There are a number of strange and mysterious events from around the world that continue to baffle experts. Here are five of the most terrifying and unsolved Odd News mysteries to get you in the spooky spirit.
1. The Vanishing of Flight 370
In 2014, Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 disappeared without a trace while flying from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing. Despite an extensive search effort, no wreckage or debris was ever found. Theories range from a hijacking to a UFO abduction, but the truth remains unknown. Maybe the aliens just wanted a joy ride?
2. The Chupacabra Attack
In 2007, a farmer in Texas claimed to have captured a strange, hairless creature that had been killing his livestock. The creature, which resembled a cross between a dog and a reptile, quickly became known as the “Chupacabra.” Despite being analyzed and DNA testing, the creature’s origins remain a mystery. Maybe it was a genetic experiment gone wrong!
3. The Mystery of the Dyatlov Pass Incident
In 1959, a group of experienced hikers in Russia’s Ural Mountains died under mysterious circumstances. Their tent was ripped open from the inside, they fled on foot in freezing temperatures, and some were found with severe internal injuries. The cause of their deaths caused by something they saw or encountered remains unknown. Maybe they stumbled across Putin’s secret bunker?
4. The Wandering Stones of Death Valley
In California’s Death Valley, there is a phenomenon of rocks seemingly moving on their own, leaving long trails behind them in the desert floor. Scientists have long studied the phenomenon, and while some say it’s caused by wind and ice, there is still no definitive explanation. Maybe the rocks have developed sentience?
5. The Haunted Cecil Hotel
Located in Los Angeles, the Cecil Hotel has a long history of violence, suicides, and mysterious deaths. Most notably, in 2013, a Canadian woman named Elisa Lam was found dead in a water tank on the hotel’s roof after she had been reported missing for several weeks. The bizarre footage of her acting strangely in the hotel’s elevator before her disappearance only adds to the eerie nature of the hotel. Maybe the ghosts just wanted to party with her?
