- From prehistory through modern-day occurrences, history offers some pretty fascinating stories and information. It also, as often as not, leaves observers wanting more. Simply put, history is full of questions - and Redditors want answers.
In a recent Reddit thread, individuals chimed in on which historical mysteries they wondered about and really wanted to be solved. Their contributions ran the gamut from political conspiracies to secret identities to some fascinating "what-could-have-beens" through the ages.

Life just doesn't get any better than Weird History. I need the narrator on my voice mail lol.
I’d pay for it
That would be awesome.
And people wonder why we get upset when any other narrator does it smh
Or as a GPS voice
Seriously it's even worse than infographic show for lazy research.
Sea People have always just sounded like Vikings.
Sea people = Vikings
Vikings = pirates (sort of)
So, may we assume that sea people = Viking pirates!
If there's one thing I'll forever be pissed about, it's the loss of the Library of Alexandria. So much history and culture wiped clean, just like that.
by the time it burned almost everything in it was already taken to other places. Almost nothing was lost
@@chowsu944Besides, wasn't it burned down about four times before they finally had enough and abandoned it...?
@@mikitz yeah thats about right
Nothing is scarier than the OG unsolved mysteries theme
I see your unsolved mysteries theme and rise you tales from the Darkside's theme lol
@charles tucker
Hmm
Exorcist
All episodes are here on youtube.
What Disney character solved the most mysteries?
Quasimodo. He always had a hunch.
The lose of the Library at Alexandria was one of historys worst lose of collective knowledge ever. 😢😢
Thts where the instructions for the pyramids were
*loss
If you ever do a part two of this topic, may I suggest the Princes in the Tower? Their disappearance will likely never be truly solved since it’s unlikely a reigning British monarch will allow DNA testing of the bones found at the foot of the stairs that were subsequently interred prominently in an urn at one of the Abbeys.
They must’ve seen your comment!
@@cammyseitz3062 wow, good spotting this! I commented on the new video about it this morning ☺️ It’s kind of cool to see a video made that I suggested. I imagine other people probably have, too, over the years though 🙂
The people at Roanoke supposedly refused to eat the abundant seafood yards away from their settlement and most of them refused to do any substantial agricultural work to prepare for winter because they thought they were above that kind of thing. Only lowly peasants did that sort of thing in their estimation. This shows that hubris and pride can be deadly.
They instead were hoping to find gold or silver mines and have natives work them for easy money as they believed the native Americans would be submissive and see the colonists as masters. Yeah, hubris and pride is right
Eh, I don't think they chose to starve rather than to work. My understanding was it was more "They were fancy gentlefolk who didn't know much about farming, fishing or hunting." So not that they were above doing work to live, rather that they didn't know what they were doing.
Yes a lot of people love a good mystery that is why Scooby-Doo has been around for decades.
Those meddling kids!
Yikes 😂
My mystery is who stole my car from my house in the spring of this year. Then abandoned it on a side street and filled the interior with garbage.
Your ex girlfriend.
One mystery I find interesting is why Cahokia was totally abandoned by the Native Americans who lived there. It appears to have been quite sudden. I suspect giants....
Sasquatch
We have the same profile pic.
I think we all really like to know, who killed Disco?
Disco committed suicide...
Some say it was a a Chicago DJ named Steve Dahl
Disco has never really left.
At least we know video killed the radio star :/
@@cammyseitz3062 DAMN! I was just going to say the same thing
I've done a video on the mysterious disappearance of 5 men from Bermagui, NSW over 100 years ago. That's a mystery I'd definitely love to solve, but I doubt it will ever be solved to everyone's satisfaction.
7:46 The tv series Lost is a great example of the island adventure, stemming from the tradition of stories like The Island of Dr. Moreau, Robinson Crusoe, The Mysterious Island, and Swiss Family Robinson.
I like the Swiss family Robinson tv show
@@abdulsmith9298 I do too!
@@btetschner that tv show made me fall in love with Great Danes! That show made me believe that the Great Danes could beat a tiger or a lion 😂😂😂 that was my show for real
@@abdulsmith9298 I might need to watch that again sometime...I do remember thinking it was great to watch.
@@btetschner Absolutely! I think i might watch it again myself since you said something 🤣
0:01 Can't wait to see A Haunting in Venice!
I hope that more films are made from classic Murder Mystery stories!
