes and there' s still debate on why it happens and I believe scientists have their therioes on it why it happens but there are still no solid answers to it.

Tamam Shud is more commonly known as The Somerton Man as he was found on Somerton Beach. Such an interesting story. I live in the area and visited his grave last year.
The Somerton Man is one mystery I’d love to see solved. My grandmother lived at Somerton at the time so it holds a certain amount of extra fascination for me.
While officials have yet to confirm, reports have just come out that the identity of the Somerton Man has been discovered! Give it a google, they are saying his name was Carl Webb, an electrical engineer from Melbourne. The BBC has an article on it.
Having grown up in the area and spending time at the Spook Light, there is one phenomenon that most researchers don't mention: a lot of the "witnesses" were drunk. That was a big time party road in the 80's when I was there as it was the same in the 50's when my mother and uncle where there too. My uncle actually saw it, but my mom never did and neither did I. But oh, the memories I made of all the other stuff that went on out there!
In fact, the problem with a lot of "mysteries", especially but not only from a distant past, is that there is nothing but "accounts" and "it is said" and "reportedly". In those cases I didn't even listen to the rest of the story. The kind of mystery I prefer, the one that gives me goosebumps, is not the "it is said that one morning a huge pink rock was seen hanging in the air and then disappeared" type, but rather the "there is this small blank hole in a perfectly solid, widely documented rock and nobody can explain how it was made" type.
No, it is not "max headroom" that is obscure. The character in the commercials was based on a much more obscure small set of pirate transmissions seen only in one or two states. That is what they are claiming is obscure.
@@miguelEguzman You have it backwards. The hack came after the commercials and the TV series featuring the character. The pirate broadcast wasn't until 6 months after the show premiered.

- The Pied Piper of Hamelin: the earliest written history of the city of Hamelin begins with this line: "It has been 100 years since our children vanished". This was written in 1384. Whatever happened to the children was traumatic enough to have been recorded in writing and in the form of a stained-glass window in the town's church. An oral account of the incident was written down supposedly in the late 1200s, but the book was lost in the 17th century. To this day, nothing is known of the fate of Hamelin's children beyond the Grimm Brothers' fairy tale. - The Kelly Farmhouse Incident: this is perhaps the most credible evidence of a potentential alien encounter with multiple witnesses, independently coaberated accounts from these witnesses, and physical evidence. The details are too long to go into here, but no credible explanation of that night's encounter has ever been offered.
The Philadelphia experiment is one of my favourite. Talks about a navy American shp that was said to be able to be cloaked invisible and teleported from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to Norfolk, Virginia. During one of the trials (I think) the whole ship disappeared. it appeared a few days later but the crew was either dead (by unknown causes) or was infused with the walls of the ship. Theories say it moved to another dimension where it had some extraterrestrial fight and then teleported back. There are claims of people years and years later, encountering three men in WWII navy suits. They appeared out of thin air in the middle of the room for a few seconds, only to disappear without a trace a few seconds later
2:39 I heard about that bridge. I wonder why they didn't install the rail guard or a cross wire fence to protect the dogs when they already know a lot of dogs have fallen so far.
the USS cyclops likely sank due to methane bubbles from the uniquely-formed underwater volcanoes in the bermuda. basically when a ship passes over a stream of bubbles in the water, it suddenly loses buoyancy and sinks like a rock. so a ship that is having no issues sailing through fair weather would appear to just vanish without a trace.
That Brazil one is really interesting, Brazil was discovered by accident. A Portuguese sailor was attempting to round the horn and got blown off course. We have evidence that Carthaginian ships sailed those waters. It’s not crazy to suspect an ancient or medieval mariner did the same thing
I've heard of all of these. However, the Max Headroom thing is no big mystery. The actor that did the character was in a short lived TV series for awhile. He also appeared on MTV for a while. The " highjacking" was just a stunt pulled off by the TV station to create an illusion that their programming had been interrupted by an unknown source. It turns out that a few bored TV technical persons actually did it. Today we would call them hackers.
So the simplest and most likely explanation is that he was just an ordinary guy with no crime precedings (hence his fingerprints were unrecorded), no documents with him and no dear ones who would have reported him missing, who happened to commit suicide. It makes sense after all.

