Mysterious incidents often occur in the world, which cannot be explained. Numerous researchers are trying to understand the cause of this or that mystical event, developing new versions. Unfortunately, there are few successful attempts. The vast majority of secrets remained unsolved.
Classification
All mysterious incidents can conditionally be divided into several types. Among them:
- mysterious murders and disappearances;
- natural phenomena;
- paranormal phenomena, including those associated with aliens;
- cases associated with the mystical abilities of man.
Hinterkayfek Farm
One of the most mysterious murder incidents occurred in Germany on a farm called Hinterkayfek. In 1922, a dead family and their servants were found there. The offender was not found. Of course, terrible murders occur daily in the world, and often those who commit them evade responsibility. But something really mystical happened on the Hinterkeifek farm.
The family living in the estate was unsociable, but well off. The hosts were Andreas and Cecilia Gruber. Their daughter and her two young children lived with them. On the day of the tragedy, a new servant came to them.
It is believed that the murder occurred on the night of April 1. The alarm was struck by a mechanic who came to the farm and did not find any of the family. On April 4, police entered the house. All people were dead. A maid was killed in her room and wrapped in a blanket. The two-year-old kid received a fatal blow right in the crib. After that, he was covered with a red skirt. The remaining members of the family were found dead in the barn, in their pajamas. All were killed with particular cruelty, their heads were crushed.
The robbery version disappeared immediately. The family was rich, but nothing was missing from the house. Even a purse with money left lying on a crib. It was proved that after the murder someone else lived in the house for several days. The dog and other pets were fed. In the attic they found traces of the presence of an outsider. There straw was laid, the remains of food were scattered, and the floor was dismantled. A rope hung from the ceiling.
Police learned from neighbors that a few days before the tragedy, the farm owner complained about a strange incident. He claimed that at night he heard building sounds and saw the light of a lantern near the house. When he went outside in the morning, he found footprints in the snow from the forest to the house. All the doors were locked. He did not find any traces leading back to the forest.
The police could not find the culprit. It is not even known whether he was alone or he had accomplices. What prompted him to commit the killings, and why did he live on the farm and farm for several days? The incident at the Hinterkayfek farm is still the most obscure and mystical in the German police archive.
The mystery of the death of Dyatlov
The most mysterious incident in the history of Soviet tourism is connected with the Dyatlov group. In 1959, presumably on the night of February 2, a group of 9 tourists died in the Northern Urals. These were experienced skiers. The group was headed by Igor Dyatlov.
Tourists were supposed to return from the campaign on February 15. Searches began a week later. On February 26, a tent of the Dyatlov group was found. There were no living or dead people in it.
The tent was cut from the inside with a knife. Inside were personal items, clothes and products of tourists. Shoes were dumped in a pile. Within a radius of several meters around the tent, clothes were scattered. Traces of people went down the slope into the forest.
Gradually, rescuers began to detect bodies. Most of them were near the large cedar, which grew at the edge of the forest. Some bodies were stripped to underwear. Almost everyone was missing shoes. Rescuers discovered the remains of a fire and partially burnt scraps of clothing.
The body of Dyatlov himself was found by local hunters 300 meters from the cedar. It seemed that the group leader had died trying to get to the tent. He lay 300 meters from her. His head was pointing towards the tent.
Most members of the group died due to exposure to the cold. But three had terrible injuries. For example: multiple fractures of the ribs, a multi-fragmented closed impressed fracture in the area of the arch and base of the skull, internal bleeding into the chest cavity.
Investigators could not understand who or what caused such terrible injuries to people. But the main thing is why experienced tourists cut the entire tent, left food and warm clothes in it. And then, almost in their underwear, they went into severe frost and at night went into the forest.
The culprits of this terrible and mysterious incident were never found. There are many versions trying to explain everything that happened to the group. For example, the actions of fugitive criminals, avalanche gathering and alien experiments. Most versions do not stand up to criticism.
The most plausible version of Alexei Rakitin looks. He set it out in the book "Death Following the Trail ...". The author was able to give convincing answers to most questions. Literally minutes described all the events that took place.
Crop Circles
Mysterious incidents have been recorded for centuries in corn and other fields. Circles and various images appear there. There are those that are easy to understand. But most of the drawings are a mystery.
The first mention of circles on the field dates back to 1678. In Hertfordshire, a local farmer discovered that his oats crop was neatly mowed in the form of huge circles. Then everyone was attributed to diabolical tricks.
