Sleeping sickness - this happened to my great uncle when he was 4. When he came out of it, he was permanently 4/5 years old developmentally. He outlived his siblings, and was very much loved & spoiled by all of us until he passed away. Even though he was 89yo, it was like losing a child in our extended family. He was a sweet soul who radiated with kindness.
Was going to post the same thing. it's not resurrection (which is bringing the dead back to life), but reincarnation (being born again into a different body).
There is an odd connection between two of these stories. The lighthouse with the missing men inspired the 1977 Doctor Who story, "Horror of Fang Rock," in which the Fourth Doctor and his Companion Leela are the only survivors of an event at a lighthouse. That story was playing on a PBS station which was the second station interrupted by the Max Headroom event, and in fact, a couple of seconds of it can be seen in this video before Max pops in.
anyone who's seen horrible histories knows about the Children of Woolpit. They were immigrants from another country who's parents supposedly died on the journey. The kids then lived off of whatever they found in the forest for god knows how long and it likely pigmented their skin a greenish colour. The boy died of an illness which was unknown to the people of Woolpit and the girl went on to be a maid.
Yes! The "Scary Stories" sketch on them (Season 2 Episode 3) explains it just as you said. For those who aren't familiar with Horrible Histories, it's streaming on Hulu. As a history teacher, I obviously highly recommend it!
I live in Woolpit and it's quite a strange thing to happen but apparently they were from a Belgium cloth mill and the dyes they used ended up dying their skin but at least that's what everyone says round here
I read the “unidentified” guy didn’t wash ashore, he was propped up against a sea wall. Wouldn’t the slip of paper have fallen apart if it had been submerged in ocean water?
Have you ever heard of the mystery of random self combustion, there’s a number of people who just random lit on fire inside their torso and burned to death. It’s really crazy
@Jarrod Fuchs, et al, I think that spontaneous human combustion happens when a chemical reaction happens that makes humans go kaboom, just like the chemical reactions in bombs. Also, if you want proof of that being real, just look at giant whale carcasses that explode as they compose, and/or are helped to be forced to explode by human means. I also would not doubt that a natural variant of something that is chemically related to nitroglycerin, and/or methamphetamine, and/or some other type of explosive material, somehow forms in the body. However, I am neither a scientist, nor am I a doctor, but, if I were one of those things, then I definitely would not rule them out, though.
Unsolved mysteries did an episode on this!Ever since then I’ve held on to the fear that one day, I too may spontaneously combust…it’s been like 25 years since that episode aired😅
Yes and there' s still debate on why it happens and I believe scientists have their therioes on it why it happens but there are still no solid answers to it.

The Children of Woolpit were Belgians orphans that had lost their parents and lived in the woods. The only food they had to eat were the wild plants in the forest and this turned their skin green. The boy died of malnutrition, and the girl lived to be a domestic servant of the local knight, and died of old age. In English history they taught that the villagers eventually found someone who spoke Flemish, and also found the bodies of their parents. The parents were also human. This story is referred in "Essential British History" and "Horrible Histories". The Horrible histories version is more fun.

- The Pied Piper of Hamelin: the earliest written history of the city of Hamelin begins with this line: "It has been 100 years since our children vanished". This was written in 1384. Whatever happened to the children was traumatic enough to have been recorded in writing and in the form of a stained-glass window in the town's church. An oral account of the incident was written down supposedly in the late 1200s, but the book was lost in the 17th century. To this day, nothing is known of the fate of Hamelin's children beyond the Grimm Brothers' fairy tale. - The Kelly Farmhouse Incident: this is perhaps the most credible evidence of a potentential alien encounter with multiple witnesses, independently coaberated accounts from these witnesses, and physical evidence.

