I'll be honest. I don't think this topic makes a lick of sense. Mystery is just what happens when a person doesn't know all the details of a situation. So then yes, there is mystery in our everyday world. Most everyday mysteries have average, boring answers - once all the facts are gathered.
It's the facts that seperate an everyday mystery, from the great written mysteries. In real life, facts are usually fairly easy to find. Evidence is usually plentiful, and with modern science, there are few mysteries outside the grasp of solution. But a written mystery has the advantage of being able to strategically place the evidence around, and play with reality to make a better story.

I think this only means your experience is not yet broad enough to grasp just how slippery the facts sometimes are. But maybe I'm wrong.
