First and foremost, conspiracy theories thrive with the fact of unsureness and uniqueness, a common trait of unsolved mysteries. Conspiracy theories include an in-depth analysis of governmental, media, and medical issues. Many of these issues are addressed as more “secretive” and concealed from …show more content…
the media. Usually, a conspiracy theory is related to a major event or an event that changes the world or a country. Psychology plays a key role in the creation and analysis of conspiracy theories. There are numerous types of conspiracy theories, being a very prolific topic.
In order to correctly understand conspiracy theories, you must know them first. A very common conspiracy theory is anti-Semitic. This theory originated in the middle ages and is in regards to Jews and banking. They usually relate Jews to be in control financial system. A second very common theory is the New World Order. The basis of this conspiracy theory over a group of international elites, or extremely powerful people, manipulates large governments for their own benefit. Many believe they were the funding major wars such as the Napoleonic Wars, World War 1, World War 2, and many more. The theory also includes the manipulation of the media. Predictive programming is a media conspiracy, believing media produces pictures and images not real but said to be real. In medicine, multiple conspiracy theories are fairly and highly common. Water fluoridation is a huge one. Water fluoridation is the addition to fluoride in our water supply in an attempt to affect our intelligence resulting in unintelligence. The production of diseases in medicine is another conspiracy theory attempting to state, AIDS and HIV were created with complicated medicine research in order to reduce the human population.
While all conspiracy theories revolve around the idea of secrets, they all are different types. A Chomsky conspiracy theory is a focus on the public or reports, such as media reports. There are three different types of Barkun conspiracy theories. Event conspiracy theories are an event such as 9/11 or the Kennedy assassination. Systemic conspiracy theories are a conspiracy theory revolving around the takeover of a race, religion, etc. such as the Jewish conspiracy. Finally, super conspiracy theories are a type of conspiracy theory where multiple conspiracies are linked for one goal. Walker’s five kinds are conspiracy theories relating to where the enemy is within the nation, outside, under, spiritual, or powerful. Rothboard’s: shallow vs deep are the analysis of conspiracy theorists, distinguishing them from broad & outgoing conspiracy theorists and suspicious and interested conspiracy theorists.
People attempt to explain events because something seem odd, or doesn’t make sense. It is human nature to do so. People also want to be able to control, but when they aren’t controlling events or information outputted, they can’t do anything but attempt to explain with a conspiracy theory. Many people also attempt to explain “evil forces”. They try to explain what the government, media, etc. can’t. They then continue to do so in an appealing manner and makes sense with evidence. People will try to make themselves sound logical compared to other people even when something sounds absolutely ridiculous.
Psychology is a key in conspiracy theories, as human nature attempts to explain things that doesn’t sense. These are what unsolved mysteries are: the explanation of something with no explanation. It is simply human nature. The numerous types of conspiracy theories are all very intriguing and leave us curious. While we attempt to bother ourselves with the explanation to something, we’re lost searching. Blood, our world is bathed in it especially the blood of those who are innocent.
Murder has been a part of mankind since the beginning and one of the most intriguing mysteries. Humans must always find out who the culprit was, who killed who and why. Trying to solve an unsolved murder isn’t the easiest thing as anything can go wrong especially when it can be you or anyone around you. Hundreds of murders remain unsolved around the world and with technological advances, the number will deplete.
Second, humans have always been stubborn in their ways and used it as an advantage. Our stubbornness is what makes homicide detectives fight for an answer. This stubborn attitude helps them solve a cold case, bringing peace and justice to the family of the victim. There are more ways to solve a murder now than there previously was in the 20th century and past. New methods are now employed to solve cold cases from the past. Homicide is a topic very adamant in unsolved mysteries, as evidence is sometimes hard to gather.
Homicide detectives are opening cold cases. By getting all the files from the case and reviewing them. Detectives try to find evidence that was overlooked. Once they finally find a lead detectives can probably crack the case open. What makes solving old cases easier is DNA.
