The last line of ingredients
Not sure if this belongs here
HELP!
Sadly, the author left no further details
Found this on a sidewalk close to my house
Might be a shot in the dark but I’m almost certain Meth has something to do with this…
Found inside my strawberry box
Was under the first layer of strawberries and it’s a receipt for bananas!!
Found inside a used copy of A Visit From the Goon Squad
Found under a cushion on my front porch
I’ve lived here the whole time &&& my name’s not Jessica.
So surprised to find it.
Either I missed the opportunity of a lifetime… or narrowly escaped one.
Found this business card deep in the Arkansas woods decades ago.
I’ve kept it all this time because it’s one of those small mysteries that never quite leaves your mind.
It reads: “Marco Magic – For all your MAGICAL needs” with a phone number and an old rural route address in Stamps, Arkansas.
Was Marco a stage magician? A clown? Some kind of folk magician, spiritual practitioner, or fortune teller? The wording is vague enough that it could’ve meant anything.
The “RT. 2, Box 285” address is an old rural route format used before 911 address systems replaced them in the 1990s, which makes this likely several decades old.
I’ve never been able to find any trace of “Marco Magic” since. If anyone from southwest Arkansas remembers I’d love to finally solve the mystery.
Mysterious sketch of a face haunts shopping list
Someone left behind this brief shopping list at Aldi on the Fourth of July. Why did they take the time to sketch a face on it? Or did they previously sketch the face then decide to use the paper for a shopping list? Who is the person they sketched? This individual does not look happy. Maybe suspicious or tired of some nonsense.
Found in an Italian book donated to my library
Curious if anyone has insight on the acronyms!
Someone is about to have quite the party
Left on the table I sat down at for lunch a couple days ago
Found in an old empty farmhouse
Found in an old box of many assorted papers in a house that hasn’t been occupied in 25+ years. This was written on a personalized notepad so I blacked out the name of the woman. Her name is unfamiliar to me and I don’t know if she is the person who wrote it, or if someone else used the notepad. The woman died in 2020 and was local to my area (I found her obituary) but she is not a former resident, and doesn’t have the same family name, as anyone who previously lived in the house.
What it says:
“1956-57? 58
So little that you left and got so much
This ring K.S. gave me - I guess intentions were good at the time but time does change things”
And on the back:
“I really didn’t want to marry anyway.”
