Whispers on the Farm: The Hinterkaifeck Murders
In 1922, on a remote Bavarian farmstead, six members of the Gruber family were found brutally murdered with a pickaxe. Days before the slaughter, eerie footprints appeared in the snow, the sound of footsteps echoed in the attic, and the family's maid fled in terror, claiming the house was haunted.
This is the story of Hinterkaifeck — one of Germany’s most chilling and unsolved murder mysteries. Was it a drifter? A vengeful neighbor? Or someone living in the walls?
In this episode, we unravel the strange prelude to the murders, the grisly details of the crime scene, and the baffling investigation that followed. Over 100 years later, the case remains unsolved — and the whispers still haunt the countryside.