The "sea peoples" were the CRETANS, otherwise known as the "Minoans", who had a great maritime Mediterranean Empire at the time until the 1200's BC. Their power inspired the mainland Greek legend of Theseus and the Minotaur. Minos was regarded as such a powerful king he became legendary as one of the Three Judges of the Dead in Hades.
The great "pagan" (meaning PRE-Christian) libraries of antiquity were SHUT DOWN (and eventually dispersed) along with the academies of the great philosophy schools by order of the Byzantine Emperor Justinian in the 599's AC. Too bad. Great LOSS thanks to hypocritical FANATICS!! His WIFE Theodora was a WHORE!! Literally!!
Most likely the Roanoke colonists moved INLAND to escape 🌀 storms, which would have been a previously UNexperienced shock to them. The Croatoan tribe did NOT inhabit any of the outer banks islands as their territory; they KNEW about the hurricanes and there WASN'T enough natural resources on the islands to sustain them. They lived where the CROATOAN game preserve and nature parks are located now.
The artist Walter Sickert created the persona of "Jack the Ripper" and committed at least some of the killings. The pathologists did the "rippings" to mutilate the bodies for further hyping the sensationalism of what was secretly a MASONIST Conspiracy to effectively "encourage" morals. 😁
The assassin who fired the fatal head shot that killed JFK was at the fourth 🌲 from the left behind the fence.
I KNEW this smart-ass narrator attitude was for COVERING UP the Kennedy assassination conspiracy!! "NO evidence of conspiracy"??!! It's EVERYWHERE..... which is why the controversy about the event has gone on so long!! 😎
The Vatican's Secret Archives would extend back to the beginning of the Holy Roman Empire in the 800's AC instituted by Charlemagne and Pope LeoIII if they go back 12 centuries!!
The most notable events that occurred since THAT time were the 13th and 14th century persecutions of the Cathars and the Knights Templards and the rise of Freemasonry. The latter would be a VERY controversial subject! 😁 The most recent would be the infiltration of the Vatican by Satanists and the Mafioli! 😎
0:06 I am waiting to see Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery (2022) for a special occasion.
The first one was incredible!
5:44 I go to my hometown library every week!
Also, my father renovated the Carnegie Library into an apartment-style residence when the library moved to another location.
5:44 Interlibrary Loan (ILL) is the best!
I acquired the classic Australian novel Picnic At Hanging Rock (1967) using its services, it was actually not in any American library at the time!
I've spent a lot of time in the Vatican Archives for a couple years when I was a younger man, lots of interesting and historic papers endless rows of things written by Popes, history of the Roman Catholic church, they have papers that go back to the 1st Pope, there is a archival room with artifacts of the church but I was never allowed to see the room.
8:38 I remember going to see From Hell (2001) in the theaters, it was great!
It is about the pursuit of Jack The Ripper by Frederick Abberline (played by Johnny Depp).
It also has Robbie Coltrane in it. such a good movie
Well now I wanna know what mysteries people DON'T want solved... there's always gotta be a crazy story there, y'know?
The stuff that surrounds Brian Epstein and his death in prison.
I'd be cool just knowing who took my kids bike. 😠
I'm sorry. I can't imagine what kind of a-hole would steal a kid's bike.
It’s my fault we are new to the neighborhood. Shoulda known better
@@Checkz_over_Stripez That's even worse. That's one hell of a way to welcome you to the neighborhood. If I was your neighbor I'd probably bring you over a batch of cookies. I hope you catch the jerk.
@@TheOfficialTarynTots Thanks
I just want say thank you so much for our narrator to read a d make all this boring dusty history very important and exciting! Much respect. ❤
One mystery I want solved is why someone types like this?
Here's a Philippine unsolved mystery. The disappearance of Benigno Ramos.
Benigno Ramos was a hardcore Filipino Nationalist who ended up collaborating with the Japanese during the occupation in WW2 with the motive of independence from the United States.
The mystery is that he disappeared from the records before 1945 came. His last records were only rumours that he died amongst the Japanese escaping through an airfield. But no one knows truly his fate.
Adobo. RIP
That's quite the coincidence, I recently started writing a mystery novel!
... Or did I? 🧐🤷♀️
Nope hahsja😮😮ha😊ha😮
it’s a mystery
Love the New Logo.
It never occurred to me that the library at Alexandria could've met its end due to theft or non-returns, but i'm remembering how much i 'informally borrowed' from the public library or just figured nobody else was making use of so didn't rush to return.
oops.
