Anton LaVey and his curse

Anton LaVey is the kind of person who gives you the creeps just by looking at him. He was the one who founded the Church of Satan and showed deep devotion toward the devil, that is, Satan. He was good friends with actress Jayne Mansfield, who, by the way, was considered a sex symbol of the 1950s, much like Marilyn Monroe. On one occasion, Jayne's partner, Sam Brody, verbally criticized Anton for performing all these satanic rituals on people and deeply despised him for his activities. Anton was so outraged by this that he cast a curse on the couple. Mansfield and her partner, Sam, suffered a fatal car accident in June 1967, sometime after their encounter with Anton. Was it the curse that struck them, or was it just a bizarre coincidence?

UPDATE: MH370: Why the search in the "Seventh Arc" might have actually been right all along.

16 Upvotes

It’s been 12 years and the common sentiment on Reddit is usually "the ocean is too big, we'll never find it." But I just finished a deep dive into the 2024 WSPRnet findings and the University of Tasmania paper.

NEW EVIDENCE: The WSPRnet "Tripwires" Most people don't realize how revolutionary WSPR (Weak Signal Propagation Reporter) is. It’s essentially using the world’s ham radio signals as a global tripwire.

UPDATE on the Wreckage Site: I used 3D mapping to visualize where these digital "disturbances" occurred on March 8, 2014. They lead to a very specific, rugged area of the seabed that hasn't been fully scanned yet.

How did 170 men break an empire with 80,000 soldiers nearby?

4 Upvotes

One of the strangest historical events I’ve been reading about is the capture of Atahualpa at Cajamarca in 1532.

Francisco Pizarro entered Inca territory with roughly 170 Spanish soldiers. Nearby, Atahualpa — ruler of the Inca Empire — had an army often reported at around 80,000 men.

On paper, it should have been impossible.

But in one afternoon, the Spanish ambushed Atahualpa’s entourage, used horses, steel, cannons, and shock tactics to create total panic, captured the emperor alive, demanded a room full of gold as ransom… and executed him after receiving it.

The mystery to me isn’t only the military side. It’s the psychological collapse.

How does a massive empire with roads, architecture, agriculture, administration, and a huge army suddenly freeze while its ruler is taken? Was it technology? Culture shock? A failure of command? Or did the Spanish understand something terrifying about fear, symbols, and leadership?

Cajamarca feels less like a normal battle and more like one of history’s most bizarre moments where two worlds met — and one side didn’t even understand the rules of the game until it was already over.

What do you think actually explains it?

The Strange Mystery of England’s 1855 “Devil Footprints”

15 Upvotes

On the night of February 8–9, 1855, after a heavy snowfall around the Exe Estuary in Devon, England, trails of hoof-like marks appeared overnight in the snow, covering a total distance of somewhere between 60 and 160 kilometres.

The footprints, mostly about 4 inches long and 3 inches wide, spaced 8 to 16 inches apart in a single-file line, were reported from over 30 locations. But the strangest part was that they didn’t go around obstacles. They went over them. Footprints appeared on rooftops, over high walls, and even leading into and out of drainpipes as narrow as 4 inches in diameter.

Trails across 30 locations. Single file. For a hundred miles. The religious panic was immediate. The superstitious believed they were the marks of Satan himself, and the subject was even preached about from pulpits. The impressions closely resembled a donkey’s shoe, but here and there they appeared as if cloven, which only fed the devil theory.

There is little direct evidence of the event. It wasn’t until 1950, when an article was published asking if anyone had information about the event, that the only known evidence surfaced — a handful of personal letters and rough tracings of the footprints, found inside a local vicar’s papers.

In 1994, researcher Mike Dash collected and published the available primary and secondary source material. He concluded there was no single source for the hoofmarks; some tracks were probably hoaxes, some made by common animals like donkeys, and some possibly by wood mice, whose hopping gait leaves a cloven-hoof-shaped impression in snow.

Though he later admitted these cannot explain all the reported marks, and “the mystery remains.”

One of the wildest theories, sourced from a local man, suggested that an experimental balloon accidentally released from Devonport Dockyard, trailing shackles on its mooring ropes, dragged across Devon before finally coming down at Honiton, leaving those devil tracks behind. The man claimed the incident was hushed up because it also destroyed several conservatories and greenhouses along the way.

But if that balloon rope is the cause, I think that itself is more mysterious than the devil — what a deadly coincidence that would be!

