Not exactly the same kind of thing as Bigfoot but Eternal Recurrence (the idea that the history of the universe repeats itself exactly, forever) has always felt especially spooky and emotionally defeating to me.
The fact that our current understanding of the universe only works if there is about 6-7 times more matter than we can see. So our current science model is either very incomplete or something happened to it all.
Only recently Chinese scientists managed to record Ball Lightning, proving it's real and really spooky. That's cool!
Yes, it's an unstable tiny cloud of superheated silicon or something like that, created when lightning hits the right kind of ground the right kind of way. It can explode and/or burn through walls, and has absolutely killed people. Do not eat.
In regards to point number two, what's that phrase for the hypothetical threshold of next-stage advanced life that may have never been broken?
Edit: Found it, Great Filter/Fermi Paradox. Maybe there's no aliens out there because there's a giant space Shai-Hulud taking big chomps out of observable reality; and he's on his way here to party. That would be pretty neat.

This is how you don't get super powers
