I think my aunt and uncle are serial killers.

I just graduated high school last year, and I am 100% sure that my aunt and uncle are serial killers.<br><br>My aunt and uncle have this whole hippie, back to nature vibe going on. They moved to the middle of nowhere and live in a house built into a mountain. They're very reclusive and only associate with people from the nearby town, who all seem equally as off.<br><br>I've been forced to spend a few summers and winter breaks with them since I was a kid (my parents had to live in a different state for work, so I wasn't allowed to stay home alone.) They were pretty kind to me overall, except for my aunt's insistence on forcing me to shower in their outdoor river. I personally think she just wanted to see me naked, but that's a whole different story.<br><br>There are a few things that are weird about their house and neighborhood. First, there is this theme of flowers everywhere. There's an enormous floral statue in front of their house, and their property is covered in colorful universal flower statues. The actual town is filled with these things too, and the residents all have flower paintings covering their doors and windows.<br><br>My uncle works as a carpenter, and every night he works on making wooden flower boxes. I never really thought anything of it, but now I wonder if he uses them to bury bodies. I can remember him making jokes about the boxes only being big enough for a head or a hand. I also found this very strange door in their basement that had the name of the town painted on it in flowers. I think I stumbled on their kill room.<br><br>I also have a lot of memories of my cousins acting strange. One night I woke up to find two of them sneaking out of my room. They had apparently been watching me sleep, and later I found cat scratches all over my arms. I confronted them about it, but they denied it. I've also heard them talking about how they had to "cover themselves in blood" and that they "dug a hole to dump it in." I asked them what they were talking about but they just said it was a normal "human experience". Whatever the fuck that means.<br><br>Finally, my uncle told me something that stuck with me. I had to do some gardening with him as a punishment for something, and he told me that he "buried all his secrets in the ground". This is the weirdest thing of all because he's told me that multiple times, and he always seems frustrated that I don't get the hint. I brushed it off as him trying to scare me, but now that I think about it I bet he's talking about dead bodies.<br><br>I haven't seen my aunt and uncle in a long time. I have no way of knowing for sure if they're really serial killers. I don't have any proof and I'm not about to investigate them. The whole thing is really suspicious though, and I think it's possible.<br><br>Edit: a lot of people are saying my uncle is a serial killer because of his gardening habits. I should have clarified that he isn't talking about gardening secrets. He made this comment completely out of context.<br><br>I think that me being only 17ish when I posted this really shows, because this story makes barely any sense. Looking back there is a lot missing, and I'm sorry for not being clear enough.<br><br>I didn't call the police because I didn't have any evidence, and I was also a stupid teenager. I didn't bother to look into this again because I didn't want the truth.<br><br>Truthfully, I don't think my uncle is a serial killer. I don't know what is going on in that part of the country, but it's probably nothing much. Maybe the people in that town just like gardening? I should probably just let it go.<br><br>For anyone saying I should dig up their yard: 1. I don't live near them. 2. I don't have permission to go on their property. 3. I am not ruining my life by going to jail for digging up someone else's yard.<br><br>I probably should have just kept this to myself. I apologize for all the confusion, and thank you all for being so patient and understanding. I appreciate your concern and willingness to help me.