Also, who were behind the "Max Headroom incident"??
Awesome as always thanks
Wow, this video is fantastic! 👏 The mystery of Jack the Ripper is also incredibly intriguing 👀
A+ video!
Awesome topic and histories!
I want the Dyatlov Pass tragedy to be solved.
The new channel profile picture thumbnail thingy is perfect.
Another interesting subject so thanks for sharing.
Which historical mystery do you most want solved?
“Catherine Eddowessen” lmao what?
Right. Who is your suspect? Mine is Charles Allen Lechmere.
@@walkawaycat431 Whomever Kosminski is
@valorum2980 Aaron Kosminski was a 23 year old schizophrenic who ate out of trash cans. He refused to touch food anyone prepared, didn't bathe, was absolutely filthy. Babbled down the streets. His sister put him in an asylum for his own good. He died there in 1919. He never harmed a soul.
@@Valorum_ I forgot to mention he spoke only Yiddish until the day he died.
You left out Punt. We have numerous ancient accounts about the place talking about how fabulously wealthy the citizens are and all the cool stuff they had, but no one knows exactly where Punt was. Some have gone so far as to speculate that maybe Punt is a mythological land akin to Atlantis, because of how outrageous the stories about the place are.
Jack the Ripper has been identified from DNA evidence. Scotland Yard recently used familial DNA to identify the person responsible. The amazing thing is that the clothing worn by the victims was kept uncontaminated and intact for so many years. The identification was mostly by chance. A researcher wanted to see if it was possible to identify a suspect after so many years. The researcher found hairs and skin cells left on the clothing that the victims wore that had DNA that was still usable. The various DNA samples were compared and one set of DNA was common to all the victims. That set of DNA was sent to all the familial DNA companies. They were able to get a match and narrow it down, eventually matching it to a person who was a suspect when the killings occurred.
10:08 The CZcams channel Decoding The Unknown does an excellent analysis of the JFK assasination for the video "The JFK Assassination - Was There Really a Second Shooter on the Grassy Knoll?
How many Mystery-genre writers does it take to change a light bulb?
Two. One to screw it almost all the way in and the other to give it a surprising twist at the end.
give it up
@@WisconsinAdventures my twisted mind won't let me. 😪😭
Great video! Loved the content and style of your presentation. This video was really helpful, thanks for sharing.
Some people also theorized that Jack the Ripper was in fact H. H. Holmes, who was an infamous serial killer from America at the same time period.
But its just a theory, not a fact
@@BeyondDaX true. It has been a theory, but it has not been proven.
Thank you for this video! 😀🌻
What happened to the Amber Room? Mystery! Kruger Millions? The Warratah?
A Roanoke M. Night Shamylan movie could have been so much better than the village
"SOOOO... Let's take a look at what..." is always a good way to start the day!
Thanks for this! 🔍 #WeirdHistory #Mysteries #UnsolvedMysteries
You should do one on the mystery of palmyra, maine!
Should we also include the death or maybe not of Jim Morrison, Elvis and Tupac?
8:07 I would love to see that play, what a cool set and costumes!
Great job on this video.
Jack the Ripper has probably been identified.
Jack the Ripper's identity has been solved by DNA tests in 2019. He was Aaron Kosminski, a 23-year-old Polish barber and prime suspect at the time.
I thought he was found to be James Maybricj.
Maybrick
Anytime I daydream, this narrator's voice will popped up unexpectedly...in a good way 😊
What about the Belmont children
Man, that's something. Quite a list. The people want to know what happened in these cases. They want to know the truth. It's out there.
I’m not real🗿

This time eating SPAGHETTOS* with basil and topped with Velvetta Slices Queso Blanco + drinking cafe con leche...while watching this Weird History video!

They were Vikings! Duh
The sea people? Yeah, that's plausible!
Who was / is the count of St. Germain?
The mystery that people would want to solve is the identity of this Narrator
"Is this the identity of the sea creatures? We'll just have to wait and see, creatures." @2:02
Since I have already watched both thumbnail recommedations at the end of the video, I am going to watch the Weird History videos:

Why did someone let the pigeon drive the bus? The mystery of the last 20 minutes at least.
I would like to know how pollen lead to the presumption of catastrophic events. Anyone?
New logo just dropped
New profile pic!
