This Is The Single Craziest Thing You Never Knew Happened In Indiana

Odon, Indiana is a small town of approximately 1300 residents in Daviess County. It's a quiet, relatively peaceful town where not many strange or mysterious events occur.

However, one April morning in 1941, an Odon farmhouse caught fire. When the owner rushed inside, he became baffled when he noticed the fire seemed to be gushing out from the wall. This farmhouse was built before electricity was standard and without wiring in the walls, the cause of this fire was quite confusing.

Fire fighters rushed over and quickly put out the strange fire. Unfortunately, the weirdness didn't end there.

A little while later, a second mysterious fire erupted from a mattress within the house and the fire department had to rush back out.

This strange pattern kept occurring throughout the day. By the day's close, the firemen had extinguished 28 mysterious fires. Proposed causes included gasses from a nearby well, pranks caused by children, or magnetic fields. None of these causes could be proven or even fully accounted for what happened on this day. This mystery known as the Odon Fires was never able to be explained, and never occurred again.
