But we hope that one day, through research and science, they will be solved.
But there is a high probability that many questions will remain unanswered.
Here are some photos that may be confusing.
The most mysterious photos
1. The woman in the brown coat during the Kennedy assassination
Woman in a brown coat or " Lady Grandmother", as the FBI later called it, was very close to President John F. Kennedy when he was assassinated in Dallas.
According to witnesses, this woman filmed the entire murder process. She was at a very important vantage point and could answer the question of what exactly happened that day.
However, the FBI was never able to track down the woman or identify the identity of this mysterious observer.
No photographs from the murder scene showed her face, and the video she took was never discovered, despite requests from law enforcement.
2. Death of the Dyatlov group
In 1959, nine Soviet tourists died mysteriously in the Ural Mountains. The photo you see was taken by a rescue team. According to rescuers, tourists cut the tent and ran out barefoot into the snow trying to escape from something.
Six tourists died from hypothermia, two from sternum fractures, and one from severe head trauma. In addition, one tourist was missing her tongue. Another strange fact was high radioactivity of clothing Dyatlov group.
3. Lights of Phoenix
The Phoenix Lights are a series of bright, stationary lights observed by thousands of people over the city of Phoenix, Arizona, USA, and the city of Sonora, Mexico, on March 13, 1997.
The US Air Force explained that the lights were flares dropped during a training exercise. However, experts have denied this. Moreover, they appeared again over Phoenix in 2007 and 2008. An explanation for this phenomenon has never been found.
4. Solway Firth astronaut
Englishman Jim Tempelton(Jim Templeton) took this photo of his daughter on a walk in 1964. When he took the photo, he didn't notice anything strange in the swampy area where the two of them were.
However, when he developed the photographs, he noticed that there was something in the picture behind his daughter that looks like an astronaut. But no one was around when Tempelton took the photo, and Kodak experts confirmed that the photo had not been altered.
5. Mystery thumb
In this photo of four children, the boy in black has someone's thumb on the right near his ear, which does not belong to any of the children.
6. Companion "Black Knight"
According to some assumptions, there is an ancient dark object called the Black Knight satellite, which is located in Earth's orbit for the last 13,000 years.
No one knows how it got there or its purpose. This photograph was taken by the US space shuttle mission to the International Space Station in 1998.
In these photos of the gaping hole that was created when a plane crashed into the South Tower of the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001, a woman can be seen standing on the edge of the hole waving for help.
The woman was identified as Edna Cintron, but no one could explain how she was able to survive after the plane crashed into the building.
Strange photos
8. Falcon Lake Incident
May 20, 1967 Stefan Michalak(Stefan Michalak) was in the forest near Falcon Lake in Manitoba, Canada, when he saw nearby two UFOs in the shape of cigars. When the door to one of the facilities opened, Michalak heard voices and tried to talk to the creatures inside. But when he approached the door, he could not distinguish anything except a “labyrinth of lights.”
Suddenly, the door of the aircraft closed and the object rose up, blasting hot air at the man through the grille, which caused his clothes to catch fire.
The doctors at the hospital were extremely surprised lattice pattern of burns on the chest the victim, as can be seen in the photograph.
9. Time Traveler
This photograph was taken in 1941 after the reopening of the South Forks Bridge in Canada. At first glance, it seems that there is nothing unusual in the photograph.
But if you look closely, you will notice that one the man in the photo is dressed quite modernly, he is wearing fashionable dark glasses, and he is holding a modern camera in his hands.
For comparison, circled on the left we see a man with a camera typical of the time.
10. Madonna with Saint Giovannino
This is one of the most famous unexplained images of all time. While the focus of the painting is on Mary, you can see something strange hovering over her left shoulder.
The object is very similar to a UFO, and below you can see a man and a dog looking up at a flying saucer.
11. Skunk monkey
In 2000, an unknown woman took two photographs of what was believed to be a skunk monkey and sent them with a letter to a Florida sheriff's department. In the letter, she wrote that she photographed the monster in her yard, which came three times at night for apples that she left on the back porch. Bigfoot hunters called the creature a “skunk ape” because of its resemblance and the unpleasant odor emanating from it.
