Mysterious murders at the Hinterkaifeck farm

In 1922, the mysterious murder of six people committed in the small village of Hinterkaifeck shocked the whole of Germany. And not only because the murders were committed with horrific cruelty.

All the circumstances surrounding this crime were very strange, even mystical, and to this day it remains unsolved.

More than 100 people were questioned during the investigation, but no one was ever arrested. Not a single motive that could somehow explain what happened was identified either.

The maid who worked in the house ran away six months ago, claiming that there were ghosts there. The new girl arrived just a few hours before the murder.

Apparently, the intruder had been on the farm for at least several days - someone was feeding the cows and eating in the kitchen. In addition, neighbors saw smoke coming from the chimney over the weekend. The photo shows the body of one of the dead, found in a barn.

Phoenix Lights

The so-called “Phoenix Lights” are several flying objects that were observed by more than 1,000 people on the night of Thursday, March 13, 1997: in the skies over the states of Arizona and Nevada in the United States and over the state of Sonora in Mexico.

Actually, two strange events happened that night: a triangular formation of luminous objects that moved across the sky, and several motionless lights hovering over the city of Phoenix. However, the latest US Air Force recognized the lights from the A-10 Warthog aircraft - it turned out that at that time military exercises were taking place in southwest Arizona.

Astronaut from Solway Firth

In 1964, the family of Briton Jim Templeton was walking near the Solway Firth. The head of the family decided to take a Kodak photograph of his five-year-old daughter. The Templetons assured that there was no one else in these swampy places except them. And when the photographs were developed, one of them revealed a strange figure peeking out from behind the girl’s back. The analysis showed that the photograph had not been subject to any changes.

Falling body

The Cooper family just moved into their new home in Texas. In honor of the housewarming, a festive table was set, and at the same time they decided to take several family photos. And when the photographs were developed, a strange figure was revealed on them - it seemed that someone’s body was either hanging or falling from the ceiling. Of course, the Coopers didn’t see anything like this during filming.

Too many hands

Four guys were fooling around, taking pictures in the yard. When the film was developed, it turned out that out of nowhere one extra hand appeared on it (peeking out from behind the back of a guy in a black T-shirt).

"Battle of Los Angeles"

This photograph was published in the Los Angeles Times on February 26, 1942. To this day, conspiracy theorists and ufologists refer to it as evidence of extraterrestrial civilizations visiting Earth. They claim that the photo clearly shows that the beams of the searchlights are falling on the alien flying ship. However, as it turned out, the photo for publication was heavily retouched - this is a standard procedure that almost all published black and white photographs were subjected to for greater effect.

The incident itself, captured in the photo, was called a “misunderstanding” by authorities. The Americans had just survived the Japanese attack, and in general the tension was incredible. Therefore, the military got excited and opened fire on the object, which, most likely, was a harmless weather balloon.

Lights of Hessdalen

In 1907, a group of teachers, students and scientists set up a scientific camp in Norway to study a mysterious phenomenon called the Hessdalen Lights.

Björn Hauge took this photo one clear night using a shutter speed of 30 seconds. Spectral analysis showed that the object should consist of silicon, iron and scandium. This is the most informative, but far from the only photo of the “Lights of Hessdalen”. Scientists are still scratching their heads as to what it could be.

Time Traveler

This photo was taken in 1941 during the opening ceremony of the South Forks Bridge. The public's attention was attracted by a young man whom many considered a "time traveler" - due to his modern hairstyle, zip-up sweater, printed T-shirt, fashionable glasses and point-and-shoot camera. The whole outfit is clearly not from the 40s. On the left, highlighted in red is a camera that was actually in use at that time.

9/11 attack - South Tower woman

In these two photographs, a woman can be seen standing on the edge of the hole left in the South Tower after a plane crashed into the building. Her name is Edna Clinton and, not surprisingly, she ended up on the list of survivors. How she managed this is beyond comprehension, considering everything that happened in that part of the building.

