5 Mysterious Cases Of Mass Disappearances

People go
missing all the time and for various reasons. In our age of digital technology
the police can just use the “find my phone” app in most cases, and the stranded
kid or teen will be found in no time. But what if a whole village or city would
simply vanish in a single moment, or even worse – an entire civilization?
There’s a chance that all of these mass disappearances have a logical
explanation, but the circumstances are incredibly bizarre to say the least.

Here are 5
mysterious cases of mass disappearances that will send chills down your spine.

1. Flannan Isles Lighthouse Keepers, 1900

It’s the
year 1900, December 15. No light is coming out of the lighthouse on the Flannan
Isles. A small crew of volunteers decides to investigate this mystery. 11 days
later they came back to the main ship and reported that the three lighthouse
keepers – Thomas Marshall, James Ducat, and Donald McArthur – were nowhere to
be found. No bodies, no nothing. Eventually the captain proposed a theory that
all three of them must have blown over the cliffs or drowned.

2. Roanoke Colony, 1587

The Roanoke
was one of the very first colonies built by the English settlers. Everything
was going fine until one day, when the colony governor John White returned from
a long and arduous trip to Europe only to find that all the settlers had
vanished. Only a single skeleton was found and the word “croatoan” etched into
a tree. The most popular theory says that the Croatoan tribe killed the
intruders. But that would be too easy. Definitely something fishy here.

3. The Village Of Hoer Verde, 1923

A group of
tourists entered a small Brazilian village of Hoer Verde in February of 1923. What
they discovered would creep anyone out. Out of 600 residents, there were zero
to be found in the entire village. Weirdest thing was that all the food,
clothes, and other possessions were left behind. Later the police had found a
gun that was shot recently and a blackboard saying “no salvation”. I don’t know
about you, but that sounds like Aliens to me!

4. Mary Celeste, 1872

Is it
possible for the entire crew and passengers of a huge ship to just vanish
without a trace? It’s a rhetorical question, because the answer is “it actually
happened”. In December 1872, the Mary Celeste ship was spotted by Italian
sailors. Upon further investigation, the rescuers didn’t find a single soul on
the vessel, while all their personal belongings and the ship’s cargo was still
intact.

5. The Lost Civilization Of The Indus Valley,
1500 BC

People from this ancient civilization were famous for their technological and engineering wonders, but were they really killed by nuclear strikes? Yeah, it’s 1500 BC and I said “nuclear strike”. Scientists and archaeologists working together on this mystery found multiple evidence of rapid exposure to radiation as well as intense heat. I was probably those pesky Atlaneans with their super weapon!
