Bizarre Mysteries That Remain Unsolved to This Day

Did Babe Ruth Call His Shot?

Don't tell any Yankee fans, here's no evidence that Babe Ruth called his shot during Game 3 of the 1932 World Series against the Chicago Cubs. Legend has it that the Great Bambino went up to bat, pointed at the bleachers, and then hit the ball right where he said it would go. The footage shows that he does point—but is it only toward center field?

The Grave(s) of Billy the Kid

Billy the Kid sure has died a number of times. The gunslinger's first grave is in New Mexico, where he was allegedly gunned down in 1881. Another grave is in the town of Hico, Texas, where a man who claimed to be Billy the Kid died in his 90s. Another man, John Miller, who insisted that he was the real Billy the Kid, is buried in Arizona.