Skunk monkey

In 2000, a woman who wished to remain anonymous took two photographs of a mysterious creature and sent it to the Sarasota County (Florida) Sheriff. The photographs were accompanied by a letter in which the woman claimed that she had photographed a strange creature in the backyard of her house. The creature came to her house three nights in a row and stole the apples left on the terrace.

UFO in the painting “Madonna with Saint Giovannino”

The painting “Madonna with Saint Giovannino” belongs to the brush of Domenico Ghirlandai (1449-1494) and is currently in the collection of Palazzo Vecchio, Florence. A mysterious flying object and a man watching it are clearly visible above Mary's right shoulder.

Incident at Lake Falcon

Another meeting with an alleged extraterrestrial civilization occurred at Lake Falcon on May 20, 1967.

A certain Stefan Michalak was relaxing in these places and at some point noticed two descending cigar-shaped objects, one of which landed very close. Michalak claims he saw the door open and heard voices coming from inside.

He tried to speak to the aliens in English, but there was no response. Then he tried to get closer, but came across “invisible glass”, which apparently served as protection for the object.

Suddenly, Michalak was surrounded by a cloud of air so hot that his clothes caught fire. The man received serious burns.

Bonus:

This story happened on the evening of February 11, 1988 in the city of Vsevolozhsk. There was a light knock on the window of the house where a woman who was fond of spiritualism lived with her teenage daughter. Looking out, the woman saw no one. I went out onto the porch - no one. And there were no footprints in the snow under the window either.

The woman was surprised, but didn’t think much of it. And half an hour later there was a bang and part of the glass in the window where the invisible guest was knocking collapsed, forming an almost perfectly round hole.

The next day, at the woman’s request, her Leningrad acquaintance, candidate of technical sciences S.P. Kuzionov, arrived. He examined everything carefully and took several photographs.

When the photograph was developed, the face of a woman appeared on it, peering into the lens. This face seemed unfamiliar to both the housewife and Kuzionov himself.

Quite recently I wrote a story for the site and clarified that this is the only mysterious story that happened to me. But gradually more and more new cases emerged in my memory, which happened, if not to me, then to the people next to me, who, of course, can be completely disbelieved. But if you don’t believe everyone who is next to you, then you don’t have to believe...

This was in the early 50s. My grandmother's brother, an electrician by training, returned from the war and was in great demand - there weren't enough people, the country was being rebuilt from ruins. So, having settled in one village, he actually worked for three - fortunately, the settlements were close to each other, he mostly had to walk... In a hurry, walking from one village to another, he often...

I heard this story on the train from my neighbor in the compartment. The events are absolutely real. Well, at least that's what she told me. It took five hours to drive. In the compartment with me was a young girl with a little girl of five years old and a woman of about sixty. The girl was so restless, she constantly ran around the train, made noise, and the young mother chased after her and...

This strange story happened in the summer of 2005. At that time, I finished my first year at the Kyiv Polytechnic University and came home to my parents for the summer holidays to relax and help with renovations in the house. The town in the Chernihiv region where I was born is very small, the population is no more than 3 thousand, there are no high-rise buildings or wide avenues in it - in general, it looks ordinary...

This story happened before my eyes over several years with a person whom I could then call a friend. Although we rarely saw each other and almost never communicated on the Internet. It’s hard to communicate with a person who is diligently avoided by simple human happiness - troubles at work, depression, constant lack of money, lack of relationships with the opposite sex, life with a disgusted mother and brother, whom even...

This story is not mine, I don’t even remember exactly whose. Either I read it somewhere, or someone told me... A woman lived alone, in a communal apartment, lonely. She was already many years old, and her life was hard. She buried her husband and daughter and was left alone in that apartment. And only her old neighbors and girlfriends, with whom she sometimes got together over a cup of tea, brightened up her loneliness. Is it true, ...

One young couple was looking for an apartment. The main thing is that they said that it should be inexpensive, but also in good condition. They finally found the long-awaited apartment: it was inexpensive, and the owner was a nice little granny. But finally the grandmother said: “Be quiet... the walls are alive, the walls hear everything”... The guys were surprised and with a smile on their faces asked: “Why are you selling the apartment so cheap? This is for you...

