About this listen

This is an in-depth exploration of some of the world's strangest unsolved mysteries. It begins with the perplexing case of the Sodder children who vanished during a house fire on Christmas Eve 1945, with numerous suspicious circumstances suggesting they may have been kidnapped rather than perished in the flames. The piece then examines "The Hum," a mysterious low-frequency sound heard by select individuals worldwide that has defied scientific explanation despite numerous investigations. Next, it delves into the enigmatic Voynich Manuscript, a 15th-century codex written in an undecipherable script with bizarre illustrations that has confounded linguists and cryptographers for over a century. The article concludes by examining several baffling disappearances, including pilot Frederick Valentich who vanished after reporting a strange aircraft, the "Thai Silk King" Jim Thompson who walked into the Malaysian highlands and was never seen again, the crew of the ghost ship Carroll A. Deering, and college student Maura Murray who disappeared after a minor car accident. Throughout, the article considers various theories for each mystery while reflecting on why these unexplained phenomena continue to captivate our imagination.
