Mysteries that have puzzled us for decades: There are many things in life that are never fully explained. Why do cats invite you to stroke their belles and then rip the living hell out of your hand when you do so? Why do round pizzas come in square boxes? Who keeps commissioning Adam Sandler comedies?

The list is endless but many of these mysteries are downright mundane when it comes to some of the head-scratchers featured in this article. From the supernatural to the downright unnatural, these cases have proved utterly impossible to crack for decades now.
From the paradise beaches of Australia to snowy Devon, there have been events so inexplicable and baffling that some of the brightest minds in the world have spent decades trying to solve them, only to fail miserably. Mysterious creatures have appeared at windows, scientists have resorted to sending unsolicited social media messages to the deepest recesses of space, Satan has taken a moonlight stroll and gruff Russians have barked enigmatic phrases to nobody in particular, in cases that would cause Sherlock Holmes to give up and sit back with some opium.
The following mysteries have almost nothing in common with each other except from two things: they are still unsolved after years of speculation and they are all, in their own way, positively spine-chilling. Read on, but be warned – you may be sleeping with the light on tonight.

10. The Hinterkaifeck Murders
via martinjclemens.com
On March 22nd 1922, six people were murdered in cold blood with a pickaxe in the idyllic Bavarian farmland of Hinterkaifeck. The Gruber family were slaughtered along with their maid, and the killer was never found. Six weeks before the murders, patriarch Andreas found footsteps in the snow leading from the woods to the farmhouse but eerily, there were no footsteps leading back out to the woods. A full search of the outbuildings and house was conducted but nobody was found. A few days before the murders, a set of the Gruber’s house keys went missing, a strange newspaper turned up on the porch and Andreas also heard footsteps in the attic. It is believed that sometime in the evening of Friday 22nd, Andreas, his wife, their daughter and eldest grandchild were lured to the barn one by one and killed, before being stacked one on top of the other. In an even stranger twist to the tale, neighbors claim that there was smoke coming from the farm’s chimney all weekend – meaning someone had been living in the house with the bodies, had eaten meals there and – bizarrely – even fed the livestock.
