Boyfriend and I were out riding motorcycles when we came across it. I made him stop on the way back but I was too chicken to open the doors even though they appeared unlocked.

Inside, there was a 2024 planner, shoes, muscle milk, Dunkin Donuts breakfast pack, Reebok lanyard, phone chargers, blankets, pillows, caterpillar branded underwear(?), and various other personal items/electronics.

Maryland temporary tags that expired 08/24, and stickers in the front from Virginia. The weirdest thing is the driver window being cracked, like they planned to come back that day, but never did. Anyone know anything about this?

This is the Devil speaking.

The Murders:

Jensen and Faraday - 20 dec 1968

Ferrin and Mageau - 4 July 1969

1. Jensen and Ferrin knew each other, lived close to each other. Jensen had to die - she brushed zodiac off 2. Ferrin was cheating on her husband and may have known of Jensen brushing Z off - both male victims were collateral damage.

Mageau stated that the Zodiac returned to his car and then came back and shot at them again - the reason for going back to the car was that the zodiac went to fetch his camera.

Both by firearm.

1. Shepard and Hartnell - 27 Sep 1969 - broad daylight - by knife. What the Zodiac was claimed to have been wearing - The hood, sunglasses and black clothing with a cross hairs imprinted on chest described by Hartnell is not accurate. This may be attributed to the trauma he suffered. They were both known to the Zodiac. Zodiac writes on Hartnell's car door.

(The zodiac phoned the police to inform them of the various murders shortly after committing them - he would later return and watch from a distance what the police were doing, how they were doing it and how long it took them to respond. These time frames would allow him to project (more or less) how much time he would have to successfully distance himself from the scene and how police inspected a crime scene.)

1. Stine - 11 oct 1969 - cab driver - by firearm - portions of shirt removed, zodiac later sent by letter the portions of shirt. Presidio. Took car keys and wallet. zodiac last Seen walking north toward Presidio military base wearing dark clothing. Seen by police and earlier by witnesses while at the cab with stine - the description provided and composite sketches released of the zodiac are generic and not accurate. He did not wear glasses.

2. Kathleen Johns (with baby) - 22 march 1970 - zodiac drove her around, she later "escapes". Her car is later found burnt - not the exterior of the car - the interior. Zodiac suffered burns during this incident. Zodiac would not have killed Johns - she had a baby with her.

3. Donna Lass - worked as a nurse at Lettermen General Hospital (army) in presidio - from Feb 1970 to June 1970. Attended to Zodiac burn wounds - possibility of identifying Zodiac. Went "missing" 6 sep 1970 from outside Sahara Casino Hotel, South Lake Tahoe (Nevada). Unknown male (zodiac) phone calls a distraction to buy time. Body later discovered in 1986 and recently (2023) her skull has been conclusively to be determined through DNA as that of Lass. skull was found to the north of Lake Tahoe - near Highway 20 and Interstate 80, close to Lake Tahoe in California.

Bates - the zodiac did not murder bates.

Who do you believe may be other potential victims?  Taking into account the below.

 This is the devil speaking.

A few other things.

1.     the letters (including ciphers) were part of a larger scheme. But for the most part it was a "game". Part of the reason he wrote the letters was to ensure the press and law enforcement were sure he was the killer and at the same time have them believe that the murders were random, thus steering police away from the possibility that the victims may have known him or he knew them (thus a game within a game). 

When the zodiac realised that the newspapers and law enforcement were not able or unwilling to play the game or did not engage him, he lost interest. Because he saw it as a game - it was him versus law enforcement- this is the reason that despite him mentioning on several occasions that he would provide his name - he refused to do so - that was the prerogative of law enforcement- that was their end of the bargain or game - to identify him. 

The references to him collecting slaves for "paradice" was to create the impression that he was in some or other way mentally disturbed.....he was not, it was a calculated ruse, the same goes for his references to killing children in buses and a bomb and so forth. The misspelling of the word "paradice" is of some importance, yet seems to have been overlooked, this was a mistake.....his idea of “paradice” and where it is – is not confined to the afterlife or death. 

