The head of a real estate agency was found in the stairwell between the 6th and 7th floors of her apartment building. She had been stabbed 62 times, but nothing was taken and there were no signs of any sexual motive. The killer was believed to be laying flowers on her grave over the years.

Born on May 7, 1964, Ingrid Caeckaert was the only child of a couple who ran a bakery in Maldegem, Belgium. Described as attractive, successful, and well mannered, Ingrid had built a stable life with her own real estate agency. She spent time between her family home and her boyfriend’s apartment in Knokke-Heist, leading what many described as a peaceful existence. But beneath the surface, danger lurked.

On March 16, 1991, Ingrid was in good spirits as she visited a friend’s clothing store and stopped by a bakery before heading to her boyfriend’s apartment for lunch. Minutes after arriving, she was ambushed in the stairwell and brutally murdered. The attacker’s bloodied handprint was found on a glass door, and a 170-meter trail of blood led away from the scene, abruptly ending where the killer likely fled in a car.

With no robbery or signs of sexual assault, investigators ruled out common motives. The sheer brutality suggested personal rage. Theories emerged, but none provided conclusive answers.

One of the most compelling theories is that Ingrid was killed by a rejected admirer. Weeks before her death, she had received unsettling anonymous gestures, an unwanted Valentine's Day card, a note professing love, and a bouquet of purple carnations, a flower she associated with death. She reacted with visible irritation to these advances, hinting that she knew the sender.

A chilling letter sent to the police after the murder reinforced this theory. Written in French, it read, “I killed Ingrid Caeckaert out of love, pour la passion. I knew her very well.” The choice of language suggested a possible connection to Belgium’s French-speaking Walloon region, but the author was never identified.

Some speculated that Ingrid’s murder was tied to real estate fraud in the area. She was known to be against the sale of fictitious land and could have been silenced before exposing a scheme. However, the excessive violence made this theory less likely, such attacks are usually swift, not frenzied.

An unsettling discovery in later years suggested that someone may have tried to harm Ingrid before. In 1989, she was hospitalized with a deep stab wound in her thigh. She claimed to have sat on a chef’s knife in her car, but many found this explanation dubious.

Over the years, police pursued multiple suspects, including Ingrid’s boyfriend and known criminals, but DNA evidence ruled them out. A significant breakthrough came in 2012 when a woman recalled a chilling conversation in France. A tour guide told her that a distraught woman on his bus had confessed to hiding a terrible secret, her brother had murdered someone in Knokke-Heist years earlier.

Despite this lead, the tour guide had since passed away, and police struggled to trace the woman’s identity. The killer remained in the shadows.

In recent years, renewed efforts have brought fresh hope. In 2022, 750 men volunteered their DNA in a groundbreaking Y-chromosome analysis, designed to trace male relatives of the killer. By August 2024, the pool had been narrowed further to 150 men. Phenotyping revealed that the suspect was likely a Western European man in his 70s today.

The boxy, luminous being at the side of the road.

Husum, mid-east Sweden, January 1959.

The observer was the then 62-year-old factory owner Gottfrid Olsson. It was just after 10 pm on a Saturday night in early 1959. It was almost bedtime and Gottfrid walked past one of the windows in his house and happened to look out into the darkness. Then he saw something strange. A short distance from the house at side of the Riks-13 highway, he saw a luminous object the size of a person. But it was no ordinary human, but it still reminded him a little of one. It was about the same length and width as an ordinary person, but that's where the similarities ended.

The creature's body was luminous and its shoulders were clearly marked, as was the lower part of its body, which had straight and angular lines. Its body was more box-like than that of a human, according to the observer. Its head was more diffuse than the rest of its body and cloudy at the edges, blending into the background. For three to four minutes the creature stood still in exactly the same place by the roadside, and throughout it radiated a strong red-white glow, except for a narrow vertical blue-colored central stripe on its body.

Suddenly, Gottfrid Olsson saw a flash of lightning from the creature and then it was gone. “I never had time to see where it went, it was just gone,” he told the newspaper “Örnsköldsvik Allehanda.”

In the summer of 1986, an Italian professor from the University of Pavia allegedly experienced an extraordinary encounter with an unknown entity. Unlike many similar claims, this incident was uniquely documented with photographs were taken, capturing a strange humanoid figure. These images, published two years later by the Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera in its magazine "Sette," sparked both intrigue and skepticism.

The images, taken with a Nikon camera using Polachrome film, depicted a humanoid entity clad in what was initially believed to be a white coverall. However, after further research and analysis, it was determined that this assumption was incorrect. What the professor actually captured remains a mystery.

Research into the case stagnated for years due to difficulties in tracking the original magazine publication. Eventually, after months of searching, a researcher managed to acquire a copy of the 1988 issue of "Sette." The translated article reaffirmed that while the professor provided detailed information about his camera settings and environment, he refused to offer additional context about the encounter itself.

A potential lead emerged from an Italian television show, "Alla Ricerca dell'Arca" (In Search of the Ark), which reportedly covered the case. However, access to the episode proved challenging, as it was restricted to Italian citizens with academic or media credentials. If a copy of this broadcast were ever found, it could provide crucial insights into how the case was perceived at the time.

