01. the taos hum
I
n the small town of Taos, New Mexico, there is a certain buzz often . heard on the horizon that can be compared to the sound of a distant . diesel engine. It is a humming sound that is very disorienting for a person who experiences it and it seems to have an effect on people-it has been known to cause insomnia and/or sleep disturbances, nausea, headaches, dizziness and nosebleeds. Needless to say, it can be very irritating for hearers, Although it can be heard by the naked ear, various sound detection devices are not able to pick it up. This is known as the Taos Hum and up to this day, no one still knows how this sound is being created.

11. Voynich Manuscript
T
he Voynich manuscript was written in a language that men . through the centuries have tried to decode to no avail. The only idea anyone has of its origin are the drawings found on various pages.The book has been carbon-dated to the early 15th century (1404–1438), and may have been composed in Northern Italy during the Italian Renaissance. The manuscript is named after Wilfrid Voynich, a Polish book dealer who purchased it in 1912. The pages of the codex are vellum. Some of the pages are missing, but about 240 remain. The text is written from left to right, and most of the pages have illustrations or diagrams. Many people have suggested different theories for deciphering the text, while some believe its just pure nonsense and might be a hoax. Whatever it may be, but to this day the manuscript remains a confusing mystery.

J
ust outside the CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia, you will . behold a statue that has coded encryptions on its surface. This . very captivating sculpture was created by Jim Sanborn to show . that everything can be resolved and decoded with the use of patterns and clues. Of the four inscription sections that were included, only the first three have been cracked. But the fourth? Not even the brilliant minds in the CIA were able to get to the bottom of it.

ack in December 1948, an unidentified man was found dead . in Somerton Beach, located in Adelaide, Australia. Found in . one of his pockets was a piece of paper with the words “Tamam Shud” written on it. The words were translated “finished” or “ended” based on excerpts found in The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam.

With them the seed of Wisdom did I sow, And with mine own hand wrought to make it grow; And this was all the Harvest that I reap'd-"I came like Water, and like Wind I go." Ommar Khayam - The Rubaiyat

v. La isla de la Munecas - the island of dolls
T
his place becoming a popular travel destination, almost every single tree is decorated with deformed and mutilated dolls. The dolls almost seem evil and I seriously wonder where one would buy such creepy dolls. As you walk the island, it supposedly feels like you are being watched at all times. Well of course creepy toys aren’t enough to make this a candidate for scariest place in the world. You guessed it, the island is supposedly haunted! Even though the island is totally abandoned, over 50 years ago, a man named Don Julian Santana left his wife and kids and moved there to live the rest of his life alone. .
When he was living there, the body of a dead little girl came floating up in one of the canals. Don Julian thought he had become haunted by her spirit. He began to collect dolls and decorate the island with them. He would trade vegetables and fruits in exchange for any dolls. The dolls were believed to be used by Don Julian as a shrine for the spirit that haunted him. Over the 50 years that he lived there, he continuously collected dolls and decorated them all over the island, until he died.

T
he Shroud of Turin or Turin Shroud is a length of linen cloth . bearing the image of a man who appears to have suffered . physical trauma in a manner consistent with crucifixion. There is no consensus yet on exactly how the image was created, and it is believed by some to be the burial shroud of Jesus of Nazareth, despite radiocarbon dating placing its origins in the Medieval period.

v11. Phaistos Disc
T
he mystery of the Phaistos Disc is a story that sounds like . something out of an Indiana Jones movie. Discovered by Italian . archaeologist Luigi Pernier in 1908 in the Minoan palace-site of Phaistos, the disc is made of fired clay and contains mysterious symbols that may represent an unknown form of hieroglyphics. It is believed that it was designed sometime in the second millennium BC. Some scholars believe that the hieroglyphs resemble symbols of Linear A and Linear B, scripts once used in ancient Crete. The only problem? Linear A also eludes decipherment. Today the disc remains one of the most famous puzzles of archaeology.

v111. Shugborough inscription
L
ook from afar at the 18th-century Shepherd's Monument in . Staffordshire, England, and you might take it as nothing more . than a sculpted re-creation of Nicolas Poussin's famous painting, “Arcadian Shepherds.” Look closer, though, and you'll notice a curious sequence of letters: DOUOSVAVVM — a code that has eluded decipherment for over 250 years. Though the identity of the code carver remains a mystery, some have speculated that the code could be a clue left behind by the Knights Templar about the whereabouts of the Holy Grail. Many of the world's greatest minds have tried to crack the code and failed, including Charles Dickens and Charles Darwin.