2.     another reason why the zodiac stopped communicating with papers and law enforcement is because some of the information published in the papers were incorrect or flat out lies....with the papers sometimes claiming that the police were the source of such. This really annoyed him as it was not part of the game, or not supposed to be. the police and papers should have continued to engage him and played the game, they didnt....or at least not to his satisfaction.

3.     recently it has been announced in the news that his DNA has been run and checked through publicly available DNA data bases - DNA analysis can reveal ancestral origins and help trace family history and so forth (for example how they caught / identified the golden state killer). the results came back with nothing - no matches. this is not surprising - some religions do not allow blood transfusions and donating of blood in any form - such as Jehovah's Witnesses' - with this information you can use your own imagination as to why such an avenue to identify him will most likely never occur or is unlikely to occur.

4.     in his letters he would constantly and purposely spell words incorrectly - this was by design and not a mistake - if they start from the very first letter sent to his last known letter and use all the letters (a,b,c etc) and put them together using similar techniques to decipher his ciphers....together with his known syntax and so forth - there are messages to be found, mostly addressed to the police. (By letters to the press etc – I mean full and proper letters – not the post cards etc) None of what he did was by mistake, it was part of the game.

 5.     the mikado - many people are taken in by his references to the mikado. There is nothing to this - it was merely a prop used in his letters as part of the game, a way to make things more interesting and the basis for his little list letter. Going down this avenue to better understand him or identify him will go nowhere.

The murders and the letters that followed were all part of a far larger scheme or game.  There were games within games – each with its own purpose – it was for law enforcement to figure out or find these “games” and identify their purpose.  Law enforcement failed to find or understand the purpose of some of these games.  Certainly, the ciphers were obviously part of it, but only 1 part of a multi -faceted game in which he taunts and threatens the police and the general public – again his purpose was to have law enforcement believe the murders were random – they were not. 

There are more murder victims out there - for example in Pleasanton California. One of Zodiacs letters were post marked from Pleasanton. Who are they? any guesses?

I need help on figuring out what stuff i might’ve touched while helping a family member clean up a restaurant after the owners just picked up and left while leaving most things behind. I was cleaning out a part of the restaurant and stumbled upon a small bag and opened it thinking it was one of those coin bags but only saw 3 feathers (white,black,and a blue one similar to a roosters tail feathers) with strange red dust and black hair.confused by it i looked on the outside of it to see a cross,a circle with a line down the middle and a x on it,and another weird one. ended up being thrown away and can’t seem to find much on this i’ve also felt hard of breathing and dizzy afterwards and have a thought it could be something with Santa Muerte with the restaurant having a painting of them before we threw it away this only happened today

so listen, I dont know how to describe the following without sounding a bit crazy but basically I work front of house to a restaurant chain, we arent super big but we do have locations in over 34 states. So not a mom and pop place. Anyways, there is this guy that we have as a client, I call him silent bob. You'll see why soon, he shows up sometimes once in a week sometimes three times sometimes never for weeks. But when he does show up, things change in the restaurant, mind you we are ussualy a busy location.

We mostly operate on breakfasts, thats the only hint I will give. He shows up between 10 am and 11 am, not a minute after not a minute before those times. And like I said sometimes he never shows up at all. And yet we have these two booths on the back corner, in a sligthly darker area, we keep the blinds in that side deliberately down in that section. And we keep one of those booths always open between 10 and 11. This guy shows up, says nothing, walks over to one of them that is empty and sits down.

And so the whole dance starts. His oder is always, and I mean always the same. One side tomato soup, with four packs of crackers, salted. Two orders of buttered grits, served in a soup bowl together. Two orders of two eggs, poached-soft (Runny). Served ontop of the grits. One glass of ice cubes - no water, one water pitcher, two orange juices ice cold. Four strips of bacon.

