MAN IN PAJAMAS DISAPPEARS

On April 15, 1959, at a motel in Illinois, Mrs. Bruce Campbell woke up to discover her husband and his pajamas missing; their money, their car, and his clothes remained. Journeying across country to visit their son, they had stopped for the night in Jacksonville. Neither Bruce nor any explanation for his disappearance was ever found.

In 1763, in Shepton Mallet, England, paraplegic Owen Parfitt rested in his chair at dusk, in full view of the farmhands working in a field across from him. Storm clouds were advancing, so his sister and a friend went to bring Owen inside. But Owen had vanished, leaving behind only his coat, neatly folded on the seat. Investigations at the time and again in 1814 and 1933 discovered no explanation for his disappearance.

In 1900, in Sherman Church, Michigan, a worker at the Augusta Mills jumped up from his chair in the office, rushed into the mill, and was never seen again. The mill was practically torn apart, and the countryside scoured, with no result.

In 1949, in Vermont, ex-soldier James Tetford was traveling back to the Bennington Soldier's Home by bus when he, but not his luggage, vanished from the moving vehicle. Fourteen other passengers and the driver noticed him asleep in his seat, and then he was gone. The Bennington area is known for unexplained disappearances.

In 1971, in Stonehenge, England, a camp of hippies were singing and smoking cannabis around their campfire when an electric storm erupted around them. A blinding blue light flashed, screams were heard, and the hippies vanished without a trace.

In 1975, in New York City, Martha and Jackson Wright pulled their car over while driving through the Lincoln Tunnel. They got out to wipe the vehicle windows—Jack the front and Martha the back. When Jack turned around, Martha had vanished.

Medley’s ship emerges from the canvas with an almost ghostly presence,…

The Dyatlov Pass Incident: A Chilling Mystery

In late January of 1959, ten hikers led by 23-year-old Igor Dyatlov set out to trek through Russia’s remote Ural Mountains. One member turned back early due to an injury, leaving nine to trudge on into the snowy abyss. When the group failed to return home on schedule, a rescue mission was launched, but the search ended in tragedy and mystery.

On 26th February, the search team found a tent abandoned and cut open from the inside, as though its occupants had fled in a panic. Nearby, the bodies of five hikers were discovered in various states of undress, suggesting hypothermia. Due to treacherous weather conditions, the remaining four hikers were found later in the year on May 4th, buried under 13 feet of snow. A closer inspection of the deceased is where this case takes a more alarming turn.

Some of the bodies bore gruesome and inexplicable injuries, ranging from fractured skulls, broken ribs, and in one case, missing eyes and tongue. Theories about the cause of the injuries have circulated, with the most plausible explanation being the group fell victim to an avalanche and foraging wild animals. However, several factors have cast doubt over this theory, including the sporadic placement and partially dressed state of the bodies, as well as the fact their tent and belongings were not buried in any recently displaced snow.

More sinister suggestions have ranged from murder to military experiments, and even alien encounters. Sadly, despite much speculation, the truth about what really happened remains unknown 66 years later, cementing the Dyatlov Pass incident as one of history's most enduring mysteries.

the fact that max gets along well with alex as a teammate in real life, but not well enough for redbull to keep him in the seat. i feel compelled to ask you, how does this happen in the darkbull universe?

alex tries, he does. he actually lasts a bit longer than some of the others that RB has attempted. ultimately it becomes the same problem though- he just can't bring the car where it needs to be. and max likes him, he does, but the ideal world for max is having teammates he likes who can also drive at his level.

once it starts to show that alex can't do that-

he's done.

Random Dragonfable Theory : the Twin Dragons and Hawkscry

So, a while back, the DF devs posted this Pantheon Chart

So a bit of time ago I decided to take a stab at it, with... mixed results

However, the one I'm currently focusing on is this one

Clearly, the two green squares made alongside the Avatars by the Aequilibria are the Twin Dragons. However, this singular square beneath them bothered me... a lot. I couldn't find a proper idea of what it could possibly be And then, an idea struck me Let's go back to a poem that was the source of a previous theory of mine for me : the Hawkscry Calamity Poem

The first three animals are references to Mechquest and GEARS, right? But what about the Dragon. A reference to their disappearance in MQ? Maybe, but... how does it relate to Hawkscry But, there is something else that relates to dragons and disappearances

The twin's first Death, directly described by GenoKratos and implied by a book in the Falconreach Libraseum So, to recap Hawkscry's destruction, according to the AF2 Poem, involved a dragon, somehow, somewhere, and it resulted in this dragon's disappearance The Twin's first death was also explicitly described as a disappearance, with the source of their death unknown What if these two are linked? What if whatever caused Hawkscry's destruction also resulted in the death of one or both of the Twins. What if they were actively responsible for Hawkscry's destruction, or were simply present and caught in the explosion. Of course, all of this could be circumstantial evidence, nothing concrete... however there is one more thing that has been on my mind. And it's the text that appears if you hover your mouse over the Fissure in the Travel Map

Symbolism much?

The Eerie Disappearance of Frederick Valentich

On October 21st, 1978, a 20-year-old Australian pilot named Frederick Valentich made his last contact with air traffic control before disappearing from the earth without a trace. At the time, he was flying a light aircraft 125 miles over Bass Strait; a passage of water which separates the island state Tasmania from the Australian mainland.

Almost fifty years have since passed and there is still no certain explanation of what happened to Frederick. This case is considered one of the most eerie unsolved disappearances due to Frederick's bizarre last known moments. During his flight, he made contact with air traffic control and reported that he was being followed by an unknown aircraft, which was flying approximately 1,000 feet above him. He described the object as being shiny with green lights and long-shaped, then shortly afterwards reported that his engine was malfunctioning. His final transmission was a cryptic and chilling message: "It's not an aircraft."

Communication was lost and neither Frederick Valentich nor his small aircraft were ever found. Extra-terrestrial activity has often been discussed as the cause of his disappearance, although the Department of Transport has maintained a sceptical view when it comes to UFO theories. They instead suggested that Valentich must have become disorientated and began flying upside down, and what he actually saw was his own aircraft lights reflected in the water below.
