Interesting observation, Kchoo. Reminds me of the story of The Lost Colony which I learned about as a child in history class.

Roanoke Colony - Wikipedia

The Roanoke Island Colony in North Carolina disappeared mysteriously in 1585 leaving no note behind. The only clue found at the scene was the word "Croatan" carved in a plank. I suppose when you're in panic mode worrying about your survival you're less inclined to think about leaving notes for posterity.

Hi Sheltie, I was wondering if somewhere on the thread that 'Roanoke' would be mentioned... after all it is one of the 'real-life-mystery-genre's' preeminent cases and therefore well worthy of a $ to solve. :Whistle:

Being a more civilized kind of person in being of English origin,.. :Tongue: ...unlike your good self I did not here about this splendid mystery in any history class at school. But instead I had to find it for myself in one of those brilliant magazines that I used to spend my pocket money on in those days. And to say that I found it an interesting case would be an understatement. And so of course just like any likeminded lad that had a great penchant for 'the unusual' I was greedy for more information on the mystery and whenever I saw the name Roanoke in any publishing, I had to have it. But of course however the case is presented, the basic question still has not been definitively answered and all that any of us have is conjecture. And from my own personal standpoint, I find the more sensational suggestions a mind-compelling exercise in possibilities? ... I cannot argue with anything that this guy proposes in this article .....
What Really Happened To Roanoke History Essay ... And also as you probably know there have been a number of similar mysteries that wreak with the same smell of fascination such as The Village Of Hoer Verde case from 1923 and The Anjikuni Lake Incident from 1930.
What do you suppose happened at Roanoke Sheltie? ... and what about the two that I mentioned?

Cheers Buddy.

Fratty and out of touch.
I'm not familiar with the two 20th century cases you mention. I'll have to look into those.

Yes, I think there could be a lot of truth to the intermarrying theory. I've heard stories about colonists who came to the Jamestown region of the new world and reported meeting natives with characteristics such as fair skin and/or blue eyes. I think there is a tendency to think of the indigenous people in monolithic terms when in reality the individual tribes were often very different from each other in culture and temperament.

Both sides of my family came to North America before the American Revolution and both sides contain a few Native American ancestors. The intermingling was far more common than most people realize. You would never know this from looking at me as I am very fair-skinned. Just about everyone in my family is/was very fair-skinned and there are a lot of redheads. My maternal grandmother, curiously, was very dark and looked middle eastern. We always assumed she got more of the indian blood than the rest of us.

The tribal politics are also very fascinating. One of the tribes in my family tree, the Piscataway, for instance, were a small mostly peaceful, agrarian tribe that lived along the Chesapeake Bay. I think they were controlled by the Iriquois Confederacy but it's been a long time since I've read about this stuff. Smaller tribes were indirectly controlled by larger groups in much the same way as smaller countries are influenced today by larger countries like the US or UK.

What I've always found interesting is that my family tree has a lot of Scotch-Irish ancestors. It's my understanding that the Scotch-Irish were actually Irish but they called themselves Scotch just to differentiate themselves from the Irish Catholics. There is only one Irish Catholic in my family tree but lots of Scotch-Irish. Apparently, it was considered almost unthinkable in colonial days for a Protestant to associate with a Catholic! Intermingling with the indians, however, was not as much of a big deal. :Whistle:

I'm actually very surprised you did not learn about the Roanoke Colony in school as it was in effect the first attempt by England to become an empire. The Queen came to visit Virginia on the 400th anniversary of the Jamestown Colony in 2007.

Yes the lack of animal prints does make one wonder... And I guess nobody got chewed up... but what could they have been running from? Why? Nobody bothered to write what was happening or try to leave a clue of some sort??? So it either happened quick, or, their minds were so messed up they could not think properly... maybe they ingested something they shouldn't have...
Or maybe they were so busy trying not to be hunted down that they didn't have time...
a avalanche might be an explanation, as for the strange state of the bodies, well maybe animals ate some of the corpses

Hi Coubob, thanks for the reply mate, and I respect all opinions and yes that is one of the more sensational ideas that someone proposed at the time... but imho, it was probably proposed by someone who had an eye on the 'newspaper/magazine headlines' angle to the mystery. Just my opinion of course, but for me to ever go with the 'Yeti explanation'... I will first have to see some healthy, tangible evidence for the existence of such a mythical creature in the first place, which so far , I have not.
...And besides, even if the Yeti [in any of it's guises] does exist... then surely just as the distinct lack of physical traces...ie footprints ... seems to rule out the other 'wild animal theory' out completely, then it stands to reason that it also precludes the Yeti as being the culprit, doesn't it?

