What do you consider to be the most interesting paranormal mystery that has NOT been debunked? (hoax, strange)

You have to be careful when you use the word " debunked". People throw that term around a lot but it doesn't mean what they use it for. Being debunked is just that..... a myth or belief has been studied and proven to be wrong or completely unsubstantiated.
UFOs have never been completely debunked or completely proven. Some have been, others the official explanation seem nigh on ridiculous. Bigfoot has never been proven. The Loch Ness Monster has never been proven. They've also never been proven not to exist, but the evidence is stacked against them. There are varying paranormal mysteries that are leaning towards being debunked or discredited and others... not so much.
I just have a problem with the term " debunked". Take Pizzagate or other conspiracy theories. They say they've been debunked, but have never been investigated and there are still some very troubling questions left unanswered or ignored.
How many people have a Big Foot sighting but don't happen to have a camera in hand? Plenty. More than not.
They are a highly elusive, but intelligent primate.
This is my opinion.
You are spot on but i question that yes as them being primates. the dna says unknown primate.

I'm wondering at this point if the proliferation of urban legends in North America is because of its short history; unlike Europe, Middle East, or even South America. Virtually everything is no older than 300 years, with the West Coast being just 100 years old. There are very few castles, temples, burial mounds, stone-paved plazas, etc. to be awed by; the kind of things that just seem to breathe history of past civilizations at you, and give you that borderline-spiritual feeling. So, many people long for some mystery in their daily lives. As a result, urban legends emerge, where "somebody, somewhere" was killed at some historic point in the past.
Growing up in California, I was taught California history in elementary school. One thing I do remember is that California is definitely more than 100 years old. It became a US state in 1850. The California gold rush began in 1848. The Donner-Reed party tragedy was in 1846/1847. The SF earthquake that more or less leveled the city was in 1906, and yes, there was a city there to be leveled. Let's not even go into the Spanish exploration of the state before the Mexican-American War.
I'm sure Washington and Oregon also have history that dates back before 1917.

I believe that MillennialUrbanist is speaking of man made structures. It is a different world going from the east coast where there are man made structures over 100 years old around and to the west coast where they are much more rare. Even still going to Europe where things are much older than most of the stuff on the east coast of the US is a bigger adjustment.

Santa Fe, NM is over 400 years old. St. Augustine, FL also if over 460 years old. LA was founded in 1781. Monterey, CA, was founded in 1770. Oh well, back to the drawing board, or history books, as the case may be...

I think the oldest buildings in the East are from the 1600s.
Seriously...if you guys want to continue on this mindnumbingly dull topic of Dyaltov Pass ...start a new thread. You're dragging this thread totally off topic.
Yeah, I said it. The last time this got hashed out, I was bored then. I'm bored now.
Hey, they can't all be winners...
103 posts...31 of them are this Dyaltov pass....ENOUGH!

Can you please move it to one of the Dyatlov's Pass threads ( as I've originally suggested)?
Thanks.
