Its warm tan brick façade pulses with the patina of a century’s worth of sunrises and moonlit whispers. Every cornice and archway exudes an elegance born of the 1900s—a refinement that only an aged property can carry in its bones.

Police in Cherbourg—nearly 250 miles (400 km) from the little village of Goas-al-Ludu—had reported finding a child they believed might be their lost Pauline. Newspapers seized upon every whispered detail: Le Matin claimed she’d been abandoned on a narrow lane called rue Coypel, her small frame left in the hush of dusk; two years later L’Ouest-Éclair placed her at a woman’s doorstep on rue Crespel; and as late as 2017 the magazine Ozy spun a haunting tale of a “mysterious woman dressed in rags” who bore the silent child through empty streets. Taken straight to the white-washed wards of Cherbourg’s hospital, the girl lay silent—her lips sealed against speech and tears alike.

Today we have a true crime case that involves the paranormal An engraving in Kirby’s Wonderful and Scientific Museum, published early in 1804, portrays a pale, otherworldly form drifting among the tombstones—the eerie specter at the heart of the Hammersmith Ghost murder case. That year, paranoia and superstition combined in a string of midnight sightings around London’s Hammersmith district, producing one of Britain’s most notorious legal precedents: the principle that a person may be held criminally liable for lethal force even when acting on a wholly mistaken belief in self-defence.

Yet in the predawn hours of April 1, 2006, Brian vanished without a trace. Security cameras at the South Campus Gateway in downtown Columbus captured his last known moments—two brief, almost casual words exchanged with two women beside the glowing door of a second-floor bar—before he drifted out of view into the chilly spring darkness. Earlier that night, he had laughed with friends over the promise of spring break; when they eventually parted company, they assumed he was headed back home. Since that fleeting moment on camera, no one has seen or heard from him. The mystery of his disappearance, baffling investigators and gripping headlines from Columbus to Washington, still remains unsolved.

The victims were 63-year-old Andreas Gruber; his 72-year-old wife Cäzilia; their 35-year-old widowed daughter, Viktoria Gabriel; Viktoria’s two children, seven-year-old Cäzilia and two-year-old Josef; and their 44-year-old maid, Maria Baumgartner. After the killings, the murderer remained on the property for three days, eating the family’s food, feeding the animals, and lighting fires in the hearth. Four of the bodies were found piled in the barn, apparently lured there one by one. In the months before the massacre, family members and a former maid had heard strange noises from the attic; that maid quit, convinced the place was haunted. To this day, Hinterkaifeck remains one of Germany’s most baffling unsolved crimes.

The last person to see her alive was her downstairs neighbor and fellow sex worker, 35-year-old Minnie Janssen. A few evenings before Lilly’s body was found, she’d knocked on Minnie’s door twice for condoms, returning once around nine o’clock wearing only an overcoat. After that night, Lilly never emerged again.

Hello      Welcome back This is survived with Sophie and LexiWe started telling our survived story (in college) and we are moving on to being you guys moreThrough many different topics Mexico's first female serial killer Juana Dayanara Barraza Samperio entered the world on a chilly winter morning, 27 December 1957, in the dusty hamlet of Epazoyucan, Hidalgo, north of Mexico City. She would one day become infamous as La Mataviejitas—“The Little Old Lady Killer”—a moniker as chilling as the crimes that led to her 759-year prison sentence for the brutal slayings of sixteen elderly women. Although the first murder attributed to her has been backdated by investigators to the late 1990s and some pinpoint a specific victim on 17 November 2003, whispers in the press and police corridors claimed the true death toll swelled to between forty-two and forty-eight senior citizens. Even after Barraza’s capture, more than thirty cold cases were quietly shelved when authorities officially declared the Mataviejitas saga closed. In 2005, two additional suspects—Araceli Vázquez and Mario Tablas—were briefly branded by media and police as accomplices under the same grisly nickname.

In the predawn gloom of rural Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, Luna’s partially submerged car lay nose-first in a shallow creek. He had been stabbed thirty-six times with his own pocketknife—deep gashes around his chest and neck—and yet the official cause of death was drowning. Pools of dark blood clung to the rear seat, and crimson smears streaked across the driver’s door and front left fender. Investigators remain divided: was this a meticulously staged suicide, or a brutal murder cloaked in mystery?

Hello      Welcome back This is survived with Sophie and LexiWe started telling our survived story (in college) and we are moving on to being you guys moreThrough many different topics True Crime news: Bryan KohbergerIn the shadowy stillness of every Scottish loch and riverpool lurks the kelpie—each-uisge in Gaelic—a ruthless, shape-shifting spirit born of dark water and wild imagination. Tales of these water-horses, appearing under countless names from the Northern Isles to Wales, Ireland and Manx shores, seep through centuries like cold mist over black water. By day the kelpie often appears as a powerful grey, white or coal-black steed, its rippling coat gleaming with riverweed. By night – or when some foolhardy soul draws near – it can bend its form into a wizened old man, a shaggy farmer, even a seductive youth. In every guise, it betrays itself by the trailing tangles of algae in its hair or the telltale reversed hooves that mark it impossible to tame. Through such grotesque oddities it became tangled with Christian dread, likened to Satan by the poet Robert Burns, who warned that water-kelpies haunt the fords when winter ice melts and lure night-travelers to their ruin.