The Philadelphia experiment is one of my favourite. Talks about a navy American shp that was said to be able to be cloaked invisible and teleported from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to Norfolk, Virginia. During one of the trials (I think) the whole ship disappeared. it appeared a few days later but the crew was either dead (by unknown causes) or was infused with the walls of the ship. Theories say it moved to another dimension where it had some extraterrestrial fight and then teleported back. There are claims of people years and years later, encountering three men in WWII navy suits. They appeared out of thin air in the middle of the room for a few seconds, only to disappear without a trace a few seconds later
Having grown up in the area and spending time at the Spook Light, there is one phenomenon that most researchers don't mention: a lot of the "witnesses" were drunk. That was a big time party road in the 80's when I was there as it was the same in the 50's when my mother and uncle where there too. My uncle actually saw it, but my mom never did and neither did I. But oh, the memories I made of all the other stuff that went on out there!
In fact, the problem with a lot of "mysteries", especially but not only from a distant past, is that there is nothing but "accounts" and "it is said" and "reportedly". In those cases I didn't even listen to the rest of the story. The kind of mystery I prefer, the one that gives me goosebumps, is not the "it is said that one morning a huge pink rock was seen hanging in the air and then disappeared" type, but rather the "there is this small blank hole in a perfectly solid, widely documented rock and nobody can explain how it was made" type.
The Somerton Man is one mystery I’d love to see solved. My grandmother lived at Somerton at the time so it holds a certain amount of extra fascination for me.
While officials have yet to confirm, reports have just come out that the identity of the Somerton Man has been discovered! Give it a google, they are saying his name was Carl Webb, an electrical engineer from Melbourne. The BBC has an article on it.

That Brazil one is really interesting, Brazil was discovered by accident. A Portuguese sailor was attempting to round the horn and got blown off course. We have evidence that Carthaginian ships sailed those waters. It’s not crazy to suspect an ancient or medieval mariner did the same thing
So the simplest and most likely explanation is that he was just an ordinary guy with no crime precedings (hence his fingerprints were unrecorded), no documents with him and no dear ones who would have reported him missing, who happened to commit suicide. It makes sense after all.
the USS cyclops likely sank due to methane bubbles from the uniquely-formed underwater volcanoes in the bermuda. basically when a ship passes over a stream of bubbles in the water, it suddenly loses buoyancy and sinks like a rock. so a ship that is having no issues sailing through fair weather would appear to just vanish without a trace.
@jose ramiro reynoso ruiz the frog boys is a group of five South Korean boys between the ages of 9 and 13 years old who were murdered on march 26 1991, to this day the case hasn't been solved but just look up the frog boys and there is a documentary about it and there is two parts to the video
I've heard of all of these. However, the Max Headroom thing is no big mystery. The actor that did the character was in a short lived TV series for awhile. He also appeared on MTV for a while. The " highjacking" was just a stunt pulled off by the TV station to create an illusion that their programming had been interrupted by an unknown source. It turns out that a few bored TV technical persons actually did it. Today we would call them hackers.
Those “spook lights” exist in random areas throughout the Ozark Mountains. Not just in the areas mentioned here. I’ve seen them on several occasions & it’s definitely not due to headlights. Because they can be seen in areas too far from highways for that to be feasible. Plus, they can stay steady in place for indefinite periods of time & then suddenly move away & disappear.
A year late... but couldn't people have just driven cars to certain spots and sat there with the car on? Maybe brought fog lights with them? Sounds incredibly stupid, but I've heard- and seen- far dumber things.
@@MLPIceberg No. I don’t believe so. Where I’ve seen them are in forested areas where there aren’t roads. However, if it had been headlights, you’d be able to see the beams. There weren’t any beams. Just little balls of light. And it wasn’t where the light was hitting something. They’d hover in the air & then float away. I don’t know what they are. I can’t explain them.
Some of my favorite mysteries/mysterious people include: The Isdal Woman D.B. Cooper Poe Toaster Kaspar Hauser Jack the Ripper Man in the Iron Mask Man of the Hole Perseus (spy) Fulcanelli Jerome of Sandy Cove Tarrare Wolf Messing Babushka Lady Leatherman (vagabond)
I've actually heard about Benjamin Bathurst. Eerie stuff. I've heard several theories, some of them going as far as teleportation/space-time travel/displacement. I've heard him mentioned in a book alongside cases such as 1593 transported soldier legend/Gil Perez and The 1880 Mystery of David Lang.
