The Ship That Refused to Die: The 38-Year Ghost Voyage of the SS Baychimo

Enigmatic Places
The Waterfall That Swallowed Half a River — and How Two Numbers Solved It
Half of Minnesota's Brule River plunges into a hole in the rock and vanishes. For decades, everything thrown in disappeared without a trace — until two hydrologists tried the simplest test of all.

Impossible Objects
The Shroud of Turin: The Cloth That Refuses to Give Up Its Age
A fourteen-foot linen bears the ghostly image of a crucified man. Radiocarbon dating says the Middle Ages; a newer X-ray method says two thousand years. The science is still fighting.

Strange Mass Events
The Laughter That Closed the Schools: Tanganyika, 1962