From time to time, such incidents were recorded at different periods and in other places, but they did not indulge in special significance. Everything changed in 1990, when more than 500 figures were discovered simultaneously around the world. At the moment, their number exceeds several thousand. Modern circles are very complex, can have up to 500 meters in diameter.
The main hypotheses of the appearance of circles:
- hoax;
- test objects for secret satellite equipment;
- theory of plasma swirl;
- alien mind work.
The disappearance of the colony of Roanoke
One of the most mysterious incidents with people happened at the end of the 16th century. The entire population of the English colony of Roanoke, based in North America, mysteriously disappeared. There were about a hundred men and 17 women with children in the settlement. No colonists were found.
Surprisingly, the fence surrounding the settlement was untouched. Houses and other buildings were absent. It seemed that they were simply dismantled. All that remains of the colony is the word carved on a tree: Croatoan. Why the British left him is unknown. The symbolic sign in case of trouble should be the Maltese cross, but not this word. The search for people yielded no results and could not bring clarity. According to the basic version, all the colonists were killed by the Indians. But not a single grave was found.
Tunguska meteorite
Mysterious incidents in the history of Russia often happened. One of them occurred 110 years ago in Central Siberia. At 7 a.m. a huge fiery body flew through the sky, which was seen in many settlements. Sounds like thunder were heard. Then an explosion of terrible power was heard.
Trees were felled in a radius of two kilometers. The heat was so intense that the moss and the dryland caught fire. The windows in the settlements, which were 300 km from the epicenter, were knocked out. A blast wave was recorded even in the UK.
Three days before what happened in the sky above Europe, strange phenomena were observed. For example, strange clouds of silver color, twilight and fireballs too bright. Numerous expeditions did not find the remains of the meteorite, although it is believed that it was he who caused the incident.
Experts determined that the power of the explosion was equal to 185 bombs dropped on Hiroshima. Surprisingly, not a single human sacrifice as a result of what happened was. What caused the explosion, which lit up the entire sky over Europe and was visible even in America, is not known for certain. According to one version, everything was to blame for the experiments of Nikola Tesla.
Eileen More Lighthouse
A terrible and mystical event took place on Flannan Island in the Atlantic Ocean. The sailors passing by the lighthouse noticed that it was not turned on. They transmitted this information to the coast guard of Scotland.
The chief caretaker, who arrived on the island on a rescue ship, could not give an explanation for the mysterious incident. The entrance doors of the lighthouse were tightly closed from the inside. Nobody responded to the cries of the caretaker.
When he finally managed to get inside, he found a table set, as if people were going to have dinner. One chair lay upside down. Two pairs of boots and a jacket were missing. None of the lighthouse employees could be found.
The chief ranger, who had to keep watch alone for a month, claimed that he constantly heard some voices. It seemed to him that something supernatural was constantly watching him. After being replaced, he no longer returned to the Eileen More lighthouse.
The ship "Maria Celeste"
There are so many secrets that will never be solved. Mystical phenomena are observed everywhere in the world. The most mysterious incident in the history of shipping is connected with a ship called "Maria Celeste". He was discovered on December 5, 1872, drifting without a crew.
The ship was not damaged. His daughter’s toys were scattered around the captain’s cabin, and his wife’s sewing machine stood with unfinished sewing. There was also a jewelry box and money. All the smoking pipes of the sailors were hidden in the cockpit. And in the holds was an untouched cargo - cognac rectificate. In addition to this, there was a ship's magazine. Chronometer and sextant were not found.
Several versions were put forward, but not one of them was confirmed. Most likely it seems that the captain and crew wanted to wait out some danger in the boat. Unfortunately, the cable broke and the ship sailed away. People in the boat died.
Strange Behavior of Pioneer Probes
Thanks to the huge amount of modern means of observation and control, it seems that every centimeter of the planet is under observation. Despite this, mysterious incidents in the world continue to occur. Scientific and technological progress has allowed man to penetrate into space. But the discoveries gave rise to even more mysteries.
In 1972, the Americans launched a probe called Pioneer 10. After 11 years, his younger brother flew after him. Both of them had to go beyond the limits of the Solar system. Pioneer 10 carries the so-called interstellar writing for alien worlds.
Unfortunately, not one of the probes was able to fly beyond the limits of the solar system. It seems that some unknown force does not let them in. At the same time, both probes, launched with a difference of 11 years, behave exactly the same.