@lygophile they could do an entire video just on that hotel she was found dead at. Murders and suicides (mainly suicides) going back almost a century including several unidentified victims.
it's a fascinating mystery that i've been really interested in since I was a child as I live at Somerton Beach. I'm sure the mystery lady has the answers, as a nurse in Sydney she actually gave the same book to a soldier, though when contacted he still had his copy with all pages intact!
That Max Headroom (meaning "maximum clearance" under bridges, entering tunnels and car parks, etc in the UK) is a weird one. And a pretty good tv show, starring Matt Frewer.
If you guys want coverage of unsolved miseries with leading theories, I highly suggest checking out buzzfeed unsolved. (I prefer the Shane and Ryan version, you can find a compilation of it on yt)
On number 12, that reminded me of a science book that my mom had back then where they had a close up picture of an alien in the hospital. I remember that they failed to keep it alive and burried it in a grave yard. The picture actually has haunted me ever since I was a child and I still want to know what that book was called again, it was out sometime in the 2000's and was made by Nat Geo. If anybody knows what I'm talking about, please comment on this..
It doesn't help that they tend to repeat the same information in multiple videos. Considering this is top 20, I'm sure they talked about these maybe 5 times before?
Apparently No 8 (Tamum shud) the "Somerton man" has been named as a Carl "Charles" Webb (not sure if it's Carl or Karl). Found via family genealogy they tested here in Australia. Born in Footscray, VIC in 1905 and apparently there's no details for him after 1945. Doesn't explain all the other questions around how he came to be where he was found, etc and it'll probably make everything much more boring and mundane! Coincidentally, I just finished watching a news piece about it just before watching this.
Number 13: The sleeping sickness, I knew about due to film “Awakenings” starring Robin Williams and Robert de Niro, great film, very surprised that Watchmojo didn’t use clips from film during this section.
There were influenza antigens (Spanish Flu) in encephalitis lethargica patients (Movie "Awakenings"). Both happened around the same time from 1916 through 1927. Neither that Flu strain nor encephalitis lethargica ever was seen again, suggesting a relationship between them. But that was over 100 years ago and science/medicine was so primitive compared to today.
#4 Actually Romans, Greeks, Vikings, all reached the "New World", way before Columbus. There is ample proof. The thing is that unlike Columbus (and Isabella), they didn't have much "use" of it so far from their home lands and understanding of what exactly they found.
I find it funny that one of the theories about the Voynich manuscript suggests that a bunch of monks got together and forced an alien to write it. What was the purpose or motivation for that? And why an alien of all beings?
That manuscript was either a prank from some 1500s dude with too much free time, or the delirium of a delusional yet extremely intellectually gifted and misunderstood person.
There were a few I hadn't heard of... But I found one missing on that list: Jennifer Fairgate. They found her body in a hotel in Oslo in 1995, and until this day she remains undentified.
Theory: The green children of woolpit were children who suffered from methemoglobinemia. This is a condition that causes the skin to take on a blue color. I had a teacher back in the day who had it. The thing is, blue is a recently named and discovered color - when these kids were found it is likely that the color hadn’t been named yet. Perhaps they were perceived as green for that very reason.
I honestly have 3 theories about the Voynich Manuscript 1. A guide to alchemy 2. A book that's meant to not be solved due to it being unimportant 3. A clever hoax made simply to confuse and frustrate scholars

There is the mystery of the TV commercial character constantly seen in the 1980s endorsing the world's most popular soft drink, then 40 years later having been "never heard of."
