This list comprises the most famous Unsolved Mysteries known to man that really defy rational explanation.
The Babushka Lady
During the analysis of the film footage of the assassination of John F. Kennedy in 1963, a mysterious lady was spotted. She was wearing a brown overcoat and a scarf on her head. Her nickname arose from the headscarf she wore similar to scarves worn by elderly Russian women.
The woman appeared to be holding something in front of her face which is believed to be a camera. Even though the shooting had already taken place and most of her surrounding witnesses took cover, she can be seen still standing with the camera at her face. She was observed standing on the grass between Elm and Main streets.
The FBI publicly requested the woman to come forward and give them the footage she shot that day but she never did.
Till this day she nor the film she may have taken have been positively identified.
The Zodiac Killer
The Zodiac Killer was a serial killer who operated in Northern California in the late 1960s and early 1970s. The killer's identity remains unknown.
The Zodiac murdered victims in Benicia, Vallejo, Lake Berryessa and San Francisco between December 1968 and October 1969. Four men and three women between the ages of 16 and 29 were targeted.
The killer originated the name "Zodiac" in a series of taunting letters sent to the local Bay Area press. These letters included four cryptograms (or ciphers). Of the four cryptograms sent, only one has been solved.
The Zodiac Killer's crimes, letters and cryptograms to police and newspapers inspired many movies, novels, television productions and other serial killers but the identity of the killer until now remains a mystery.
The Bermuda Triangle
The Bermuda Triangle, also known as the Devil's Triangle, is a region in the western part of the North Atlantic Ocean where a number of aircraft and surface vessels are said to have disappeared under mysterious circumstances.
Popular culture has attributed these disappearances to the paranormal, time warps, ufo's, Atlantis and other spiritual explanations..
There is still no explanation for the unusual large number of disappearances in the area.
Jack The Ripper
In the later half of 1888, London was terrorized by a series of murderers in the east end (largely in the Whitechapel area). The name originated in a letter, written by someone claiming to be the murderer, that was disseminated in the media. The letter is widely believed to have been a hoax, and may have been written by a journalist in a deliberate attempt to heighten interest in the story.
The victims were typically female prostitutes who had their throats cut and bodies mutilated. In some cases the bodies were discovered just minutes after the ripper had left the scene. The removal of internal organs from at least three of the victims led to proposals that their killer possessed anatomical or surgical knowledge.
The police at the time had many suspects but could never find enough evidence to convict anyone.
In modern times there has been some speculation that Prince Albert Victor was the murderer. Even with modern police investigation methods, no further light has been shed on the murders till this day.
The Voynich Manuscript
The Voynich manuscript, described as "the world's most mysterious manuscript", is a work which dates to the early 15th century, possibly from northern Italy. It is named after the book dealer Wilfrid Voynich, who purchased it in 1912.
Some pages are missing, but the current version comprises about 240 vellum pages, most with illustrations. Much of the manuscript resembles herbal manuscripts of the time period, seeming to present illustrations and information about plants and their possible uses for medical purposes. However, most of the plants do not match known species, and the manuscript's script and language remain unknown and unreadable.
Count Of St. Germain
The Count of St. Germain (Transylvania, May 28, 1696 - Eckernförde (?), February 27, 1784) was one of the most mysterious figures of the eighteenth century. Known as mystic, alchemist, goldsmith, diamond cutter, a courtier, adventurer, scientist, musician and composer. After the date of his death (accuracy uncertain), several organizations have adopted it as a mystical figure model. According to ancient accounts, was immortal and had the elixir of youth and the philosopher's stone.
In 1779 St. Germain came to Altona in Schleswig, where he became a friend of Prince Charles of Hesse-Kassel, who provided materials and allowances for Earl perform their experiments.
On February 27, 1784 the Comte de Saint Germain died in residence near the factory provided by Prince Charles of Hesse-Kassel. His death was recorded in the annals of the Church of St. Nicholas in Eckernförde and was buried on March 2. On 3 april mayor of the camera and proclaims Eckernförde issued an auction of the few possessions left by the count, since no relatives came to claim them.