I don't like children. These little whining human larvae. I think many people treat them with a mixture of disgust and indifference, like I do. This feeling is aggravated by the fact that literally under the windows of my house there is an old kindergarten, filled all year round with hundreds of screaming, raging little kids. Every single day you have to walk through their pen. Summer this year was very hot for our region and...

This story happened to me 2 years ago, but when I remember it it becomes very creepy. Now I want to tell it to you. I bought a new apartment because the previous apartment didn’t suit me very much. I had already arranged everything, but I was confused by one closet that stood in the bedroom and occupied most of the room. I asked the former owners to remove it, but they said...

This happened in St. Petersburg, at the Novodevichy cemetery in 2003. At that time, our hobbies included the occult and the so-called black rituals. We had already summoned the spirits and I was sure that I was ready for anything. Unfortunately, the phenomena that happened that night forced me to reconsider my views on life, now I will try to retell everything that I remember. Linda met me on Moskovsky Prospekt. I...

Our family had a tradition: every summer we went to the Vologda region to relax with our relatives. And the edges there are swampy, the forests are impenetrable - in general, a gloomy area. The relatives lived in a village on the edge of the forest (in fact, it was a holiday village). I was 7 years old at that time. We arrived in the afternoon, it was cloudy and raining. While I was laying out my things, the adults were already lighting up the grill under...

Boris Andreevich stretched lazily and had just decided to take a sip of freshly brewed coffee when suddenly the phone rang. But that didn't stop him from taking a sip of his drink and only then answering the call.
“The district police officer is listening,” Boris Andreevich said in a serious voice.
“Boris Arkadyevich,” said a puzzled female voice.
“I’m Andreevich,” the district police officer corrected his interlocutor.
- Sorry, Boris Andreevich. – It’s Lyubov Nikolaevna who’s bothering you. When will you respond to my call? – the woman asked curiously.

When you hear from other experts: they say that men and women according to their character are divided into such and such categories, a question immediately arises for such “experts” - are you guys locals yourself? Or did you fall behind the alien train?..

I won’t say anything about men yet, but as for the sex that is beautiful in almost all respects, there is no structuring here. It would probably be more correct to consider that there are as many categories of women as there are. Although, as an exception, I think it’s still possible to distinguish between two main groups of lovely ladies.

Several years ago, in one of the hunting grounds in the Perm region, I heard an unusual story. About a strange mushroom picker. Impressed by what he heard, he even wrote a short poem about this, “The Lost Mushroom Picker.” Comical. Changing the essence of the story a little. I didn’t believe in its veracity then. You never know what people will come up with...

Although the game manager who told about the strange incident did not look like a comedian at all. In all seriousness, he said that for the second year in the local forests, mushroom pickers and hunters met a very strange character.

Back in school, the boys and I noticed a strange trend - each of us had a particularly unlucky part of the body. Which received more than other organs and limbs. For some it turned out to be a hand, for others a leg, for others a completely bad head. And some were unlucky in general on the right or, conversely, the left side of the body. Like me, for example.
Over the years, for the majority, the situation probably evens out, and the “bumps” begin to fall evenly over the entire body. And the number of injuries noticeably decreases with age and the advent of intelligence. But not everyone, unfortunately...

In this section we have collected true mystical stories sent by our readers and corrected by moderators before publication. This is the most popular section on the site, because... reading stories about mysticism based on real events is liked even by those people who doubt the existence of otherworldly forces and consider stories about everything strange and incomprehensible to be simply coincidences.

If you also have something to tell about this topic, you can absolutely free.

My class teacher once told such a mystical story.

The New Year holidays are over, it's time to go to school, and the first lesson is literature. We read stories on New Year and Christmas themes, and Anna Ivanovna invited us to tell various stories related to miracles. Gradually, the stories began to move away from the chosen topic, some told about a little drum, others about a mystically missing thing. When the classmates' stories ran out, we asked the teacher herself to tell an interesting story. This is what she told us.

