Yes indeed. I used to live in the area. The town of Wanchese, just a few miles from the colony, used to be a native tribe. Over the years the locals now have a mixed appearance of native and British features.
@@scottinWV Most Native American people currently have mixed ancestry, especially on the East Coast where colonization started. The fact that people in the area of the colony are mixed means nothing.
Yeah it’s pretty much just a mystery created by racism. Huh the only clue is an arrow and the name of a nearby indigenous community. Well we know good white folk would never just join a local tribe so I can’t make head nor tail of this mystery.
There’s also another thing about the DB cooper case. He also smoked cigarettes in which the police FAILED to gather up. With todays technology we would’ve found a dna match!
2:45 - Chapter 1 - Who killed black dahlia ? 4:55 - Chapter 2 - Who was DB Cooper ? 7:20 - Chapter 3 - Where is Jimmy Hoffa ? 11:05 - Chapter 4 - Who was jack the ripper ? 13:10 - Chapter 5 - What happened to the colony roanoke ?
@@trevormillar1576 the meaning of life is movement, it's purpose of life is to make the ultimate choice. Yes, there is life after death for all; however it's only for a part of each person. A part of all people is lost for all eternity while another part lives on for all eternity. The amount of each depend on each individuals purpose of life determined by their meaning of life.
The only answer that I can surmise is that the only person that's actually in the basement is Simon all of the writers exist outside of that and control him
My aunt Deb lived around bay city Michigan that we used to go to. She said it was haunted. Some guy in a prison said that Jimmy Hoffa's body and a bunch of money was buried on the premises. They dug up her backyard and basement and didn't find Jimmy or any money but found a corpse wrapped up in the basement. She moved out after that lol
Charles Allen "Cross" Lechmere, a carman, or cart driver, for the Pickfords company, driving a cart to and from a local slaughterhouse was the first person known to have been at the scene of Polly Nichols body in Whitechapel, London in 1888. Apparently born Lechmere, Cross was the name of his step-father. He gave the police the name of Cross, but when they investigated there was no one by that name at his claimed address, however, there was a Charles Allen Lechmere living there. According to students or "Ripperology" the killer of Polly Nichols was interrupted. With the exception of being nearly beheaded, her injuries were almost mild by comparison to the other victims. Another carman, Robert Paul, walked up on Lechmere while he was leaning over the body. Lechmere is linked not only to the Whitechapel Murders, but also to the longer series of killings known as the Thames Torso Murders. In addition, other murders of a similar kind, taking place between 1873 and 1902, have also been associated with the same murder series. There has been a rumor circulating to the affect that a crematorium operator arrived at work only to find the crematorium oven had been used, but not cleaned. In cleaning the oven, he found human remains, 2 lumps of melted lead and a burned and partially melted revolver. This hints of a mob hit, and it was the same time Hoffa disappeared.
There are a couple of possibilities for DB Cooper. A RUclips channel called Probable Cause which talks about aviation accidents among other things has a very good video about it.
I feel the need to share that someone basically HAS solved the Ripper mystery! There' s a documentary about it right here on RUclips, sponsored by National Geographic. He spent 20 years putting together evidence so convincing that an actual Crown prosecutor was like "yeah, if this case was brought before me at a BARE MINIMUM this guy would have some very hard questions to answer." His conclusion was that it was Charles Lechmere, the man who "found" the first victim, and his work on the case is absolutely stunning. I strongly recommend looking it up.
As a lifetime resident of the area where 'Cooper' jumped, I'm firmly in the 'he might conceivably have survived the jump, but he didn't survive the mountains' camp. That area has almost killed me a couple of times, and I was at least somewhat prepared for what it has to throw at me. The man called Cooper was not at all prepared for spending a winter night in the Cascade Mountains, even if he actually survived the landing. We'll never know for certain, of course. That's why the whole story is interesting. If we knew who he was and how he died, nobody would care in the least, just another failed hijacker story from a long time ago.