In the late nineteenth century began to appear rumored sightings of the earl. St. Germain allegedly been seen in 1835 in Paris, and in 1867 in Milan. Adherents of theosophy were proponents of such an immortality of the count, claiming it as the master and who was still alive.
Several legends have arisen surrounding the Count of St. Germain, which lacks historical support. Nowadays these legends are acclaimed by mystical-religious groups.
Sonny Bono
Bono died on January 5, 1998 of injuries sustained when he hit a tree while skiing on the Nevada side of Heavenly Ski Resort near South Lake Tahoe, California. His death came just a little less than a week after Michael Kennedy, a son of Robert F. Kennedy, died in a similar skiing accident in Aspen, Colorado.
After Bono's death, Mary told an interviewer from TV Guide that Sonny had been addicted to and was seriously abusing prescription drugs, mainly Vicodin and Valium. Though Mary claimed that Sonny's drug use caused the accident, the autopsy performed by the Douglas County Coroner showed no indication of any substances or alcohol.
Natalie Wood
The Rebel Without A Cause actress died in 1981 at 43, after falling overboard on a boat sailing near California's Catalina Island.
According to the autopsy report, Wood had dozens of bruises on her body,
including injuries to her face and arms. The autopsy found that her blood alcohol level
was .14, and an examining doctor stated that it was higher when she
went overboard. They also found two drugs in her bloodstream: Cyclivine,
a sea-sickness pill, and Darvon, a painkiller, which they believed caused a "much more drunken state" when combined with alcohol.
Officials ruled her death an accidental drowning, adding Wood had drank as many as eight glasses of wine, and was intoxicated when she died.
Detail: The West Side Story actress had
developed a deep-rooted fear of water ever since her mother warned her
as a child that she would meet her death by drowning in 'dark water'.
Marvin Gaye
The singer was fatally shot by his father, Marvin Gay, Sr. in the West Adams
district of Los Angeles at their house on Gramercy Place (Marvin was living in his parents house at the time because he was depressed and suicidal). Gaye was shot
twice after an altercation he had with his father after intervening in
an argument between his parents over misplaced business documents. Gaye's wounds proved to be fatal and he was pronounced dead on arrival at the California Hospital Medical Center.
Gaye's father had reportedly been beaten by the singer prior to the
shooting, and received five years of probation after pleading guilty to
manslaughter charges.
Gaye's death produced several musical tributes over the years including recollections of the incidents leading to his death.
Michael Jackson
While preparing for his concert series titled This Is It, Jackson died at the age of 50 of acute propofol and benzodiazepine intoxication on June 25, 2009, after suffering from cardiac arrest. The Los Angeles County Coroner ruled his death a homicide and his personal physician was convicted of involuntary manslaughter.
The day after Michael Jackson passed away, Lisa Marie Presley took to her blog on MySpace and posted about a conversation they had years ago where Michael Jackson stated that he was afraid he was going to end up like her father Elvis Presley.
Jackson's death triggered a global outpouring of grief, and as many as
one billion people around the world reportedly watched his public memorial service on live television.
Lisa “Left Eye” Lopez
The TLC beauty, known for hits such as Waterfalls and No Scrubs, died of head and neck injuries at 30 in 2002, following a single-car accident in La Ceiba, Honduras.
A documentary on the final twenty-six days of Lopes's life, titled The Last Days of Left Eye premiered at the Atlanta Film Festival in April 2007. The film captured a car accident in which Lopes was a passenger and
her assistant was the driver.
Ten-year-old Bayron Isaul Fuentes Lopez walked into the path of the
van driven by Lopes' personal assistant. The child had been trailing
after his sisters and brothers and stepped off the median strip at the
last minute.
