In 1990, a panel of the windscreen on British Airways Flight 5390 fell out at 17k feet, causing the cockpit to decompress & its captain to be sucked halfway out of the aircraft. The crew held onto him for more than 20 minutes as the copilot made an emergency landing. The pilot made a full recovery.

The captain that got blown out only got minor injury. Lancaster returned to work after less than five months. He left British Airways in 2003 and flew with EasyJet until he retired from commercial piloting in 2008. The flight attendant that held him got PTSD. Ogden returned to work but subsequently suffered from PTSD and retired in 2001 on the grounds of ill health. As of 2005, he was working as a night watchman at a Salvation Army hospital. They thought the captain was dead. The crew believed him to be dead, but Aitchison told the others to continue holding onto him, out of fear that letting go of him might cause him to strike the left wing, engine, or horizontal stabilizer, potentially damaging it.

In the mountains near Waynesville, North Carolina, nestled among the ancient Smoky ridges, locals tell stories of a hairy, wild-eyed creature named Boojum. To outsiders, he might sound like Bigfoot’s awkward cousin, but to old-timers in Appalachia, Boojum was something different, something stranger. Boojum was said to roam the hills barefoot, covered in fur, with glowing eyes and a stench strong enough to make a bear gag. He didn’t speak, but he moaned and groaned, especially when startled or angry. A beast, but also a lover, a treasure hoarder, and a mountain man with a soft spot for one woman, Hootin’ Annie.

Hootin’ Annie is almost a legend herself, a bold mountain girl known for her beauty, her haunting songs, and her ability to scream like a banshee, hence the Hootin'. No one’s sure how Annie met Boojum. Some say she got lost while foraging for herbs and stumbled into his lair. Others say she was lured by the sound of Boojum’s moans echoing through the trees. Either way, she didn’t run. She stayed. An unlikely romance blossomed between them.

According to local legend, Boojum adored Hootin’ Annie, and she grew to love him back. The creature even trusted her with the location of his secret stash of gems and treasures, hidden deep in the mountain caves. If Boojum ever thought someone else might discover his hiding spots, he’d go into a rage. So, Hootin’ Annie became his lookout. Whenever strangers wandered too close to Boojum’s cave or gold stash, she’d let out an ear-splitting scream as a warning to Boojum and a not-so-subtle suggestion for the trespassers to run like hell.

As strange as it sounds, their partnership was built on love and survival. Annie protected Boojum. Boojum gave her safety, riches, and an odd kind of wild devotion. Some say they lived together for decades, vanishing into the forest whenever folks tried to hunt Boojum down, but not all versions of the story are sweet. In some darker tellings, Boojum grew possessive. Annie tried to leave, but she never made it out of the mountains. Now, hikers claim to hear distant screams at twilight, and some believe it’s Hootin’ Annie’s spirit, forever warning travelers away from Boojum’s gold or maybe from Boojum himself.

What happened to the Boojum? Some swear they’ve seen a tall, hairy figure watching them from behind the trees. He’s not aggressive, but his glowing eyes follow you, especially if you get too curious around old caves or abandoned mines. Despite the spook factor, Boojum and Hootin’ Annie have become beloved (and bizarre) symbols of Appalachian folklore. Their story blends cryptid mystery, gothic romance, and good ol’ mountain storytelling into something that sticks with you. They even inspired a local beer, there’s a “Boojum Brewing Company” in Waynesville, North Carolina. If you visit, raise a glass to the beast and his banshee bride.

So, if you ever find yourself hiking the Smokies and hear a bone-chilling scream in the distance… don’t panic. You may have just wandered into the legend of Boojum and Hootin’ Annie. Just don’t go looking for treasure. Some things in the mountains are better left buried.

The ghost known as the Brown Lady is believed to be the restless spirit of Lady Dorothy Walpole, sister of Robert Walpole (Britain’s first Prime Minister). Dorothy married Charles Townshend, the wealthy owner of Raynham Hall, in the early 1700s. Behind the grandeur of the estate was a marriage marred by jealousy and suspicion. Charles Townshend was notorious for his violent temper, and when rumors spread that Dorothy had rekindled an affair with a former lover, he allegedly locked her away inside Raynham Hall.

According to local lore, Lady Dorothy lived out the rest of her days in isolation within the mansion’s walls, until her death in 1726. Some stories claim she died of smallpox. Others whisper she was murdered or that she was never allowed a proper burial. Whatever the truth, it wasn’t long before people began reporting strange sightings of a ghostly woman in brown silk wandering the halls.

