“Why Babysitter, What Did We Do Wrong?”: 30 Unresolved Mysteries People Doubt They'll Ever Solve When I was a teenager I was lying in bed with headphones on listening to one of my playlists while drifting off to sleep. Next thing I remember I woke to someone very clearly whispering ‘wake up’ in my ear, I shot up looked around to an empty room and ran downstairs to tell my parents about my ghostly encounter. Spent years telling people about it when ghost stories would come up.

The mystery was finally solved when I was listening to that playlist again years later and it shuffled on to Sexual Healing by Marvin Gaye

Not so much an unsolved mystery, but extremely unusual for sure.

So it was 1997, I was in my second year of college, and coincidentally the college was near the seaside, so one lunch break me and a friend head down toward the seafront. Now, back then we didn't have mobile phones, and my friend needed to make a call, so we stopped at a phone box, which was situated by a pleasant green area with trees, shrubs etc. While he's making his call I decide now is a good time to chow down on that sandwich I'd purchased on route, one of those s****y prepackaged sandwiches you get in any supermarket meal deal.

As I open my sandwich I see an adorable little squirrel sitting on the low wall just opposite where I'm standing, so, as a lover of most things nature, I break a bit of sandwich off and toss it to the little guy, and he hurriedly accepts my gesture of goodwill, joining me in our lunchtime sandwich. All is good.

What comes next is quite simply an intrusion of personal space and daylight robbery. This cute little squirrel is actually a proper cheeky tosspot, who, at the speed of light, proceeded to jump off the wall, run at me, up my f*****g leg, around my torso and down my arm, then manages to bat the remainder of the sandwich out of my hand, before stopping for a second to look me dead in the eye like I was his b***h, before jumping off, and making away with the remainder of my lunch!

It all happened so fast, and I was so stunned I just kinda froze. My mate came out the phone box, oblivious to the recent heist and didn't believe a word of it when I told him (to be fair, I wouldn't have believed it either)

“Why Babysitter, What Did We Do Wrong?”: 30 Unresolved Mysteries People Doubt They'll Ever Solve Growing up we always had a white doorbell with a black removable bezel. Very simple thing, nothing anyone would ever think about. It could have been 20 years old in the 70s.

I was 15 and coming back from school. Completely unremarkable, same routine as every school day.

The bezel was white.

I asked my parents if they'd changed it. They said it's always been white, what an I talking about.

And that's what freaked me out. And it freaked me out really badly. We had a black doorbell, not a white one. It was as much an incontrovertible constant as all of us having two hands, two thumbs, ten toes. Black doorbell.

Only "it's always been white".

I swear this isn't the universe I was born into. I slipped into a parallel universe that day where the only difference is the colour of my parents doorbell.

“Why Babysitter, What Did We Do Wrong?”: 30 Unresolved Mysteries People Doubt They'll Ever Solve Found my birth father after learning he was also searching for me. I called the landline number I’d discovered. A man answered. Thinking it was him, I gave my name and confessed how thrilled I was after many decades. The man was a police offer. Guarding the home until the ME/funeral director arrived. I was beyond devastated. Gave my number to him hoping my fathers relatives would reverse charges and call. Thirty + years later, no-one has ever called. And without proof of accessible evidence, funeral home wouldn’t give me details. Plus we lived thousands of miles apart. Paid for his services and that was it. The smile on my face remains intact whenever I think of our limited memories together. Especially when the officer asked my hair color. He told me they’d discovered a very young childhood photo of me in his wallet with my name on the back and date. RIP Dad ❤️

I once went swimming in open water and got really bad cramp in my leg, my friends were a fair bit away from me on paddleboards. I can literally remember starting to go under and not be able to get myself back up, I started to really panic. I then swear I felt someone grab me and help me swim over to my friends, when I looked who it was it was my childhood football coach and he kept saying “oh dear we need to get you out the water, come on you’ll be fine”.