The boy was hit. Lopes' party stopped and found the boy critically
injured. They loaded him into the car, and Lisa cradled the dying boy's
bleeding head in her arms. Someone gave him mouth-to-mouth resuscitation
as they rushed him to a nearby hospital. The boy died the next day and
Lopes paid for his medical expenses and funeral.
Earlier in the documentary, Lopes mentioned that she felt the presence
of a "spirit" following her, and was struck by the fact that the child
killed in the accident shared her last name, even thinking that the
spirit may have made a mistake by taking his life instead of hers. The program also showed the last minutes of Lopes's life, including her swerving off the road.
Brandon Lee
The son of karate icon Bruce Lee died at 28 in 1993 in Wilmington, North Carolina after he was accidentally shot on the set of his film "The Crow" by a gun with malfunction.
One of the scenes shot for the film required that a gun was loaded, cocked and pointed at the camera but because of the short distance of the shot, live ammunition was real but with no gunpowder. After completion of this scene, the assistant wiped the gun dealer to remove the capsules, knocking one of the bullets in the barrel. The gun was loaded with blanks (which usually has two or three times more powder than a normal bullet to make a loud noise). Lee entered the set with a grocery bag containing an explosive bag of artificial blood. The bullet that was stuck in the barrel was accidentally shot at Lee passed through the bag he carried, causing holes in his internal organs and breaking his spine, causing his death by internal bleeding, even with the desperate attempt of a six-hour surgery to remove the bullet. There were rumors that the negatives with the filming of his death would have been destroyed without ever being revealed.
To this day, many questions exist regarding the circumstances of Lee's death.
David Carradine
The veteran star of classics like Kung Fu and Kill Bill died in 2009 when he was in Bangkok to shoot his latest film, Stretch. A police official said Carradine was found hanging by a rope naked in the room's closet, causing immediate speculation that his death was suicide. However,
reported evidence suggested that his death was the result of autoerotic asphyxiation. Two autopsies were conducted and concluded that the death was not caused by suicide. The cause of death became widely accepted as "accidental asphyxiation".
Immediately following his death, two of his former wives, Gail Jensen and Marina Anderson, stated publicly that his sexual interests included the practice of self-bondage. Anderson, who had plans to publish a tell-all book about her marriage to Carradine, said in an interview with Access Hollywood,
"There was a dark side to David, there was a very intense side to
David. People around him know that." Previously in her divorce filing
she had claimed that "It was the continuation of abhorrent and deviant
sexual behavior which was potentially deadly."
4. Jon Venables And Robert Thompson
Jon Venables and Robert Thompson (both 10 years old) had been stealing things all day at the shopping center - candy, a troll doll, some batteries, a can of blue paint, and other incidentals.
They boys approached James Bulger who had been wandering by the open door of the shop while his mother placed an orderand spoke to him, before taking him by the hand and leading him out of the precinct. This moment was captured on a CCTV camera recording timestamped at 15:42.
The boys took Bulger on a meandering 2.5-mile (4.0 km) walk across Liverpool to the Leeds and Liverpool Canal where he was dropped on his head and suffered injuries to his face. The boys joked about pushing Bulger into the canal. During the walk across Liverpool, the boys were seen by 38 people.
Bulger had a bump on his forehead and was crying, but most bystanders
did nothing to intervene, assuming that he was a younger brother.
Two people challenged the older boys, but they claimed that Bulger was a
younger brother or that he was lost and they were taking him to the
local police station. At one point, the boys took Bulger into a pet shop, from which they were ejected.
Eventually the boys arrived in the village of Walton, and with Walton
Lane police station across the road facing them, they hesitated and led
Bulger up a steep bank to a railway line near the disused Walton & Anfield railway station, close to Anfield Cemetery, where they began torturing him.
The video cameras at the mall caught several images of James Bulger in the hands of his killers, frozen in time. He was to be taken on a long, aimless walk, cruelly tortured along the way. James was senselessly abducted, tortured and beaten to death by his ten-year-old captors, who callously abandoned him on the railroad tracks.
