An internet mystery is an unsolved online phenomenon, event, or puzzle that captures public attention and often lacks a clear explanation or resolution, encouraging collective investigation.
Notable examples include Cicada 3301, the disappearance of Elisa Lam (hotel footage), 'The Backrooms' creepypasta, and various unsolved online puzzles or ARGs.
They thrive on human curiosity, the collaborative nature of online investigation, and the desire to solve complex puzzles, often amplified by viral sharing and discussion.
While many are genuine, puzzling occurrences, a significant number are hoaxes, elaborate fiction, or performance art designed to create a sense of mystery online. Critical analysis is key.
