All across Europe, these narrow underground tunnels called Erdstall has been discovered.
In Bavaria in Germany alone, over 700 has been found so far. The tunnels are tiny. Between
1-1.5 meters high and up to 1 meters wide. The thing is no one knows who build them,
for what purpose, or even when they where built. Some believe that they served some
sort of religious or spiritual purpose, while some think the tunnels where simply used for
hiding and shelter. But there is not a single written record of the construction of one
of these tunnels. They where all seemingly built in secrecy which is strange given that
entrances have been found inside houses, near churches and cemeteries, as well as in the
middle of the woods. If the tunnels were used and possibly built by Christians, why do records
of Christian kingdoms fail to mention them? It's also very unlikely that they where used
as dwellings or any sort of long term inhabitation as there's essentially no archaeological material
to be found within them. No residue of any kind except a few minor bits of coal and ceramics
dating back from anywhere between the 10th and 12th century.
Beyond that, these tunnels are a mystery.. Between 1982 and 1985, a group called The Brabant Killers carried out a number of violent
attacks in and around the province of Brabant in Belgium. The killers would usually attack
supermarkets and restaurants and randomly killed and tortured 28 people in the process.
According to the few surviving victims, the group consisted of three main leaders called The Giant,
The Killer, and The Old Man. What remains a mystery is the motive behind the attacks. They would only steal
minor amounts of money and sometimes even throw the money away when they where done.
