Synopsis
GREAT WORLD MYSTERIES
Nothing is more intriguing to the human mind than an unsolved mystery, particularly a real-life one. Mr. Russell, has gatherd here for the wonder of readers some of the most baffling mysteries on record.
He starts with the strange case of the Mary Celeste which, in 1872, was discovered sailing serenely on the high seas with nobody aboard. What happened to her crew? No one can say for certain, by Mr. Russell comes up with as likely a solution as has ever been advanced--and an amazingly simple one.
What were the strand footprints which appeared in the snow of Devon one sinter's night in the middle of the nineteenth century? Hoe did heavy lead coffins mover around in a sealed crypt on the island of Barbados? Just who was Kaspar Hauer? The book explores all available data on these mysteries and more--there are chapters on levitation, the spontaneous combustion of human beings, sea monsters, flying saucers...
A fascinating collection of authentic mysteries which still evade solution, science to the contrary. And some fo them, even after a hundred years, are still spine-chillers.
