Tamám Shud: The Mysterious Somerton Man
Listen now
Description
An unidentified, well dressed man was found dead on an Australian beach in November 1948. He lay on the sand as if sleeping, with no immediate signs of struggle or foul play. Stitched into a secret pocket in his trousers was a scrap of paper torn from a book of 18th century poetry, with a confusing jumble of letters and numbers scribbled alongside. Was it a cypher for a secret code? Could the man have been a spy? Or was he merely an unfortunate, unclaimed soul? The mystery would remain for over 70 years… This Week's Sponsors: IQ Bar- To get your twenty percent off, just text STRANGE to 64000.