@@jeffk464 And I claim my $5! 😎 You can send it to the Red Cross as a donation. Make sure it isn't rotted though, I'm sure they would prefer usable cash.
Even with no evidence of prep I think he could have had supplies stashed because obviously he didn't have anything when he jumped. The moves he made were far from stupid so it makes u think he wouldn't be so rash, this is assuming he didn't just arrive at his plan due to someone else's thinking
Did he say grandson? Wasn't Virginia Dare the first English child born in an English colony? Last time I checked, which was a few moments ago, she was a female. That would make her his granddaughter.
Agree on the first four, likely unsolvable. But Roanoke appears to be closer to a logical conclusion than ever before. Reason, those intrepid investigators known as archaeologists. Carefully tracing artifacts of English manufacture. Carefully dating them. But patience is required as analysis and new digs will continue.
The whole Hoffa thing has gotten so distorted it's beyond solveing. A couple of points tho, We had a cabin in Lovells, Mich (pop. about 50). There were some very nice lodges on large tracts of land that were owned by questionable people from Detroit. In Waters, MIch., about 20 miles away there was a topless joint and a bar that were also supposedly owned by said people. This was 50+ years ago, oddly both businesses burned down in close time span. The point is, why would you haul a body to NY or Jersey when theres 1000s of acres of woods 200 miles away? The woodchipper thing is plausible but Fla? All you need is 2 or 3 hogs to complely 'absorb' a ground body in less than a day. It's just a convoluted mess that will never be solved
Roanoake would have been the first English settlement in America but the Spanish already had various colonies such as St. Augustine established in 1565
Roanoke was solved. The settlers were essentially abandoned and they went to join the local Indian tribe for a better life. The british didnt want to admit that so they called it an unsolved mystery.
I rented a small cottage in 2004. My two year old daughter ran through the empty rooms when we first arrived. Normal so far. Then she ripped aside the shower curtain like it might be hiding the wizard of oz and I got curious. I asked her what she was looking for. She answered, "I'm lookin' for jimmy hoffa!" My two year old. In 2004. I'm still not over it. 😂😂
Heck yeah fact boi I’m the same age as you and have been watching RUclips as long as you have and you are my favourite RUclipsr! Thanks to you and your team for your fine work. Keep it up! Cheers!
My personal theory is there wasn't just one Ripper. The last murder attributed to him is so gruesome and different from the others, I think it was someone else that had real rage toward the victim.
just rich psychos, organized and above the law. it was UK. they had kid prisoners on ships getting porked by richies in the bay, so... you think Epstein was the first?
I'm surprised that the "Princes in the Tower" didn't make it onto this list. If I had a time machine, that would probably be the first mystery I would try to solve 😂
Based on the video Jack The Ripper: The New Evidence, the Ripper was the very man who initially found the body: Charles Lechmere a.k.a. Charles Cross. It paints the most compelling case I've yet seen for the White Chapel murderer. As far as I'm concerned, much like the Zodiac's identity being that of Arthur Leigh Allen, the true perpetrator of those murders is essentially, a known fact.
That Swedish journalist wrote a very compelling presentation of the butcher man as the Ripper. He was the one who found the first victim and it's argued he was caught with her and covered himself by saying he had found her. She had not yet bled out according to witness accounts and he scattered before the police arrived. Very compelling discussuon
Yes, I especially liked, that unlike every1 else, who either was just in it for the grift or went into it with a pet theory and went through their "investigation" focused on proving their chosen suspect guilty, he actually went into it with a completely open mind and simply started sorting provable facts from fiction and lore and spent 25 years following leads and investigating everything in the area in an extended time period including both b4 and after the usual 5 murders, instead of just assuming that those 5 murders were all by the same murderer and no other murders were connected like most others do without actually checking. Also, that while he believes, that he eventually got to the most likely suspect, he is still of an open mind and willing to be proven wrong, if ppl can bring new (provable) evidence and/or logical arguments for it.