12. Mobile phone in Chaplin's film
In the DVD tracks of Charlie Chaplin's The Circus, people could watch a short film and photographs of the film's premiere in 1928, where they can see a woman who appears to be talking on a cell phone.
Director George Clarke said this was proof of the existence of time travelers. Some have suggested that the woman was using an ear tube, but this does not explain why she is talking through the hearing aid.
13. UFO at the bottom of the Baltic Sea
In 2012, a Swedish research team discovered a mysterious 18-meter disk at the bottom of the Baltic Sea. This object, apparently created by intelligent beings, looked like a spaceship from Star Wars.
Whether you're a conspiracy theorist or not, unexplained things happen all the time in the world. Below we present to you a list of ten of the most inexplicable photographs from the past that no one has yet been able to properly explain.
Jim Templeton photographed his youngest daughter near the Solway Firth in 1964. After development, the figure of an astronaut in full gear appeared behind the girl in the photograph. However, as Templeton assures, no astronauts were observed in the meadow during the filming.
Falling boy
When the Cooper family moved to a new home in Texas in the 1950s, they decided to take a group photo. After development, a mysterious boy appeared on it, falling from the ceiling.
A group of children pose for a photo, nothing out of the ordinary. However, there is a mystical thumb in the picture that does not belong to anyone's body (to the right of the boy in black).
Battle of Los Angeles
The photo, published in the Los Angeles Times on February 26, 1942, was cited by many ufologists as indisputable evidence of the existence of UFOs. They claim that the image clearly shows spotlights focused on the spacecraft. Others believe the incident was related to rumors of a Japanese air attack and subsequent barrage by US air defense forces. However, shortly after the incident, speaking at a press conference, Secretary of the Navy Franklin Knox called the entire incident a “false alarm.”
These inexplicable lights over the Hessdalen valley in Norway have been observed since the early 40s. Their greatest activity was tracked between 1981 and 1984, when they appeared 10–15 times a week, sometimes for as long as an hour. Since that time, the activity of the mysterious lights has noticeably decreased, and they are now observed 10–20 times a year. Such a frequent occurrence of this phenomenon has become the reason for the interest of a huge number of tourists.
Time Traveler
There is an opinion that this photograph, taken in 1941 in Canada, shows a man in modern clothes who traveled from the future to the past.
The Secret of the Dark Knight Companion
According to legend, there is a mysterious object in Earth’s orbit that is more than 13,000 years old. Its origin and purpose are unknown. There is a theory that the Dark Knight is an elusive satellite that sends signals to Earth, they are recorded by NASA, and only the powers that be have access to this received information. The origin of the ominous name is also part of the mystery - it is not known who was the first to call it that and why. It is worth noting that only in the last 60 years have people developed the technology to launch an artificial object into space, so it is impossible to explain the appearance of this alien attacker.
9/11 attack - woman from the south tower
In these two photographs, in the hole left by the plane crash in the South Tower, you can see a woman standing on the edge and waving her arms. Her name is Edna Clinton. People still cannot understand how the woman survived, given everything that happened in that part of the building.
In 2000, two photographs were anonymously sent to the Sarasota, Florida Sheriff's Department, accompanied by a letter from a woman who allegedly photographed a monster that had broken into her orchard to steal apples.
The Ghost of Freddie Jackson
This photograph was taken in 1919 during the First World War. A group portrait of the squadron, which for some reason shows aeromechanic Freddie Jackson, who died in an accident two days before this photo.
Falcon Lake Incident
This is the case of the sighting of two unidentified flying objects near the resort village of Falcon Lake in Canada on May 20, 1967. The only witness to the incident was Stefan Michalak, who was relaxing in these places and at some point noticed two descending cigar-shaped objects, one of which landed very close. Michalak claims he saw the door open and heard voices coming from inside. He tried to speak to the aliens in English, but there was no response. Then he tried to get closer, but came across “invisible glass”, which apparently served as protection for the object. Suddenly, Michalak was surrounded by a cloud of air so hot that his clothes caught fire, causing the man to suffer serious burns.

Long before the advent of the Internet and Photoshop wizards, the vast majority of photos taken were genuine. Everything that was displayed on the film was actually in the frame. Sometimes the photographs captured truly incredible and mysterious phenomena, such as ghosts, strange creatures and even UFOs. Until now, scientists cannot explain how they got there.
