@isabel elenes I dont see you doing what he does. You are the loser for understanding that hes not the one that makes most of these scripts. He has people that help find the actual facts.
The Somerton Man case is actually much more intriguing than what was described. The “pocket” where the scrap of paper was found was a secret pocket that had be sewn into the lining of his pants, and all the labels had been cut from his clothes. They tracked down the owner of the phone number, who denied knowing him, even though she almost fainted when she was shown a cast of his face. Her daughter would later recount overhearing her mother having telephone conversations in Russian.
Definitely a spy. Cuttting labels from clothes is so that they can't be tracked after death. I feel like the Australian government probably knows more than they were willing to disclose back then as to not to create a panic.
@@50centgotshot9times If I remember correctly, there was a similar incident with a woman in Finland/Norway. Her body was found with all the labels removed. She had several different passports and had checked into another hotel under a different name. It might have been on Buzzfeed Unsolved.
@@j.p.6932That's right! I have heard of that one too and I remember that the labels had been removed from her clothes too. I think I found the information about spies and clothing label removal from a book though. It does make sense. Makes them untraceable to local authorities.
@@j.p.6932 You are probably thinking of the Isdal Woman (Isdalskvinnen). She died in my city of Bergen, Norway 50 years ago. Actually, in one week it will be 50 years since she was found.

Most of Australia would like to know what happened to the Beaumont children. They disappeared in 1965 off Glenelg beach in Adelaide. Three small children were never seen again.
There's also the Beaumont children. Three children disappeared in Adelaide and although there were numerous witnesses, they couldn't identify the suspect nor find the children dead or alive. It's one of Australia's most infamous cold cases.
Being Australian, I was surprised how many mysteries here that I'd never heard so that was very interesting and informative! Kept expecting and waiting for the Harold Holt mystery though, our Prime Minister disappeared in the 70's while swimming at the beach, his body was never found despite a massive search effort and it has spawned several conspiracy theories. Great job as always though Simon, loving the content across multiple channels.

Yhea a Dutch navigator is the first known and then the Spanish. Cook discovered the East Coast for the first time and mapped most of the place. He was also the first to suggest making it a colony as the Dutch were traders more at that time and the Spanish were basically out for quick easy cash. Even if the Portuguese did sail there first it'd hardly require a complete rewrite of Australian history. Just a short extra passage at the start.
You missed the biggest one of all Simon! The disappearance of the Prime Minister Harold Holt at Cheviot Beach in 1967. Some say he drowned, some say it was a shark and others swear he was whisked away by a Chinese submarine. Then it a typically Australian fashion the biggest public memorial to the man who supposedly drowned is a council swimming pool.
It's pretty obvious what happened to Harold Holt when you look at where Cheviot Beach is: 38.3117°S 144.6640°E - seriously please have a look. I am still waiting for his family to be presented with his Darwin Award.
@@Andrew-df1dr On the face of it yes, but his body was never found. Given the Prime Minister in Oz is The Grand Poobah it's extraordinary that he went swimming quite alone. Without proof of death conspiracy theories will abound.
@@Andrew-df1dr I know that end of the Mornington Peninsula quite well. Cheviot Beach is incredibly dangerous and in 1967 was part of an Army base, off-limits to almost everybody (except the Pm)
My wife's father worked at the C.S.I.R.O. with both Bogle & Chandler, He also died at an early age, possibly from some type of experimentation they were doing.
The Valentich mystery is quite well known. If you're hearing about it for the first time, are in to UFO's, or simply would like to know more I'd recommend looking it up. For one thing, there is an audio recording of his final transmission. Right before he goes missing there is several seconds of an unknown noise, which sounds like metal scraping against metal. It's a very weird mystery indeed.
You should be giving as much credit to the team behind him that do the research, script writing and editing. Simon is an awesome presenter and he built this channel, but he has a team now and he also acknowledges that himself.
