James Worson - A Man Who Vanished Into the Air in Front of Everyone's Eyes | An Unfinished Race
From time to time, many such incidents keep happening in this world, about which we are completely oblivious to the explanation, like a mysterious disappearance of someone and the sudden occurrence of some strange happenings. So there have been many such cases in history that have no explanation, and one of the most interesting of them is the case of James Worson. The story was related to the year 1873, when he was a popular shoemaker and lived in Leamington, Warwickshire, England. He was an honest man and a very passionate kind of person who loved to take on challenges and in another sense, his life was very simple as every normal human being.
So what happened was that on September 3, 1873, he had two friends, Barham Wise and Hamerson Burns, who lived in the same city, and they challenged him to run a race from Leamington to Coventry, which was a 20-mile route. They challenged Worson to accept the race, on considering himself a great runner or having good foot skills. In return, Worson accepted the challenge, but to not perform any cheat acts and taking shortcuts, both of his friends began following him in a horse-drawn gig, so Worson would never be out of their sight. While running Worsan often used to look back to exchange some friendly words with his two friends. Meanwhile, in the middle of the road, Worson saw a strange stone lying in front of him and suddenly he appeared to stumble, with a terrible cry, resulting in him jumping into the air and vanished before even he hit the ground.
Seeing all this happening in front of their eyes, they both did not understand what really happened and where suddenly his friend Worson disappeared. They both went back to the city soon and told everyone what they actually saw there. Initially, the police suspected that maybe they both did something wrong to his friend and making some stupid stories on that. But the police did not find any such evidence against them and anyway they had no such intention as these three were good friends for many years. Others around were also saying that their friendship is an example, they can not perform such wrong acts and perhaps what they have seen with their eyes there probably true. After this incident, James Worson was never seen again and it was not yet known where he suddenly disappeared.
After this many theories were drawn on why this actually happened and Dr. Maximilian Hern, a scientist, and author, made the theory that there are many voids in this entire universe, called the void spots of universal ether. And his theory says that at some spots these voids become active randomly for a few seconds which are capable of destroying any and all material elements that happened into them. During that time if anything touches that wormhole or void, then it gets teleported somewhere else in another world. These voids are capable of destroying all the atoms in space, which is a very surprising fact, meaning if you look at it scientifically, then very mysterious things exist in this universe.
After the occurrence of this surprising incident, a very famous author named Ambrose Gwinnett Bierce, wrote a short story on this incident, named "An Unfinished Race". But the main twist here is that after writing this book, Ambrose Bierce also mysteriously disappeared in October 1914. But how did such a popular author suddenly disappear who told the world about the disappearance of James Worson. People think that maybe he has gone to the same place where Worson disappeared, out of curiosity to know the truth and he too got trapped in the same void and being taken into another world.
But what was the actual reason for the disappearance of these two and where did they vanish suddenly, no one knows. Even after so many years, these two are nowhere to be found. Having no exact evidence or proof about their disappearance gives us the confirmation that they may have actually been sucked into that void or wormhole. But no one knows the reality, these are just theories, but one thing is clear that the universe is really amazing because this is what we know from all these events.