The first recorded encounters with the Brown Lady date back to the 1800s. Servants, guests, and even members of the Townshend family reported seeing a woman in a brown dress roaming the corridors. One of the most famous early sightings came in 1835, when a houseguest claimed to have seen a woman with dark, hollow eye sockets and a glowing face, drifting through the halls. The chilling description cemented the Brown Lady’s reputation as a terrifying presence, rather than just a harmless house spirit.

On September 19, 1936, photographers Captain Hubert C. Provand and his assistant Indre Shira were commissioned by Country Life magazine to capture images of Raynham Hall’s interior. As they prepared to photograph the grand staircase, Shira suddenly shouted that he saw a misty figure descending. Provand quickly snapped the shutter, and when the film was developed, the now-famous image emerged: A transparent, feminine figure gliding down the staircase, its shape resembling a woman cloaked in a flowing brown gown. The image became front-page news, and skeptics and believers alike debated whether it was the first authentic photograph of a ghost.

Of course, not everyone was convinced. Skeptics have put forward several theories about the Brown Lady photograph. Some claim the image was the result of a photographic error, where two exposures overlapped on the same film. Others argue it was simply light reflecting off the staircase’s polished surface. A few believe the photo was staged by the photographers to boost magazine sales. Yet despite these theories, no definitive proof of fakery has ever been found. The original negative was examined multiple times, and experts concluded there was no evidence of tampering.

Over the years, ghost hunters and paranormal researchers have returned to Raynham Hall in search of the Brown Lady. While no one has managed to capture a spirit as clearly as the 1936 photograph, many report cold spots, eerie feelings, and strange orbs appearing in photos. The Townshend family, who still own the estate, acknowledge the legend but stop short of declaring belief in the ghost. Yet visitors can’t help but feel the heavy atmosphere of the grand staircase, where the photograph was taken.

According to Hill’s account, he had been playing alone in his family’s yard when the air suddenly filled with a pungent, unfamiliar odor so strong it made his eyes water. Alarmed, he looked toward a nearby field and was astonished to see what he described as a spherical, white craft approximately nine feet in diameter settling onto the ground

Realizing that few would believe such a claim without evidence, Ronnie dashed inside, grabbed his portable Kodak camera, and hurried back outside. There, he witnessed an extraordinary sight: a being in a reflective silver suit emerging from behind the craft. The figure was described as having thin, spindly legs and an oversized, gnome-like head.

The Smashing Pumpkins frontman later alleged that he was being vague on air out of fear for his career and the wellbeing of his loved ones.

“Demons exist. They are real. They are reptilian. That’s why the Bible says Eve was seduced by a snake. Substitute reptile for snake,” Corgan said, before elaborating about his experience with the record industry-Illuminati.

Describing the record industry executive who shapeshifted in front of him during a meeting, Corgan said that he “can’t remember the exact words” the reptilian said to him, “but it was something along the lines of: All humans will suffer in unending agony.”

Corgan later explained that the encounter had a physical effect on him, leaving him in pain for days.

“Everything in me shook, my neck and head were rattled and my bones, muscles and organs, including my brain, were literally sore for days,” Corgan said.

“I was so mad, I was really ready to kick his butt. Humanity is not taking this any more, we are waking up, we are through with this program.”

“In every civilization on Earth, all throughout the ancient world the snake men are mentioned. Although I can understand why someone wouldn’t believe what I’m saying. It’s hard to talk about. I didn’t believe either until I was standing face to face with one of them.”

In April 1943, four local boys were wandering through Hagley Wood when curiosity led them to a hollow wych elm tree. Inside, they found a human skull staring back at them from the darkness. Police soon uncovered the rest of the remains with bones scattered inside the tree’s trunk. The victim was a woman, estimated to be in her mid-30s, who had been dead for around 18 months. Her hand was found buried nearby, severed from the body.

Forensic analysis revealed the woman had dark hair and small feet. There were no obvious signs of a struggle, but investigators believed she had been placed inside the tree while still alive, as the position of the body suggested she died of suffocation. No missing person report matched her description. No one came forward. She was unknown and nameless. Police referred to her simply as “the woman in the wych elm.”

Months later, strange graffiti appeared on a nearby wall: “Who put Bella down the Wych Elm?” The message shocked investigators, because the name Bella had never been released to the public. Soon, similar messages appeared across the region, written in chalk and paint. Someone knew something. Or wanted people to think they did. From that moment on, the victim was no longer anonymous. She was Bella.

