1583 Beselick Massacre

This is a unique and strange mass murder event that happened in the Holy Roman Empire on the 3rd of may in 1583, A unknown man killed his father with an axe and set his home on fire to conceal the murder but it spread throughout the town killing 27 adults and 13 children, he may of also attacked people with the axe during this time?. He was caught and burned on the pyre.

I found this why looking over lists of rampage killers and thought it is interesting as there is extremely little data on the event and the town Beselick has no records of ever existing but is said to be a old town in the area of Pomerania around the era of the Holy Roman Empire.

This one is really odd. There were many cases of unverified rampage killings. Siquijor (32 people dead when a guy was running amok with a machete) is worthy mentioning. I still tried researching this case though several newspapers — Brazilian, Italian, German, Chinese but still no success.

For rampage killings on unusual circumstances, what comes to mind is the Cirumput amok case in 1988 (10 deaths and 2 injuries by a women running amok with his bare hands and bare foot). Women only identified as O.L, allegedy under the influence of black magic requested the help of a shaman who did gave a note with instructions on how to cure her, after returning to her home, she began praying, when the prayer ended, she began stomping on the children for three hours. When the crime was discovered the woman was severely beaten by neighbours and afterwards taken to hospital, where she claimed that the children were not dead, but in the care of Madam Haji (apparently some kind of spirit) on the summit of Mount Gede.

Other strange one is of a women on Soweto in 1982 who strangled her own child when she had given birth and began battering other infants, killing six of them.

like the Zhuping school massacre, i saw it on wiki but no other sources talk about it
