Where and when: Bavaria, Germany, in March 1922.

What: Andreas and Cazillia Gruber, their daughter Viktoria, and her children Cazilla and Josef, plus the housemaid, Maria, were murdered in cold blood on their Hinterkaifeck farm with a mattock/pickaxe.

Why is it so creepy? Before their untimely death, it was reported that Andreas told his neighbours and friends about instances of strange acts. He reported footprints leading to the house but not back, noises in the attic, and things appearing and going missing. Autopsy reports showed that 7-year-old Cazilla had been alive long enough to pull her own hair out, possibly from seeing the murders of her family, or after she herself was attacked. The creepiest part of all is the fact that the murderer decided to live in the house for a few days after they had killed everyone. They fed their animals and ate their food before leaving.

A/N buzzfeed unsolved is my inspiration to start this their commentary is so funny :)
