Someone used to take my Wednesday issue of the WallStreet Journal.
We heard the strangest sound for weeks, like a tiny telephone ring, so faint we couldn’t uncover it. By happenstance, we finally tracked it down to a handheld game that was signaling a “win.”
When I was a senior in high school every Sunday when we came back from church there was a flower and a paper with my name on it in the magazine loop of our mailbox. Since everybody nearby also was in church I asked the lady across the street who was a shut-in if she would keep any eye out but she never saw a thing (I suspect she napped on and off). This went on for the entire of my senior year and while I pretended to be a bit miffed I actually was intrigued by it all and when it stopped I felt a bit let dowm. I never found out who it was until our 10th class reunion when the then wife of the miscreant came over and introduced herself and told me the story. It seems he was too shy to approach me but it turns out it was the boy who had the locker next to mine (senior lockers were side by side on the 1st floor of our school). Later I talked to Paul and we had a good laugh and reminissed as to what would have happened had he stepped up to the plate then. Had we missed a great romance or would it have fizzled out. I admit I had no feelings for him. A footnote to this story is that his Dad was a local undertaker who owned a funeral parlor and that is where Paul got the flowers at all seasons. If I had known at the time it would probably have freaked me out.
My biggest mystery is where my husband loses his keys, his glasses, his shirt… I am the goto person to solve these mysteries. My children have also have enlisted my assistance when their person items go missing. I always get my shoes
I’m also a subscriber and would really enjoy a good read…I can always find my books

I had a Great Aunt (Theoline) who disappeared in the 1920′s/30′s. Last anyone heard she was in Chicago—
I never even heard of her ’til I was an adult and my grandparents on that side were dead…. so couldn’t ask them anything. My dad knew nothing about her except she had existed—-I believe she probably disappeared before he was even born.
Funny you are giving away a Charlie Chan book. I was watching one of those old black and white movies just the other night….

You mean a mystery like how they moved the rocks at Stone Henge or a real mystery like who killed Jon Benet Ramsey? Both are baffling to me. But I love reading a good mystery book.

its a mystery why i’ve stayed with my husband for 38 years
The biggest mystery I have personally solved is the mystery of ‘the strange sound only I could hear’… I would hear a strange sound in my room at night.. whenever I got anyone else in the room it would go away.I was beginning to wonder if it was all in my head! After almost a month of this we found a wasp nest between the walls…. ick!

while sitting on her front porch in the country, my mom gazed out at the narrow paved road one day. the traffic usually consists of cars, trucks, four-wheelers, and a constant stream of neighborhood dogs. Occasionally the neighbor’s shetland pony escapes and makes a round of the area. Imagine her surprise when she looked up to see an emu purposely lopping down the pavement. He took a left at a side road, and cut across the field toward my cousin Mary Sue’s barn and was never seen again. We never found out where he came from or where he went.
I have a long standing mystery–my little cat went down to the basement by herself and had her harness on—when she came back up her harness was not on her. Both my mother and me searched the basement from top to bottom and never found that harness. When we sold the house and moved the harness was still missing. Where did it go?

I LOVE Charlie Chan! His movies that I grew up watching were so entertaining. Every time he said Number 1 son, etc., I laughed! One mystery I helped solve was when my brother had his Veterinary practice and someone was stealing from his cash drawer! Thanks for the fantastic giveaway. Cindi

While on a road trip my Husband and I kept hearing giggling yet when we looked the children were asleep. This went on for over two hours. We stopped to get gas and as I was pumping I heard it again. So I popped the truck and a newly acquired toy was laughing back at me. I rearranged things so it wouldn’t be set off any more.
Our cats come into our garage to sleep at night. It’s mostly empty and we don’t park our cars in there, so there aren’t many places to hide, but some nights (like tonight!) I will ask my husband “Did you let all the cats in?” and he will say yes, but when I go downstairs to check on them, there’s one missing (tonight it is Maggie.) I have searched and called and searched some more and have yet to figure out where their secret hiding spot is. The cat usually shows up the next morning, out of thin air, waiting for breakfast. I’ve searched everywhere! This drives me nuts!
A fax machine use to call my phone number everyday. I solved the mystery by transferring the call to a fax number.

Working on finishing the retro sci fi I am reading to make room for retro mysteries!

My husband once put our second set of car keys in a safe place so my son didn’t get ahold of them …. we never found them??? It’s still a mystery where that hiding spot is????
I couldn’t find my kitchen towel for three day. While getting ready to make dinner on the third day I opened my freezer and there it was. It’s a mystery to me how it got in the freezer.
my biggest mystery is how my husband can never remember anything i tell him.
Some shadows that creep across our wall are mysteries, most are passing cars from the neighbors, but now and then—
I heard a never-ending noise, like a bird, coming from the corner of the living room for an entire day before (spoiler!) I found out it was a cricket in the heating vent.
The biggest mystery I have is where I put things when I say I need to keep them in a safe place. I can never find them
In the 1950s, a drunk was picked up by the cops and roughed up. He was old, used up, and died of the beating. But he had identification on him as a veteran and the appropriate organizations were notified. At his funeral, representatives of every nation involved in World War I appeared, and the coffin was draped in flowers. But no one knows why or what he did to receive such attention.
Every Saturday I would make biscuits for breakfast while everyone slept in. It would never fail that when I would go to wake everyone up for breakfast, I would come back to find one of the biscuits missing. I knew it could not be my family because they had all been in bed. It took almost 3 months before I finally solved the mystery of the missing biscuits. I was coming back towards the kitchen when I saw our cat China Boy racing down the hall with a biscuit in his mouth. I would have never guess that it was him. My family and I still laugh about our little biscuit thief.

The Old Hag. For those of you who have never hrard of the “Old Hag” she is a witchy looking woman. People wake up because they are unable to breathe and find the Old Hag sitting on their chest. She is very frightening for those who experience it.

We had a beautiful sycamore tree in the front yard. One summer, a mysterous groove started from high in the tree and circled around the truck to the base. The groove was not tiny, but a good inch or more wide and at least an inch deep. I took the whole summer for this groove to be completed and nobody knew what caused it to form. Had to be a deformity of the tree itself and the tree was about twenty years old. Mystery solved the following year. A woodpecker was marking his territory and was decorating another tree. Took all summer, but we watched with enjoyment.
