Unsolved Mysteries {not about the show}

Dear jly88,

You should really read about a charming lady named Nanny Doss.

Here's something that I just found, bloody chilled my spine.

Basically a few ships out in the Philippines picked up a morse code message from somewhere further in the sea, it gone like this...

'' All officers including captain are dead, lying in chartroom and bridge. Possibly whole crew dead. ''

Then after a few moments on inaudible morse code, the message would go '' I die. ''

An American nearby vessel, the Silver Star decided to go and try to help the Ourang Medan, after about an hour of searching they came across the ship.

Failing to get any response from the crew and no signs of life from their ship, they decided to conduct a boarding party to try and search for anyone who may still be on the ship, when they got on the ship, the top deck was littered with corpses all in a similar position, there faces looked like as if they had just seen something awfully fighting, full of horror and agony, all of their arms stiff and there eyes wide open.

They also managed to find the captain, his head thumped dead on the desk, with his fingers laying on the telegraph, some versions of the story say that there was a Dog running around the top deck barking like mad, others say the Dog was dead in a similar position to the Men.

Finally they went to the lower deck to try and see if anyone else could be alive, they found big batches of corpses in the boiler room and one thing that disturbed them was that the temperature was quite chilly down there, even though it was a sweltering 40 odd Celsius outside.

After that they got of the ship as fast as they could, they tried to tow it back with them to a harbour, but after a few minutes noticed this steaming black smoke coming from underneath the ship, they let go off the tow and after a few seconds, the smoking Ourang Medan exploded and quickly sank in its remains.

Now that is quite a tale to tell at a campsite, lets just say that.

^ Most of the stuff on that list is junk, but there are some interesting true events, like a radio in an unknown location in the middle of Russia blurting out almost nothing but a constant buzzing sound since the 70s. ( Look up the 20th thing on the list )

You can still listen to it live on the web. Google it.

Was she the one who was nicknamed "The Giggling Granny" who poisoned all her husbands with arsenic to collect on their life insurance (think she might have even poisoned her own kids, if I remember correctly)? Yeah, she sounds like she was a real piece of work, to say the least.

Dear jly88,

Yes, that's her....she apparently started with her own son, when he was a little boy...

There is a period of about five years in her life when no one knows where she was, or what she was doing....no telling who or how many she may have poisoned during her 'lost years'.

What came first, the chicken or the egg?

they both evolved concurrently.

___________________________

many "mysteries" are simply inabilities to reconstruct the sequence of events that led to some phenomena (like how did they build the pyramids or the nazcar lines).

other mysteries are simply the inability to identify culprits in otherwise well understood trains of events (like who was jack the ripper or who was mona lisa).

one of the most intriguing mysteries in my mind is what happened on the mary celeste. it is rather eerie to consider.