My favorite murder mystery is the Black Dahlia, I'm naming my baby girl Dahlia in memory and tribute to Elizabeth Short. My favorite flower is also the Dahlia, so I just tell people that explanation rather than the other because they give me looks. Hers was the first murder mystery I ever learned about on a TV show that I loved, Mysteries at the Museum. I also did a report and speech about her, so it's just fitting that I'd give her tribute for jump starting my curiosity for real life at a young age.
One of the best Hoffa theories I ever heard of was that he was fed into a wood chipper over or at the Everglades and then the chipper was dumped in the Atlantic. Can't even remember which 'documentary' I was watching that put that one forward but it's a fairly efficient way of disposal - the critters eat the remains, and a search area to find a wood chipper would be so large as to make it damn near impossible to find, especially if it was tossed out of a plane in pieces.
I think it was the CIA who killed Hoffa. It happened right around the time that the CIA was going crazy, stamping out anything with the slightest hint of socialism or anything that threatened corporate profits with wildly illegal methods. Hoffa's union efforts were too successful.
Wow. People are really reaching aren't they? Why would they ever consider trying something like that? First of all Hoffa wouldn't be dumb enough to go to Florida and think he would ever come home again under the circumstances. Second, he was killed in the Midwest so why would they transport a dead body all the way to Jersey or to florida? They wouldn't is the answer. He was not killed by Ed Sheerhan either. The Mob had him killed in a house in either Detroit or chicago. And he was disposed of most likely in the incinerator as described. There was an incinerator very close by to the house he was killed in as I understand it.
the most likely one i've heard is double tapped stuffed in an oil drum put in an old van with a bunch of other scrap the van crushed and sent to a steel remelt furnace!!
Daniel Cohen's article on Hoffa surmised that Hoffa's body had been destroyed in a rendering plant, which would be a good way to get rid of a corpse. I've never heard this from anyone else, though.
My father was able to trace his mother’s direct patrilineal line direct to establishment of Virginia company, my grandfather is a Bailey, three Bailys joined Virginia company in 1621. My father’s family was on the American frontier since the early 1700s, moving west as the nation expanded with some documented and an unknown number of undocumented marriages with Native Americans.
Woah, woah, woah... we do WAY more than just eat all day. We also watch not-soccer football, get drunk, and threaten to ruin everyone's year/relationships with a heated political debates.
This was an interesting video. However, seems kinda weird that the vast majority of mysteries were from the US, with one British one. There is a huge world out there that is not the US, and there must be tons of fascinating mysteries out there that probably haven't already been covered quite so many times. I just worry that we may be missing out on some really interesting lesser known stories that people would love to hear about due to an unnecessary focus on the US. Keep up the great work!
Roanoke was a British Colony. Then there's the fact that the US is far larger and far less civilized than Great Britain. (Remember, Europe's enema made up our population)
It's quite possible that the only person who could possibly figure out the true identity of Jack The Ripper was not even a real person at all: Sherlock Holmes.
medical examiners take fingerprints and dental x rays! the problem is if they don;t have a criminal record or have been in civil service there's nothing to compare too!! plus fingerprints are not as iron clad as the G wants everybody to think they are!
Regarding Jimmy Hoffa- In August 1975, Jimmy's body was run through a tree shredder up in the woods off an access road to the Zilwaukee Bridge construction area. So were the two thugs that delivered him to the disposal area. The Gvmt Operative who did it was me..........
The United States has an additional holiday? Lmao. How many little things do you have across the pond? Bank day, left sock backwards day, runny pudding day, orange no tax day, argyle sweater on a corgi day; you know paid holidays... 😉
Simon, American Thanksgiving isn't *that* weird. It's basically a harvest festival. Most agrarian or formerly agrarian societies have one. And what better way to celebrate a recent successful harvest than to stuff yourself until your gut explodes? Abd you don't *have* to eat turkey. Personally, an Italian feast for Thanksgiving sounds just about perfect.