Before they left him, the boys laid Bulger across the railway tracks and
weighted his head down with rubble, in the hope that a train would hit
him and make his death appear to be an accident.
The case's pathologist, stated that Bulger suffered so many injuries - 42 in total - that none could be isolated as the fatal blow.
3. Jesse Pomeroy
Jesse Harding Pomeroy was the youngest person convicted of the crime of murder in the first degree in the history of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
Jesse Pomeroy was 14 when he was arrested in 1874 for the horrific murder of a four-year-old boy. He was quickly labeled “The Boston Boy Fiend.”
His horrible trek had begun three years earlier with the sexual torture of seven other boys. For those crimes, Pomeroy was sentenced to a children’s reform school but was released early. Not long after, he mutilated and killed a 10-year-old girl who came into his mother’s store. A month later, he kidnapped 4-year-old Horace Mullen, took him to a swamp outside town and slashed him so savagely with a knife that he nearly decapitated him. Because of his strange appearance (he had a milky white eye) and his previous abhorrent behavior, he was under suspicion. When he was shown the body and asked if he’d done it, he responded with a nonchalant, “I suppose I did.” Then the girl was found buried in his mother’s cellar and he confessed to that murder, as well.
He was convicted and sentenced to death. Following a public outcry against condemning children to death, his sentence was commuted to forty years of solitary confinement.
2. Mary Bell
Mary Bell was convicted of strangling a young boy, Martin Brown, on May 25, 1968, the day before her 11th birthday. She was, as far as anyone knows, alone on this occasion. On July 31, 1968, Mary and her friend (Norma Bell - no relation to Mary) took part in the death, again by strangulation, of three-year-old Brian Howe. Police reports concluded that Mary Bell had gone back after killing him to carve an “N” into his stomach with a razor, this was then changed using the same razor but with a different hand to an “M”. Mary Bell also used a pair of scissors to cut off bits of Brian Howe’s hair and part of his genitals. As the girls were so young and their testimonies contradicted each other, it has never been entirely clear precisely what happened.
Martin Brown’s death was initially ruled an accident as there was no evidence of foul play. Eventually, his death was linked with Brian Howe’s killing and in August, the two girls were charged with two counts of manslaughter. Mary was released in 1980 with court ordered anonymity. In 2003, the courts awarded her and her daughter anonymity for life.
1. Eric Harris And Dylan Klebold
The rise of school shootings has been staggering over the past 15 years and they still leave many people ultimately wondering why? Most of the kids involved had been ridiculed one way or another by not only school mates, but also family members at home. These murderous children acquired large caliber weapons in most cases; though in others, knives, hand guns, or the like were brought in to their schools and use just as effectively. Teachers, faculty, and students loose their lives each and every time this happens.
On Tuesday, April 20, 1999, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, embarked on a massacre, killing 12 students and 1 teacher. They also injured 21 other students directly, and three people were injured while attempting to escape. The pair then committed suicide. It is the fourth-deadliest school massacre in United States history, after the 1927 Bath School disaster, 2007 Virginia Tech massacre, and the 1966 University of Texas massacre, and the deadliest for an American high school.
In the aftermath, a great deal of debate occurred about the killers'
motivation and whether anything could have prevented the crime. Unlike
some other school shootings, the fact that both shooters committed
suicide made this one particularly difficult to assess. Answers were
slow in coming. There were no arrests or trial through which the victims
could vent their outrage.
This list is nothing but the tip of the ever-increasing iceberg...
Children are supposed to be innocent and pure; without malice, contempt,
sinister anger or desires to kill, yet every year many commit horrific
crimes.
Here is a list with Ten of the Most Evil Children in History. The age limit for this list is 17 years old.
10. Brian And David Freeman
The Freeman boys had always been a handful, drinking beer from the age
of six, taking drugs and even becoming racist skinheads. Everyone in the community knew they were troubled, but no one
expected them to kill their whole family in cold blood.
