I found this on the internet, though it was pritty cool.

this list comprises the most famous unsolved mysteries known to man that really defy rational explanation or are just outright strange.

1. Shroud of Turin [Wikipedia]

Sudarioface
The shroud of Turin is a linen cloth bearing the image of a man who had apparently died of crucifixion. Most Catholics consider it to be the burial shroud of Jesus Christ. It is currently held in the Cathedral of St John the Baptist in Turin, Italy. Despite many scientific investigations, no one has yet been able to explain how the image has been imprinted on the shroud and despite many attempts, no one has managed to replicate it. Radiocarbon tests date it to the middle ages, however apologists for the shroud believe it is incorrupt - and carbon dating can only date things which decay.


Prior to the middle ages, reports of the shroud exist as the Image of Edessa - reliably reported since at least the 4th century. In addition, another cloth (the Sudarium) known even from biblical times (John 20:7) exists which is said to have covered Christ’s head in the tomb. A 1999 study by Mark Guscin, a member of the multidisciplinary investigation team of the Spanish Center for Sindonology, investigated the relationship between the two cloths. Based on history, forensic pathology, blood chemistry (the Sudarium also is reported to have type AB blood stains), and stain patterns, he concluded that the two cloths covered the same head at two distinct, but close moments of time. Avinoam Danin (a researcher at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem) concurred with this analysis, adding that the pollen grains in the Sudarium match those of the shroud.

2. Mary Celeste [Wikipedia]

Mary Celeste 250203
Mary Celeste was launched in Nova Scotia in 1860. Her original name was “Amazon”. She was 103 ft overall displacing 280 tons and listed as a half-brig. Over the next 10 years she was involved in several accidents at sea and passed through a number of owners. Eventually she turned up at a New York salvage auction where she was purchased for $3,000. After extensive repairs she was put under American registry and renamed “Mary Celeste”.

The new captain of Mary Celeste was Benjamin Briggs, 37, a master with three previous commands. On November 7, 1872 the ship departed New York with Captain Briggs, his wife, young daughter and a crew of eight. The ship was loaded with 1700 barrels of raw American alcohol bound for Genoa, Italy. The captain, his family and crew were never seen again. The ship was found floating in the middle of the Strait of Gibraltar. There were no signs of struggle on board and all documents except the captain’s log were missing.

In early 1873, it was reported that two lifeboats grounded in Spain, one with a body and an American flag, the other containing five bodies. It has been alleged that these could have been the remains of the crew of the Mary Celeste. However, the bodies were apparently never identified.

3. The taos hum [Wikipedia]

399Px-Taosnmview
The ‘Taos Hum’ is a low-pitched sound heard in numerous places worldwide, especially in the USA, UK, and northern europe. It is usually heard only in quiet environments, and is often described as sounding like a distant diesel engine. Since it has proven indetectable by microphones or VLF antennae, its source and nature is still a mystery.

In 1997 Congress directed scientists and observers from some of the most prestigious research institutes in the nation to look into a strange low frequency noise heard by residents in and around the small town of Taos, New Mexico. For years those who had heard the noise, often described by them as a “hum”, had been looking for answers. To this day no one knows the cause of the hum.

4. Black Dahlia [Wikipedia]

Es1A
In 1947 the body of 22 year old Elizabeth Short was found in two pieces in a parking lot in Los Angeles. According to newspaper reports shortly after the murder, Short received the nickname “Black Dahlia” at a Long Beach drugstore in the summer of 1946, as a play on the then-current movie The Blue Dahlia. However, Los Angeles County district attorney investigators’ reports state the nickname was invented by newspaper reporters covering the murder. In either case, Short was not generally known as the “Black Dahlia” during her lifetime.

Many rumours and tales have spread about the Black Dahlia, and the investigation (one of the largest in LA history) never found the killer.

5. Comte de Saint Germain [Wikipedia]

Stgermainbw
The Count of St. Germain (allegedly died February 27, 1784) was a courtier, adventurer, inventor, amateur scientist, violinist, amateur composer, and a mysterious gentleman; he also displayed some skills with the practice of alchemy. He was known as ‘Der Wundermann’ — ‘The Wonderman’. He was a man whose origin was unknown and who disappeared without leaving a trace.

Since his death, various occult organizations have adopted him as a model figure or even as a powerful deity. In recent years several people have claimed to be the Count of St. Germain. (Note that St Germain was never regarded as a saint by the Roman Catholic Church - the “st.” before his name refers to his alleged home).

