Mysterious incidents often occur in the world, the explanations for which cannot be found. Numerous researchers are trying to understand the cause of this or that mystical event, developing new versions. Unfortunately, few successful attempts are known. The vast majority of mysteries remain unsolved.
Classification
All mysterious incidents can be conditionally divided into several types. Among them:
- mysterious murders and disappearances;
- natural phenomena;
- paranormal events, including those related to aliens;
- cases related to human mystical abilities.
Hinterkaifeck Farm
One of the most mysterious murder incidents happened in Germany, on a farm called Hinterkaifeck. In 1922, a dead family and their servants were found there. The perpetrator was not found. Of course, terrible murders take place in the world every day, and often those who commit them evade responsibility. But something truly mystical happened at the Hinterkaifeck farm.
The family that lived in the estate was unsociable, but prosperous. The hosts were Andreas and Cecilia Gruber. Their daughter and her two small children lived with them. On the day of the tragedy, a new servant arrived.
The murder is believed to have taken place on the night of April 1st. The alarm was sounded by a mechanic who came to the farm and did not find anyone from the family. On April 4, the police entered the house. All people were dead. The servant was killed in her room and wrapped in a blanket. A 2-year-old baby received a fatal blow right in the crib. After that, he was covered with a red skirt. The rest of the family is found dead in the barn, in their pajamas. All were killed with extreme cruelty, their heads were crushed.
The version of the robbery disappeared immediately. The family was rich, but nothing was missing from the house. Even the purse with the money left to lie on the crib. It was proved that after the murder, someone else lived in the house for several days. The dog and other pets were fed. Traces of the presence of an outsider were found in the attic. Straw was laid there, the remains of food were lying around and the floor was dismantled. A rope hung from the ceiling.
Police learned from neighbors that a few days before the tragedy, the owner of the farm complained about a strange incident. He claimed that at night he heard construction sounds and saw the light of a lantern not far from the house. When he went outside in the morning, he found footprints in the snow leading from the forest to the house. All doors were locked. He found no footprints leading back to the forest.
The police could not find the perpetrator. It is not even knownhe was alone or he had accomplices. What prompted him to commit the murders and why did he live on the farm and run the household for a few more days? The incident at the Hinterkaifeck farm is still the most incomprehensible and mystical in the archives of the German police.
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. They were experienced skiers. Igor Dyatlov headed the group.
The tourists were supposed to return from the hike on February 15th. The search began a week later. On February 26, the 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 belongings, clothes and food of tourists. Shoes were piled up. Clothing was scattered around the tent within a radius of several meters. Traces of people went down the slope into the forest.
Slowly, rescuers began to find the bodies. Most of them were near a large cedar that grew near the edge of the forest. Some of the bodies were stripped down to their underwear. Almost everyone was missing shoes. Rescuers found the remains of a fire and partially burned pieces of clothing.
The body of Dyatlov himself was found by local hunters 300 meters from the cedar. The leader of the group seemed to have died trying to get to the tent. He lay 300 meters away from her. His head was pointing towards the tent.
Most of the group members died due to exposure to cold. But three hadsevere injuries were found. For example: multiple fractures of the ribs, multi-comminuted closed depressed fracture in the area of the vault and base of the skull, internal bleeding into the chest cavity.
Investigators could not figure out who or what inflicted such terrible injuries on people. But the main thing is why experienced tourists cut up the entire tent, left food and warm clothes in it. And then, almost in only their underwear, they went out into the bitter cold and went into the forest at night.
The perpetrators 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, an avalanche and the experiments of aliens. Most versions fall short.
The most plausible version is Alexei Rakitin's. He outlined it in the book "Death, following the trail …". The author was able to give convincing answers to most questions. Literally, minute by minute, he described all the events that took place.
Crop circles
Mysterious incidents have been recorded in corn and other fields for centuries. Circles and various images appear there. There are some 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 found that his oat crop had been cut neatly into huge circles. Then everything was written off as devilish tricks.
From time to time such incidents were recorded in different periods and in other places, but of particular importance to themnot betrayed. Everything changed in 1990, when more than 500 figures were discovered at the same time around the world. At the moment, their number exceeds several thousand. Modern circles are very complex, they can be up to 500 meters in diameter.
Main hypotheses for the occurrence of circles:
- hoax;
- test objects for secret satellite equipment;
- plasma swirl theory;
- the work of an alien mind.
Disappearance of the Roanoke colony
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, founded in North America, has mysteriously disappeared. There were about a hundred men and 17 women with children in the settlement. No colonists were found.
Surprisingly, the fence that surrounded the settlement was intact. There were no houses or other buildings. It looked like they were just taken apart. All that remains of the colony is the word "Croatoan" carved into the tree. Why the British left him is unknown. The M altese cross was supposed to act as a conventional sign in case of trouble, but not this word. Searches of people have not yielded any results and have not been able to bring clarity. According to the main version, all the colonists were killed by the Indians. But no graves were found.
Tunguska meteorite
Mysterious incidents in the history of Russia happened often. One of them happened 110 years ago in Central Siberia. At 7 o'clock in the morning, a huge fiery body flew in the sky, which was seen in many settlements. Sounds liketo the thunder Then a terrible explosion was heard.
Trees were knocked down within a radius of two kilometers. The heat was so strong that moss and dry wood caught fire. Windows were shattered in settlements located 300 km from the epicenter. And the blast wave was recorded even in the UK.
Three days before the incident, strange phenomena were observed in the sky over Europe. For example, incomprehensible clouds of silvery color, too bright twilight and fireballs. Numerous expeditions have not found the remains of the meteorite, although it is believed that it was the cause of the incident.
Experts determined that the power of the explosion was equal to 185 bombs dropped on Hiroshima. Surprisingly, there were no human casu alties as a result of what happened. 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, the experiments of Nikola Tesla were to blame.
Eileen Mor Lighthouse
A terrible and mystical event took place on Flannan Island in the Atlantic Ocean. Sailors passing by the lighthouse noticed that it was not turned on. They passed this information on to the Scottish Coast Guard.
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 caretaker's cries.
When he finally managed to get inside, he found a set table, as if people were going to have dinner. Onethe chair was upside down. Two pairs of boots and a jacket were missing. None of the lighthouse employees could be found.
The chief caretaker, 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 never returned to the Eilean More Lighthouse.
Ship "Mary Celeste"
There are so many mysteries that will never be solved. Mystical phenomena are observed everywhere in the world. The most mysterious incident in the history of shipping is associated with a ship called the Mary Celeste. It was discovered on December 5, 1872, adrift, without a crew.
The ship was not damaged. The captain's cabin was strewn with his daughter's toys, and his wife's sewing machine was left unfinished. There was also a jewelry box and money. All the sailors' pipes were hidden in the cockpit. And in the holds there was untouched cargo - cognac rectified. In addition, there was also a ship's log on the spot. Chronometer and sextant were not found.
Several versions were put forward, but none of them could be confirmed. It seems most likely that the captain and crew wanted to wait out some danger in the boat. Unfortunately, the cable broke and the ship sailed away. The people in the boat were killed.
Strange behavior of Pioneer probes
Thanks to the vast amount of modern means of observation and control, it seems that every centimeter of the planet is under observation. Despite this, mysterious incidentsin the world continue to happen. Scientific and technological progress has allowed man to penetrate into space. But the discoveries have spawned even more mysteries.
In 1972, the Americans launched a probe called Pioneer 10. 11 years later, his younger brother flew after him. Both of them were supposed to go beyond the solar system. Pioneer 10 carries the so-called interstellar writing for alien worlds.
Unfortunately, none of the probes could fly out 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.
