There's something about a bone chilling mystery that never ceases to captivate and entertain. Perhaps it's the challenge of trying to predict what will happen next or the thrill of a good mystery that leaves you in suspense and on the edge of your seat. No matter the reason, it's hard to resist the temptation to let your imagination run wild.
Recently I read a story about a treasure discovered in the nineteenth century in central London during a period in which darkness enveloped the city and theft was rampant. A group of laborers were demolishing an old, decrepit apartment when they came upon jewels only a few feet beneath ground. The laborers fiercely sifted through layers of mud and clay and brought the muddied treasure to a local jeweler. The jeweler immediately recognized that the gems were of exceptional quality and offered the laborers a princely sum for the 500 jewel pieces. Realizing the significant risk associated with possessing such a treasure, the jeweler secretly negotiated to give the jewels to the London Museum, where they are still on display today.