6. Voynich manuscript [Wikipedia]

542Px-Voynich Manuscript Bathtub2 Example 78R Cropped
The Voynich Manuscript is a medieval document written in an unknown script and in an unknown language. For over one hundred years people have tried to break the code to not avail. The overall impression given by the surviving leaves of the manuscript suggests that it was meant to serve as a pharmacopoeia or to address topics in medieval or early modern medicine. However, the puzzling details of illustrations have fueled many theories about the book’s origins, the contents of its text, and the purpose for which it was intended.

The document contains illustrations that suggest the book is in six parts: Herbal, Astronomical, Biological, Cosmological, Pharmaceutical, and recipes.

7. Jack the Ripper [Wikipedia]

Jacktheripper3
In the later half of 1888, London was terrorrised by a series of murders in the east end (largely in the Whitechapel area). The name Jack the Ripper was taken from a letter sent to a newspaper at the time by someone claiming to be the killer. The victims were typically prostitutes who had their throats cut and bodies mutilated. In some cases the bodies were discovered just minutes after the ripper had left the scene.

The police at the time had many suspects but could never find sufficient evidence to convict anyone. In modern times there has even been some speculation that Prince Albert Victor was the murderer. Even with modern police methods, no further light has been shed on the murders in recent times. To this day no one knows who the ripper was.

8. Bermuda Triangle [Wikipedia]

Bermudatriangle-1
The Bermuda triangle is an area of water in the North Atlantic Ocean in which a large number of planes and boats have gone missing in mysterious circumstances. Over the years many explanations have been put forward for the disappearances, including bad weather, alien abductions, time warps, and suspension of the laws of physics.

Although substantial documentation exists to show that many of the reports have been exaggerated, there is still no explanation for the unusually large number of disappearances in the area.

9. The Zodiac Killer [Wikipedia]

Zodiac-Killer-1
The Zodiac killer was active in Northern California for ten months in the late 1960s. He killed at least five people, and injured two. He comitted the first two murders with a pistol, just inside the Benecia border. In his second shooting in Vallejo, he attempted to kill two people, but one survived despite gunshots to the head and neck. 40 minutes later the police recieved an anonymous phone call from a man claiming to be their killer and admitting to the murders of the previous two victims. One month three letters were sent to Newspapers in California containing a cypher that the killer claimed would give them his name. They cypher was decrypted to read:

“I LIKE KILLING PEOPLE BECAUSE IT IS SO MUCH FUN IT IS MORE FUN THAN KILLING WILD GAME IN THE FORREST BECAUSE MAN IS THE MOST DANGEROUE ANAMAL OF ALL TO KILL SOMETHING GIVES ME THE MOST THRILLING EXPERENCE IT IS EVEN BETTER THAN GETTING YOUR ROCKS OFF WITH A GIRL THE BEST PART OF IT IS THAE WHEN I DIE I WILL BE REBORN IN PARADICE AND THEI HAVE KILLED WILL BECOME MY SLAVES I WILL NOT GIVE YOU MY NAME BECAUSE YOU WILL TRY TO SLOI DOWN OR ATOP MY COLLECTIOG OF SLAVES FOR MY AFTERLIFE EBEORIETEMETHHPITI” The last eighteen letters have not been decrypted.

While Arthur Leigh Allen was the prime suspect, all of the evidence was against him being the killer. To this day the Zodiac murders have not been solved.

10. The Babushka Lady [Wikipedia]

Blmuchmore
During the analysis of the film footage of the assasination of John F. Kennedy in 1963, a mysterious woman was spotted. She was wearing a brown overcoat and a scarf on her head (the scarf is the reason for her name as she wore it in a similar style to Russian grandmothers - also called babushkas). The woman appeared to be holding something in front of her face which is believed to be a camera. She appears in many photos of the scene. Even after the shooting when most people had fled the area, she remained in place and continued to film. Shortly after she is seen moving away to the East up Elm Street. The FBI publically requested that the woman come forward and give them the footage she shot but she never did.

In 1970 a woman called Beverly Oliver came forward and claimed to be the Babushka Woman, though her story contains many inconsistencies. She is generally regarded as a fraud. To this day, no one knows who the Babushka Woman is or what she was doing there. More unusual is her refusal to come forward to offer her evidence.

Thanks for the interesting read, Adam.

I was familiar with most of these, but there were some I didn't know.

I love a good mystery!

A little bit surprised to see that one but alright



Agreed. I only knew four out of the bunch.