When I get to my friends they help me on the board and they help me back to shore. I’m not sure why I didn’t turn to say thanks to my football coach but we’re nearly back to shore when I ask where’s the guy who helped me out, and they told me I just swam to them myself and there was nobody there.

I don’t believe in ghosts or guardian angels, I don’t believe in god or anything paranormal at all. But to this day I still remember being dragged out the water and him helping me across. I guess it was just my brain freaking out and putting an old authority figure there to help me get back ok. But man what the hell, I definitely saw and felt someone there, the brains a powerful thing I guess.

“Why Babysitter, What Did We Do Wrong?”: 30 Unresolved Mysteries People Doubt They'll Ever Solve What the f**k was going on with *that* room in a 130-year-old house I once rented.

Back around '07/08 I lived with my then girlfriend in an 1890s terraced house in greater Manchester. Nice house, recently renovated, so it felt very modern even though it was over a hundred years old. But there was something off about the second bedroom at the back of the house.

It began as a vague sense of unease - when I went to the bathroom in the middle of the night, I just had a strong feeling that I shouldn't look in the direction of that room. So I'd go to and from the bathroom, taking care not to look over at the doorway. I thought it was just some silly quirk I was indulging. And then I told my girlfriend about it. I said, "Hey, so this is going to sound silly, but-' and she just put her hand up to stop me, and said, "It's the back room, isn't it?' Turned out she felt exactly the same way - a strange sense of not wanting to so much as glance at the back room in the middle of the night.

It got weirder.

My brother came to stay and we put him up in the back bedroom. We didn't mention anything to him about our unease about it. That first morning, I asked him how he'd slept, to which he replied that he'd had a horrible night, suffering from strange dreams before waking up in a cold sweat. "There's something weird about that room," he finished. One day, some time later, I walked past a bookshelf when a lever-arch folder - which had been lying on top of the bookcase for months - suddenly fell off and struck me on the shoulder.

But the strangest thing was still to come.

One night my girlfriend and I were just chilling in the living room watching TV when suddenly we heard this loud *crash* from the kitchen. It sounded like a load of plates and pots and pans and cutlery falling off the draining board onto the floor. I raced into the kitchen expecting to find a total mess. But there was nothing. Everything was exactly as it should be, exactly as we'd left it.

To this day I've never been able to figure out a rational explanation for that sound (which we both heard). There was a road to the front of the house, but the traffic on it was always pretty light and the noise definitely came from the kitchen, to the back of the house. The walls were really thick; in the two years we lived there we didn't once hear a peep from the neighbours on either side, so the sound can't have come through the walls. Nor could it have come from behind the house - I checked the back yard and it was empty, as were all the others on either side. There was no one there, nor any sign of anything that could have made such a loud noise.

Weird.

Oh! Yes! When I was 17 (so 1997), I was taking a class over the summer, so I didn't go to my grandparents house with parents and sister. One night, I was on the phone in my room, talking to my mom, and there was a huge crash from downstairs. Mom even heard it over the phone. So I told her I'm grabbing my bat, I'm gonna go check it. I'll call you back in five, call the cops if I don't. Best case, maybe the cat knocked something over and it broke a bunch of stuff. Nothing. Not a single thing was out of place, let alone broken. I still have no explanation.

Probably something like she had an affair and got pregnant, so the man who raised him, and who he called his father his entire life, wasn’t his father. Or that he was the result of a rape. That would shake anyone up to learn, and lead to them just not wanting to tell anybody about.

“Why Babysitter, What Did We Do Wrong?”: 30 Unresolved Mysteries People Doubt They'll Ever Solve Somebody at school did a S**t the size of an arm; it was so absurdly big that the person who ‘discovered it’ ran into multiple classrooms (mid lesson) to get everyone to come to the Boys toilets and look at it… the fact no teacher bollocked him shows how justified they think he was in his amazement. By lunchtime word had spread to the whole school and dozens of students were now queuing up to get a glimpse of the ‘object’…. it was like Comic-Con with Ezra Miller; everyone was waiting in line to have their photo taken with a massive piece of s**t.

