Sure, why can't I find my keys?
Just look to any science, all have their unanswered questions...
But if you are referring to "supernatural" mysteries then it gets more hazy. Most claims of unexplained, supernatural phenomena are mistaken at best (or made up at worst).
I will give you some research for several "legendary" supernatural claims that are explaned well (but don't take my word for it, see the links):
The Bermuda Triangle - not so mysterious; all "strange" disappearances not so strange when investigated further; Actually FEWER accidents for the traffic rate than most similar sized shipping lanes (see 1st link)
Ghosts - nothing that can't be explained by nature and our imaginations or misperceptions (2nd link)
Nessie (Bigfoot and the like) - Not so likely a mystery so much as wishful thinking and imagination or misperception (3rd/4th link)
Atlantis - Most likely just another flood myth as there are many (ever hear of Noah?) Keep in mind that many places flooded, so it is plausable that some of these stories are based on actual events (but distorted through time - 5th link)
Those links should get you started, the skeptic site has its own search engine - have fun

A little over 40 years ago, on Nov. 15, 1966, Roger and Linda Scarberry became some of the first people at the Point Pleasant TNT area (now McClintic Wildlife Management Area in West Virginia) to see and have a frightening experience with the flying creature that has become known as "The Mothman." That next day, long lines of cars were out at TNT trying to see the winged creature and see it they did. During the rest of 1966 through 1967, Mothman was sighted by more than 100 adults in Mason, Lincoln, Logan, Kanawha and Nicholas counties, according to John Keel's famous book, "The Mothman Prophecies," which spawned the major motion picture starring Richard Gere. Described as larger than a man, a near 10-foot wingspan with the ability of helicopter-like take-offs and flying speeds of nearly 100 miles an hour, Mothman struck fear and curiosity across the country."He staged his appearances with clever showmanship, popping up in unexpected places in front of witnesses who had previously been skeptical," Keel writes in his book. After the Silver Bridge collapsed on Dec. 15, 1967, the sightings of the Mothman, as well as the equally creepy and extensive sightings of Men in Black and UFOs mysteriously subsided.
I find everything I've read on these sightings very fascinating.
Good luck to you!

Carly Simon - you're So ineffective - Is it rather approximately Warren Beatty? do we ever relatively be responsive to? speaking of Bowie and Jagger, have been they actually sexual companions on and rancid? BC - Trent's very own existence would desire to actual be chalked as much as a minimum of one great secret. i've got questioned approximately those Tori Amos rumors besides. :)

How, in the English channel, the Spanish Aramada could be destroyed by a hurricane (the odds of that event happening considering the rarity of hurricanes there and the timing).
