Have you ever wondered why October, the month when Halloween happens, feels like a time when spooky things and thoughts about the dead come together? To discuss this, including people's fascination with true crime stories and real-life horror, as well as the benefits of horror, Bored Panda reached out to Coltan Scrivner, a behavioral scientist at the Recreational Fear Lab at Aarhus University in Denmark and a research project manager at Arizona State University.
Scrivner has conducted pioneering research on the psychology of morbid curiosity, true crime, and horror. “Most of my research looks at how and why people can find enjoyment — and can perhaps learn something — from fictionally dangerous scenarios.” The behavioral scientist told us that Halloween is a big reason why October feels so spooky. “Its origins in All Hallow's Eve, as well as related holidays such as Día de Los Muertos, lead to an increased focus on the concept of death. Other factors, such as the changing of the leaves, may also contribute to a concept of eeriness and death.”

A friend had almost this happen to her long ago. Was a teenager, babysitting. Glass door - could see the intruder trying to break in. Before cell phones. Phone mounted on wall by glass door. She called the cops but had to abandon the phone. Took the kids she was babysitting upstairs and out a window onto the roof. The guy was looking all over for them and did stick his head out the window but they were just far enough around the gable that he didn't see them. The intruder fled when the cops came. I don't recall if they caught him. I just remember her talking about how scared she was on the roof. She is in her 70s now and that moment is still a memory for her.

Since media, including movies, TV shows, and social media, play a significant role in our lives, we asked Scrivner how these forms of entertainment contribute to our perception of creepy or unsettling themes. He explained that media often reflects what's happening in the world, especially things that grab people's attention. When we watch or read the news or engage with other media, we usually see things that many people find interesting or important. So, media not only shows us what's going on in the world but also focuses on what captures our attention. “Movies, TV shows, and social media probably don't create new creepy or unsettling things, but instead they amplify what we already find creepy,” Scrivner added.

According to Plane and Pilot Mazgazine, the craft was leased and in default. "The timing of the its disappearance, on the eve of it being repossessed, couldn’t have been coincidental. The most likely conclusion is that Padilla, a trained navigator, pilot, mechanic and flight engineer, either stole it for his own financial gain or did so at the instruction of Joseph. According to a Luandan pilot, 844AA was seen that night heading north and descending around Kinshasa, Congo. With no evidence of a crash ever found, it’s entirely possible Padilla successfully made his destination, sold the aircraft off for parts and vanished again into the night." https://www.planeandpilotmag.com/news/pilot-talk/what-happened-disappearing-boeing-727/

The original movie actually filmed in March. All of the leaves you see in the movie are homemade and after each scene, were gathered back up for the next. Note the leaves on the actual trees are a fresh Cali spring, where it was filmed. I think the total budget was 300k for the entire picture too. So the mask was purchased at either a mom and pop local hardware store, or at a Woolworth or something like that and it indeed was a William Shatner mask that was altered. Also, easily one of the best horror films of all time.

It's a curious thing – the way we are drawn to tales of real-life mysteries, gruesome crimes, and spooky events. In his research, Scrivner has found that “morbid curiosity is the strongest predictor of fascination with true crime stories and even real-life horror”. However, the behavioral scientist notes that this does not suggest these people are more accepting of terrible things. “They are driven to gather information about them.”

Translation issue? In the 12th century, there was no distinction between "green" and "grey," both words coming from the French word, "gris," which is pronounced "gree." Given followers of St. Martin's penchant for cave-dwelling, this probably only meant that they didn't get much sunlight. They gradually ate normal food. As for the lack of sunlight, they ARE from Britain, after all.

It is not just a perception. A vital fact about paradoxical undressing that the post omits is that it is a natural body reaction when being near to freezing, to put all energy that is left into genrating heat, in an attempt to prevent succumbing to hypothermia. So in a way, when people undress due to this, they counter their body's natural survival mechanism.

The church (and church yard) got some earth from Jerusalem (or Golgata, or Betlehem, somewhere in that region) and suddenly everyone wanted to be buried in that church yard bc the earth was more holy than elsewhere. That led to a bit of a space problem, and they started to dig up the bones from earlier times to make room for new (paying) customers.

Horror stories, found in movies, books, and more, might seem frightening, but could they actually have some positive effects? According to Scrivner, some studies propose that watching horror films or reading scary stories can “help people build emotion regulation skills and learn to overcome their fears and anxiety”.
So, the next time you find yourself immersed in a spine-tingling narrative, remember that there might be more to it than meets the eye—horror stories might just be teaching us valuable life skills in the most unexpected of ways.

Yet Eunice said throughout her life that she had no regrets. At age nine, she likely mistook her friendship with the neighbour boy for "love" and knew that she'd be safe from extreme poverty with him. I still find the whole idea horrifying, but I don't see the adults as being totally predatory. Any interview with Charlie shows him to be... dull-witted at best. They were in a society of extreme ignorance and poverty, where children were basically miniature adults. The mother called her daughter a woman because she could cook. She may not have even known that menstruation means fertility. It was a case of extreme ignorance. Eunice's mother also probably felt that this was the best possible future for her daughter in their poverty-stricken society.

Can’t believe people are surprised by this. This is still happening today here in the US. Many of these cults/religions have very close knit communities and give their very young daughters away for marriage. These are girls who have been sheltered from the outside world their whole lives (home schooled or just made to believe that everything outside their religion is evil). The men don’t legally marry them but they are wives and treated as property. It’s absolutely terrible but will keep happening because we have allowed religion to dictate much of everything in our country including politics. They will say it’s because of freedom on religion but these are no more than cults and no one will stop them. Be careful who you vote for in all your elections.