Speculation was rife as to who did it - with mainly the larger students and teachers falling foul of the ‘Depth Charge Detectives’. Despite the biggest man hunt since the ‘Who Shot Phil Mitchell’ saga of 2002; no one ever came forward and it remained the school’s biggest mystery since the ‘hands on’ PE teacher abruptly got fired.

“Why Babysitter, What Did We Do Wrong?”: 30 Unresolved Mysteries People Doubt They'll Ever Solve We moved house in May. On one of the first days in the property, I put my airpod charge case down on the dining room table, went into the living room to dust and vacuum, came back 20 minutes later and it was gone. The only thing in the dining room was the table itself and a set of (empty) shelves. I was alone in the house, my husband was out for several hours picking up various other bits of furniture and boxes. I have, to this day, still not found the case.

Then, in June, I bought a new water bottle on the way to the gym, used it at the gym, came home and put it on the kitchen counter to wash and refill for the next day after dinner. Half an hour later when I came to do the washing up, it was gone. My husband had been with me the whole time. We were both totally perplexed. We’ve searched the house top to bottom multiple times over and still cannot find either of these items.

I was driving up to my parents one morning, my internet was down and I needed to work from home (around the end of lockdowns) Dad had been unwell for a few days. I remember thinking I must ask Dad. As a teenager I had heard him mention that his Mum had had a stillborn child when he was about 12 to a family friend. I’d never had the courage to ask him for more details despite being curious. He died suddenly that afternoon, without my asking. He was the last of their family, so I’ll never know the answer.

Anyway, must have been the fourth or fifth time he was washing the windows and suddenly he just upped and left with it halfway done. I was working from home at the time so I thought it was odd, but assumed it was an emergency or something so I gave him a few days to message me and explain.

“Why Babysitter, What Did We Do Wrong?”: 30 Unresolved Mysteries People Doubt They'll Ever Solve A good few years ago, while I was single, each time I met someone and went on a date, things went well and they'd then suddenly go cold on me (ghosted). Not too strange these days, however several of them later came back to say they received anonymous messages on social media about me. one forwarded me the message they received. The content of the messages means it must have been someone close to me who I was still friends with and hanging out with regularly (so it couldn't have been an ex). Things like taking what I had said, twisting it into a negative, and then sending it on anonymously to the person I was dating, trying to get them to stop seeing me. It still sometimes plays on my mind that I'll never know who it was who was sending these messages, or what their motivation was, other than stopping me meeting new people. The part that bothered me at the time was it stopped me progressing any kind of new relationships - it did stop eventually (afaik) and live worked itself out in the end as I'm now 10 years happily married :) Just a very strange situation and was pretty worrying at the time, feeling spied upon by someone close enough that I'd have probably considered them a friend. the message I did see was a FB messenger screenshot that had been created from various parts of other FB messenger messages. If you looked at it quickly, it looked legit, but on closer inspection it was clearly pieced together from one person's name, and different text in the body of the message. Whoever it was, went to some effort.

I have 2 cats that were very close when they were younger. Usually sharing the same box or curled up next to each other, never ever had a fight between them gotten serious. They would fight a lot but it was ALWAYS playful.
One day I left them in the kitchen in one of their boxes and went to the living room next door. A few minutes later I went back and only one of them was there, and there was a LOT of blood. Cat 1 seems fine, Cat2 is nowhere to be seen but the blood was everywhere- all over the floor, the box and going outside from the cat flap and down the garden path. I assumed he was dead due to the amount of blood lost (way too much for a bird or mouse) and he was missing for hours. I was only in the room next door for a few minutes and I hadn't heard any serious fighting or yowling.
Hours go by and Cat 2 turns up totally fine. No visible injuries, no signs of blood on him (they are both white so blood would show up very easily) and just slots back into his box like nothing happened. This was years ago and they're both going strong still. I'd love to know what happened and where it came from

It's often difficult to estimate the actual size of something that's flying more than a few meters away. Most likely the OP thought that the dragonfly was farther than it actually was and therefore overestimated the length. Happens all the time with snakes. People remember seeing a "30 foot anaconda" which, when captured, turns out to be 13 feet long.

