Not so much a mystery, but more of a gruesome custom of the Shuar Indians of the Amazon regions of present day Ecuador and Peru. A shrunken head is a real human head, ritually prepared for spiritual protection and intimidation

The Shuar did not collect the heads as trophies and had no interest in the heads themselves, but rather the soul of the victim that they claimed was contained inside the shrunken head.
