3. The Enigma Of The Voynich Manuscript
The Voynich Manuscript is one incredibly mysterious book that used to belong to Wilfrid Voynich. It’s filled with strange drawings of plants, astronomical diagrams, and people that seem made-up. Scientists have used carbon dating to confirm that it was created in the early 1400s, but beyond that, we have no further information or clues about its origins or meaning.
Even the best code-breakers in the world have tried to decipher the strange writings of the Voynich Manuscript but have ultimately given up in defeat. Is it a clever prank or perhaps a medieval science guide? Well, according to Reddit users, the most outlandish theory is that it was written by aliens.
4. The Unexplained Phenomenon Of The Dancing Plague
Let’s travel back to Strasbourg, France, in the year 1518. Something peculiar happened. People were having a grand time, partying just like we do on New Year’s Eve today. But here’s the twist: they couldn’t stop dancing. It was as if a contagious dance fever had taken over the town. Reports say that over several weeks, hundreds of individuals fell victim to this dancing plague, and the only “cure” appeared to be death from sheer exhaustion.
Curious Reddit users have come up with some plausible explanations, and our favorite is ergot poisoning. It’s like tripping on mushrooms, essentially.