The "sleeping sickness" was the after effects of Spanish flu, or H1N1. Long-term effects A 2006 study in the Journal of Political Economy found that "cohorts in utero during the pandemic displayed reduced educational attainment, increased rates of physical disability, lower income, lower socioeconomic status, and higher transfer payments received compared with other birth cohorts."[256] A 2018 study found that the pandemic reduced educational attainment in populations.[257] The flu has also been linked to the outbreak of encephalitis lethargica in the 1920s

So the simplest and most likely explanation is that he was just an ordinary guy with no crime precedings (hence his fingerprints were unrecorded), no documents with him and no dear ones who would have reported him missing, who happened to commit suicide. It makes sense after all.
the USS cyclops likely sank due to methane bubbles from the uniquely-formed underwater volcanoes in the bermuda. basically when a ship passes over a stream of bubbles in the water, it suddenly loses buoyancy and sinks like a rock. so a ship that is having no issues sailing through fair weather would appear to just vanish without a trace.
On the Taman Shud case, he didn't wash up in the beach. He was found kind of laying against the wall.
I especially like the one where there tripping on shrooms and can't stop dancing.
I'm surprised no one talks about the Frog boys and the Dyatlov Pass incident
@jose ramiro reynoso ruiz the frog boys is a group of five South Korean boys between the ages of 9 and 13 years old who were murdered on march 26 1991, to this day the case hasn't been solved but just look up the frog boys and there is a documentary about it and there is two parts to the video
Well it did say mysteries you haven't heard of and the dyatlov incident is pretty well known
I didn’t know frog boys but I’m very familiar with Dyatlov Pass. I was hoping it’d be on here
Do you watch Grazy Grace?
Dyatlov Pass has been done death
I've heard of all of these. However, the Max Headroom thing is no big mystery. The actor that did the character was in a short lived TV series for awhile. He also appeared on MTV for a while. The " highjacking" was just a stunt pulled off by the TV station to create an illusion that their programming had been interrupted by an unknown source. It turns out that a few bored TV technical persons actually did it. Today we would call them hackers.
Interesting and informative yet very freaking creepy and disturbing
I've definitely heard of the Overtoun Bridge, Tamum Shud, Max Headroom and Voynisch Manuscript.
Finally, someone talks about The Big Grey Man!
Those “spook lights” exist in random areas throughout the Ozark Mountains. Not just in the areas mentioned here. I’ve seen them on several occasions & it’s definitely not due to headlights. Because they can be seen in areas too far from highways for that to be feasible. Plus, they can stay steady in place for indefinite periods of time & then suddenly move away & disappear.
I watched them from GA from 2017-2018/2019 before it disappeared
A year late... but couldn't people have just driven cars to certain spots and sat there with the car on? Maybe brought fog lights with them? Sounds incredibly stupid, but I've heard- and seen- far dumber things.
@@MLPIceberg No. I don’t believe so. Where I’ve seen them are in forested areas where there aren’t roads. However, if it had been headlights, you’d be able to see the beams. There weren’t any beams. Just little balls of light. And it wasn’t where the light was hitting something. They’d hover in the air & then float away. I don’t know what they are. I can’t explain them.
Me - wanna study for exams
TH-cam - we won't let him
the greatest mystery of our time is where to get un-biased news
Associated Press (AP) is still pretty good.
Some of my favorite mysteries/mysterious people include:
The Isdal Woman
D.B. Cooper
Poe Toaster
Kaspar Hauser
Jack the Ripper
Man in the Iron Mask
Man of the Hole
Perseus (spy)
Fulcanelli
Jerome of Sandy Cove
Tarrare
Wolf Messing
Babushka Lady
Leatherman (vagabond)
D. B. Cooper is solved, it's Charles Westmoreland.
I've actually heard about Benjamin Bathurst. Eerie stuff. I've heard several theories, some of them going as far as teleportation/space-time travel/displacement. I've heard him mentioned in a book alongside cases such as 1593 transported soldier legend/Gil Perez and The 1880 Mystery of David Lang.
This should be " mysteries you've already heard of "
I was just thinking that I have seen Simon Whistler videos about nearly all of these.
