“Unearthed Secrets: The Bizarre Events of the 1970s That Shaped a Generation!”
Hoffa’s disappearance set off a plethora of conspiracy theories and inquiries, but his fate is still unknown. It’s still one of the most enduring mysteries in American history.
11. The Earth Hummed
We call her mother nature, and maybe she can talk after all. In the 1970s, people in Bristol, England, reported hearing an odd occurrence called the “Taos Hum.” The Taos Hum was a low-frequency buzzing or humming noise that some people reported to be audible and seemed to come from the earth.
A tiny portion of the population heart and felt it; its source is still unclear despite years of examination by scientists and researchers. This humming phenomenon has occurred elsewhere in the world, and researchers have yet to pinpoint the cause. Theories include electromagnetic fields and seismic activity.
12. The Explosion of Pintos
Some fender benders are to be expected any time you’re on the road, but rear-ending a Ford Pinto in the 70s was an explosive affair. The cars would burst into flames on impact, and 27 lives were lost to this phenomenon.
In 1978, Ford was forced to recall all Pinto vehicles manufactured between 1971 and 1976 to modify the fuel tank, which was the main culprit.
13. The Toxic Lady

Gloria Ramirez was admitted to a hospital in Riverside, California, exhibiting mysterious symptoms and emitting a foul odor. Incidentally, medical personnel who treated her began experiencing symptoms themselves.
