Status: Unsolved
F04cb41f154db2f05a4a is seemingly a random dump of code, except the strange numbers tend to correspond to odd Imgur photos and they're somewhat easy to decode. Oh, and whoever is dumping all of this data keeps posting creepy comments like this:
Wait, hold on. I think I may have found out how to decipher this. What you guys are failing to realize is that all of thinks links are individual instances of lost ones those who are comming [sic]. There is no light here. The third gate is open. Mark of the flame. Silent mouths agape. Blood on the stones. Run.
No thanks!
The Mysterious Sound In Forest Grove, OR
[ranking: 9]
Status: Unsolved and headache inducing
When an ABC news affiliate from Oregon posted a story about a mysterious squeaking sound that was haunting people in an Oregon town, Reddit got on the case. And even though one poster got way too into the mystery, everyone else pretty much decided that whatever the sound is, it's going to be disappointing.
What's Happening On Mount Chiliad?
[ranking: 17]
Status: Unsolved, but also fictional
Mount Chiliad is an area within Grand Theft Auto V that features alien abductions, a mysterious mural, and a weird red blinking thing. Normally, an in-game mystery wouldn't be a big deal, but so many users have banded together to try to solve this fictional UFO case that it's worth mentioning.
Some Redditors have even discussed building a website specifically for solving the case.

Status: Unsolved, but fun!
The Mystery Button was an experiment that appeared on Reddit on April 1, 2015 and millions of people flipped out - including some at Ranker! And they didn't just flip out, they formed different groups based on ridiculous theories about what the button meant about mortality.
The Homeless Bifid Cipher
[ranking: 7]
Status: Sort of solved
In 2013, someone posted a story on Reddit about a homeless man handing them $50 and a note full of jumbled letters that the internet quickly realized was a Bifid Cipher. Redditors who went down the rabbit hole transcribed names into IP addresses, figured out UNIX codes, and tracked down retired professors, while other users, possibly with less time on their hands, called BS on the whole thread.
The Hotel ZaZa Photo
[ranking: 14]
Status: Super weird
In 2013, a Redditor posted some photos of a hotel room that one of his friends stayed in at the Hotel ZaZa in Houston. Rather than just say, "It's a theme room, chill," the internet did what it does best and speculated wildly about the contents of the room. Some commenters thought the room numbers corresponded to the Skull and Bones secret society, while others assumed the whole thing was a marketing scam.
Vice tracked down someone from the hotel who was about as helpful as the face of a secret society.