When I was young and in my third year of university, my classmates and I often went hiking. This time was no exception. We were planning to go boating on the river next weekend. There was a large group of people, about 15 people, and we had fun packing our things and making plans. My mother knew all the guys and was favorable towards our trips. But, literally two days before departure, my mother urgently asked me not to go, justifying this. Of course, I rebelled, we had been discussing this trip for a month, I was so happy and looking forward to it, and then there was some kind of premonition. I am a Komsomol member, an atheist, and my mother speaks nonsense that is not due to a Soviet citizen. She oohed and aahed and waved her hand.

My uncle lived in the village when he was a child. His mother, father and grandfather lived with him. It seems that at that time his brother and sister were not born yet. They lived modestly and not easily, like most people living in villages at that time. The house they lived in seemed to be made of turf. Well, at that time such houses were not uncommon, due to the weak financial situation. In that house there was a large room in which the uncle slept, and next to it, across the passage, there was another room without a door, where the grandfather slept, and his couch was visible from his uncle’s bed. My uncle was then less than 10 years old.

I was again faced with the inexplicable. And can anyone help me figure it out? As I have told in other stories, I am married to a Dutchman. We live in Belgium. Married for almost 8 years. Before we got married, he lived in Holland and worked for the same employer for 20 years. He has a lot of experience operating a forklift. Forklift is a type of special warehouse floor transport designed for lifting, moving, unloading, loading, storing (stacking) pallets, pallets and other various cargo using forks or other working devices (attachments).

Next I arrived. Since the laws are different in Holland, and I did not have the right to live there, we moved to Belgium. His mother was against it and made scandals. She demanded that we draw up a marriage contract. We gave up on everything and legalized ourselves in Belgium and stayed there. Now she already knows how to behave, but I hate sitting at the same table with her. Next, I will say that when we moved to Belgium, he started having problems finding work. I don’t understand how this is possible. He is a perfectionist by nature. Faithful, loyal, honest, responsible, smart. And he has a decent amount of experience. My husband never stayed at any job for long. He was fired for no reason, they couldn’t even explain why. Then problems arose with registering a car, since in Belgium it is very difficult to register a Dutch one, but there was no money for a new one, and no one would give a loan, since there was no work. But his car didn’t cost anything, he got it from his uncle, an old one made in 1991.

This story happened to me when I was about 20. I was living abroad at the time and dating a guy. My boyfriend held a very good position and rented an apartment, where I periodically visited him, sometimes staying overnight. The apartment was renovated in a European style, done in dark colors. It looked stylish. Between the bedroom and the hall there was an opening in the wall in the form of an arch, where a stone statue stood. Golfer statue. I really didn’t like her, but she complemented the interior of the apartment. The statue was very heavy and too heavy for me to lift, that is, I could not remove it myself. I didn’t notice anything strange in the apartment until I started staying there alone.

It so happened that I am already writing the second one, which did not happen to me. I myself have never encountered this phenomenon, and to be honest, I have no desire to. After reading the story of my sister “” on this site, my husband told me his story, which happened to him when he was still a student returning home with friends late in the evening.

I'll tell you the story of my family, which affected three generations. I don't know, but the fact remains a fact.

My grandmother on my mother’s side died at the age of 35 (war, famine, illness), my mother was raised by her aunt. Mom got married, gave birth to three daughters, the middle daughter was born disabled. A terrible accident and mom and dad die, mom was 35 years old. We are raised by our paternal grandmother.

The date of May 9th for many of us is associated with Victory Day. But there are people, or rather, for whom this day has twice taken on a gloomy, mournful color. Why this happened on May 9 is still unknown. This is a sad story of people I have known since childhood.

Uncle Kolya and Aunt Raya have been friends with my parents for as long as I can remember. And I was friends with their daughter Klava, she was the same age as me. We played together, then went to the same school, but after graduation we went to study in different cities and after that I completely lost contact with her.

