Creepy Unsolved Mysteries - From unsolved murders to unidentified people to unexplained supernatural events, what are some of the creepiest unsolved mysteries you've ever heard of?

[Stiffy]

Just watched the cringeworthy three part Amy Bradley is missing documentary on Netflix.
For those unfamiliar with the 1998 missing case, these moronic producers either by ignorance of research, or intentionally left out some very important details which did not favor the family.
1. The Bradley Family declared Amy dead in 1998 in order to get the best possible settlement, or payout from their money grab attempt of suing Royal Caribbean cruise line for her demise. Not only was their case tossed out, but the Miami judge Simons fined them for willfully committing perjury.
The Bradleys had over 100 alleged witnesses who claimed to have seen her alive, yet cherry picked just three that best fit their narrative that she was sex trafficked.

2. Brad Bradley (insert name joke here) claims Amy was not a full lesbian (see pics and judge yourself), and that she was only bisexual because she had a boyfriend at the time. As far back as I can remember there was never a mention of a boyfriend in anything I ever read on the case.
She was a plain looking butch lesbian of the 90's with tattoos. Her homophobic father wrote a disturbing three page letter to her girlfriend expressing his extreme disappointment in her lifestyle, and basically saying stay away from my daughter.

3. Alister "Yellow" Douglas the Grenadian bass player seen with her was basically cleared by the FBI in 1998. It was the public, and the racist Bradley family who would not even consider the possibility he had nothing to do with her disappearance. Here's the kicker, Douglas' daughter Amica was paid by the producers to set her father up with a surprise taped phone call to try and entrap him. He didn't take the bait, and Netflix conveniently edited out anything that might sway the public to consider him innocent. It was disgusting, and I don't blame him for considering suing the producers.

4. In the original 1998 newspaper articles about her disappearance, the father wakes up at 4:30 am and sees Amy's legs sticking out on the balcony deck assuming she's asleep in a chair, he then claims to have woken up after dozing off, and being startled, seeing the door open and Amy gone as well her cigs and lighter. If the father (Ron) did see Amy on the balcony at 4:30 then the ship was still many miles off the coast of Curacao in the dark morning hours. She could have easily gone overboard, and her body never found. The ridiculous assertion that her body would have definitely washed up by some podunk Curacao cop they paid in the Netflix doc was unbelievable.

5. The Netflix doc failed to mention that they found a table pushed up against the railing glass, and Amy's slip on type shoes were on top of it. The Bradleys counter with the cleaning crew did it, and stacked her shoes on the table. In fact I believe the FBI concluded that they found no evidence that Amy ever left the cabin after her keycard was used to check in at 3:45 am after many hours of drinking and partying in the upper deck bar and lounge.

In my opinion Amy probably had a bad argument with her controlling father over dancing with a black man (Ron claims he had to go retrieve his two ADULT children from the bar around 3am. I think she was drunk, not thinking clearly, and probably got very sick, and fell over trying to puke, or if you want to get dark, her weirdo brother, or father helped her over the side to get rid of the black sheep homosexual in the family. 23 year old unattractive lesbians on vacation with their family are not going to be targeted by sex traffickers! Talk about an absurd red herring.

Side note she doesn't look happy in this pic with dad, and the prom like pic with her brother is really cringe. Thoughts?

Just watched the cringeworthy three part Amy Bradley is missing documentary on Netflix.

This documentary is why I hate the troo crime set. They want to jam the square peg (sex trafficking) in the round hole (fell off the boat) so much they are willing to lie and omit details just so they can make it fit. Of course, not buying into the sex trafficking angle means that I endorse sex trafficking, of course.

Yes because pimps recognize the best hookers for clients are butch lezbos.

@Stiffy: If the ship was under power when Amy went overboard, she could easily have been pulled into the undertow and ground into hamburger by the giant propellers. This is probably what happened to another drunken homosexual American who famously disappeared into the Caribbean waters many years ago.

Yes, in fact the room she stayed in with her parents and brother on deck 8 was about 110 feet off the water with no lifeboats in the way to block a fall. The cabin was also more towards the stern of the ship. The massive 26 foot props would have sucked her into their vortex and she would be instant fish food, but you still have self styled true crime TikTokers out there saying pieces of her would have washed up somewhere if that occurred. You just can't fix stupid.

 

[Dysnomia]

The Netflix doc failed to mention that they found a table pushed up against the railing glass, and Amy's slip on type shoes were on top of it.

I could have sworn they did mention the table had been moved because they floated the theory that she used it to attempt to puke over the rail. But they really ran with the trafficking theory. And when Amica comes on with that story about her father Yellow having a suitcase full of women's photos it makes him look like he's tied to organized crime. They really wanted to sensationalize the whole thing in just the way the true crimers like it.

