What Happened to the USS Cyclops?

The USS Cyclops was a ship carrying 306 passengers and crew members and departed from Rio de Janeiro on February 16, 1918. The ship was also carrying manganese ore. It made an unscheduled stop in Barbados and then headed out for Baltimore on March 4, 1918.

The Missing Lighthouse Keepers of Flannan Isles

On December 7, 1900, three lighthouse keepers went to Flannan Isles to work a two-week shift. When their shift had ended and the boat arrived to collect them, it was found that the lighthouse was locked. When they entered the lighthouse, they found that the lighthouse keepers were gone. There was no trace of their bodies, and the meal on the table was uneaten.
