World's Most Mysterious Buildings - Articles | Travel + Leisure
Mysteries come in many forms: ancient, modern, unsolved, and unexplained. But the world?s most mysterious buildings are a physical force to be reckoned with. They?ve become popularized on websites like abandoned-places.com, weburbanist.com, and the granddaddy of them all, atlasobscura.com, an exhaustive user-generated and editor-curated database of the unusual.?
Our list of mysteries doesn't trot out clich?d write-ups of the Bermuda Triangle and the Egyptian pyramids, nor is it promoting the usual suspects of PR-pushed ?haunted hotels.? These peculiar structures are original, lesser-known, and often arcane. Mystery after all, must be authentic.
?In an age where it sometimes seems like there's nothing left to discover, our site is for people who still believe in exploration,? says Atlas Obscura cofounder Joshua Foer, whose own favorite mysterious buildings include a murder mansion in L.A. and an art house in Centralia, W.A.
?It's easy when traveling to get stuck on very well worn paths,? reiterates cofounder Dylan Thuras. ?Often the most memorable thing you see on your travels is not the beautiful palace, but the run-down theme park left to rot on the outskirts of town. These places give you more context than the highly polished tourist routes.?
Our definition of mysterious is broad and varied. Some buildings on our list are being eaten alive by the earth, such as a sand-swallowed lighthouse in Denmark?s Jutland and a lava-buried church in the remote highlands of Mexico. Others have design elements that seem to defy logic or were mysteriously abandoned by their people centuries ago. New York?s shadowy Renwick Smallpox Hospital has more recent traces of human life?and an eerie energy that lingers. ?
We?ve got the photo proof.

FBI ? Identity Theft that Lasted Decades
For 22 years, John Doe assumed the identity of a man whose wallet was stolen from his car in 1989.
10/1/2012
When Florida Highway Patrol Trooper Richard Blanco?a member of the FBI?s Joint Terrorism Task Force (JTTF) in Jacksonville?interviewed an individual suspected of driver?s license fraud in 2011, he wasn?t initially sure if the man was the victim or the perpetrator of identity theft.
That?s because the man?now imprisoned and officially known as John Doe?had a stack of government-issued identification acquired during the 22 years he had been using a living victim?s identity. That included a passport, driver?s license, birth certificate, Social Security card, and identification allowing him unescorted access to a port and military installation.
?He was extremely convincing that he was the victim,? said Blanco, a veteran trooper with more than 30 years on the force. ?When you have 20 forms of identification and it?s in your possession,? Blanco explained, ?it?s hard to not believe you are the person you say you are.?
But John Doe was indeed an imposter, and while he was living under another man?s name, the real victim was living a nightmare. It all started in 1989 when the victim?s car was broken into and his wallet was stolen. His identity had been compromised.
John Doe began using the victim?s name, even when he went to prison for aggravated battery. As a result, Blanco said, ?if you run John Doe?s fingerprints, even today, they will come back with the victim?s name.?
When the victim, a Miami resident, applied to become a corrections officer, he had to explain why his records showed a felony conviction. He urged officials to compare his fingerprints to those of John Doe?s. When the victim applied for a passport, he was denied because the passport office claimed he already had one?the one that John Doe had applied for and received.
When Blanco was able to talk with the real victim, he heard two decades worth of frustration. The victim had filed a police report years before, but John Doe had never been caught or stopped. Blanco remembers the victim telling him, ?This guy has been living my identity. He?s gotten my license suspended and he?s had kids in my name.?
When Blanco realized that he was dealing with a massive and long-running case of identity fraud, John Doe was arrested. The JTTF opened an investigation, and John Doe was eventually indicted federally on numerous counts of aggravated identity theft and fraud.
JTTF investigators had to rule out any threat to national security, because John Doe had access to the Mayport Naval Station as well as JaxPort, the Jacksonville Port Authority. Although he was just working at those locations, Special Agent Paxton Stelly, who supervises Jacksonville?s JTTF, pointed out that John Doe had passed the background checks required to gain access there. ?He appears to have manipulated the system with ease,? Stelly said.
Last month a jury convicted John Doe?who continues to insist he is the real victim in the case?and sentenced him to 10 years in prison. Despite DNA testing and a thorough investigation, his real identity remains a mystery.
?It will continue to be a mystery unless he makes an admission to us,? Blanco said, adding, ?I don?t know what he?s going to do when he gets out of prison, because the man doesn?t have an identity.?

