History keeps many different unsolved mysteries. These include a curious phenomenon that happened in 1950. It happened in the USA in 1950 with a man named Rudolf Fenz.
So let's start from the beginning, although for a man it was the end of the story. In the 1950s, the police encountered an unusual phenomenon. In the middle of Time Square, a man suddenly appeared in broad daylight, dressed as if from the Victorian era. He began to approach people, but his appearance was short-lived - almost immediately he fell under the wheels of a car. The police searched his pockets and found a lot of strange things.
The police launched an investigation, but the case turned into a “wood grouse”. There were no fingerprints in the database, the missing person named Rudolf Fenz was not recorded, and no people with the last name Fenz were found. A few months later, one of the police officers discovered a man named Rudolf Fenz in the 1939 telephone directory. With difficulty, he managed to find this man's widow, and it turned out that Rudolph had left this world quite recently. However, this was not the same man who was in the police station …
After talking with the woman, the police found out that Rudolph Jr. had a father who disappeared in 1876. After comparing the facts and the report on the disappearance of Rudolf Fenz in 1876, the police were unable to issue an official verdict. But rumors that it was the same person spread very quickly. Soon the deceased was transferred to another department.
How to explain the appearance of a missing person in 1876 after 74 years? In fact, everything turned out to be much simpler - Fenz's name appeared in the fantastic book by Jack Finney, who published a conversation with a police officer about Rudolf Fenz. In the book you can find both a photo of Rudolph and his birth data. But this is where the facts end … Most researchers are sure that this story belongs to urban legends and has no real facts at its base.
