Creepy Unsolved Mysteries - From unsolved murders to unidentified people to unexplained supernatural events, what are some of the creepiest unsolved mysteries you've ever heard of?

The worker explained that the factory was built inside an old rural cemetery. There is one restless spirit that resides in the darkest areas of the plant. The female ghost appears as a black shadow, with long flowing hair. On at least 2 occasions she had lured children away from their parents in the darkest hours of the workday (5AM or 5PM). Luckily, the children were retrieved prior to disaster. Always found in the same spot - an old, hand built wooden staircase. This is also the worst lit part of the facility - none of the old lights could penetrate it.

Each time, a distracted child followed the 'Dark Lady' mindlessly. They believed her to have some authority in the place. The workers believed that her grave must be located in the vicinity of the staircase.

The "Dark Lady" sounds like she might be related to La Llorona, who haunts Hispanic 'hoods throughout the USA.

As for the staircase, it reminds me of the legend of Loretto Chapel in Santa Fe, NM.

Maybe it wasn’t noted as much in the US, but the case of Madeline McCann, was always suspicious to me. What kind of parents leave their kids alone in a holiday resort room, to go off partying with their friends. It never sat right with me, the wee soul is probably dead. I’m not the only one who think that it was arranged by the parents for her to be sold off to a pedophile ring.

She's dead, the parents did it, and nobody can change my mind on that.

In fact, there's now a theory going on that she was dead for days prior to her actually going "missing" because none of the parents' friends, or any of the hotel staff recall actually seeing Madeline beforehand, and there's a really good chance the supposed last photos of her are faked.

This isn't even to mention how disgusting her parents talk about her in their book. Seriously, the way they describe her, and what might've happened to her is just horrific, and inexcusable, especially since they're her parents. "Her perfect little genitals torn apart." who the fuck talks about their kid like that, let alone their fucking toddler?!

They killed her, covered it up, and everyone knows it, and the only reason they have been locked up is because they have some big connections somewhere.

Whatever happened to Brianna Maitland? She went missing and nothing of much note has come out since then. Also, who was the Mad Trapper of Rat River?

I ran across something on YT and thought I’d share. This guy uses sonar to go out and search for missing people who disappeared in their vehicles (and are presumed to possibly be under water).

You would think this would be a rare occasion, but no. There are a few similar YT channels with various groups, and they’ve found a shitload of missing people like this.

It boggles my mind. How many times has a boater or fisherman just passed right over these areas and not realized a dead body was below them?

All of these guys are legit heroes. I couldn’t dive down in murky water and put my hand in a window to see if a skeleton is in there. That’s nightmare fuel.

It’s just creepy. I wonder how many missing people are just right there, close, in the water...

Brianna was involved with some *very* rough people. She was into hard drugs and acquainted with two dealers who were also known to pimp out girls in exchange for drugs. She was fucking at least one of the dealers, whose girlfriend had coincidentally been murdered in a deal gone wrong a couple years before.

A lot. Charley Project had a whole slew of missing persons cases solved and a lot of them were people who were in their car and underwater.

The 2 Dutch girls that went missing in Panama on a day hike. Small parts of their remains were found months later. So many odd details about what could possibly have happened to them. Definitely worth an hour or 2 down the rabbit hole.

This is what I suspect probably happened in the Lost Boy Larry case if it's actually real.

My theory is that the car wrecked some place where it could've been swept away in a flood, or something, and did so, and now it's just at the bottom of some pond, or creek, or whatever.

Here's a classic example of a case where this is almost certainly what happened, and the searchers just looked in the wrong place, or didn't have good enough technology.

How did the name "Karen" get associated with "Karens"?

To be honest? completely random, probably. It was originally a retail worker slang meme talking about customers behaving like shit without saying the persons name in a manner to some similar prison slang I can't fucking remember the name of right now. It's been around for decades but mainstream media caught wind of it and mutated it to just mean "white and/or right wing woman" much like they did the same with the boomer slang which was initially meant as someone that was nostalgic about things having a sort of naive yet positive outlook on life but once mainstream media caugh it it became "BAD IGNORANT WHITE MAN CAPITALIST!"

I remember hearing about that story on Monsters and Mysteries in America which used to be on Destination America. Very bizarre but, fascinating tale.

I always wondered what happened to that farmhouse

I always wondered what happened to that farmhouse

Apparently, as of 2015, there was a woman living in the house who evidently had the shed that it was supposedly living in destroyed. Jason Offutt placed the two women who had previously lived in the house on separate occasions and reported having experiences with it into contact with one another and they both went back to the house together and tried to ask the new resident if she had any weird experiences and she wanted nothing to do with them and basically told them to leave her alone.

There's been an update on the Ruth Price 911 Call. It's real.

However, Ruth actually survived the attack, and not only that, she fought off her attacker. That thump that people thought was her hitting the ground was actually her pulling the phone receiver off in order to help get the bastard away from her.

This was all found out by a podcast called "Going West" who managed to find a newspaper clipping archive accurately describing the attack and then tie it to an obituary that had previously been found but disregarded as it stated that the woman died in of an illness instead of from the assault like every description for the call said.

Another key thing to note is that the urban legend got wrong was that Ruth was not raped either. Aside from being obviously shaken up, and some minor injuries, she was fine, and continued to live until 1994 where she died at the age of 80.

Good job, Ruth. May your terrifying pterodactyl screams be the only thing your assailant hears wherever he is now.

Brian Schafer

On March 31 of 2006 Brian entered an bar and grill in the campus district of Columbus Ohio called the Ugly Tuna Saloona. There's surveillance footage of him going up the escalator and entering the restaurant, at it's only entry and exit point I believe, but none of him ever coming out. There was nothing else on that floor other than the restaurant.

Vid of someone taking the last known steps of Brian.

He just disappeared into thin air and has never been seen again. Someone found a homeless guy in Tijuana that kinda looks like him but there's been nothing confirmed.

If anyone has any information please contact the authorities. He has a shit ton of student debt to pay back and The Ohio State University is not happy, probably.
