The Night We Met the Monster

“Rebecca Jane and Robert Patrick, stop that fighting right now and go to sleep.” “Yes, Mom,” I said. I could tell she was serious when she used our middle names. I would have gone to sleep if it hadn’t been for the noise in the attic. It reminded me of when Mom burns the toast and then scrapes it off with a knife. At first, I thought it was my little brother Robbie scratching on his bedroom wall just to bug me. Sometimes, he was such a little pest. But when I realized the noise was coming from the attic, sleep was the furthest thing from my mind. My door creaked. I bet I jumped an inch off my bed. “Rebecca?” I poked my head out from under the covers…

The Night We Met the Monster

Mystery of the Edmund Fitzgerald

“The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down, of the big lake they call Gitche Gumee . . .” The haunting song “The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald” tells the legend of a shipwreck. But the story is more than a legend. The Edmund Fitzgerald was a real ship. On November 10, 1975, it suddenly plunged to the bottom of Lake Superior. What happened is a mystery. The Fitzgerald was as long as two city blocks. It was called “The Pride of the American Side” and was one of the hardest-working ships on the entire Great Lakes. This mighty ship carried tons of taconite, a flinty rock, from Minnesota mines down to blast furnaces along the lower Great Lakes. Then came that fateful day in 1975. The Fitzgerald set…

The Mysteries of CHACO

A soft wind blows through the empty buildings and down the streets of the ancient town of Chaco. There are many large rooms in the buildings, but the rooms are empty. The buildings are in decay, and many of the roofs are gone. The people all left long ago. No one knows why. It is one of the mysteries of Chaco. This place is quiet. A small group of us, schoolkids and adults, follows our guide. We take pictures and talk softly. We are learning about the Chaco Culture National Park in New Mexico and the people who lived here 1000 years ago. There are many mysteries about Chaco. Why did ancient people build here in the first place? The land is harsh. Temperatures reach 100 degrees in the summer.…

Curiously Mysterious Animals

FRIED EGG JELLYFISH. It’s no yoke. With its rounded yellow dome and flat, circular white bell, this creature looks like a large fried egg floating in the sea! The clusters that look like cauliflower are the bunched-up ends of the jellies’ mouth-arms. To eat, these jellies absorb tiny plankton and egg larvae right into the mouth-arms. Then the food travels to the jelly’s stomach. Creature features: ▪ A jelly has no brain, heart, blood, teeth, nose, or ears. Sets of nerves allow it to sense light or know what direction it’s facing.▪ Most of their time is spent motionless. To move, they gently pulse their bells.▪ This species of jellyfish is about 13 inches long, and their bodies are 98% water. Maned Wolf. It’s called a wolf, but it is…

Two Science Mysteries to Solve

If you like solving mysteries, then you’ll love doing these science experiments! Scientists do experiments to learn things they don’t know. Sometimes they experiment to prove something they DO know. They often make a guess, or HYPOTHESIS, then experiment to see if their guess is right. Here are two mysteries. I have given you my hypothesis for each one. Remember, a hypothesis is only a GUESS, so you don’t have to agree with me. Do the experiments to find out whether our guesses are correct! Science Mystery Number 1 Is a tomato a vegetable or a fruit? My hypothesis is that it is a fruit. What is YOUR hypothesis? How can you tell what a tomato is? Experiment! But first, do you know the difference between a fruit and a…

Two Science Mysteries to Solve

Cowboy Clark & Larry

Fifty-seven honeybees made their home in an elm tree’s magnificent trunk. Currently, they’re being spied on by Mrs. Whiskers, who sits a mere foot away on the fourth branch. Having pleaded with her for several minutes to come down, Larry howled, “I’m afraid you’re going to hurt yourself.” Cowboy Clark shook his head. “She’s a cat. Everyone knows they’re nosy.” “Cats are curious, not nosy,” Mrs. Whiskers said as she came down the trunk of the tree backwards. “What were you doing?” Larry asked. “Watching a wiggle-waggle dance.” Larry was intrigued. “What’s a wiggle-waggle dance?” Mrs. Whiskers explained. “Worker bees are sent out to find food for the colony. Once they find some, the bee returns and performs a wiggle-waggle dance to indicate where the food is located.” Cowboy Clark…

