Strange and mysterious photos that have no explanation. Mysterious photos and stories about them Mysterious photos that shock

But we hope that one day, thanks to research and science, they will be able to unravel.

But there is a high probability that many questions will remain unanswered.

Here are some photos that may be confusing.


The most mysterious photos

1The woman in the brown coat during the Kennedy assassination


A woman in a brown coat or Lady Granny", as the FBI later called her, was very close to President John F. Kennedy when he was assassinated in Dallas.

According to witnesses, this woman filmed the entire murder process. She was at a very important vantage point and could answer the question of what exactly happened that day.

However, the FBI was never able to track down the woman or identify the mysterious observer.

None of the photographs from the scene of the murder captured her face, and the video she filmed has not been located, despite requests from law enforcement.

2. The death of the Dyatlov group


In 1959, nine Soviet tourists died mysteriously in the Ural Mountains. The photo you see was taken by the rescue team. According to the lifeguards, the tourists cut the tent and ran out barefoot into the snow trying to run away from something.

Six tourists died from hypothermia, two from fractures of the sternum, and one from a severe head injury. In addition, one tourist was missing the language. Another strange fact was high radioactivity of clothing Dyatlov group.

3 Phoenix Lights


The Phoenix Lights are a series of bright, still lights seen by thousands of people over the city of Phoenix, Arizona, USA, and the city of Sonora, Mexico, on March 13, 1997.

The US Air Force explained that the lights were flares dropped during the exercise. However, experts have denied this. Moreover, they reappeared over Phoenix in 2007 and 2008. An explanation for this phenomenon has never been found.

4 Solway Firth Astronaut


Englishman Jim Templeton(Jim Templeton) took this photo of his daughter on a walk in 1964. When he took the photo, he did not notice anything strange in the swampy area where the two of them were.

However, when he developed the photographs, he noticed that there was something behind his daughter in the photograph, like an astronaut. But no one was around at the time Templeton took the photo, and Kodak confirmed that the photo had not been altered.

5 Mysterious Thumb


In this photograph of four children, the boy in black has a thumb on the right side of his ear that does not belong to any of the children.

6. Satellite "Black Knight"


According to some assumptions, there is an ancient dark object called the Black Knight satellite, which is located in Earth orbit for the last 13,000 years.

No one knows how he got there, and his purpose. This photo was taken by the US Space Shuttle mission to the International Space Station in 1998.


In these photos of the gaping hole that was created when a plane crashed into the South Tower of the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001, a woman can be seen standing on the edge of the hole, waving for help.

The woman was identified as Edna Cintron, but no one has been able to explain how she was able to survive after the plane crashed into the building.

8 The Falcon Lake Incident


May 20, 1967 Stefan Michalak(Stefan Michalak) was in the forest near Falcon Lake in Manitoba, Canada, when he saw two cigar-shaped UFOs. When the door of one of the objects opened, Michalak heard voices and tried to speak to the creatures inside. But as he approached the door, he could make out nothing but a "maze of lights."

Suddenly, the aircraft's door closed and the object rose, throwing hot air at the man through the grille, which caused his clothes to catch fire.

At the hospital, the doctors were extremely surprised lattice pattern of burns on the chest victim, which can be seen in the photo.

9. Time Traveler


This photo was taken in 1941 after the reopening of the South Forks Bridge in Canada. At first glance, it seems that there is nothing unusual in the photo.

But if you look closely, you can see that one the man in the photo is dressed quite modern, he wears fashionable dark glasses, and he has a modern camera in his hands.

For comparison, in the circled circle on the left, we see a man with a camera typical of that time.

10. Madonna with Saint Giovannino


This is one of the most famous unexplained images of all time. While attention is focused on Mary in the painting, something strange can be seen hovering over her left shoulder.

The object is very similar to a UFO, and below you can see a man with a dog, who are looking up at a flying saucer.

