Is there another/more dedicated thread for non-crime topics? Stuff like The Bloop, animals acting weird, other generally unexplained things? I don't have anything to contribute, but this thread never pulled up from the murders/child abuse, and the fringe science thread died in like 2019. Finally made it to the end and regretting that I did

I guess the most mysterious song on the internet (“Ulterior Motives”/” Everybody Knows That”) has been definitively sourced to a 1986 photographic film, Angels of Passion: https://www.stereogum.com/2261440/mysterious-viral-80s-song-everybody-knows-that-finally-identified-after-three-year-hunt/news/ I don’t know if that fits the criteria for this thread, but it might lighten the mood temporarily.

I AM GRANDO posted:I guess the most mysterious song on the internet (“Ulterior Motives”/” Everybody Knows That”) has been definitively sourced to a 1986 photographic film, Angels of Passion: I’d say that discussion of “lost media” can definitely fit this thread. Sometimes it is some eerie stuff, but even in cases like this one it’s an unsettling reminder that having hundreds of people working on a question with nigh-infinite connection and information at their fingertips might never find an answer and some things may never be explained. Crimes, cryptids, weird VHS tapes from Goodwill - we must accept the fact that there is still an Unknowable. Also, that the internet is becoming the polar opposite of connection and information, which is bizarre to watch as an elder millennial who lived through the “holy poo poo! The encyclopedia is all just there if I type in this string of characters? I don’t need to put a disc in anywhere?!? I’m going to be the smartest person ever! Society is about to improve a hundredfold!” naïveté of the turn of the century.

You don't even have to type anything or visit a search site, just highlight, right click, "Search Google for" Having to do the same thing for Kids These Days is just as frustrating. You have to unzip the file first... no, I don't know how to do that on your phone; how are you even running [program] on your phone?! In a similar vein, Asking Jeeves about cryptids and spooky stuff and finding obscure sites about them was magickal! Googling things like The Bloop 20 years later is kind of sad when it's almost always like yeah iceburg sounds, whale fat, misidentified remains, or just straight up hoaxes. I KNOW bigfeet/dogmen are obviously bears, but I still NEED that kind of mundane mystery. orz

Found this article about one of my favourite type of unnerving stories, people going missing hiking. https://longreads.com/2024/05/07/death-of-the-hiker/ It contains references to a lot of thread favourites, like the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dyatlov_Pass_incident and the two Dutch hikers who got lost in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deaths_of_Kris_Kremers_and_Lisanne_Froon, as well as several I haven't seen before, like this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SOS_incident where two men get found after getting lost thanks to a giant SOS sign, that they didn't make and didn't know about and this incident in Colorado (CN: child death). The writer of the article survives her journey, obviously.

I used to have to change the channel as fast as possible if I saw the start of it. Communion too. It sucked because I’d miss the channel listings I was looking for and need to wait for them to come up again.

I remember when my girlfriend and I moved into our first apartment together, I had a couple days there alone before she moved in. I made the mistake of reading the SA ghost story thread. That's when I realized there was a full-length window on the bedroom door, which I hadn't quite noticed before, and which was just behind me out of my peripheral vision. My God the poo poo my brain made up for that window.

Couple years ago I was on vacation in Maine at the edge of a lake and had the brilliant idea to binge the Not Hot But Spicy archive right around bedtime. I couldn't fall asleep for half the night, then around 4AM when I was in a light, fitful doze I was suddenly startled awake by the sound of a loon laughing. My rear end was really sore the next day because I'd apparently been clenching my buttcheeks in terror all night

My fave are the sites like Ted the Caver or Dybbuk Box and similar ones where it is just creepy websites linked to other creepy websites and live journal links and such. Those were always fun. Google sucks now that it is all about selling poo poo and just giving answers and not websites.
