And that too: A ghost is said to have been seen at the Marterl, which is reminiscent of the multiple murders of 1922.
As if every thought about Hinterkaifeck wasn’t creepy enough: The deserted farm near Schrobenhausen was the scene of a multiple murder in 1922, the old peasant couple with two grandchildren, two and seven years old, daughter and maid were killed with a hoe. It is still one of the most well-known unsolved criminal cases in Bavarian and German history, often prepared in literary and media terms or processed as material. The horror factor conveyed by the novel “Tannöd” by Andrea Maria Schenkel and the film adaptation with its cool, seemingly endless scenes is nothing for a start into a purple-mood week. And now that too: a spirit on the scene.
At least that’s what the paranormal research group “Para Ink – The Ghost Hunters” dutifully reports. She explores mysterious places with the help of all kinds of equipment. The results are also dutifully published in books and on YouTube, with more than 20,000 people subscribing to the channel. In any case, reports founder Mark Lagerin, the area around Hinterkaifeck had “unbelievable experiences”: a small figure, it could be the killed boy or girl, possibly the hunchbacked farmer’s wife. The person was standing next to the torture, which is reminiscent of the act of horror, and the thermal imaging camera also recorded something. The ghost hunter emphasizes: “We are no nuts and work seriously on our project. Our job is to show people that death is not the end.”
It has been known since the “Ghostbusters” that ghost hunters go to work with seriousness and zeal, for the benefit of mankind. Whatever the case with the sighting in Hinterkaifeck, the topic is in good hands with the YouTube troop. She has some experience, whether it’s a poltergeist in a hotel or a haunted band. It was different four years ago in Rosenheim: The police picked up three men and a woman in their early twenties who broke into an abandoned house. Maybe they wanted to steal something, maybe secret smoking or chatting in a strange place was the reason for the breach of the peace. But the quartet said: There were indications of a ghost in the house, the notorious “white woman” was there. Do you know?
