15 people share the creepiest and most disturbing 'unsolved mysteries.'

The world is full of mystery, but some mysteries are far more haunting than others.For example, the mystery of where all our socks disappear to in the dryer may not be on par with a creepy story of murder, disappearance, and intrigue. Unfortunately for those involved, our world is full of a lot of wild and disturbing mysteries.In a popular Reddit thread, people shared the creepiest and most disturbing &quot;unsolved mysteries&quot; and they will have you donning a detective hat and vying for justice.1. From Abandoned_Cosmonaut: The Ibadan Forest of Horror in Nigeria. A local taxi driver goes missing and his friends create a makeshift search party and investigate a forest.  Instead of finding their friend, they find an abandoned school (or factory) that have the remnants of a hellish torture/murder, ritual k*lling and human tr*fficking.  Eight survivors were rescued. Numerous body parts, rotting corpses, and personal artifacts were found. The perpetrators were never found - although local politicians and ritualists were suspects.  Whilst this discovery is disturbing, the mystery for me is that the original taxi driver - still hasn&rsquo;t been found. 2. From losingmydognity: I am an avid unresolved mysteries reader, and I don&rsquo;t know why it has stuck with me, but Karlie Guse. 16-year-old girl called her stepmother to pick her up from a party, she was too scared to sleep because she thought someone would kill her.  The next day she disappeared. There were some weird interviews and dynamics between step-parents and birth parents and a bunch of theories abound. 3. From jayne-eerie: A lesser-known one that sticks with me is Celina Mays. Twelve years old, nine months pregnant, disappears from her room overnight. She didn&rsquo;t bring any belongings with her, and neither she or the baby have ever been found.  Her dad and his family were involved with a shady church, but there&rsquo;s no proof they know what happened to her. The obvious theory is that her baby&rsquo;s father killed her and hid the body to avoid statutory rape charges, but nobody knows (or will admit to knowing, anyhow) who he was. 4. From Toolboxmcgee: As a diver I find the disappearance of Ben McDaniels to be super interesting. They say he went into a cave and never came out, but some the world&#39;s top cave divers looked for him and never found a body.