Hi im Aussie and that’s quite offensive you Americans shouldn’t be talking anyway. You guys actually have 305 shootings a year. Austria has had no shootings and no terrorist attacks so I would not talk if I were you
The Bogle Chandler mystery may have been solved. A person who was present at the party gave a statement to the press about 20 years ago. He said that someone at the party poisoned them with dog worming tablets. That person thought this would give them unpleasant gastro symptoms which would ruin their tryst that night but did not expect that it would kill them.
I’m from Melbourne and I was around the same age as Karmein Chan when she went missing. The mere sound of the name Mr Cruel just sent a chill down my spine.
In addition to the Beaumont children, Adelaide also had the two missing girls Chirstie and Gordon from the Adelaide Oval - also never found. I suggest you cover that one too.
So here my chance to have a small claim to fame. Back in 2010 - 2011 I was part of two university geophysics teams conducting surveys looking for the mahogany ship on the costal sand-dunes just west of Warrnambool Victoria. No we didn't find anything in the end, but I still remember hiking up the beach with a backpack full of car batteries all to vividly to this day.
As the author of one of the items cited in the Bogle-Chandler mystery, may I point out that there was no swindling going on, though there was a bit of swinging.
Side projects sounds awesome, looking forward to it 😊 Simon do you do anything other than make videos? They must unchain you for some fun sometimes right? 😂
The biggest mystery in Australia is whatever happened to "Blythe McGann", the famous Australian travelling magician, and why has the internet been wiped of all mention of his life and disappearance in front of 200 stunned onlookers in his final performance in 1856?
Ok how many channels do you have Simon!? Side projects , mega projects , today I found out, biographics, Geographics , the business one , top tens and more ! Damn I love it keep it up man ! Your amazing that’s the most channels ever lol
I'm pretty sure if you were flying upside down, you would notice gravity pulling your face up instead of down. But I'm not a pilot, so I could be wrong.
The 2 most eerie mysteries are the disappearance of Prime Minister Harold Holt while swimming and the fact that Dan the Man still gets unconditional support despite being a complete and utter disaster.
Do you honestly think the Victorian Liberals and Nationals could do any better? Most Victorians probably don't even know who the Opposition leader is. Going by how quiet the opposition has been, I doubt they know who their leader is either.
@@Andrew-df1dr. After more than 6 months Dan still hasn't managed to come up with an answer as to who "organised" the security debacle that was the hotel (lack of) quarantine. Every other state did better than Dan's effort so it's a safe bet that anyone else could have done a better job than him.
How did the army lose not one, but two, wars with emus. One is understandable (have you seen one of the bloody things up close?) but two is humiliating
Gippsland is neither remote nor excessively swampy. It basically starts just east of Melbourne, extends several hundred kilometres east to the border and from the Alps to the coast, and includes mountains, lakes, rivers and farmland
These are always very interesting and very well done, but Simon, HOW could you ignore the greatest Australian mystery ever? On 17 December 1967, Harold Holt, the Prime Minister of Australia, disappeared while swimming in the sea near Portsea, Victoria. An enormous search operation never found anything.
Not bad but seriously mate, no Harold Holt? It’s our JFK moment. Our prime minister disappeared without a trace while going for a swim in the late 60’s, then in possibly one of the most ironic pieces of town planning in modern history got a memorial swimming pool named after him...
A revolver contains a revolving cylinder in which bullets are loaded. Revolvers usually hold six shots. The ATF defines a pistol as any handgun that does not contain its ammunition in a revolving cylinder
Simon's channels take up half my feed. But I was thinking, "Boy simon doesn't make enough content for me!" I got through these videos like skittles. Thanks for another channel Simon, you're the best.
There's actually a beach in South Australia called 'Shipwreck Beach'. It's a giant stretch of massive sand dunes that built up around a shipwreck that's buried there. There's so much sand that you can't actually see the ship anymore. Maybe it's the Mahogany Ship.
There is another mystery that isn't mentioned here, but all Australians know about. This mystery is known as the Wanda Beach Murders. The murders happened in the mid 1960s, but have yet to be solved.