Mysterious photographer
If you look closely at this seemingly ordinary photo, you will notice one strange man in sunglasses. In the photo, taken in the 40s in Canada, he especially stands out among ordinary people dressed in his time. Firstly, his clothes are more suitable for our times. Secondly, in his hands you can see a modern camera. So who is it - an ordinary person in strange clothes or a time traveler? And what exactly was he going to photograph with an unusual camera? There are no answers to these questions yet.
Mysterious silhouette at the bottom
In 1964, Frenchman Robert Serrec in the Australian state of Queensland captured something inexplicable on the seabed. The picture clearly shows a huge serpentine silhouette hidden under water. This photograph has been exciting the minds of many scientists for half a century, but there is still no convincing explanation.
Monster or monkey?
Several decades ago, the theory about the existence of “Bigfoot” became very popular. A little later they even found a relative for him - a stinking monkey. This photo was taken by a Florida resident in her yard. She also claimed that she was bitten by an unknown creature that looked like a monkey. Researchers of the image suggested that this animal could be a bear. But most are sure that it really was a skunk-like monkey.
Creepy photo of the Cooper family
After moving to a new home, the Coopers invited relatives over and decided to take a family photo. But instead of pleasant memories, this photo can only instill fear. On it, in addition to family members, there is an incomprehensible body hanging from the ceiling. Until now, no one can explain whether this was a simple film defect or whether there are otherworldly forces in the house that accidentally got into the frame.
We all keep photographs from different years, which depict different episodes of our lives. Review them again more carefully. Maybe you'll find something mysterious, like the Cooper family.
Bringing. When members of the Cooper family were photographed for this photo in 1950, they could never have imagined what they would discover later. They had just moved into this house and it seemed that life would go differently. But shock crept up in the form of a ghost.
Sea monster. This well-known photo is considered by many to be the result of Photoshop. But few people know that French photographer Robert Liserek photographed this unknown giant sea animal back in 1965. This photograph sparked heated discussions among zoologists.
Black Knight. The first photograph of an unknown object, called the Black Knight, was taken in 1960 by one of the first satellites of the Earth. An unidentified object is clearly visible in polar orbit, which could not be either a USSR satellite or a US satellite. Since then, this object has been seen many times. It appears and disappears at certain time intervals. After careful study, scientists are inclined to believe that this is a fragment of artificial origin.
Grandmother. On November 22, the 35th President of the United States, John Kennedy, was shot and killed in Dallas, Texas. While analyzing photographs taken at the murder scene, experts noticed a mysterious woman in a light brown raincoat and scarf. She appears in many photographs and always holds a camera in her hands. The FBI searched for this woman for a long time, but were never able to establish her identity.
Mobile phone. The Charlie Chaplin Circus Collector's Edition DVD included a short film about the 1928 premiere as a bonus feature. One of the frames shows a woman holding in her hand something very reminiscent of a mobile phone. Belfast-based film director George Clarke said he believes the footage is evidence of the existence of time travelers. Many are inclined to believe that the woman is holding an auditory tube in her hand. But then it’s not clear why she smiles and says something to her.
Lights of the Hessdalen Valley. In 1907, a group of teachers, students and scientists set up a scientific camp in Norway to study a mysterious phenomenon called the Hessdalen Lights. Björn Halgi took this photo on a clear night using a shutter speed of 30 seconds. Spectral analysis showed that the object should consist of silicon, iron and scandium. This is the most informative, but not the only photo of the Lights of Hessdalen. Scientists are still puzzling over what it could be.
Unknown rebel. This photo was taken during the Tiananmen Square riots in Beijing in 1989. Some unarmed man alone held back a column of tanks for half an hour. The identity and further fate of this man remained a mystery. But this photograph was published in almost all major publications in the world, and the unknown rebel himself became a symbol of resistance to power.
An astronaut from the Solway Firth. In 1954, the family of Briton Jim Templeton was walking near the Solway Firth. The head of the family decided to photograph his five-year-old daughter with a Kodak. The Templetons assured that there was no one else in these swampy places except them. And when the photographs were developed, one of them revealed a strange figure peeking out from behind the girl’s back. The analysis showed that the photograph had not been subjected to any changes. 
