This YouTube video, titled "They kept seeing a dead woman" by the channel MrBallen, features three bizarre, true-crime and mysterious stories that were reported in reputable media outlets:
Story 1: The Doppelgänger Murder (Munich & Ingolstadt, Germany – A
ugust 2022) [00:56]
Background: Sheraban K., a 24-year-old beauty influencer in Munich, had recently separated from her husband and moved back in with her parents. Her family belonged to the Yazidi faith, which strictly forbids divorce, trapping her under
intense family pressure [01:47].
The Secret Plan: Sheraban fell in love with a man named Shakir. To escape her marriage and fake her own death, the couple plotted to find a lookalike beauty influencer on social media, murder her, and plant her body [03:0
8].
The Execution: They targeted Khadidja O., an Algerian beauty blogger in Ingolstadt who bore a striking resemblance to Sheraban. On August 15, 2022, they lured her into a Mercedes under the guise of giving her cosmetics, stabbed her over 50 times [07:4
4], and left her body in the vehicle near Sheraban’s estranged husband's flat [12:06].
The Unraveling: Sheraban's parents and initial police responders identified the victim as Sheraban [06:37]. However, the coroner discovered during the autopsy that the
victim's dental records did not match Sheraban's [13:35]. Witnesses also spotted Sheraban alive in public [13:48]. Police tracked down Sheraban and Shakir through social media messages, arrested both, and they were sentenced to life in prison [14:22].
Sto
ry 2: The Funeral Prank Gone Fatal (Lyon, France – August 1987) [14:46]
The Incident: During a solemn funeral mass in Lyon for Claudia Cessie’s recently deceased husband, a muffled male voice suddenly echoed from inside the casket saying, "Let me out of h
ere!" [16:17].
The Tragedy: Pandemonium erupted inside the church. Believing her husband was still alive, Claudia rushed toward the casket in shock, suffered a massive heart attack, and collapsed dead on the floor [16:49].
The Truth: When police investiga
ted, they found the deceased husband had been dead all along [17:11]. The voice was a tragic prank by one of the husband's friends—a professional ventriloquist who attempted to "lighten the mood" by throwing his voice into the casket [17:58]. Though horri
fied by the outcome, he faced no criminal charges as ventriloquism is not illegal [18:31].
Story 3: The Unexplained Levitating Death (Yorkshire, England – March 1963) [18:49]
The Incident: On March 18, 1963, 16-year-old high school student Eileen Welch wa
s standing outside her school chatting with friends when she suddenly screamed and levitated approximately 30 feet into the air with no physical support [19:20]. Seconds later, she slammed back down onto the ground, sustaining fatal injuries [19:47].
The
Investigation: Police interviewed 37 witnesses (students and teachers) who all independently corroborated the exact same sequence of events [20:31].
No Explanation: Meteorologists ruled out micro-tornadoes or strong wind gusts, noting winds of 110+ mph wo
uld have been required—which were not present that day—and such winds would have affected surrounding students, none of whom were moved [21:41]. To this day, no scientific explanation has been found [22:14].
