Top 4 CRAZIEST UNEXPLAINED MYSTERIES

It is human nature to be curious – to wonder how and to ask why. Our mind wants to make sense of the world around us so we’re constantly looking to answer questions we can't figure out.

The next four cases have baffled people for years. Some of these you may have already heard of while others you might not have.

In the wake of them happening and the years that follow, they have left people frustrated; asking, prodding and wondering what really happened. These cases are 4 of the craziest unexplained mysteries we've come across.

The Hinterkaifeck Massacre

Who would have guessed that a scenic quiet German state in Bavaria would be home to one of the grisliest and most mysterious murders to happen in German history?

Sitting an hour away from Munich is Kaufeck. This small Bavarian village was home to plenty of farmsteads including that of the Grubers.

While the Grubers were controversial, their story started when their long time maid abruptly left her job. She was terrified and confessed to hearing footsteps and strange voices around the house. Six months after the maid left, bizarre things started to happen at the Gruber residence.

One day in March, Andreas (63) was surveying his farmland when he saw footsteps in the snow coming from the forest and heading straight to his property. No footsteps lead back out. That night, there were sounds from the attic but he found no one there.

The next morning when he woke, a mysterious newspaper, not belonging to the family was sitting on the front porch. On top of that, a set of house keys disappeared on March 30, 1922, never to be seen again.

Despite the strange occurrences, the Grubers welcomed the arrival of their new maid, Maria Baumgartner on March 31, 1922.

Days passed and the Grubers had not been seen in town so by April 4th, several townsfolk decided to check on the family.

They approached the barn and found the bloody corpses of Andreas, his wife, Cäzilia (72), their daughter, Viktoria (35) and Viktoria's daughter Cäzilia who was just seven years old. They were stacked on top of each other and covered in hay. Inside the home they found 2 year old Josef in his bassinet. He had a blow to his face with the top part of the bassinet broken. Next they headed to the maid's room. Maria had been killed with a crosswise blow to her head on the first day of the job.

So who violently murdered the Grubers and why?

No one knows for sure and as investigators tried to piece things together, what they found made the case even more puzzling. They concluded the Grubers were murdered on Friday March, 31st. The neighbors said they didn't think anything was wrong since smoke had been seen coming from the house chimney over the weekend. Further investigations showed food was eaten and prepared and that a bed was even slept in. The livestock and cattle were well fed and even the dog was secured and healthy. In fact, none of the animals were harmed.

The investigators arrived at a chilling conclusion. Apparently, whoever killed and murdered the family stayed behind to eat their food and sleep in their bed, as the Gruber's cold lifeless bodies lie nearby.

Who do you think did it? A spurned lover? A wayward vagabond? Or maybe ghosts? All of these have been offered as a possible explanation.

Over 100 suspects were questioned, but no one was charged or arrested for the crime. The mystery of Hinterkaifeck remains to this day. The only remembrance left of the farm and the family that died there 94 years ago is a small shrine near the property.

The Taman Shud Case (The Somerton Man)

From the cold, quiet farmland in Bavaria, we move to the sunny beach of Somerton in Adelaide, Australia on December 1, 1948.

Here, we encounter, a mysterious dead man on the beach. Well dressed in a fine suit with the labels torn out, his only possessions were a comb, some gum, a half smoked cigarette in his pocket, an unused rail and bus ticket and a small piece of paper torn from a book with the words, "Taman Shud."

A Persian word, meaning, "finished."

The words were taken from a rare 12th century book, the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam. Days later, a local man came forward and handed the correct copy to the police. He said he found the book in the backseat of his car. The same two words, "Taman Shud", were cut out. A phone number was scribbled in small letters at the back and unusual letters were penciled in as well. The latter, people believe, was a code.