Comeback complete, Europe wins Ryder Cup
MEDINAH, Ill. (AP) ? Erasing some of their worst Ryder Cup memories, the Europeans wore the image of Seve Ballesteros on their sleeves and played their hearts out Sunday at Medinah to match the greatest comeback in history and head home with that precious gold trophy.
Europe got its payback for Brookline, when the Americans roared back from the same 10-6 deficit. This rally was even more remarkable, carried out before a raucous American crowd that began their chants of "USA!" some three hours before the first match got under way.
Jose Maria Olazabal squeezed his eyes and fought back tears when Kaymer holed a 6-foot par putt to beat Steve Stricker and give Europe the point it needed to keep the cup. This was the first Ryder Cup since Ballesteros, the soul of European golf in this event, died last May of a brain tumor. Olazabal wanted his team to wear navy blue, Seve's favorite color, and added a clever touch ? his iconic silhouette on the sleeves of their shirts.
"This one is for all of Europe," Olazabal said. "Seve will always be present with this team. He was a big factor for this event for the European side, and last night when we were having that meeting, I think the boys understood that believing was the most important thing. And I think they did."
Tiger Woods missed a 3?-foot par putt on the 18th hole, and then conceded a par to Francesco Molinari of about that length to halve their match. That extra half-point made it a clear-cut win for Europe, 14?-13?.
Woods and Stricker, the anchors in the lineup, didn't win a single match at Medinah.
Ian Poulter was the first to embrace Olazabal, which was only fitting.
It was Poulter who gave Europe hope Saturday evening when he made five straight birdies to turn a loss into a win and swing momentum in Europe's favor. Poulter was up to his fist-pumping, eye-bulging tricks again on the final day, winning the last two holes in his match against U.S. Open champion Webb Simpson.
And he had plenty of help. Europe's top five players in the lineup all won, including Rory McIlroy, who was lucky to be playing. McIlroy thought his match was at 12:25 p.m. ? it was listed in Eastern time, not Central ? and needed a police escort to get to the course with 10 minutes to spare. Then, he came up with key birdies to hand Keegan Bradley his first loss of the week.
The biggest match might have belonged to Justin Rose. He was on the verge of losing to Phil Mickelson when Rose holed a 12-foot par putt to halve the 16th, made a 35-foot birdie putt from the back of the 17th green to win the hole, and then closed out Mickelson with a 12-foot birdie on the last hole.
Six of the 12 matches went to the 18th hole on Sunday. The Americans won only one of them.
The Americans also rallied from a four-point deficit to win in 1999 at Brookline. This was different, though. The Americans won big in those early matches. At Medinah, so many of them could have gone either way.
It was so close, so tense, that either side could have won the Ryder Cup down to the very end.
Stricker made an 8-foot par putt on the 18th, and Kaymer faced a par putt from 6 feet to win the match. If he missed, the Americans would get a half-point, and Woods was leading 1-up over Molinari and in the middle of the 18th fairway.
Kaymer, a former No. 1 and major champion who has struggled all year, poured it in the middle and the celebration was on.
He could barely speak at this point, not so much from pure emotion but having to scream over the crowd behind him. Players were hugging and crying, and the small European contingent that had been drowned out all week was serenading themselves with what has become the theme song of the Ryder Cup.
"Ole, ole, ole, ole," they sang merrily, even as the teams prepared for the closing ceremony.
Europe now has won seven of the last nine Ryder Cups, and even more remarkable about this comeback is that they did it on the road.
Davis Love III became the first U.S. captain to sit every player at least once before Sunday, wanting them to be fresh for the decisive day. Instead, the Americans faltered at the end ? especially Jim Furyk and Stricker, two of his captain's picks.
"The plan worked the first two days," he said. "It just didn't work today."
The only U.S. points came from Dustin Johnson, who went 3-0 in this Ryder Cup, Zach Johnson and unheralded Jason Dufner.
"We're all kind of stunned," Love said. "We know what it feels like now from the '99 Ryder Cup. It's a little bit shocking. We were playing so well, we figured it didn't matter how we sent them out there. We got a couple of matches flipped there in the middle that cost us."
Love thought all along the Ryder Cup would be decided in the ninth match by Dufner. It was most appropriate that Europe won the cup thanks to Kaymer.
Kaymer gave German golf some redemption from Kiawah Island in 1991, when countryman Bernhard Langer missed a par putt from about the same length that allowed the Americans to win.
"It's a feeling I never had before," Kaymer said. "On Friday, I sat down with Bernhard and talked a little bit about the Ryder Cup because my attitude was not the right one. But now I know how important the Ryder Cup is."