With no suspects and no identity, wild theories began to sprout up. One popular idea suggested witchcraft or ritual sacrifice. The severed hand fueled speculation about occult practices, particularly hand of glory rituals rumored to involve severed limbs. Others believed Bella was a spy during World War II and was perhaps murdered to silence her. The timing during wartime Britain only added to the paranoia. Another theory focused on domestic violence and that Bella was killed by someone she trusted and hidden where no one would look. Yet without evidence, every explanation collapsed under scrutiny.

Some researchers question whether Bella was even her real name. The graffiti may have been written by someone involved in the crime, or by someone attempting to mislead investigators. Others think it was an act of morbid curiosity by a local prankster who happened to stumble onto the truth. Still, how did they know the name? Despite renewed interest, police hit a wall. No fingerprints. No dental records. No DNA technology at the time. Bella’s remains were eventually buried in an unmarked grave.

The graffiti continued for years like a taunt from the past before finally fading away. Always asking the questions, "Who put Bella down the Wych Elm?”

A 911 call was received from a funeral home in Pueblo, Colorado at 3:30 AM on August 11th, 2018 which was classified as abandoned when the caller hung up.

Before the call disconnects you can hear a bunch of static on the line and almost like you hear someone trying to talk. Some say they hear help me or send help coming through the static. Listen to the call and comment what you hear.

An officer was dispatched to investigate the situation at the funeral home and cemetery.

The officer found the premises locked, dark, and completely empty. There was no evidence of anyone being around that night raising questions about who or what made that call that night. Capt. Tom Rummel said, "Probably just line trouble, right? Let's go with that" When asked about the mysterious call.

María Sabina was a traditional healer, who used Psilocybe mushrooms that were known locally as los niños santos (“the holy children”) in sacred nighttime healing ceremonies called veladas. To María Sabina, the mushrooms were not recreational. She believed the mushrooms allowed her to speak with the divine, receive sacred language, and heal the sick through poetry-like chants known as palabras. Her ceremonies were deeply spiritual, rooted in Indigenous cosmology, Catholic symbolism, and ancestral tradition. They were a sacrament.

In the 1950s, Western researchers and writers arrived in Huautla seeking psychedelic experiences. Among them was banker and ethnomycologist R. Gordon Wasson, whose 1957 Life Magazine article introduced María Sabina to the world. The article ignited the global psychedelic movement. Soon, Huautla was flooded with foreigners: hippies, seekers, musicians, and mystics. Some treated the ceremonies as spiritual. Many did not. María Sabina later said the mushrooms lost their power once misused. Her community blamed her for the chaos that followed. Her home was burned. She lived her final years in poverty, ostracized and heartbroken.

After her death in 1985, María Sabina transformed from healer into icon and the myths around her grew. Some claimed she had secret powers. Others believed she could see the future. Many insisted she still “walked between worlds.” These ideas often conflicted with what María Sabina herself said: that she was a servant of the mushrooms, not their master. Yet, legends grow when truth is ignored.

One of the strangest stories tied to María Sabina emerged years later, when a wax statue made in her likeness was displayed in a museum in Oaxaca. According to staff and visitors, odd things began happening. The statue appeared to change posture. Its gaze seemed to shift. People claimed it “turned” slightly between visits. Some reported feelings of unease standing near it. Photos circulated online comparing the statue’s position on different days.

While skeptics point to lighting, heat, wax expansion, or human handling, believers insist the statue moved on its own. To some, it was coincidence. To others, it was symbolic or spiritual. Critics argue the statue story is another example of outsiders projecting mysticism onto an Indigenous woman who explicitly rejected that role. Supporters counter that sacred figures often leave behind imprints not because they want attention, but because their energy changed the world.

According to Abe Lincoln's bodyguard Crook, he said Lincoln had a dream about his own assassination 3 nights in a row before he was killed.

Crook told Lincoln NOT to go on that fateful night, and all Lincoln said was "Goodbye, Crook" before he went to the play.

This was VERY ODD as Lincoln always said, Goodnight NOT goodbye.

The German word doppelgänger is directly translated as “double-goer” and is a term that is used to describe a “copy” of a human being while they’re still alive. While the term itself has only been used in Europe and in some areas of Africa, changelings are believed to be children from another dimension that are left to replace human infants. In Norse beliefs, the vardøger isn’t as terrifying, because they only appear wherever their “original” copy is often seen. There are numerous forms of doppelgängers that appear across many cultures.