Bryan Freeman, 17 and David, 16, who had shaved and tattooed their heads as a symbol of their neo-Nazi beliefs, were immediate suspects when their parents and younger brother were found bludgeoned to death in their Salisbury Township, PA, home. The boys had been terrorizing the family and as a whole, the town. As the police told it, the triple murder uncovered in Salisbury Township, Pa., that week was every parent’s nightmare - the ghastly culmination of a long-running battle of wills between the parents Brenda and Dennis Freeman and their loutish, hulking sons Bryan and David.
9. Edmund Kemper
Also known as "The Co-ed Killer", he is an American serial killer and a necrophile who was active in California in the early 1970s.
In 1964, when Edmund Kemper was 15, he shot his grandparents, killing them both. He had been planning his repulsive act for some time and had no regrets later. The California Youth Authority detained him in Juvenile Hall so that they could put him through rigorous series of tests administered by a psychiatrist. Because the results suggested that he was a paranoid psychotic, he was sent to Atascadero State Hospital for treatment. There he learned what others thought about his crime and worked hard to make his doctors believe that he had recovered.
Although he was considered a sociopath, he worked in the psychology lab to help administer the tests to others. In the process, he learned a lot about other deviant offenders. Kemper was released after another five years and remained under the supervision of the Youth Authority. His doctors recommended that he not be returned to his mother’s care, but the Youth Authority ignored this. After Kemper murdered and dismembered eight women over the next five years, these same doctors affirmed his insanity defense. In fact, even as he was carrying parts of his victims around, a panel of psychiatrists judged him to be no threat to society.
8. Joshua Phillips
In 1998, 14-year-old Joshua Phillips bludgeoned his 8-year-old neighbor to death and hid her body beneath his bed. Seven days later, his mother noticed something leaking from beneath the bed. Joshua claimed that’s he’d accidentally hit Maddie in the eye with his baseball bat causing her to scream. In his panic he dragged her to his home where he hit her again and then stabbed her eleven times.
His story failed to convince a Florida jury, who convicted of the first degree murder, and sentenced to life in prison without chance of parole.
His mother is still appealing his conviction based upon the fact that he was given an adult penalty for his crime and at age 26, Joshua Phillip is still in prison serving his life sentence.
7. Willie Bosket
Willie Bosket, born on December 9, 1962, is a convicted murderer, whose crimes, committed while he was still a minor, led to a change in New York state law, so that juveniles as young as thirteen could be tried in adult court for murder and would face the same penalties.
On March 19, 1978, Willie Bosket, then fifteen years old, shot dead Noel Perez on the New York subway, during an attempt to steal some money and a watch. Eight days later, Bosket shot another man, Moises Perez (no relation to his first victim) in another botched robbery attempt. Bosket was tried and convicted of the murders in the New York City Family court, where he was sentenced to five years in prison (the maximum for a minor).
The short length of Bosket’s sentence caused a public outcry, and led the New York State Legislature to pass the Juvenile Offender Act of 1978. Under this act, children as young as thirteen years old could be tried in an adult court for crimes such as murder, rape, arson, assault and burglary, and receive the same penalties as adults. New York was the first state to enact a law of this nature; many other legislatures have since followed suit.
Bosket was eventually released from prison, but has subsequently been convicted of a number of other felonies, for which he has received a number of life sentences. He is currently in the New York prison system, in solitary confinement.
6. Laurie Tackett
On the morning of Saturday, January 11, 1992, Indiana resident Donn Foley and his brother Ralph decided to do some quail hunting in a nearby Jefferson County forest. Just one mile into their trip, as Donn turned onto Lemon Road, Ralph spotted a strange object just a few feet from the road in a barren soybean field. At once it appeared to them that it might be a body, but the form was so badly burned and scarred that it looked to them to be a doll. Upon closer investigation, it became painfully obvious that it was not a doll.
