5 Utterly Terrifying Unsolved Mysteries No One Can Explain

A Man Disappears One Night, And Leaves The Creepiest Voicemail Imaginable Before Being Found Dead

One September evening in 2015, 32-year-old Minnesotan Henry McCabe went out to a nightclub with two friends, but never returned home. One of the friends, William Kennedy, claimed that he dropped McCabe off at a gas station convenience store shortly after 2 a.m. (don't act like you've never experienced 2 a.m. convenience store burrito cravings), but had no idea what happened to him after that.

Nearly two months later, McCabe's body was found in a lake about six miles away from that gas station. There were no noticeable signs of foul play. According to McCabe's friends, he had gotten quite wasted, so was this merely another tragic case of a drunk man stumbling into the water? That explanation might be easier to believe if McCabe hadn't used his cellphone to leave the most terrifying voicemail ever.

McCabe's wife was in California that night, and at 2:28 a.m., she received a call from him in which she could hear him screaming and saying he'd been shot. When she tried to phone McCabe's brother, the brother's voicemail recorded the last two minutes of the call, which contained bizarre unexplained growling noises (imagine a Wookie giving birth), followed by what sounded like high-pitched moans of pain. Have a listen if you think the concept of sleep is overrated:

This noise is followed by sudden silence, and then the call concludes with a male voice saying "Stop it." What in the fuck happened to this guy?

Well, suspicion fell upon William Kennedy's story, because the gas station's surveillance cameras didn't show him dropping off McCabe like he claimed. Not only that, but Kennedy also had McCabe's keys on him, even though McCabe would have needed them to enter his house. McCabe's wallet also happened to be in the possession of his other friend, who claimed he took it from McCabe at the nightclub to prevent him from buying any more drinks. Did McCabe's friends murder him because they envied his, uh, wallet and keys? Probably not, since cops soon found footage of Kennedy dropping McCabe off at a different gas station. He simply got the name wrong.

Even if you suspect some sort of robbery-murder plot here, how would that account for the weird-ass voicemail? Did the perpetrators morph into werewolves before they murdered McCabe? And even though McCabe was heard saying he'd been shot, there were no gunshot wounds or injuries on his body. What the shit?
