What are some of the strange cases of people who disappeared without a trace?

 For example, the following cases:

1. El primer teniente Felix Eugene Moncla Jr.

He was a U.S. Air Force pilot who was sent by plane to intercept an air defense over Lake Superior, on the border with Canada, in 1953. According to official reports, he left Kinross Air Force Base to intercept an aircraft that had strayed off course, however… the Canadians had no record of any aircraft in the area that night.

Radar operators reported receiving one light signal, then a second; then the two merged. After that, no trace of the Moncla F-89 jet was recovered, neither on land nor in the lake; it simply vanished. The theory that circulated widely was that it had encountered a UFO.

2. Ray Gricar

In April 2005, this man, a Pennsylvania district attorney, called his girlfriend to say he was going for a drive and would be back soon. He never returned. His car was found parked outside a nearby antique shop, while his laptop was discovered in a local river. There was never any sign of him, and it is unknown whether he was kidnapped and murdered because of his high-profile job.

3. Kenny Veach

In November 2014, Veach disappeared while trying to find a hidden cave. In a comment on a YouTube video, he mentioned that he accidentally found an "M"-shaped cave in the Nevada mountains near Nellis Air Force Base. He posted that upon finding it, he was so frightened that he ran away, unable to remember the location.

A month later, he left another comment on the same video, stating that he was going to go looking for the cave again. That was the last anyone heard from him.

4. Rebecca Coriam

In 2011, Rebecca was working on the Disney Wonder cruise ship, which departed Los Angeles en route to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. In the middle of the ocean, Rebecca failed to show up for her 9:00 a.m. shift. When the staff went to her cabin, she was gone. The only evidence of Rebecca's disappearance was a large amount of surveillance footage showing her on the phone, and then nothing more—she simply vanished. The ship returned to its course, and the Coast Guard conducted a search, but found no trace of her. Her parents had to accept the fact that she had mysteriously disappeared. But then things got even stranger…

Weeks after her disappearance, someone changed her Facebook password and tried to access her bank accounts. Then, a former coworker told her parents that the cruise line had instructed them to deny that her disappearance had occurred.

5. Conor and Sheila Dwyer

This is one of the most mysterious missing persons cases in Irish history. An elderly couple, Conor and Sheila, attended a funeral mass in the town of Fermoy. Afterward, they got into their car and presumably drove home… but they never arrived.

After a few weeks of not hearing from them, Sheila's sister went to their house and found the door locked. Inside, all their belongings were untouched (clothes, passports, money, etc.); the only things missing were the clothes they had been wearing that night and their car.

What's strange about Antarctica?

 During my visit to Antarctica with scientists, I learned several interesting facts.

• Lake Vostok is a freshwater lake in Antarctica that lies submerged beneath 2.5 miles (4 km) of frozen water. It is about the same size as Lake Ontario and larger than all but one lake in Europe.

• I've traveled to all seven continents, but Paradise Bay was the only place I've ever been that was completely silent. It was as if I had lost my hearing. No sound could be heard by the human ear, a truly breathtaking sight.

• Deep Lake contains 10 times more salt than the average ocean, so it never freezes even at -4°F (minus 20°C).

• There are 11 people born in Antarctica. As of 2020, the oldest is 45 years old. Since there are no citizens in Antarctica, they have the nationality of their parents.
• The Antarctic continent is divided into 11 time zones. The Antarctic Peninsula, a popular tourist destination, is only one hour behind New York City during daylight saving time. On the other hand, Antarctica itself is 16 hours behind New York City during daylight saving time. These two time zones are relatively close near the South Pole, and crossing this line results in a 15-hour time jump.

• I saw an iceberg larger than a soccer stadium; this massive piece of ice, which once separated from Antarctica, was roughly the same size as the state of Connecticut in the United States (or Montenegro in Europe).

• The coldest temperature ever recorded in the world was -128.6 °F (minus 89.2 °C) in Antarctica. Researchers in Antarctica frequently experience temperatures of -100°F, a temperature at which human skin instantly feels pain upon contact with the air. Even laughing is painful, saliva freezes before it touches the ground, and you can hear the sound of your breath freezing in the air in front of your face.

What are some strange customs that people had in the past?

 Some customs from the past are the following:

1) Bathroom machines.

When people wanted to bathe in the sea, those in the 18th and 19th centuries couldn't simply wade into the water. They needed a bathing machine, which served as a kind of "hut," preventing them from being seen while bathing. As was typical for the time, the bathing machines used by women needed to be located away from men.

2) Post-mortem photographs.

It may seem strange, but it was common for families in the past to take photos with their loved ones who had passed away. This was a way to preserve memories of people, since they often had few photos taken during their lifetime.

3) The Sangrias.

Bloodletting was a very old treatment method used to "cure" a number of different illnesses. Doctors of the time believed that many diseases could be treated simply by making the patient bleed, and for this purpose, leeches and various devices that produced bleeding were used. Over time, of course, the method proved ineffective and unnecessary, and eventually fell into disuse.

4) Hygiene was not as we know it today.

Many people don't prioritize hygiene as much as they should even today, but things were even worse in the past. Bathing wasn't seen as a daily necessity, and in fact, many people went months without a thorough wash.

We can only imagine how difficult it must be to approach someone in these circumstances, but people at that time didn't care about that.

5) Dresses for children.

Today, dresses are garments typically associated with girls, but that wasn't always the case. From the 16th century until the mid-1920s,This clothing was commonly worn by childrenbecause they lasted a long time and didn't need to be changed as often as they grew.