11 Skunk Monkey


In 2000, an unidentified woman took two photographs of what was believed to be a skunk monkey and mailed them to the Florida Sheriff's Department. In the letter, she wrote that she photographed the monster in her yard, coming three times at night for apples she had left on the back porch. Bigfoot hunters have named the creature the "skunk monkey" because of its resemblance and unpleasant odor.

12. A mobile phone in a Chaplin film


In the DVD tracks of Charlie Chaplin's The Circus, people could watch a short film and photos of the film's premiere in 1928, where one can see a woman who appears to be talking on a cell phone.

Director George Clark stated that this is proof of the existence of time travelers. Some have suggested that the woman used an eustachian tube, but this does not explain why she is talking on the apparatus.

13. UFO at the bottom of the Baltic Sea


In 2012, a Swedish research team discovered a mysterious 18-meter disc at the bottom of the Baltic Sea. This object, apparently created by intelligent beings, looked like a spaceship from Star Wars.

Guess who likes to be photographed more than girls? Do not know? Devilry! Otherwise, how to explain the passion for getting into the frame of ghosts, ghosts and other poltergeists. It is clear that for the most part aliens, bigfoots, UFOs, monsters of the depths and skeletons of giants are just crafts of pranksters, and they should be treated accordingly. But there are shots that you don’t want to laugh at, from which the blood runs cold. We have already written about the strange manifestations of the other world, captured on and. They also wrote about photographs people from . I remember how about twenty years ago a woman came to the editorial office with the last issue of our party. On page four, under the heading "culture," there was an old group photograph of the local drama theater troupe. The woman pointed to a pretty young girl in the front row: “Here is my grandmother, she played in this theater. Only the picture was taken ten years before her birth. Then we got rid of the "crazy" visitor. Today I would not do that, I would try to figure it out, because as the Prince of Denmark said: “There are many things in the world, friend Horatio, that our wise men never dreamed of.”

We present to your judgment a dozen photographs taken in different countries and at different times, which have only one thing in common: mystery!

strange photos

Silhouette of a young guy in military uniform. What is it, photoshop or sticking together of parallel worlds?


A soldier with a rifle in the foreground, an officer in a cap behind him. The picture was taken in the Novgorod region, Myasnoy Bor valley. In 1942, thousands of soldiers of three armies died here: Soviet, German and Italian. The remains were never buried. According to local residents, the ghosts of the fighters sometimes appear in the valley.


Everything is like in horror films, only not on the screen, but in life. American outback, an old abandoned hospital, which is inhabited by ghosts.

scary pictures


The figure of a giant alien between the trees. Really scary.


Who said dragons don't exist? How else do they exist! And they not only fly, but also swim.

Whether a girl, or a vision ...

The girl rented an apartment, moved in, began to settle down. On the very first evening, the dog stared into the emptiness of the dark kitchen and began to whine. The girl took the phone and took a few pictures. Here is one of them. She moved out of the apartment the next day.


There is no object nearby to compare and imagine the size of the monster that fell into the nets of Chinese fishermen. In fact, its length is several meters. A real monster from a horror movie.

New York State, Montauk Coast. This strange and terrible creature was washed ashore by the waves. Authentication failed.

17.11.2014


Secrets and mysticism always attract people. This is not surprising - the very existence of life on Earth, and even with intelligent beings, is a complete mystery and mysticism.

Here are collected 11+1 photos and videos that are not fully understood even by experts. True, while this selection was being prepared, the solution to one mystery (with the Black Prince) was found. Maybe you can figure out all the rest?

12. Lady Babushka (The Babushka Lady)

On November 22, 1963, shots rang out in Dallas at 12:30. Most of the people filming the president's motorcade on camera rushed to run. However, one of the women, whose face was hidden under a headscarf, continued to film for some time after the shots were fired. Then she crossed Elm Street and blended into the crowd.