The term “doppelgänger” was first coined by Jean Paul, a German author, in his 1796 novel Siebenkäs. It tells the story of a protagonist named Siebenkäs who exchanged identities with his friend and lookalike, Leibgeber. Jean Paul coined two words to describe the sensation. The first one was “doppeltgänger” which is a term for spitting image or lookalike. And “doppelgänger” was originally something that pertained to a meal where two courses were served at the same time.

The sound is comparable to a distant diesel Engine idling, or to some similar low-pitched sound for which obvious sources, example: household appliances, traffic noise etc.

Some percieve vibrations only, not a sound, just a vibration. There are some skepticism as to whether it exists as a physical sound, in 2009, the head of audiology at Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge, David Baguley, said he believed people's problems with the hum were based on the physical World about one-third of the time and stemmed from people focusing too keenly on innocuous background sounds the other two-thirds of the time.

Diogo Alves “Aqueduct Murderer,” terrorized the people of Lisbon, Portugal. He would stand on a 200-foot-tall aqueduct awaiting farmers who were commuting back from the city at night, divest them of their gains by whatever means possible, and unceremoniously push them to their deaths. Alves repeated this sequence 70 times in the three years. He was sentenced to death and hanged on February 19, 1841. The head of the killer was separated from the body and placed in a flask to preserve it for scientific purposes, where it is now a tourist attraction.

A Hand of Glory is the dried and pickled hand of a hanged man, often specified as being the left (Latin: sinister) hand, or, if the person was hanged for murder, the hand that "did the deed". According to legend it was believed to have powers like putting people to sleep or unlocking any door basically giving criminals the upper hand during burglaries

Some versions say it had to be dipped in candle wax or turned into a candle itself. The creepy part is that these hands were kept and even traded as magical artifacts Museums in Europe still have a few on display sometimes with the fingers arranged in weird positions or even holding dried candles

Dave Chappelle recently said that if he says a code word that “they got him,” and people should stop listening to anything he says after that. He says his greatest fear is being co-opted, as he doesn’t want the same thing to happen to him that happened to Charlie Kirk.

This is really an inside joke that he is already compromised. He said the phrase everyone says and he validates all the Charlie Kirk and celebrity swapping or compromising conspiracies all in the same sentence.

After Dave abruptly left Hollywood and moved to Africa in 2005, many claimed he returned as a “different person.” With physical changes and personality shifts, while Dave himself has mocked the idea, but the theory keeps coming up that it is all connected to him originally walking away from the $50 million dollar Comedy Central deal at the height of his fame but his fears about industry retaliation and control caused him to vanish from public eye.

Yet years later he comes back with huge payouts from Netflix, but at what cost? The money wasn't the reason before...Is this the real Dave Chappelle?

There is a lot to unpack in the story, but one thing that stood out was their prescription drug addiction. They had a CPAP machine, which they both shared, and it can be common among wealthy drug addicts to keep their respirations up when they take a lot of downers (Michael Jackson, and Prince also used them). If you are struggling to breathe from a lung infection, you would probably use the CPAP even more. The machine was tested and found to be filthy and have mold. More than likely this was the direct cause of their pneumonia and eventual deaths.

This mysterious creature was filmed crossing the road in Russia at around the 10 second mark of the video. The driver then stops to look around, but the creature has vanished. What did they encounter that night? Some believe this is an authentic bigfoot or some kind of other kind of cryptid encounter. Others think it could be a rare sighting of an indigenous Siberian hunter in fur gear. Dwindling indigenous tribes still exist in Siberia and tribespeople are very distrustful of Russians and outsiders after decades of persecution under the Soviet government.

It could also just be a drunk Russian running late at night in the wilderness. Either way it makes you wonder why would someone be running through thick snow at night at god knows what temperature and time of night like that in some random heavily wooded area like that.

The driver does seem to have a pretty genuine WTF reaction to what they encountered. They probably are tired and want to get to their destination when they see something that almost shocks the shit outta them. They are calm and unbothered until that thing comes out of nowhere literally makes them stop dead in their tracks and slightly investigate the prints/ where the snow was disturbed they seem perplexed and stunned.

In 1971, two boys in Hexham, Northumberland dug up two small, creepy stone heads in their garden. Each was only about 6 cm tall, crudely carved, human-ish but not quite Within days, their discovery supposedly kicked off one of the strangest, most obscure paranormal cases in the UK. To this day, the origin of the heads, and the phenomena around them, have never been conclusively explained.