Most of me is here to see what interesting facts you've found out about my country but the other part of me is here to see which pronounciations you'll abominate today. Edit: like Marree (Mar-ee)
Yeah I was thinking about the Albury one. Did anyone see that one where he mis-pronounced Woomera? Cringe. Like I know we can’t expect him to be perfect, but I wonder if he knew that a lot of the places he’s mispronouncing have Aboriginal names, if that would make a difference?
The Somertan Man was covered quite extensively by a podcast called "Unexplained Mysteries", and they laid out what seems to be a very convincing case on a possible identity of the deceased as well as some possible peripheral players/participants.
Frederick Valentich - the "ch" is pronounced like the ch in "itch" here (yeah, pretty much nobody pronounced it properly here, same goes with names that end in "ic" being pronounced "ick" not "itch"). It took years for our most famous mountain to have its name pronounced properly and most people still don't do it.
I'm surprised he didn't cover harrold holt. Our priminister who went missing after a swim at the beach
And then named a pool after him.
And now if you disappear in Australia its called "doin' the Harry Holt"
Was just thinking that!!
I heard they are now looking for a dingo in a wetsuit.

My name is Antonio Agostini
And I’m in strife - I killed the wife
About ten years ago in sunny Melbourne
I lose my head - I killed her dead
She was dead upon that faithful evening
And I was drunk - the hair of the dog
I come home and find my drunken mama
I do her in - with a great big hammer
Then I take the family sedan
I pull the cops cos I’m a nasty man
I drive to Albury to find a drain to put the body in
And then I rode the trolley away from the body of Lin
And when the body of poor Lin was burnin’
I run like hell - phew what a smell!
I very much regret that I must leave her
But I must go - she’s got B.O.
I take a train and drive away to Sydney
And get a job - for 50 bob
Then a policeman he come and take me
Back to Melbourne and in to custody
I lose my hair, it turned grey and almost lost its curl
And then they tried to charge me with the Pajama Girl
They tried me before the judge and jury
I have no friends, the trial she ends
They say I’m a murderer and a slaughter
And so I cheers and get ten years
They put me in the Black Marier Prison

Still an interesting topic for him :)
Ah I didn't know - but it's still an interesting topic - Simon doesn't cover much from Australia
And the Hanging Rock mystery 👍
Egyptian hieroglyphs near Gosford NSW
The Dutch were the first Europeans to set foot on Australia, not the English. Portuguese could possibly have but unfounded so far.
Yhea a Dutch navigator is the first known and then the Spanish. Cook discovered the East Coast for the first time and mapped most of the place. He was also the first to suggest making it a colony as the Dutch were traders more at that time and the Spanish were basically out for quick easy cash. Even if the Portuguese did sail there first it'd hardly require a complete rewrite of Australian history. Just a short extra passage at the start.
You missed the biggest one of all Simon! The disappearance of the Prime Minister Harold Holt at Cheviot Beach in 1967. Some say he drowned, some say it was a shark and others swear he was whisked away by a Chinese submarine. Then it a typically Australian fashion the biggest public memorial to the man who supposedly drowned is a council swimming pool.
It's pretty obvious what happened to Harold Holt when you look at where Cheviot Beach is: 38.3117°S 144.6640°E - seriously please have a look. I am still waiting for his family to be presented with his Darwin Award.
@@Andrew-df1dr On the face of it yes, but his body was never found. Given the Prime Minister in Oz is The Grand Poobah it's extraordinary that he went swimming quite alone. Without proof of death conspiracy theories will abound.
@@Andrew-df1dr I know that end of the Mornington Peninsula quite well. Cheviot Beach is incredibly dangerous and in 1967 was part of an Army base, off-limits to almost everybody (except the Pm)
Ive never heard of this incident before, but what makes some think it might have been a Chinese submarine ?
@@Andrew-df1dr He already had kids .. so, no Darwin Award for him
My wife's father worked at the C.S.I.R.O. with both Bogle & Chandler, He also died at an early age, possibly from some type of experimentation they were doing.