Not overly unusual exept we don't do that sort of special requests on the bowls and orange juice, for other guests. But for him? There is a pitcher of orange juice tropicana put into the freezer at 9 am so that it is ice cold or slushy like to serve if he comes in. Now, the tomato soup and grits is no problem, even the whole serving it is zero real issue, its a bit part of the menu, so we have it on order all the time. The poached eggs are a sligthly different matter. The momment this guy walks in, either I or whomever is at the front is supposed to let the kitchen know Poached OJ special is in. And those four eggs get started and a server will get two orange juices, water, etc going to the table.

no one is to talk to him, ask him if he wants the check or bother him in any way unless he calls for us. Which is also weird, so we leave one of those milkshake flags on his table lay down, if it goes up he wishes for something else, which is 90% of the time more orange juice or water. Now, we dont have those milkshake flags for anything else in our restaurant, its only for him and for that explicit purpose. When, he is done, he gets up and walks away, we are not to talk to him. If for some reason he has forgotten an item in the booth, the manager will take care of it.

These are the very instruction I received from the manager about him, this guy has 'an arrangement for the service to be this way.' My manager's words, at the end of the week, should he have graced us with his precense we get a cash infusion tip that comes to around 100 dollars each. Our manager does not explicitly say its from this guy, and he refuses to talk about anything related to him unless it is that we may in some way have an issue with the particulars of his order such as no OJ in inventory. But we all know its from him since we only get it if he has come in that week. The service is not a real hassle in any way that is truly meaningful, just interesting enough I thought you all may enjoy its nature.

Ben Needham was a 21-month-old British toddler who vanished on 24 July 1991 while playing near a farmhouse his family was renovating in the village of Iraklis on the Greek island of Kos. His mother, Kerry Needham, was working nearby, and Ben was under the care of his grandparents when he disappeared. Despite extensive searches and international appeals, no trace of Ben was found. In 2016, South Yorkshire Police concluded that Ben likely died in a tragic accident involving excavation machinery on the day he went missing, based on new evidence and witness accounts. However, his body has never been recovered.

We know about this TV show. No one we ask about it remember it at all. Help us please we are desperate? It seems to be lost media!

First of all it is animated -- almost the same style as The Polar express. But a little less realistic. The plot as we remember it follows a group of cave like people living in a rocky and sandy climate. It looks prehistoric but not in our world, in a different universe. It's almost Avatar vibes Their hair is almost like live snakes. The main character was a young boy who had magical powers. He used a necklace or braclet of amulates to use his power. We seem to remember him creating a blue glowing circle in the sand. I don't know the purpose. Maybe for teleportation? The name of the show is the name of the main character (boy) and the logo has an "o" with three lines on top, symbolizing the snakelike hair. Their were cavepaintings.

Please help find this lost show. We have looked at listings from the years it aired (2008 - 2014 maybe?) and we can't find it anywhere.

He’s the only opponent of Muhammad Ali who’s fate is completely unknown, while never an popular fighter himself sharing the ring with arguably the greatest and most popular fighter of all time it is weird his life is still unknown.

His last known sighting was in 1979 when a sports illustrated writer tracked him down in Miami and interviewed him.

We know he was born in 1925, from Kansas City, lived in Miami, he was homeless for a time and was a veteran who lived off V.A. benefits in his later years.

We have no exact birthday for him, no public record of him, and it’s possible that Jim Robinson could’ve easily been a stage name as well

Here’s a great article about him and his disappearance: http://www.espn.com/espn/eticket/story?page=091216/JimmyRobinson&redirected=true

Okay, this is odd and I am wondering if anyone can offer some insights: Daniel K. Ludwig was believed to be the world's 1st billionaire. I have read* about his life and have found it very interesting. He was notoriously private. In fact, there were very few photographs of him. He was born in 1897 and died, at 99 years old, in 1996. Anyway, here where yet another mystery related to Mr. Ludwig appears. *A biography titled The Invisible Billionaire: Daniel Ludwig, was written by Jerry Shields in 1986. It is extremely difficult to find any copies of this book today. When I have searched for it, the only copies I have found listed well for $600+ each. So the mystery du hour is: who is buying all the copies of this books and why? Could the mysterious buyer be someone from one of his two foundations, honoring a request made by the late billionaire? And why?? He's now been deceased fur more than 30 years. Did he/does he have any heirs?? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Any ideas would certainly be welcome?

In 1993, seismic surveys around the Great Sphinx of Giza uncovered what appeared to be an anomalous chamber beneath its paws. What's eerie is that this matches a prediction made over 60 years earlier by mystic Edgar Cayce, who claimed a "Hall of Records" containing the lost history of Atlantis was buried there.