Personally, I find American Thanksgiving weird for a different reason. That u celebrate the sharing of food between the colonists and the local natives, yet completely ignore everything that has followed from within months of that feast and the centuries since then.
Dan Gryder has a channel here called 'Probable Cause'. He did a Docu-Series on D.B. Cooper, it's really good. He found out who D.B Cooper was. I won't spoil anything, but go see it, it's called 'Deep family secrets'.
If Nixon hadn't pardoned Hoffa, Hoffa probably would have lived at least a little longer. I have wondered what Nixon expected for that pardon, besides the votes of the Teamsters and probably many donations. Would that have been enough?
Yeah, but that has been mostly debunked, as his father has been investigated by several pros, after he came out with his belief, and it just doesnt add up. Doesnt mean, that his father isnt the murderer, but his argumentation for it doesnt hold water.
I'm fairly addicted to all your stuff! To help with how we Yanks pronounce things, no one who lives in Nevada pronounces it "Ne-VAH-da." It's pronounced "Ne-VAA-da" with the "a" pronounced more like we pronounce "cat" than we would say "Ah!" Love y'all. Keep up the great work!
It drives me nuts when I hear Nevada mispronounced even though I only passed through the state once. We do have a Nevada here in Missouri pronounced with a long a in the second syllable.
Read a book about unsolved murders once, and it said that the one thing that could actually crack the Black Dahlia case now would be modern forensic science and DNA testing. If not for the fact that all the physical evidence in the case has disappeared down the years. Same goes for Bella in the Witch Elm, a famous unsolved murder from 1940's Britain. Which is worth a google if anyone hasn't heard of it. One historical mystery that intrigues me. On the day before Rudolf Hess made his flight to Scotland, he went to Berlin and had an hour long meeting with Hitler. Just the two of them in a room. No note or minute taker. And neither ever said, for the rest of their lives, what they discussed. What did they talk about? Did Hitler know what Hess planned? We'll never know.
@@Cypresssina if you look at the evidence, there's really no other conclusion that it was solved. It was never solved in the beginning because the FBI screwed up amazingly. And later they killed Floyd in cold blood.
The X-Files chief villain, originally called the cigarette smoking man, was later called DB Cooper as a homage, to the mystery hijacker. When Lake Mead near Las Vegas went down in volume, during last summer's heatwave, the bodies of two suspected murder victims were found, as well as a suspected suicide.
My great uncle was questioned in the black dahlia killing. At the time he worked at a bar near where she was last seen and lived near where she was found dead. He may have further raised eyebrows because he had disappeared years earlier (family had no idea what happened to him) and he reappeared years later living in LA under a new name. Did he do it? Naw...I knew him and he was a goofball.
How crazy would it be if D.B. Cooper didn't get caught because he never spent the money because him and the money were separated in the way down and he never found it, just for some kid to find what was left in the 80's. Most infamous highjacker in history and he never got the money 😂
The saddest thing about the lost colony is that everything suggested Europeans would get along with and intermarry natives. It's what the Spaniards did in South America (after all the looting of course). Until the lost colony happened. Then the British became distrustful of the natives. Fighting broke out between them. Fighting which lasted 200 years as each side couldn't let the past die. Nobody even knew what started it anymore but everything went wrong because of the lost colony of Roanoke.
Get that spot on your nose looked at I had similar in 2004. The result of the biopsy I had came back and it found I had a Basel Cell Carcinoma Luckily it was still benign. Though if I had left it much longer it could have turned serious I had 5 x 1 hour sessions of radio therapy which blasted the infected cells away. This is not a wind up I am serious. I like your videos that can be entertaining both serious and funny.. Get it sorted Kind regards Kelvin Riach Lincoln England
The Roanoke has been solved for a bit now. It's was also in a video from Simon. It was like things are solved that people still think are unsolved or something. Roanoke, Bermuda Triangle, Russian radio active hikers. All solved.