People are grasping at straws. They look vaguely similar and that's about it. Leave it to true crime spergs to tag someone cleared by the FBI so his family can receive further harassment. His career as a cruise ship musician was ruined due to this case. He is now a reverend.

Douglas revealed that he and his wife have received many hateful comments on social media over the years. He also claimed that his daughter, Amica, called him in 2024 questioning him about the case. Yellow told Renner that he suspected that someone else was listening to their phone call. He mentioned having a fallout with his daughter over the case.

For those unaware, Amica Douglas’ interview was also featured in Amy Bradley Is Missing. Coincidentally, she called her father on camera and had the same conversation he previously mentioned.

Man who crashed on couch of his drug dealer/clubbing friend/coworker wound up satanically raped by him and his roommates, is this something unusual for a man choosing to randomly stay the night with a distant acquaintance? Because I can tell you no woman considers this story to be "mysterious".
edit spelling

He had his retainer in his mouth though. Thats the glaring thing to me. That and he was sending work mail just before he died.

Not really. They asked and he said no, not realising that it wasn't a request.

October is not too far away...
I heard a great theory about the; "Crying in the Woods" scary story.

Background:
You and the Boys go camping in a wooded area. After a failed day of hunting and night of beer and burgers, you all turn in.
Middle of the night - in the distance you hear the sound of a woman crying. Not screaming, but a constant sobbing.
You wake a buddy, and he hears it too. Everyone is now rubbing their eyes while wondering who is out there crying?

Theory:
I heard a wildlife biologist mention that crows and wolves frequently hunt together. The crows acting as drone recon, leading the wolves to the closest game. And earning a share in the process.
But crows are also excellent at mimicking sounds.
What if crows learned to lure humans to the wolves?
People who have experienced this phenomenon have heard: a crying woman, a crying baby, a child calling for Mom or Dad (never any other word, never answering).

If true, the intelligence of a crow should be viewed as shocking. Understanding the social Achilles' heel in the human psyche, and using it to drive a man into the jaws of a wolf.

Late, but this theory is much more plausible with parrots because while crows can mimic sounds, they can't do it nearly as well, or more importantly, as loudly as parrots can.

Take your idea of a crow mimicking a baby crying because it knows it will get people's attention. Here's a parrot doing that exact same thing, and with disturbing accuracy.

On the topic of using a fake baby cry to lure in victims, that has actually come up a few times as a possibility for certain killers, namely with the serial killer Derrick Todd Lee. In that instance, however, it was proven to be untrue, and just a theory that had gained traction following the airing of an episode of America's Most Wanted which suggested it.

Coincidentally, Lee is also where we get that terrifying, uncanny valley picture that was used in the Selena Delgado Lopez case, and more recently, the Mr. Incredible Becoming Uncanny meme. It's his actual police sketch, and yes, it was actually used to try, and find him.

They don’t even have the same facial structure.

I suspect there will have to be some troo crime law that lets people sue for damages for being on some Redditard’s hit list for sex trafficking. It might exist already, maybe one our legal experts can confirm.

It's not mysterious to get molested after getting changed for bed.

They can call it the "Digging up Hae Min Lee's corpse and playing with it for 8 hours" Act.

I think that’s covered by defamation laws already for the most part (which are more favorable to the plaintiff if the defendant accused them of a crime specifically). Also, remember it’s always a monkey’s paw with wanting to expand these types of laws since it can often lead to an opposite issue of people unfairly silencing dissent.

This documentary is why I hate the troo crime set. They want to jam the square peg (sex trafficking) in the round hole (fell off the boat) so much they are willing to lie and omit details just so they can make it fit.

Yeah a lot of true crime documentaries want to lead a viewer to a certain (usually sensational) conclusion with cases and will often downplay or omit evidence and take expert opinions out of context in order to fit their narrative. A good example of this is the Rey Rivera case where documentaries will talk about his final note in vague terms where an actual examination of the note reveals it to be textbook schizobabble (Rey also being around the age in which men most commonly develop schizophrenia) which lines up with the official story of it being a suicide or possibly an accident. Because this is a mundane explanation documentaries tend to downplay the note while still taking its claims at face value (without actually showing its contents to the viewer). They then weave bizarre theories about him being murdered by organized crime and thrown out of a helicopter in broad daylight. Oddly, mainstream documentaries with higher production values typically pull this shit more often than YouTubers, but their conclusions still often end up uncritically parroted by Sloptubers.