.... Btw Coubob, I believe that this is the picture that started the 'Yeti' theory off in the first place .. it's from an old Russian documentary about the event in which it was presented as such....

Thank ya, So i guess that leaves them trippin on mushrooms is the next on my list of possibilities, but why in the hell would people do that in such a inhospitable and treacherous place,maybe it was just an avalanche.

Hi Humanoidlord, welcome to the thread and hope you had a good weekend matey. :Thumbsup:

I see that you are convinced of the 'avalanche explanation' for the disaster [as once upon a time I was... but no longer] , and maybe you are on the right tracks after all, .. but I doubt it myself because there are so many faults ...or should I say inconsistencies with that assumption... From what we can tell from the naked footprints left by the group everyone seemed to descent with relative ease, so no panic driven clamber away from a perceived oncoming avalanche that typically travels at super speeds. [anything from 20 to 240 mph ..but more usually somewhere in between]
Unless you are actually saying that the unlucky party was in fact hit by an avalanche whilst in their tent? [which would explain why the tent was frantically cut open from the inside. ... but then as I said before .. From what we can tell from the naked footprints left by the group everyone seemed to descent with relative ease,.. and surely it is highly unlikely that three people with broken ribs and flail chest would be transportable at all. And here we see several badly damaged men and a woman walk without problems or even help from any of the members of the group.? ... Unlikely to say the least wouldn't you say.
Secondly these men and women weren't absolute novices at this type of trip , in fact they were experienced and well trained. They knew that chances of freezing to death is more likely than getting killed by an avalanche. Although the removal of the damaged tent from an exposed mountain side was out of the question, they would have known that they had to retrieve all their warm clothes in order to survive even a brief period out of their tent.
And finally if you see on the pictures on February 1st on the left and February 26th (according to Vadim Brusnicin who is sitting on a slope of the mountain with his back toward the camera man) on the right you can see part of the tourist gear that kept its vertical position on the slope weeks after the tragedy stroke. Furthermore the entrance of the tent is clearly elevated. Only the middle portion collapse probably due to hasty escape or weigh of snow simply collecting on there.

Dyatlov-pass-avalanche-theory-01.jpg


... And along with all of these facts that casts doubt on the avalanche theory there's also the verifiable facts that The Kholat Syakhl mountain is not very tall and it is certainly not very steep, and perhaps what is more damning for the theory is that the tourist own diaries report on that very day that there was "a fairly thin snow cover" on the slope!
... and so HL, while i'm not saying that the 'avalanche theory' is definitely out of the question.... I would say that it was highly unlikely mate.

Btw .... which animals ate which corpses HL? ... :Unsure: ... Have you heard something that I haven't?

Cheers Buddy.

Leading marine biologist Frederick Grassle of Rutgers University, US, how many species there were in the sea. He replied that the best estimate was between 1 and 10 million.
So far, the catalogue contains 122,000 species, about half the estimated 230,000 known species.
But there are still millions more ocean species to be discovered.

The oarfish hypothesis is a good one but a couple years ago reading the report below and doing some follow up reading I think what the Daedalus encountered was a Sei whale which are slender and usually at least fifty feet in length dark grey in colour mainly...These animals can skim feed and move as witnessed, this magnificent creature should be considered a very good possibility...

The 1848 ‘Enormous Serpent’ of the Daedalus Identified

...

