Mysterious Message in a Bottle Found in Washington, USA

Some messages in bottles are straight to the point, like Janet Rockware’s message in a bottle. Others are more mysterious–sometimes they are even impossible to figure out, like the dollar bill covered in scribbles I found. Well, Gordon Guthrie wrote me today to share an exceedingly mysterious message in a bottle that he found on the beach in Westport, Washington, USA. Here it is.

Mardi Gras Message in a Bottle Mystery from 2004: Seeking Amanda Ferguson, Jinks, and Fern!

Mardi Gras Message in a Bottle Found

A couple years ago, I saw this story floating around the web for a bit, and I was intrigued. But I never heard any resolution–so here we are. The basic story is that an imgur user named “moskeytoes” found a message in a bottle in 2016 that had been sent by three people: Amanda Ferguson, someone named “Jinks” and someone named “Fern,” I think… They sent it in celebration of Mardi Gras in 2004. On moskeytoes’ imgur feed, there are a bazillion trolly messages that mean nothing to me, from people claiming to be Amanda, or to have known Amanda, yadda yadda. It is impossible to tell whether moskeytoes ever really found Amanda (and hey, moskeytoes, if you see this–hit me up! I’d love to help you solve this thang!). But this Mardi Gras message in a bottle is so intriguing to me–I just had to go digging for the back story…

I mean, check out the beads in the bottle! Continue reading →

A Bizarre 1987 Message in a Bottle Mystery Emerges From California Pond

Well, this is a weird one! A 1987 message in a bottle mystery from a small lake in California.

Enviro-crusader and “litter picker” Paul Southworth (I am a fan!) was recently out cleaning trash from Arastradero Lake in California–it’s nestled in the San Francisco Bay area. Woo hoo!