5. Comte de Saint Germain.. I didn't know this one.. Thanks

______________



I love this mystery

I love the Zodiac! There was a series of murder/rapes shortly after the Zodiac stopped killing as the Zodiac. ( I believe that he continued to kill but changed his MO slightly to throw off athorities. ) These crimes occurred and in and around the Danville, Almo, Concord Walnut Creek area . Often the perp would break in durring the night and rape/kill the wife or female while the husband was forced to watch. I always believed the man dubbed The East Area Rapest was the Zodiac. The Zodiac wrote in one of his infamous letters to the news paper that if he wasn't caught that he would go on killing for ever and that he would simply change the way he did things. He said he would make his crimes look like suicide and accidents. There was also a theory that the UNA bomber was the Zodiac as well but that was proven false. I love that both the zodiac and Jack were in the top ten.

Thanks for the great list! Even though I'm familiar with most of them (except #10) I enjoyed reading your list.

yeah the bubushka lady is an interesting one, imagine her kids or somthing finding that footage and if it had some vary usefull info on it

I wasent aware of this one. hhmm intresting.

Seen as you guys like the first one of these i will post the second set from the same web site.






The Creation of Man [ Wikipedia | Amazon]

Michelangelo-Creation

This is probably one of the most well known and controversial of mysteries known to man at the moment. The basic mystery is where did we come from? Many people believe we were created by some kind of God, others believe were naturally came into being through the process of evolution, and some even believe we were put onto earth by aliens. Because there is no conclusive evidence for either argument, this subject remains our greatest mystery.

The concept of evolution states that through a series of adaptations and mutations from generation to generation, a creature can change dramatically over time. There are many arguments against evolution, mostly (in the West) from fundamentalist Christian bodies. The head of the largest Christian Church, Pope Benedict XVI, has recently said that evolution is not contrary to the teachings of the Church or a belief in God as long as it does not exclude God as the primary mover and organiser of the process.

The concept of creationism states that God made the Universe in the form in which it exists today. It attempts to explain away potential theological problems like dinosaurs, carbon dating, and the fossil record in general. Creationists generally believe the earth to be several thousand years old.

2. The Bimini Road [ Wikipedia | Amazon]

Bimrock

Everyone has heard the story of the lost city of Atlantis, but what about the Bimini Road? In 1968 an underwater rock formation was found near North Bimini Island in the Bahamas. It is considered by many to be naturally made, but because of the unusual arrangement of the stones, many believe it to be a part of the lost city of Atlantis (first spoken of by Plato).

Another curious element of this mystery is a prediction made in 1938 by Edgar Cayce: “A portion of the temples may yet be discovered under the slime of ages and sea water near Bimini… Expect it in ‘68 or ‘69 - not so far away.” In a more recent expidition, amateur archeologist Dr Greg Little discovered another row of rocks in the same formation directly below the first, leading him to believe that the road is actually the top of a wall or water dock.

One possible natural explanation is that the “road” is an example of tessellated pavement, a natural phenomenon. Concretions of shell and sand form hard sedimentary rock which over time fractures in straight lines and then at ninety degree angles. They are quite common and a popular tourist attraction on the island of Tasmania.

3. The Roanoke Colony [ Wikipedia | Amazon]

Map Virg

In 1584, Sir Walter Raleigh dispatched an expedition to the East Coast of North America as Queen Elizabeth I had given him permission to colonise Virginia. He returned from the trip with two American Indians and samples of animals and plants. Between 1585 and 1587, two groups of colonists were left on Roanoke Island (part of present day North Carolina) to establish their settlement.

Following fights with the local native tribes, the first colony were low on food and men to defend the settlement, so when Sir Francis Drake visited after a raid in the Carribean and offered to take them back to England, they accepted and left. In 1857 121 new colonists arrived and found the local natives (the Croatans) to be friendly. The first English child born in the Americas was the daughter of one of these colonists. The group tried to befriend some of the other tribes that the previous colonists had fought with which resulted in the killing of George Howe. The remaining members of the group convinced the leader to return to England to get help. The leader (John White) returned to England leaving behind ninety men, seventeen women, and eleven children.

When White returned in August 1590, the settlement was deserted. There were no signs of a struggle and no remains were found at all. The only clue was the word “Croatoan” carved into a post of the fort and “Cro” carved into a nearby tree. The settlement became known as the Lost Colony and no members of it were ever seen again. Some speculation exists today which suggests that the settlers left and merged with some of the nearby tribes. This is supported by the fact that many years later some of the tribes were practising Christianity and understood English.