Uncle Kolya, Aunt Raya and their family were my parents’ neighbors on the landing, so Aunt Raya often dropped by to drink tea with my mother in her free time, talk about this and that, and when I was present at this, I really loved listening to her . Her calm, measured voice always calmed me down, I liked it, and how Aunt Raya talked about something, so I always asked her not to leave, but to stay with us a little.

A man and a cat are sitting under a plane tree, the cat will leave first, then the man, and then it will be the plane tree’s turn. An ancient parable, once again reminding us that nothing is eternal in this world, and everything will end someday. Elementary particles that live for fractions of seconds and stars that shine for billions of years will still die, and both believers and atheists agree with this statement.

If you believe all the terrible prophecies, then our Earth and all of humanity should have disappeared several tens of thousands of years ago. For many years, scientists, astrologers, and pseudo-scientific experts have been frightening us with the imminent death of all life on the planet. The list of such predictions is endless, and every year another prophet tells us about the last days, but fortunately, we continue to live. Although, in the history of the Earth there were several periods when biological life hung by a thread. They are called "mass extinctions" and are actually very close to "".

There is probably not a person in the whole world who would not like to tickle their nerves, at least from time to time. scary stories. Remember, like in a summer camp, when a group of guys gather around the fire and someone starts telling another horror story: everyone is wildly scared, but it was simply impossible to leave without listening to the end. That's how it is human nature– a thirst for the mysterious, mystical, and unknown is, to one degree or another, common to everyone. After all, the desire to understand the world around us in all its manifestations is inherent in us at the genetic level.

But if most mystical stories are nothing more than scary tales or the result of a wild imagination, then there are those that are based on real events. And they really make your blood run cold.

After all, it’s one thing to understand that what scares you doesn’t actually exist, and quite another thing to know that all this is true, and that these events have many eyewitnesses - ordinary people like you. And if fictional horror stories don’t seem scary to you, then real mysticism, stories from real life, will certainly be able to creep you out. All the following stories are based on real events.

Nakhodka

Returning from summer holidays, students at Sydney's popular Riverwood Primary School found a jar filled to the brim with blood in the schoolyard. No one knew where it came from, but since the jar contained about one and a half liters of blood, which is about a third of the total blood volume in the body of an adult, the police became interested in the unusual find. Conducted DNA forensic experts-tests showed that the jar contained real blood belonging to a man. But since no matches were found in the DNA database, it was never possible to find the person to whom this blood belonged. Many local residents believe that the jar found by the students belonged to a vampire who showed up in the city.

After things started disappearing from the house of an elderly Japanese man, he had to install cameras in his house CCTV. In a video recording made one night, the owner of the house saw how a short and very thin woman, unfamiliar to him, quietly climbed out of the wardrobe in his bedroom.

The cameras recorded the stranger walking around the house and looking at different things. She stole money from the man and even took a shower in his bathroom, and then, at dawn, she again disappeared into the closet, slipping in so as not to disturb the owner.

Deciding that it was a burglar who had somehow gotten into his room through the ventilation in the wall, the man contacted the police. The police arrived to clarify the circumstances moved the closet, but neither the ventilation hatch nor any secret passages were found behind it. But when, at the insistence of the owner of the house, they began to break down the wall, they discovered something that made the hair on the heads of those present stand on end. The corpse of the former owner of this house, who disappeared many years ago, was walled up in the wall behind the closet.

Death phone

Bulgarian phone number 0888-888-888 has been considered for many years damned, and some even call it nothing more than a “phone of death.” Since 2000, this number has belonged to one of the largest mobile operators in Bulgaria, and everyone to whom it was connected died a terrible death - every single owner of this number died. So, the first person to be offered this “golden” number died of cancer a few weeks after receiving it. The second and third owners died from gunshot wounds.

A series of deaths continued, and several years later the operator decided to block this number indefinitely.

However, according to many people, the number is still active: usually the machine reports that the subscriber is unavailable, but sometimes a strange, unintelligible voice answers the callers. So if others non-fictional mystical stories seem to you to be nothing more than legends, then you can verify the veracity of this yourself - if you wish.