About 20 yrs back maybe a small bit more, 4 of my buddys went on a trip to thailand, 2 guys 2 girls, 2 couples. Went out, were having a time, went to a lady boy show. 1 of the boys thought he was funny made a smart comment towards 1 of the ladyboys. About 20 mins later he had to go to the toilet. Was followed in by 5 ladyboys. Came out, black eye, shirt ripped, holding in tears. This was not the type of bloke to lose a fight, even when he lost he wanted to keep going. Went back to his table and begged the others can they leave that he wanted to go back to his hotel and pack as they were leaving the next day. For the rest of the night and the long flight back the following day he didn't open his mouth to speak once. Once back home, we, his friends didn't see him for over a month, in that month he gave up his job and broke it off with his girlfriend who he was meant to marry 4 months later. After about 6 months he ended up in a mental hospital where after 3 months he ended his life. We all think we know what happened in that bathroom in thailand but we'll never know.

“Why Babysitter, What Did We Do Wrong?”: 30 Unresolved Mysteries People Doubt They'll Ever Solve When I was 5 or 6, one day I went to school and my teacher was off sick, so we had a supply teacher instead. And then my first teacher… just never came back. They never said anything to us about it, just kind of acted like we’d had this new teacher all along.

I’ve often wondered if she WAS ill, or if something happened to her - you’d think they’d have let us send a get well card for some sort of closure even if they didn’t want to let us know how serious it was. Makes me wonder if it was some kind of scandal, the way everyone seemed determined to pretend she’d never existed.

I had a colleague in my school that did something he got fired for immediately (nothing that physically harmed anyone, thankfully, but definitely an instant dismissal). We were told not to tell the students and just pretend he was ill. The offer by his class to write a get well card was discouraged. So yeah, there was probably some kind of scandal involved with your teacher.

I cut off my mom’s brother’s family because they were extremely narcissistic people who only cared about themselves and their children who were entitled brats. As a child they were quite abusive (mentally) towards me out of all the kids in the families (e.g.: one of their kids once struck my head with a wooden bat when playing and their parents quickly blamed me when all I was doing was just sitting on a side). My parents often sided with them. I can’t 100% link the two but I would go on to develop a personality disorder that is linked to childhood neglect and also depression and anxiety. As a teenager I was mature enough to recognise that these people were taking a toll on my mental health and cut them off once I turned 18. My parents don’t know this reasoning. My dad has also never liked them much so he didn’t question me but my mom and other relatives always wonder why I cut them off cause to most of them “family is everything”.

“Why Babysitter, What Did We Do Wrong?”: 30 Unresolved Mysteries People Doubt They'll Ever Solve I believe this was probably just a nightmare, but it remains so vivid even 25 years later.

I was about 7 years old. I used to have terrible nightmares so would often seek comfort in my parents room. On this occasion, I got into bed with my dad and my mum slept in my room.

I have an older brother (4 years difference so he was a kid himself) who I shared a bunk with. As far as I was aware, he was fast asleep.

All I remember is my dad fast asleep, and the sense that something was watching me by the doorway. I was too scared to get up and look, so I cracked an eye open ajar whilst pretending to be asleep.

I remember what appeared to be my brother standing by the door, staring at me, except he looked like a demonic, evil version. He had this sinister smile, similar to the recent horror film ‘Smile’.

I was too scared to do anything, and just remained as still and quiet as possible, whilst cuddling up to my dad.

The next thing I remember is waking up in the morning and having a huge sigh of relief that nothing/no one was there.

Everything was normal the next morning. I’ve never spoken about it with my brother. We have always been close but it truly creeped me out. I’ve never experienced anything like that again.

