A picture is said to be worth a thousand words, though fact versus fable can be difficult to determine when evidence is limited and theories run wild. Stories associated with these images are not easy to explain or even at all probable. Here are 10 of the most mysterious and unexplained photos that probably have an altogether explanation.
I cannot believe my eyes, but this elephant is REALLY drawing an elephant! And you can buy one of those paintings!

Corey Wadden set out on a 24 month challenge to earn one million dollars. With the money, he aims to retire his mom and become financially free. He’s self-documenting the entire process and turning it into a documentary. This is part of that documentary. And this is his explanation of how everything happened…
“Since I was a kid growing up in Ontario, my mom’s been raving about this car that she’s always wanted: an old Saab. Last year, I asked her to point out the exact car, in passing. She pointed out a copper coloured 1973 Saab 99 EMS.
A lot of people have been asking why her dream car is the Saab ’73 99 EMS. My mom used to clean houses for a living, and one of the houses she would clean for a few years was a guy who owned a 70’s saab 99. He would throw her the keys and let her move the car all the time and she fell in love with it.
After 6 months of looking, my friend found one on eBay and I reached out to the seller. It wasn’t the same year or colour, but it was close. It was a silver 1974. After talking with him on the phone, I found out he had a lot of collectible Saabs, one of which was the exact make, model, colour and year I was looking for.
It took me another 6 months to get it, but surprising her with it made it all worthwhile.
For those who are watching and aren’t familiar with the project, I’ll explain it here:
2.5 years ago, my mom lost her job and I set off on a challenge to earn enough money to financially retire her. I haven’t been successful yet, but this is a big milestone in helping to improve her life. She hasn’t had a car in a year, and the one before that was falling apart.”
This woman got tired of all the cat calling and rude comments she was getting when walking by a construction site… So she decided to take matters into her own hands… Too funny!