In the past, DNA forensics was different and not as sophisticated. New technology is what helps solve these old and current unsolved murders. DNA evidence gathered from past crimes is analyzed using the new equipment. This is not always the solution however since DNA gathered during that investigation could have been destroyed or deteriorated over the years. The ways investigators gather evidence is different from the way it was collected in the past so it makes it difficult to find the suspect. Many differences such as more critical thinking & analyzing and fingerprint analysis have taken place. With social media detectives attempt to use it to link possible references. Detectives continue to find new ways of solving cases. The number of homicides has risen in recent years in areas such as Detroit, leaving many unsolved. These homicides aren’t the only problem; it is also the motive and reason for killing the victim. Motives such as drugs, gangs, and etc. can result in even more homicides because of the need for “revenge”. The number of drug related murders have increased in the previous years. With drug related murders you must first be able know every single detail to know who exactly caused it and evidence becomes slightly scare. Drug related murders usually happen in groups. Since there are many different cartels and many members in each locating the one prime suspect is difficult and very time consuming. Our nonstop quest for justice is what solves these murders. Humans are not willing to give up until they have an answer even if they die in the process. Many murders remain unsolved and many never be solved. We create theories to solve them and let justice prevail. We all want justice especially for famous murders we know like; Tupac, Biggie, the Zodiac Killer victims, and D.B. cooper victims. All the families deserve to be at peace and find out who did it and close the case for good.
The answers behind these unsolved murders & mysteries may remain hidden. No matter how hard we, as the human race, try we can never fully understand our universe, heck we can don’t even understand our own bodies. The puzzle of our universe will remain incomplete as pieces are still missing. Some mysteries are left unsolved as their answers are intertwined in a jumble or even more mysteries. Now we must walk the earth pondering and waiting for the answer.
Another unsolved mystery are cryptids.
Cryptids are creature such as Bigfoot, etc. Six categories are being used for cryptids- unconfirmed, discredited, proposed, extinct, confirmed, and hoax. Many people such as ghost and Bigfoot hunters have been trying to eliminate these categories and add those creatures and theories to the recently discovered category. Multiple accounts and stories are told to motivate these hunters like that of the Chupacabra. Over a decade ago, animals were found dead and were believed to be killed by the Chupacabra. Once that story was heard countless accounts were told and the hunger for discovering the Chupacabra began. Then there is the very familiar story of the Loch Ness Monster. May 2nd, 1933 the first Nessie picture was published in a newspaper. What is this aquatic creature- a question that still remains today. Another story would be of that of a giant bat the size of a one year old with a wingspan of twelve feet, the story of Ahool. Bigfoot, Yeti, Yowie, werewolves, vampires, dwarves, elves, and many others are on the lists of
cryptids.
There is very little evidence on these creatures, therefore having scientists often dismiss them. Then again some well know animals from today were once called cryptids. The kangaroo or the platypuses are examples of these ‘past cryptids’. If these animals were once unknown and then discovered, this gives cryptozoologists hope for continuing their research. Multiple expeditions have tried to look for these animals and countless evidence has been captured on those expeditions, yet scientists still seem to think these creatures are just hoaxes. In some cases, like that of mermaids, there is conclusive evidence in the discovery of the animal but for some reason the government tries to hide it. Recent studies were done on a mermaid body that was found and those studies could have ended the mermaid mystery. Today’s cryptids are they to remain cryptids.
Cryptids are unknown and a never-ending mystery. They are hidden from us, and waiting to be found and proven. The big foot encounters, Chupacabra sightings, and loch ness Monsters are things still yet to be proven, and we’re still waiting.
In addition to unsolved mysteries, Children and adults alike go missing every day. About 800,000 children a year disappear without a trace, 2000 people are reported every day. Unfortunately, some are never found and nobody discovers the true meaning of their disappearance. Louis Le Prince, an inventor of the first ever moving picture film. His work was before the inventor, Thomas Edison. He was gone without a trace on a train ride to France in 1890 and still not found today.