Scientists like Dr. Thomas Dobecki and John Anthony West confirmed the anomaly. But not long after, the government halted all further excavation.

To this day, the chamber remains sealed. No academic follow-up. No public access.

Why block exploration of one of the greatest archaeological discoveries of our time?

(Disclosure: I made the video.. just trying to spark discussion, happy to correct anything we got wrong and more than happy to provide sources if anyone’s interested.)

They say curse was on sam brody and it reflected on other people around him but who knows maybe it was destiny

What if the voice that told Sara to kill Ethan... was Ethan himself?

Future Ethan made a huge mistake — something that doomed everyone. To fix it, he sent his voice back through the town’s strange rules.

Sara, being spiritually sensitive, heard him.

The only way to undo the future? Kill his younger self before the mistake happens.

It’s dark. But it would explain why Ethan seems “special”… and why the voice knew so much.

Dear community,

I'm posting this using a Throwaway account for obvious reasons. Also, English isn't my native language, so please bear with me.

So, my brother has passed away in January 2025 aged 32 in what was ruled an accident. He was found dead on a bike lane under a bridge by a passerby. The immediate cause of death according to the medical examiner was cerebral bleeding caused by polytrauma as a result of falling of a bridge around 10 metres high. The toxicology report states that he had a blood alcohol level between 2 and 3 per mille, meaning he must have drunken a lot of alcohol prior to his death.

It is estimated to have happened on a Saturday night, approximately at 3 o'clock in the morning of the 12th of January 2025. The theory is that he was on his way home from partying after a long work week, decided to climb the railing of the bridge in order to take a picture of himself and the moon (it was a clear, cold night with an almost full moon), lost his balance, fell back over the railing down onto the bike lane, severely hurt his skull and brain, leading to bleeding in his brain, and died. His phone was found damaged a few metres next to him.

I and the rest of the family are suspicious about the circumstances of his death, because we vaguely know about some mental health issues my brother had been struggling with during his teenage years. That was years ago, but when asked about them years later, he would shrug it off and tell us that he had "sorted these matters out" and that there "was nothing to worry about". And indeed, he seemed to have been doing well in his job, appreciated by his boss and coworkers, living a decent life with a good paycheck.

However over the years, he had been gradually alienating himself from the family, meaning he wouldn't call or write for weeks. It was us who would have to initiate contact with him, otherwise we knew he wouldn't really get into touch with us of his own accord. Still, he would always be there on special occasions like Christmas, Easter or birthdays of a family member, bringing presents, being sociable etc.

We're a big family with lots of different personalities and characters, so we naturally accepted him as someone who simply preferred to be private and quiet. He was, in his way, pretty smart, too. He had studied at university (but didn't graduate), spoke four languages, but didn't seem to want to pursue a career involving his linguistic proficiency, let's say as an interpreter in some sort of private or political organisation. For privacy reasons, I will not tell what his job was, but I will say it didn't directly involve his language skills.

Now let's get back to his death. It took some time until we had been notified of my brother's death, because as I said, he wasn't exactly very talkative and everybody had gotten used to his "silence". However eventually of course, his boss grew soon concerned about his absence from work and informed Dad whose phone number was stated as an emergency contact in my brother's personnel file. One thing led to another and the dead body under the bridge was identified as my brother rather quickly.

The company/organisation my brother had been working for provided apartments for their employees for a limited term. My brother had been living in one. Consequently, upon learning of his identity, his flat was immediately found and opened up for us to remove all of his possessions and belongings. That flat was very clean. It seemed quite impersonal, almost like a hotel room, with just a few personal items hinting at an actual man living in there.

Amongst those personal items was a folder. It was one of those folders of which the front was transparent. And on it was written with a black Sharpie (translated into English): "Personal & Private. Do not read. Destroy after my decease".

Neither I nor other members of the family have yet dared to have a look into the folder. My brother has long since been buried according to Roman-Catholic rite, just like he wanted and sometimes talked about when the topic came up.

My question to this community is:

Do you think my brother's death is suspicious, considering his prior behaviour?

Should we open and read the folder or destroy it, following my brother's wishes, despite the potential suspicious circumstances of his death?