Mystery of the Petrifying Well

For centuries, the people in the town of Knaresborough, England, lived with a mystery. In the woods nearby, ice-cold water flowed over a rocky cliff and down into a pool. The waters never stopped running, not even during a drought. Even more astonishing, whatever fell into the pool – leaves, sticks, and even small animals – eventually turned into stone! What power does this water have? the townsfolk asked one another. Stories spread about this amazing “petrifying well.” Visitors came over the years, leaving everyday objects behind to see the water work its wonders. They left bonnets, hats, toys, spoons, and teapots. A queen of England even left a shoe there. All turned to stone. Today we know the petrifying well’s secret. The water comes from an underground lake and…

Mystery of the Petrifying Well

Everyone aboard the small ship disappeared without a trace. Except for an occasional creaking rope or the flapping of a wind-whipped sail, the Mary Celeste drifted along in ghostly silence. Missing were the ship’s captain, his wife, their small child, and the seven crew members. This ship had left New York on November 7, 1872, bound for Genoa, Italy. Twenty-eight days later, the Mary Celeste was spotted near the Azores, islands off the coast of Portugal, by the crew of another ship, the Dei Gratia. “AHOY, THERE!” yelled the Dei Gratia’s captain. When there was no response, he ordered three of his men to board the silent ship. What they found only deepened the mystery. In the cabin, the helm spun around lazily. The ship’s shiny brass clock had stopped,…

A Mystery Lost to Time

As the explorers peered into the tomb, their excitement grew. Through the thick shadows and the dust of 3000 years, they saw glints of gold and jewels beyond their wildest imaginings. They had discovered the tomb of King Tutankhamun (tootahnk-ah-mun). King “Tut,” for short, has become one of the most famous Egyptian pharaohs since archaeologist Howard Carter discovered the tomb in 1923 near the tombs of other Egyptian kings. Carter had searched for several years. King Tut’s tomb was well worth the wait. Inside, Carter and his team found swords, musical instruments, model boats, food, beds shaped like lions and crocodiles, and even the king’s wig, robe, and sandals. Tut’s mummy wore an elaborate solid gold mask. But by opening the tomb, Carter began what became known as the “Curse…

Mystery in the Old House

It really wasn’t a spooky house. It just looked like it from far away. Only a glimpse of its pointed roof towering above the trees was visible from the foot of the winding lane. A thousand window eyes peered through tree branches. Up close, it was more interesting than scary. It was a freshly painted, white, two-story house. And it was our new home in Pleasantville. When Dad got Mr. Casey’s job as head of the museum, they threw this house in with the deal. Dad said it was furnished with a lot of old stuff: antiques. The day we moved in, Shara, my 10-year-old sister, and I decided to investigate the mansion. Two heavy wooden doors at the front of the house led inside to a spacious hallway with…

Mystery in the Old House

The Mysterious Kate Warne

In 1856, 23-year-old Kate Warne walked into the Pinkerton Detective Agency to apply for a job. Unfortunately, Allan Pinkerton had to inform her that the secretarial job had been filled. “But I’m not here to apply for secretary work,” may have been Kate’s reply. Allan Pinkerton took a chance that day in hiring Kate as his first female detective. It was a smart move on his part. No one ever suspected a woman working as a detective, and Kate learned to use this to her advantage. She became adept at wearing disguises, using different accents, and changing her name as needed to blend in with the enemy. Some names she used were M.B. and Mrs. Cherry. Pinkerton called her Kitty. Kate was a woman of mystery, and very little personal…

And the sky turned from orange to gray all was peaceful and calm as the parents kissed their kids goodnight as the stars shine bright and the trees stand bare their branches outstretched as the wind whispers in their ears while the snowflakes dance and twirl and disappear while the moon peaks behind the mountains.