A YouTube channel I enjoy for actually taking a more critical look at these “unsolved mystery” type cases is “Profiling with Pat Brown”, even if she’s very boomerish and sometimes goes too hard in the opposite direction:

The official name is "Bush Stone Curlew" but everyone I know calls it "Eerie Stone Curlew" for obvious reasons. Does it look completely different to how it sounds? You tell me.

I grew up between city and countryside, but I can say that even a fucking cow can make noises that will make you want to tear your ears off.

And then there's the Potoo, which mimics the most terrifying thing in nature: a NEET demanding tendies.

Pat's fantastic imo and a good teacher. Her lives are like college classes, I really enjoy them. I don't always agree with her but I appreciate that she's trying to teach logical analysis and crime reconstruction.

I originally found her through her videos on Sean Daugherty, the boy who was found hanged in his backyard wearing his stepfather's clothes. She gave a clear analysis of how this was most likely a suicide, and the only one on YT that didn't make wild claims that some Mexican landscaper came in and murdered him for some reason. Still a very strange case, but sometimes people do very sad strange things.

 

[Dragged Into Sunlight]

Listening to the Last Podcast on JonBenet again because it's such a weird case. I know a lot of you think the Ramsey's did it but Patsy would have to be greatest actress on Earth to fake that 911 call. That is exactly how my mom sounded when she got home from work after an amber alert was called in for my younger brother (he was fine, he had walked to his friends house and went to a theme park with them without telling anyone. It was a rough 8 hours though. Got grilled by police for a good while asking all sorts of questions about if we had any secret hiding spots, adults that might have befriended us, if our parents abused us, etc.) The franticness in her voice takes me right back to that.

Re: the Amy Bradley boyfriend thing. Her first girlfriend, Kat did an interview and said that Amy had a boyfriend who was pretty much her beard for a while.

Bradley conveniently left that out or didn't know.

I said it before. The Bradley family came off horribly in that documentary, and I no longer feel bad for them because of it. They kept secret so many important facts about Amy and only acknowledged what fit their narrative. It's so sketchy and dishonest.

Her family didn't seem as close as they tried to claim.

Funny how that documentary just conveniently left off the two other photos from that escort site of Jas. You know, the one that clearly shows in both photos that the woman has no tattoos on her body, while Amy had multiple tattoos all over her body.

Just a coincidence, right? Totally not left out to use for more excuses to continue to tell their narrative.

Also, yes. I agree with that theory. I think her being gay played a huge part of it. And I think that's why her family didn't tell that information for all these years. For fuck's sake, man, how can they keep that private this entire damn time? It's a big clue to her disappearance.

 

[autoerotic bus accident]

Listening to the Last Podcast on JonBenet again because it's such a weird case. I know a lot of you think the Ramsey's did it but Patsy would have to be greatest actress on Earth to fake that 911 call.

See, I can't disagree more. I think the call sounds obviously performative and unlike any emergency services call I've (powerlevel) heard.

For one, most parents would have stayed on the line with dispatch until police actually reached the premises. Operators are trained to stay on the line in this type of case and statistically, the majority of callers do choose to remain connected to dispatch until services arrive.

In fact Kim Archuleta, the 911 dispatcher who handled the call, immediately flagged it as suspicious. She alerted her supervisors shortly afterward and asked them to send a copy to the police because she thought that the call had sounded rehearsed. She also had noticed that Patsy didn't hang up the phone properly and her hysterical tone dissipated the moment she thought the call had terminated, whereupon she began speaking calmly to other people in the kitchen. When that extra portion of the call recording was analyzed by law enforcement, one of the voices was determined to be Burke - who John and Patsy had claimed was asleep upstairs the entire time. (They and their lawyer proceeded to repeatedly revise their account of the morning's events to explain Burke's voice on the tape.)

In the call Patsy also identifies herself with "I'm the mother" instead of "I'm her mother" which is just sort of disturbing, unusual language that alienates her from JonBenet. Either that woman was guilty of something or she was the center of the most ridiculous storm of bizarre and suspicious coincidences in the twentieth century.

 

[General Patton]

As for the Alistair "Yellow" thing, I can't blame him for being pissed off. The man has been dragged through the mud and his name is still linked to Amy decades later. I can't imagine how horrible that would be, and all because he danced with her and was talking to her?

I do wonder about just how much Amy told him, since he did claim that Amy told him that she was forced to go on the trip with her family because she was gay. It makes me wonder how truthful Brad was about his claim that Yellow went to him earlier and mentioned his apologies about Amy.

All we have to go on is Brad's word, and his family has come across as extremely dishonest.

By the way, if anyone wants to analyze the escort images they claim is Amy, all four of them are on this site. You guys tell me if that seems like her.