Why? They're bones, they've been sterilized, and the only way that a film production is going to get a hold of them for use on screen is if the person that no longer exists, or said non-persons family, sold or donated them. So where is the "wrong"? Something something jesus? Personally, i find it much more distasteful that the common practice is to pump a corpse full of toxic chemicals so as to parade it in front of loved ones giving the illusion that they're "just sleeping" at which point, that bloated, poison filled corpse is either sealed inside a box of wasted resources and lowered into the ground so it can eventually poison the planet one more time, or the poison filled corpse is stuffed in an oven, and all that poison has a much wider and immediate impact. When that's the standard, socially accepted practice, anything else is giant improvement.

Interestingly, even tho they have the ability of interstellar stealth travel, almost all of the rest of their tech develops concurrently with earth people’s. There were no descriptions of things that could be interpreted as lasers & computers until humans developed them. In other words, abductees imaginations seem limited to describing what they already know. The greatest leap in imagery by abductees happened after a film called Contact came out. That’s when abstract imagery skyrocketed in abduction descriptions.

To confirm what others have already said, this is from IMDB: Ten days after its premiere in Milan, the film was seized by the Italian courts and director Ruggero Deodato was arrested and charged with obscenity. He was later charged with murdering several actors on camera and faced life in prison. The cast had signed contracts requiring them to disappear for a year after shooting to maintain the illusion that they had died. Deodato contacted Luca Barbareschi and told him to contact the three other actors who played the missing film team. When the actors appeared in court, alive and well, the murder charges were dropped.

These don't necessarily belong to children. It's more likely that they belonged to the Liquidators who went in after the area was evacuated. Don't forget, the Soviet government didn't even tell the people of Prypiat and the surrounding areas about the severity of the incident, and when they did evacuate, the people were encouraged to believe it was for 3 days. Almost no precautions were taken with the safety of the public until then. The gas masks were likely abandoned by the Liquidators when they were released from duty, they could have been using the school as a base of operations. They left most of the equipment behind, from gas masks to clothing to the fire engines and helicopters because they were too radioactive to take from there.

The strangest thing about this is that while premature burials were extremely rare, the fear of them was not. It was something close to mass hysterics at the time, helped by stories and novels like Edgar Allan Poe's "Buried Alive" and similar. Doctors at the time sometimes carried a "heart knife": If they pronounced someone dead, they afterwards stabbed him to the heart to make sure he did not wake up in the grave.

Adding more context: Katharina was put in a mental institution in 1907 after supposedly sabotaging a railway line as a political protest. Before the Nazis murdered her (as a part of Nazi euthanasia program) in 1941, she wrote a play, tried to establish a home for babies, protested against the way the inmates were treated, and created miniature figures out of bread dough she probably chewed herself. Katharina also made a life-sized male doll out of the mattress ticking and straw from her bed, which she’d pummel when she was angry or dance with when she felt happy. This male gave her the surrogate love she needed in the institute.

Yes, thanks for the name, that was the one I meant above. Quite interesting documentary. They even managed to find out formally unknown facts about improvements of the mummification process the Egyptians seem to have made in the New Kingdom (something about switching from bicarbonate powder to a solution, If I remember correctly). As an avid (although not professional) follower of Egyptology I devoured this documentation enthusiastically...

I learned this from the 1960’s Art Linkletter show “Kids Say the Darndest Things.” There was a show that did what it said on the tin.

Easy mistake to make when you're not allowed to cut up human bodies, although decapitation has always been pretty damn lethal. It took quite a while for the news to get out that blood circulates ...

Not always through the nose, sometimes they used a chisel like tool to make a hole above the nose.

5 year old daughter to sleep and I had to be up early for work. She was asleep in 20 minutes and told me the next morning that an old lady sat on her bed with her and sang until she fell asleep. Just be respectful .

When there is paranormal events happening, especially in an old house it's because you've been disrespectful to the house. First thing you should do when you move into a new/old house is to say out loud that you are very grateful to be there and for sharing their beautiful home with you. They were there before you came and will be here long after you leave and that they are welcome to stay. You only have 1 request (obviously if you need more add it but don't ask for the impossible, for them to leave people etc) that they are quiet at night as you really need to sleep at that time. Another thing I ask for is that I'm terrible at losing items and that I'd really appreciate help with finding the items. 9 times out of 10 the item appears on my bedside table within a short while. The other 1 I've lost outside of the house and of course they are unable to help with that. They are usually playful and move things around but they can also be helpful. I asked one time for help getting my 5 yea

The 9 year old bride is creepy, but not in a spooky way, but in a call CPS way.

I'm surprised I never see Dr. Carl Von Cosel in these "Creepy" BP posts. He was in love with a woman, Elena Milagros de Hoyos, who had died of tuberculosis. He dug up her grave, took her corpse to his home and lived with her as his lover for 7 years. I watched a documentary about it and some of the things he did to the body were...well, definitely signs of his mental issues. Pretty interesting. Look it up

I think Sandby Borg belongs here. "Such an aura of horror clung to the site that when archaeologists went in to uncover the gruesome facts, local people warned them they should keep well away from the green mound within the low stone wall." Now, what happened at that place that made even looters stay away, and 1500(!) years later, locals still warns about it??? https://www.theguardian.com/science/2018/apr/25/swedish-archaeologists-uncover-brutal-5th-century-massacre And yeah... one of the bodies had sheep teeths stuffed into his mouth... https://youtu.be/yKG1BM7WVBY?feature=shared
