20. A Man and a Snack.

A man wakes up in the middle of the night, looks out the window and sees it's raining. He makes a snack, turns out the light and goes back to bed. When he wakes the next day and looks out the window there are dead bodies everywhere. Why?

Solution:

The man is a lighthouse keeper who turned off the light of the lighthouse, leading to a ship crashing on the rocks and resulting in the dead bodies of those on board.

He never said they were human bodies.
Worms come out when it rains. Depending on how hot it is where he lives, they could have dried up before they got back in the ground. Also, could be the bodies of bugs attracted to the light and drowned in the rain.
