What is Mystery?

• Mystery is something that is difficult or

impossible to understand or explain.

• It can be a secret, riddle or a puzzle

hence needs intelligence in order to

reveal the unknown.

• There are lot of Mysteries around

the world. They can be from what

we see everyday around us.

Why do the young try to act so much

older than they are, but the older try

their best to look and feel young.

Why people with the most money

are the most unhappy, and people

with nothing much are the happiest.

Let us see some unsolved mysteries

of the world.

The Bermuda Triangle

• The Bermuda Triangle is a large

part of ocean in the North Atlantic

that has been the source of many

plain- and boat disappearances.

• A number of explanations have

been suggested over the years

ranging from; time warps, extreme

weather to alien abductions.

• There is substantial evidence to

show that many of the

disappearances have been

exaggerated, but even if those

were excluded from the total count,

the odds of vanishing into thin air

are higher in the Bermuda Triangle

than anywhere else.

• The Bermuda Triangle is still one

of the biggest unsolved mysteries

in the world.

The Loch Ness Monster• The Loch Ness Monster is a

legendary animal that supposedly

resides in the depths of Loch Ness,

a long narrow lake situated in rural

Scotland.

• Stories concerning the monster

date back to the 6th century A.D.

The region was in complete

isolation until a road was built

alongside the lake in 1933.

• Then large numbers of people

travelled through the region for the

very first time. Over the years

thousands have reported seeing

something in the lake. Most reports

depict a long neck surging from the

water with a small head of a

unknown creature.

The Zodiac Killer

• In the late 60s and early

70s, the Zodiac Killer

terrorized northern

California, murdering four

men and three women.

• The killer sent letters

containing four

cryptograms to the local

media. Of the four

cryptograms sent, only one

has been definitively

solved.

• Despite several people

coming forward over the

years claiming to know the

identity of the killer, the

murderer's identity is still

unknown.

The Bigfoot

• Bigfoot is world-

famous for scaring the

hikers and hunters in

North America.

Scientists consider

Sasquatch to be the

result of folklore and

misidentification.

However, many people

still believe these

humanoid creatures

exist around the

world, just like the

Yeti of the Himalayas.

Tamam Shud

• In December 1948, an

unidentified man was found

dead in Somerton Beach,

located in Adelaide,

Australia.

• Found in one of his pockets

was a piece of paper with

the words “Tamam Shud”

written on it. When the

words were translated they

meant “finished” or

“ended”.

• Although governments

around the world have tried

to identify the man his

identity has remained a

mystery.

Atlantis-the Lost city

• Atlantis is a legendary island

first mentioned in 350 BC by

Plato. He wrote about a

beautiful island in the Atlantic

Ocean that went under the

ocean waves in one day and

one night.

• For years people have been

looking for this mysterious lost

city. The exact location of the

lost city of Atlantis has been

questioned by many people.

• Some people think it's lost

somewhere in Central America

and some think its near Andes

mountains in Bolivia. However

its exact location has not been

found yet.

The Wow Signal

• On a summer night in 1977, a

signal was caught by a big

telescope and it seemed for a

short period of time that

human history is going to

change. The message was sent

from another world and lasted

for seventy seconds.

• The signal was actually shift of

letters to numbers and was so

intriguing that Ehman circled

the letters with red ink and

wrote “Wow” on it, since then

it is known as “The Wow”

signal.

• Many professionals and

astronauts tried to actually

find out the exact meaning of

that signal but did not succeed

and the signal has never been

found again.

Georgia Guidestones

• Also identified as the

American version of

Stonehenge, the Georgia

Guidestones located in

Elbert County are

shrouded in mystery,

although they were

erected only in 1979.

• Written on the walls are

10 “new commandments”

written in English,

Swahili, Hindi, Hebrew,

Arabic, China, Russia, and

Spanish although no one

is sure why or for whom

they were meant.

The Taulas Of Menorca

• The taulas are 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

taulas were erected by the

ancient inhabitants of the

island at some point after

2000 B.C., there is no

concrete evidence as to

why the structures were

built or why they are found

only on Menorca and not on

neighboring islands.

The Bouvet Island Lifeboat

• Lying deep in the South Atlantic,

Bouvet Island has been

described as among the most

isolated places on Earth.

• The nearest land mass is

Antarctica, more than 1,700 km

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,

wood, a drum, and a copper tank.

The boat was in a good

condition, but the expedition

party could find no trace of any

passengers.

Foo Fighters

• The term “foo fighters” was

applied to various UFO

sightings that occurred during

the Second World War. During

the war, fighter pilots and

warships noticed strange

lights in the sky and silver

objects that looked like discs

zipping overhead.

• In late 1942, a Royal Air Force

pilot was flying a Hurricane

fighter plane over France when

he noticed two strange-looking

lights flying toward his aircraft.

He assumed they were tracer

fire—until he realized that the

lights were actually following

him, repeating all the moves he

made while in the air.