You'd only find a match if you had DNA on file to match it to.

One of the best Hoffa theories I ever heard of was that he was fed into a wood chipper over or at the Everglades and then the chipper was dumped in the Atlantic. Can't even remember which 'documentary' I was watching that put that one forward but it's a fairly efficient way of disposal - the critters eat the remains, and a search area to find a wood chipper would be so large as to make it damn near impossible to find, especially if it was tossed out of a plane in pieces.
I think it was the CIA who killed Hoffa. It happened right around the time that the CIA was going crazy, stamping out anything with the slightest hint of socialism or anything that threatened corporate profits with wildly illegal methods. Hoffa's union efforts were too successful.
Wow. People are really reaching aren't they? Why would they ever consider trying something like that? First of all Hoffa wouldn't be dumb enough to go to Florida and think he would ever come home again under the circumstances. Second, he was killed in the Midwest so why would they transport a dead body all the way to Jersey or to florida? They wouldn't is the answer. He was not killed by Ed Sheerhan either. The Mob had him killed in a house in either Detroit or chicago. And he was disposed of most likely in the incinerator as described. There was an incinerator very close by to the house he was killed in as I understand it.
the most likely one i've heard is double tapped stuffed in an oil drum put in an old van with a bunch of other scrap the van crushed and sent to a steel remelt furnace!!
That's the most ridiculous theory I've heard. There's no evidence for it they're just pulling that theory out there ass
And he was operating out of the northeast why would he be down in Florida. And where would they get a plane from that you could fit a woodchipper in
"It's holiday season once again" - says Simon recording this video in June
Daniel Cohen's article on Hoffa surmised that Hoffa's body had been destroyed in a rendering plant, which would be a good way to get rid of a corpse. I've never heard this from anyone else, though.
My father was able to trace his mother’s direct patrilineal line direct to establishment of Virginia company, my grandfather is a Bailey, three Bailys joined Virginia company in 1621. My father’s family was on the American frontier since the early 1700s, moving west as the nation expanded with some documented and an unknown number of undocumented marriages with Native Americans.
Woah, woah, woah... we do WAY more than just eat all day. We also watch not-soccer football, get drunk, and threaten to ruin everyone's year/relationships with a heated political debates.
This was an interesting video.
However, seems kinda weird that the vast majority of mysteries were from the US, with one British one. There is a huge world out there that is not the US, and there must be tons of fascinating mysteries out there that probably haven't already been covered quite so many times. I just worry that we may be missing out on some really interesting lesser known stories that people would love to hear about due to an unnecessary focus on the US.
Keep up the great work!
Roanoke was a British Colony. Then there's the fact that the US is far larger and far less civilized than Great Britain. (Remember, Europe's enema made up our population)
Who put Bella in the witch elm? That's a fascinating British one.
It's quite possible that the only person who could possibly figure out the true identity of Jack The Ripper was not even a real person at all: Sherlock Holmes.
Maybe if we took fingerprints of people that pass away we’d find some of the missing fingerprints. Great video as always
Not a bad idea, actually.
We do
medical examiners take fingerprints and dental x rays! the problem is if they don;t have a criminal record or have been in civil service there's nothing to compare too!! plus fingerprints are not as iron clad as the G wants everybody to think they are!
That seems like a privacy violation.
@@MeanBeanComedy it does but that doesn't mean we don't deserve to know if our grandparents were murderers lol
Virginia Dare was the white child born at Roanoke. Peregrine White was born in the Plymouth Colony
Did you say Abe Lincoln?
Nah, man. I said "Hey, Blinkist!"
that last one would make a great thriller/horror movie
Regarding Jimmy Hoffa- In August 1975, Jimmy's body was run through a tree shredder up in the woods off an access road to the Zilwaukee Bridge construction area.
So were the two thugs that delivered him to the disposal area.
The Gvmt Operative who did it was me..........