Hi Nivek, and thanks for the reply buddy.
And yes I've seen that "explanation" [ aka...'possibility-masquerading-as-a-case-breaker'] before, and this is one of those scenarios in which i'm always afraid of becoming known as one of those ignoble type of anti-prosaic-explanation type of guys that would argue that black is white rather than accept 'a reasonable explanation' from someone that has letters after his/her name. ... Which I can assure you I am not!, if the evidence fits the explanation then I will happily accept and be grateful for the enlightenment. But if not... then I will not capitulate my own impression of the data. And this instance is one of those where I think that the "expert" from CSI has fudged his way through most of the contradictory testimony from the actual witnesses in order to make his own conclusions fit the bill, so to speak. [which in my experience is the general practice of that site ... don't get me wrong, sometimes I agree with their conclusions to certain cases... but more often I find their unreasonable reliance on the old cherry-picking of testimony and their incessant practice of 'appealing to authority' laughable,... in a disbelieving kind of way.]
ie... I think it stands to reason that there are many aspects of the original testimony that have to be brushed aside, diluted or just ignored for this anomalous creature that was witnessed by the crew of the Daedalus one hundred and seventy years ago to be conclusively identified as being 'a twenty minute encounter with a Sei Whale' which contrary to factoid number 1 was not a mysterious and unknown commodity at the time. .... Sei Whales just as all large whales had been hunted by whaling ships of all countries since man was able to take to the sea with harpoons a very long time before the Daedalus was built! .. The fact is that not many of the really big whales were ever caught before the invention of the explosive harpoons later on in that century [from 1885 onwards 14,295 Sei Whales were taken].
...My point here being, that rather than being ignorant to the sight of such a whale , the chances art that such salty seamen as was the commanders and crew of this grand old frigate would have been able to identify a whale ... who knows perhaps even if not directly , some of the crew may even had whaling connections? ..And directly from the chief officer on watch Lt Drummond...
It was going at the rate of perhaps from twelve to fourteen miles an hour, and when nearest, was perhaps one hundred yards distant. In fact it gave one quite the idea of a large snake or eel. No one in the ship has ever seen anything similar, so it is at least extraordinary!
The next fact to be ignored or brushed aside being the contemporary testimony is that of the 'on-the-scene' witnesses description of the 'creature'... such as the glaringly obvious anomaly in the 'Galbraith cast iron explanation' which is that all on-site testimony was that the creature was in fact ..
"a dark brown colour, and beneath the under jaw a brownish white"!
... and in every reference book that I've seen about the description of the Sei Whale is that it is ..
steel grey with irregular light grey to white markings on the ventral surface
or alternatively
a Dark bluish-grey with a lighter underside.
and never the dark brown colour that glares out of the testimony. ... and what about the bell ringing description that the actual witnesses gave that set my sights on the 'Oarfish'? ... that of course along with the extreme length [as opposed to bulk] ... snakelike as attested to... there is for me at least, the striking undilutable fact that the witnesses reported that the creature had ..
" something like a mane of a horse, or rather a bunch of seaweed, washed about its back."
...[erm... something like that on the Oarfish perhaps?] ... There is probably more to be said about the possibility of errors in Galbraith's suppositions [nay... insistences] but these few are what come of the top of my head, and i'm not even saying that his "explanation" is definitely wrong and that my own notion is correct, but I am [as you probably already know] of the disposition that I just cannot stand by while others accept a 'possibly-flawed explanation' of the true nature of a 'real life mystery' without opening my big mouth! lol.
...And for the sake of even handed appraisal of competing theories I searched the net for examples that might bolster Mr Galbraith's supposition and the closest that I could genuinely come up with was this YT video of the Sei Whale passing close to a boat in the middle of the ocean....

.... and still find it hard to believe that , that crew of salty old seamen wouldn't have recognised the creature to be a whale of some kind, and not a "snake-like serpent with a horses mane!

...Alternatively, I would like to remind any open minded folk that the 'Oarfish explanation' that I champion is by no means a new theory. It was proposed long ago near the time of this incident and many other "Sea Serpent" reports back in the 19th century by the likes of British zoologist Dr Andrew Smith who voiced what remains today a popular consensus among the scientific community in The Times newspaper of London, which was published by it on 15 June 1877 when he confidently asserted:
"I am, as a zoologist, fully convinced that very many of the reported appearances of sea-serpents are explicable on the supposition that giant tape-fish [i.e. giant oarfishes] – of the existence of which no reasonable doubt can be entertained – have been seen."
... and reprinted this picture from Engraving of Bermuda's Hungary Bay giant oarfish, sketched by W.D. Munro for 3 March 1860 issue of Harper's Weekly (public domain)

