Valentine’s Day is a peak for human emotion—love, obsession, and sometimes, total darkness. While most investigators see "crimes of passion," there are a few cases that sit in the archives of high strangeness due to their impossible details.

Before diving into the main mystery, we must remember:

  • The Ritual on Meon Hill (1945): Charles Walton was found pinned to the ground with a pitchfork, a cross carved on his chest. Despite the muddy ground, there were no footprints except his own.
  • The Vanishing Driver (2023): Nicholas Roosevelt’s car was found idling on a shoulder, heater on, a pristine bouquet of flowers on the seat. He had simply "evaporated" from the driver's seat with no tracks leading away.

But the most haunting "Valentine Anomaly" is the case of Carolyn Eaton, known for 39 years only as "Valentine Sally."

The Case of Valentine Sally: A 39-Year Ghost Story

On February 14, 1982, a police officer looking for a blown tire stumbled upon a body under a cedar tree in Williams, Arizona. She was lying face down, appearing to have been dragged by the belt loops of her jeans.

The High Strangeness Details:

  1. The Peacock Feather Stranger: Carolyn was last seen alive at 3:00 AM on February 3rd at a truck stop. She was with a man (60-65 years old) wearing a leather vest and a felt cowboy hat adorned with a massive peacock feather. This specific, almost "character-like" detail has never led to an arrest.
  2. The Aspirin and the Void: She refused food, asking only for aspirin due to a severe toothache. Forensic reports confirmed she had recently undergone a root canal. She seemed like a girl in pain, shadowed by a strange older man, before disappearing into the night.
  3. The Identity Glitch: For decades, she was buried under the name of another girl (Melody Cutlip). Even though Melody returned home alive in 1986, Carolyn continued to lie under a headstone with the wrong name until DNA finally spoke her truth in 2021.
  4. The Symbolic Discovery: She was found on Valentine’s Day, in a location where trucks pull over to cool their brakes. Yet, like the other cases, the "impossibility" of her being moved without a single witness on a busy interstate remains chilling.

The Question: Is there something about February 14th that acts as a magnet for these symbolic, "out of place" tragedies? From peacock feathers to missing footprints, these aren't just crimes—they are glitches in the human experience.

  1. This definitely reads like AI. I hate this timeline.

    Regardless, there is zero high strangeness. A woman was killed and body dumped by a killer who happened to be a truck driver in the 80s. This is tragic but not unusual.