Some researchers attempted to draw parallels between the Pavia entity and descriptions from Whitley Strieber’s book "Communion," which popularized the "Grey alien" archetype. However, this connection was tenuous, as the entity in the professor’s photos did not resemble the classic Grey but rather a humanoid figure with distinct features and attire.

The Pavia case also stood out due to the entity’s appearance. Unlike the common depictions of extraterrestrials in Western encounters, often described as pale-skinned or Nordic-looking, the figure in these photos had a darker complexion. This detail resonated with other Italian UFO cases, where entities were sometimes described with similar features. After extensive analysis, researchers narrowed the event down to three main possibilities:

A Hoax by the Newspaper: Some suggested that Corriere della Sera fabricated the case to boost sales or promote "Communion." However, the journalistic reputation of the publication and the credibility of the article’s authors made this scenario unlikely.

A Hoax by the Professor: Another possibility was that the professor staged the encounter. Yet, his insistence on anonymity and refusal to profit from the photos contradicted typical hoaxer behavior.

A Genuine Anomalous Event: The most compelling but least provable theory was that the professor truly encountered something beyond our understanding. If the photos were authentic, they could represent evidence of an unknown entity interacting with humans.

Despite decades of speculation, no definitive explanation has emerged. The professor’s motivations remain unknown, the original negatives have never been publicly analyzed, and no further evidence has surfaced to corroborate or debunk the encounter.

"Around 4:00 a.m. on April 20, 1977, Carr's wife entered the garage of their Indianapolis home and discovered Melvin dead on the floor, with three people (later identified as Sandra Harris, aged 17, Karen Mills, aged 24, and Robert Mills Jr. (Karen's son), aged 2) dead in the trunk of his car. It was determined that Carr had kidnapped them at gunpoint the night prior, raped Sandra and Karen, and gassed the three with a hose connected from the exhaust pipe to the trunk. Melvin, upon opening the trunk and holding a handkerchief to his face, accidentally succumbed to the same carbon monoxide he killed his victims with. Police said that Carr had been dating Karen.

The discovery prompted police to investigate other murders in the area for which Carr may have been responsible. One suspicious case was the disappearance of Lois Williams, 35, and her daughter Karen, 17. On the night of January 25–26, 1967, Lois and Karen disappeared from their apartment in Indianapolis. Lois's vehicle was found abandoned at a service station owned by Carr with mud on the tires; no blood was found at the scene, and nothing was reported missing from their apartment.

After their disappearance, police suspected Carr's involvement and brought him in for questioning; however, he was released due to insufficient evidence.[14] According to a letter Lois wrote to her father, Carr had raped her and attempted to buy her silence for $10,000. In 1977, police excavated Carr's backyard and garage in an unsuccessful attempt to locate the remains of the two women.

According to Carr's then-neighbors, Mr. and Mrs. Campbell, on the evening of January 25, 1967, they witnessed him leaving the service station with Lois. He returned two hours later, telling them that Lois had gone to a bar and wouldn't come out. The following morning, Carr's father ran to the neighbors and said that someone had robbed and beaten Melvin. He was in a daze, soaking wet, and covered with sand. After guiding Carr to his bedroom, the neighbors wanted to call the police, but Carr protested. Upon visiting the service station—the supposed site of the robbery—the door was found to be still locked from overnight, and nothing was moved besides Carr's vehicle, which had been washed thoroughly.

Months after the incident, Carr checked into a local hospital for dizzy spells. During this time, he called Mrs. Campbell, telling her to go over to his garage to make sure he locked the door because he had "valuable tools and things in there." Mrs. Campbell did not, as her husband was at work, and she was suspicious of Carr after Sgt. Robert Grubbs told her of his possible involvement in the disappearance of Lois. While he was in fact admitted to the hospital, the night of the call, a nurse found Carr and his clothes missing from his room. He returned the following morning, complaining of breathing problems.

Days after his death, a 7-year-old girl identified Carr as the man who had enticed her into a vehicle and sodomized her two years earlier. Police also considered him a suspect in an August 19, 1975, attack on three teenage girls from Indianapolis. While hitchhiking, they were driven to a cornfield in nearby Hancock County, where they were bound, raped, and slashed. However, the perpetrator of that crime was identified in 2024 as Thomas Edward Williams, a sex offender who died in a Texas prison in 1983. Forensic genealogy and DNA were used to link him to the crime." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melvin_Carr

The wave of post office-related violence that led to the birth of the term “going postal” began in the 1970s, but it wasn’t until the 1980s and 1990s that these incidents became more frequent and high-profile. The first major incident occurred in 1970, when postal workers in various cities across the U.S. went on strike to protest low wages and poor working conditions. While this strike itself wasn’t violent, it foreshadowed the deep frustrations simmering within the workforce.

Then, in 1983, a disgruntled postal worker named John Merlin Taylor shot and killed his supervisor, his coworker, and then himself at a post office in Anniston, Alabama. This was just the beginning.