I wish they had committed all the lost files to a hard drive or at least microfiche before the Library of Alexandria burned.
I would like to find out what happened to flight 19
I just want to know if the Patterson bigfoot film is real or fake.
I'm kinda disappointed that the princes in the tower wasn't on the list.
The biggest question is where the shooter got the ammunition for the rifle. Oswald repeatedly gave statements to the Dallas police that while he had brought the gun to the Dallas book depository, he hadn’t brought any ammunition. The ammunition used was good quality, something Oswald couldn’t afford. Oswald had used surplus ammunition and couldn’t afford the ammunition found in the rifle. The other thing was that Oswalds fingerprints were wiped out by glove marks. Whoever shot Kennedy used gloves. Oswald didn’t own a pair. There should have been fingerprints all over the rifle, particularly around the grip and trigger assembly but there were none, just a partial palm print from Oswald handing over the rifle on the butt. Oswald knew the telescopic sight was misaligned and wouldn’t have used it, the gunman didn’t know that and his first shot went into the pavement short of the limo. The other shots were on target. The problem is, Oswald was such a poor marksman that he wasn’t capable of making them. His eyesight was also weak. He couldn’t even focus at that range much less land three shots on target. The investigators knew this but didn’t mention it in the summary of the report, it’s buried in the text, you have to go digging through hundreds of pages in the report to find it at all. Then Oswald himself denied shooting Kennedy. Repeatedly. He acknowledged bringing the rifle to the depository but denied any other role in the shooting. Then there was the gunshot residue tests. Oswald passed three gunshot residue tests, one given by the Dallas police, one given by the Texas Rangers and one given by the FBI. The solutions used were assumed to be defective. In 1995, the solutions the Dallas police used were found in a drawer in the police lab. The solutions tested good. Oswald was definitely proved to be not the shooter. Oswald was killed by someone he knew well, Jack Ruby. There are numerous pictures that have turned up of them at Ruby’s nightclub in group settings. It wasn’t a place Oswald could afford to go, so why was he there? And why did Ruby say at his own trial that he had never met Oswald even though prosecutors had pictures at that time of Oswald and Ruby together. And why did prosecutors not call out the lie at the time, the photographs were placed into evidence and they showed he had to have known Oswald? The discrepancies just keep piling on until you wonder just what was going on. Only one thing is sure, Oswald wasn’t the triggerman in the Kennedy assassination. The forensic evidence available to us today shows that he wasn’t the triggerman.
What if: The former contents of the library or Alexandria are contained in the Vatican archives.
Other great ones is where is Alexander the Great & Cleopatra buried
Most of these mysteries will probably never be solved, unfortunately.
Like directly after the assassination, didn’t they, and I honestly don’t know who “They” are, but wasn’t there a tree that would have blocked Oswald’s shot for happening, that was cut down and removed the next day, or something?
I don’t know, or care that much, but I always figured it was at least kind of a lie. I think that movie it came from, as well as the line “Back and to the left” made everyone who questioned, look like a conspiracy hack who takes movies too seriously.
Didn’t Lucy Lue throw JTR off of a bridge back in the early 2000s? Saw that in a Kung-Fu documentary when I was a kid.
11:15 I remember going to the film JFK (1991) in the theater, it was mind-blowing!
That was the first mainstream conspiracy film I had ever seen in the theater.
I took care of Jack the Ripper in Assassin's Creed Syndicate, though, so the mystery has been solved!
Charles Allen Lechmere is by far the best suspect for JTR.
George Bush Jr and the cia did it.
Nah. Not even close. The only one that makes sense in reality is Dr Francis J. Tumblety.
@cthulhu_lives8169 Frances Tumblety was over 55 years old, very tall, a homosexual. He was nor JTR. He was only a suspect in the New York newspapers. A homosexual didn't commit these crimes. His American accent, huge handlebar mustache, and his height would have stuck out like a sore thumb out in the east end of London. Preposterous suspect.
@cthulhu_lives8169 Tumblety was arrested for lewd acts with young men in London. He can't be placed at a crime scene. Only one suspect can be placed directly at a crime scene. Charles Allen Lechmere. Robert Paul inquest testimony: "A man was standing where the woman was" when he came upon Polly Nichol's, Charles Allen Lechmere was standing there.
@@Facetiously.Esoteric I can tell you're not well versed in the subject of JTR. Every expert knows about CAL.