After the murder, law enforcement asked the public to provide them with all the amateur videos made that day. But the video taken by Lady Grandmother has not been found.

The police tried to track down the woman, hoping that her footage would be decisive evidence, but to this day she has not been found. She received such a nickname due to the fact that she was wrapped in a scarf resembling the headdresses of Russian elderly women.

11 Solway Firth Astronaut

In 1964, the family of Briton Jim Templeton was walking near the Solway Firth. The head of the family decided to take a picture of his five-year-old daughter with Kodak. The Templetons claimed that there was no one else in these marshy places except them. And when the pictures were developed, one of them showed a strange figure peeking out from behind the girl. The analysis showed that the photo was not subjected to any changes.

10. Lights of Hessdalen

In 1907, a group of educators, students and scientists set up a scientific camp in Norway to study a mysterious phenomenon called the Hessdalen Fires.

On a clear night, Bjorn Hauge took this picture using a shutter speed of 30 seconds. Spectral analysis showed that the object must be composed of silicon, iron and scandium. This is the most informative, but far from the only photo of the Hessdalen Lights. Scientists are still scratching their heads as to what it could be. True, there is one version.

9. An unexpected guest in the Cooper family

The Cooper family has just moved into their new home in Texas. In honor of the housewarming, a festive table was laid, at the same time we decided to take some family photos. And when the pictures were developed, a strange figure appeared on them - it seems that someone's body is either hanging or falling from the ceiling. Of course, the Coopers did not see anything like this during the shooting.

8. "Alien" in Earth's orbit

This is how this story is described on all the Internet sites that publish collections of pictures and love to fool readers for a couple of clicks:

“... For the first time, an image of an unknown object, called the Black Prince, was taken in 1960 by one of the first satellites of the Earth. In polar orbit, an unidentified object is clearly visible, which could not be either a satellite of the USSR or a satellite of the USA. Since then, this object has been seen repeatedly - it appears and disappears at certain time intervals. After carefully studying the images of the object, scientists are inclined to believe that this is a piece of artificial origin.

This story is actually as simple as three pennies. No, the picture is real. It was taken during the STS-88 flight of the Endeavor spacecraft in 1998. Here it is, in high resolution.

During one of the astronauts' spacewalks, a thermal blanket was lost. One side is silver, the other side is black. It slowly moved away, taking on bizarre shapes, and several photographs were taken. Without knowing the origin of the object, you can name anything. But, fortunately for the astronauts and unfortunately for the mysterious story, it was not an alien satellite.

7. Sea monster filmed off the coast of Hook Island

This well-known image is considered by many to be the result of working with Photoshop. But few people know that the French photographer Robert le Serrec took this unknown giant sea animal back in 1965, and this photo became the subject of heated discussions among zoologists.

6 Sir Goddard's Squadron (1919, published 1975)

Behind one of the aviators, you can clearly see the face of another person. Squadron members claim it is the face of Freddie Jackson, an aircraft mechanic who died in an accident two days before the shoot. His funeral took place on the day the group photo was taken.

5. The mobile phone in a Charlie Chaplin movie

On the DVD of the Collector's Edition of Charlie Chaplin's Circus, a short film about the 1928 premiere was added as a bonus. One of the shots shows a woman holding what looks like a mobile phone in her hand.

Some consider these footage proof of the existence of time travelers. Many are inclined to believe that a woman holds an auditory tube in her hand. But then it is not clear why she smiles and says something to her.

Curious, if it's a cell phone, who is she talking to?

4. Another Time Traveler

This photo was taken in 1941 during the opening of the South Forks Bridge. Attention was drawn to a young man who was considered by many to be a "time traveler" - because of his modern hairstyle, zip-up sweater, printed T-shirt, fashionable glasses and a soap camera. The whole outfit is clearly not from the 40s. On the left, a camera is highlighted in red, which was actually in use at that time.

