"Safety is a basic human need, and we build a lot of our life around achieving it. This is nothing new, really; humans have always sought safety in a dangerous world. And because of that, it’s those moments when safety is shattered that haunt us the most."

For all you lovers of true crime (my kindred spirits), this episode should definitely appeal to you. It may make you a little uneasy the next time you’re alone in your home -- which is always if you’re a loner like myself. It talks about the tragic case of the Hinterkaifeck murders. Yes, I know that’s a mouthful. This story takes place on the Hinterkaifeck farm, near Munich, Germany, and it ends with the mysterious and gruesome death of the Gruber family. There was no apparent motive for this murder -- money was found in obvious locations in the house meaning robbery was out of the question -- and there were all sorts of strange happenings around the farm. By no means the strangest thing, but quite possibly the most horrible, is that the murderer chose a mattock for his/her weapon. Probably my fault for listening to this by myself in my empty house, but this episode gave me some serious creeps.
