- History is filled with events
that have gone unexplained. And some of those events
had mysterious circumstances that many people knew about,
but nobody could explain. And what made them all the more strange were the terrifying details of each case. (uneasy piano music) Here are the 10 most chilling
unsolved mysteries in history. Number 10 are the Green Children. Sometime in the 12th century, reapers were working in
their fields in Woolpit, a village in Suffolk County, England, when they came across
a young boy and girl. Though they appeared human, their skin had a striking green hue. Their clothing was made from materials that the men had never seen before and they spoke a mysterious
unknown language. Taken in by Sir Richard de Calne, the pair appeared to be starving, but they would only eat beans until they developed a
taste for other foods. The boy died from illness soon after, but the sister eventually
lost her green color and learned how to speak English. She explained that they were
from the land of Saint Martin, an underground place with no sun and where everyone is green. The mystery of where
these children were from and what happened to that
girl still stumps minds today. Number nine is the Lead Masks Case. On Vintem Hill in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, on August 20th, 1966, a young
boy discovered the bodies of Miguel Jose Viana and
Manoel Pereira da Cruz, two Brazilian electronic technicians. They were found wearing formal suits with an empty bottle of water and two wet towels beside them. There were no signs of a struggle, though, oddly, each man wore a
lead mask to shield his eyes. But perhaps the most
puzzling piece of evidence at the scene was a notebook, which contained mysterious instructions directing the men to be at
that location in the hills at 4:30 p.m. to ingest
capsules just two hours later. Exactly how the pair
died is still unknown, but many speculate that they
were trying to communicate with beings that were not of this world. Nobody knows if they
were killed by overdose or by what they saw. Number eight is the Phantom Barber. In 1942, the town of
Pascagoula, Mississippi, was flooded with workers
helping to build ships for World War II. With 15,000 people arriving, there was bound to be some
dangerous individuals among them. But the one that truly made
people afraid was a barber. Preying on women and young girls, the Phantom Barber would break
into homes late at night, making a slit in a window screen. He would then give the
girls an unwanted haircut, taking much as a souvenir. The barber entered 10 houses in total. That is, until the
arrest of William Dolan, a German chemist. This convinced police
that they had their man, but many believe that the barber just chose a convenient time to stop. There are multiple pieces of evidence which show the true identity of the Phantom Barber is still unknown. Had he been able to continue his spree, perhaps he would not have
just stopped at cutting hair, but perhaps throats. Number seven are the
Beaches of Severed Feet. Those who visit the beaches
surrounding the Salish Sea should be on the lookout
for something bizarre and truly terrifying: human feet. On August 20th, 2007, the
severed right foot of a man was found inside a size-12 shoe on Jedediah Island,
British Columbia, Canada. However, it did not end
there, as, since then, a shocking 15 more feet have washed ashore on various beaches in British
Columbia and Washington State. Disturbingly, 14 of them
have been right feet and two were left that matched up with the rights that were recovered. Authorities have no idea
why the feet keep appearing, with theories ranging from it
being a sick practical joke being played by a serial killer to the coincidental
result of several people taking their own lives
off a nearby bridge. Regardless, this mystery is
still being investigated, literally one foot at a time. Number six is Who Put
Bella in the Wych Elm? On April 18th, 1943, four young boys who
were hunting for animals found the body of a woman wedged inside a hollowed wych elm tree in Hagley Wood in Worcestershire, England. When the police examined the area, they found the dead
woman's hand was missing, only to discover it quite far from where the body was hidden. In her mouth, investigators found taffeta, a high-end fabric from those days, and they determined that she'd suffocated sometime around October
1941, some 18 months prior. In 1944, graffiti began
appearing in the area, alarmingly asking, "Who
put Bella in the wych elm?" To this date, the victim, the murderer, and the original graffiti artist
have yet to be identified. And in a bizarre twist
