Get ready for Scary Mysteries, Twisted Two’s#1 Disappearance of Madeline McCannTen years ago, the world was shocked at the disappearance of 3-year old Madeleine McCann while she was on vacation in Portugal with her family. Her parents Kate and Gerry were on vacation with several other friends and their children in the town of Algarve, Portugal. Every night for the last four nights of their stay, the friends had dined together while leaving their children in their respective apartment rooms as they slept. And The grown ups would take turns checking in on their children every 20-30 minutes. On the morning of May 3, 2007, the day she disappeared, Madeleine asked her mother during breakfast, "Why didn't you come when we cried last night?" in reference to her and and her brother. Although the parent's didn't think much of it at that time, after she disappeared, they believed someone might have entered the children's rooms the previous night.The McCann's stayed in apartment 5A on the ground floor of the complex. Although it was 50 yards away from the restaurant, those in the apartment would need to walk out to a public street, enter the doors of the resort, and walk through the resort to reach the other side of the pool and the restaurant. From the restaurant, the apartment complex roof was visible but not the patio door. #2 The Lake Bodom MurdersOn June 6, 1960, four Finnish teenagers, two15-year old girls and their boyfriends, both 18, were out camping on the serene shores of Lake Bodom, located just 14 miles from Helsinki. Between 4 and 6 AM, while inside their tent, they were brutally attacked by an unknown assailant using a knife and a blunt object. Three of the victims, were killed during the attack while the fourth teen, Nils Gustaffson was severelly injured but managed to survive. Gustaffson suffered a concussion with bone fractures on the jaw, face. While in shock from the events, he said he saw a vision of "black and bright red eyes" coming for them.At around 6 AM, several birdwatchers in the distance saw the collapsed tent and a blonde man walking away from the scene. But it wasn't until 11 AM when a carpenter jogging through the area came across the gruesome camping site and alerted the police. During investigation, it was revealed the suspect never entered the tent and attacked the teens from outside, stabbing them through it with a knife and an unidentified blunt object. The attacker also took various personal items from them. Several clothes along with Gustaffson's shoes were missing. Some of the items, including the shoes were later recovered hidden around 500 yards from the murder site. The wallets and other belongings along with the other male victim's leather jacket were never recovered. So there were a two of the most mysterious & chilling stories around.