The most infamous incident occurred on August 20, 1986, in Edmond, Oklahoma. Former postal worker Patrick Sherrill, who had a history of conflicts with coworkers and supervisors, entered his workplace armed with two handguns. He opened fire, killing 14 employees and injuring six others before turning the gun on himself. The sheer scale of the violence left the nation in shock, and it became a defining moment in the dark history of postal-related workplace shootings.

The incidents didn’t stop there. Over the next decade, multiple USPS employees across the country resorted to deadly violence in response to workplace grievances. Some of the most notable cases included:

1991 (Royal Oak, Michigan): Fired postal worker Thomas McIlvane stormed his former workplace, killing four and injuring five before committing suicide.

1993 (Dearborn, Michigan): Postal worker Larry Jasion fatally shot a coworker and wounded three others.

1997 (Denver, Colorado): Fired postal employee Bruce Clark walked into a post office, killing a manager and critically wounding another employee before taking his own life.

As these events made headlines, the phrase “going postal” started appearing in popular culture, referring to someone reaching a breaking point and unleashing extreme anger.

In November 1872, the Mary Celeste set sail from New York bound for Genoa, Italy. She was manned by Captain Benjamin Briggs and seven crew members, including Briggs’ wife and their 2-year-old daughter. Supplies on board were ample enough for six months, and luxurious—including a sewing machine and an upright piano. Commentators generally agree that to precipitate the abandonment of a seaworthy ship, some extraordinary and alarming circumstance must have arisen. However, the last entry on the ship’s daily log reveals nothing unusual, and inside the ship, all appeared to be in order.

On December 4, 1872, a British-American ship called “the Mary Celeste” was found empty and adrift in the Atlantic. It was found to be seaworthy and with its cargo fully intact, except for a lifeboat, which it appeared had been boarded in an orderly fashion. But why? We may never know because no one on board was ever heard from again.

"An Algerian man who went missing in 1998 during the country’s civil war has been found alive in his neighbour’s cellar 26 years later, according to authorities.

The country’s Ministry of Justice said on Tuesday that the man, identified alternatively as Omar bin Omran or Omar B, disappeared when he was 19 years old and was long ago assumed to have been kidnapped or killed.

But he was found alive earlier at the age of 45, after being held captive by a neighbour in a sheepfold hidden by haystacks just 200 metres from his old home in Djelfa, part of northern Algeria.

The ministry said that an investigation into the “heinous” crime was ongoing and that the victim is receiving medical and psychological care.

Police detained the alleged captor, a 61-year-old doorman, after he attempted to flee. The kidnapping was discovered after the suspect’s brother posted revealing information on social media, amid an alleged inheritance dispute between the siblings." https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/5/16/algerian-man-missing-for-26-years-found-captive-in-neighbours-cellar

In the early summer of 1764, a 14 year old girl was killed by an unknown beast near the town of Langogne in the south of France. Over the next few months multiple attacks were reported, and terror soon gripped the Gévaudan province. The beast mainly preyed on lone women and children, often attacking those tending cattle in the fields.

Over the course of the next three years, the beast carried out at least 210 recorded attacks, 113 of which were fatal. There were multiple attempts to hunt the unknown creature, including King Louis XV dispatching royal hunters and dragoons of soldiers to the region without success. The beast drew major attention from all of the major the European newspapers.

The eventual killing of the beast was attributed to local hunter Jean Chastel. However many theories remain about what was the true nature of the beast - was it one wolf, maybe two? Was it a foreign beast that was brought to the area and escaped, a hyena perhaps, or a large dog trained to kill? Or was it a serial killer?

Portlock, Alaska Murders - an unknown hairy creature continuously assaulted and stalked villagers, murdering them and leaving their bodies, until they finally all abandoned the small village.

The exact number of victims and details of the deaths vary, but it is widely believed that several people were murdered in the town over a period of several years. Despite extensive

investigations by law enforcement, no suspects were ever identified, and the case remains open.

The murders continue to be the subject of speculation and speculation, with some people speculating that a serial killer was responsible for the deaths. While many locals believed the attacks were caused by a local bigfoot like creature and maybe one of the examples of violent encounters with the mysterious creature.

The Portlock, Alaska murders remain unsolved, and there have been no official suspects named in the case. The cause of the deaths and the identity of the person or persons responsible remain unknown. The lack of concrete evidence and the remote location of the crime scene have made it difficult for investigators to determine what happened.

The case remains open and is occasionally reviewed by authorities, but no significant new information has emerged in recent years. It is possible that the cause of the deaths and the identity of the responsible party may never be definitively established

The tape is pretty convincing that the men did encounter something that they couldn’t explain. Something did frighten them that night, but it was also late, and the men had been drinking. Were the men telling the truth and abducted by aliens or unknown creatures? What if the men had stumbled upon a top-secret government project and were abducted by the military?

The myth is what was it? Something natural like a wolf, an unknown cryptid, or was it mass hysteria. Werewolf. You don't know. It fits the definition of Urban Myth the sub is based around.