Engraving of Bermuda's Hungary Bay giant oarfish, sketched by W.D. Munro for 3 March 1860 issue of Harper's Weekly
In an 1860’s article, Matthew Jones esq. speaks of a creature captured at Bermuda’s own Hungary Bay. Unsure of its origins, Jones announces it as “not undeserving of being styled a member of the sea serpent family.” This specimen would later be revealed to be the impressive giant oarfish (Regalecus glesne), a deep sea fish thought to be the origin of many sea serpent tales, possibly due to its habit of surfacing when close to death.

:Tongue: Lol that was a long winded way of saying that I disagree with the certainty of Mr. Galbraith's "Case Closed" assertion in this ancient incident I know mate. ... And he may still be right....But the crux is that I have a bugbear about these CSI "Cut n' Dried Closed Cases!" when for me at least, ... they are not!

Hi guys, I just thought that it was time to start this thread here at Alien Expanse, .. well why not, it's one that I really enjoy and I've started it on most of the other sites that I've ever been on over the years. :Tongue:
Slightly different to the thread in other guises in that this time I am going to present my latest acquisition ..[above]... It is actually a 'Time And Relative Dimension In Space' [aka. Tardis. borrowed from the time-lords over there on Gallifrey] that is unfortunately stuck in the form of Scooby Doo's wheels.
My friends from our camp each year at Burning Man (our camp was called Karmic Savings and Om), asked me to make a full-scale digital mural so they could have it wrapped on the camp's van, the Karmic Mystery Machine, so I took the concept of The Mystery Machine from Scooby Doo and modernized it to better suit the Burning Man festival. Here's the result, which can still be seen driving around San Francisco:

Karmic Mystery Machine.Grand Canyon.jpg

The mural is a collage of images of my sculptures and drawings, and photos of the people in our camp having fun at Burning Man the previous year, a few astronomy images in the back, and set against my friend Charley's digital landscape mural in the front. Here's the original file so you can make out the details:

Karmic Mystery Machine Art --Driver Side.jpg

If you look closely there's an image of The Mystery Machine from Scooby Doo about halfway down and near the front on the left side.

It's so much fun to ride around San Francisco in that thing - people light up wherever we go as we drive by, and he gets sweet notes on his windshield once in awhile.

Also as pertaining to the Dyatlov Pass Incident, ... I came across this other real life mystery today that some of you might already have been aware of... it's titled [erroneously in my opinion] as "The American Dyatlov Pass Incident"
Five Friends Died Completely Bizarre Deaths, And A Phantom "Whistling Woman" Might Be To Blame


... I say that I believe that in my view the headline grabbing title of The American Dyatlov Pass is erroneous, because apart from the freezing to death, and of course the utter tragedy of innocents bits of the mystery, there are little to no similarities between the two incidents at all. ... But an utter fascinating and compelling mystery in it's own right, that demands a heck of a lot more thorough investigation nevertheless!

Cheers.


Well here is an interesting read about this mysterious case...What do you think?...

Strange Debris Found at Dyatlov Pass, Site of Mysterious Deaths

It’s one of history’s great unsolved and conspiracy-generating mysteries. In 1959, the frozen bodies of a nine-member ski-hiking expedition were found partially undressed near their Ural Mountain campsite in an area whose indigenous name means “Dead Mountain.” The official reason given for the skiers’ strange behavior (like slicing open their tent from the inside) was “natural force they were unable to overcome,” the investigation documents were classified and the public was banned from the area for three years, which irritated those who heard witnesses had seen fireballs that could have been Russian missile tests, energy orbs or alien spaceships. Now, nearly 60 years later, a possible piece of solid evidence may have been found … with its own discovery also shrouded in mystery and intrigue.

Dyatlov_Pass_incident_02-570x451.jpg

A view of the tent as the rescuers found it on Feb. 26, 1959. (public domain)

The latest piece in this mysterious Dyatlov pie begins in 2008 when a tourist claims to have found a large chunk of metal near the site. The 3-foot-by-3-foot (one square meter) piece was either too heavy or perhaps too frightening for this person to bring back in 2008, so it remained there until this year when URA.Ru reported that an expedition had returned to the remote location using GPS coordinates kept by the finder and retrieved it.