4. Marfa lights [ Wikipedia | Amazon]

Marfa3

The Marfa lights are unexplained lights (called ghost lights) that have been appearing on Mitchell Flat east of Marfa, Texas. The first published account of the lights was given in 1957, but Robert Reed Ellison (born 1880) reported them to his family and accounts of their appearances were spread by word of mouth. There are no verifiable written reports from before the 1950s.

The lights are described as being the size of a basketball, floating in the air at around shoulder height. Colors are usually described as white, yellow, orange or red, but green and blue are sometimes reported. They usually travel laterally but have been seen to move rapidly in various directions. The lights sometimes appear in groups. Sightings are rare but there is a large amount of photographic and video evidence.

Skeptics generally consider the lights to be related to traffic passing on the nearby US Route 67, or to be electric by-products of the predominantly quartz hills in the area. Because they usually appear in private property with terrain that is difficult to travel over, there are almost no reports of people being able to get close to the lights.

5. Jimmy hoffa [ Wikipedia | Amazon]

Jimmy Riddle Hoffa

Jimmy Hoffa was an American labor leader, and criminal convict. As the president of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters from the mid-1950s to the mid-1960s, Hoffa wielded considerable influence. After his conviction, he served nearly a decade in prison. On July 30, 1975, Hoffa dissapeared from a parking lot in Detroit and was never seen again. He had been due to meet two Mafia leaders, Anthony “Tony Jack” Giacalone from Detroit and Anthony “Tony Pro” Provenzano from Union City, New Jersey and New York City.

According to Donald Frankos (a convicted Mob hitman), Hoffa was shot in the house of Giacalone and his body was then buried in the foundations of the Giants stadium. While that is the most popular belief, another mobster, Bill Bonanno, claimed that hoffa was shot and put in the trunk of a car that was then put through a car compactor.

No one will ever know the truth about Hoffa, but the MythBusters team dug in the part of the Giants stadium that is generally where Hoffa is considered to be buried and found nothing.

6. The Loch Ness Monster [ Wikipedia | Amazon]

Loch Ness 1 Lg

Loch Ness is the most voluminous fresh water lake in Great Britain. For centuries people have reported seeing a large creature living in the lake - the earliest account comes from the life of Saint Columba (565 AD). Although sightings of the creature on land around the loch reputedly date back to the sixteenth century, modern interest in the monster was sparked by a 22 July 1933 sighting, when Mr George Spicer and his wife saw ‘a most extraordinary form of animal’ cross the road in front of their car. They described the creature as having a large body (about 4 feet high and 25 feet long), and long, narrow neck, slightly thicker than an elephant’s trunk and as long as the 10-12 foot width of the road; the neck had a number of undulations in it. They saw no limbs because of a dip in the road obscuring the animal’s lower portion. It lurched across the road towards the loch some 20 yards away, leaving only a trail of broken undergrowth in its wake.

Not only has the Loch Ness Monster been photographed repeatedly, it has even been caught on videotape - as recently as 2007, and on sonar equipment. Unfortunately, however, the footage and photos are never clear enough to give a definite answer as to what the creature is. Some speculate that it may be a plesiosaur that survived the rest of the dinosaur population.

7. bigfoot [ Wikipedia | Amazon]

Bigfoot-1

Bigfoot, also known as the Sasquatch, is depicted as an ape-like man who inhabits forest areas of the pacific north-west and parts of the Canadian province of British Columbia. Over the years there have been many sightings and photographs of Bigfoot but no conclusive proof exists to verify his existence.

Most experts on the matter consider the Bigfoot legend to be a combination of folklore and hoaxes, but there are a number of authors and researchers who do believe that the stories could be true. There is some speculation that, like the Loch Ness monster, Bigfoot may be a living remnant of the time of the dinosaurs - specifically a Gigantopithecus blacki - a supersize ape. The earliest accounts of bigfoot are from 1924 though reports of a similar type of creature have appeared as early as the 1860s.

8. El Chupacabra [ Wikipedia | Amazon]

Pikczer

El Chupacabra (Goat Sucker) is mostly associated with Latin American communities in the USA, Mexico, and Puerto Rico (where it was first reported). It is supposedly a heavy creature, the size of a small bear, with a row of spines reaching from the neck to the base of the tail and it takes its name from the fact that it is supposed to attack animals and drink their blood - especially goats.

While the legend began around 1987, there are many similarities to the Vampire of Moca, the name given to an unknown creature to killed animals all over the small town of Moca in the 1970s. The vampire of Moca left the animals completely devoid of blood which had apparently been removed by a series of small circular cuts.

