Massachusetts: The Black Flash of Provincetown - From 1939 to 1945, the people of Provincetown were terrorized by a being they called the "Black Flash." The figure first appeared to a group of children—tall, dressed in black, and growling ominously. In 1945, a group of policemen actually reported seeing the figure leap a 10-foot fence. About a month later, a man threw boiling water at the figure, sending it screaming into the night. It was never seen again. Are you familiar with this unsolved mystery?

Michigan: What exactly is the Paulding Light - In 1966, a group of teens reported having seen a mysterious light above a valley in Paulding. Scientific explanations such as swamp gas have been rejected in favor of the more popular paranormal theory that the light is from the lantern belonging to local brakeman who was killed while attempting to stop an oncoming train. Michigan Tech students believe it's a phenomenon created by headlights from a nearby road, but the mystery remains officially unsolved. Are you familiar with this unsolved mystery?

Minnesota: The frozen girl, defrosted - In 1981, Jean Hillard's car went off the road near Langby, and the next day, her frozen body was discovered, her eyes wide open, her flesh frozen so solid that doctors couldn't pierce it with a hypodermic needle.

Mississippi: Phantom Barber of Pascagoula - In 1942, Pascagoula was plagued by a series of peculiar home invasions: "The intruder took locks of hair from each of the people whose homes he broke into," according to Southern Living.

Missouri: How Robert Rayford contracted AIDS - In 1969, 16-year-old Robert Rayford was hospitalized in St. Louis for extreme, unintended weight loss and a host of infections. The doctors had no answers, and Rayford died. A few years later, HIV, the virus that causes AIDS was discovered in this country; subsequently, medical testing of Rayford's blood revealed that he had the virus. Somehow, Rayford, who'd never been out of the country and never had a transfusion, had died of AIDS nearly a decade before it was discovered. Are you familiar with this unsolved mystery?
