The world is full of mysteries, and the human race loves nothing better than to find answers to them. Frequently, though, the answers aren't as popular as the mysteries themselves, and people will just continue right on believing, even when the evidence is right there, why don't you just look?

1) Jack the Ripper

Jack the Ripper is possibly the best-known unidentified serial killer of all time. He remains one of the most deadly and elusive murderers known to man. He brutally murdered between four and nine prostitutes in an impoverished area of London over a four-month period in 1888.

London police received hundreds of letters about the case, ranging from concerned citizens to people claiming to be the murderer himself. It remains a mystery if any of these letters were actually sent by the killer himself or simply an attention seeker.

Jack the Ripper became a villain of the worst kind in London. Children were frightened of him as they would be a monster.

Despite an intense investigation, the true identity of the murderer was never found.

(2) The Shroud of Turin

The Shroud of Turin is a linen cloth with the image of a man who many believe to be Jesus.

There are many disputes about the actual origin of the cloth. Some believe it was the actual cloth placed on the body of Jesus when he was buried. Others believe that the artifact was created in the Middle Ages, because its carbon dating age is between 1260 and 1390.

Scientists continue to study the Shroud, attempting to determine if its origins truly date to Jesus Christ. Hundreds of books, articles and television documentaries have been dedicated to the subject, but no one knows for sure where or who the Shroud came from.

3)THE OVERTOUN BRIDGE

The Overtoun Bridge in Dumbarton, Scotland, has become famous for the number of unexplained instances in which dogs have leapt to their deaths.

The first incident was recorded in the 1950s when it was noticed that dogs would suddenly and unexpectedly jump off the bridge and fall to their deaths. What makes it even more mysterious is that many of the dogs jump from the same side and from almost the same spot: between the final two parapets on the right-hand side of the bridge.

In the past 50 years, some 50 dogs have leapt to their deaths from the bridge.

During one six-month period in 2006, five dogs jumped to their deaths.

The dogs affected are mainly long-nosed breeds: labradors, collies and retrievers.

Dorren Graham, of the Scottish Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals told the Daily Mail the phenomenon was a "heartbreaking mystery".

"There are lots of owners whose dogs have died and who are trying to find out why they jumped."

(4)ROLAND DOE

In 1973, William Peter Blatty’s bestselling novel, The Exorcist, was adapted into one of the most successful movies of all time. It told the story of a young girl being possessed by a demon, and believe it or not, it was actually inspired by a real-life incident. In 1949, a 13-year-old boy from Cottage City, Maryland was supposedly possessed by a demon and subject to an exorcism. To protect his identity, he has only been publicly referred to as “Roland Doe” or “Robbie Mannheim”. After the death of his spiritualist aunt, Roland reportedly became obsessed with using a Ouija board to contact her. Soon afterward, the family’s home was plagued by strange noises and unexplained supernatural activity.

The family’s Lutheran minister feared that Roland might be possessed, so two Catholic priests–Father Raymond J. Bishop and Father William J. Bowdern–were brought in to perform an exorcism on him at Georgetown University Hospital. The exorcism was performed 30 times over the course of several weeks. Roland reportedly exhibited violent behavior and often spoke Latin in a demonic voice while words like “evil” and “hell” mysteriously appeared on his body. After the exorcism was complete, the family experienced no more problems and Roland grew up to live a normal life. There has been much debate about whether Roland was actually possessed or if a lot of these stories have been fabricated and the boy was merely experiencing psychological problems. Since his true identity is still a secret after all these years, the full truth may never be known.

(5)ZANA

In the mid-eighteenth century, hunters in the Ochamchir region of Georgia (a Province of Russia on the edge of the Black sea) captured a ‘wild woman’ who had ape-like features, a massive bosom, thick arms, legs, and fingers, and was covered with hair. This ‘wild woman’, named Zana by her captors, was so violent at first that she had to spend many years in a cage with food being tossed to her. Eventually, she was domesticated and would perform simple tasks, like grinding corn. She had an incredible endurance against cold, and couldn’t stand to be in a heated room. She enjoyed gorging herself on grapes from the vine, and also had a weakness for wines, often drinking so heavily she would sleep for hours. As Colin Wilson points out in The Encyclopedia of Unsolved Mysteries, this is likely how she became the mother of many children to different fathers. These children usually died when she tried to wash them in the freezing river. The villagers started to take her children away from her and raise them as their own; unlike their mother, the children developed the ability to communicate as well as any other villager. Zana died in the village about 1890; the youngest of her children died in 1954. Her story was researched by Professor Porchnev who interviewed many old people (one as old as a hundred and five) who remembered Zana, as well as two of her grandchildren. The grandchildren had dark skin, and the grandson, named Shalikula, had jaws so powerful that he could lift a chair with a man sitting in it. It is believed that Zana may have somehow been a surviving member a previous evolutionary state of man.