The United States has an additional holiday? Lmao. How many little things do you have across the pond? Bank day, left sock backwards day, runny pudding day, orange no tax day, argyle sweater on a corgi day; you know paid holidays... 😉
I.ve been to Roanoke Island and discovered what must have happened to the colonists: the mosquitoes got them!
Some of the Jack the Ripper letters are believed to be fake too. I’ve listened to several podcasts on the topic and it’s pretty fascinating.
Simon, American Thanksgiving isn't *that* weird. It's basically a harvest festival. Most agrarian or formerly agrarian societies have one. And what better way to celebrate a recent successful harvest than to stuff yourself until your gut explodes? Abd you don't *have* to eat turkey. Personally, an Italian feast for Thanksgiving sounds just about perfect.
Personally, I find American Thanksgiving weird for a different reason. That u celebrate the sharing of food between the colonists and the local natives, yet completely ignore everything that has followed from within months of that feast and the centuries since then.
@@dfuher968 that's fair.
I still think D. B. Cooper was a malfunctioning Terminator.
Iirc there's pretty decent genetic evidence that the Roanoke people integrated into the Croatoans.
White actually had a grand daughter, her name was Virginia Dare
Is that a Breitling Navitimer on your wrist? Looks like the ‘16-‘19 special edition in blue only dial.
I feel like the britts are having fun watching the American experiment fail
If only there was someway to decode all the answers left unknown 😊
Are you saying that someone should attempt to decode the unknown? Maybe having a relaxing British accent would help as well.
@@lovingtennessee7726 perhaps some of these require a criminalist to analyze thing, not too seriously….just casually
@@Menuki that might be a mega project to not dive into the shadows with how dark some of these stories could become
@@lovingtennessee7726 ffģ1
Heck, if a plane bomber is asking for a parachute, would you give him one that works?
Here’s an unanswered question Simon. Where’s that jacket from?? 😂
5:27 a coin? A coin said he had a bomb on it? I thought he gave her a note. could be wrong tho
Dan Gryder has a channel here called 'Probable Cause'. He did a Docu-Series on D.B. Cooper, it's really good. He found out who D.B Cooper was.
I won't spoil anything, but go see it, it's called 'Deep family secrets'.
The Band “Black Dahlia Murder” is awsome 🤘🏼 give ‘em a listen
Wait, SIMON HAS LEGS !?
Maybe they’ll find him when lake mead completely dries up
They could solve some if DNA was kept.
Growing up in the area, my mom always said Hoffa was dumped into the concrete of the Rouge plant that was being built at the time
If Nixon hadn't pardoned Hoffa, Hoffa probably would have lived at least a little longer. I have wondered what Nixon expected for that pardon, besides the votes of the Teamsters and probably many donations. Would that have been enough?
There is a retired police detective who’s father was a doctor, who used to disappear at times. He believes it could have been his father.
Yeah, but that has been mostly debunked, as his father has been investigated by several pros, after he came out with his belief, and it just doesnt add up. Doesnt mean, that his father isnt the murderer, but his argumentation for it doesnt hold water.
....am I the only one who had a BuzzFeed unsolved checklist going in their minds. The Ghoul Boys have covered all of these mysteries!!
So did Simon, in other channels.
They manually checked 100 million dabs for the black dahlia? How?
White's granddaughter, Virginia Dare, was the fist English born in America.
Have they continued to chuck finger print records for the Elizabeth Smart case
Loves Christmas that much he became Rudolph the red nose storyteller
Interesting material as usual. There appears to be an Urn on the shelf over his left shoulder. Wonder if it's occupied?
Cactus figurines.
What is the theme / focus of the sideprojects channel again...?
Excuse me! How dare you insult America! We don't have a whole holiday devoted to eating! We have 2!!!! bwahahaha
Jesus Christ! Or should I say, "Jesus Christ?" I look forward to part 2.
