MURK+AND+MYSTERY

= WELCOME =

Many big mysteries nowadays eventually find their way to the papers under dramatic and sensationalized headlines, and when they're solved, the public will say hooray, thank the science gods for things like DNA testing and fingerprint identification! But what about the mysteries that are still shrouded in murk, the ones that have baffled detectives, archaeologists, historians, explorers, scientist, and the general populace for years? The Mary Celeste...The Man in the Iron Mask...The Babushka Lady...The infamous Lost Colony... Who knows? I hope you're in the mood for a little eeriness today, because this wiki is all about some of the most popular unsolved cases in history.

=About me =

My name is Emily and I'm a first year commerce student. I grew up in the outskirts of a tiny village tending sheep and was adopted by a travelling circus passing through town. I performed as a cartwheeling clown. (You get a lot of free space and practice time when you're looking after sheep all day...) They almost turned me down because my nose wasn't big and red enough, but let me tell ya, those were some killer cartwheels. I went with the troupe all over the world, from the hot fringes of Africa to the metropolitan cities in Europe, and finally made the difficult choice to break away because I felt that I'd hit my circus peak. There are only so many cool things you can do while demonstrating sideways rotary movements. My circus buddies dropped me off on their North America tour stop and that was that. I've since decided that money and numbers and a sedentary life are more my thing. Regarding this wiki, there's actually nothing I despise more than an unsolved mystery (other than waking up at dawn or making hard decisions), but conversely, there's nothing that interests me more. Yays: reading, taking naps, friends, fresh-baked goods, BBC's Sherlock, Calvin and Hobbes, movie marathons, eating, and travelling. Nays: hospitals, rude people, cliffhangers, papercuts, and forgetting people's names within minutes of first meeting them. P.S. BROWNIE POINTS to you if you recognized my domain name! = Mysteries =

Okay, so you've probably heard about the Loch Ness Monster and the Yeti and Jack the Ripper. But wait! There are more! Here are links to less common unsolved mysteries that might interest you...
