The Man from Taured
In 1954, a man arrived at Tokyo airport with a passport from a country called Taured—which doesn't exist. He pointed to Andorra on a map, insisting it was Taured. While held in a hotel, he vanished from a guarded room. The story is likely urban legend, but captivates believers in parallel dimensions.