Upon investigation, it turned out to be the body of Shanda Sharer who would later be found the victim of a jealous lesbian love triangle. Her body, prior to the murder, had been slashed and stabbed with death eventually resulting from torching. Laurie Tackett was ultimately implicated along with Toni Lawrence and Hope Rippey.
Mary Laurine (Laurie) Tackett was born on October 5, 1974 in Madison, Indiana. Her mother was a fundamentalist Pentecostal Christian and her father was a factory worker with two felony convictions and prison stints in the 1960s. Tackett claimed she was molested at least twice as a child, at ages five and twelve.
5. Brenda Anne Spencer
On Monday, January 29, 1979, 16-year-old Brenda Ann Spencer put herself by a window in her home and began
randomly shooting at Grover Cleveland Elementary School across the
street. She opened fire as children were waiting outside for principal
Burton Wragg to open the gate.
The shooting claimed the lives of Wragg and Mike Suchar, and injured
eight students and a police officer. Wragg was killed while trying to
help the children, and Suchar was killed while trying to pull Wragg to
safety.
The school was across the street from her house. She used the rifle she had recently been given for Christmas by her father. When the six-hour incident ended and the pretty teenager was asked why she had committed the crime, she shrugged and replied, “I don’t like Mondays. This livens up the day.” She also said: “I had no reason for it, and it was just a lot of fun.” “It was just like shooting ducks in a pond.” and “(The children) looked like a herd of cows standing around; it was really easy pickings.”
Her lack of remorse and inability to provide a serious explanation for her actions when captured inspired the song “I Don’t Like Mondays” by The Boomtown Rats, written by socialist musician Bob Geldof. Her quote “I don’t like Mondays” also appears written on a wall in the movie, The Breakfast Club.
Scary urban legends exist almost everywhere. Many urban legends are real stories that have changed over time to the point where they are no longer recognizable as the original story. Other urban legends are simply made up stories that have no basis in truth. These particular urban legend of this post have thrilled people for several generations and they still are some of the most common legends told at slumber parties and camping trips.
Don't Answer The Phone
A babysitter was watching television one night after putting the kids to bed, and the phone rang. When she answered it there was no one on the other end - just a sound of breath.
Two minutes later, the phone rang again. This time a hysterical laughter burst out of the phone. Concerned, she called the operator, who told her that they would trace the call.
When the phone rang again, she answered it to hear a low, terrifying laugh again before the caller hung up.
Barely seconds later, the phone rang once more. The operator shouted, "Ma'am, you have to get out of the house right now. We traced the call and it's coming from the other extension in your house!" The babysitter dropped the phone and as she raced to the front door, she heard the pounding footsteps of someone racing down the stairs. She ran out of the house and collided into a police officer. As the officer and his partner ran into the house they found a man holding a butcher's knife. The murderer had entered the house through an upstairs window, murdered both children and was planning to murder the babysitter next.
Flashed From Behind
A college student was traveling home from school. As she entered one particularly long, dark stretch of forest, a car that had been following her suddenly raced up close and the driver flashed his lights. She accelerated in order to pull away, but the car kept pace and again flashed his lights. She accelerated again, but the car behind her kept up and continued flashing his lights.
Within moments, the student saw an approaching police car. She pulled over and so did the car behind her and the police car pulled up behind them both. The officer quickly got out of his car and raced towards her. The officer pulled her quickly out of the car and before she could ask what was happening he ran back to the car and with his gun drawn, opened the back door and shouted, "Get out of the car slowly with your hands in the air." As the college student watched, a large man holding a knife got out of the back seat of her car. As he was being handcuffed, the man who had been following her told her that he was flashing his lights every time the man would rise up from the back seat to stab her.
The Clown Statue
A babysitter was working one night at a house and after she puts the
children to sleep she goes to watch tv in the parents bedroom, because it was closer to the children.
She flipped the lights off and plopped down on the bed. As she pushed
the power button on the remote, the room was flooded with light from the
television. She saw the creepy statue instantly. It was a fairly big
statue of a clown, that had the most sinister look on it’s face. It
stood in the corner and seemed to be watching her every move.