Those “spook lights” exist in random areas throughout the Ozark Mountains. Not just in the areas mentioned here. I’ve seen them on several occasions & it’s definitely not due to headlights. Because they can be seen in areas too far from highways for that to be feasible. Plus, they can stay steady in place for indefinite periods of time & then suddenly move away & disappear.
A year late... but couldn't people have just driven cars to certain spots and sat there with the car on? Maybe brought fog lights with them? Sounds incredibly stupid, but I've heard- and seen- far dumber things.
@@MLPIceberg No. I don’t believe so. Where I’ve seen them are in forested areas where there aren’t roads. However, if it had been headlights, you’d be able to see the beams. There weren’t any beams. Just little balls of light. And it wasn’t where the light was hitting something. They’d hover in the air & then float away. I don’t know what they are. I can’t explain them.
I've actually heard about Benjamin Bathurst. Eerie stuff. I've heard several theories, some of them going as far as teleportation/space-time travel/displacement. I've heard him mentioned in a book alongside cases such as 1593 transported soldier legend/Gil Perez and The 1880 Mystery of David Lang.
@jose ramiro reynoso ruiz the frog boys is a group of five South Korean boys between the ages of 9 and 13 years old who were murdered on march 26 1991, to this day the case hasn't been solved but just look up the frog boys and there is a documentary about it and there is two parts to the video
On number 12, that reminded me of a science book that my mom had back then where they had a close up picture of an alien in the hospital. I remember that they failed to keep it alive and burried it in a grave yard. The picture actually has haunted me ever since I was a child and I still want to know what that book was called again, it was out sometime in the 2000's and was made by Nat Geo. If anybody knows what I'm talking about, please comment on this..
it's a fascinating mystery that i've been really interested in since I was a child as I live at Somerton Beach. I'm sure the mystery lady has the answers, as a nurse in Sydney she actually gave the same book to a soldier, though when contacted he still had his copy with all pages intact!
It doesn't help that they tend to repeat the same information in multiple videos. Considering this is top 20, I'm sure they talked about these maybe 5 times before?
If you guys want coverage of unsolved miseries with leading theories, I highly suggest checking out buzzfeed unsolved. (I prefer the Shane and Ryan version, you can find a compilation of it on yt)
@lygophile they could do an entire video just on that hotel she was found dead at. Murders and suicides (mainly suicides) going back almost a century including several unidentified victims.
That Max Headroom (meaning "maximum clearance" under bridges, entering tunnels and car parks, etc in the UK) is a weird one. And a pretty good tv show, starring Matt Frewer.
Apparently No 8 (Tamum shud) the "Somerton man" has been named as a Carl "Charles" Webb (not sure if it's Carl or Karl). Found via family genealogy they tested here in Australia. Born in Footscray, VIC in 1905 and apparently there's no details for him after 1945. Doesn't explain all the other questions around how he came to be where he was found, etc and it'll probably make everything much more boring and mundane! Coincidentally, I just finished watching a news piece about it just before watching this.
#4 Actually Romans, Greeks, Vikings, all reached the "New World", way before Columbus. There is ample proof. The thing is that unlike Columbus (and Isabella), they didn't have much "use" of it so far from their home lands and understanding of what exactly they found.
Number 13: The sleeping sickness, I knew about due to film “Awakenings” starring Robin Williams and Robert de Niro, great film, very surprised that Watchmojo didn’t use clips from film during this section.
There were influenza antigens (Spanish Flu) in encephalitis lethargica patients (Movie "Awakenings"). Both happened around the same time from 1916 through 1927. Neither that Flu strain nor encephalitis lethargica ever was seen again, suggesting a relationship between them. But that was over 100 years ago and science/medicine was so primitive compared to today.
I find it funny that one of the theories about the Voynich manuscript suggests that a bunch of monks got together and forced an alien to write it. What was the purpose or motivation for that? And why an alien of all beings?
That manuscript was either a prank from some 1500s dude with too much free time, or the delirium of a delusional yet extremely intellectually gifted and misunderstood person.
Theory: The green children of woolpit were children who suffered from methemoglobinemia. This is a condition that causes the skin to take on a blue color. I had a teacher back in the day who had it. The thing is, blue is a recently named and discovered color - when these kids were found it is likely that the color hadn’t been named yet. Perhaps they were perceived as green for that very reason.
There were a few I hadn't heard of... But I found one missing on that list: Jennifer Fairgate. They found her body in a hotel in Oslo in 1995, and until this day she remains undentified.
I honestly have 3 theories about the Voynich Manuscript 1. A guide to alchemy 2. A book that's meant to not be solved due to it being unimportant 3. A clever hoax made simply to confuse and frustrate scholars
There is the mystery of the TV commercial character constantly seen in the 1980s endorsing the world's most popular soft drink, then 40 years later having been "never heard of."
