What do you think about this? Bodie, California froze in place when the gold ran out, tables still set, goods still on the shelves. Take a souvenir and people say the bad luck follows you home. Rangers get the pieces mailed back with apology letters. Guilt, or a real curse?
What do you think about this? In 1948 a well dressed man was found dead on an Adelaide beach with no wallet, no labels in his clothes, and a scrap in his fob pocket reading Tamam Shud. The code in the matching book has never been cracked. What happened to him?
What do you think about this? In 1531 a peasant opened his cloak near Mexico City and an image of a woman was on the cloth. It still hangs five hundred years later. The Church calls it a miracle, skeptics keep looking for the brushstrokes. What is really on the tilma?
What do you think about this? In 1974 a farmer in Sardinia struck stone and uncovered an army of giants, dozens of statues over seven feet tall with double circle eyes, around three thousand years old. Someone smashed them and buried them. What were the giants meant to be?
What do you think about this? On the coast of Brittany stand more than three thousand stones in rows that run for miles, raised before Stonehenge and before the pyramids. Nobody left an explanation. A lost astronomy, a forgotten faith, or something we have no word for?
What do you think about this? In 1963 a man in Turkey knocked out a basement wall and found a city cut eighteen levels down, with stone doors that sealed from the inside and room for twenty thousand people. Nobody is certain who dug it. What were they hiding from?
What do you think about this? In 1934 the LA Times ran a front page story about a labyrinth under downtown built by an ancient Lizard People. The city let a mining engineer sink a shaft 250 feet down. Then the money ran out. A fantasy, or a real anomaly under the city?
What do you think about this? In Cholula, Mexico there is a hill with a pretty yellow church on top. It is the largest pyramid ever built, bigger by volume than Giza, swallowed by grass until it looked like ordinary ground. Lost knowledge, deliberate burial, or just time?
What do you think about this? A short boat ride from Venice sits Poveglia, an island so tied to plague dead and a shuttered asylum that it has been closed to visitors for decades. Fishermen steer around it. Grim history and imagination, or ground that holds onto something?
What do you think about this? In October 1967 villagers in Shag Harbour, Nova Scotia watched an object with four lights drop into the water. The Navy sent divers for days and found only yellow foam. Canada’s own files still list it as unidentified. A meteor, or something else?
