The possibility to let your characters witness or even participate in events that actually happened, is probably one of the most appealing aspects of Historical Fiction, Flashbacks, Time Travel stories and the like. But sometimes it can be quite hard to shoehorn your characters in, if you don't want to sacrifice too much of historical accuracy. Especially if your character doesn't quite fit into the historical setting, because he is a Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot.
The solution: Take a famous historical event that is shrouded in mystery, an event of which not many details are publicly known. Then fill the gap of historical records with whatever you want, this way "revealing" what actually happened. This adds the bonus that everyone likes a good mystery (and its eventual solution).
Depending on the tone and genre of your work, your "explanation" can range from mundane, over humorous, to absolutely fantastic.
The Been There, Shaped History person likes to cause these events. Of course Historical Domain Characters as well as fictional Public Domain Characters may be involved too. Perhaps they did even use a Public Domain Artifact.
Anyway, in the end you can proudly claim that your story is Very Loosely Based on a True Story.
Closely related to Historical In-Joke. Can also overlap with Beethoven Was an Alien Spy, when the focus lies on specific historical individuals. Often happens at, and tightly involves, a Landmark of Lore through Alternate Landmark History. Also, at least one of this events is a must-have for any Conspiracy Kitchen Sink story worth its salt.
Note that sometimes mysteries get solved, or even debunked as not having been that mysterious in the first place. In this case the work either was written in a time before the solution/debunking, or the writer didn't get the memo, or they're just using Artistic License. For obvious reasons, solutions that are perceived as "boring" are the most likely to be disregarded by writers.

Dirty Harry was heavily inspired by the Zodiac Killer; its murderer is named Scorpio (and is never explicitly identified), and shares the real-life Zodiac's penchant for mailing newspapers and even copies some of his threats (eg., hijacking a school bus). Of course, the movie has a happier ending than real life.

In Kevin & Kell (which takes place in a Funny Animal parallel dimension to the human world), D.B. Cooper is the true identity of Douglas Squirrel, Dorothy's now husband. While for years he evaded being connected to the hijacking due to losing the money as he escaped (which was found by LD and used to create Herd Thinners), he was eventually discovered by a journalist. Douglas promptly sent his manuscript to every publisher in New York. By the time they caught him, the statute of limitations passed for most of the charges, so he only served a short time in prison (with Dorothy's ex-husband as a cellmate, to boot!).

Cinema Purgatorio #11 is a Musical Episode that goes over the media circus around Short's death and the badly, conspicuously mishandled LAPD investigation. The theory is put forth that Short was pregnant with the child of LA Times publisher Norman Chandler, who had her killed via his mob associate Benny "Bugsy" Siegel. Discussed at length is the idea that Siegel made such an example out of her as a message to west Los Angeles rival Jack Dragna; the letter D was carved into her body, which was found just 300 yards from Dragna's home.

In one Dilbert comic, Dogbert claims to have Cooper's remains. "He learned that you should never get your parachutes from the same people you're robbing."note The FBI actually did consider sabotaging the parachutes, but Cooper seemed to have anticipated this as it's believed he specified four parachutes (two back and two front) in the ransom to make them think he planned to take a hostage, which made them backpedal over the risk. Indeed, Cooper would only use two of them (a back and front set) and leave the other set in the plane, with it believed he used the front reserve parachute to secure the money when he made the jump.

The Zodiac Killer appears twice in American Horror Story. First in American Horror Story: Hotel where the ghost of the killer attends Devil's Night with the ghosts of several other infamous serial killers. Then in American Horror Story: Cult the murders are revealed as the work of Valerie Solanas and her radical feminist cult SCUM. Strangely the two contradict despite the stories supposedly taking place in a shared universe.

Injustice 2 posits that it was due to the Flash traveling back in time to smash an opponent's face into the Sphinx's nose, shattering it. Granted, he also goes back in time to slap a tyrannosaurus across the face with his opponent, so take the possibility with a considerable volume of salt.

The X-Files: Fight the Future uses the bees as an integral part of the Government Conspiracy's Evil Plan (to spread the deadly alien virus), about a decade before the CCD was first reported. However, the feral bee population across the world has been rapidly diminishing since 1972... and incidentally, said Government Conspiracy was founded in 1973.

In Book 4 of Dreamfall Chapters, the Voynich alphabet makes an appearance in notes and books that belong to one of the secondary characters. Said character lives in the world of magic parallel to "our" world, world of science, so the implication may be that the manuscript somehow got across the divide.

Codex Seraphinianus, created by Luigi Serafini in the 1970s, was inspired by the Voynich manuscript. Written in an indecipherable script, it appears to be an encyclopedia of an alien world. It was created in order to inspire in its readers the feeling of impenetrable mystery.

