The Mysterious: The Curse of Giles Corey
This month’s mystery sets us off on a month-long journey into witch-related topics. Now, you might be asking yourself - Why? Spooky season just wrapped up. Halloween is over. Why witches? Well, Thanksgiving is coming up. Thanksgiving, which was first celebrated by Puritan colonizers - and Puritan colonizers would go on to settle the infamous …
The Mysterious: Lewis Carroll the Ripper
For this month’s mystery, we are heading into a place where the literary world and the true crime world intersect. This is by far one of the most absurd and baffling theories concerning one of the biggest mysteries in the history of true crime. Many have come to terms with the fact that we may …
The Mysterious: The Philadelphia Experiment
This month’s mystery takes us back to the strange world of conspiracy theories. What we’ll be discussing today is perhaps the most gruesome and more enduring legends surrounding the United States Military.

The Mysterious: The Titanic Switch Theory
For this month’s mystery, we’re dipping our toes into the world of conspiracy theories. For this first venture into such a....widely varied (and often sinister) topic, I wanted to cover something that is not destructive and somewhat debunked. This month, we’ll look at whether the Titanic was actually the ship that sank on April 14, …

Who Were the Maya? We’re going …

The Mysterious: Kentucky Meat Shower
Before we get into this month’s mystery, I have to warn you all: this is a gross one. I strongly advise against eating while reading. Especially when we get into examining just what exactly fell from the sky on that strange day in Kentucky. Ready? Buckled in? Let’s explore the mystery of the Kentucky Meat …
The Mysterious: Mystery Hill in New Hampshire
Mystery Hill is often referred to as “America’s Stonehenge.” Why? I have absolutely no idea. Stonehenge is made up of giant monoliths that defy any attempts to find meaning. Mystery Hill is a series of short stone walls, stone structures, and an acre of granite with ruts dug into it. The similarity to Stonehenge ends …