The Valentich mystery is quite well known. If you're hearing about it for the first time, are in to UFO's, or simply would like to know more I'd recommend looking it up. For one thing, there is an audio recording of his final transmission. Right before he goes missing there is several seconds of an unknown noise, which sounds like metal scraping against metal. It's a very weird mystery indeed.
The Somerton Man mystery has finally been solved. Yet it is still intriguing.
Love your stuff thanks for the hard work
Simon literally puts so much effort into all this channels the amount of the research and facts, you truly r underrated
You should be giving as much credit to the team behind him that do the research, script writing and editing. Simon is an awesome presenter and he built this channel, but he has a team now and he also acknowledges that himself.
I got irrationally happy when I heard Simon pronounce “Melbourne” right
I got irrationally unhappy when he mispronounced Albury 😭
@@lexiefaulkner9729 same 😭
@@lexiefaulkner9729 And Bogle.
I get irrationally happy when I hear upper class British accents saying long words
yeah because he isnt American
Loving all the Aussie content over the channels! Greetings from Western Australia
Too bad we didn't get anything on the list 😭
Yo you have to do a part 2! There’s so much in Australia yo!
The Beaumont children disappearance ,rocked and shocked us especially south aussies ! Will we ever know ? Hopefully one day some one will talk !
Most Australians can't tell the difference between a revolver and pistol anyway.
This Australian certainly doesn’t!
Hi im Aussie and that’s quite offensive you Americans shouldn’t be talking anyway. You guys actually have 305 shootings a year. Austria has had no shootings and no terrorist attacks so I would not talk if I were you
@@randomcrap5020 I am offended that you are offended enough to drag Austria into a discussion about Australia.
To be fair, most people don't know the difference. Rather like the clip vs. Magazine discussions.
@@randomcrap5020 Austria? Bruh, as a fellow Australian you failed at our defence.
Stop assuming people are American.
Also you're facts are wrong 😅
The Bogle Chandler mystery may have been solved. A person who was present at the party gave a statement to the press about 20 years ago. He said that someone at the party poisoned them with dog worming tablets. That person thought this would give them unpleasant gastro symptoms which would ruin their tryst that night but did not expect that it would kill them.
I’m from Melbourne and I was around the same age as Karmein Chan when she went missing.
The mere sound of the name Mr Cruel just sent a chill down my spine.
Still does
Watching from TN, USA. Find your channels absolutely fascinating! Keep up the quality work!
In addition to the Beaumont children, Adelaide also had the two missing girls Chirstie and Gordon from the Adelaide Oval - also never found. I suggest you cover that one too.
Love watching this stuff on my lunch breaks
Thank you!!
I love your program. Keep it up. (But it’s ok to take a break 😂) Love you!
Fr😭😂
So here my chance to have a small claim to fame. Back in 2010 - 2011 I was part of two university geophysics teams conducting surveys looking for the mahogany ship on the costal sand-dunes just west of Warrnambool Victoria. No we didn't find anything in the end, but I still remember hiking up the beach with a backpack full of car batteries all to vividly to this day.
When we getting a Top Tenz "Simon Whistler Channels" ??
As the author of one of the items cited in the Bogle-Chandler mystery, may I point out that there was no swindling going on, though there was a bit of swinging.
Side projects sounds awesome, looking forward to it 😊 Simon do you do anything other than make videos? They must unchain you for some fun sometimes right? 😂
Side projects is already out
Great veiwing as usual and cheers for sharing these.
Most I thought I knew alot about, clearly not everything.
Me: This channel looks interesting
Simon: Hey RUclips, Simon here
Loved it, mate.
The biggest mystery in Australia is whatever happened to "Blythe McGann", the famous Australian travelling magician, and why has the internet been wiped of all mention of his life and disappearance in front of 200 stunned onlookers in his final performance in 1856?
???
A link to anything or more info ?
Simon doens't make enough content for me? Dude! I don't know how you do it. Major respect! Thanks for everything you do.
Somerton man has now been solved :)
These videos are such a savior for long stretches at work. Always happy with more channels and content.
You're fired Marshall.