Sir Goddard's squadron. This is a group photo of Goddard's squadron, which fought in the First World War. It contains one intriguing detail. At the very top, behind one of the officers, you can see a face in which the squadron members recognized their former mechanic Freddie Jackson, who died two days before this photo was taken. And on the day the squadron was photographed, Jackson’s funeral took place.
Pyramids on the Moon. The photograph of the lunar surface AS-17-136-8-0 was taken as part of the Apollo 17 mission. In the catalog of photographs it was listed as overexposed. She clearly suffered from changes in light exposure. However, after working with the contrast of this image, it turned out that in fact, it captured structures resembling pyramids.
People have long been interested in various mysteries; they have also always been attracted to mysticism. It evokes in almost every person Unsolved situations force the brain to come up with its own solutions and details.
This article presents mysterious photographs that cannot be explained. They are the only ones in the entire history of art that defy logic. Even scientists are unable to find the answer. Maybe it will come to the mind of one of the readers?

- Glow in the Hessdalen Valley.

- Astronaut.

Lady Grandmother
Lady Granny was the name given to the woman who allegedly filmed the assassination of John F. Kennedy. She got this name because of her appearance: in the photographs she was wearing a scarf, which is a bit reminiscent of Russian headdresses. Scientists and police have tried hundreds of times to identify Lady Granny, but all attempts have failed. There is a version that it was Beverly Oliver. This assumption arose after the woman’s statement in 1970, in which she “identified” herself in the photo. However, researchers found her words to be false.
On November 22, 1963, shots were heard in Dallas. All the people who were filming immediately ran away. But one woman, who hid her face with a scarf, continued this act and left only after the shots stopped. When the body was discovered, the police ordered the production of all amateur videos taken at the time of the murder. The material that Lady Grandmother made has not been found. Moreover, of all the available videos, there was not a single one that was filmed from the same angle.
Now mysterious photographs of the past are circulating freely on the Internet. On them you can see the woman described.
Glow in the Hessdalen Valley
The Hessdalen Valley is located a few kilometers from Trondheim. It is 15 km long and 5 km wide. Around the valley on the western and eastern parts there is a ring of one of the local mountains, with a height of more than 1 km. In the southern territory you can find a couple of lakes. There are small settlements of 200 people here.
For several decades now, scientists have not been able to unravel the mystery of the “birds of fire.” This glow appears regularly over the valley. He is constantly visible in different places. Glowing objects can be seen above the roofs of houses or somewhere high in the sky. Most often they appear at night during the winter season. In summer, the glow is so rare that it can be completely invisible.
Luminous objects could sparkle motionlessly over the valley for several hours, and sometimes settlements noticed that they were moving at a certain speed across the sky. One day, scientists caught them using special radars. Then they moved at a speed of 8500 m/s. The shape of the objects is different, the color ranges from white to yellow.
Such mysterious photographs and stories about them cause a lot of controversy among Internet users. However, it is almost impossible to know the truth.
Sea monster
The next photo is familiar to many. Users on forums claim that the photo is the result of working with an editor. But they don't know that Frenchman Robert le Serrec filmed this giant animal in 1964. Subsequently, photography became the object of controversy among zoologists.
The date of the photo makes it clear that no one used an editor when creating it.
Robert and his wife were vacationing at Stonehaven Bay, which is located near Hook Island. The first to notice the giant animal was a woman, whose call was answered by her husband. According to their description, the object looked like a tadpole. Its length was 2.5 meters. The animal showed no signs of life, so the couple assumed it was dead. As people came closer, the object began to move.
This picture is included in the list of real, but most mysterious photographs. After all, it really defies any explanation.
Mysterious astronaut
A man, Jim Templeton, decided to take photographs of his daughter and wife in Cabria in 1964. He and his family were vacationing near the local bay. Jim did not think at that moment that one of the photographs taken would someday join the ranking of the most mysterious photographs in the world.