I Know Right
For real
I love WatchMojo but they’ve done most of these mysteries in their previous videos
Love the Golden Girls reference for #5 🤣
So less "Mysteries You've Never Heard Of" more "Popular Mysteries Amongst the Unresolved Mysteries Community"
@lygophile they could do an entire video just on that hotel she was found dead at. Murders and suicides (mainly suicides) going back almost a century including several unidentified victims.
In the Taman Shud case, the body was found on the beach. It was not washed up.
it's a fascinating mystery that i've been really interested in since I was a child as I live at Somerton Beach. I'm sure the mystery lady has the answers, as a nurse in Sydney she actually gave the same book to a soldier, though when contacted he still had his copy with all pages intact!
omg,,, i remember that max headrum shit. i was watching tv when it happened and even as a kid we found it creepy as hell.
That Max Headroom (meaning "maximum clearance" under bridges, entering tunnels and car parks, etc in the UK) is a weird one. And a pretty good tv show, starring Matt Frewer.
Yo, Sleeping Sickness is like a bad case of sleep paralysis.
If you guys want coverage of unsolved miseries with leading theories, I highly suggest checking out buzzfeed unsolved. (I prefer the Shane and Ryan version, you can find a compilation of it on yt)
On number 12, that reminded me of a science book that my mom had back then where they had a close up picture of an alien in the hospital. I remember that they failed to keep it alive and burried it in a grave yard. The picture actually has haunted me ever since I was a child and I still want to know what that book was called again, it was out sometime in the 2000's and was made by Nat Geo. If anybody knows what I'm talking about, please comment on this..
Watchmojo always makes these daring claims that they are going to tell me something I never heard of and they usually fail. Today was no differnt.
It doesn't help that they tend to repeat the same information in multiple videos. Considering this is top 20, I'm sure they talked about these maybe 5 times before?
And yet you keep following them so they win. 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
It's a mystery how they keep doing that!
Why do you watch it then?
Watch Mojo: ...you've never heard of.
Me, a complete paranormal nerd: Has heard of all of them.
I'm a paranermal nord.
Good for you
I'VE ACTUALLY HEARD OF MOST OF THIS MYSTERIES BECAUSE OF WATCHMOJO LOL
My missing keys mystery, they in the pocket of the coat I'm wearing, all the while looking for my glasses that are on top of my head.......
Apparently No 8 (Tamum shud) the "Somerton man" has been named as a Carl "Charles" Webb (not sure if it's Carl or Karl). Found via family genealogy they tested here in Australia. Born in Footscray, VIC in 1905 and apparently there's no details for him after 1945. Doesn't explain all the other questions around how he came to be where he was found, etc and it'll probably make everything much more boring and mundane! Coincidentally, I just finished watching a news piece about it just before watching this.
Number 13: The sleeping sickness, I knew about due to film “Awakenings” starring Robin Williams and Robert de Niro, great film, very surprised that Watchmojo didn’t use clips from film during this section.
Worth watching & learning thanks 💖
Merry Christmas everyone ⛄🎅
Our World is a Mystery since things happened without explanation or even science does not explain
Liiike what
#19 is the "ghost light" 😆
I had heard of seven of these.
There were influenza antigens (Spanish Flu) in encephalitis lethargica patients (Movie "Awakenings"). Both happened around the same time from 1916 through 1927. Neither that Flu strain nor encephalitis lethargica ever was seen again, suggesting a relationship between them. But that was over 100 years ago and science/medicine was so primitive compared to today.
“It doesn’t even live here” 😂😂
#4 Actually Romans, Greeks, Vikings, all reached the "New World", way before Columbus. There is ample proof.
The thing is that unlike Columbus (and Isabella), they didn't have much "use" of it so far from their home lands and understanding of what exactly they found.
One idea for the dog bridge: why not install plexiglass panels on the bridge to prevent dogs from jumping off to their deaths?
That would ruin the fun
Or stop taking dogs there?
@@pablobob4759 Um... you doin' ok bud?
@@pablobob4759 But it would save many dog's lives.
@@AxtroLeaf yea hun xxx
How do you name a vessel for transportation "the cyclops" and not expect something weird to happen
I'd like to believe that the case about the twins is the souls of the deceased children returning back to their parents.
