The Cerne Giant
The chalk hills of southern England are renowned for a number of figures cut into the turf, mostly in the shape of horses. However, some of the figures are very different in nature, and Dorset’s Cerne Giant must surely count as the most remarkable.

The Nampa Doll
I grew up in Nampa, Idaho. It was a small town, set in a wide desert valley. It was pretty quiet, arguably even boring. Crime was low, winters were cold and long, and sugar beets were the crop of choice. We had neither much to brag about, nor much to be ashamed about. But we did have the Nampa Doll, an object that threatened to alter the world’s perception of history, and make everyone from curious third graders to college professors, scratch their heads in wonder.

The Two Books That Eerily Predicted The Sinking of The Titanic
According to Statista, at least 6 out of 10 people find it hard to believe in psychic abilities and the unknown. Majority of the time, any strange or eerie occurrence is dismissed as coincidence and there’s still no scientific fact to corroborate phenomenons like ghosts or the ability to speak to them. Neither is there any non-falsified scientific evidence that can predict your future accurately. Nor is there any technology that can take you back in time. But the famous case of the Titanic is so peculiar, that it comes as close to the proof of clairvoyance and the ability to predict the future as we might ever get.

ET Phone Home
Before I start writing this article can someone please get me my tinfoil hat? Thanks. Aliens are all around us and they have influenced the human race greatly. There are even different types of aliens that are described in ancient legends and many of these legends describe a connection between us and these alien races.

Beware of the elves
Home of the Elves. Picture from CTV News. Iceland. Rugged, isolated, otherworldly and perhaps one of the last living places where ethereal beings known as elves can still be found, unchanged and apparently thriving for hundreds of years. Well, according to recent studies, this is what at least 62% of the modern Icelandic population believes.

The Voynich Manuscript
The Voynich Manuscript is one of the stranger items held by the Beinecke Rare Books and Manuscripts library of Yale University. Physically, it is a tiny notebook comprising pages of text and illustrations, mainly of plants, but also including astronomical and astrological charts, recipes, and pictures of naked women. However, the text is in a language that nobody has ever been able to translate or decipher, which means that the origin and purpose of the manuscript are still shrouded in mystery ever since it first came to public attention before World War I.

The Woman Who Came Back From the Dead
British Egyptologist or Ancient Egyptian priestess? What happens when you wake up one day with the memories of somebody else? When you are consumed by the need to return home; you don’t know where home is, but you know that it’s not where you are… Historical mysteries are a dime a dozen, but none are quite as intriguing or as well documented than that of the case of Dorothy Eady.

The fall of Atlantis civilization
Since my journey to the world of history, the interest in the Atlantis civilization has increased over time. But, somehow I could not get the exact reasons for its vanishing event from the past without leaving any trace. The reason is that we don’t have any concrete evidence about the exact location of Atlantis and the information about its culture. Even, you will see that right now; we have a bunch of shallow assumptions which will never give us any chance to reach our conclusion. Rather, we are searching blindly through shallow convictions as well.

The Forgotten Mine of W.V.
In 1886 a loud explosion could be heard across the town of Newburg W.V., and a large cloud of smoke shot up almost 200 feet into the air above the town. The orrel mine had a disaster that caused many surrounding area's buildings to even take damage. Over 39 men and children where recorded dead, the true number is still not known due to unlisted immigrants. The youngest recorded death of the mine explosion is 12 year old William Timmons who was in charge of gate monitoring. During this time there where no child labor laws enforced so it was very common to see children working inside of mines. This disaster helped lead to the child labor laws that are enforced today. Strange deaths have also been tied into this mine Frank Laymire passed away in the explosion, his twin brother William Laymire who's brother was instituted at Weston's Trans-Allegheny Insane Asylum. He was never alerted of the accident and passed away after slitting his own throat according to records. Another strange death was that of Edward Edwards who drowned in the mine shaft after he somehow tripped and fell down a 160 foot drop in 1884. Below is one of the last known images captured of men entering the coal mine. We have to wonder is this the last time these men where photographed alive?
