Many of us like to read mystery novels. In these fictional worlds, there are almost no unsolved mysteries. And at the end of the story, bad guys usually end up with the consequences for their actions.
But the real world is even darker and there are many unsolved mysteries. It is one thing to empathize with their stories, but it is another to experience them personally. For those living in stories of unsolved mysteries, there is still light at the end of the tunnel. Because the authorities have been trying to find out the truth of the unsolved case, people will at least find the truth at some point in the future.
But the following mysteries to be shared with you have not yet been solved, which is even more disturbing.
The boys in Yuba County never went home again
1978, five California boys with different mental disabilities went to see an basketball game , but never went home again. They have always lived with their families, but they all have different mental problems. Although they are often called "boys" rather than men, they are also in their 20s or 30s, but one of them is still normal.
What is puzzling is that they drove about 112 kilometers east from the basketball court. Instead of going home, they drove onto a mountainous, snow-covered road. There, they abandoned their cars and disappeared into the night. Later, a snowstorm forced the authorities to cancel the search operation.
In the snow melt, authorities found the bodies of Bill Sterling, 29, Jackie Hurt, 24, Ted Weich, 32, and Jack Madruga, 30. The fifth man, 25-year-old Gary Matthias, is still missing. Strangely, Ted Weich starved to death in a trailer full of food, and there was an unlit propane tank heater, while three other bodies were outside.
No one knows what exactly happened to the boys in Yuba County, and why did they die in the snow? Why is Gary Mattias still missing?
The first person to record moving images on film, disappeared
The whole world believes that Thomas Edison is the inventor of the movie. But in fact, Louis Le Prince was the first to record dynamic images on film.
In October 1888, Le Prince recorded a series of dynamic images on the Leeds bridge in Leeds, England. Before the Edison and Lumiere brothers, he also owned patents for 16 lenses and single lens devices. On September 16, 1890, Le Prince boarded a train on the Dijon Platform. At that time, he promised to return to Paris to meet his friends and then return to England. But he failed to do it and there was no news from now on.
The French police's investigation was fruitless, and his body had never been found.

In 2004, Gustavsson was tried for murder, but there was no evidence to prove he was guilty. The following year, he was acquitted. So so far, no one knows who killed these three people.
Etienne Bottino's "Ship Lookout"
Today, it is very easy to draw a map of a ship's sailing and understand its exact route and arrival time. But it was not the case in the 18th century.However, in the French colony of Mauritius , a Frenchman named Etienne Bottino can do it. He can predict that the ship will reach 6 kilometers from the island.
He called it a science and won his bets in many taverns. He can predict the arrival of the fleet, precisely the time and number of ships. Later, he called it "the art of discovering ships and land far away", which we briefly summarized as "Cliffon" and "Ship Lookout".
No one knows how he did it, and when Etienne Bottino wanted to show his talent in France, the French Revolution
was in progress, so no government official was willing to listen to his ideas. Later, he died in Pondicherry, India, with the cause of death unknown. So far, no one knows how he did it, and no one knows what kind of science he really is. A murder case of a 10-year-old boy has not been solved
On October 15, 2011, 17-year-old Black Chapel attended the home-school dance party at East Coveta High School in Sharpsburg, Georgia. He should have spent the night at his friend's house, but he went to see his girlfriend temporarily. Later, although someone saw this Georgian boy walking back to his friend's house, he failed to arrive.
His mother recalled their last conversation. He said: "Mom, I had a great time. It was the best day of my life. I could play and dance with my friends." After Black disappeared, his mother reported the matter to the authorities, and the search lasted for two months.
In the months when Chapel was missing, his mother Melissa also received a strange call and only heard the sound of the TV in minutes. She said she called her son's name several times but received no reply.
Finally, in December 2011, authorities found his body and an autopsy found Black Chapel dead.
Police conducted an investigation and finally found a suspect who attacked Chapel a few months before he disappeared. The man is Chapel's stepfather of his ex-girlfriend, who ran away from home to see Chapel. It is understood that the man also threatened to kill Chapel because of his relationship with the girl, but in later investigations, authorities found no evidence that he was related to the boy's disappearance and murder.
The police have not released any more details, so the case is still a unsolved case and has not been closed.
The US Navy "Cyclops", which has been missing for a century, has been missing for a century
Cyclops is an 167-meter -long naval ship that debuted in 1910. It is responsible for transporting coal at sea and providing assistance to refugees. During World War I , the ship became a naval transport ship.
1918, the Cyclops set sail from Brazil with 306 crew members and 11,000 tons of manganese. The ship then stopped for a while at Barbados and disappeared as it sailed to Baltimore . No one sent a distress signal, as if he had been swallowed up by the sea.
Theory suggests that the Cyclops may have sunk into the Puerto Rico Trench, where the water is deep. But then again, many people will think of Bermuda Triangle .
And what does the US Navy say? "The disappearance of this ship is one of the most confusing mysteries in naval history. All attempts to find her failed."
"Sea Nation" was an aggressive voyager, and no one knew their true identity
About 1400 BC to 1000 BC, the "Sea Nation" attacked Egyptian , two thousand years earlier than Viking . They came on warships as skilled predators, leaving the Egyptians in horror. So far, no one knows the identities of these invaders.
In the Egyptian city of Tanis , an inscription written in the 13th century BC was found. It declared that "they came from the sea on the warship , and no one could resist them."
Later, historians collectively called them "sea people", but their identities have always been controversial.Some people think they might be Etruscan or Trojans. Some people also say they are Philistines, Mycenaean , Minos , and even Italians. The plunder of the "sea nation" was one of the main reasons for the collapse of the Bronze Age. However, historians cannot fully figure out who they are.
This small town full of twins is still a mystery
Linha São Pedro is a small German settlement nearby in the city of Cândido Godói, Brazil. The most famous one here is the chance of birth of twins . The number of twins born here is more than 10 times the national average, and no one knows the reason.
There are rumors that the Nazis were doing experiments. Argentine Historian Jorge Camarazar accused Joseph Menger in his book "Mengler: Angel of Death in South America". Kamalasa said that Menger often went here in the 1960s. After that, the birth rate of twins grew rapidly.
Scientists naturally ignore this theory, claiming that Menger cannot affect the birth of twins.

There are rumors that during the months he stayed in the hospital, he would eat corpses and search for garbage and manure piles. He was even accused of eating a missing child.
Later, Tarari died of tuberculosis . When the doctors performed an autopsy, they found that his esophagus was very large and could even see his stomach directly from his open mouth. Today, the medical community assumes that Tarari may have thyroid disease , but that doesn't explain why he eats live animals, carcasses or anything he can catch.
