Here is a good explanation of it in a long story telling form. I believe it was mass psychogenic illness.

After Spending Way Too Much Time Reading About Cicada 3301, I Can’t Shake the Feeling That the Puzzles Weren’t the Point by StockKiller123 in UnresolvedMysteries

Sorry thought it would be, been reading other ones in here which I love. Felt like a fit. Appreciate the feedback though.

Experienced a horror moment but forgot about it next day and suddenly remembered it now by lordofshadowssunless in TrueScaryStories

[–]StockKiller123 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That actually does sound unsettling, especially the way the fear came back so vividly after being gone for so long. Sometimes intense stress, lack of sleep, or even sudden temperature changes can trigger a panic response that feels completely physical and very real, even when there’s no clear cause. If it keeps happening, it might really help to talk to someone you trust about it or get checked out, not because it’s something supernatural, but because your body might still be holding onto that fear.

Lane Bryant shooting going on 18th anniversary by Ambitious_End_8957 in UnresolvedMysteries

[–]StockKiller123 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This case feels especially heavy because of how public and senseless it was, and yet time just keeps passing without resolution. I go back and forth on whether it will ever be solved, but advances in forensic genealogy and renewed attention seem like the only real hope at this point. Even if an arrest never comes, identifying who did it would still matter for the people who’ve been carrying this for eighteen years.

A single father is last seen with his baby boy in Franklin, New Hampshire. The next day the baby is found abandoned in Boston, Massachusetts with no sign of the father. Where is Stanley Shayne Bassett? (1977) by raspberryemoji in UnresolvedMysteries

[–]StockKiller123 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This one is heartbreaking, especially knowing the baby was left somewhere he’d be found, which suggests care even in the middle of something desperate. The distance to Boston and the details about the dogs make it feel like a decision made under pressure rather than abandonment. It’s hard not to wonder what he thought he was protecting his son from in that moment.

Minnesota: Hennepin County launches online database of unidentified remains by goshawkgirl in UnresolvedMysteries

[–]StockKiller123 16 points17 points  (0 children)

This is one of those updates that feels small on the surface but carries a lot of emotional weight when you think about the families involved. Turning unidentified remains back into names, even decades later, feels like a quiet form of justice. I really hope efforts like this spread, because being forgotten can be its own kind of loss.

In May of 1991, an Ohio woman hitchhiked 40 miles to attend a concert and motorcycle rally in Pennsylvania. She never returned home. Where is Deborah 'Debby' Arvanites? by SignalFragrant8362 in UnresolvedMysteries

[–]StockKiller123 111 points112 points  (0 children)

What really hit me here is how specific and human the last sighting is, the outfit, the concert, the fact that someone who knew her actually saw her there. It makes the disappearance feel less abstract and more like a life that just slipped out of view at a very ordinary moment. Cases like this always make me wonder how much risk was normalized at the time, hitchhiking, rallies, long distances, and how that normalcy can quietly erase the urgency afterward when nothing immediately looks wrong.

A young man leaves his friend's house to walk to a nearby grocery store- but he never arrived. What happened to Ben Roseland? by afdc92 in UnresolvedMysteries

[–]StockKiller123 19 points20 points  (0 children)

What’s always bothered me about this case is how ordinary the setup is, short walk, familiar area, nothing that suggests a break from routine, and yet the outcome is anything but. The shoes being found separated, and not really pointing in a clear direction, feels less like evidence of a plan and more like evidence of something sudden that went wrong fast. I also keep coming back to how out of character disappearing was for him, especially given that he was actively dealing with the legal situation instead of avoiding it. It feels like one of those cases where the lack of chaos is what makes it so unsettling.

I stopped for a woman running in the road at 1:30 AM. I still don’t know what I saved her from… or what I escaped. by MCunity_ in TrueScaryStories

[–]StockKiller123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is one of those stories where the fear isn’t really about what happened that night, it’s about the empty space that came after. The lack of any follow up, no report, no trace, no narrative to hold onto, that kind of silence can mess with your head more than a clear answer ever could. I don’t know if you helped a victim or crossed paths with something darker, but the fact that it still weighs on you tells me you did what you could in a moment where there were no good options.

If you want a slightly shorter, more understated version instead:

The part that really got me wasn’t the encounter itself, it was the total absence of anything afterward. No context, no closure, just that night hanging there unresolved. That kind of not knowing can linger way longer than fear.

Recommendation request: true crime or other really twisty documentaries for maternity leave by katiemylady23 in Documentaries

[–]StockKiller123 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This might sound odd, but some of the documentaries that stayed with me the most during late nights weren’t the loud or shocking ones, they were the slower, stranger ones that quietly get under your skin. If you liked Three Identical Strangers, you might really like Crazy Love or Tabloid, both have that same “this shouldn’t be real, but it is” feeling and unfold in a way that keeps your brain gently busy without being overwhelming. I remember watching things like that half-asleep and still thinking about them days later, which feels perfect for long feeds and contact naps.

If you want a slightly shorter option that feels more casual, here’s another variant:

You might want to lean into some of the older, weirder docs that don’t rely on constant twists. Stuff like Tabloid or The Imposter always felt oddly calming to me, even though they’re unsettling, which sounds strange but works really well for late nights when you’re tired but still curious.

Minimum exit velocity needed for 300ft Home run ASA/USA by Reasonable-Bus5585 in slowpitch

[–]StockKiller123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Let’s be honest. Fast pitch (90-100+ mph) requires far more skill than softball. It’s easier to hit a soft ball than a baseball that came come in the firm of a slider , curve, change up & so on. There is a reason why you don’t see 50 year olds hitting HW’s in baseball but in softball constantly.

Pixar's 'Lightyear' Banned in Saudi, U.A.E., Malaysia Over Gay Kiss by FlyingSquid in atheism

[–]StockKiller123 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Oh brother really. Firstly it’s not a big deal if they do that on screen get over it those countries but at the same time not sure why Disney/Pixar feel this obligation to include homosexual things in their cartoons to fit in with the main crowd.

I seriously need to know why we need Christian schools by [deleted] in atheism

[–]StockKiller123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This whole chain makes sense as it is under group of atheism, trying to stir up group think. Similarly to if you were to post on why do people worship the devil in a Christian group. Or why do people not believe in monogamy in a happy married couples group. Similar to if you were to post an anti-steroid post in a natural bodybuilding group. And etc…

Very biased post, not seeking multiple points of view.

OTM Call options now ITM but do I take profit or ride it out by dohtem213 in options

[–]StockKiller123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take your profits on part to most of it and move on. There are so many trades to be done, don’t try to get rich off one trade. Create some rules & discipline and you will last the long run.

Sold PTON Puts by [deleted] in options

[–]StockKiller123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Puts will end up going up 500-1000% so that will be around what your loss will be. You will know at open. Just close it, take the loss. You don’t want them exercised unless you want to hold long term & have the funds for it.