Sceptics note that eyewitness descriptions of the footprints varied significantly from person to person, and nobody could realistically have tracked the full 160-kilometre course in a single day, raising questions about whether the claim was an exaggeration or folklore layering on top of a real but smaller event.

small town deaths

4 Upvotes

when i was a senior in high school ten people 19 or younger passed away suddenly and tragically, fast forward two years later and three people my age have passed away unexpectedly within two weeks of each other. i live in a small town with less than 7000 people and there have been so many deaths involving teenagers. the circumstances of the deaths vary but most of them have to do with car related incidents. two 17 year olds were mutilated in an accident involving a tree, then a 15 year old passed because he was hit by a car while riding his four wheeler, shortly after a 19 year old boy was run down by a crazy man in his truck, after that an 18 year old boy passed out at the wheel and crashed, the only other way people my age have passed recently is by drowning. 13 people within a few years have passed suddenly and i’m scared to leave my house because it could be me next, has this happened to anyone reading this??

Sudan Has More Pyramids Than Egypt, So Why Are They Still So Forgotten?

Most people know the pyramids of Egypt, but far fewer know that Sudan is home to hundreds of Nubian pyramids connected to the ancient Kingdom of Kush.

These pyramids were built for kings, queens, and royal elites in places like Meroë and the Napatan region. What makes the story even stranger is how much of this history was damaged or ignored.

In the 1830s, Italian treasure hunter Giuseppe Ferlini searched the pyramids of Meroë for gold. According to historical accounts, he used destructive methods while looking for treasure and eventually found jewelry connected to Queen Amanishakheto.

The part that feels almost unbelievable is not just that these pyramids existed, but how little most people are taught about them compared to Egypt. The Kushites were not just living in Egypt’s shadow — at one point, Kushite rulers even controlled Egypt as the 25th Dynasty.

Can you help me find this mystery?

4 Upvotes

I heard about this mystery maybe a year ago on YouTube. I don’t remember which channel or video, and I’ve tried to search my history to no avail. The details I remember are this:
Time frame approximately 1930-50. A male pilot and his girlfriend were staying at a hotel in a cold region of the US. They were having drinks and he decided he wanted to go for a midnight flight. There was an airfield by or attached to the hotel. They urged against it because of the weather but he said he wanted to anyways. He took off, the nervous girlfriend watched, he went missing. They searched for the plane up until recent times and some group thought they found the plane in water but there was no evidence of the body which confused them because of the circumstances of how the plane was found.
I remember googling their name and seeing pictures of the plane and possibly the pilot. Does this sound familiar? Can someone link what this is? I don’t know WHY but I think about this once a week and now that I can’t find it it drives me crazy.

Why did a real ionosphere research facility become linked to weather control, earthquakes, and mind control?

Thumbnail
youtube.com
3 Upvotes

One of the strangest modern mysteries, to me, is HAARP.

Officially, HAARP is an ionospheric research facility in Alaska. It was built to study the upper atmosphere, auroras, radio communication, and space weather. The facility uses 180 antennas spread across 33 acres to send high-frequency radio waves into the ionosphere and measure how that region reacts.

That alone already sounds unusual.

But what makes HAARP so bizarre is what happened around it.

Because it was originally connected to the U.S. Air Force, U.S. Navy, and DARPA, people began asking whether it was only a research facility — or whether it had a military purpose that was never fully explained to the public.

Then came the connection to physicist Bernard Eastlund, who held a patent titled Method and Apparatus for Altering a Region in the Earth’s Atmosphere, Ionosphere, and/or Magnetosphere. His patent discussed exciting parts of the ionosphere with powerful electromagnetic radiation, and even mentioned possible uses like missile defense and weather modification.

After that, HAARP became linked to almost everything:

weather control, earthquakes, power outages, hurricanes, mind control, artificial auroras, and even claims that it could affect the Earth’s magnetic field.

Some of those claims are obviously extreme and not scientifically proven. But the mystery is why this one facility became such a magnet for them.

Even stranger, in 2016, two men were arrested after allegedly planning to attack HAARP because they believed the facility was trapping human souls.

Today, HAARP is controlled by the University of Alaska Fairbanks, its research is public, and the facility even holds open house events. But the mystery around it never really disappeared.

So my question is:

Did HAARP become famous because people misunderstood advanced atmospheric science?

Or is there something about military-funded ionosphere research that genuinely deserves more public scrutiny?

The final words from MH370 still sound terrifyingly normal.

The most disturbing part about MH370 isn’t that it disappeared. It’s WHEN it disappeared.

2.3k Upvotes

At 1:19 AM, Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 gave its final routine radio response: “Good night. Malaysian Three Seven Zero.” Nothing sounded unusual. No panic. No emergency.

But just two minutes later, the aircraft reached the exact border between Malaysian and Vietnamese airspace — a small radar blind spot where both countries briefly assumed the other was tracking the plane.

And at that exact moment, the transponder was switched off.

Not during turbulence.
Not during a storm.
Not after a mechanical failure.

The timing was almost perfect.

Then military radar detected the plane making a sharp turn back across Malaysia before disappearing into the darkness over the Indian Ocean. No distress call was ever made.

That detail has always disturbed me the most because it makes the disappearance feel less random… and more calculated.