3. Ghosts of "Watertown"

In December 1924, the American tanker Watertown was heading from the coast of California to New Orleans through the Panama Canal when two sailors, Courtney and Meehan, suffocated from oil fumes. Their bodies were buried at sea off the coast of Mexico.

The next day the first mate saw two faces on the port side of the waves. He immediately recognized them as two dead sailors. Faces appeared again and again every day, and in fact all members of the team saw them many times. Upon arrival in New Orleans, Captain Tracy reported what had happened to the shipping company and was instructed to photograph them.

When the ghostly faces reappeared, Captain Tracy took a picture of them. In one frame, faces were clearly visible. The Bureau of Investigation, which was asked to check the negative, found no evidence of falsification.

2 Pyramids On The Moon

What you see below is a photograph of the Moon's surface, numbered AS17-136-20680, which was taken as part of the Apollo 17 mission. It was listed as "exposed" in the photo catalog. She clearly suffered from excessive light exposure. However, after working with the contrast of this image, it turned out that in fact, structures resembling pyramids were captured on it.

1. The mysterious death of Eliza Lam

This is, as we say - mystics, fresh. The story shook America in early 2013. Young Elisa Lam, a tourist from Canada, arrived in Los Angeles on January 26 and stayed at the affordable Cecile Hotel in the city center. The 21-year-old Canadian of Chinese descent was an exemplary daughter, calling her parents daily and talking about all her adventures while traveling in the United States.

However, shortly after her arrival in the City of Angels, the calls stopped. On January 31, Eliza was seen for the last time - she went to a bookstore near the hotel to buy souvenirs for her relatives, returned to Cecil, rode the elevator - she was recorded by a camera in the cab - and ... disappeared without a trace.

Eliza's footprints were discovered on February 19, when hotel guests began to complain to the staff about the quality of the water. The liquid in the taps darkened, the pressure weakened, a strange aftertaste appeared ... The employees climbed to the roof, where the water supply system is located in American skyscrapers. There, in a tightly closed tank, naked Eliza was found, who at that time had been looking for her parents together with the police for two weeks.

The biggest mystery in this case is the January 31st video of Eliza in the hotel elevator. She presses the same combination of buttons several times in a row, runs out of the elevator, hides, wrings her hands, talks to someone out of camera view - or to herself. Having left on the fourteenth floor (her room was located on the fourth), the girl no longer returns to the elevator.

Interesting results came from the pathologist. According to him, no known drugs and hallucinogens, alcohol were found in the tissues of the tourist. Also, there were no signs of any violence against her: there were no blows, abrasions, signs of a struggle. Moreover, it was established that death occurred in the water - she choked, but did not try to avoid it.

Based on the results of the autopsy, a decision was made - the case was closed, the death was declared an accident. How Eliza got on the roof, how to explain her strange behavior before the loss - and apparently death - all these questions are no longer of interest to the police.

Hollywood also became interested in this story and announced in early 2014 that a film based on the mysterious death of Lam would be released in 2015.

Whether you're a conspiracy theorist or not, unexplained things happen all the time in the world. Below we bring you a list of the ten most inexplicable photos from the past that no one has yet been able to really explain.

Jim Templeton photographed his youngest daughter near the Solway Firth in 1964. After developing, the figure of an astronaut in full gear appeared in the picture behind the girl. However, as Templeton assures, no astronauts were observed in the meadow during the shooting.

Falling boy


When the Cooper family moved to a new home in Texas in the 1950s, they decided to take a group photograph. After developing, a mysterious boy appeared on it, falling from the ceiling.


A group of children pose for a photograph, nothing out of the ordinary. However, there is a mystical thumb in the picture that does not belong to anyone's body (to the right of the boy in black).

Battle of Los Angeles


The photo, published in the Los Angeles Times on February 26, 1942, was cited by many ufologists as indisputable evidence of the existence of UFOs. They claim that the image clearly captures the searchlights focused on the spacecraft. Others believe the incident is related to rumors of a Japanese air attack and a subsequent barrage by US air defense forces. However, shortly after the incident, speaking at a press conference, Secretary of the Navy Franklin Knox called the whole incident a "false alarm."


