Unsolved Enigmas by Sam Pilger and Leo Moynihan contains 39 “incredible events that have puzzled the greatest minds,” as the cover states. The enigmas are divided into five categories: Historical Enigmas, Mysterious Disappearances, The Supernatural, Enigmatic Creatures, and Enigmatic People. The mysteries range from occurring centuries ago to currently, and each one has many speculative answers, yet few answers are convincing enough.

I enjoyed reading this very interesting book. While some of the enigmas in this book weren’t as intriguing as others, I overall really liked this book. What was the cause of the Dancing Plague?, Why is the Screaming Mummy screaming?, Who - or what - were the Faces of Bélmez?, Why did the Leatherman walk?, and Who wrote the Circleville Letters? were just a few of my favorite mysteries discussed. When I saw this book in the sale section of Barnes & Noble, my curiosity was piqued, and it did not disappoint. I would recommend this book to anyone who, like me, has a curious spirit!
