The Count of St. Germain

The self-named Count of St. Germain aka "The Wonderman" was known as a courtier, an adventurer, an inventor, a scientist, a violinist, a composer, a pianist, a charlatan, but above all else, a very mysterious gentleman. Although his origins are unknown, and as he disappeared without leaving a trace, his date of death is thought to be February 27, 1784. Since then, many occult organizations have made him into their figurehead and have even attributed him with having god-like powers. It is interesting to note that from time to time people claim to be the Count of St. Germain to this day.

The Black Dahlia

The Black Dahlia was the name given to 22 year old fledgling actress and murder victim, Elizabeth Short, who was found severed in two and artfully arranged in a section of grass near a parking lot in Los Angeles, CA in 1947. Her death spawned one of the largest police investigations in Los Angeles history. The Black Dahlia's killer has never been identified.

The Taos Hum

The Taos Hum is a low-pitched sound heard in numerous places throughout the world, with the most reports coming from Taos, New Mexico. It has proven to be undetectable by microphones or "VLF antennae". Its source and nature are a complete mystery. In 1997 Congress had a study conducted in an attempt to uncover answers relating to the odd noise, but to this day, none have been found.

The Mary Celeste

The Mary Celeste was a Canadian merchant ship that first set sail in 1860. For ten years the ship was owned by several different people, ending up in a New York salvage auction where it was purchased and put under American registry. On November 7, 1872 the Mary Celeste set sail for the last time from New York with its new owners on board: Captain Benjamin Briggs, his wife and daughter, and a crew of eight. They were never heard from again. One month later, the ship was found floating in the Strait of Gibraltar, unmanned and apparently abandoned. There were no signs of struggle.

The Shroud of Turin

The Shroud of Turin is a cloth that appears to bear the image of a crucified man. It is believed to be the burial shroud of Jesus of Nazareth. The cloth was first discovered in the 1800s. The shroud has been the topic of hot debate among scientists and theologians ever since. The faithful believe that Jesus' image was transferred onto the cloth during his resurrection. Radiocarbon testing has been performed but officials can not agree on the results. No one knows how the image of a man's face came to be on the cloth.
