Decemystery 6: The Isdal Woman

Who are you?

There are no doubt more than a few unsolved murders that could be explained as Cold War espionage—and we'll be covering two with this miniseries. The first of those is probably the more blatantly obvious and less known of the two: the Isdal Woman.

Decemystery 5: The NASA Gargoyle

Brood with him, lads!

I was tempted to not include this mystery due to its similarity to Point Pleasant's legendary Mothman. But, I wanted the entries in this miniseries to be as diverse as possible, and the NASA Gargoyle was bizarre enough that leaving it out felt criminal.

Decemystery 4: Lost Boy Larry

There's no picture of “Larry”, so here's a picture of a CB Radio.

Hoaxes. They're nothing new. Balloon Boy, the Surgeon's Photo, and pretty much every Bigfoot corpse ever found. Horses are a staple of unsolved mysteries. Still, not every mystery that's accused of being a hoax is proven to be one. There always exists that realm of possibility that, against all odds, it's real.

That's where the story of Lost Boy Larry is unlike the vast majority of others in this miniseries. It's the only one that many have come to a solid, and agreeable, conclusion on. Mainly, that it's a hoax. But is it really a hoax?

Most likely.

Still, I wanted a really good example of a mystery that's likely to be a hoax, but isn't too far out there as to come across as blatantly fake (as you'll see on Christmas Day). So, let's dive into a canyon and see if we can't find the lost boy known as Larry.

Decemystery 3: The Georgia Guidestones

Illuminati confirmed...?

Conspiracy theories and unsolved mysteries go hand in hand like The Fourth of July and a barbeque. Examples of this include the assassination of former United States president, John F. Kennedy, any sort of supposed UFO crash (including one we'll be covering towards the tail end of the month), and today's mystery: the Georgia Guidestones.

Decemystery 2: The Atlas Vampire

Stories of vampires date back farther than I care to remember. Bloodsucking terrors of the night with large canines that can transform into bats. That said, they're merely works of fiction; stories meant to keep their reader awake at night shivering.

That's where stories like the Chupacabra rear their ugly head—presenting the exsanguinated corpses of cattle as its grisly prizes to unfortunate farmers. Whether or not those killings are the work of a mutant canine or alien is up for debate, though it's often agreed upon it isn't a vampire. After all, no humans were harmed.

And that's true. The Chupacabra hasn't claimed any humans—yet anyways. However, if we take a trip back to 1932 and go to Stockholm, Sweden, we'll find that there was one person who was ahead of his time. Someone who almost no doubt had some sort of obsession with vampires. They came and went in the snap of a finger and left behind arguably one of history's most unnerving unsolved murders.

They were simply known as the Atlas Vampire.

Decemystery 1: The Publius Enigma

"A spokesperson for Pink Floyd has issued the following statement: You have spotted the Pink Floyd Airship. Do not be alarmed. Pink Floyd have sent their airship to North America to deliver a message. The Pink Floyd Airship is headed towards a destination where all will be explained upon arrival. Pink Floyd will communicate."

The internet has provided the world with near infinite access to information. In spite of that, it’s also brought about its fair share of mysteries that, as you’ll see in coming days, can be just as mystifying as any unsolved murder or disappearance.

For the first mystery this month, we'll be doing a quick look over of the Publius Enigma.

This was meant to come out weeks ago. Life happens though. A special thanks to my friend James for editing this entry and the previous one by the way. You rock.
