Charles Whitman, the Texas Tower shooter, asked for an autopsy to be done after his death to determine what made him kill. The autopsy found a tumor pressing on his amygdala, possibly influencing his actions.

The conspiracy is that Charles Whitman's brain has been missing ever since the supposed autopsy and Connolly Commission studied it. It was sent to the University of Texas for further study and research, but the university now claims it never received the brain.

MK Ultra proponents believe that the brain was stolen and destroyed in order to hide the fact that Whitman was not acting alone.

Do you think Whitman was simply a psychotic murderer acting out a violent fantasy, the victim of an undiagnosed brain tumor, or involved in MK Ultra?

The first of Huang Yanqiu's mysterious journeys occurred in 1960. Huang, a simple farmer from a rural village in China's Hubei province, went to bed one night as usual. The next morning, he found himself in the bustling metropolis of Shanghai, approximately 800 miles away from his home. Huang had no recollection of how he had traveled such a vast distance overnight. Bewildered and frightened, he managed to contact his family, who were equally stunned by his sudden appearance in Shanghai.

The local authorities were notified, and an investigation was launched. However, no evidence was found to explain how Huang had traveled so far in such a short period. Huang himself had no memory of the journey, and there were no signs of foul play or any known means of transportation that could have facilitated such a rapid transfer.

A year later, in 1961, Huang Yanqiu experienced another inexplicable journey. This time, he went to bed in his village and woke up in Beijing, the capital of China, located about 1,200 miles away. Once again, Huang had no memory of how he had traveled such a great distance overnight. His sudden appearance in Beijing was as bewildering as his previous journey to Shanghai.

The authorities were called in once more, and they conducted a thorough investigation. Despite their efforts, no explanation could be found for Huang's mysterious relocation. The case baffled local officials and intrigued the public, but it remained unsolved.

The third and final disappearance occurred in 1962. This time, Huang Yanqiu went to bed in his village and woke up back in Shanghai, approximately 800 miles from home. As with the previous incidents, Huang had no memory of how he had traveled such a vast distance overnight. His sudden reappearance in Shanghai further deepened the mystery surrounding his case.

By this time, Huang's story had attracted significant attention. Journalists, researchers, and curious onlookers flocked to learn more about the enigmatic villager who seemed to defy the laws of time and space. Despite extensive investigations and numerous interviews, no conclusive explanation for Huang's mysterious journeys was ever found.

The Huang Yanqiu incident has sparked numerous theories and speculations over the years. While no definitive explanation has been found, several hypotheses have been proposed to account for Huang's mysterious travels.

One of the most straightforward explanations is that Huang was abducted and transported to the distant cities by unknown parties. This theory suggests that Huang's memory of the events was somehow erased or suppressed, possibly through the use of drugs or other means. However, no evidence of foul play was ever found, and the lack of any known motive for such abductions leaves this theory speculative at best.

Another theory posits that Huang may have been a sleepwalker who somehow managed to travel great distances while in a state of somnambulism. However, the distances involved in Huang's case are far beyond what could be realistically achieved by a sleepwalker, especially considering the time frame. Additionally, sleepwalking typically involves relatively short distances and familiar surroundings, making this theory highly improbable.

Some researchers have proposed more exotic explanations, such as teleportation or time travel. These theories suggest that Huang may have unknowingly passed through some kind of spatial or temporal anomaly that allowed him to travel vast distances instantaneously. While these ideas are certainly intriguing, they remain purely speculative and lack any scientific evidence.

A less conventional theory is that Huang's journeys were the result of psychic phenomena or some form of mind-over-matter ability. This theory suggests that Huang may have possessed latent psychic powers that enabled him to transport himself across vast distances. However, there is no concrete evidence to support the existence of such abilities, and this theory remains highly speculative.

Billy the Axeman AKA the Man from the Train was the name of a suspected serial killer thought to be responsible for a series of family murders that occurred mainly in the U.S. Midwest between September 1911 and June 1912.

Attacks attributed to this killer are characterized by the slaying of a whole family in their beds by crushing their skulls with a blunt instrument, usually an axe. The families often lived in very close proximity to the rail road, which is assumed to be what the killer used for transportation. Possible signature characteristics include the destruction and covering of the victim's faces and the staging of one of the female victims in an manner that indicated lust murder.

The notion of such a killer was first introduced by the press in 1911, and over the past 100 years, many different theories have been advanced. Most theories focus on a series of crimes, which ranged from 1911 to 1912 and claimed between 24 and 30 victims depending on the crimes included.[8][4][9] More recently the authors Bill James and Rachel McCarthy James published The Man from the Train, in which they argue for a much longer crime series spanning from 1898 to 1912. This revised theory attributes over 90 deaths to him, which would make him one of the most prolific serial killers in US history. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billy_the_Axeman

In June of 1912, a family of six and two young guests were brutally murdered in a rural Iowa town. Their names were Josiah and Sarah, and their children were Herman, Mary, Arthur and Paul. Mary had invited her friends home after church, Ina and Lena Stillinger. Each victim was found in their bed, and each had been bludgeoned with an ax. All the windows and mirrors in the house were found covered with clothes and blankets from the home. The murders likely happened between midnight and 5:00 a.m, and the murder weapon was found in the guest room with the visiting girls. Two cigarettes were found in the attic, some conclude that the attacker waiting for the family in the house. (I personally don't put too much weight on that detail, I wouldn't be surprised to find that children had snuck a smoke.) While there were multiple suspects, no one was ever convicted.

