The Greatest Mysteries in History: 101 of the Most Mind-Boggling Mysteries Ever!

If your into writing horror or sci-fi, this is a fun book to grab a bunch of ideas that happened throughout history to draw concepts grounded in our reality to some extent. You can then take these ideas and write some fun stories from them.There are such a vast variety of ideas to pull from. They stretch from different technologies, shifts in the planet, things that were built, and strange weather phenomenon. The book includes some classics like the road to el dorodo as well as a list of tons of mysterious creatures. I'm sure you've heard of some of them, but probably not all of them.My favorite section is probably chapter six on hauntings. Most of the hauntings mentioned in the book, I didn't even hear about.The format is very easy to follow and even if you aren't a writer, you might get some enjoyment out of it seeing all the different speculations.

The volume of ideas, facts, and theories the book gives are very interesting and some well known to many interested in the unknown. It's a great starter for those interested in the history of the unknown wonders of the world.