Another woman by the name Agatha Christie was an English mystery novelist. During December in 1926, Christie was leaving the town of Surrey and soon after her car was found teetering over a cliff. She wasn’t found near the scene at the time but 11 days later they found Christie in a hotel room. She hasn’t spoken about the incident much after that. The stories of many may either leave you breathless or simply create awareness. These incidents happen all the time and many people should be more aware. Disappearances are a true outline of what unsolved mysteries are.
“Discovering traces of life on Mars would be of tremendous scientific significance: The first time that any signs of extraterrestrial life had ever been detected. Many people would also find it heartening to learn that we’re not entirely alone in this vast, cold cosmos,” as said by Nick Bostrom. Do you believe extraterrestrial life exists? E.T (Extraterrestrial Life), or “Space Alien Life” is known to be life found from other planet/ life to be more intelligent that we humans are, and they’re another hidden unsolved mystery. In reality, E.Ts, or aliens, are organisms/bacterial lives that do not come from Earth. Research on extraterrestrial life has been conducted with little evidence but reasonable explanations. The fact that there are parts of our solar system that provide the basic components of life support, tells us that there can be life found on other planets besides Earth. These basic components of life support are: oxygen, carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, sulfur, and hydrogen. Water is the greatest sign for any possible extraterrestrial or bacterial life on other planets. Water is able to make any biochemical reactions that can produce organisms and build up others. Many planets have been studied and researched in order to find any evidence of life. Mars has been considered many times for being the planet having extraterrestrial life. Mars was found to have water all throughout its surface. Now, scientists proved that water might exist in parts of its planet; therefor, life is possible. Mars was proven to support life when NASA sent down lichens to test whether they could live on Mars’ habitual ground or not. There is now research being done to find any pre-existing life on Mars.
Maybe there is life out in our solar system; will we be able to find it? All evidence explains reasoning to probable life on beyond Earth. Will we be able to find these complex organisms known as “Extraterrestrial Life”?
Another unsolved mystery are Demonic attachments, which when are when a spirit will watch and wait for a moment when you are weak and it’s very realistically attach itself to a person. It’s slowly will feed of your energy over a period of time, slowly making its way into a person until a person becomes so weak they are open for possession. A lot of people believe that a spirit will up rise a person this is far from true a demon will find a person who is weak not physically but mentally. Usually they will chase after someone who has reckless behavior shame or guilt.
The Ouija board has been in controversy for years, debating if this piece of cardboard can actually attract spirits and bring evil. When playing with a Ouija board, the spirits that are summoned are not usually nice. The spirits that are summoned usually passed in a sudden death or a violent death such as murder, suicide etc. A lot of people will say, “If you’re really here put out this light or move this object!” You should never do this because it “opens the door” for spirits to come into the physical world. More often than not, they will cause Major problems, such as demonic attachment, possession, etc.
Ghostly Footsteps is our next topic. You may think ghostly footsteps? Despite the stereotypical ghost hovering off the ground numerous amounts of people have claimed to see footsteps who they believe are from ghost. Usually people can use talcum powder on the floor to reveal the footsteps although if you see ghostly footsteps they usually present themselves. At Mitten Brewing Company, they claim to have seen ghostly footsteps of children in their bar. When reconstructing they tore down a wall made of wood, when they did this they flipped the wood to see a fresh newborns foot print. What was strange was that the bar that was under reconstruction had not seen light in over one hundred and twenty seven years! It was exactly the same footprint that they had seen numerous times, around the bar.
Unsolved mysteries are not just the conspiracy theories, homicides, cryptids, extra-terrestrials, demonic acts, and disappearances. They’re the story behind it. It’s the reason of why they happened or how they happened. We’ll be kept curious for as long as we have a brain and at that rate, we’ll always be curious.