“It seems easy only the first 100 meters – in fact it is hard to carry and very uncomfortable. We even at that time hardly managed to deliver it, although we specially prepared it.”

Alexander Zarubin told URA.Ru reported on the expedition for URA.Ru (report here with numerous pictures of the chunk, the area and the team) and says that after the difficult retrieval, it was delivered to Yuri Kountsevich, head of the Dyatlov Foundation dedicated to maintaining the Dyatlov Museum and continuing the investigation of the unsolved mystery. Kountsevich’s initial analysis, along with others who have looked at it, is that the metal is part of a rocket fuel tank, possibly from an intercontinental ballistic UR-100.

Does this metal fragment help solve the mysterious 1959 deaths of the skiers on Dyatlov Pass? Well, it fits the theory that the Russian military was conducting tests (not a real surprise) and a secret missile crashed in the area and its secret cargo may have been responsible for the radiation detected on the bodies and their clothing. It might also lend credence to the theory that the skiers were involved with the tests, possibly working with the KGB – a theory based on reports that some of their diaries and film rolls (one of which may have had photos of the strange orange fireballs) were missing.

Why did these experienced hikers tear their tent from the inside and got barefoot in the snow, some dying of exposure, others from injuries including a broken skull, two broken ribs, and a missing tongue (you read that right). The chunks of metal sheds no light on this or the rumors of a Yeti attack, an avalanche or a rare weather condition known as Kármán vortex street that can generate very-low-frequency sound waves that could have caused psychological problems that drove the hikers mad, or at least to do odd non-hiker things.

_дятловцам_на_Михайловском_кладбище-570x428.jpg

Memorial to the hikers

No other pieces of metal were found. Could have been placed there deliberately to distract investigators who may be getting too close to the real reason behind the Dyatlov Pass mystery?

Or is it just a coincidental piece of the many rockets and missiles launched by the USSR and Russia?

Will we ever find out?

Why did these experienced hikers tear their tent from the inside and got barefoot in the snow, some dying of exposure, others from injuries including a broken skull, two broken ribs, and a missing tongue (you read that right). The chunks of metal sheds no light on this or the rumors of a Yeti attack, an avalanche or a rare weather condition known as Kármán vortex street that can generate very-low-frequency sound waves that could have caused psychological problems that drove the hikers mad, or at least to do odd non-hiker things.

Memorial to the hikers


No other pieces of metal were found. Could have been placed there deliberately to distract investigators who may be getting too close to the real reason behind the Dyatlov Pass mystery?

Or is it just a coincidental piece of the many rockets and missiles launched by the USSR and Russia?

Will we ever find out?

Well here is an interesting read about this mysterious case...What do you think?...

Strange Debris Found at Dyatlov Pass, Site of Mysterious Deaths

It’s one of history’s great unsolved and conspiracy-generating mysteries. In 1959, the frozen bodies of a nine-member ski-hiking expedition were found partially undressed near their Ural Mountain campsite in an area whose indigenous name means “Dead Mountain.” The official reason given for the skiers’ strange behavior (like slicing open their tent from the inside) was “natural force they were unable to overcome,” the investigation documents were classified and the public was banned from the area for three years, which irritated those who heard witnesses had seen fireballs that could have been Russian missile tests, energy orbs or alien spaceships. Now, nearly 60 years later, a possible piece of solid evidence may have been found … with its own discovery also shrouded in mystery and intrigue.

The latest piece in this mysterious Dyatlov pie begins in 2008 when a tourist claims to have found a large chunk of metal near the site. The 3-foot-by-3-foot (one square meter) piece was either too heavy or perhaps too frightening for this person to bring back in 2008, so it remained there until this year when URA.Ru reported that an expedition had returned to the remote location using GPS coordinates kept by the finder and retrieved it.

“It seems easy only the first 100 meters – in fact it is hard to carry and very uncomfortable. We even at that time hardly managed to deliver it, although we specially prepared it.”