Like I mentioned, I believe it was most probably a vivid nightmare. But every now and then I think about it and still get the creeps!

Kids see weird s**t. When I was about 4, I got up to use the bathroom and while I was passing by the living room, I saw a man sitting on the footstool. He looked like Santa Claus, but he was all green. He had green work pants and shirt, greenish-colored skin, greenish tint to his Santa beard. He smiled at me, and I went back to my bedroom.

“Why Babysitter, What Did We Do Wrong?”: 30 Unresolved Mysteries People Doubt They'll Ever Solve We had a great, lovely babysitter for our 2 year old. She'd looked after him on many occasions. We needed to go to my sister-in-law's wedding, in central London. Very fancy hotel. We booked a room for her to look after our son in. She was to look after him from after the reception party (she was invited) to when we were due to go home in the evening. We arranged transport for her. The wedding came and went, she seemed fine right after it. We never heard from her again. Wouldn't answer her phone or reply to texts. Why babysitter, what did we do wrong??

You never really know what's going on in people's lives. Maybe she lost her phone and couldn't get back in touch with you, maybe she went through a depressive episode and was struggling with communication, maybe she got hit by a bus.

“Why Babysitter, What Did We Do Wrong?”: 30 Unresolved Mysteries People Doubt They'll Ever Solve When I was about 6/7ish i was looking for bugs around my grandparents house, under furniture and what not.

I checked under a cupboard in the living room and saw a single eye on a stalk looking back at me (kinda like a snail but not slimy) from behind one of the cupboards rear legs. I thought it must be a toy so I went to the kitchen and asked my gran to give me something to reach it with (it was too far away for me to reach by hand).

Armed with a spaghetti server I went back to the cupboard and the eye was still there, I reached to get it... And it disappeared. my grandad then moved the cupboard and we could find no evidence of anything hiding behind it.

I ended up writing up notes and drawing pictures in a journal which I still have somewhere. For some reason this mystery as stuck with me ever since and I have no idea what it could be. Overactive imagination?

Howdy, I'm Adelaide! I'm originally from Texas, but after graduating from university with an acting degree, I relocated to sunny Los Angeles for a while. I then got a serious bite from the travel bug and found myself moving to Sweden and England before settling in Lithuania about two years ago.

I was wearing my late mom's emerald necklace and took it off to take a shower. I left it on my bed with my pajamas (I was the only one in the house). When I came back. it was gone. I have searched absolutely every corner of my bedroom including underneath all the furniture and inside every drawer. It has been three years. I know I will never find it but I cannot figure out what could have happened.

About a year ago I was walking my dog in a field across from my apartment. This a large field, about half the size of a soccer field. I’m always very alert when walking Jake as he aggressive towards other dogs. So I always give other dogs a wide birth. He has never been aggressive towards people. So there we are in middle of this empty field with no one in sight. I bend down to pick up his …leavings. And he bolts, ripping the leash out of my hand. I stumble, regain my balance and look up. Only to see a woman standing 10 feet in front of me. Jake is going nuts circling and barking and snarling. She’s maybe in her late 50s with long curtly salt and pepper hair. And she’s completely unfazed by the 70 pound dog barking and snarling at her. She looks at me say’s almost serenely “I want to pet your dog”. I say “that’s not a good idea.” She just kept saying “I want to pet your dog”. I just caught his leash and got the hell out of there. Where did she come from? why was my dog so freaked?

When I was a young parent I felt uneasy and started walking around the large garden of a relatives house, we were there for a BBQ, I just felt this well of unease like something bad would happen, I kept getting drawn to the bottom of the garden, I would shake my head and walk back up a little and turn around again, the closer to the house I went the greater the pull to the garden was, my 3 year old son had found a pool with a cover on it right at the bottom of the garden behind some trees, had tried to walk on it and fell in, no one else heard a splash and I ran towards it, seen his tiny hand going under the water, grabbed him and pulled him out. Something made me go down to that part of the garden to make sure my son did not die.. If I had not had that urge I would have lost my son.

