▲She's the most commercially successful author in history, something which makes her a prime target for wild conspiracy theories.

▲Lord Lucan disappeared in 1974 after allegedly murdering the family nanny under the mistaken assumption that she was his wife.

▲This insane theory is a surprisingly popular one.

▲Over the past century, much photographic and video evidence has surfaced purporting to show the Loch Ness monster. All of them have been dismissed as fakes, and nothing conclusive has ever been proven about Nessie.

▲Stonehenge is a mysterious structure, and historians have yet to overwhelmingly agree on how it was built or what its purpose was.

▲But the mystery is far from over, especially after a cyclist claimed in April 2018 that he was pushed into a canal by a man who then prevented him from getting out of the water.
