Famous Cases

Ancient legends tell of an island that was said to exist some 11,000 years ago. Atlantis was thought to be an advanced civilization and prosperous. It is believed to have been destroyed by earthquakes and powerful tsunamis that sent it to the bottom of the sea. Clues throughout history hint to a possible location. Many underwater cities have been discovered, but as yet, none proven to be the mysterious "Lost City of Atlantis".

Amelia Earhart became the first woman to fly across the Atlantic Ocean in 1928. She was the first person to fly over both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. However, her legend took a tragic turn on July 2, 1937. Amelia's plane vanished over the Pacific Ocean. Amelia and her navigator, Fred Noonan were attempting to fly around the world at the equator. She was an inspiration to aviators, both men and women. Today, many search for answers to understand what could have happened to her.

One of the biggest historic mysteries of Stonehenge was how the complicated structure was built, who built it, and why. It was constructed in two main stages, 5,000 and 4,000 years ago. The first stones, the bluestones were mined from the only place where sarsen stones exists, nearly 200 hundred miles away in Wales. Who moved these special stones great distances and for what purpose?

The Oregon Vortex has been drawing tourists since the 1930s with reports of strange phenomenon. The area includes a nearby House of Mystery that demonstrates how objects appear to roll uphill, while people seem to mysteriously change height when they change position. It has been rumored for years to be a place of mysterious incidents. Scientists have studied the area and have different theories for what is happening in this mystery spot of Oregon.

From October 8-10, 1871, a fire raged through the city of Chicago. Hundreds of people were killed in the devastating blaze. Legend of the time says the fire began with the O'Leary family's cow. The start of the fire was said to have been from the cow kicking over a lantern in their barn. Was a fire that spread and destroyed over three square miles of the city really started by a cow? Did an investigation into the fire lead officials to believe this story or were there other more plausible theories that explain how this historic fire began?
