    -3 DIAS

    The Disappearance of Agatha Christie

    In December 1926, the world's most famous crime writer vanished. Agatha Christie left her home in Berkshire, abandoned her car near a quarry, and disappeared without explanation. For eleven days, Britain was gripped by one of the largest manhunts in its history. Then, just as suddenly, she was found alive in a Harrogate hotel, registered under a false name and claiming no memory of what had happened. In this episode of Compact Mysteries, we unravel the strange disappearance of Agatha Christie. We explore the pressures in her personal life, the nationwide search, the baffling circumstances of her discovery, and the questions she never answered. Was it a genuine psychological breakdown? A deliberate act of escape? Or something more complicated that defies simple explanation? 🎧 Listen now to the only mystery Agatha Christie never solved.

  3. The Mystery of the Circleville Letters

    5/02

    The Mystery of the Circleville Letters

    For nearly two decades, an anonymous writer terrorised a small town in Ohio using nothing more than pen, paper, and intimate knowledge. Beginning in the mid-1970s, residents of Circleville received threatening letters accusing them of affairs, corruption, and hidden crimes. The writer knew personal details that were not public, and when the letters were ignored, the threats escalated. One man was convicted. The letters did not stop. In this episode of Compact Mysteries, we investigate the Circleville Letters. We trace the origins of the campaign, examine the arrest and conviction of a prime suspect, and confront the most disturbing question of all: how did the letters continue even after someone was sent to prison? Was the wrong person convicted? Was there more than one letter writer? Or did the truth vanish along with the author's identity? 🎧 Listen now to one of America's most unsettling cases of anonymous harassment.

  4. The Mystery of the Vinland Map

    29/01

    The Mystery of the Vinland Map

    In 1957, a map surfaced that threatened to rewrite the history of exploration. The Vinland Map appeared to show part of North America nearly 500 years before Columbus, suggesting that Norse explorers had mapped the western Atlantic world in the 15th century. If genuine, it would be one of the most important cartographic discoveries ever made. In this episode of Compact Mysteries, we investigate the strange emergence of the Vinland Map, its connection to Viking exploration, and the fierce debate over its authenticity. We examine the scientific tests, the ink analysis, the provenance gaps, and why decades of expert scrutiny failed to deliver a simple verdict. Was the Vinland Map a genuine medieval document confirming Norse knowledge of the Americas? Or a sophisticated modern forgery that fooled the academic world for years? 🎧 Listen now as we explore one of history's most controversial maps.

  5. The Mystery of the Copper Scroll Treasure

    The Mystery of the Copper Scroll Treasure

    Discovered in 1952 near the Dead Sea, one ancient text stands apart from all the others. Unlike the fragile parchment manuscripts found at Qumran, the Copper Scroll was engraved onto metal sheets and listed something extraordinary: a detailed inventory of hidden treasure, complete with locations, quantities, and cryptic instructions. In this episode of Compact Mysteries, we explore the strange origins of the Copper Scroll, its relationship to the Dead Sea Scrolls, and the enduring mystery of whether its treasure was ever real. We examine the unusual material of the scroll, the challenges of interpreting its text, and the many failed attempts to locate what it claims was hidden. Was this a genuine record of Temple treasure concealed before the Roman destruction of Jerusalem? A symbolic document? Or an elaborate ancient misdirection? 🎧 Listen now and uncover one of archaeology's most tantalising unsolved riddles.

    The Disappearance of Alfred Loewenstein

    On 4 July 1928, one of the richest men in the world vanished mid-flight. Alfred Loewenstein, a Belgian financier with vast international interests, boarded a private aircraft travelling from Croydon to Brussels. Somewhere over the English Channel, he left his seat, entered a small washroom, and was never seen alive again. Moments later, he was gone. In this episode of Compact Mysteries, we examine the baffling disappearance of Alfred Loewenstein. We explore the layout of the aircraft, the timeline of the flight, the discovery of his body weeks later, and the competing explanations that range from tragic accident to carefully staged suicide, and even murder. How does a man simply fall from a plane without anyone noticing? And why did the official explanation leave so many unanswered questions? 🎧 Listen now to one of aviation history's strangest unsolved mysteries.

  7. The Mystery of the Lost Civilisation of the Indus Valley

    8/01

    The Mystery of the Lost Civilisation of the Indus Valley

    The Indus Valley Civilisation was one of the world's earliest and most advanced urban societies, flourishing over 4,000 years ago across what is now Pakistan and northwest India. Its cities were meticulously planned, its engineering astonishingly sophisticated, and its people remarkably organised. And then, without a clear explanation, it declined. In this episode of Compact Mysteries, we explore the rise and disappearance of the Indus Valley Civilisation. We look at its major cities, its undeciphered script, its relationship with climate and trade, and the competing theories that attempt to explain why a civilisation of this scale faded without leaving behind clear answers. Was it climate change, shifting rivers, economic collapse, or something more complex? And why does the mystery still resist resolution today? 🎧 Listen now and explore one of history's greatest unsolved disappearances.