I'm fairly addicted to all your stuff! To help with how we Yanks pronounce things, no one who lives in Nevada pronounces it "Ne-VAH-da." It's pronounced "Ne-VAA-da" with the "a" pronounced more like we pronounce "cat" than we would say "Ah!" Love y'all. Keep up the great work!
It drives me nuts when I hear Nevada mispronounced even though I only passed through the state once. We do have a Nevada here in Missouri pronounced with a long a in the second syllable.
Oh well, he is a Brit living in Europe so we get his accent.
Read a book about unsolved murders once, and it said that the one thing that could actually crack the Black Dahlia case now would be modern forensic science and DNA testing. If not for the fact that all the physical evidence in the case has disappeared down the years. Same goes for Bella in the Witch Elm, a famous unsolved murder from 1940's Britain. Which is worth a google if anyone hasn't heard of it.
One historical mystery that intrigues me. On the day before Rudolf Hess made his flight to Scotland, he went to Berlin and had an hour long meeting with Hitler. Just the two of them in a room. No note or minute taker. And neither ever said, for the rest of their lives, what they discussed. What did they talk about? Did Hitler know what Hess planned? We'll never know.
I mean... They were Nazis. Probably Nazi stuff.
Sorry, but DB Cooper has been solved quite a while ago. The man's name is Richard Floyd McCoy. And he did something very similar the following year.
It is a theory. It's not solved. Richard Floyd McCoy didn't drink or smoke. Of course that could have been him trying to throw people off.
@@Cypresssina if you look at the evidence, there's really no other conclusion that it was solved. It was never solved in the beginning because the FBI screwed up amazingly. And later they killed Floyd in cold blood.
all of these mysteries have been solved to my satisfaction except of Hoffa
The X-Files chief villain, originally called the cigarette smoking man, was later called DB Cooper as a homage, to the mystery hijacker.
When Lake Mead near Las Vegas went down in volume, during last summer's heatwave, the bodies of two suspected murder victims were found, as well as a suspected suicide.
My great uncle was questioned in the black dahlia killing. At the time he worked at a bar near where she was last seen and lived near where she was found dead. He may have further raised eyebrows because he had disappeared years earlier (family had no idea what happened to him) and he reappeared years later living in LA under a new name. Did he do it? Naw...I knew him and he was a goofball.
The answer is all the same for all these mysteries.... It was THE NESSY, THE LOCKNESS MONSTER !!!
Jimmy Hoffa was abducted by aliens...
...And they ate him.
loch*
@@seeingyouaround Also: Nessie 🙂
How crazy would it be if D.B. Cooper didn't get caught because he never spent the money because him and the money were separated in the way down and he never found it, just for some kid to find what was left in the 80's. Most infamous highjacker in history and he never got the money 😂
13:27 Granddaughter, not Grandson. Her name was Virginia Dare
Other mysteries I'd like to know the answer to: the truth of the JFK assassination, Amelia Earhart, World Trade Center #7, Marie Celeste, and um....
The saddest thing about the lost colony is that everything suggested Europeans would get along with and intermarry natives. It's what the Spaniards did in South America (after all the looting of course). Until the lost colony happened. Then the British became distrustful of the natives. Fighting broke out between them. Fighting which lasted 200 years as each side couldn't let the past die. Nobody even knew what started it anymore but everything went wrong because of the lost colony of Roanoke.
The Mary Celeste is an interesting one.
Get that spot on your nose looked at I had similar in 2004. The result of the biopsy I had came back and it found I had a Basel Cell Carcinoma Luckily it was still benign. Though if I had left it much longer it could have turned serious I had 5 x 1 hour sessions of radio therapy which blasted the infected cells away. This is not a wind up I am serious. I like your videos that can be entertaining both serious and funny.. Get it sorted Kind regards Kelvin Riach Lincoln England
The Roanoke has been solved for a bit now. It's was also in a video from Simon. It was like things are solved that people still think are unsolved or something. Roanoke, Bermuda Triangle, Russian radio active hikers. All solved.
