Procedural police shows on TV have made most of us addicted to researching and solving crimes. On every show like CSI or Law and Order, after 40 minutes of investigations, the bad guy is found and justice is promptly served.
Unfortunately, that doesn’t always happen in the real world. In fact, more often than not, things happen that police and the government can’t explain. Here are some of the most bizarre mysteries that still baffle us today.
SS Ourang Medan.
In June 1947, a ship traveling in the Strait of Malacca began sending distress signals to several ships in the area. The message said, “All officers including captain are dead, lying in chartroom and bridge. Possibly whole crew dead.” Then a pause before it concluded, “I die.”
An American Ship, the Silver Star, heard the message and went to investigate. Once aboard, they found the entire Ourang to be dead, each with a frozen expression of extreme fear on their faces. Their arms were extended as if reaching for something. As the Silver Star began towing the Ourang back to port, the bottom decks of the ghost ship caught on fire and they cut it loose just in time before the whole thing exploded. To this day, nobody knows what happened to the SS Ourang Meden, or if they do, they don’t want us to know.
Caroline Walter.
Tragedy struck Freiburg, Germany, in 1867 when Caroline Walker died at the tender age of 16. Her sister asked that a sculptor create a creepily accurate life-sized sculpture for her gravestone. For the past 148 years, someone has been putting the same bouquet of flowers underneath that sculpture’s arm.
YOGTZE-Fall.
Günther Stoll was a food engineer who, before his death in 1984, kept telling his wife that “they” were after him. She never believed him or even cared to know who “they” were. On the night of his death, he was with his wife before suddenly shouting, “Jetzt geht mir ein Licht auf!” (“Now I’ve got it!”) and writing YOGTZE on a chair. He got in his car and left.
Around 3am that night, his body was found in his Volkswagen, which was in a ditch just off the Autobahn. He was completely naked. Stranger still, the autopsy revealed he had been injured before the crash, and had been run over by another car in a different spot. His body must have been planted there. So many questions remain unanswered, not the least one being what does “YOGUTZE” mean?
Benedetto Supino, Human Torch.
In 1982, a young Bendetto Supino from Spain was reading a comic book when, all of a sudden, it burst into flames. Much like the heroes of his favorite comics, it seemed he had a special power. Unlike his heroes, though, he could not seem to control it. His sheets would spontaneously catch on fire as he slept and electronic devices ceased working when around him. Scientists still have no idea why this was happening.
The Dylatov Pass Incident.
In 1959, nine experienced hikers decided to brave the slopes of the Ural Mountains in Russia. They all died and their bodies were found in a very mysterious manor that baffles investigators to this day. The hikers’ tent was torn from the inside and barefooted footprints were found in the snow trailing off into the woods, where two of the bodies were found only in their underwear.
Searchers found three more corpses in the snow between the camp and where the other two were found. Two months later, the final four were found deep in a ravine some 75 meters away, wearing the clothing of the other corpses.
Will we ever find the answers to these mysteries? Probably not. Some of these stories would take a whole season of CSI to finally crack, possibly more.
Anyone else having problems with this site? Every 5 minutes or so some stupid app opens up, normally when im in the process of reading or watching something interesting. Its getting really annoying, anybod have an ideas how to stop it? Dont think my ipad has any viruses on it, this is the only site it happens. HELP!!!!
I use add blocker without it its just not worth it on this site its all about money
If you’re using Mozilla Firefox, get the extension called NoScript. NoScript enables you to determine which sites can execute apps inside your browser. Once you do that, give permanent permission only to beforeitsnews.com and b4in.net, nothing else (like facebook, twitter, adip.ly, adblade.com, openx.net, which only slow down your browser). NoScript remembers your decisions, so once you go back to the same site it will block all the superfluous apps.
A good idea is to also get EUsing Registry Cleaner and clean the registry anytime your machine starts acting sluggish. You don’t have to do a reboot or anything. When you get the software and run it, just hit the skip button every time and you never have to “register” or pay anything.
If all else fails, do Ctrl Alt Delete and kill firefox.exe and plugin-container.ui. Then restart it using the “restore previous session” option and you’ll get all your windows and tabs back. If even that fails, then just restart your whole machine.
Never mind “YOGUTZE” . What the heck is a ‘Food Engineer’?

Now, back to those procedural police shows, where the bad guy is always caught (perhaps with a little collateral damage) and justice is always served.
This is the subtlety of well-produced propaganda. We all know how justice is served:
The police arrest the first person they can find that even remotely resembles what they think the perp looked like.
Next, the state-hired attorneys argue with the state’s attorney, decide how to divvy up the money the prison corporation is offering them, and how much the judge should get. Then they threaten, torture and coerce their “suspect” into a plea bargain (his guilt or innocence no longer matters at this point) and he is carted off to jail.
Unless the perp is a cop, a congressman, a banker, a rich man’s football-player son, or any number of important representatives of civilized society, in which case, the whole thing will be remanded to a so-called grand jury, where no cause or reason for trial of this person will be found. The perp will go home, money will change hands, and all involved will sign gag orders for a price.
You got that right!
The Dylatov incident was most interesting. Another book was recently wrote about it. But the author would not reveal exactly what his conclusion was on the George Noory show so nobody bought his book.
Apparently nobody likes a money grubber.
