Is there ever something that happened to a family member that you will ever know? Has anyone gone missing under mysterious circumstances? Is the place next to your great grandmother’s friend’s dad’s house totally haunted?
My mom’s oldest sister left home when they were young. Like, very young. We didn’t get to meet her until after Grandpa died. All that we (the next generation) have learned is that she is from a previous marriage that also is not to be spoken of. This is not a prideful, secretive, traditional, or whatever type of family like this may sound. Very open and progressive. Except for this one thing. Just she, my mom, the other sisters will absolutely shut you down if you ask any questions.
I’m guessing someone got molested.
That’s our thought. They would have to only be keeping a secret to respect her wishes, not to hide family scandal or something.
Someone stole a 20 dollar out of a hollowed out crucifix my grandmother had and they found the money ripped in half in the driveway and I got blamed for it when I didn’t do it.
Someone ordered payperview porn on the TV and I got blamed for it even though I didn’t know the fucking code and I wasnt home on the day and time it was bought. I’m still salty as fuck over this one.
Something about Al Capone. Originally I heard we were related, but I don’t think that’s true, but my great grandma did chase him out of her house with her cane at one point.
A personal mystery for me is why I changed? As a young kid/toddler the depictions of me and stories are just absurdly wildly different of a personality. Very similar to the personality my sibling has. At some point around the age of 5 or 6 I just did a 180°. I was a fearless, extroverted, charismatic toddler and suddenly became an introverted, quiet, bookreading shut in.
I wasn’t sad or depressed or anything and I still did do stuff and had fun, but it was not in line with before
There was apparently a family fortune in Britain that was swindled by a fancy Halifax lawyer, who was one of the fathers of Canadian confederation. I have no other details.
Mine’s a bit dark. Dad’s family is from China. They had 7 boys including him. It’s a “mystery” what happened to the girl(s) but not really… It’s not spoken about and I don’t think anyone has the balls to ask anyway.
When my father was a child, he, his siblings, and his parents were traveling in northern Mexico at night and had missing time and vague memories of a weird light and being carried by lots of little hands.

I’ve been told that my grandpa’s brother’s (granduncle?) face was on the $20 bill of a cult. He was definitely very much in the cult and it does seem they had their own currency on their creepy property, but the details I’ve been able to find are pretty scarce and I’ve never seen the supposed currency.
granduncle?
Great-uncle is the term you’re looking for.
I suppose it would dox you to much to give us the name of the cult?
This is the place:
Am I gay?
Won’t know until you try it out.
Yes.
A picture of my grandfather standing next to a woman, taken before he met my grandmother, and she is holding a baby. It didn’t surface until after grandpa’s funeral. It was taken 500 miles away from where my family lives. I live in that other city now. I wonder if I’ve met my half aunt or uncle randomly in passing?
My dad doesn’t like to talk about most of his life prior to having me. He’s very protective of his image and reputation, and I really have no idea who he is as a person, only as the father that raised me.
Well there’s only three possibilities… Secret agent, mafia, or gay porn star.
My dad was two of those things. Well, only two as far as I know.
To be fair there’s not a lot of profit incentive in the secret service for the Gay Porn Mafia.
He was a gay porn star. Gay Mafia & the gay secret agent were his two super hit plots.
Some vague stories around my grandfather before they migrated that sound like a godfather film but which no one knitted anything about.

Oops. lol. I’ll leave the typo now!
Why my moron of a father married at all. Why he picked my mother. Why he married so fast after meeting her. Why he had kids.
Everything I’ve ever known of him says he should never have done any of those things.
Morons do not have the forethought to comprehend consequences.
My dad committed suicide when I was 5. I’ll never know why he did it.
If he had depression there might not have been a reason. It’s not uncommon for men to spend their lives silently fighting with depression, and when I was 5 a man going to a therapist would have been seen as a weakness and weird.
Remember that depression is a disease, looking for a reason makes as much sense as asking why someone had their heart fail. I recently watched “In Limbo” with my wife and I think they handled it very well (TW: Suicide). When the depression grabs you you’re not able to think clearly or reason your way out of it.
One of my uncles died from a gunshot. I say it like that because most of my family doesn’t believe he committed suicide but was killed by his girlfriend. I was really young when it happened and I know almost no details. Seems rude to ask about it now and I don’t want to retraumatize anyone but I am quite curious of the circumstances and if it really was suspicious or if his family just didn’t want to accept that he was depressed and hid it away.
