Most people have heard of an incident, event, place, or strange happening that has no known nor “humanly rational” explanation. It might be something that they’ve heard about in passing, but never knew much about, such as UFO sightings at Utah’s Skinwalker Ranch, made either famous or infamous by numerous television shows; the Philadelphia Experiment, where a naval ship allegedly teleported to Virginia; or the Jersey Devil, a mythological creature said to inhabit New Jersey’s Pine Barrens. It could also be something that steered them to find out just a little bit more, a historically famous event that defies explanation, such as the 1959 deaths of nine Soviet skiers in the Urals, or the case of the Mary Celeste sailing ship, found intact but deserted in 1872.
VERDICT Dedicating a few paragraphs per “kuriosity,” blogger Sebastian (morbidkuriosity.com) provides a one-stop shop for curious readers that highlights the essential details of phenomena that cannot be explained rationally or scientifically. For the naturally curious and those who enjoy a challenge to their understanding of the world, and indeed, the cosmos.
