The Joy of semi-Woo
I am an arch "no fun" skeptic but, probably like most skeptics, I am delighted by the mysteries of our mysterious world.
This little video (from a youtube source not entirely averse to woo) is not 100% accurate in that it overstates the mysteriousness of some things, and includes one or two that didn't exactly happen as implied (aka Bullshit. Nobody has ever teleported 1500 kilometers), but several of the "mysteries" are real and fascinating things that, even if since explained, were damn mysterious at the time.
The point being, at some level of weirdness even proper scientific explanations of things are wondrous, in their way. The Tunguska meteor/comet explosion happened in the 20th century, and would have leveled a city had it been less conveniently located. And that's cool... the idea that any city can be flattened at any moment by an exploding rock from the sky is remarkable.
The toxic lady? Mass-hysteria fainting spells happen all the time, but that in itself is interesting. And so on.
It is fun to wiki these things for a more over-all both-sided view, but they remain cool. For instance, the VELA incident... people debate to this day whether it was a satellite hardware error, an Israeli/South Africa nuke test or even a French neutron bomb test... or a "super bolt," a type of upper atmosphere mega-lightning that we know about today but was unknown at the time of the incident.