After the image was developed, the man noticed that a man in a spacesuit was standing behind his daughter. At the same time, Jim claimed that at that time there was no one near them. When the photo became available to the public, viewers began to say that, most likely, her mother was standing behind the girl. Others suggested that the picture is really an astronaut who landed not far from the married couple.
Ghosts in the water
In the winter of 1924, a ship was moving through the Panama Canal, heading from California to New Orleans. It was on this flight that two sailors died. Presumably, they suffocated with oil or gasoline vapors. They were buried at sea off the coast of Mexico.
The very next day, one of the crew noticed two faces on the waves. According to his stories, he immediately recognized them as dead comrades. Before arriving at their destination, the team saw them several more times. After this, the captain reported this to his superiors, and he was given the task of photographing the ghosts.
When the faces appeared, the crew chief captured them in photographs. After this, the sailors contacted the Bureau of Investigation to verify whether these photographs were true. No traces of falsification were found. That is why this picture is included in the list of mysterious photographs that are difficult to explain.
UFO
The photo below was taken in 1950. After a mysterious flying object was recorded, a rumor appeared about the existence of aliens. Researcher Keyhoe then submitted a request to the United States Air Force outlining the claims. They are associated with the discovery of two satellites surrounding the Earth. However, the country's administration stated that no one had launched research objects into orbit. Moreover, nothing is known about them. Thus, another mysterious photographs appeared that cannot be explained.
Strange image
The photo shows a family that has just moved into a new home in Texas. Photographs were taken on this occasion. After their appearance, it turned out that near the two women there was some kind of silhouette either hanging from the ceiling or floating in the air. Naturally, no one saw him when the photographs were taken.
After a little investigation, some facts emerged that made it possible to claim that the photo was faked. However, the real explanation for the photo never became known. That is why it is included in the review of mysterious photographs that cannot be explained.
Mountain on the Moon
Below is a picture that was taken during one of the studies. When scientists reviewed the photographs, this one was included in the “exposed” list. Indeed, it suffered from a lot of light exposure. After it was “darkened” a little, something was noticed located on the Moon. As a result of research, it turned out that mountains or pyramids. At first it is not entirely clear why these images are mysterious photographs that cannot be explained, but have similar formations ever been seen on the Earth’s satellite?
Ghost in the photo
Freddie Jackson died in 1919. It happened during a working day - he was killed by an airplane propeller. Two days later, the entire squadron was invited to take a joint photo. After it was developed, all the workers were very surprised - after all, their friend was also in the photograph. By the way, the funeral took place at the same time the photo was taken. Such mysterious photos that cannot be explained often circulate on the Internet, but this one shocked everyone. After all, there was no Photoshop at that time!
Killer hotel
In all the Internet lists where the rating of mystical photographs is compiled, this one ranks first. The photo “tells” about the guest who died at the hotel - Elisa Lam. Why did this story so shock the whole world? Published mysterious photographs that could not be explained at the beginning of 2013 immediately excited America. They also come with a video (it can still be found on the Internet). This gives reason to believe that the photographs are genuine.
Elisa Lam arrived in America from Canada on January 26. She stayed in an inexpensive hotel. She was only 21. The girl was an exemplary daughter, she called her parents every day, talking about what interesting situations were happening to her in the United States.
After Elisa arrived in the City of Angels, her loved ones became worried because she stopped answering calls. She was last seen in a bookstore. Returning to the hotel, she took the elevator to her floor. After the girl left, she disappeared without a trace.
Lam was remembered on February 19, when new guests began to complain about the quality of the water, the unpleasant smell and strange color. After repairmen went to the roof and opened the water tanks, they found Lam naked there.
The mysterious, unexplained photographs (the review of which is shocking) supporting this story would not have attracted much attention if not for certain oddities. It all started with the release of a video taken by an elevator camera. It shows a girl - Eliza. For some reason, when I pressed the floor button, the doors did not close. After this, it is clear that the girl is trying to hide from something in the corner of the elevator. The next action of the guest was chaotic glances, she ran out of the room, looked around and fought with someone. At the same time, the elevator doors continued to be open. It feels like someone was holding them. After the girl’s strange actions, she finally left the elevator. By the way, he immediately closed and went to the next floor. What’s strange is that six months after Eliza’s death, the information on her blog was updated.