In Red River (1995), the bust of Nefertiti only has one eye because the eye was made out of a piece of jewelry that had sentimental value to Nefertiti, and there was only enough material for one eye.

My Choices: Twisted Tales Through Time: In-Universe, the disappearance of Blue Star becomes one by the time of the present period — since the Princesses kept her fall into darkness and transformation into Darklight Star tightly secret, everyone else just knows that she vanished on day and was never seen again. As a result, although no-one ever figured out the how or why of it all, a variety of theories have sprung up among both scholars and amateur historians. Twilight's theory is that she got Trapped in the Past trying to warn the Princesses about Darklight Star.

During Ted Cruz's unsuccessful 2016 presidential campaign, internet users opposed to the Texas senator jokingly accused him of being the Zodiac Killer, based on noted physical similarities between Cruz and a police sketch of the killer; the joke became popular enough to be referenced on the Daily Show and for Larry Wilmore to openly take part in it during the 2016 White House Correspondents' Dinner. Additionally, Donald Trump suggested (in all apparent seriousness) that Cruz' father might have been involved in the Kennedy assassination. Note Regardless of your opinions on Ted Cruz, note that he is physically unable to be the Zodiac Killer. The killings occurred during the 1960s and early 1970s; Cruz was born in 1970.

In "The Lost Hour", Janet Donner tells Marshall that there was a nice man named Mr. Hoffa in the parallel dimension for a while but that he eventually left.
In "Tornado Days", Howard Raymer believes that the tornado Old Bob is responsible for the disappearance of Amelia Earhart. Marshall recalls that a Lockheed airliner was found in Deadwood Park and suspects that it may be her plane. Simon wonders whether the old lady whom they always see jogging around town is secretly Earhart.

Ambrose Bierce is encountered in a strange limbo-space in between worlds, complaining to an equally bemused passer-by that I only walked around the bloody horses! The shape of the Pentagon is explained as a geometric prison for an otherworldly entity which lives on the energies of death and destruction. Pyramids are meant to be flying machines based on principles of paracosmic science, but the secret of levitating them has been lost since the fall of Atlantis. And so on.

Doctor Who is intimately familiar with this trope. For example, the disappearance of Agatha Christie is given a supernatural explanation in "The Unicorn and the Wasp".

Asterix and Cleopatra has Obelix accidentally de-nosing The Sphinx while sightseeing. (In the movies, he goes on to deprive the Venus de Milo of her arms in The Twelve Tasks of Asterix and knock a great big hole in the Colosseum in Asterix Versus Caesar — the latter a particularly impressive feat considering that the Colosseum wasn't built until over a century after Caesar's reign.)

In the novel The Astounding, the Amazing and the Unknown by Paul Malmont, Pulp Magazine sci-fi writers are tasked by the US Government in World War II with creating Death Rays and other such miracle weapons. Robert A. Heinlein creates the experiment as an all-done-with-mirrors (and a model) illusion in order to get an Obstructive Bureaucrat off his back. Meanwhile the crew of the real Eldridge gets drunk, leading the bureaucrat to assume from their vomiting and odd behaviour on their return that the experiment has driven them mad. This gives Heinlein's team the excuse to say that further tests will be aborted until they've fixed the problem.

The 4400: In "The Marked", Curtis Peck, who disappeared in 2001, started making films about famous unsolved mysteries and conspiracy theories after he returned. Many of his fans, including Marco and the other NTAC nerds P.J. and Brady, believe that making these films is his ability and that everything that happens in them is true. It turns out that they are correct. His ability manifests itself through his writing and he does not know the whole story until he has finished writing each script. Curtis' films include I Dismembered Jimmy Hoffa, which states that the remains of the former leader of the Teamsters' Union are buried in the Florida Everglades, and Dead. Completely Dead., which asserts that John F. Kennedy was assassinated by a Marine named Robert Shafto. Records indicate that Shafto was in Dallas on November 22, 1963. He also made films about Jack the Ripper and The Lost Colony of Roanoke, a period drama filmed in his backyard.

The Great Fire of London is a plot point in The Baroque Cycle by Neal Stephenson. While it isn't exactly presented as something mysterious, one character (the father of Daniel Waterhouse) firmly believes that this is the Apocalypse. He dies in the fire and thus never learns his error.

Used as part of the backstory in Best F(r)iends (2017), where Harvey (played by Tommy Wiseau) is linked to the murder. We gradually learn that he was romantically involved with her before her death, the trauma of which drove him insane, but that he is not the killer. He may have had sex with her dead body though.