to add to this mystery, the current whereabouts of
Bella's skeleton are unknown, as are all the official autopsy reports. Number five is Navy Blimp L-8. On August 16th, 1942, Navy blimp L-8 took off from Treasure
Island in San Francisco Bay with two occupants, 27-year-old
lieutenant Ernest Cody and 38-year-old ensign Charles Adams. Their mission was to locate and destroy any Japanese subs off
the California coast. However, around 7:42 a.m., Cody radioed in that they'd spotted a
suspicious oil slick. That was the last that anyone
had heard of either man. After a few hours of odd flight, which included losing a bomb
during a crash into a hill, the deflated blimp came
down on a street in Daly, a city just south of San Francisco. Investigators searched the cabin, but there was no sign of the men anywhere, nor was there any evidence
of them being attacked or suffering any failure. Odder still, the radio was
in perfect working condition. What happened to Cody and
Adams is still unknown. Number four are the Devil's Footprints. On the morning of November 9th, 1855, residents of Devon and Dorset
in England awoke to discover fresh snow had fallen in the night. But what came with the powder was something that still
baffles people today. Set in the heavy snow
were hoof-like footprints that seemed to wind through the towns, even going on to roofs and
along walls and into drainpipes. The cloven foot that left them was estimated to be 10 centimeters long by seven-and-a-half centimeters wide, strides measured between 20
and 41 centimeters apart, and traveled between
60 and 160 kilometers, though rarely in a straight line. Whatever left these tracks has never been positively identified, though many who came across them claimed that they were the
footprints of Satan himself or perhaps a demon taunting the townsfolk at the dark lord's command. Number three is the Sodder Family. On Christmas Day in 1945, Jenny Sodder was awoken
at 1:00 in the morning when her house was suddenly up in flames. Escaping with her husband, George, Jenny realized that five of her kids were still in the attic of
the house where they slept. Frantically, the family
began trying to reach them, yelling and even climbing
the outside of the building, but no response came. By the time firefighters arrived, the Sodders' home was
burned to the ground, but no trace of the five missing children. Afterwards, many claimed that the children hadn't been in the house
when it burned down, citing the lack of cries during the blaze and that there were no
remains found in the ashes. The Sodders hired a private detective to look into the missing children, but even he vanished, never
to be heard from again. Number two are the Flannan
Isles Lighthouse Mystery. On December 26th, 1900, just over a year after it was first lit, the Flannan Isles Lighthouse was the site of one of the most bizarre disappearances in Scotland's history. Around 12 p.m., the Hesperus,
a lighthouse tender vessel, arrived to relieve the three
men that were holding it, Thomas Marshall, Donald
MacArthur, and James Ducat. However, when they arrived, they found the flag outside was missing and there was no response
to their calls, whistles, or to the distress flare
the captain had set off. Upon going ashore, the crew discovered that the door to the
lighthouse was unlocked, but none of the three
keepers were in the building or anywhere else on the island. Inside, a meal was set out untouched, a chair was overturned, and
the clocks were all stopped. To this day, many people still investigate this bizarre disappearance,
but all that we do know is that they vanished without a trace. And number one is the
Dyatlov Pass Incident. On January 27th, 1959, 10 ski-hikers from the Ural
Polytechnical Institute set out from Vizhai, a
settlement in Sverdlovsk, Russia, on an expedition to Otorten, a mountain in the Ural mountain range. One of the hikers, Yuri Yudin, turned back on the second
day due to illness. However, the other nine failed
to reach their destination. On February 26th, a search
party found the group's tent torn apart from inside, and
eight of the nine sets of tracks were found leading away from the campsite. The hikers had torn their way
out, terrified of something, and fled so fast that they left most of their clothes and shoes behind. Six of the hikers' bodies were
found having frozen to death, while three others had sustained trauma. And of them all, the most terrifying was that one of the female hikers was missing her eyes and tongue. To this day, nobody knows what happened on that mountain pass. Those were the 10 most chilling unsolved mysteries in history. And if you enjoyed this,