A very interesting video !!! Loved it !!
I find it funny that one of the theories about the Voynich manuscript suggests that a bunch of monks got together and forced an alien to write it. What was the purpose or motivation for that? And why an alien of all beings?
😂
That manuscript was either a prank from some 1500s dude with too much free time, or the delirium of a delusional yet extremely intellectually gifted and misunderstood person.
LOL, the way you said "COUNTing doown"
"Mysteries you've never heard of" 1/2 of them have already been mentioned on this channel
There were a few I hadn't heard of... But I found one missing on that list: Jennifer Fairgate. They found her body in a hotel in Oslo in 1995, and until this day she remains undentified.
This should just be called top 20 mysteries that everyone has heard of
I think you also could have included the Malaysia Airlines airplane that disappeared!! That has blown my mind ever since it happened!
Anyone else know like half of these or just me?
I had heard of seven of them.
@@Supasmartguy exactly what I’m saying but I like how they went in depth on them
I knew 6
🙋♀️
Love it :) keep it up
Hooves? Moonshiners used to wear cow hoof shoes..
Theory:
The green children of woolpit were children who suffered from methemoglobinemia. This is a condition that causes the skin to take on a blue color. I had a teacher back in the day who had it. The thing is, blue is a recently named and discovered color - when these kids were found it is likely that the color hadn’t been named yet. Perhaps they were perceived as green for that very reason.
I'm surprised they didn't call the sky green and the grass blue...
The Voynich Manuscript has been decoded. Yesh!
And? Please don't keep us hanging, what did they discover?
I honestly have 3 theories about the Voynich Manuscript
1. A guide to alchemy
2. A book that's meant to not be solved due to it being unimportant
3. A clever hoax made simply to confuse and frustrate scholars
Actually the sleeping sickness was solved. It was discovered that it was linked to the Spanish Flu of 1918.
Spanish flu was caused by a vaccine and the wearing of masks. People who didn't do either didn't get sick
@@chrishartwig5230 lmao. How can a vaccine cause a virus that started before anyone even took the vaccine? the vaccine and masks helped tremendously and this video even shows people back in the days wearing masks:.you people won’t listen to the experts but will still go to the experts to save your life once you contract said sickness…ffs y’all are desperate to be oppressed
That blimp pulled a Mary-Celeste.
The Aurora, TX event was the inspiration for the movie "Cowboys vs. Aliens".
Interesting
Zenna Henderson also used it as the inspiration for her "The People" series of stories.
There is the mystery of the TV commercial character constantly seen in the 1980s endorsing the world's most popular soft drink, then 40 years later having been "never heard of."
Look up the Mandela Effect
ive heard of the max headroom hijack bc for some reason its in like 5000 watchmojo videos
The "sleeping sickness" was the after effects of Spanish flu, or H1N1. Long-term effects
A 2006 study in the Journal of Political Economy found that "cohorts in utero during the pandemic displayed reduced educational attainment, increased rates of physical disability, lower income, lower socioeconomic status, and higher transfer payments received compared with other birth cohorts."[256] A 2018 study found that the pandemic reduced educational attainment in populations.[257] The flu has also been linked to the outbreak of encephalitis lethargica in the 1920s
Finally a mystery, booyah
Early gang
Yeah omg I love this video
Love this channel. Do a top 10 80s songs or hair bands. Please
I have insomnia, I’d kill for some sleeping sickness right now.
Mystery creates wonder, and wonder is the basis of man's desire to understand. Mystery abounds where we seek answers the most.
Nice
Why tf would you walk your dog on the dog possession suicide bridge?? They even said some dogs jumped twice!!! Lol like what?? 🤣🤣🤣
Great work Watch Mojo!
6:09 this is what happens when you lock up the dream lord for 70 years. 😉😂
Thought of that too!
@@toshirodragon I’m sorry. I had to. I started reading Sandman 7 months ago and I’ve been hooked ever since! 🤣