Finally, the babysitter became concerned by its presence and called the parents. Upon hearing its description, the mother ordered the babysitter to leave the house immediately with the children and head for the neighbors.
Even not understanding what was happening she did what she was told to and went to the neighbors with the kids.
When arriving at the neighbors, the parents explained the sitter that they never had a life-sized clown statue. Apparently a mentally ill neighbor had been threatening to murder the family. He had dressed as a clown and was laying in wait for them in that room.
Glass in the Fried Rice
A couple had a tradition of ordering Chinese food every Friday night from their favorite local restaurant. One particular Friday night they ordered their usual, which came with a large order of fried rice.
By the middle of the night they were both overcome with excruciating stomach pain and severe bleeding. The husband became so concerned the he called 911 for help. Two ambulances arrived, and as they loaded the husband and wife into the vehicles they also collected samples of the Chinese food the couple had eaten the night before.
Neither the husband nor wife made it to the hospital; they both died of internal bleeding. An analysis of the Chinese food turned up fragments of glass throughout the fried rice. A subsequent inspection of the Chinese restaurant revealed that a disgruntled employee had broken a drinking glass, chosen a random batch of fried rice and poured the tiny glass fragments into the rice. The employee was arrested for the two deaths.
The Dead Dog
A child who woke during the night would frequently hold her hand out to her dog to lick so she would go back to sleep. One night, she was awakened multiple times by what sounded like a dripping faucet. Each time she awoke, she put her hand down for her dog to lick. When morning came, she went into the bathroom to find out what was causing the dripping. In the shower, she discovered her dead dog hanging from the curtain rod, with his blood dripping into the drain. When she returned to her room, she discovered a note which read, "Humans can lick, too."
Here I am showing you only five but you will find literally hundreds of scary urban legends all around the world. Each urban legend typically has several versions to it.
If they are true or not we might never know for sure, but of one thing we do know: urban legends satisfy a human desire to find entertainment and thrills within our deepest and darkest fears.
There you are walking down a street where you have never been before, but for some reason it seems familiar. It's almost as if this had happened before! But how?
Déjà vu (literally "already seen") is the experience of feeling sure that one has already witnessed or experienced a current situation, even though the exact circumstances of it are uncertain and were perhaps imagined. The experience of déjà vu is usually accompanied by a compelling sense of familiarity, and also a sense of "eeriness", "strangeness", "weirdness", or what Sigmund Freud calls "the uncanny". The "previous" experience is most frequently attributed to a dream, although in some cases there is a firm sense that the experience has genuinely happened in the past.
Theories
1. Scientifically a deja vu attributed to the hippocampus, which is an area of the brain responsible for memory. It is believed that in some situations the hippocampus records before the time a new fact that is happening. This confusion of registration in the presence of an event makes you feel that the situation has already occurred. It is a failure of microseconds but it happens. According to psychologists deja vu depends greatly on the individual's routine. The more imaginative the subject, most frequently the phenomenon can happen. It is also variable, depending on their habits. People who leave or travel a lot tend to feel more often than those who stay more home.
2. Spiritualists believe that Deja vu is related to reincarnation. An event you lived or a place you’ve been in a past life for example. Another spiritualist explanation is that the Deja vu emerges from the unconscious, whereas in the hours of sleep, the Spirit, protruding from the body with the perispirit, wanders around, looking after their interests and preparing to face their new tasks the next day. Thus, the feeling that a certain task has already been done or a certain place already been visited, without ever having been there before, can be the result of this out of the body experience and do not necessarily come from previous incarnations.
3. Well, there's also the theory of the Divine! Because as in the Bible itself is written that God owns time, which for God the time doesn’t really exist, He has the power to cross our chronological time, meaning that our memories are still a great mystery, and can store the past and so things to come too! Then the "DEJA VU" is a reminder of a future situation and not a past one.