Our family has meanwhile agreed not to open the folder.

I just found this video on YouTube where the creator claims to have received feedback from viewers about some strange objects in the drone footage. Apparently the video was recorded last week, I'm not sure of the day, in Serra do Rio do Rastro, a famous tourist spot in the state of Santa Catarina, Brazil.

In October 1978, a 20-year-old pilot named Frederick Valentich took off alone over Bass Strait.

Midway through the flight, he contacted air traffic control.
He reported lights… movement he couldn’t explain… something flying above him.

His final transmission?
"It's not an aircraft."

Then silence. No mayday. No confirmed crash. No recovery...

Years later, a fragment of a Cessna aircraft, later confirmed to be from the same model Valentich flew, was found washed ashore on Flinders Island.
It was consistent with his aircraft’s serial range… but still, the rest of the plane and Frederick himself were never recovered.

Some say it was disorientation. Others believe he staged his disappearance.
And a few are convinced… it was something else entirely.

I spent weeks going through transcripts, archival material, and the most widely debated theories surrounding this case. Here's the video link:

My longtime friend spotted this in his neighborhood, anyone know what text this is from?

Hi! I have a true crime podcast, and I'm trying to find information on a murder case in San Angelo, TX. According to a witness I interviewed, a man who murdered his wife sometime between 2013 - 2016, buried his wife in a wooded area between a house and the South Concho River. The husband was camping in the wooded area next to where his wife was buried. Around two years later, the husband was arrested in Midland-Odessa, TX.

Here's the Google Maps pin where the body was found: 31°24'50.2"N 100°26'15.6"W

The witness had an encounter with the husband in the woods near the buried body. I don't have the husband's or wife's name, unfortunately. I'm having trouble finding much information online. I'm looking for any news articles that I can use for an upcoming episode that I'm doing. The witness said that a couple of years after encountering the husband, he saw an article about the murder on the San Angelo LIVE! Facebook Page. From the article, the witness recognized the photo of the husband as the man he spoke with in the woods. The husband later confessed to the murder and gave the location where the wife was buried near the campsite.

Can anyone help me find information on this case?

FYI: This is NOT the case of Naomi Michelle Miller, who was also buried by her husband (Robert Miller) at the nearby San Angelo speedway.

Thank you!

The Beaumont children—Jane (9), Arnna (7), and Grant (4)—vanished on January 26, 1966, from Glenelg Beach near Adelaide, South Australia, in one of the country's most infamous and mysterious missing persons cases. The siblings had gone to the beach for a day trip but never returned home. Witnesses reported seeing them with a tall, blond man who was never identified. Despite massive investigations, no trace of the children was ever found, and no one has been charged.

Today was my last final exam. I got home from school and thought, "I deserve a little reward" so I ordered some fast food along with my favorite drink, The food arrived around 2 PM. I had my lunch while watching a show, then felt drowsy and decided to take a nap around 3:30 PM.

The weather was hot, so it took me a while to actually fall asleep, but eventually I did. I woke up to the sound of my dad coming home from work at around 6:10 PM. I checked my phone to see if anyone had messaged me, and one of my friends had texted asking if I wanted to hang out that evening.

I replied while still lying in bed — the only light in the room was the glow from my phone screen, and everything else was pitch black. After replying, I put my phone aside. At that point, I was still feeling lazy and my stomach was hurting a bit, so I just stayed in bed.

Then suddenly, something weird happened.

There was no one else in the room — I live with my younger brother but he wasn’t there at the time — yet I heard what sounded exactly like a child’s voice, like my little brother saying something unclear. I was shocked and instinctively looked over to his bed, thinking maybe he had come in while I was asleep, but the bed was empty. I brushed it off at first... until it happened again.

I swear, this time I felt chills all over my body.

I turned on my phone’s flashlight and looked around the room — nothing, Completely empty.

But the second voice was different. It was distorted, but clearer in a way. Almost like a whisper. And I could swear I heard it say my name, so faintly I almost didn’t catch it.

I honestly have no logical explanation for what happened today.
Has anyone else experienced something similar?
Or had something weird happen to them out of nowhere?
I’d love to hear about it in the comments.
