Stories of the unexplained

Two times I've been witness to thus far 'unexplained' events...


As a young teen (prob 13 or 14), a friend and myself where laying out on the lawn one summers evening trying to spot satelites in the night sky. We saw one, and watched for several minutes, as it made numerous sharp turns (90-180 degrees), impossible for any satelite or aircraft to perform, then shot off at high speed.


The other was a few years ago, when I was working at a private school. The school was in an 1890's mansion, known as the Illiff mansion for the family who lived there 100 years prior. The owner of the place lived on the 3rd floor of the mansion, and was extremely sensitive to perfumes and scented deoderants...to the point of handing out scent-free soaps to all employees to bathe with, and sending people home if could smell them (nut job). No pleasant scents where allowed on the 3rd floor EVER.
Anyway, one week he was on vacation, and I was working on the 3rd floor on a hot summer night. As I sat at my desk a cold chill filled the room, and an extremely strong odor of a womans perfume became obvious. Both the chill and the scent disappeared as quickly as they came.
I went down to the 1st floor and asked the ladies working in the front office if any of them had been up to the 3rd, and explained what I felt/smelt. The admin (who had been working there 30+ years) explained to me "Oh, you just met Mrs. Illiff...don't worry, she's friendly.".....

It's Clarke, actually.

Oh wait, #4, unsolved mysteries: My two daughters had a row yesterday and their stories were so contrdicting each other yet each plausible and I could not get any fact to falsify any of the two stories. So who was right and who was wrong....is a mystery to me. It is unsolved as yet. I fear it will remain so. Other than these kind of mysteries, no.

I think everyone who knows a female human can count unsolved mysteries among their experiences.

Oh, well, close enough

Hmm, haven't experience many unexplained events... Occassional déja-vues, sometimes some premonitions, but most these can be explained by science (glitch in the brain, intuition, ...).

I'm open to it, but would have to experience it myself to believe it.
