From disappearances in the Bermuda Triangle to children working in warehouses, here are
11 dark and mysterious secrets of America.
11.)
Roanoke Colony Roanoke Colony was established in 1585 on
Roanoke Island in what is today's Dare County, North Carolina.
Today, the colony is known as the "Lost Colony" because the settlers of this area
mysteriously vanished, only leaving behind a coded message.
The story goes that due to the lack of supplies, Captain John White was forced to return to
England, leaving behind his friends and family.
When he finally returned to the new world, three years later, he came back to a deserted
settlement.
The only remaining evidence that anyone had been there were the words 'CRO' and 'CROATOAN'
carved on two trees.
White took the letters to mean that the colonists had moved to Croatoan Island, some 50 miles
away, but a later search of the island found none of the settlers.
Recent archeologist evidence shows that the three years John White was away, the colony
would have dealt with extreme drought.
These conditions undoubtedly contributed to the demise of the so-called Lost Colony, but
where the settlers went after they left Roanoke remains one of America's mysteries.
10.)
Area 51 In the Nevada Desert, there is said to be
an area full of mysteries that includes governmental agencies and Aliens.
This are is protected by a chain link fence, intimidating trespassing signs, a boom gate,
which is a bar or pole pivoted to allow the boom to block vehicular access through a controlled
point.
and cameras lurking around every corner.
Some say this is home to UFO spaceships which have crashed in the states while others believe
this is where studies are done on Aliens.
Must of this mystery comes from a variety of said UFO sightings in the area and testimony
from a retired Army colonel who said he was given access to extraterrestrial materials
gathered from an alien spacecraft that crashed in Roswell, New Mexico in 1947.
Other claims state that there is no such thing as any UFO evidence in Area 51 and that it
is just a regular military base.
But the mystery surrounding Area 51 remains one of America's biggest mysteries as while
people know it exists, the government will not discuss why it exists.

Andersonville POW camp in Georgia For the last year during the American Civil
War, February 1864-April 1865, the state of Georgia was home to a notorious Confederate
military prison called Andersonville.
The official name was Camp Sumter and was the South's largest prison for captured
Union soldiers.
It was known for its unsanitary conditions and death toll.
It is reported that about 13,000 Union soldiers died within the walls of this camp, which
was the highest mortality rate of all Civil War prison camps.
The camp itself housed four times its capacity amount at one time, with holding about 45,000
union soldiers total.
The small stream that served as the camp's primary water supply, both for drinking and
bathing, was polluted by the unsanitary habits of some inmates and by sewage and other garbage
dumped into the swampy area that fed the stream.
It was commanded by Captain Henry Wirz, who was tried and executed after the war for war
crimes.
Today, Andersonville is a national historic site which you can visit to experience a secret
part of the American Civil War.
8.)
Time Travel According to Seattle based attorney, Andrew
D. Basiago, time travel is one of America's biggest secrets, known as Project Pegasus.
In 1968, this program was the classified, defense-related research and development program
under the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency in which the US defense-technical community
achieved time travel on behalf of the US government.
Along with Basiago, the program reportedly had 139 other school children.
Basiago stated, "They trained children along with adults so they could test the mental
and physical effects of time travel on kids."
Basiago continues on with this secret, saying he took part in 8 different time travel events,
and can be seen in a photograph of Abraham Lincoln as Gettysburg.
Today, it is said that time travel is perfected to the point that it can allow any American
citizen to go into the past or the future.
However, security measures still need to be completed so criminals cannot use the machine.
7.)
America's Lost City Long before Columbus reached the Americas,
Cahokia was the biggest, most multicultural city north of Mexico.
However, by 1350 it had been deserted by its native inhabitants, the Mississippians and,
to this day, it remains a mystery why.
Cahokia is said to have had a population the size of London and was located about eight
miles from present-day St Louis.
Reportedly, this city was filled with large pyramids and lands prone to flooding.
The city was supposedly between ix and nine square miles in area, with 120 earthen mounds
inside its rough borders.
Archeologists believe the decline of the city would have been caused by a continuous threat,
however, people can only theorize what happened to America's lost city.
Perhaps they had exhausted the land's resources, as some scholars theorize, or were the victims
of political and social unrest, climate change, or extended droughts.
6.)
Mexican Deportation When the Great Depression hit, several people
believed that the Mexicans had caused the event.
It did not take long for the governmental agency, Immigration and Naturalization Service,
to begin round up Mexicans, including American Citizens, and send them back to Mexico without
due process.
This Mexican Repatriation occurred between 1929 and 1936, with an estimated range of
500,000 to 2 million Mexican-Americans sent back.
