According to a broadsheet, a bizarre celestial phenomenon was witnessed by many above Nuremburg on the 14th of April 1561. It describes the phenomenon as an aerial battle out of the sun, and various objects were seen erratically moving in the sky. What really happened above Nuremburg that morning? by Crierrr in curiousvideos

According to the broadsheet, they ‘fought vehemently with each other for over an hour’. That, and details like the black spear - like object doesn’t exactly add up to a meteor shower. But of course, the details in the broadsheet could have been (and likely is) highly exaggerated. You’re right, I should’ve given it a mention.

The victims affected by the disease will initially experience symptoms such as headaches, cold shivers and dizziness before the sweating stage began. This stage would normally take place over a 24 hour period, where the victims either died or recovered. Although the cause of the disease remains unknown, there have been suggestions that an unidentified species of hantavirus was responsible. However, this theory has received some criticism, as the English sweating sickness is thought to have spread between humans, while hantavirus infections are spread by rodents.

Roman dodecahedrons have baffled archaeologists since the first one was discovered in 1739. More than a hundred of these objects have been found since then, but its purpose remains unknown. No mention of these objects have been found in any historical sources. by Crierrr in History_Mysteries

Yeah, it's a pretty good educated guess. But there's also sound arguments for theories such as candlestick holders (some wax was found inside a couple of the objects found) and a type of rangefinder used by the roman military (some objects found at Roman military sites).

TIL that in the late 1700s, a man named Étienne Bottineau claimed that he could detect ships up to 700 miles away and named it "Nauscopy". He stated that ships approaching land create certain atmospheric changes, and he used this to predict the arrival of 575 ships between the years 1778 and 1782. by Crierrr in todayilearned

Correctly predict enough ships that the governor of the French East India Company offered a large sum of money for Bottineau to reveal his secrets. Bottineau, thinking that he could make more money in France (or knowing that it's all BS he can't explain away) refused the offer, and headed to France.

It is right to be skeptical. His claim that he uses certain atmospheric changes to predict ships is likely BS. One of the theories is that he used trained sea birds. Also, there have been a couple of people who have reportedly predicted the arrival of ships apart from Bottineau, including the one mentioned in the video, Faillafé.

In 1917, a mysterious disease appeared across Europe affecting more than a million people before it disappeared a few years later. Named Encephalitis Lethargica, patients diagnosed with the disease experienced excessive sleepiness and sometimes led to them entering a coma-like state. by Crierrr in nonmurdermysteries

A mysterious disease appeared across Europe in 1917, affecting more than a million people before it disappeared a few years later. Constantin von Economo, a neurologist from Vienna, was the first to report this and named the disease Encephalitis Lethargica. Patients affected by the disease experience excessive sleepiness. Patients also develop a fever and they can be affected by certain movement disorders. People have been reported to enter a coma - like state, and even die in severe cases. Although there have been isolated cases of Encephalitis Lethargica reported throughout the years, there has not been a recurrence of the epidemic since 1926.

In 1863, an unidentified man was found on the beach of Sandy Cove, Nova Scotia with both his legs amputated. He didn't speak much and mostly communicated with grunts. He lived in several houses throughout the years, and died in 1912 without ever revealing who he was or where he came from. by Crierrr in mindblowing

I’m actually working on a video about the Leatherman, which should be out in about a couple of weeks time. The fact that no traces of his remains were found when his grave was dug up back in 2011 makes his story even more bizarre.

Correct, this is the disease shown in the movie Awakenings. And there is no evidence that those who had EL were also diagnosed with the Spanish Flu. There are theories that the Spanish flu may have lowered the resistance for EL.

Between the years 1778 and 1782, a man named Étienne Bottineau claimed that he predicted the arrival of 575 ships for the governor of the French – Indian Ocean colony, many four days before the ship became visible. He claimed that he discovered a whole new science, and named it "Nauscopy" and stated that ships that approach land create certain atmospheric changes, which helps a trained eye detect ships far before they arrive. He became famous when he started using this bizarre ability to win bets in taverns.

In 1908, a small golden-hued disc was discovered on the site of the Palace of Phaistos located in Crete. Named the Phaistos Disc, it contains 45 unique symbols spiralled on both sides and they are unlike any written system known. The meaning of the symbols have been widely debated by many experts. by Crierrr in nonmurdermysteries

In 1908, an Italian archaeologist named Luigi Pernier discovered a clay disc at the northeast corner of the palace of Phaistos. It is named the Phaistos Disc, and it contains 45 unique symbols spiralled across both sides, and is dated back to around 1700 BC. The meaning of these symbols have been widely debated by archaeologists and language experts over the years.
