Sit back, relax, and be creeped out by the tale of 25 passengers aboard a merchant vessel en route to the Tokelau Islands. There was no distress, no storm, no other ship in the area, and yet everyone on board mysteriously vanished. The ship was found drifting at sea five weeks later. The strangest part is that, due to its extreme buoyancy, there was little chance it would ever sink. Investigators are baffled as to why the passengers didn't just stay on board. -

In 1965, 25-year-old Mary Little disappeared in Atlanta, Georgia. Her car was found in the same lot she parked it in to have dinner with a friend the night before, but her gas credit card history read that she had used it in two different gas stations. Her underwear was neatly folded inside the car alongside traces of blood. Both gas stations reported seeing a woman who looked like Mary along with two men. -

Days later, one of Diane's fingertips was found in the same convenience store. Two weeks later, her folded clothes were found.

After being denied as a member of the Free Masons in 1826, William Morgan vowed to write a revealing exposé of the fraternal religious society's secrets.

Famous mystery novelist Agatha Christie once disappeared for 11 days after her car was discovered dangling over the side of a cliff.

In 2011, Disney Cruise Line worker Rebecca Coriam disappeared at sea. The last time she was seen was in security footage on the ship, in which she appears to be distressed by a phone conversation.