The disappearance of Silverchair is Australia's biggest mystery/tragedy
Busy stomping frogs
They decided to be normal again and moved home.
🤣
@@Z020852 🤣
what was mysterious about that?
Damn, another channel.. Gotta admire the amount of work that must be put in, thanks.
I'm surprised that the missing "Beaumont Children " were not included in this list .
I’m an Aussie and never heard of any of these until now. Loved it!
You have never heard of the Somerton man? Or the Mahogany ship?
Simon must have an army of clones working in tandem. There is simply no other explanation for the amount of content he puts out.
He only reads the scripts. Other people do the scripts, the editing, etc.
Simon for 'Jeopardy' host. That's what I'M screamin'!
I love watching the Australian videos Simon does.. purely for his slaughtering his pronunciation of Aussie names
Ok how many channels do you have Simon!? Side projects , mega projects , today I found out, biographics, Geographics , the business one , top tens and more ! Damn I love it keep it up man ! Your amazing that’s the most channels ever lol
Totally missing Harold Holt - our disappearing prime minister.
Was that the guy who was eaten by Jaws?
A giant whale swallowed the pm. Like in the bible when one swallowed Jonah.
Did anyone check Hawaii?
I was hoping you had something about the Harold Hult disappearance.
Love all your channels, keep up the great work you do.
I'm pretty sure if you were flying upside down, you would notice gravity pulling your face up instead of down.
But I'm not a pilot, so I could be wrong.
The plane Valentich was flying was hardly designed for aerobatics so for "flying upside down" read "falling upside down".
The 2 most eerie mysteries are the disappearance of Prime Minister Harold Holt while swimming and the fact that Dan the Man still gets unconditional support despite being a complete and utter disaster.
Do you honestly think the Victorian Liberals and Nationals could do any better? Most Victorians probably don't even know who the Opposition leader is. Going by how quiet the opposition has been, I doubt they know who their leader is either.
@@Andrew-df1dr. After more than 6 months Dan still hasn't managed to come up with an answer as to who "organised" the security debacle that was the hotel (lack of) quarantine. Every other state did better than Dan's effort so it's a safe bet that anyone else could have done a better job than him.
How did the army lose not one, but two, wars with emus. One is understandable (have you seen one of the bloody things up close?) but two is humiliating
Have you watched Australian Drunk Histories on ch 10? Only the other night, they did one on Army v Emus, so bloody funny🤣
Hi John from WI. You did a really nice job on this video,, thanks
What about the disappearance of the Prime Minister Harold Holt?
Les Norton wrote a novel theory, that he was buried under a slab of a skyscraper
Absolute LEGEND! (Allegedly)
Harold Holts vanishing will be on here
He obviously drowned but maybe worth an honourable mention
He didn't vanish, he a did a bolt
Hardest working content creator right here hands down! Dont work so hard mate cheers!
I walked over London Bridge just a few months ago! It was 100° F (38° C) at midnight.
Is that the one in Arizona?
@@bogusmogus9551 Yep
Awesome video once again Simon Whistler Thank You and have a blessed day my dear friend
Honestly one day every channel on RUclips will be Simon Whistler's.
Its the year 2050 Simon Whistler has just taken over Pewdiepie's channel... resistance is futile there is only Simon
Gippsland is neither remote nor excessively swampy. It basically starts just east of Melbourne, extends several hundred kilometres east to the border and from the Alps to the coast, and includes mountains, lakes, rivers and farmland
It's great farming land and has countless beautiful spots.
@@Andrew-df1dr my sister in law’s family used to have a dairy farm near Yarram, bang between the Strzeleckis and the coast
It wasn't a revolver, it was a pistol? Fascinating.
Simon, you make the best content. I have seen every single video across 6 of your channels and it's not enough haha
The town in the first mystery is pronounced all-bury
These are always very interesting and very well done, but Simon, HOW could you ignore the greatest Australian mystery ever? On 17 December 1967, Harold Holt, the Prime Minister of Australia, disappeared while swimming in the sea near Portsea, Victoria. An enormous search operation never found anything.
