Colorado: The Black Forest haunting - Within weeks of moving into their home in the Black Forest area of Colorado Springs, "all hell broke loose" for the Lee family, according to Our Community Now. There were flashing lights, footsteps, orchestra music, strange smells, and even sightings of ghostly faces. The Lee family lives there to this day, still reporting the same phenomena. No one can explain what it is, although a Hopi shaman who was called in to consult claims the house is located on a "rip in the space-time continuum," where spirits can move freely between worlds.

Connecticut: The shallow graves beneath New Haven Green - In 2012, Hurricane Sandy caused a tree to fall on New Haven Green. Tangled in the roots was a human skull, dating back around 200 years. An archeological dig followed, yielding more body fragments, as well as coffin nails. It's suspected more than 5,000 bodies are buried under the Green and that they may have been "dragged out in the middle of the night, wrapped in a sheet, and buried in shallow, unmarked graves." Some theorize the people died during a terrible epidemic—though no one's sure of what. Are you familiar with this unsolved mystery?

Delaware: The inexplicable murder of Jane Marie Prichard - Jane Marie Prichard was conducting botany experiments in Blackbird State Forest in September 1986 when she was shot to death; campers stumbled across her body later. Many hunters were in the forest that day, but investigators quickly ruled out an accidental shooting, according to Delaware Online. What they couldn't figure out and still haven't is why someone wanted Prichard dead, and who might have killed her. The case remains cold to this day. Are you familiar with this unsolved mystery?

Florida: The spontaneous combustion of Mary Reeser - In July of 1951, authorities found the body of 67-year-old Mary Reeser in her St. Petersburg apartment. Or more accurately, the pile of mostly ash that once was Mary Reeser's body (part of her lower leg and some of her spine remained). Apparently, her body had been almost entirely cremated, which is mind-boggling when you consider that cremation requires three hours of burning in a 3,000-degree fire. Even more bizarre—only Reeser's body had burned: The rest of her apartment was intact, even a pile of newspapers beside her body. *** (Search "Mary Reeser Florida" if you want to see the crime scene photos. I didn't post them as I'm sure some will find them incredibly disturbing. They are really unexplainable). Are you familiar with this unsolved mystery?

Georgia: The Bleeding House - One night in 1987, Minnie Winston saw blood on the floor of her Atlanta house. Terrified, she ran to find her husband. He was fine, but there was more blood... everywhere. On the walls, oozing from the floor, seeping up from under kitchen appliances. She and her husband called the police, who found no evidence of a break-in. What they were able to surmise was that the blood had come from a living human. No one has ever figured out where or whom the blood came from. Are you familiar with this unsolved mystery?