The most common description of Chupacabra is a lizard-like being, appearing to have leathery or scaly greenish-gray skin and sharp spines or quills running down its back. This form stands approximately 3 to 4 feet (1 to 1.2 m) high, and stands and hops in a similar fashion to a kangaroo. In at least one sighting, the creature hopped 20 feet (6 m). This variety is said to have a dog or panther-like nose and face, a forked tongue protruding from it, large fangs, and to hiss and screech when alarmed, as well as leave a sulfuric stench behind. When it screeches, some reports note that the chupacabra’s eyes glow an unusual red, then give the witnesses nausea. For some witnesses, it was seen with bat-like wings.

9. D. B Cooper [ Wikipedia | Amazon]

D.B.Cooper144W156 Insidesmall 112102-1

D. B. Cooper (aka “Dan Cooper”) is a pseudonym given to a notorious aircraft hijacker who, on November 24, 1971, after receiving a ransom payout of $200,000, leapt from the back of a Boeing 727 as it was flying over the Pacific Northwest somewhere over the southern Cascades.

Cooper has not been seen since and it is not known whether he survived the jump. In 1980, an eight year old boy found $5,800 of soggy $20 bills washed up on the banks of the Columbia river. The serial numbers matched those of the ransom money which had been noted to make it easier to track Cooper later.

Cooper escaped from the plane by jumping off the rear airstair with a parachute leading aviation authorities to add stricter measures about the design of planes to prevent it from happening again. In addition, this event caused airports to install metal detectors for the first time.

10. The Mothman [ Wikipedia | Amazon]

Mothman Drawing

Mothman is the name given to a strange creature reported in the Charleston and Point Pleasant areas of West Virginia between November 1966 and December 1967. The creature was sporadically reported to be seen before and after those dates, with some sightings as recent as 2007.

Most observers describe the Mothman as a winged man-sized creature with large reflective red eyes. It often appeared to have no head, with its eyes set into its chest. A number of hypotheses have been presented to explain eyewitness accounts, ranging from misidentification and coincidence to paranormal phenomena and conspiracy theories.

The Mothman was first spotted in 1926 by a young boy. At the same time, three men were digging a grave in a nearby graveyard when they saw a brown human shape with wings soaring out from behind trees. Both incidents were reported independently of each other. There have been numerous sightings of Mothman though no photographic evidence exists at all.

These are great, too, thanks for posting! Bimini really gets my imagination going.

I think Bigfoot is a Gigantopithecus since they are described basicially the same. The Gigantopithecus were alive the same time as homo erectus were. So it's possible They could still be around. If we have evolved from homo erectus' then maybe Gigantopithecus has evolved too. Maybe their so clever now that they can hide from humans which is why they are a rare sight.
And i beleive the same for loch ness monster. If it is a dinosaur, then surely it would have evolved too, so now they can hide from us to. Maybe they're scared we might kill them.

Also i think life didn't start on Earth but we did evolve on Earth. I think we came as micro organisms from a distant planet on a meteor or asteroid that landed on Earth. I also think that some of these microorganisms landed on other planets aswell So we would all be related somehow with some of the aliens.

Many believe Mothmans final act was when people saw a giant bat like thing jump from a mountain and crash through a bridge killing multiple people.

Great top 10.

I knew most of these mysteries but i never heard about the " Voynich Manuscript" so i searched the web and came across this website ,

http://www.voynich.nu/l_intro.html

its says everything you need to know about it

I also found this website that shows you the entire manuscript

http://beinecke.library.yale.edu/brbldl/Se...M&curpage=1

you will be Amazed

enjoy

I have merged both mysteries threads together as there is no need for two where one thread can do the job.

I couldn't find any of the stories on the net this morning but there's many stories about loud cannon like sounds booming on expeditions of many a voyager and pioneer back in the 1800's. There were many reports from different parts of the world. I wonder where the cannon booms and the taos Hum is comming from. I believe these sounds to be comming from unseen realms.

Mysterious women Films JFK Shooting Link

Wow ! I have never heard of this one before.

I love this kind of stuff i really gets my mind going

Saw this link of top 10 forgotten mysteries (only overlap seems to be the voynich manuscript) http://www.livescience.com/mysteries/top10...ysteries-1.html

The Indus valley civilization and carnac stones seem pretty interesting.