Because he was turned into shark poop, long ago.
@@georgebrandy3896 Sure, most likely, but it remains a mystery and he was leader of a major nation.
Being born there, I object to your pronunciation of Albury.
Everyone says "all-bree"
Or “orbry”
Not bad but seriously mate, no Harold Holt? It’s our JFK moment. Our prime minister disappeared without a trace while going for a swim in the late 60’s, then in possibly one of the most ironic pieces of town planning in modern history got a memorial swimming pool named after him...
Also a more fitting a navy base in WA in his honour
Simon, you know a revolver is a pistol unless it is a rifle size revolver.
A revolver contains a revolving cylinder in which bullets are loaded. Revolvers usually hold six shots. The ATF defines a pistol as any handgun that does not contain its ammunition in a revolving cylinder
@@ollieb9875 The ATF doesn't have jurisdiction in Albury. In Both British an Australian English (most) revolvers are pistols.
Simon's channels take up half my feed. But I was thinking, "Boy simon doesn't make enough content for me!" I got through these videos like skittles. Thanks for another channel Simon, you're the best.
I thought for sure Harold Holt would make this list
Just watched a video that was 6 years old, you've come so far from when you started
Coming soon Simon's 111th channel called "I just wanted to set a record"
There's actually a beach in South Australia called 'Shipwreck Beach'. It's a giant stretch of massive sand dunes that built up around a shipwreck that's buried there. There's so much sand that you can't actually see the ship anymore. Maybe it's the Mahogany Ship.
Wrong state unfortunately. The Mahogany Ship is speculated to be in Victoria, not South Australia.
simon do u even get any sleep at this point
There is another mystery that isn't mentioned here, but all Australians know about. This mystery is known as the Wanda Beach Murders. The murders happened in the mid 1960s, but have yet to be solved.
Re: the pilot...no mystery, the guy inverted - spatial D is no joke
Loved it, you should have a think about doing a unexpected mystery video on New Zealand next haha
I'm starting to think Simon has multi personality disorder.
Allegedly...
Cocaine is a hell of a drug
Given the apparent effects I would say the use of the word "disorder" is a tad hasty.
My man Simon is always on the grind just subscribed to mega projects my man thanks
There is a difference between a “revolver” and a “pistol?”
He also doesn't know anything about spain
What do you expect from a Brit? lol.
A revolver contains a revolving cylinder in which bullets are loaded. Revolvers usually hold six shots. The ATF defines a pistol as any handgun that does not contain its ammunition in a revolving cylinder
Damn Simon working double time😂🙌🏽
Most of me is here to see what interesting facts you've found out about my country but the other part of me is here to see which pronounciations you'll abominate today.
Edit: like Marree (Mar-ee)
Me too! :D
The mispronunciation of Albury killed me
Yeah I was thinking about the Albury one. Did anyone see that one where he mis-pronounced Woomera? Cringe. Like I know we can’t expect him to be perfect, but I wonder if he knew that a lot of the places he’s mispronouncing have Aboriginal names, if that would make a difference?
@@puckmunro2162 I also enjoyed this mispronunciation. Having grown up there I'm surprised the story isn't familiar at all
The Somertan Man was covered quite extensively by a podcast called "Unexplained Mysteries", and they laid out what seems to be a very convincing case on a possible identity of the deceased as well as some possible peripheral players/participants.
It's been covered quite extensively in a *lot* of places.
“MAHOGANY”
I get it, it's a beautiful desk, can I just go to heav... Where am I?
This is a blast from the past. XD XD
So the new channel is a side project about side projects? That's ridiculously fun and I shall go subscribe immediately. LOL
Frederick Valentich - the "ch" is pronounced like the ch in "itch" here (yeah, pretty much nobody pronounced it properly here, same goes with names that end in "ic" being pronounced "ick" not "itch"). It took years for our most famous mountain to have its name pronounced properly and most people still don't do it.
Skipping around the Whistlerverse engaging on posts and notating beard anomalies. Rock on Simon.
