I am very glad to see a mysteries section to the forum :) I love the topic as it is by definition to do with stuff that is literally just a total mystery. No-one can explain it! I get a chill down my spine when I read about them. Be great to see some posted here. These are my favs:
One that has always intrigued me is the disappearance of Benjamin Bathurst.
Bathurst was a British diplomat who, in the winter of 1809, went out to inspect his coach, ‘walked around the horses’, and vanished, supposedly in full view of astonished onlookers. Bathurst's companion watched as the diplomat stepped over to the front of the coach to examine to horses - and simply vanished without a trace. There has literally been no explanation to this account - it is an unexplained mystery.
There are so many accounts of unexplained disappearances besides this one. Another I have always found quite chilling was the case of a student vanishing in a forest. On December 1, 1946, an 18-year-old student named Paula Welden vanished while taking a walk. Welden was walking along the Long Trail into Glastenbury Mountain. She was seen by a middle-aged couple that was strolling about 100 yards behind her. They lost sight of her when she followed the trail around a rocky outcropping, but when they rounded the outcropping themselves, she was nowhere to be seen. Welden has not been seen nor heard from since.
Individuals vanishing is one thing but there is an account of a whole village of 2,000 men, women and children just ceasing to be. In November, 1930, a fur trapper named Joe Labelle made his way on snow shoes to an Eskimo village on the shores of Lake Anjikuni in northern Canada. Labelle was familiar with the village, which he knew as a thriving fishing community of about 2,000 residents. When he arrived, however, the village was deserted. All of the huts and storehouses were vacant. He found one smoldering fire on which there was a pot of blackened stew. Labelle notified the authorities and an investigation was begun, and which turned up some bizarre findings: no footprints of any of the residents were found, if they had vacated the village; all of the Eskimos' sled dogs were found buried under a 12-foot-high snow drift - they had all starved to death; all of the Eskimos' food and provisions were found undisturbed in their huts. And there was one last unnerving discovery: the Eskimos' ancestral graves had been emptied.
I feel these accounts all relate to the same thing - some kind of dimension shift. The circumstances need to be right and there is clearly a chance that surroundings and many other factors can all come together to somehow shift you out of this realm.