Hmm, heard of most of these, but a few are new. Shroud of Turin; yep, heard of it; interesting, but I haven't done much research on it. I've done a lot of research on the Mary Celeste; interesting case; but it's not the only ghost ship mystery; look into the mystery of Carroll A. Deering I've heard of the hum; it reminds me of something called the Guns of Vandomere (sp?). The Black Dahlia ... know of it, but haven't really looked into it. The Count of St. Germain, now there is something I have never heard of. If I recall there are quiet a few cases of people randomly appearing in Europe with no recollection of their past. Nor have I heard of the Voynich Manuscript. Sound interesting enough. I've heard of Jack the Ripper, even proposed a few theories about him being related to Spring-Heeled Jack (more for fun than anything else). Bermuda Triangle, now that's fun. I've done a ton of research on that and even had a few run-ins with it myself. About the Zodiac, just another set of unsolved murders, but interesting nonetheless. And I have never heard of the Babushka lady, but then again, I don't do assassination conspiracy theories. I don't really consider the creation of man a mystery, more like a scientific conundrum. The Bimini Road is interesting, but I have heard too many theories about the natural thoeries for me to believe that it is something supernatural or related to Atlantis. I grew up with the legend of the Lost Roanoke Colony (lived in Virginia, vacationed on the coast on which it happened). It's one that intrigues me greatly.


This is not an uncommon phenomena. I know of at least three or four other cases similar to this one. The Maco Lights, the Brown Mountain lights, and many more.

Never really paid much attention to Hoffa, but it will only be truely interesting if they find his body. Nessie and Sasquatch are nothing new to me; I'm a big cryptozoology geek. There is something out there; it just might not live up to everyone's expectations. I'm fairly convinced that el chupacabra is nothing more than imagination run rampant; it's no mystery. D. B. Cooper is fun because it involves money and lots of it still out there for the taking Yay lost treasure! Mothman is another cryptozoological enigma; I've heard a great deal about him and the Silver Bridge Collapse. One of the most interesting things is that it might not be an isolated incident. Numerous other flying monstrosities that precede a disaster have been reported around the world.


Mothman didn't crash through the bridge. According to some thoeries he caused the Silver Bridge collapse, and he was seen in the vicinity prior to the collapse. But he did not crash into the bridge.

adamhunterprice,

Thanks for the lists.
I too had heard of some of these, though the voynich manuscript and the Babushka lady were new and interesting.

The Black Dahlia case was solved, ironically by the killers son, Ret'd Detective Steve Hodel concludes his father Dr. George Hodel, killed Elizabeth Short (the Black Dahlia) in his book ' The Black Dahlia Avenger'. I remember wondering at the time I bought the book why 'Avenger' in the title, which became clear.

the El Chupacabra thing was on a unexplained-mysteries tv show.. i don't know if this website is related to it.. but.. it was.

yeah

Well human origin, Bimini road, Loch Ness, bigfoot, mothman are all not mysteries. Human origin and Bimini road are well studied and understood. Nessie, bigfoot and the mothman survive on conjecture and rumour.

Just wanted to add that the Bimini "Road" is far more well understood than Human origins. This is, of course, because one may - at any time - go and look at the Bimini "Road" and see it for what it is; a ho-hum nothing little beachrock formation the likes of which can be found all over the world, even on dry land.

if you ask me the babushka lady was a russian spy who came to take pictures and check out how good jfks security was [presumably so they could plan there own assassination] but by coincidence she was there for someone else to kuill him

Some trivial nonsense:

1. The Zodiac Killer and killings inspired Robert Hunter to write the song, "Dire Wolf," for the Grateful Dead.

2. The Black Dahlia murder is the context for 3 films: 'LA Confidential,' 'True Confessions,' and 'The Black Dahlia.'

I had never heard about the Babushka Lady. It is really interesting, I wonder what kind of pictures she got.

A few of them I've never heard of. The Babushka Lady is very intriguing. Thanks for the post...very interesting!

Adam, thank you for this post. It's interesting to read these highlights of times and places that carry such great mystery. Especially with the "Babushka Lady". I've NEVER heard of her until right now in reading your post! Where was I? I mean, I remember John F. Kennedy's assassination so well, even as I was only a year old when it happened, and I've learned everything about it over the years that I believe everyone else has learned, EXCEPT FOR THE "BABUSHKA LADY"! Oh my God!

I'd like to know what you put into the "Search Bar" to find these incidents and places?

That's a very interesting point! I mean, if Julia Childs could be a spy, why not the "Babushka Lady"?

Hi Harte,
Thanks for the reply.I will right away do it now itself. cheers..
