In 1991, Romanian farmer Vasile Gorgos disappeared during a routine trip. Thirty years later, at the age of 93, he suddenly returned home, dressed in the same clothes and carrying the same train ticket. He was in good health, but had no memory of where he had been. He only said that he had been “at home” the whole time.
The disappearance and reappearance of Vasile Gorgos remain one of the strangest unsolved mysteries in recent history. When he first went missing in 1991, his family searched tirelessly, but with no trace or explanation, many assumed he had died. Decades later, the shock of his sudden return stunned both his relatives and his neighbors.
What made the event even more bizarre was the fact that he appeared in the very same clothes he wore the day he left, still holding the original train ticket, as if time itself had been suspended. Despite his advanced age, he was in excellent health and showed no signs of struggle. Yet, he could not remember where he had been all those years, only repeating that he had been “at home.”
His return sparked countless theories, ranging from memory loss and secret life stories to far more mysterious, almost supernatural explanations.