I was wondering why I never saw your new posts. It’s cuz you changed your logo so I was scrolling by it in my subs 😅
A holy waterslide?? Where do I sign up?! 🙏🌊🛝
There's no point to continue investigating the Ripper murders. There is nobody still alive from those times who can be brought to trial, no witnesses left alive who can testify against them, and most of the evidence that was collected at the time has mysteriously disappeared. Also, the locations where the murders took place have changed so much in the intervening time period, that it would be impossible to gather new evidence from them. There needs to be a statute of limitations placed on murder, so that future generations of police officers aren't wasting taxpayers money indefinitely, investigating crimes that can't be taken to court, because everyone believed to be involved, or has knowledge of the case, are all dead. I think 150 years is a reasonable number to use, as it should be long enough to make sure that any potential suspects are long dead. If the police can't solve the case in 150 years, it is futile to keep trying. We need to say the Ripper got away with it, and leave it at that.
The identity has been solved by DNA.
Actually the “lost colony” is not lost. People who have been born and raised on the beaches know that the settlers integrated with the tribe in hatteras. There has been a years long archeological dig with lots of evidence confirming that the colony did settle with the tribe down south since they were friendly and the tribe in Roanoke was not (due to specific reasons too much more than I’d like to type) there is now a museum down in the southern beach towards hatteras dedicated to the finds. Sir walter Raleigh also knew what happened to them because he is the one who told them to write Croatan near their original site letting him know they were going to the tribe in hatteras but due to funding at the time because of the war with Spain he did not go to get them. Locals have always known what the fate was of the colonists and some still have their dna, but to make it a tourist destination and gain fame and money they wrote the play and considered them “lost” which really worked out for them. The play is completely different now due to the outstanding evidence. Just thought you should know! I’ve been raised here and it’s a mystery to everyone but the locals.
Just to add the Native American descendants have said for at least 200 years what you said did happen.
Yeah. Natives have been saying this for centuries but obviously those silly natives couldn’t POSSIBLY know ANYTHING about their own history
You see how that tied that into that Steven King movie? lol. That demon guy that killed the old lady with a staff in the beginning.
@@emilybarclay8831 Yeah, I have heard the stories my whole life, I'm 67 and the solution to the story is all over NC and VA.
@emilybarclay8831 Lmao
No, just no.
We haven't "been saying this for centuries".
And the OP is wrong, there is not a drop of DNA evidence.
You people need to stop getting your education from TV shows...
Smh
3:24 lol
@1:15 the sea people were Europeans fleeing a volcanic eruption. We can put that mystery to bed.
The disappearance of Loius Me Prince.
The death and disposition of the Princes in the Tower.
The Identity of DB Cooper.
What happened to Lord Lucan?
Was Natalie Woods death an accident or homicide?
Who killed Tupac?
Tom Hanks is the only Robert Langdon. The tv was horrible
What about Lord Lucan?
Listen that JFK segment needed to be a lot longer. There’s a lot of stuff you could added.
New Look....👍Nice
If the Vatican had a library just for the records of their child abuse scandals, it would require a country of its own just to handle all the paperwork 😂
The meaning of the name"Kennedy" is said to mean "head." How ironic is that!😮
Oh, you got a new profile pic ❤
Good
So... sounds like the women who were murdered by J the R had Old Testament names... whilst purportedly sporting professionally well rounded heels 👠. ...was he mad?...
They were available. His hatred was for women. Charles Allen Lechmere is the best suspect by far.
Pretty much every person in England at the time had a biblical name. The most common names for women were Mary, Anna, Emma, Elizabeth and Margaret.
@@emilybarclay8831 1. I've never understood how "Peggy" came from "Margaret" - NE1 here know why? 2. So what is meant by "medical knowledge" back then because it doesn't take much beyond solid butcher skills to have some bodily knowledge. Were there butcher shops, and if so... ? I mean ... even hookers gotta eat
@@b8akaratn the anatomy of pigs and the anatomy of humans aren’t really that similar. And butchers aren’t exactly about medical-level efficiency.
@@emilybarclay8831 cool!
if the library of alexandria had simply been slowly replaced by a network of smaller libraries then the info wouldnt have been lost, thats prob the dumbest theory ive heard ngl lmao
love the new pfp😂
WHERE IS THE AMBER ROOM
Feel like you pulled your punches on the jfk one it was pretty much confirmed government had something to do with it especially since oswald was killed soon after so