These inexplicable lights over the Hessdalen valley have been observed in Norway since the beginning of the 40s. Their greatest activity was monitored between 1981 and 1984, when they appeared 10–15 times a week, sometimes for an entire hour. Since that time, the activity of the mysterious lights has noticeably decreased, now they are observed 10–20 times a year. Such a frequent occurrence of this phenomenon has become the reason for the interest of a huge number of tourists.

Time Traveler

There is an opinion that this photograph, taken in 1941 in Canada, depicts a man in modern clothes who made a journey from the future to the past.

The Secret of the Dark Knight Companion


According to legend, there is a mysterious object in the orbit of the Earth, which is already more than 13,000 years old. Its origin and purpose are unknown. There is a theory that the "Dark Knight" is an elusive satellite that sends signals to Earth, they are fixed by "NASA", and only the powers that be have access to this received information. The origin of the sinister name is also part of the mystery - it is not known who first called it that and why. It is worth noting that only the last 60 years people have had the technology to launch an artificial object into space, therefore, it is impossible to explain the appearance of this alien intruder.

9/11 Attack - South Tower Woman


In these two photos, in the hole left by the plane crash in the South Tower, you can see a woman standing on the edge, waving her arms. Her name is Edna Clinton. People still cannot understand how the woman survived, given everything that happened in that part of the building.


In 2000, two photographs were sent anonymously to the Sarasota, Florida Sheriff's Department, accompanied by a letter from a woman who claimed to have taken a picture of a monster sneaking into her garden to steal apples.

ghost of freddie jackson


This photo was taken in 1919 during the First World War. A group portrait of the squadron, which for some reason depicts air mechanic Freddie Jackson, who died in an accident two days before this shoot.

Falcon Lake Incident


This is a case of observation of two unidentified flying objects near the resort village of Falcon Lake in Canada on May 20, 1967. The only witness to the incident was Stefan Michalak, who was resting in these places and at some point noticed two cigar-shaped objects descending, one of which landed very close. Michalak claims to have seen the door open and heard voices coming from within. He tried to speak to the aliens in English, but there was no answer. Then he tried to get closer, but came across an "invisible glass", which, apparently, served as a protection for the object. Suddenly, Michalak was surrounded by a cloud of air so hot that his clothes caught fire, as a result of which the man received serious burns.
The truth is somewhere near. Share this article with your friends so that not only you will be scared tonight.

Secrets always arouse genuine interest in people, they give everyone the opportunity to invent and think out something of their own, completely inexplicable and mysterious. The 10 photographs presented in this article are the most mystical in the history of photography. Mysterious photographs demonstrate to humanity that not everything can be explained logically.

The assassination of John F. Kennedy in 1963 is shrouded in many mysteries, another mystery is this photograph taken at the crime scene. The woman in the picture is one of the most mysterious figures. The police, having reviewed hundreds of frames taken on that fateful day, could not identify this elderly person, they tried to track her down, hoping to find at least some additional evidence.

Later it turned out that the woman depicted in the photograph of Beverly Oliver, who was only 17 years old at the time the photo was taken, the camera distorted the picture in such a way that the girl in the picture came out much older than her age. There is no proof or refutation of this fact.

Mysterious fires of unknown origin have been recorded in the Hessdalen valley. Residents recall that the first glow was seen during the Second World War, but since 1981 they have become more frequent. People from all over the world began to come to the valley to see the lights. Eyewitnesses claim that in some periods the glow appeared 15-20 times a week.

The scientific explanation for these lights remains unproven, which causes a lot of controversy and disagreement regarding their nature. Some say they are aliens, while others say they could be headlights, mirages, celestial bodies, or aircraft lights.