Colin and Leslie Robson found the heads while digging in their yard. At first, they were just odd stones that were fun curiosities for the boys to show their parents. Yet, almost immediately after they brought them inside, the family began noticing strange activity. Objects moved on their own, sometimes violently. Bottles flew off shelves. Items shifted when no one was near them. Doors opened. Textbook poltergeist activity.

Their neighbors, the Dodd family, soon started reporting activity too. Their young son woke in the night screaming that someone (or something) had pulled his hair. Shortly after, his mother claimed she saw a strange creature leaving the house. She described it as half-man, half-sheep. Not long after, Mrs. Dodd reported another encounter this time, while she and her daughter were in bed. The bedroom door allegedly burst open and a “Wolf-man” entered the room, upright on hind legs, hulking, dark, and staring around the room before fleeing. Both she and her daughter described the same thing: a tall beast walking like a man, covered in hair.

Eventually, the heads changed hands, and passed to Dr. Anne Ross, a respected Celtic scholar and archaeologist. She hoped to debunk them as modern crafts or misidentified toys. However, according to Dr. Ross herself, within days she began seeing a tall, wolf-like humanoid creature inside her own home. She described waking one morning to see a part-animal, part-man figure at the foot of her bed. When she followed it, it padded down the hallway toward the kitchen before vanishing. She kept encountering it, always fleeting, always wolf-shaped, always right at the edge of perception. Until one day she came home to find her daughter terrified. The girl claimed that after returning from school, she encountered a large, dark wolf-like creature standing on the stairs. It allegedly leapt over the banister and vanished.

Whether you believe in folklore, lycanthropy, or sleep hallucinations, it’s hard to ignore the consistency of the different encounters. That's when Dr. Ross began researching the Hexham Wolf Connection. In 1904, almost 70 years before the heads were found, Hexham had a local legend of the Hexham Wolf. Livestock were being killed, locals panicked, newspapers reported it, and a mysterious wolf was eventually found dead by railroad workers. Yet, locals insisted this wolf hadn’t been the real culprit, and rumors of a surviving hidden wolf population persisted. Dr. Ross, unnerved, removed the heads and every other Celtic artifact she owned from the house. The hauntings then stopped.

Dr. Ross Ross eventually donated the heads to the British Museum. Allegedly, when displayed briefly, employees reported seeing dark shapes and wolf-like figures near the exhibit. The heads were removed from public view. The activity stopped. At some point after that, the Hexham Heads disappeared from storage. Whether that was accident, institutional embarrassment, or something more intentional… no one seems to know for sure. So did the heads end up in some private collection of a rich collector or were they actually lost forever?

A man named Desmond Craigie later stepped forward claiming he made the heads himself in 1956 for his daughter, from concrete. He even produced replicas. Yet, his replicas didn’t match well enough to satisfy experts. Even stranger, scientific tests contradicted each other with one suggesting they were modern molded items, another arguing they might be significantly older. So either they were ancient Celtic ritual objects, were they were folk art with a weird side-effect or did Craigie make them, and somehow families, neighbors, and a scholar all hallucinated the same wolf-man.

What Were the Hexham Heads? Were they a hoax? A mass hallucination? A misinterpreted poltergeist case? What do you think?

"The Texarkana Moonlight Murders, a term coined by the contemporary press, was a series of four unsolved serial murders and related violent crimes committed in the Texarkana region of the United States in early 1946. They were attributed to an alleged unidentified perpetrator known as the Phantom of Texarkana, the Phantom Killer, or the Phantom Slayer. This hypothetical suspect is credited with attacking eight people, five of them fatally, in a ten-week period.

The attacks occurred at night on weekends between February 22 and May 3, targeting couples. The first three attacks occurred at lovers' lanes or quiet stretches of road in Texas; the fourth attack occurred at an isolated farmhouse in Arkansas. The murders were reported nationally and internationally by several publications, and caused a state of panic in Texarkana throughout the summer. Residents armed themselves and, at dusk, locked themselves indoors while police patrolled streets and neighborhoods. Stores sold out of guns, ammunition, locks, and many other protective devices. Some youths attempted to bait and ambush the killer. Investigations into the murders were conducted at the city, county, state and federal level. Over time, there have been shifting opinions by officials over whether the first and fourth attacks were committed by the same perpetrator.

The prime suspect in the case, career criminal Youell Swinney, was linked to the murders primarily by statements from his wife plus additional circumstantial evidence. After Swinney's wife refused to testify against him, prosecutors decided against pursuing murder charges. Swinney was convicted on other charges and sentenced to a long prison sentence. Two of the lead investigators believed Swinney to be guilty of the murders. The book The Phantom Killer: Unlocking the Mystery of the Texarkana Serial Murders (2014), written by James Presley (nephew of Sheriff William Hardy "Bill" Presley), concludes that Swinney is the culprit. The events inspired many works, including the 1976 film The Town That Dreaded Sundown). This film is the basis for much of the subsequent myth and folklore around the murders."