I told my fancy pair of glasses Sorry, you can't come on this business trip, I'm taking the other pair. When I came back, they were gone. Haven't been able to locate them in the 6 months since. I must've insulted them so deeply that they left by themselves.

When my mother passed away, I was the one responsible for clearing her stuff from the house. Sorting out what was to be dumped, what was to go to a charity shop, and what was to be given to other members of the family. I came across a nice little jewellery/keepsake box that I'd never seen mum use, and which played "Speak Softly, Love" (Love theme from "The Godfather") when opened. To the best of anyone's knowledge, mum had never seen "The Godfather". We have no clue whatsoever where it came from, and when she bought it.

While in the hospital after cancer surgery, was waiting to speak to the doctor, they had put my chart on my bed so I was reading it. It said that during my surgery they checked my appendix to see if it needed to be taken out but it had already been removed. I never had appendicitis or had my appendix removed, no scar, nothing. Where did it go?

I still have a significant memory gap from a severe hypoglycemic episode when I was about 14. Last thing I remember was sitting in my bedroom cramming for a test, next thing I know I'm waking up in the dining room with paramedics checking on me. The thing is, when I was studying I was still in my day clothes, but when I regained consciousness I was in my PJs. Logically, I know I had to have stopped studying, gotten ready for bed, went to sleep, then woken up, realized my blood sugar was low, made my way downstairs to get something to eat, then truly passed out. And yet I have absolutely no memory of any of it. As a side note, I had a bizarre ninja moment during all this because despite the severe low giving me the balance of a drunk pirate on a ship in a hurricane and our house being so old breathing wrong made the floors creak, I somehow left my room and got downstairs without waking my mother, the lightest sleeper on planet earth, until the thud that announced I'd passed out.

I have two. In highschool, someone sent me a huge valentine card anonymously. Never found out who. In prison, I was in a five-man room, next to the window. After lights out, I'd lie on my bed and solve math puzzles. When I was ready to sleep, I'd put my book, calculator, pencil, and light on the windowsill until morning. One night, the calculator fell off the window. In the morning, I got up to put my stuff away, and couldn't see the calculator under the bed. I pulled the bed out, the calculator wasn't there. I went through the bags and boxes I had under the bed, and couldn't find the calculator. My roommates looked. They couldn't find it, either. None of them could have stolen it, because I was the last one awake. They didn't know it had fallen off the windowsill. We never found the calculator.

one time i was on holidays, and you needed a card to get down to the pool. me and my friend went down to the pool (with the card). when we got out, we realised we didn't have the card, and decided to just ask my parents to let us in (they had a card each, and we had one). well we got back upstairs and they opened the door for us, lo and behold, there was the card on the bedside table, and everyone else had one.

Here’s one! I am wondering if perhaps a parallel universe version of me got in this universe and registered on Facebook because I once looked up my own name and saw someone who looked like me, but a bit younger and without glasses, and seemingly having decided against cutting her hair short like I had done. Now, that sounds not too far fetched, but I really really love flower crowns, and I loved them too at the time, and I liked to describe myself as a flower child as well then. And guess what I saw in the recent posts? A picture of the girl wearing a flower crown, with the caption flower girl. She looked like me with a different hairstyle and no glasses, had the same name, and had my aesthetic. Also my eyes are sometimes blue and sometimes green, and in the pic her eyes were blue-green. This is real!

My husband has a cool story. He's not sure to this day if he made it up or not, but he says he has vivid memory of seeing these things. His dad was showing him something in the woods; it was like a family who were tiny, little people. He remembers there was a grandma and two smaller kids. He told kids at school about it who all said he was lying but even his dad came in and told them that he wasn't and they did really see it. He says nowadays that his dad probably told him a story and he made the images up in his head and maybe his dad just played along. He still seems unsure.
