the closest thing I have personally is my dads cousin disapeared awhile ago and was never located.

I kind of have an 'unsolved mystery', but it's pretty common. My dad was adopted and we know nothing about his biological family. Since he was born and adopted out in Little Rock, AK in 1954, we doubt seriously we will ever know. His adoption records are sealed up tighter than Fort Knox.

Okay, curious if anyone has more. This could have been a good thread!

I think I've posted this once in a similar thread, but a guy I knew since kindergarten disappeared while co-piloting a survey plane over Guyana in 2008. They've never found a single thing, not even the plane.

ETA: Just another article that mentions him specifically.

I don't really have anything good.

Lots of supernatural stuff has happened, which I've posted a bit about on different threads here.

I have a cousin who, as an adult, decided to completely separate from his whole family and disappeared willingly. It's been decades, I never met him, and no one in the family has had contact with him. He had a mom and a sister still living when he left. I think he had an ex wife. I don't know if he left kids behind. His mom has passed away and his sister is now in her 70s.

Same here. An aunt distance herself from my mom's family after my great grandma died. She changed her number and everything. My uncle went to see her in the nursing home and she was so excited to have a visitor until he said who his parents were. She shut down :o Face changed and said, "get out" so odd.

I have a minor mystery. I want to know why in the world my 9 month old son thinks I'm the only person it's ok to vomit all over.

Our family legend/unsolved mystery:

My great grandmother immigrated to the US from Poland. Sometime in the early 1900s (before the days of telephones), she claimed that her mother, who lived in Poland, came to her in a dream. She dreamed that mother had died and wanted to tell her goodbye. She told my grandmother about the dream.

Several weeks later, my grandmother was with my great grandmother in the kitchen when they heard the mailman walking up the front steps to deliver the mail. She told my grandmother that the mailman was carrying the letter from Poland announcing that her mother had died. When they opened the mail, they learned she was right.

I have a minor mystery. I want to know why in the world my 9 month old son thinks I'm the only person it's ok to vomit all over.

Because 9 month olds are pretty much just drunken frat boys.

When they're wound up they sure can seem that way. :lol:

It comes from having watched the segments many, many times over the last 20+ years :crazy:

My late father was always a skeptic about any paranormal stuff (as I am), but I reacall that ever since I can remember , he would always tell a story about how he was doing a job once with a guy who claimed to be able to divine water.

Skeptical, Dad asked to borrow the guy's divining rod to see if he could use it. Dad always said that when he was given the rod, it almost immediately started twisting in his hands, to a point where he could not control it or stop it moving! :eek:

To the day he died, dad was never able to provide an explanation - other than it perhaps might have been some very, very elaborate trick with magnets ( though the divining rod was wooden!)

This happened when I was about 16 years old.

I was getting ready to take a shower and it was a cold morning before school. I turned on the water and had to wait a few minutes for it to warm up, many of you know what I mean.

Well, after a few minutes the water was sufficiently warm and I got in the shower. I noticed and I was annoyed that there was no soap in the shower. I climbed out and under sink was a cabinet where we kept a few new bars of soap.

I pulled out a brand new bar of soap. It was maybe 4 1/2 inches long and it was a green "Irish Spring" brand bar. Nothing unusual.

As I was getting into the shower I dropped the bar. I heard it hit the tub but it wasn't in the tub. Or outside. I shook out my clothes that were on the floor. I shook out the towels. I checked the wire rack hanging from the showerhead. I checked the sink and the toilet. I checked behind the toilet. I looked in the little trash can which only contained the wrapper from the same bar of soap.

I turned off the water and put on a towel and searched my bathroom high and low. I could have easily gotten a new bar of soap but it was almost obsessive for me to figure out where it went.

I looked every place I could imagine for a good 15 minutes. I never found that bar of soap. It was green/white and possibly has a large dent from the first drop. It was brand new and about 4 1/2 inches long and maybe an inch thick.

So yes, minor mystery but one I have thought about for about 15 years.

Ooohh...I have one like this. I minor mystery but I'm still at a loss to explain it. When I was a kid, I got a Jem doll for Christmas (truly outrageous!). I was obsessed with Jem, so I was psyched when I got the doll. My mom was too cheap to buy the little battery that made her earrings light up (see here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bjSP5ETjX9s)for a visual), so that part was kind of disappointing.

One day, I got mad at my little brother and threw my Jem doll on the ground...hard. All of a sudden, her earrings lit up and started blinking. No battery. I opened up the little hatch on her back where the battery was supposed to go. No battery. I switched the earrings on and off whenever I wanted for the better part of a year. No battery. I lost the doll, eventually. I wish I hadn't b/c it was clearly a magical Jem doll...or possessed by the devil...one of the two. :)

The fact that this thread has only been resurrected after 10 years in limbo is a mystery in itself! :eek:

True crime has always been fascinating to me, even when I was a child. I don't have any real reason as to why. Some of the UM cases I have forgotten over the years, but there are many that I have only seen a few times that I can remember a good portion of the details on.

When my uncle was alive, he told me about his biological father that went into the service and they never heard from him again.

I have a niece I have not seen in 7 years. (Long story about the mom and the dad (my brother).

In the early 1960s, my cousin came home covered in blood. His father asked him what happened. My cousin said he'd killed a chicken. His family didn't own chickens, but they decided not to question it because... Well, because that's my family. At any rate, a couple of days later my cousin left for Hollywood to become an actor. As far as anyone knows, that didn't pan out, but no one's heard from him since. See, a few days after he left, the body of a woman was found down the street from his house. She'd been killed with a hatchet a few days prior, i.e. the day he showed up covered in blood. My family has always assumed that he murdered her, of course. Apparently others thought so, too - until she died in 2004, my grandmother received regular calls from the FBI asking if she knew where my cousin was.

I've found a couple of arrest records for him post-disappearance, and one newspaper article describing how he hopped a train and damaged it. Nothing past 1965, though. So that's my mystery - what happened to my cousin, and did he murder that woman?

It's not a personal unsolved mystery, as I didn't know the person, but over a year ago there was a man went missing about 2 hours from me while on his boat fishing. Searchers found his boat, with his wallet, cell phone, and hat on the boat, but he was no where to be seen. They have searched the lake and have so far found nothing.
