This is what Peter Gabriel wrote Moribund the Burganmiester about.

This sounds like a short horror story.

Here's a bona-fide Liverpool unsolved mystery. It takes a bit of reading but is worth every minute, and if you know all the locations as I do, you'll be travelling around the city thinking about it.

These two are disproven, I think.

This one is totally true though. No evidence to conclude either way.

Yeah I think the first two are just 'creepypasta' - basically the internet version of campfire ghost stories.

That Wallace murder case is baffling though. Interesting stuff.

I was thinking of starting a cryptid thread - everyone loves freaky animals, but I'm too lazy so I'll just whack it here.

A particularly interesting case is the Spiny-backed chimp - first reportedly spotted by the US Navy in the Democratic Congo between 1997 and 2002

.....the unit's team encountered 13 bipedal chimpanzees that were attempting to kill another animal. Standing 4.5-5 ft high, they were uniformly grey in colour, but by far their most distinctive feature was the series of spines running down each chimp's back, which stood up like porcupine quills whenever the chimps became agitated.


Coudray also stated that the team actually shot a three-minute video film of these extraordinary apes, but that it remains a military secret. The precise location of this sighting is unknown, but as the team was from the US Navy and the Democratic Congo is virtually landlocked, it may have been somewhere close to Lake Tanganyika.

I found this explanation to those Toynbee Tiles

"The man who makes them doesn't come out of his house much. He has no floorboard in his car and drops the tiles through there onto the streets. The meaning of the tiles is that a man Toynbee believed if you rearranged a dead person's molecules the same way they were before they died, they could be resurrected. 2001 A Space Odyssey depicted this idea and he was trying to spread this idea to the public to escape death."
