MYSTERY CASE#7:

The Devil's Triangle

The Bermuda Triangle is located in the western region of the North of Atlantic Ocean. The triangle is also termed to as Devil’s triangle, a name derived from the mysterious disappearance of people, ships and aircrafts under strange circumstances. Many people visit the region, hence it is ranked as the most visited geographical feature. Florida, Puerto Rico and Bermuda demarcate the vertices of Bermuda triangle, which spreads to less than one thousand miles on each side. The triangle has an area of about five hundred thousand square miles.

According to livescience.com most of the fateful accidents occur around the Florida Straits and Bahamas. Vincent Gaddis coined the term Bermuda Triangle in the 1964, in the Argosy magazine known as Men’s pulp. He asserted that aircrafts and ships disappeared in this triangle in a very strange manner. His argument was an echo of George X. Sands who had written about the unexplained accidents around the triangle in 1952. Later other authors like John Wallace wrote about the same mysterious triangle.

The most popular losses that the United States has experienced is the disappearance of the plane of Flight nineteen in December the year 1945, NC16002 plane in December the year 1948, SS Marine Sulphur Queen in 1963 and USS Cyclops in the year 1918. In all these cases disappearance, the planes and the ships have never been traced. This has been used to support the mystery of the Bermuda triangle, although the accidents might have been due to poor weather conditions or mechanical failure.

Flight 19

World famous cultures and scientists have over the years tried to explain the forces behind the Devil’s triangle mystery. Charles Berlitz, in his book he asserts that at the bottom of the sea lays a legendary city that used crystal energies to submerge the ships and aircrafts. Other theories suggested that there were extraterrestrial underwater aliens, who submerged ships and used the humans to carry out their research.

The scientists believed that the mystery is due to natural circumstances such as weather, hydrological or geological explanations. There is evidence that at the triangle, there is an enormous explosion of methane gas. The scientist asserts that if a surface vessel gets caught inside a large methane gas, it losses its ability to float, and submerge. If the bubble is so gigantic, it may possess high gravitational pull that attracts the aircraft toward it hence making it crash into the triangle. The ships and aircrafts may then ignite spontaneously and explode, produce little or no trace of it. Some scientist postulated that a subnormal magnetic or tidal waves exist at the triangle. This resulted to loss of electronic aid for navigation hence confusing the pilots. The plane then plummeted into the triangle.

Now you see them, Now you don't

"Fairies are invisible and inaudible like angels.but their magic sparkles in nature."

- Lynn Holland

Fairies had been part of our imaginations for centuries especially on children and had been tagged to stories called "fairy tales". It had been dominating for centuries past, for children they are cute and nice pixies but for adults they are cruel, nasty creatures that would kill you inside the forest.

According to livescience.com fairies are tiny, often beautiful human-like creatures (sometimes with wings) that appear in legends and folklore around the world. Fairies likely began as versions of pagan nature gods and goddesses, and thus they are often associated with the outdoors (especially forests), as well as magic and journeys.Depending on the region, fairies are said to live in woodland communities, underground kingdoms, or inhabit lakes, hills, or stone or grass circles — often along with centaurs, elves, ogres, gnomes and other such animals. Fairies come in many races and tribes, and are also said to vary in size and shape; though most are small, some change size and become man-size or larger if they choose.

Some villagers or travelers would offer foods or something for the "fairies" so that the creatures would return good weather and safe journey to them. However, many believe that fairies are also revengeful. They are the cause of accident and death encountering nature.

One of the famous fairy controversy that caught the attention of the world was the 1920 Cottingley fairies wherein Frances Griffiths and Elsie Wrights took pictures with fairies and Gnomes in Cottingley village. They  Spiritualists promoted them as proof of the existence of supernatural creatures, and despite criticism by skeptics, the pictures became among the most widely recognized photos in the world. It was only decades later, in the late 1970s, that the photos were definitively debunked. and they were gotten from the a book entitled  Princess Mary's Gift Book which was published in 1915. They were cut out pictures of fairies from a page of the book.

MYSTERY CASE#5:

The Girl on Fire

There been hundreds of document cases of human seemingly spontaneously bursting into flames from within over the past 300 years. Its very difficult to explain why the entire body can be burned to ashes without harming the room around it.

According to livescience.com , this phenomenon is called "spontaneous human combustion"  it has been described in many popular books on mysteries and the unexplained.

 You could be Katniss Everdeen of Hunger Games , the human torch of Fantastic Four or how would you like to be Mary Reeser the famous name when it comes to spontaneous human combustion.

 Awesome. 

Mary Reeser, a  67-year-old resident of St. Petersburg, Florida,spent the evening of July 1, 1951, in an unremarkable way, receiving visits from her son and a neighbor. At the time, Mary Resser was wearing a rayon nightgown, bedroom slippers and a robe. When they left her, everything in the apartment appeared normal.

The first sign of trouble was at 5:00 am. Mrs. Carpenter was awakened by the smell of smoke and, assuming it was a water pump in the garage that had been overheating, she turned the pump off and went back to sleep. 

       At 8:00 am, Mrs. Carpenter was awakened by a telegraph boy at her door; he had a telegraph for Mrs. Reeser. Mrs. Carpenter signed for the missive, and walked to Mrs. Reeser's room... but there was no answer to her knock. Mrs. Carpenter checked the doorknob; it was hot! Alarmed, Mrs. Carpenter ran outside to find some help. A pair of house painters working nearby rushed over to her aid, and, together, they managed to force open the door to Mrs. Reeser's apartment only to be met by a terrible blast of heat, evidence of a fire within. What they discovered inside the room defied belief. 

       The only portion of the apartment that was burned was the small corner in which sat the remains of Mary Reeser's easy chair... and of Mary Reeser herself. Of the chair, only charred coil springs remained. Of Mrs. Reeser, there was little more; and these remains baffled the firemen, police, and pathologists that examined them.  

       Mrs. Reeser's 170 pounds had been reduced to less than ten pounds of charred material. Only her left foot remained intact, still wearing a slipper, burnt off at the ankle but otherwise undamaged. Also found were her liver, now fused to a lump of vertebrae, and, stranger still, her skull... shrunk to the size of a baseball by the intense heat.