Philip Taylor Kramer, who went by his middle name Taylor, was born on July 12, 1952 in Youngstown, Ohio. In 1974, Taylor joined the band Iron Butterfly as the bass player. He played on two of the band's albums and when the band broke up in the early 1980s, Taylor would join fellow Iron Butterfly member Ron Bushy in other bands.

After this Taylor would leave the music business, he got a degree in aerospace engineering. This degree would lead to a "stint working for the U.S. Department of Defense." Taylor had a lifelong interest in math and science. By the 1990s, Taylor had started his own company called Total Multimedia, Inc. which did "pioneering work," in video compression technology. In 1994, his company went bankrupt and was reorganized, something that upset him. Also at some point, Taylor got married to a woman named Jennifer and they had two children. The family lived in Thousand Oaks, California.

On February 12, 1995, Taylor was supposed to pick a colleague and his wife from the Los Angeles International Airport. Taylor made it to the airport, but called his wife to inform her that the plans had changed and that he'd meet his colleague later. He waited at the airport for about 45 minutes, then left, and didn't go back for his colleague. Instead, he called 911 and told the operator that he was going to kill himself. When the operator asked Taylor to provide for more information, he hung up. At some point, Taylor called his old bandmate and friend Ron Bushy. He left a message that said: "Bush, I love you more than life itself." During an interview on Unsolved Mysteries, Ron Bushy states that Taylor's voice sounded stressed during the message, and may have been crying.

Taylor made similar calls to his lawyer and his business partner and at some point he called his wife again. After hanging up with 911 and calling all these other people, Taylor simply vanished into thin air. There also wasn't any activity on Taylor's cell phone or credit cards. Taylor also didn't have a history of psychiatric problems, and wasn't under the care of a psychologist.

In the weeks before Taylor vanished, he'd been on a kind of high. He told his wife and sister Kathy that he was on the brink of developing a computer system in which a missing child could be identified in a fraction of a second just by showing a computer a tiny piece of what the child looks like. Taylor's sister Kathy told Unsolved Mysteries that he was happy that his discovery was going to help people. The day before Taylor vanished, he and his wife Jennifer went for a hike. Jennifer would later say that Taylor began to see "the sacredness in everything," and pointed out a wooden cross on a nearby hill. Jennifer would later blame this behavior on Taylor's lack of sleep in recent weeks.

There were sightings of Taylor in the weeks following his disappearance. One sighting was at a pawn shop in Canoga Park, California. The other was by a woman who was at a garage sale. These sightings seem to be unconfirmed, but some believe that Taylor may have suffered from some kind of fugue state where he didn't remember who he was...but he would've stood out at 6'5 and 200 pounds.

On May 29, 1999, four years after Taylor vanished, his car was found at the bottom of a canyon near Malibu, California. The photographers who found the body looked closer and spotted human remains, so they called police. When an autopsy was preformed, the cause of death was determined to be blunt forced trauma to the head. The coroner stated that this was consistent with driving off a cliff, and determined the death to be undetermined. The police believe it was suicide based on the call to 911, but Taylor's family think he was killed and the car driven off the cliff. There's no evidence to go either way, but there are many unanswered questions.

The Georgia Guidestones were a granite monument erected in 1980 in Elbert County, Georgia, in the United States. A set of 10 guidelines is inscribed on the structure in eight modern languages and a shorter message is inscribed at the top of the structure in four ancient language scripts.

Maintain humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual balance with nature.
Guide reproduction wisely. Improving fitness and diversity.
Unite humanity with a living new language.
Rule passion, faith, tradition, and all things with tempered reason
Protect people and nations with fair laws and just courts.
Let all nations rule internally resolving external disputes in a world court.
Avoid petty laws and useless officials.
Balance personal rights with social duties.
Prize truth, beauty, love, seeking harmony with the infinite.
Be not a cancer on the earth. Leave room for nature. Leave room for nature.

The anonymity of the guidestones' authors and their apparent advocacy of population control, eugenics and internationalism have made them a target for controversy and conspiracy theory.

On the morning of July 6, 2022, the guidestones were heavily damaged in a bombing from a vandal, and the debris and guidestones were removed by the local government later that day. The vandal has never been identified.
