Harold Holt Disappearance
Level 1 – Surface Web
Holt loved the ocean, particularly spearfishing, and had holiday homes at Portsea, Victoria, and Bingil Bay, Queensland.[110] On 17 December 1967, while Holt was spending the weekend at Portsea, he and four companions decided to drive to Point Nepean to watch sailor Alec Rose pass through The Rip on his solo circumnavigation attempt. On their way back to Portsea, Holt convinced the group to stop at remote Cheviot Beach for a swim before lunch – he had spearfished there on many previous occasions, and claimed to “know this beach like the back of my hand”. Because of the rough conditions, only one other person, Alan Stewart, joined Holt in the water. Stewart kept close to shore, but Holt swam out into deeper water and was seemingly caught up in a rip, eventually disappearing from view. One of the witnesses, Marjorie Gillespie, described it as “like a leaf being taken out […] so quick and final”.

Dare Stones
Level 0 – Common Web
MYSTERY
The famous – and, to some, infamous – Dare Stones have been a part of Brenau University lore since the late 1930s. It is a collection of a large number of engraved rocks that emerged at the height of the Great Depression purporting to solve the mystery of The Lost Colony of Roanoke, a group of settlers on an island off the coast of North Carolina that disappeared without a trace in the late 16th century. Although most of the stones are generally regarded as artifacts of artifice, the first remains of great interest to historians and archaeologists. It appears to be a message from one of the colonists, Eleanor White Dare, to her father, John White, the colony’s governor, who returned to America from a three-year trip to England to find his daughter, son-in-law and granddaughter missing along with all the others he had left at Roanoke.

The ‘Little Red Man’ Of Paris
Level 3 – Deep Web
If you google Little Red Man (petit homme rouge), you will find many sites about this spirit who allegedly first spoke to Napoleon Bonaparte in 1798 in Egypt and stayed with him as a confidante during his days of greatness until the eve of his ill-fated Russian campaign of 1812, where he abandoned Napoleon after advising him against such a foolhardy endeavor.
