A Grisly Discovery
The disappearance of a Yorkshire miner left police baffled, The 56-year-old miner worked at Lofthouse Colliery – who was known to many as ‘Ziggy’ – had set off on June 6 on a walk to the local shops to do some shopping. Five days after he disappeared, his body was discovered in a remote location – a coal yard more than 20 miles from his place of residence. Trevor Parker, the son of the coal yard’s owner, stumbled upon the body at around 3:45 pm while opening the compound gates. Sensing something was terribly wrong, Parker swiftly alerted the authorities.
The Investigation Begins
Parker’s statement to the police shed light on a crucial detail: when he checked the yard earlier that day at approximately 11 am, Adamski’s body was not present. While paramedics initially concluded that Adamski likely died of a heart attack, further scrutiny cast a shadow of suspicion over the circumstances of his death.
The Unexplained Burns
Authorities noted the presence of oval shaped second-degree burns on Adamski’s neck and shoulders. What made these burns particularly perplexing was the strange gel-like substance that coated them, the substance could not be identified by scientists and remains unidentified.
Clothing in Disarray and Missing Belongings
Adamski’s body presented a disturbing image, he was wearing a suit but his clothing was in a state of utter disarray as if someone had haphazardly redressed him. His trousers were inside-out, and his coat buttoned incorrectly. Additionally, the shirt Adamski was known to be wearing when he disappeared, along with personal belongings like his wallet and watch, were nowhere to be found. Did aliens strip him down for some kinda intergalactic medical exam?
A Body in Pristine Condition

The Absence of Footprints
Further complicating matters, the coal pile where Adamski’s body was found and the area surrounding it showed no sign of footprints. This baffling detail led investigators to question whether he had been deliberately placed from above, rather than arriving on foot.
The Face of Terror

The Mystery Remains

Eyewitnesses were talking about strange lights in the sky around the time Ziggy went missing. The case remains an open mystery, a chilling reminder that sometimes the truth lies concealed beneath layers of unanswered questions.