If these pictures were taken today, then the audience would blame everything on Photoshop, but this shot was taken on December 12, 1964 and then, it caused a lot of controversy and rumors. In 1964, Photoshop didn't exist, so people came up with their own explanations.

Robert Le Serre and his wife were vacationing off the coast of Stonehaven Bay, near Hook Island, Queensland. His wife noticed an unusual large object underwater and they took some photos. According to the descriptions of the couple, the object resembled a giant tadpole, about 2.5 meters long. The object didn't move, and the pair thought the tadpole might be dead, so they moved closer. Then the creature began to move, and they ran away, and the unknown object swam away.

When Jim Templeton took photos of his wife and daughter on a sunny day in Cumbria, England, in the summer of 1964, he didn't know he would spark a lot of debate among conspiracy theorists and UFOs.

After shooting, the photographer developed the film and took photographs, he found that behind his little daughter was the silhouette of a man in a spacesuit. Templeton stated that during the photo shoot he did not see anyone other than his wife and daughter. When the picture became public, some viewers said that the astronaut was behind, it was nothing more than the girl's mother standing behind her. The rest put forward the assumption that this is an astronaut who landed in the same area.

James Courtney and Michael Meehan were poisoned by gasoline fumes during their sea voyage to New York in 1924. As was customary at the time, the men were buried at sea. However, within days of their burial, reflections of two male faces were seen in the water. The faces were so clear that Captain Keith Tracy was able to photograph these two ghosts.

This picture was taken in 1950. Then, after fixing a mysterious flying object, a rumor about the invasion of aliens flew around the world. UFO researcher Donald Keyhoe put forward claims by the US Air Force about the discovery of two satellites orbiting the Earth, however, in the end it turned out that no one launched these satellites and absolutely nothing is known about them.

Legend has it that when the Cooper family pictured moved into their new home, they decided to take the first photo. During the shooting, the camera captured the image of a body falling from the ceiling. Further investigation of this story provides little information that clarifies this situation. As a result, many have decided that this is just some kind of trick or hoax. As it happened in reality, no one knew.

It is a well-known fact that humanity always sees the Earth's satellite from one side. But what is hiding on the other side of the moon? Below is a photo taken by Apollo 17 during its last flight to the moon. Despite the graininess of the frame, the image of a certain pointed mountain or pyramid is clearly visible in it. Some believe that these are the Great Pyramids, similar to those of Egypt. NASA does not disclose the history of the origin of the frame and does not specify what exactly is depicted on it.

In 1919, mechanic Freddie Jackson was accidentally killed by an airplane propeller while working. Two days later, after that, the squadron was assembled for a joint photo. After the release of the photo, everyone was very surprised by the appearance of Freddie Jackson in the photo. The photo was reviewed by the entire crew and everyone agreed that it was Jackson, despite the fact that he died two days before the photo, and the funeral took place on the same day that the shooting took place.

Killer Hotel – Cecil

In January 2013, 21-year-old student Eliza Lam staying at the Cecil Hotel in Los Angeles. Over time, the girl's body was found in a water tank by a maintenance technician. Witnesses say it was suicide. This story might not have attracted the attention of the public, if not for a number of strange coincidences that accompany it.

It all started with a strange video recorded by a camera in the elevator, when, after pressing the button, the doors did not close for a long time. Next, Lam is seen trying to hide from something invisible in the corner of the elevator. Then the video recorded that the girl was getting out of the elevator, looking around chaotically, doubting her decision. At the same time, the elevator doors did not try to close, as if someone or something prevented them from doing so. Minutes pass, and the strange behavior of the girl continues after Lam disappears from the field of view of the cameras. When the girl got out of the elevator, he closed himself and went to the next floor. It remains a mystery how Lam was able to find herself on the roof, which was locked and barricaded. Mystery is also shrouded in a mystical update of information on the girl's blog, which occurred six months after her death.