Reportedly, it is believed that about 60 percent of the Mexican-Americans sent back were born
in the United States.
The hardest part in studying this historical event for anyone is that very little records
were kept by the government because relatively few of them were expelled under formal INS-directed
removal proceedings.
In 2005, the State of California passed the "Apology Act for the 1930s Mexican Repatriation
Program", apologizing for the state government's role in the repatriation.
5.)
Spontaneous Human Combustion Over the past 300 years, there have been more
than 200 reports of Spontaneous Human Combustion.
This is when people randomly burst into flames by a fire started inside their body, resulting
in death has been an American mystery for decades.
The limbs, such as the hands, feet, or parts of the leg often remaining intact.
But the torso and head are charred beyond any recognition and, in some rare cases, the
internal organs of a victim remain untouched.
Another interesting tidbit of this mystery is that the rooms, where people have reportedly
burned, often have a sweet smoky smell and has a greasy residue on furniture and walls,
other than this, nothing points to a fire of some sort.
4.)
Bermuda Triangle Mystery For decades, the Bermuda Triangle, and area
in the Atlantic Ocean roughly bounded by Miami, Bermuda and Puerto Rico, has been a source
of mystery.
This is an area where dozen of airplanes and ships have disappeared including El Faro,
a cargo ship with 33 on board, and the USS Cyclops, resulting in the largest non-combat
loss of life in U.S. Navy's history.
It is reported that at least 75 ships along with hundreds of airplanes have met their
fate in the area of the Bermuda Triangle.
Scientists have studied the area for years, wondering what would be the cause of the deadly
mystery behind the Bermuda Triangle.
They have pondered theories such as paranormal situations, electromagnetic interference that
causes compass problems, bad weather, the gulf stream, and large undersea fields of
methane.
And most recently, hexagonal clouds creating 170 mph air bombs full of wind.
These air pockets cause all the mischief, sinking ships and downing planes.
However, no one can say anything is the cause of all these disappearances with 100 percent
certainty, which makes this American mystery continue its storyline.
3.)
Children in Warehouses In the early 1900s, hundreds of thousands
of children were warehoused in institutions and the government did nothing to stop it,
becoming one of America's deep, dark secrets.
Children who were houses in these institutions were called "feeble-minded" however, many
were not.
The most infamous school of this kind is called The Fernald School, which housed about 2,500
children at its peak.
This school was built in 1888 in Massachusetts and holds a terrible legacy of exposing children
to semi-secret radiation testing.
Overseen by researchers from Harvard and MIT and with funding from the Quaker Oats company,
the inmates were systematically exposed to small doses of radiation and their absorption
of the toxic energy was monitored.
It wasn't until the 1970s that the facility began to make positive changes, after being
sued for his horrible conditions.
Finally, the facility closed in 2014 and now you can view the facility behind the no trespassing
signs.
2.)
No News on the Sinking of the Sultana On April 27, 1865 when the steamboat the Sultana
sunk, killing more people than the Titanic, very little was said about this disaster.
The steamer registered at about 1,719 tons and normally carried a crew of 85.
For two years, the Sultana ran a regular route between St. Louis and New Orleans, frequently
commissioned to carry troops.
Even though the Sultana had a capacity of only 376 passengers, but she was carrying
2,155.
1.192 passengers were killed when three of the boat's four boilers exploded and she burned
to the waterline and sank near Memphis, Tennessee.
Many people believe that this event carried very little news because it was overshadowed
by the assassination of Abraham Lincoln.
Furthermore, it was the day before that John Wilkes Booth, Lincoln's killer, was killed.
In fact, the little news of the sinking of the Sultana carries into today, making it
one of America's unintended dark secrets.
1.)
MOVE black liberation group MOVE was a Philadelphia-based black liberation
group founded by John Africa in the 1970s.
The group lived communally and frequently engage in public demonstrations against racism,
police brutality, and other issues.
This movement, today, has become a hidden fact in American history, developing this
moment and the actions between them and the Philadelphia Police Department a secret in
American history.
One of the most notorious actions between the two occurred in 1985 when a police helicopter
dropped a bomb on their compound, causing a fire, and killing eleven move members.
Furthermore, this action destroyed about 65 houses, leaving the majority of the group
homeless.
It is stated the attack started because the members of the group refused arrest due to
illegal firearms and violating parole.
In the aftermath of the bombing, Mayor Wilson Goode tasked a commission with investigating
the actions of the police; they produced a report condemning the bombing, although no
one was ever charged for their actions.