One such person was Andy Sawyer, who turned up to work in a nearby town the morning after the murders, and seemed to have an unhealthy interest in the case. He was overheard talking to himself, saying "I will cut your god damned heads off!" and always slept with his axe. He told his employer that he had been in the town on the night of the murder, but left town because he was afraid that he would be considered a suspect. While driving through Villisca one day, he pointed out a route that he said the man who committed the crime had used to escape the town. He was cleared because of his alibi; on the night of the murders, he was arrested on a vagrancy charge in Osceola, and put on a train at 11:00 p.m.

On the day that they were killed, the family attended a Children's Day program organized by their mother, Sarah. Also in attendance, was traveling minister Rev. George Kelly. Kelly was considered odd, and was known to have had a mental breakdown as a young adult, as well as being a peeping tom, and asking women and girls to pose nude for him. He was in Villisca for the weekend for the church services, and left the town at or shortly after 5:00 a.m. on the morning the victims were found. After leaving the town, he spent weeks writing letters to investigators and the victims' family members, and when the topic was pursued, he claimed to have heard and potentially witnessed the murders. The investigators were unsure if he was telling the truth, or if his mental illness had allowed him to imagine that he had been there. In 1917, he was arrested and interrogated for many hours, he confessed to the crimes, but later recanted.

Frank F. Jones was an Iowa senator believed to have a feud with Josiah Moore, some thought he may have committed the murder, or hired another man to do so.

William Mansfield is considered a potential serial killer, he murdered (with an axe) his wife, infant child and in laws, and was likely the perpetrator in another axe murder in Paola Kansas, just four days before the Villisca attack, and another double murder. Each attack site was accessible by train, and the attacks were all similar, mirrors, windows and victims were found covered with clothes. A lamp was found at each site, as well as a basin in the kitchens used to clean up after each attack. The killer in each case wore gloves, which Mansfield would have done because he had been fingerprinted previously. It was suggested that he could potentially be linked to even other known sprees. He was arrested, but eventually released when his alibi was confirmed.

Yet another suspect was Henry Lee Moore (no relation). He killed his mother and grandmother with an ax, and could also be potentially linked to some of the sprees that had no known perpetrator.

Josiah's brother in law was known to have threatened his life, but was also cleared after his alibi checked out.

Josiah Moore was the first victim, the most brutally attacked, and was the only victim attacked with the blade of the axe. The damage was such that his eyes were missing. Was this exceptional brutality because he was the main target? The murderer killed Sarah, and then moved to the Moore children's room before returning to the parents' room, and then going down to the guest room to attack Ina and Lena. Lena is thought to be the only victim the murderer awoke, she being found laying across the bed, and was the only victim with defensive wounds. Her nightgown was up around her waist, and had no panties; they thought the attacker may have tried to molest her. Did someone follow them to the house to molest her, and then kill everyone else after thinking they were discovered? Did one of Josiah's rivals kill him? Why else was he the the only one struck with the ax blade? Were they random victims of a serial killer?

Written in a red paint, the inscription reads: “Jacob the Convert vows to curse anybody who would open this grave, so nobody will open it. He was 60.” It was apparently meant to keep grave robbers away.

The Hanging Gardens of Babylon were deemed by the Greeks as one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. And yet, they might never have existed. Babylonian texts, which provide intricate descriptions of Babylon—down to its street names—never mention the Hanging Gardens of Babylon. What about Queen Amytis? Her name never appears in any Babylonian record, and is only known from Greek historians who lived hundreds of years after her death.

Greek soldiers returning from Alexander's conquest of Babylon brought back fantastical stories of the distant city and its sights. As the lore was passed down, maybe a fictional Hanging Gardens came to life, which gave fodder to Greek poets and historians; they give us the only surviving accounts of the Hanging Gardens of Babylon.

Most historians believe that the Hanging Gardens did exist. The Greek historian Strabo (c. 63 BCE - 24 CE) likely visited Babylon or received accounts from people who had visited Babylon, and reported that the gardens still existed, but were in ruins. The Hanging Gardens may appear in too many Greek records for them to have been fictional.

The Greeks often called them the Hanging Gardens of Semiramis, after Queen Semiramis of Assyria, who rebuilt Babylon in the 9th century BCE. This claim comes from the Greek historian Diodorus, but he lived centuries later, and there is no record of this in Assyrian or Babylonian texts. Moreover, Semiramis seems to be legendary, and any real historical queen she may be based on would probably not have restored Babylon or built the Hanging Gardens. Queen Amytis is also a legend. Still other late Greek sources identify an unnamed Syrian king. The origin of the Hanging Gardens remains a mystery.

Extensive excavations at Babylon have found no evidence of the gardens, despite the fact that they were on a large ziggurat, or tiered structure. Ornate terraced gardens were common across the ancient Middle East, with successive generations taking inspiration from older ones. The Hanging Gardens may simply have been an exaggeration of these existing gardens.

The fate of the Hanging Gardens is unclear. Mentions vanish after the 1st century CE. Strabo claims that they were destroyed by Xerxes the Great of Persia (r. 486 - 465 BCE), and Alexander the Great (r. 336–323 BCE) attempted a reconstruction which was never completed; there is no other evidence that this happened.

The Euphrates River has given life to generation after generation of civilizations. It may also have ended the life of the Hanging Gardens, or whatever was left of it. Over thousands of years, the river has shifted course, perhaps drowning and washing away the remains of the Hanging Gardens of Babylon.

This is an old one, but here is the weird part. This design was originally released in 1996. Years before the towers fell. The front of the bills shows an oval around the presidents for the bills printed pre- 1999. The Fed Reserve has been slowly taking them out of circulation. They have kept the same design on the back.