Alexander Zarubin told URA.Ru reported on the expedition for URA.Ru (report here with numerous pictures of the chunk, the area and the team) and says that after the difficult retrieval, it was delivered to Yuri Kountsevich, head of the Dyatlov Foundation dedicated to maintaining the Dyatlov Museum and continuing the investigation of the unsolved mystery. Kountsevich’s initial analysis, along with others who have looked at it, is that the metal is part of a rocket fuel tank, possibly from an intercontinental ballistic UR-100.

Does this metal fragment help solve the mysterious 1959 deaths of the skiers on Dyatlov Pass? Well, it fits the theory that the Russian military was conducting tests (not a real surprise) and a secret missile crashed in the area and its secret cargo may have been responsible for the radiation detected on the bodies and their clothing. It might also lend credence to the theory that the skiers were involved with the tests, possibly working with the KGB – a theory based on reports that some of their diaries and film rolls (one of which may have had photos of the strange orange fireballs) were missing.

Why did these experienced hikers tear their tent from the inside and got barefoot in the snow, some dying of exposure, others from injuries including a broken skull, two broken ribs, and a missing tongue (you read that right).

We may soon find out who the Zodiac Killer is.
Just a day after Sacramento police arrested the man they believe to be the Golden State Killer, a serial rapist and murderer who terrorized California in the 1970s and ’80s, detectives revealed that genealogy websites had helped lead them to the suspect. According to the Sacramento Bee, detectives in the state are currently using the family-tree tracing technology in at attempt to find one other infamous serial murderer: the Zodiac Killer.

In the late 1960s, the Zodiac Killer killed at least five people in Northern California, and is perhaps best known for the tormenting letters and cryptograms he sent to the police and media. While his identity was never discovered, detectives are trying out new methods to find him.

According to the Sacramento Bee, a few months back, the Vallejo police submitted multiple envelopes containing letters from the Zodiac Killer to undisclosed genealogy websites, where they will undergo a new type of DNA analysis. Results could come back as soon as in the next few weeks, and “almost certainly by summer.”

“If we get a good profile, then you start tracking back,” Vallejo detective Terry Poyser said. “It really comes down to DNA. Without it, you have nothing. It’s a 50-years-old case.”

While Poyser believes the killer is a man named Arthur Leigh Allen, a former elementary-school teacher and convicted child molester who is now deceased, he seeks a clear answer before his plan to retire next year.

“They were confident they would be able to get something off it,” Poyser said.

Another cold case solved thanks to DNA and genealogy websites.California man arrested in 10 'horrific' cold-case rapes
A married 58-year-old man has been arrested in connection with at least 10 rapes across Northern California between 1991 and 2006 in what's known as the NorCal Rapist case, Sacramento police announced Friday.

Roy Charles Waller of Benicia was arrested without incident at the University of California in Berkeley, where he worked for 25 years as a safety specialist in the office of environment, health and safety.

District Attorney Anne Marie Schubert said her office used DNA and genealogy websites to zero in on Waller.

His arrest comes five months after police used the same tactic to arrest 72-year-old former police officer Joseph DeAngelo in the Golden State Killer case, which is connected to at least a dozen rapes and killings throughout the state in the 1970s and 1980s.

"DNA is the silent witness to the truth," Schubert said at a news conference announcing Waller's arrest.

Waller is suspected of raping women in six Northern California counties, from Sacramento to Chico.

He's scheduled to be arraigned Monday in Sacramento Superior Court. It's unclear if he has an attorney.

Detective Avis Beery, who worked the case for 12 years, said she has been "waiting a really long time for this day to come."

"I never gave up hope," she said, adding that she called one of the victims of the NorCal Rapist on Friday morning to tell her the news.

"She was overcome and over the top with emotion and happiness to see that this person is in custody and that no one else has to worry about him anymore," Beery said. "The victims in this case can stop looking over their shoulders."

She described the NorCal Rapist's modus operandi, saying that he typically would break into houses late at night, often when women were asleep.

"He would overcome them, he would bind them, and then repeatedly sexually assault them," she said.

Sometimes he would kidnap the women and force them to withdrawal money from ATMs, and sometimes stole their personal items.

Sacramento Police Chief Daniel Hahn called the crimes "horrific," saying the victims were terrorized for hours at a time.

"There's one less dangerous predator on our streets," he said.
